The Queen Of The Demon World
37. Three Friends

“Why haven't you guys found it yet?? Are you looking for him in earnest?!” eadric asked wrathfully, not just him. Beside him were Ned, Zachary, Aelene and Zion.

They seemed a little surprised to see the anger of Eadric who was very rarely shown the polar man.

“Zac, is there something wrong with your brother?” aelene whispered.

“I don't know, ever since that strange girl disappeared. Eadric so could not control his emotions and continued to get angry, he even deployed knights to look for the ordinary girl.”

Aelene who was irritated by Zachary's annoying remark immediately stepped on the man's foot. “She's my sister, don't insult her like that!”

“Aww, did you catch that girl? Why are you defending him too? Don't-don't, he's giving you incantations. We must go to the witch and destroy her spells!” Zachary clasped Aelene's hand and was about to come out, but Aelene snapped her hand and let Zachary's hand slip.

“I was not hit by incantations and not sick, you do not know how good Rimuru is. You can't insult my sister like that!”

“Aeli, I'm just guessing. Besides, you can't feel it when you get hit by.”

“I didn't get hit by anything! Anyway, as long as Rimuru is not found. Then I won't talk to you!” Aelene angrily walked out.

“Aeli, wait for me!” Zachary soon caught up with Aelene and left only the three handsome men who had been silent with their own thoughts.

“Mr Duke, I came to report.”

Suddenly, a black-clothed man appeared before Zion while kneeling with one leg as a pedestal. He had a glance at Ned and Eadric who seemed indifferent to his words.

“Let them hear it.”

“Good, after I followed Miss Katrine all this time. I learned that Miss stayed at the inn, but a few weeks ago. Miss came out and I lost track of her, after that. I was looking for Miss Katrine's identity, but I couldn't find anything during this.”

“Have you gone to the information bureau?”

“Yes, I've been there. But they also don't have any information about Miss Katrine, I hear. Miss does not live in the city of Lagarde, from the guards at the border. Miss was once seen out of the city Starlaxy.”

“Then?”

“I've searched Miss in all lodgings, but I can't find Miss. No one even knows Miss Katrine at all.”

“So yeah? You can go.”

Rey disappeared in an instant, Zion massaged her temple dizzy.

“Who's the girl you're looking for? Looks like he's quite valuable to you.”

Zion turned her head towards Ned, she smiled faintly. “He is not a noble, he is just a commoner. But her mysterious attitude caught my attention, and one more thing. She is my friend, of course I will worry about her.” Zion shifted her eyes. “It's a shame that he suddenly left back then,” murmured slowly. “Ah, but I still clearly remember the smell of her perfume. It smells of roses, very fragrant and soothing.”

“Oh yes, your waiter turned out to be very beautiful huh. What if you make him Alyssa's replacement? He looks a lot like her, right? Although the girl was not a holy maiden like Miss Earlene and Alyssa, at least. He was quite reliable, he could even defeat many bandits without hurting them. By hurting one of them.”

“Don't think of taking it from me! He is the savior of my life, so I have to treat him well despite his truly brash attitude.” Eadric massaged the base of his nose, he got dizzy from Zion. “Do I rent it out manners teacher when I find it later.”

“Your Highness,” called Ned out of the blue, Eadric and Zion turned to him with a confused look on their faces. “What do you think, Rimuru is a witch? Although he used to not confess, but I once saw him enter into a mirror with strange magic.”

“Mirror?”

Ned nodded. “Yes, she suddenly went into the mirror as I was watching her from outside.”

Zion held her chin thinking. “Facing where is the mirror?”

“If it is not wrong, to the east,” replied Ned without hesitation, Eadric just kept quiet while paying attention to the interaction of the two.

“Mirror, east. Ah, what not-don't, she used the portal to move?”

“Portal needs stable magic and control, it is impossible for him to make his own portal.”

“But it could have been, Ed. After all, it was possible that the girl was a demon. As long as you remember, the eastern portal is the portal to the demon world. And to get to the demon world without going through the portal, you need a lot of magic and stable control. But more than that, you have to make a mirror or a transparent object facing the direction the portal is located. If not, the ritual will fail. But why would he use a lot of magic just to get to the demon world? Moreover, a human like how could survive in a demon world filled with monsters.”

“You are right, Sir. Come to think of it, Miss Rimuru should have died from being devoured by monsters. Even the warriors and Knights that we sent to the demon world never again appeared in the human world and chances are true, they have died being preyed upon by the demons.” Ned approved Zion's remark, he held his chin in thought. Somehow, both of them were cool to think and consider Eadric as transparent.

“I know!” ned said loudly after a long silence and made Zion and Eadric surprised. “Maybe, that Rimuru is half demon. That's why he wasn't preyed upon by another demon, and-”

“You stupid or how?”

Ned and Zion turned towards Eadric who suddenly made a sound, the man propped up his chin with one hand tapping on the table.

“The demons prey on each other, so there's no way Rimuru will survive even if she's half demon. Unless he was a noble demon that was stronger than other demons, but what about the sun? Rimuru can even casually walk in the sun. If he's a demon, even if only half. He will still burn to death in the sun which is the weakness of the demons.”

“Hem, you are right too. Your Majesty, so what is Rimuru? Is he a demon or a ghost?? Just so remembered when he suddenly rose from a pool of blood.”

“Arise how?”

“Look, Mr. Duke. Previously, we-”

“Only you,” interrupted Eadric quickly.

“Khem, meaning. I poisoned Miss Aelene, even though the poison was harmless. But the poison could have made Miss Aelene faint, back then. Rimuru looked extremely desperate, and she suddenly used a high level of healing magic on Aelene. And after that, he suddenly vomited blood. Even his eyes and nose were drained of blood, and finally. Rimuru was unconscious, after that. There was a little girl who suddenly appeared, the girl was indignantly indistinct and strange. He called Rimuru the master, the girl was about to say something about the palace. But Rimuru suddenly got up and made us both very surprised back then.”
