Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 39: Maiden like Iris Flower (Part 02)

The company that Lisia had brought to where they had left Odo and Fiola around the cliffs. Looking at the porches of the place, they were wide open not playing.

The cliff path collapsed with a palm-like shape, in the valley below the abyss of trees scattered and uprooted the ground like making a straight path in the middle of the forest. The place was clearly visible from a terrible fight they could not have expected.

Fiola walked to the edge of the collapsed cliff neatly forming a hand, looked down and was stunned when he learned of the depth of the unnatural landslide. When in the mind of who it was, he swallowed saliva in his mouth heavily.

“What really happened to the point where it was destroyed like this?”

The woman looked around, along with some of the people who were with her. As far as their eyes could see there were no skull giants, nor the young men and Shieal they had left behind, there was only a sight of the old ravages of a great battle to behold.

“Nona, look there!” said one of the hunters.

Looking in the direction he pointed, everyone saw Fiola who came holding Odo in the midst of his tree-shades in the valley. Lisia's face immediately beamed, full of excitement and immediately shouted, “Nona Fiola! Lord Odo!!”

The two people who had come under the twilight light had slightly heard his voice. Odo who carried Fiola put on an annoyed face, immediately understood that his identity had been revealed and felt what he was doing during the free plan.

“I hate doing free things .... Worrying too much I hate too,” muttered Odo in a sling of Fiola.

Hearing what the young man said on his back, Fiola slightly smiled and felt happy to hear such words coming from the bottom of Odo's heart. Raising his face and slightly glancing back, the Huli Jing said, “Well, I don't think that's a problem. After all the situation was already like this, it was only natural that Miss Lisia was anxious like that...”

Looking back ahead, the Huli Jing again said, “Master Odo knows, the girl likes you, loh.”

“I know ...”

“Eh?”

“I know and ignore it. Ms Fiola understands my situation, ‘ right? I'm a Master Princess's fiancee candidate I've never even met.”

“Ah ..”.

The two of them continued walking until in front of the landslide cliff. Lisia who was at the top immediately slid down through the rocky slope, then stood before them with a face full of relief. Several warriors and hunters followed him, while the two witches remained at the top as they dared not slide down.

“Sgratitude .., you are fine,” Lisia said.

Looking over Lisia's shoulder, the young man with black hair carrying Huli Jing stared in annoyance. His eyes seemed to want to absorb and scold as crazy as possible, but it was held back because there were many people in the place.

Sighing lightly, Odo watched scanning the people present and making sure their number was around fourteen people, consisting of nine warriors, three hunters, and two mages. That's already more than half the number of members of the existing plan.

Descending from Fiola's sling, the young man stood on his servant's boat. It made Lisia completely shocked, Odo's physical condition was as alarming as that of a sick and thin person until his neatly formed muscles looked disgusting. The other people who saw it also felt similar, the young man's body was indeed his condition like a sickly old man.

“Master Odo ..., your body .... Is that the Demon King?” ask Lisia worriedly.

“Aaah, think of it like that. More importantly, Miss Lisia .... Why did you reveal my identity? You know that my identity was revealed .. This plan is free for you, right?”

“Ta-But ...! Situation .... That was the Demon King that not even Master Dart and Master Mavis could defeat during the Great War! If you keep it a secret, everyone can really leave you ...”

“I'm not that weak.” Odo stared flatly. Sighing a little, he said, “If I need help, I will definitely say it. Don't worry so much like that, Miss.”

The atmosphere became silent, Lisia and everyone who came with her fell silent as they felt the courage that had been gathered to be meaningless. Odo understands that if it is allowed to have bad consequences, the self-esteem of injured fighters can have a negative impact later.

Inhaling the air deeply and regulating breathing, the young man Fiola was addressing said, “I appreciate what you did by coming back to help me here. I really appreciate it .... Therefore, can I ask for help? What can?”

“Te-Of course!”

