I wasn't so sure, but I was wondering if I was violating some kind of taboo. So I tried to convey these speculations to Marito, who was a resident of this world and had a good understanding of it.
As a result, the appearance of the Colorless Demon King was the answer to how this world works.
"I didn't know you were not good at heights. Next time I call you, I'll do it in the sky.
What do you have against me? You got something against me? Well, that doesn't mean I don't recommend you do things people don't like. You want to be like me?
Okay. That's a good one. I don't want to be treated like one of you.
I could have continued the story in the sky, but someone with a fear of heights was calling for me to get down, so I had no choice but to move. We are currently in the throne room of Garne Castle in the virtual world.
"Well... If you want to know more, you'll have to eliminate it as a role. ......
It's not your jurisdiction, is it? I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
...... Well... If you know that much, I'll let you off as long as you don't tell anyone.
I'm not sure what to make of this. In order for him to become someone's enemy, he would have to violate the taboo set by Seiya Yukura or take hostile action from our side.
The fact that the interpretation of hostile action seems ambiguous suggests that a very rough contract magic was made. He seems to be searching in his own way, but after all, it's not every day that someone violates a taboo, and there are few people who know about the existence of the Colorless Demon King.
"What? Aren't the taboos set by Yugra?
"Oh, I don't know how to explain it. Can you explain it to me instead? I'll let you off the hook for a little while.
I'm not sure that's a good idea. ...... That voice is mechanically pronounced, but the original voice belongs to a woman. I'm not sure what to make of this. I didn't understand why Shigeya Yukura would go to the trouble of borrowing a third person's voice. Besides, there was no mention of the sea in the list that the Colorless Demon King had given me before.
The list of contraindications set forth by Seiya Yukura, if realized as magic, would allow for the development of abnormal civilizations and inhumane acts. He must have judged that the creation of nuclear or bio-weapons would be inadvisable.
"But, that voice you just heard was a warning to those who violate the taboo, right?
I'm sure there was a system in place to monitor abstinence before Seiya Yukura came to this world. He took that system and tried to monitor his own taboos as well. The contraindications about the sea were probably created by other people from other worlds. They probably applied it to a system that interferes with the ability to learn Japanese.
That's about it.
Is there land beyond the ocean?
God does not allow us to go beyond the sea. I don't think I can understand the thoughts of God, but I can at least guess the intent of the action.
If there is nothing at the end of the sea, he will not do anything to take away our interest in it. That is why there are continents beyond the sea. A continent that's inhabited, just like this one.
That's right. That's what Yugra said. But he also said it's another world.
Another world. ......?
Your homeland is one world on one planet. But this planet is a complete world, continent by continent. You are not allowed to cross the oceans and interact with the civilizations beyond. That's when the real gods will punish you, not me.
"So that's why Yugra was killed by the gods for dabbling in space-time magic?
The colorless Demon Lord nodded. There are other continents in this world, but they are forbidden by the gods to interfere with each other.
Space-time magic is magic that interferes with time. If that is the case, then there is a great possibility that an event like a time paradox could occur. In that case, is it judged that there is a risk that the other continents will be affected in some way?
No, in the first place, even if we cannot cross the ocean, we are still connected in space. If that is the case, then time is also connected to the other continents, and interference with time may be forbidden.
There are other reasons, but I haven't heard of them. I've heard there are other reasons, but I haven't heard of them because we're not built to be interested in other continents.
"...... It's hard to believe, but I can't get the story into my head as well as the ocean. I think I'm going to lose interest in this within a few days.
Marito seemed to be offended by the discomfort. In the teachings of Yugoslavia, God was considered to exist, but there was no indication that he was directly interfering with them.
Hmmm. ...... Well, it's not harmful, so that's good, isn't it? I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I'm sure you're not the only one.
You don't understand the gravity of the situation. ...... No, that's enough. I feel like I'm in a dream, debating a theory that can't possibly exist.
That's all right. The mistresses are the inhabitants of this world. There's no need to challenge a god. What did you want to do with this confirmation?
