Konjiki no Moji Tsukai Chapter 312

「The people……aren’t here?」

They could not see anyone on the streets, Hiiro was puzzled.

The quietness was spread throughout the entire neighbourhood as if it was a ghost town.

「What is this? the citizens should be living on without being affected by any of the developments right?」

Liliyn crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes.

While saying so, she surveyed the surroundings. Yesterday, when they did their investigation there did not even exist any indication that the place was affected by war. The people were living their lives as if it was usual.

Perhaps the citizens had received some kind of brainwashing, where they would spend the rest of their days without noticing the situation of the world.

In fact, the place looked like it was right out of a painting, a place without any color was spread before Hirro.

「Oi, Judom Lankers, what are you going to do now?」

When Liliyn gazed at Judom who had teleported together with them, he also seemed to have not expected this situation but still he kept his calm.

「 Right now, I will heading towards the bases of the rebel armies while staying out of sight. They might be able explain the situation right now.

There is no time to waste.」

「Then what shall we do?」

Staring at the royal castle, Judom responded.

「Anyhow, I still have something that I should take back.

「Hiiro, what are you going to do..… you must have decided something」

Hiiro starred at the royal castle like Judom.

Even if he did not say it with words, the thoughts were transmitted to Liliyn that it would be the destination.

「Oujou-sama, what are we going to do?」

Silva, while cautious of the surroundings, asks about their future plan.

Originally, they were supposed to help Hirro by providing support. Liliyn was also asked to attract the attention of the enemy.

Liliyn was actively participating in the war was because of the contract proposed by Leowald.

When Leowald came to the 【Demon capital Xaos】to do the military planning, Leowald, who had free time, said that we would like to talk about 【Paradise】with Liliyn.

Of course, the topic was about the plot of land which Hiiro had talked about before to build the 【Paradise】.

Since the 【Varau Wilderness】in the beast continent was the most optimal place, they talked about the conditions and the terms to hand over the plot of land.

However, Leowald still kept this on pending.

The contract terms were attractive, but he could not make such decisions alone. There was a process to follow, he couldn’t decide it just like that because he was the king.

When Liliyn was discussing, Hiiro was also there. They took a few hours talking about the conditions while Liliyn and Leowald talked about the finder details.

It seemed that when the war ended successfully, the land would be transferred over safely.

But there were certain conditions imposed on Liliyn.

That was that she would lend her power in the war.

If Avoros wins, then the dream of 【Paradise】would be popped like a bubble.

Therefore, it was hard fact that she would have to do so.

But Liliyn also put her own conditions there.

She would only do what she could, and she would only support Hirro.

Although Leowald made round eyes and his laughter that echoed was broken, he still was agreed with the condition that was proposed.

Which is why Liliyn had also come together with Hirro. But, it seems they had made a gap in judgment on how to move since looking at the eerie state since they could not see even a single citizen, let alone the enemy.

「What, we just do what we were originally going to do.

We just support Hirro until we arrive at the intended target.

is it better to separate from Shamoe?」

「Wha, YEs desu!」

「Ku,kuyi~」

Shamoe was trembling in nervousness, while Mikadzuki was hugging Shamoe.

「Kuzel-dono, shall the two of us protect Shamoe and the others?」

「Ee, but………」

Kuzel who had his usual easy-going face suddenly tightened his face. Noticing, that Hiiro asked 「What happened?」.

「N-nothing, It’s just that I have this *ZawaZawa*(chill) like feeling……..but seriously Hiiro-san, about what you said, about that person…..?」

「………As expected, it was that tribe.

That thing, what your feeling right now, it’s here isn’t it…… that guy is.」

「Wait a moment, listen carefully!」

As Judom noticed something, he asked everyone to be quiet.

Everyone become quiet at that moment, trying to hear what he noticed.

Faint footsteps could be heard from the ground which reached their ears.

It seemed like they were still far, but the sound was steadily growing louder.

It was from the direction of the castle and was heading towards their location.

The earth trembled slightly at the sound.

Before their eyes, they could see a black lump.

It was a collection of people.

It looked as if they were part of an army, and they were advancing steadily.

「Oioi, that Avoros, he really does what he wants!」

Judoms resentment leaks out from his words along with several curse words.

It was well deserved.

Because the group of people that were headed here.

There was no doubt about it—–

——-Because they were the people of 【Victorias】