“After me is the carcass of Odrania Dies Orion .... As Miss Lisia saw, my condition is like this. We didn't have time to take care of it and maybe the Demon King's carcass could have spread another plague or created a monster. Can you please take care of it?”

“Tu-Wait! Meaning you have already defeated that Demon King?!”

“Not me, but Miss Fiola. I was just helping him.”

After which, the young man in black hair spoke in an explaining tone. His words seemed to make the Demon King defeated not because of him, but entirely thanks to Fiola's power alone. Fiola who heard that was silent, did not correct or refute Odo's words. Huli Jing already knew that the Master would make such a lie, he had been watching over the contents of his Master's head and understood his mindset.

After receiving a raw explanation in the form of such a lie, Lisia and below immediately prepared to eradicate the monsters that might have been created from the Demon King's carcass. Iitla along with the people came following to the place using a horse carriage, immediately descending the cliff and hearing the explanation from her colleagues.

The lies are contagious quickly and they believe. Without doubting Odo's words, most of the people went to check on the Demon King's corpse and the rest settled down to help the young man climb the cliff.

Of course naturally they would definitely not find a monster in the place of the corpse of Odrania Dies Orion. But for what Odo Luke tells the Witch children, it can be overcome. He asked them to herd some herds of monsters, to make a drama as if the monsters were lured by the corpse of the Demon King.

Sitting at the edge of the cliff limply, the young man in black hair stared towards the ravaged forest. He said nothing, just stared at her with his pale face. Fiola who was sitting next to him also fell silent, only letting the young man lean on his side.

The Huli Jing was also aware of Odo's plan, as well as the obvious reasons behind it. He knew what his Master was doing to protect the dignity of the Mylta people, preventing the collapse of loyalty from feeling useless to their Master.

“You think too much about things,” Fiola said as he laid the young man by his side, letting him lie on his lap.

In the darkening twilight scene, that was the end of one of the trips they went through together. The short story between the Sacred Beasts and the Black Element, the relationship intertwined like a Yin and a Yang. Unable to accept each other's views, but found it suitable to continue side by side.

Some of the witches and hunters guarding around the cargo and horse carriage looked at them with a hint of envy, feeling that the two people were indeed very compatible. Under the dark-turned sky filled with faint clusters of stars, one of the curtains of the little story was closed. Not for an end, but the beginning of a new column for the young man.

After the plan to exterminate the bandits and the unexpected defeat of the Demon King emerges, the Mylta people board a transport train to return to the city. That they did at dawn, after the soldiers hunted down the spare change monsters that came to the Demon King's corpse. In the plan, the achievement is truly greater than what was planned in the beginning.

However, what Odo's goal was not fully achieved. As the young man had expected, after they returned to the city most of the people thought the plan was the result of the Landlord's son their territory, Odo Luke. For the conglomerates and nobles, it was in line with their expectations for political subterfuge and rejected the results of the Mylta Family's achievements in cultivating and guarding their own territory.

Although the results are not suitable, but the reputation of the Mylta City Government is quite up until they can stand in balance with the Religious Parties of the coastal city. Lisiathus Mylta, as a Substitute Mayor and while taking care of the city was recognized for his abilities by his fellow officials.

He managed to gain the trust of the traders of the Lorian Trade Union within a few days of the plan being completed. Rumor has it that Mylta's daughter is close to Odo Luke, Aprilo Nimpio as the trade union executive in the coastal city soon formed a coalition to strengthen his position amid trade competition in the union and secure the route with low tax costs.

Iitla Lots, the Head Warrior also had his reputation soaring rapidly. Although it was because of the confusing information that said that the man was the one who stirred the spirit of the soldiers when fighting the Demon King, but clearly he was increasingly respected especially by the soldiers and city guards.

Iitla herself denied the news, but the rumors that had spread could not be stopped and actually assumed the man played a role in the annihilation of the bandits and the defeat of the Demon King.