What did you want to do? ....... This fact is a major factor in changing the way we look at this world. But as far as I can tell, there's nothing we can do about it.
Even so, I wanted to confirm it, probably as a manifestation of the feeling I had in my heart that it was necessary for me to face this world.
Maybe I had some faint hopes. Maybe there was some hope that there might be a way to return to the other continent.
"What, you still want to go back?
My friend doesn't want to go back. He just doesn't want to give up the possibility. He's given his heart, his life, for all of us. I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to keep one or two things.
The longer we've known each other, the more Marito understands our deepest feelings. Honestly speaking, I don't have the option of leaving everyone behind. This is simply a matter of personal character. Because of my timid nature, I do not have the courage to abandon the world I have been living in. I can't help but take precautionary measures in order to preserve some kind of connection.
That's about it. Of course, I am aware that this attitude is making everyone uneasy. I'm sorry about the money, too.
"I'm sorry about the money, too. If I had to ask, I'd say that if you have something to offer the mistresses, you should ask for something in return .......
I'll think about it.
I would like to do that, but due to the difference in values between us, an equivalent exchange is not possible. I think I'm returning one for one, but people think I'm returning ten or twenty. Can't we do something about the difference in the weight of life-threatening words, really?
Well, it's subtle. Dimensional magic was originally the province of the gods. I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this.
But the Kuro Demon King summoned me to this world, right?
"The Kuro Sister was given all the magic arts by Yugra. The reason she's called the almighty black isn't because she has the power of omnipotence. It's because she can use the power given to all the Demon Lords, and even more. I'm sure you've been given everything but space-time magic.
I understand that Seiya Yukura has a special regard for the Kuro Demon King. I'm sure there have been times when I've wished I had the power of the Kuro Mad King.
But her mind was so worn out from the dream. The price to get that thing's cooperation was not something she could easily pay.
If there were otherworlders on other continents, then there might be others who had the same dimensional magic as Seiya Yukura. I thought it was much better than trying to convince the Kuro Demon King. ...... No, wait.
...... I have one question for you.
What's that? I'm not going to tell you that my sister is weak behind the ears or any other such information even if it kills me.
Is Yukura Seiya resurrected?
The expression of the colorless demon king froze. The air froze as everyone guessed by his reaction. I'm not sure what to make of this.
"......dowashitewakatano?
"That's the tone of voice you use when I mention your name, Shigeya Yukura. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
You're frankly creepy, you know that?
You're honestly creepy! Never mind that, Yugra's back! Where is he now and what is he doing?
He's in the Serendipity Realm. As for what he's doing, ...... well, yeah.
I've been told that there is no such thing as the Serendipity Realm. Each of the major powers has an adjacent demon world, but Trinh and Selende do not.
Trinh has been told that Kim tried to create a demon world at one time, but was interrupted by Seiya Yukura just as he was about to start. If the name "Trinh Magic World" is to be given, it should be given to the magic world that was never born.
There should be no magical world adjacent to the Serende magical world...... Serende.
I'm sure you've heard of it. The Great Powers were named by Yugra. Each of them was named after a demon lord. "Earthling, you know this, don't you?
"...... is the name of a gemstone.
Turquoise is turquoise, garnet is garnet, medjis is amethyst, cuama is aquamarine, trine is citrine, celandine is celandibite, each name taken from the name of the gem. Within the colors of each gem, there are indeed azure, scarlet, purple, blue, yellow, and black.
"A country is not the reason its counterpart, the demon world, was named. Because the demon world of the demon kings you created exists, its counterpart country was named so. Although it's not adjacent, the Serende demon world is definitely there. I'm sure you know where it is, if you are a golden girl.
In the south of the three magical realms of ...... Taze, Garne, and Mejis, there is a magical realm created by the Kuro. I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I'm sure you've heard of it.
I'm not sure what to make of that. It's not hard to understand why they don't know about it, since they haven't even told the humans about it.
In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a few things you can do.
