Chapter 324 - Let's Investigate the Cause

The time goes back two days before the devil came to Abandoned Capital Muruage; that is to say, the day Kazane and the others came to the abandoned capital and reunited with Yohan.

There, they were told the reason that rank S adventurer Margo was in the abandoned capital with Yohan.

◎ Abandoned Capital Muruage, Feudal Lord's Mansion, Guest Room, Two Days Ago

「The dragon village assault? The devil's?」

Kazane and the others stared in wonder after suddenly being told that by Yohan.

「Oh, you even know about the devil matter? In that case, the story will be quick.」

What do you mean, the story will be quick... Kazane thought, but apparently, the fact that Kazane and the others fought the devils in East Dragon Village Zegan wasn't known.

Kazane looked at Jinrai, who shook his head.

The East Dragon Village was a hidden village from the start; its location wasn't publicly known. In the first place, even if someone knew the location, they usually wouldn't be able to enter due to the mist barrier. Since it was such a place, even though Hyvern Dukedom was aware of the situation regarding the devil's attack, they hadn't openly disseminated information about the incident.

And at the present time, for Kazane's... rather, for Tatsuo's physical safety, the birth of a child between Naga and the God Dragon Empress was even more highly confidential information. As a result, it seemed the information about the White Party's presence in the dragon village was being generally concealed.

「What is it?」

Margo tilted his head at the exchange between Kazane and Jinrai, and Kazane replied「Nn, it's a secret for now.」On top of Kazane's head, Tatsuo (black dragon camouflage) cried Kuwaa.

「Well, I suppose you have special circumstances.」

Margo nodded when he saw that. The presence of Tatsuo with Kazane means the White Party must have some relation to the dragon village... Margo thought, but the details concerning much of the work he himself had undertaken also wasn't to be disclosed to others. It seemed he understood that they similarly couldn't talk about their secret.

「So, we knew about the attack on the dragon village, but how is that connected to Yohan-kun?」

After Louise's subsequent question, Yohan himself answered.

「Do you know about the place called Ruined Kingdom Reivel's Territory in the northern Doma region?」

Louise nodded after Yohan's words.

「Yeah. In general.」

The biggest taboo region on the Philon continent,『Ruined Kingdom Reivel's Territory』. In other words, it was the former site of the Reivel Kingdom, which was ruled by Devil King Yukito. It was now an area controlled by the ghosts.

And after hearing that much, they could guess the circumstances.

「In other words, Yohan-san was asked to purify that area?」

Yohan nodded after Kazane's question.

「From the start, Yohan-kun's affiliated with the Guild. His ability is high enough to purify this city, so it's a nominated request that doubles as scouting for rank S. Well, that discussion has been coming up inside the Guild for a while now, but it has recently become urgent.」

Margo added. The attack on the dragon village was almost two months ago. Since they knew the main culprit was White King Yukito, it wasn't strange for them to consider measures for『Ruined Kingdom Reivel's Territory』. And Kazane thought it had probably become urgent recently because of the matter with the floating island's fall.

「But to do that, I have to leave this place, and thanks to Kazane-san's introduction, I'm currently under the protection of Queen Yuuko. So it's on hold until I can consult with Queen Yuuko. Well, I was thinking about contacting her soon.」

It was certainly easy to understand. However, there were still questions.

「But I don't understand. I don't know if Rynox or the Adventurers Guild decided it, but what led to a rank S like you coming to guard him?」

Margo shrugged after Jinrai's question.

「Well, the guild made a blunder. Someone gave Yohan-kun's information to the devils.」

「It couldn't be... devil hunters?」

Louise asked forcefully, and Margo replied「Who knows?」Margo was cold to women.

「Are you saying you don't know the details?」

And Margo leaned forward to answer Jinrai's question. Louise made a rare vexed expression.

「That's right. But I was told that the guy who gave the information and people connected with him were rounded up, and it seems they caught almost everyone. I'm bad with such gloomy stories, so I don't know the details, though.」

Everyone was weary after Margo gave a fully detailed answer when he acted like he didn't know, but Margo continued talking without minding that.