The City Government of Rockfield, under the rule of the Baron Stein Family, expressing their gratitude to the Mylta Family for what Lisia had done by deploying an army and defeating the Demon King that had appeared in the Rockfield region. Although there was also the issue of the mobility of the armed forces to the neighboring region, it was not very much revealed and the other nobles could not take issue with it.

This is due to rumors circulating between the proximity of Odo Luke and Lisiathus Mylta. From the rumors, the nobles who tend to be incompetent and like to secure their own position in the hierarchy of power become unable to express opinions. Even though it was a rumor, it was likely that the Marquess family became closer to Myta making them unable to make a blatant vote.

For the fate of the bandit leader, Tox Tenebris, and his family who were officially arrested in the aftermath of the plan, a trial will be conducted within an undetermined period of time. Their interrogation process was carried out internally by the Chief Warrior of Mylta City and his subordinates who participated in the extermination plan before it would be handed over to the central court in the Royal Capital of Felixia, Millia.

In existing achievements, it is not entirely like what Odo Luke hopes to be a plan innovator. But for Lisiathus Mylta himself the plan that has been completed is very large impact, can change the hierarchy of the nobles in Luke's territory. Open a new sheet of pseudo-systems that tend to side with the nobility who do not like change because their situation could be threatened.

Month 03, Year 2,699 of the Pendulum Calendar.

As no winter had come to an end, the snow stopped falling and the clouds mending on the sky slowly drifted aside. The temperature rises and slowly the snow melts, new shoots begin to emerge, and new life sprouts will begin in the spring.

At the Luke family residence, the heir and only child of the family sat on a chair near the side porch of the Mansion. About a month after the plan to exterminate the bandits was completed, the young man who a few weeks ago his physical condition of concern has been seen to begin to recover.

Odo as usual wear thin clothes in the form of a white shirt and black pants. That was already the character of that young man. Although he could not use temperature manipulation magic, he still did not eliminate the habit. However there were a few different things from the young man, he slightly shortened his hair and wore black gloves on both hands.

Lifting the herbal cup from the table in front of him, he enjoyed the stamina-boosting medicine while looking at the sight of snow slowly melting at the end of winter and making the surface of the ground visible. Eve was still cold, the wind was blowing slowly, down the young man's skin and made him shiver a little.

Little remembered when he first returned with Fiola after the plan to exterminate the bandits, he could only smile lightly because he was scolded by Mavis. A sense of pleasure is in the mind Odo, he feels that is what it feels like to be feared by parents. Being scolded by the figure of the mother is the same as being still cared for and loved, at least that's how she feels.

At that time the residence became crowded because Mavis snapped, full of anxiety that overflowing. This was very strange for Odo because his mother did not mind his physical form that looks more mature. Although after that Mavis showered Odo with questions, but his mother's warm embrace when welcoming made him not to bother about anything else again.

“Although I was dragged to and fro, such a thing was indeed what I wanted the most.”

Spending his herbal tea, the young man placed the cup onto the saucer. But before leaving the place and about to go inside, Fiola came over and asked, “Master, is it better? Can you walk alone?”

Looking at Huli Jing's small smile those tanned black hair, Odo's brows twitched slightly. Fiola's words were not ordinary subtle innuendos, but a fact that Odo could not walk when he returned to the Luke Family Mansion and was carried by the fox girl.

“Yes, more or less .... This tea is very effective. Although only use makeshift ingredients in the kitchen and storage of medicine Mother, but I think it does not matter if only to increase stamina.”

The young man sat back down, leaned back on the back of the chair and momentarily stretched his hand upward. Looking at the young man with a light gaze, Fiola sat down in front of Odo at the same table. Put your right elbow on the table and hold your head while looking at the young man.

“Really?”

“Really, just read my mind if you don't believe.”

“Uuuh, I told you not to think of me like a peepers people's heads.”

“Hmm.”

