Volume 8 epilogue
──The Demon King army’s invasion.
That information promptly reached not only Faltra City, but the surrounding towns as well.
More so than the inner areas of the Lifelia Kingdom, the Demon King territory side made preparations to cope with the emergency.
In the plaza, a four colored smoke signal was lit, and it was well-known for the nearby people of the Races.
It was well-known even at the Master Swordsman’s hermitage.
Having finished the fierce fight with the Evil Monkey, Diablo’s group returned to the estate.
Sasala was in her private room at the back.
With the Martial Art that she used at the end, 《Daybreak》[1], seeming to have extremely exhausted her, and maybe due to the mental burden that was laid on top of that, she was in bed with a fever.
Shera looked after her.
Diablo was sitting in front of the hermitage. He was thinking about remedial measures.
Coming out to the yard, Rem ran up to him.
「It’s the Demon King army!」
「What!?」
「......A four colored smoke signal is a notification of an invasion. I don’t know when it will happen though.」
Getting to Sodmas from Faltra with a carriage took about five days.
「It might have started already.」
「......Or......there is also the possibility that it has already finished.」
Diablo shook his head sideways.
Krum said that she grasped the movements of the Great Demon King ahead of time. Besides, there was also Galford and the Adventurers. As if they would lose so easily.
「We need to hurry.」
That was all he said.
Rem nodded.
「I will tell Shera. Um......What about Sasala?」
「We cannot bring along, those who cannot fight.」
「......That’s true.」
At that time, the sliding door that connected to the inside of the estate opened up.
The appearance of Sasala in her sleep-wear was displayed. Behind her, Shera, who was making a worried face, was accompanying her.
「Di......Diablo......D, do you plan on leaving me behind?」
「Sasala-chan, you can’t push yourself!」
「Shera, thank you......for worrying about me. But, I will do my best.」
In the Master Swordsman’s hand──
There was the katana with a crescent moon crest engraved on it.
Diablo asked her a question.
「Will you fight?」
「......I, I heard that the existence of the Races is on the line. Also that, the Demon King army is strong.」
「Umu.」
「When my disciples......when my friends, are proceeding towards that sort of fight, I can’t be sleeping.」
「Yosh, then make preparations for war! We depart immediately!」
Lifelia Calendar, Year 164, December 24──
The 《King-led Great Demon King Army》 that the Great Demon King Modinalaam commanded, started its invasion of the territory of the Races.
It showed its strange form, to Fortress City Faltra.