What's more problematic is that Seiya Yukura is trying to do something in the Serende Demon World created by the Kuro Demon King. It's something that the Colorless Demon King would have a hard time saying.
"What is Seiya Yukura trying to do?
"Hey, Earthling. I have a suggestion, if you don't mind. I think you might be able to help .......
Iliad.
"Oh, that's the Iliad. It's a stupid power.
At least that's the short version. ......
"It's a stupid power.
"......
While he was talking to His Majesty, I was told to go check on Nora and her research. I can only use basic magic, so I didn't think it would be of much use to see what they were doing, but apparently they need people to help them build a large device.
So here I am, arranging the unfamiliar lump of metal according to Nora's instructions. It's certainly a lot of weight, and it would be hard work for a girl like Nora.
I'm grateful. Lord Russell, who usually helps me with my chores, was off today because his wife had a baby.
"Well, ...... you're closer than you think, Lord Russell, .......
One of the reasons given by the knights who disliked me before was that they disliked the similarly named Lord Russell. He concluded that there was nothing wrong with Lord Russell, and that I should not care about him.
It's a small world to think that I was part of the work he was involved in. However, since we are both knights, we must have met at some point.
Come to think of it, Lord Ratzel and Lord Russell look alike.
"Yes, they do. But I'm me.
It's natural. Only my brother would have a problem with my name.
His name, huh? When I first met him, he used a fake name, and now I can't know his name for a reason. I've gotten used to that kind of relationship.
In the first place, I don't think I've ever even mentioned his pseudonym to him. It seems that his ability to adjust his interpersonal distance has made him do so, but I'm beginning to think that it's not so bad if I just call him by a false name.
I don't think the Purple Demon King is thinking of using his power of cajoling to get his hands on him anymore. Even so, the fact that he doesn't reveal his name may be his own kindness to avoid giving him unnecessary temptation.
But speaking of names, the names of great demons like Duvraeus sometimes make me bite my tongue.
"Ilias, this is not something a member of Raggedy Dawg's squad can say.
...... That's true.
Familiarity is a scary thing. There are many knights with long names in the Ragdaw Corps, such as Karagyugjestar-Domitolkovkorn, Bolveraktian-Gofagovales, and many others. The only short names are mine and Sir Ragdor's, but I've gotten used to them.
In the first place, Nora's real name is much longer than mine. Can you say Iliad properly?
"Nodelictranlis-zakzarifluanschriton. Yes, I can.
Oh, do it. Even my master sometimes says it wrong.
Are you sure about that, Great Sage? No, I'll give myself credit for saying a name that even the Great Sage got wrong.
"I used to mispronounce the names of the Ragdolls, and they used to laugh at me. I practiced reading out their names at night and got the hang of it. The key is to find your own punctuation and pronounce it.
You're right, Nora's name would be easier to pronounce if it were broken into five parts.
The mention of Nora's name reminded me that he once told me that Duvvlayo had asked him what your name was.
"Is that so?
He said he wanted to make sure he remembered your name, because he was the one who would be studying magic with the Purple Demon King. He kept muttering something about wanting to remember his name because he was studying magic with the Purple Demon Lord.
I see. That's why he was able to say it so smoothly.
Nora looked very happy and began to hum. Was there anything in the conversation that would put her in such a good mood?
I know it's better than being mistaken, but is it really that great to be told your name without being mistaken?
"Of course I would be happy to know that the person I love is making an effort for me . There is something that fills you up when you think that your name is being called many times in the shadows.
"Oh, I see. ......
The Iliad is still in its infancy. Iliad is still inexperienced. As a thank you for helping out today, tell Purple to go a little easier on you.
Oh, thank you, .......
I don't know what is inexperienced, but I can sense from Nora that she is far more skilled than I am. But what is this vague sense of defeat? .......
Nora's help is over, and the time is good. I went to his Majesty's office to pick him up, and his Majesty and the Golden Demon King were just coming out of the room.
She said, "I'll go tell Purple and Blue about this. You take care of them.
All right.