The young man in black hair turned his gaze to the corridor, observing his own residence that looked desolate. Dew drops flow wet on the windowsill glass along the side porch, the floor surface is wet due to melting snow, the, and the peaceful atmosphere that existed made it seem as if the Demon King who appeared about a month ago was just a dream.

Slightly staring at the sad Lord, Fiola asked, “Did Lord Odo get a new ability from the Demon King? Did you seize the ability of the opponent you defeated again?”

That slightly jolted Odo. Looking at Huli Jing with her eyes slightly open, she asked, “Why does Sister Fiola think like that?”

“I know .... Mana streams, aura permeations from Magic Core changes, or things like that are very easy for me to notice. That Huli Jing Race is one of the Race that has high sensitivity with that kind of thing.”

“Hmm ...”

Odo again turned his eyes away from the woman wearing the black Hakama with the red boss. A little glance, the young man understood that Fiola actually wanted to invite him to discuss something else that was difficult and heavy to talk about.

“If you want to ask, just ask. What a hard,” mind Odo.

“Then, I asked.”

“Ah.” Odo looked up slightly and turned towards Fiola.

His mood was slightly silent again, the Huli Jing stared intently with a grim facial expression. The wind that was not cold before for the young man slowly started to make him shiver, not physically but his mind shivered in fear of Fiola's gaze.

“First, this is a question for the representative of the Madam. He did not ask this because he considered your feelings ..., but I should ask.”

“Hmmm.” Odo nodded, stared back and seriously listened.

“What ... You are still Mr Odo?”

Without a doubt the young man in black hair replied, “I'm still Odo Luke. Although my physique is like this, but the soul is still Odo Luke. Is it possible ... the reason Mbak Fiola asked that was because he felt that there was a Demon Soul in me?”

“Yes, it is clearly in Mr.” Fiola said. Slightly bowing his face and growing grim, the woman wearing Hakama said, “Not only Devils, but Dragons, Monsters, Spirits, even on the black bracelet in your hand feels a strange existence. Actually I am not too blame it as long as Mr. Odo can control it, but Madam is worried because the Devil that feels from Master is exactly the Devil that Madam and Mr. Dart fought first. I don't know exactly what it is, anyway.”

“If you already know that much, I don't think it needs to be explained at length. I do have all that, my body has become a kind of container for them and they also give me strength. The reason I can be strong is not because I was strong from the beginning, but because of their loan.”

“Loan?” Fiola was a little surprised, raised his face and asked, “What Malak also .... Ah, his name is Development Malak, Gott fairt, huh? Magic is also a loan?”

“Ya, loan.” Odo lifted the empty cup, then flipped it over on the saucer.

“Means in you there is also a Dewa?”

“Not ...” Odo slightly sighed lightly in heat, knocked on the flipped surface of the cup and began to explain, “I borrowed it from the Black Dragon, in the form of raw power for the change of properties in the form of gas, as well as crystallization. After that, I changed it with my magic structure to access the existing Malak. Using continuous processing to generate large amounts of energy, I expanded Malak's range and expanded it. Bottom line, it's some kind of magic reactor in the body.”

“Hmmm.”

Fiola nodded in understanding, slightly understanding why Odo did not lose his human form despite using Malak. Fundamentally, the Angel Manifestation magic as a whole used natural energy to fuel its activation, that was why the physical body of the being using the magic would be destroyed like being gnawed at by natural energy and completely destroyed along with the soul.

“What is that kind of infinite Mana source?” ask Fiola.

“Hmm ...”

“By the way, the Invoke Magic that Fiola Mage used was what?”

“Eh? You saw it?”

“Yes, by then my consciousness was back .... At that time Fiola's hair became white and Duar! Bewoo! Booms! Zuuz! The duarrrk! Like that ...”

Seeing Odo say that with a flat and uninspired expression, Fiola could only be stunned in a strange sense. Turning his eyes, the Huli Jing said, “What does it look like? Absurd highly ...”

“So, that's what?” ask Odo seriously.

