“By the way, Katie. How did this happen? What was the guarding knight doing?”

Grandpa starts inquiring about this incident, probably because Miss Ekaterina was feeling better. That is bothering me too. It is even possible to attack a head of state while being guarded? Or were the guards really that dumb?

“About that… I was completely caught off guard… and only…”

“Carelessness?”

“Eh. Didn’t the Dahm’s commander went against the marching orders? Thanks to that, the devils almost escaped…”

“Yes. If it wasn’t for grandpa, I don’t know what would have happened to Earlshide by now…”

If Grandpa and Grandma hadn’t prevented it from attacking with such a razor thin margin during that event, Earlshide would have be a battlefield by now. When you think about it, Dahm’s commander did something ridiculous.

“Because the messenger of Dahm said that they wanted to apologize for that event, we took the offer obediently. The knight and I didn’t doubt the friendly relationships between us and Dahm, since it is the country where the headquarters of the God of Creation religion was originally established…”

Oh, I see. I know I’m being a softie, but I’ve heard that Dahm is treated as a friendly nation in Ys. Since Ys is a higher-ranking country, I think they were looking down at the messenger of the subordinate country that caused the trouble. She said she was caught unexpectedly.

“It’s… a shameful story.”

“… I can’t retort to that…”

Now Miss Ekaterina looks more like a woeful student who is pissed off at, than Her Highness the Pope. She’s pissed off grandpa and is currently sulking at her mistake. Still, I’m curious about the last words that the Dahm’s emissary was shouting about.

It seems he didn’t like the fact that I was being called a Herald … I heard that it was the same case with the Dahm’s commander; I wonder if that’s the norm in Dahm? I didn’t name myself that, but if there is such denial floating around, it is going to make a dent in my reputation…

“No, that shouldn’t be the case. Didn’t I tell you that it was decided at the summit to recognize sweetie Shin as a herald? Of course, the King of Dahm was also present. He also agreed in return”

“Then, what did that messenger say?”

“It’s…”

When I question, Miss Ekaterina falls silent. That messenger’s words bothered me, but there’s another thing that vexed me even more.

“Besides, didn’t he…almost turned into a devil? Is it that big of a deal to have so much resentment?”

“Surely… I don’t think it should be enough resentment to turn you into a devil.”

“Previously Kurt … a person who turned into a devil at the Academy of Magic, also turned into a devil rather easily. But at that time…”

With that much thoughts poured out, something clicks in my head.

“You don’t mean to tell me that… he was used for another Schtrom’s experiment?

“… Right, that boy Kurt. He was used for human experimentation by the devil’s leader.”

“If there was a devil behind this incident too…”

And what was Schtrom doing in Royal Capital? He’d been experimenting with demonizing living things. If that is the case, then the question that was mentioned up by Aug the other day. Isn’t the answer here that with the advent of the devils, a greater number of disaster level demons began to appear, demons that we didn’t see before? Schtrom succeeded in demonizing living creatures. Isn’t the next thing he’s aiming for, the evolution of demons?

So maybe the experiments were the never seen disaster class, the wolf that lacked cunning during the campaign, or a disaster class of deer that we’ve never seen before, or a rhinoceros that wasn’t supposed to turn into a demon, but converted regardless. That means that Schtrom’s experiments aren’t over yet, right?

“Grandpa… we may have made a terrible mistake…”

“A mistake?”

“Schtrom may not been consented to wage war but he may not have stopped his experimentation on demonizing.”

“That’s…”

Grandpa couldn’t deny that fact either. He is struck silent. I decided to communicate this hypothesis on to Aug right away. I’m guessing the future responses will surely change, depending on whether or not Aug is aware of such hypothesis.

“Miss Ekaterina, are you feeling alright now?”

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

“Yeah. Thank you. I’m feeling much better.”

“I think you have lose some body weight, so eat well and exercise. That should get you back to normal.”

“Really? Even though the number on the scale had decreased…”

“You can’t be healthy without a certain amount of body weight. If it’s okay with you, can you gain back your original weight?”

“I understand, but what’s about the hypothesis you just talked about?”

“Yes. I need to go home and discuss this with Aug, or we’ll be in big trouble…”

I am just about to discuss with Aug when I hear the ringtone of my wireless communication device going off.

“What? What’s that noise?”

“Oh, I’m sorry.” – The sudden ringing startles Miss Ekaterina, so I apologized and then answered the call.

“Hello? Who is it? Oh, Aug”

“What? Mhm, it truly is wireless!”

Oh, I didn’t mention to Miss Ekaterina that it’s wireless. She is surprised behind me, but its good timing because I just had to talk to Aug.

“You called just with perfect timing, I need to converse with you about …”

“Never mind about that, we will talk about it later! I need you to come to the rescue now!”

“What? Rescue?”

After hearing that, a loud explosion could be heard from the other end of the communicator.

“Hey! What’s happening?!”

“A devil! A devil has appeared”

“A devil?”

“Why is it now… and…”

“What do you mean by ‘rescue’?　If it is a devil you’ve subdue a lot of them before!”

“It’s different than before! These devils…”

After this, Aug told me something shocking.

“They are incomparable stronger than all the devils up until now!