But there's something strange. His Majesty and the Golden Demon King's expressions were grim, and more importantly, he was nowhere to be seen. If he's coming out of the room, it's not him and the Golden Demon King.
"Your Majesty! What's going on?
"Lord Ratzel. ....... You saved me the trouble of looking for you. I'm sorry, but could you gather up the Wolfe girls and Lakra?
That's fine, but ....... By the way, he's...
...... friend is not here now. He's gone to Yugra with the Colorless Demon King.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

I don't want to be treated like one of you.I could have continued the story in the sky, but someone with a fear of heights was calling for me to get down, so I had no choice but to move. We are currently in the throne room of Garne Castle in the virtual world."Well... If you want to know more, you'll have to eliminate it as a role. ......It's not your jurisdiction, is it? I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that....... Well... If you know that much, I'll let you off as long as you don't tell anyone.I'm not sure what to make of this. In order for him to become someone's enemy, he would have to violate the taboo set by Seiya Yukura or take hostile action from our side.The fact that the interpretation of hostile action seems ambiguous suggests that a very rough contract magic was made. He seems to be searching in his own way, but after all, it's not every day that someone violates a taboo, and there are few people who know about the existence of the Colorless Demon King."What? Aren't the taboos set by Yugra?"Oh, I don't know how to explain it. Can you explain it to me instead? I'll let you off the hook for a little while.I'm not sure that's a good idea. ...... That voice is mechanically pronounced, but the original voice belongs to a woman. I'm not sure what to make of this. I didn't understand why Shigeya Yukura would go to the trouble of borrowing a third person's voice. Besides, there was no mention of the sea in the list that the Colorless Demon King had given me before.The list of contraindications set forth by Seiya Yukura, if realized as magic, would allow for the development of abnormal civilizations and inhumane acts. He must have judged that the creation of nuclear or bio-weapons would be inadvisable."But, that voice you just heard was a warning to those who violate the taboo, right?I'm sure there was a system in place to monitor abstinence before Seiya Yukura came to this world. He took that system and tried to monitor his own taboos as well. The contraindications about the sea were probably created by other people from other worlds. They probably applied it to a system that interferes with the ability to learn Japanese.That's about it.Is there land beyond the ocean?God does not allow us to go beyond the sea. I don't think I can understand the thoughts of God, but I can at least guess the intent of the action.If there is nothing at the end of the sea, he will not do anything to take away our interest in it. That is why there are continents beyond the sea. A continent that's inhabited, just like this one.That's right. That's what Yugra said. But he also said it's another world.Another world. ......?Your homeland is one world on one planet. But this planet is a complete world, continent by continent. You are not allowed to cross the oceans and interact with the civilizations beyond. That's when the real gods will punish you, not me."So that's why Yugra was killed by the gods for dabbling in space-time magic?The colorless Demon Lord nodded. There are other continents in this world, but they are forbidden by the gods to interfere with each other.Space-time magic is magic that interferes with time. If that is the case, then there is a great possibility that an event like a time paradox could occur. In that case, is it judged that there is a risk that the other continents will be affected in some way?No, in the first place, even if we cannot cross the ocean, we are still connected in space. If that is the case, then time is also connected to the other continents, and interference with time may be forbidden.There are other reasons, but I haven't heard of them. I've heard there are other reasons, but I haven't heard of them because we're not built to be interested in other continents."