Slightly turning his gaze toward the garden, Huli Jing replied, “Yeah, it's some kind of Divine Mode. By activating the divine power present in the body simultaneously in a certain amount, I squeeze it to achieve the Pseudo form of a Goddess. As a result, summoning the Magical Beast was possible for me.”

“Magical Beast? Not Heavenly?”

“Magical Beast was in Heaven, it was already very great, loh.”

“Why not be called Heavenly Beast?”

“Heavenly Beasts also exist in Heaven, but they are more often in Heaven, the higher dimension where the Main Gods live. Well, the difference of the two types is only on the level of strength, basically they are both beings endowed with divine power.”

“Hmmm ...”

Odo looked away and was about to end the conversation. But before moving on from the spot, Fiola asked, “So, what do you get from that Demon King?”

The young man's expression was a little stunned, the purpose of widening the conversation to not discuss it to be useless. With a lazy look, he asked back, “Serious want to know?”

“Sure ...” Fiola nodded quickly.

Sighing deeply, Odo replied, “That's the ability to send information briefly.”

“Hmm?” Fiola confusion.

“Compress big information into a small data, then send it in the form of a signal. Because basically the brain can receive certain signal frequencies, I can track it and send the data that has been prepared,” explained Odo.

Hearing that, Fiola even more confused until his ears and tail moved quickly. The nine seemed to be dancing, going into the sidelines of the seat back and showing what the woman who wore a flat expression felt.

“What ... are you talking about? Compressing? It means putting a cold cloth over the forehead so that the fever goes down?”

The question made Odo understand that indeed Fiola did not understand the explanation. Turning a glance away from him, Odo said, “It's a kind of telepathy. But, it is not word by word, but directly in an information package.”

“Sorry, I don't understand ...”

“Ah, an example like this.”

Odo opened his palm forward, inviting Huli Jing to shake hands. When Fiola shook the young man's hand the information immediately entered his head and it was not just one or two words, but a complex set of understanding plans delivered and instantly made him understand without problems.

“This ... what ...? Why can ...?”

“That's his ability. I can send my understanding and make others understand what I want to convey.”

Fiola slightly flinched and stopped shaking Odo's hand. With a confused face because he remembered something, he asked, “Don't-don't .. The rumors circulating it was you?”

“What rumors?”

“Don't belaga stupid, Mr Odo! All the rumors going around about the extermination plan! That very favorable rumor ...”

“Oh, about that anyway. I was the one who spread it.”

Fiola's body instantly trembled. All the rumors that circulate if you think about it again are too smooth to be an advantage. Whether it was rumors about Odo's proximity to Lisia that made the nobles and conglomerates unable to resist the achievement of the Mylta Family, it was Iitla's achievements that left the soldiers' pride untarnished and their good names preserved, or even the bandit leader's contribution in fighting the Demon King that made immediate execution avoidable, he said, all of this is too strange to happen simultaneously and regularly.

Realizing that it was all Odo, Fiola really felt that the intelligence of the young man sitting in front of him could not be understood in his direction. It was the same Odo had manipulated everyone even in conditions that could be said to be extremely weak without him knowing.

Saliva heavily, Fiola asked, “You ..., really want to do it?”

“Of course, Madam Fiola already knows my purpose, right? So, is Miss Fiola also willing to join me?”

“Sorry ..., I still doubt.” Fioal lowered his face grimly.

“Tak problems .... But, it's better Fiola quickly determined it. Soon the time limit will end and the jarring will move. If one were to spin, then all the serrations would spin to rerun this world.”

Fiola now did not understand what Odo said, but he would later know that a change would bring about another change. The slow-moving world is coming to an end, a new stage will begin with newly installed serrations.

Understanding the doubts that exist in Huli Jing, Odo chose not to force or suppress it. The young man got up from his seat and said, “I go in first, maybe the others are already waiting in the dining room.”

“Ah, I forgot .... I came here to take Mr. breakfast in the dining room,” Fiola said as he woke up. Tidying up his Rights, he smiled slightly and again said, “Come!”

