Volume 1 Chapter 1

Leia Toivanen, the receptionist at the Adventurer’s Guild in the port city of Rupol, knocked on the door in a gloomy mood.

“Come in, please”

“……Excuse me”

Inside the room, the curtains were swaying from the wind blowing through the open window, and a figure wearing the mask of “Laughing Devil”, a member of Ou Ura no KamenKing’s Masquerade was standing there, his whole body covered with a jet-black robe.

“It’s been a long time, Leia-san”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a request for “repairing clothes ※specialized skill required” posted, so I was surprised.

So, what is your business this time?”

If there is a request that says “※specialized skills required” mixed in with the requests sent to the Adventurer’s Guild, it indicates a “request for cooperation” from Ou Ura no KamenKing’s Masquerade.

Leia, who was aware of this, went up to the reception room on the second floor of the Adventurer’s Guild, thinking that she might be involved in trouble again.

“The other day, it seemed three meters size Soil hornwormSand worm have sprung up in the city. “

“Yes, well. As usual, Yuuri-sama cleaned it up in an instant.

Then, what is this about? “

The secret agent, wearing black leather gloves, tapped the window frame with his fingertips in a rhythmic pattern. It was as if he was setting the tone for a conversation.

“Normally, there are no Soil hornwormSand worm that can grow that large in the city soil. And even though they were not in the pregnancy period, when they wanted a lot of nutrients, they went out to the ground “all at once” in search of prey.

Don’t you think it’s strange? “

Leia, who wears a uniform that emphasizes her chest, turned serious, then locked the door and kept her voice quiet.

“A deliberate incident? Is that what you mean?”

The laughing devil stops his finger.

“That’s the most likely scenario. This time it was Rupol, but a few years ago, a similar incident happened in the royal capital. Perhaps the culprit knew about the incident a few years ago and ‘copied’ it. “

“Soil hornwormSand worm Outbreak in the royal capital … “

Leia had read the documents that were also distributed to the guild. It was a famous case that was suspected to be masterminded by King Schwelzwein.

“I’ve had asked Monster Research InstituteMRI to examine the corpse, but they found something like this in their body. “

Ou Ura no KamenKing’s Masquerade took out from his pocket a mysterious reddish-black object that was a complex combination of three-dimensional figures such as cones and cubes.

“This is?”

“We call it BionucleusLiving core. It contains an enormous amount of magic power and will not be destroyed by any external shock. It will only be destroyed after it has expelled all of its magic power to the host who has it embedded in its body. “

The laughing devil’s mask faced Leia head-on.

“This is Heaven’s Blessing TreasureGift Item“

“No way! Then, the culprit is an adventure-Muguu!”

A black palm clamped down on her mouth, and the demon in front of her put his index finger over his mouth and warned “Shhh”.

“The flying dragon disaster that occurred in the royal capital a year ago… We believe that this is related to the incident where hundreds of (Flying) dragon species flew towards the royal capital.”

A dungeon is a strange structure that exists in this world. Only adventurers are allowed to enter, and the only one who is allowed to take it home is a hidden treasure known as a “Heaven’s Blessing” with special powers.

That is Heaven’s Blessing TreasureGift Item.

Although it was possible that the treasure was in the hands of someone other than the adventurers, it was safe to assume that the adventurers, who could easily take it out of the dungeon, were involved in this matter.

“I want you to confirm Yuuri Alchiffon’s involvement in this matter.”

“Huh!? Are you saying that Yuuri-sama is the culprit!? I’ll kill you!? Get out of here, you King’s dog!!”

Ou Ura no KamenKing’s Masquerade brilliantly avoiding the hugging attack from Leia’s sudden change and then softens his tone of voice as if to calm down.

“You’re wrong. Listen to me until the end. We suspect Yuuri Alchiffon knows the “whole story” about this matter.”

“Does he know the whole story? Yuuri-sama does?”

The skinny devil nodded his head.

“Yuuri Alchiffon was also present at the site of the Flying Dragon disaster a year ago, and this time as well. He destroyed Soil hornwormSand worm.

Moreover, he’s mumbling, “Nice, Soil hornwormSand worm” in the back streets”

“Nice, Soil hornwormSand worm……? “

As expected, Leia’s twisted her head at the mumbled praise for the main culprit this time.

“It was the only word that I happened to hear from him, who was very cautious. It seems as if it is the dialogue of the person who caused this incident, but… It is unnatural for him to clean up everything on his own. Even if it is a Self-made PerformanceMatch Pump*, it’s unnatural.

Therefore, we consider it to be “Code”. “

(TN: *stirring up trouble to get credit from the solution)

“Code… Indeed, it would not be surprising if Yuuri-sama was using code in his communications…”

“Now, in the royal capital, hundreds of researchers and mathematicians are scrambling to crack the code. But there is no progress. It’s as if, ‘Nice, Soil hornwormSand worm’ It doesn’t mean anything more than that… Probably, he using a very advanced code method.

Perhaps he knows the whole story and is still fighting behind the scenes with our unknown volunteers against the “mastermind of the incident”? “

Leia had an idea, and she was afraid to say the words.

“Yuuri-sama has been working alone as an adventurer until now… Now that I think about it, I wonder if that was “to avoid involving anyone else in the harsh battle”…”

“I see … it makes sense.”

The king’s spy nodded deeply.

“And sometimes he would whisper, ‘I love you, Amira.’ When he was reading at the table in the corner, with a very sad look in his eyes… It was as if he was saying these words of love to a lover he would never see.

Could it be that Yuuri-sama lost her lover, Amira-san, in that battle? He isn’t interested in women because he wholeheartedly loved her, is he?”

“… Apparently, the dots are connected.”

Ou Ura no KamenKing’s Masquerade murmured as if he was convinced about the situation.

“If so, he is a true hero. He didn’t say anything to anyone, but protected us from the shadows.

I can’t believe he is the same person who can throw away all the popularity and honor he has gained for the sake of others. He is truly a hero. “

“Uu~ … It is so pitiful…”

As if to cheer up the sobbing Leia, the spy man under the direct control of the king gently touched her shoulder.

“All you have to do is probed him. Will you do it?”

“Yes… I understand… I’ll do it…”

With determination, Leia raised her cry face.

“Although now she is deceased, I’ll do it for the sake of Amira-san!!”

.

.

Aah, a newly released book Amira-chan, is pretty cute too, Chuchu~.

As I lay in bed at home, I was smiling to myself as reading over the brave figure of Amira-chan, the heroine of “S-rank adventurer proposed to me.”

After all, being alone is the best, right? Alone, lying on the floor of my house, reading a newly released novel. The supreme space as if Amira-chan was actually manifested is here, now. My life is in this room.

But recently, I’m also addicted to “Master, a super beautiful girl from the sky! Hundreds of them!!” Isn’t it nice, beautiful girl. Could she fall from the sky? — The window above me shatters and a big, muscular man falls from the sky.

After avoiding the bloodied and scarred macho, I stared at the beautiful red-haired girl who had opened the door and walked in.

“You are Yuuri Alchiffon.”

She pointed her thumb outward.

“Outside, come out.

I challenge you to a duel. “

Instead of a duel, why don’t we get married?