...... It's hard to believe, but I can't get the story into my head as well as the ocean. I think I'm going to lose interest in this within a few days.Marito seemed to be offended by the discomfort. In the teachings of Yugoslavia, God was considered to exist, but there was no indication that he was directly interfering with them.Hmmm. ...... Well, it's not harmful, so that's good, isn't it? I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I'm sure you're not the only one.You don't understand the gravity of the situation. ...... No, that's enough. I feel like I'm in a dream, debating a theory that can't possibly exist.That's all right. The mistresses are the inhabitants of this world. There's no need to challenge a god. What did you want to do with this confirmation?What did you want to do? ....... This fact is a major factor in changing the way we look at this world. But as far as I can tell, there's nothing we can do about it.Even so, I wanted to confirm it, probably as a manifestation of the feeling I had in my heart that it was necessary for me to face this world.Maybe I had some faint hopes. Maybe there was some hope that there might be a way to return to the other continent."What, you still want to go back?My friend doesn't want to go back. He just doesn't want to give up the possibility. He's given his heart, his life, for all of us. I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to keep one or two things.The longer we've known each other, the more Marito understands our deepest feelings. Honestly speaking, I don't have the option of leaving everyone behind. This is simply a matter of personal character. Because of my timid nature, I do not have the courage to abandon the world I have been living in. I can't help but take precautionary measures in order to preserve some kind of connection.That's about it. Of course, I am aware that this attitude is making everyone uneasy. I'm sorry about the money, too."I'm sorry about the money, too. If I had to ask, I'd say that if you have something to offer the mistresses, you should ask for something in return .......I'll think about it.I would like to do that, but due to the difference in values between us, an equivalent exchange is not possible. I think I'm returning one for one, but people think I'm returning ten or twenty. Can't we do something about the difference in the weight of life-threatening words, really?Well, it's subtle. Dimensional magic was originally the province of the gods. I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this.But the Kuro Demon King summoned me to this world, right?"The Kuro Sister was given all the magic arts by Yugra. The reason she's called the almighty black isn't because she has the power of omnipotence. It's because she can use the power given to all the Demon Lords, and even more. I'm sure you've been given everything but space-time magic.I understand that Seiya Yukura has a special regard for the Kuro Demon King. I'm sure there have been times when I've wished I had the power of the Kuro Mad King.But her mind was so worn out from the dream. The price to get that thing's cooperation was not something she could easily pay.If there were otherworlders on other continents, then there might be others who had the same dimensional magic as Seiya Yukura. I thought it was much better than trying to convince the Kuro Demon King. ...... No, wait....... I have one question for you.What's that? I'm not going to tell you that my sister is weak behind the ears or any other such information even if it kills me.Is Yukura Seiya resurrected?The expression of the colorless demon king froze. The air froze as everyone guessed by his reaction. I'm not sure what to make of this."......dowashitewakatano?"That's the tone of voice you use when I mention your name, Shigeya Yukura. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.You're frankly creepy, you know that?You're honestly creepy! Never mind that, Yugra's back! Where is he now and what is he doing?He's in the Serendipity Realm. As for what he's doing, ...... well, yeah.I've been told that there is no such thing as the Serendipity Realm. Each of the major powers has an adjacent demon world, but Trinh and Selende do not.Trinh has been told that Kim tried to create a demon world at one time, but was interrupted by Seiya Yukura just as he was about to start. If the name "Trinh Magic World" is to be given, it should be given to the magic world that was never born.There should be no magical world adjacent to the Serende magical world...... Serende.I'm sure you've heard of it. The Great Powers were named by Yugra. Each of them was named after a demon lord. "Earthling, you know this, don't you?"...... is the name of a gemstone.Turquoise is turquoise, garnet is garnet, medjis is amethyst, cuama is aquamarine, trine is citrine, celandine is celandibite, each name taken from the name of the gem. Within the colors of each gem, there are indeed azure, scarlet, purple, blue, yellow, and black."A country is not the reason its counterpart, the demon world, was named. Because the demon world of the demon kings you created exists, its counterpart country was named so. Although it's not adjacent, the Serende demon world is definitely there. I'm sure you know where it is, if you are a golden girl.In the south of the three magical realms of ...... Taze, Garne, and Mejis, there is a magical realm created by the Kuro. I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I'm sure you've heard of it.I'm not sure what to make of that. It's not hard to understand why they don't know about it, since they haven't even told the humans about it.In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a few things you can do.What's more problematic is that Seiya Yukura is trying to do something in the Serende Demon World created by the Kuro Demon King. It's something that the Colorless Demon King would have a hard time saying."What is Seiya Yukura trying to do?"Hey, Earthling. I have a suggestion, if you don't mind. I think you might be able to help .......Iliad."Oh, that's the Iliad. It's a stupid power.At least that's the short version. ......"It's a stupid power."