NT: Errr, I wanted to inform you that, due to certain reasons, mainly the advancement of their respective Manga, I decided to start translating double chapters of this and another of the Novels that I translate into Spanish, however, unlike the Spanish version, I will not be releasing the two or three chapters followed by this novel in English, although these should be coming out more frequently than before. This will probably continue until it ends with Volume 2 of this novel, I mean, when I finish with this chapter.
In the center of the lands that were once called Tokyo, the vibrant Kingdom of Hexaldoria was founded. Its Royal capital had a circular shape, and was organized so that the Royal Castle was exactly in the center of it.
The City of the Castle, which comprised 30% of the population of the Royal Capital, and in which was the Royal Castle, was separated from the rest of the capital by a huge wall. The City of the Castle was larger than Salumeria, which was called the Fortress City, and its population was made up of the servants of the King Hexaldoria.
There was a series of archs distributed in the east, north, south and west extremes of the wall respectively, which connected the City of the Castle with the rest of the Royal Capital. The Guards that were there not only had the job of making sure that no Monster will enter the Castle City, but also to confirm the identity of whoever wants to enter the Castle City, so that everyone, whether they were Nobles or Criminals, they had to pass through them in order to enter the City of the Castle.
It goes without saying that, because the population of the City of the Castle was made up of the Nobles of the Kingdom, the controls made to the people who wanted to enter the City of the Castle were really strict, since the guards had to make sure that these they will not represent any danger to its residents.
「I don’t think they are very strict」
「It looks pretty normal to tell the truth. It doesn’t seem different from the time I came to Castle City some time ago 」
Takako and Menou, who had gone after Kagami, had no great problems crossing the Arch and entering Castle City.
Although they had already managed to enter, the two decided to cover their bodies with robes to avoid being discovered while walking among the crowd that was walking through Castle City.
Fortunately, there were several discreet roads that surrounded the City of the Castle, which were not usually visited by ordinary people or the Adventurers, so they could move around without attracting attention.
「Wa~a… Wa~aaa! Amazing! Salumeria was amazing… But the Capital is much more! 」
Alice yelled cheerfully as she watched the city from one of the back streets. Alice had been amazed with the Castle City of the Royal Capital, which was “incredible” in a completely different way than Balman and Salumeria.
「Incredible… To think that I would really put a foot here. I never thought I would live to do this kind of thing… Seriously, so many things have happened lately that I can not even feel surprised by this」
「Demon King-sama… I agree with you」
Murmured the astonished Demon King, who, although this was the first time he entered a Human City, managed to remain as calm as Takako and Menou. Menou was also surprised by the large size of the Royal Capital, however, having become accustomed a bit thanks to his recent experience, managed to stay alert to his surroundings.
「It seems that Kagami-chan has not done anything yet. We have to find him as soon as possible. Now… where the heck have he go?」
「Is it possible that… he has already sneaked into the Royal Castle?」
Tina put her hands on her chin and murmured, 「He definitely would be able to do that」.
「Surely he found a way to do it … No, that’s impossible. To achieve this, he should not only cross that wall of more than 10 meters high that separates the Royal Castle from the City, but also avoid being detected by one of the many guards scattered around the place. He could do it if he could change his appearance or mute the sound he produces… But Kagami-chan can’t use Magic 」
「What is that idiot doing? I don’t think he’s get lost, or did he?」
「No, Kagami-dono doesn’t have a bad sense of orientation」
Takako, Tina and Menou tried to guess where Kagami would be based on his personality, however, they had not achieved anything. Kagami always acted unpredictably, so they were not able to think about anything.
「… For now, we should go to the front of the Castle and wait. That Villager will sooner or later do something, so we will surely be able to find him if we wait there 」
The Demon King, seeing that it seemed impossible to find him, proposed to go to the place with the highest probability of his appearing.
「… That’s true. That seems a more reality option at least. Let’s go. We can’t continue wasting time on this. Right now, Krull-sama must be-…! 」
They all put a serious look after hearing that. They could not keep wasting time doing something that seemed useless.
Taking into account that they had already been labeled as criminals, it was very likely that Krull and Rex had already been delivered to the King by Palna and Militaria.
「In the worst case, we’ll have to break through inside ourselves」
Takako murmured solemnly as she thought about the difficulties that they would have to face, while at the same time he recognized the importance of Kagami.
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
At the suggestion of the Demon King, they all went to the door south of the wall that separated the Castle from the Castle City. Everyone hid in the shadows of a nearby house while they watched the 2 guards who were guarding the door to the Royal Castle.
The sight of the guards yawning with boredom made the group understand that nothing seemed to have happened inside yet.
「He still has not arrived. I wonder what he’s doing… He’s supposed to have come before us 」
「What do we do? Should we get ahead and try to save that Krull?」
「… I can’t believe I hear the Demon King say that. To think that he would suggest doing something so dangerous as helping a Human 」
「I have also been helped by Humans. Also, who are we trying to save is someone who got into trouble for trying to help us, isn’t it normal to want to save them?」
「That’s… right」
「But, it will not be easy to save her without that Villager. I don’t know what will happen next … At least, I’m sure that all of you will have a hard life from now on… and I will be imprisoned again」
The Demon King seemed to have said that last in a different sense.
The fight had stopped temporarily. But Krull would soon be brainwashed, and the Demons would return to their daily lives. On the other hand, the rest, having been branded as criminals, will have to live in anonymity to survive… At the end, nothing will have changed.
That was an end they should definitely avoid.
With that in mind, Takako determined that it was best not to give up on Krull. However, there was no way they could change something without Kagami by his side.
Even so, Kagami still did not appear. Takako began to feel anxious about the fact that Kagami had not shown up yet.
「O-Over there!」
However, that anxiety soon vanished.
That was due to the words that Alice shouted while pointing to Kagami, who was walking nonchalantly towards the door.
「Ka-… Kagami-sama? Where the hell have he been?」
「I do not know. Maybe he’s planning something. Although he does not seem to take anything with him 」
Kagami, who had left all her belongings to David, was not carrying anything with him. Then, in that way, he continued to walk nonchalantly until he reached the door.
The Guards, who noticed Kagami, approached him after considering him a suspicious individual.
「Where do you think you go brat?Do you know where this leads? To the Royal Castle, the center of the Kingdom and residence of the King Hexaldoria 」
「Don’t you look like a Villager? … Oh, you really are. I do not know what you’re coming for, but you should leave! This is not a place where someone of your class can enter! 」
The Guards shouted as they aimed at Kagami with their spears.
「… I have things to do here」
Kagami said as he took both spears and shoved them back, pushing them out of his way as he resumed his way to the door.
「… Huh?」
Both guards shocked. They never expected Kagami to do something so reckless in that place. But what surprised them most was that, although they, who were Level 50, and had great strength, were easily repelled by a man who at first sight looked really weak.
「This guy… Is he really a Villager? He-Hey, someone come here! …! 」
One of the Guards shouted that, immediately after recomposing himself, as he ran to a window that served as a point of contact with the Soldiers in search of help. However, at that moment–
「Rex!… Krull!… I came to get you out of here!」
Kagami said that, which seemed like a declaration of war right now, with a voice so loud that it would make anyone nearby cover their ears, while destroying the door of more than 30 centimeters thick of a punch.