「Anyway. It's certain that the devils know about him, so it's highly likely that Yohan-kun is being targeted. That's why I was called. Well, I'm also supposed to ascertain his abilities for the rank S scouting.」

「So we went crazy when we entered the city due to an automatic spell formula. That is to say, it's meant for the devil?」

An automatic spell formula was a magical trap that was installed in a specific place and activated when the right conditions were met.

「Well, that's right. Right now, you're the only ones who have been affected by it.」

Margo said. Everyone but Kazane and Tatsuo made unpleasant expressions. Everyone probably recalled the illusion they saw some time ago.

「Was it okay, Tatsuo?」

『Yes, Mother. It was a little interesting.』

He was a child with no fear. Indomitable.

「So then, we've talked about our circumstances, but do Kazane-san and the others have business with me?」

「Nn, we can't come and see you if we don't have business?」

Yohan was flustered as Kazane suddenly looked at him with upturned eyes. Kazane was half joking, but there was a person there who couldn't take it as a joke. And the reason Yohan was flustered was because, behind Kazane, Naoki was making a face like a demon as he murderously glared at him.

「No, that's not the case, but...」

「Well, we do have business.」

Ah, so you do... Yohan and Margo thought, and when they saw the materials that Kazane took out of her Item Box, they stared in amazement.

「Four advanced Skeleton Cores and Adamant Skull Ashura bones. We also have their weapons.」

「You have some extremely rare things.」

Yohan said in surprise, then Margo spoke with admiration.

「I see. Requesting that of Yohan-kun is certainly correct.」

The reason Kazane and the others came to see Yohan was to have him build Skeletons for them.

After consulting with Yohan, Kazane handed over two advanced Skeleton Cores and Adamantium bones. Yohan would create two Skeletons, which would be finished two days later.

「Ah, we had no turn?」

Lyle's sorrowful voice resounded. Next to Lyle, there was an object that made rattling noises as it stopped.

The name of that huge object was Holy Skull Legion.

It was a giant skeleton soldier that Yohan made after Kazane's request two days ago.

This Holy Skull Legion was completely made of Adamantium bones, but Yohan didn't have the Skill to reproduce an Adamant Skull Ashura, so it didn't have six arms. However, instead of that, a large number of Adamantium bones were assembled to form it. Furthermore, it had the Holy attribute due to Yohan's blessing.

Also, there was a separately moving skeleton protruding from its chest. Kazane's request was to create two skeletons, but it seemed the remaining one was inside the giant skeleton.

Incidentally, the『Holy Clay Bardiche』was taken from Tatsuyoshi-kun Dragoon and given to the Holy Skull Legion. The skeleton protruding from its chest had two blessed Adamantium swords, and contrary to its appearance, it was a specimen fully covered in Holy attribute.

The two advanced Skeleton Cores were lined up side by side and processed into a『Twin Bone Orb』, and Lyle was currently giving it instructions. It was adjusted to have no owner in particular so that everyone could operate it.

In any case, the turn of the newly born Holy Skull Legion had faded into mist. The combination play of Kazane and Margo had completely erased its activity field.

「It looks like it's over.」

A skeleton boy accompanied by two Adamantium Skeleton Soldiers came from behind.

「Yo. Even though we had you make this for us at great pains, it didn't get a turn.」

Lyle called out to Yohan, who he had already become familiar with. Their ages were close, and since Lyle was relaxed with everyone, it seemed he and Yohan had immediately become friendly.

「Ahahaha. Well, its lack of a turn is proof that everything finished safely, isn't it?」

「Well, that's right. But, that's terrible.」

Lyle grumbled as he looked at the crater created by Kazane.

「Well, nobody lives there now.」

Yohan's eyes were a little dejected as he spoke. Even though he had taken the time to purify that area at great pains... being disheartened at this situation probably couldn't be helped.

「I'm sorry for Aneki.」

Naoki, who was with Lyle, bowed his head. As long as people didn't try to get close to his sister, he was an Adonis. He was the best man for followup duty.

Yumika:「Kazane... you've increased them again.」

Kazane:「Uu, I'll take care of it, so it's fine to keep it, right?」

Yumika:「Don't treat a monster made of skulls like a pet!」

Kazane:「But it possesses the Holy attribute thanks to Yohan-san's blessing.」

Yumika:「That solemn intimidation is scary.」