......While he was talking to His Majesty, I was told to go check on Nora and her research. I can only use basic magic, so I didn't think it would be of much use to see what they were doing, but apparently they need people to help them build a large device.So here I am, arranging the unfamiliar lump of metal according to Nora's instructions. It's certainly a lot of weight, and it would be hard work for a girl like Nora.I'm grateful. Lord Russell, who usually helps me with my chores, was off today because his wife had a baby."Well, ...... you're closer than you think, Lord Russell, .......One of the reasons given by the knights who disliked me before was that they disliked the similarly named Lord Russell. He concluded that there was nothing wrong with Lord Russell, and that I should not care about him.It's a small world to think that I was part of the work he was involved in. However, since we are both knights, we must have met at some point.Come to think of it, Lord Ratzel and Lord Russell look alike."Yes, they do. But I'm me.It's natural. Only my brother would have a problem with my name.His name, huh? When I first met him, he used a fake name, and now I can't know his name for a reason. I've gotten used to that kind of relationship.In the first place, I don't think I've ever even mentioned his pseudonym to him. It seems that his ability to adjust his interpersonal distance has made him do so, but I'm beginning to think that it's not so bad if I just call him by a false name.I don't think the Purple Demon King is thinking of using his power of cajoling to get his hands on him anymore. Even so, the fact that he doesn't reveal his name may be his own kindness to avoid giving him unnecessary temptation.But speaking of names, the names of great demons like Duvraeus sometimes make me bite my tongue."Ilias, this is not something a member of Raggedy Dawg's squad can say....... That's true.Familiarity is a scary thing. There are many knights with long names in the Ragdaw Corps, such as Karagyugjestar-Domitolkovkorn, Bolveraktian-Gofagovales, and many others. The only short names are mine and Sir Ragdor's, but I've gotten used to them.In the first place, Nora's real name is much longer than mine. Can you say Iliad properly?"Nodelictranlis-zakzarifluanschriton. Yes, I can.Oh, do it. Even my master sometimes says it wrong.Are you sure about that, Great Sage? No, I'll give myself credit for saying a name that even the Great Sage got wrong."I used to mispronounce the names of the Ragdolls, and they used to laugh at me. I practiced reading out their names at night and got the hang of it. The key is to find your own punctuation and pronounce it.You're right, Nora's name would be easier to pronounce if it were broken into five parts.The mention of Nora's name reminded me that he once told me that Duvvlayo had asked him what your name was."Is that so?He said he wanted to make sure he remembered your name, because he was the one who would be studying magic with the Purple Demon King. He kept muttering something about wanting to remember his name because he was studying magic with the Purple Demon Lord.I see. That's why he was able to say it so smoothly.Nora looked very happy and began to hum. Was there anything in the conversation that would put her in such a good mood?I know it's better than being mistaken, but is it really that great to be told your name without being mistaken?"Of course I would be happy to know that the person I love is making an effort for me . There is something that fills you up when you think that your name is being called many times in the shadows."Oh, I see. ......The Iliad is still in its infancy. Iliad is still inexperienced. As a thank you for helping out today, tell Purple to go a little easier on you.Oh, thank you, .......I don't know what is inexperienced, but I can sense from Nora that she is far more skilled than I am. But what is this vague sense of defeat? .......Nora's help is over, and the time is good. I went to his Majesty's office to pick him up, and his Majesty and the Golden Demon King were just coming out of the room.She said, "I'll go tell Purple and Blue about this. You take care of them.All right.But there's something strange. His Majesty and the Golden Demon King's expressions were grim, and more importantly, he was nowhere to be seen. If he's coming out of the room, it's not him and the Golden Demon King."Your Majesty! What's going on?"Lord Ratzel. ....... You saved me the trouble of looking for you. I'm sorry, but could you gather up the Wolfe girls and Lakra?That's fine, but ....... By the way, he's......... friend is not here now. He's gone to Yugra with the Colorless Demon King.