Seeing that Odo understood that Fiola thought the previous offer did not exist, the Huli Jing really wanted to keep her position by not supporting or forbidding.

.

After the conversation, Odo and Fiola went inside for breakfast. The atmosphere was still quiet as it passed through the hall, the servants except Shieal had not returned from their leave, and Dart Luke as the Head of the Family had not returned from the Capital either. Although there were only a few people within the vast Mansion, the atmosphere was not too quiet.

In the dining room, Odo Luke sits next to Mavis. The face of the blonde woman next to the young man looks bright, full of pleasure while staring from the side of his son's face —to-to make Odo restless.

“What's up, Mommy?”

“Nothing .... It's just that you look a lot like your father when you were young, Dad. Hmm, maybe more handsome.”

Not so eating the dried bread and soup provided for breakfast, the young man with black hair turned his head. “What Mother is not bothered with my appearance?” ask Odo in wonder.

“Originally you have recovered it is enough for Mother .... Actually Mommy didn't like to see you in the body this fast, my son. But after all I think it doesn't matter, besides your attitude hasn't changed at all. Even Mother feels your current appearance is more suitable.”

“Ah, true also .... Most people in this Mansion often feel that my attitude is not like children, anyway.”

The Shieal like Minda, Imania, Fiola, and Julia who were in the same room were slightly jolted at the young man's words. They all often think like that, feeling that Odo's attitude is not in accordance with his appearance.

Not minding the servants standing in the corner of the dining room, Odo picked up the jam-filled dry bread and ate it. While eating breakfast he briefly narrowed his eyes and thought many things, especially about the reaction of the Shieal who also seemed not to discuss his physical changes.

“What ... Mother said something to them?” said Odo after finishing his bread quickly, without taking a spoonful of soup served.

“Say what?”

“To not mind this change of my body because the transformation magic structure is broken. If Mbak Fiola is reasonable not to ask questions, but the chatty Julia should ask continues .... That's unnatural.”

“Ah, so it seems.”

Mavis slightly turned her head back, glancing sharply at one of the female uniformed servants among the Shieal. The waiter was of course Julia, the cat girl immediately lowered her head along with her tail and ears limp as if reflecting her guilt.

Stopping breakfast by flipping the plate to put the bread, Odo said, “If Mother orders it to them to keep my feelings, you better stop it. Mommy knows, I honestly don't really care about things like that. Whether they want to gossip or something, I don't really care.”

“Really? If the servants on leave return, they can immediately spread the rumor to the end of this region, you see. When you defeat the Black Dragon it spreads from the mouth of the servant to the merchant, then to the corner of this place in Felixia Kingdom.”

“Uwah~” Odo stared flatly at his mother, feeling disbelief at the level of such gossip and said, “The information network of this place is severe. Seriously those who spread it?”

“Hmm, Mommy sure it's them. At first, Mother herself was not too worried about it. But because of that you are made a prospective fiancee of the Princess, so Mommy thinks it is better it needs to be addressed.”

“Therefore they are prohibited from discussing my physical changes?” ask Odo.

“Iya, because that's.”

“Keep the news about Fiola's brother defeating the Demon King, how are you also spread?”

The question that deviated suddenly made Mavis a little silent for a moment, thinking the right thing and asking, “Fiola? Didn't you beat Odrania?”

“Mother knows for herself how it is, right? Fiola's brother who beat him,” Elak Odo.

Hearing the lie, Mavis stared flatly with a slightly dark expression and an instant stoning gaze. Raising her right hand and putting her palm over Odo's crown, the blonde woman said, “You know, my puraku .... Mother has been with Fiola for a long time, Mother knows exactly the limits of her ability and development. There was no way Fiola could defeat that Ancient Demon King.”

“Ah ..” Odo slightly looked away, in the mind felt free to pretend stupid in front of his mother.

Raising a hand from Odo's head, Mavis said, “Talking about the prospective fiancee candidate, it looks like you have been confirmed to be Princess Arteria's fiancee, loh.”

“Already expected, surely the edges like that ...”

Hearing that, Fiola who stood in Shieal's ranks only realized that one of the reasons Odo hid his identity during the extermination plan was to reduce his chances of being chosen to be the Princess' fiancee. He opened his mouth and was about to ask, but immediately disengaged because the Mother and Child were talking in a fun way.

“Do you not like that, my son?”

“Not like it, just that Mother knows that I have not met the Princess at all. After all, if my appearance is like this she must also be surprised.”

“Quiet only ...” Mavis smiled slightly, put her right index finger to the front of her lips and said, “Although Princess Arteria is now eleven years old, she already has a Soul Contract with the Great Spirit of Steel, Nova El Luna. Plus the legacy of the late Queen, Princess Arteria also has a connection with the Holy Spirit the protector of our kingdom.”

“Holy Spirit?” Odo pretended to be a little surprised, then asked, “Ah, the reason the female descendant of the Kingdom of Felixia is considered Sacred is, huh?”

“Yes, Holy Spirit, Oddya’ia  .... The case is not much different from yours. Although the Princess is still young, she already looks like a teenager in her 20s and her attitude is very mature because she inherited the memories of the previous Queens.”.

“Hmm, I'm starting to understand, Mother ...”

After that, Odo continued to talk with his mother about Princess Arteria. From that, the young man knew some interesting things from the Royal Family.

King Gaiel had two wives, the late Queen Dalia and a concubine named Sarawati Irbar. After the Queen is gone, automatically the position of the number one person falls to the King and concubines rise in status. The king had two children, from the concubine and the Queen. The first child was born to a concubine, a male and named Ryan. For the second child, Princess Arteria herself as the rightful successor to the throne.

Indeed, in the arrangement of the family there are no obstacles, the concubine did not demand her son to be raised to be King or demand more. But it is not in line with what the country of Sarawati's origin, the Kingdom of Ungea. Because in the country is also experiencing a process of leadership change, such things become a driver of the concubine's demands to get more.

The meeting held in the Royal Capital of Felixia itself took care of this as well as the issue of engagement. Plus the news about the kingdom of Moloia that conducts military movements in neighboring countries, it makes the condition of the Michigan continent slightly heated up in terms of politics of each country.

Although there are no clear signs of military conflict, each country is certainly moving troops to neighboring countries for sabotage carefully and still at the level of avoiding war. Whether it was Felixia, Moloia, Urzia, Ungea, or even Miquator, all of them sent troops to their respective border regions to increase security.

In the explanation, only Luke's territory in the Kingdom of Felixia has not fully increased security. Although there had already been bad events such as the plot to assassinate the heir of the Luke family, the nobles in the neighboring region still showed no signs of helping. Even the nobles and conglomerates in Luke's own territory have not had a meeting to discuss it.

The slow response of Luke's territory to the changing political conditions of the Michigan Continent is caused by two things. First, Dart Luke as Landlord Luke's territory is being summoned to the Capital for an important meeting. Therefore the nobles could not trigger a piercing because it would be considered as a leading snob and get a bad impression among the nobles.

The second cause was due to the matter of the newly completed bandits as well as the Ancient Demon King who suddenly appeared. Indeed, both of these things have been completed and can add value to the Kingdom of Felixia in the eyes of neighboring countries, but it only applies if the Fourth Agreement is still running as it should.

If the treaty is ignored, the Kingdom of Felixia that has defeated the world threat may not be cared for and even considered weak because it has lost military power due to the emergence of the Ancient Demon King.

Hearing these explanations from his mother, Odo did not budge at all and felt that they were still within the scope of his plan. The young man has many secret cards to overcome it, especially things to prevent Moloia from becoming an enemy and prevent the kingdom's military aggression with the most advanced technology in the Michigan continent.
