「Nn, ahh……what is it?」

「There’s one thing I wanna confirm.」

Rokuna put up her index finger, and thrust it at Borkio.

「If you guys don’t return……what kind of effects will happen?」

「That, is……」

Being asked that, Borkio caressed his beard as if pondering about it.

After doing that for a short while, he returned his gaze to Rokuna.

「……Well, various possibilities’ll be suspect.」

「That’s true.」

「What do you mean by that?」

Hearing Borkio and Rokuna’s conversation, Vermudol, making a puzzled face, joined in.

「It’s simple. A country’s ship that hasn’t come back despite having gone down a sea route that should have been safe. The place that ship departed from is a country that advocated the Demi-Human rejection argument. So what is the possibility that will be suspect……?」

「An attack by the St. Altlis Kingdom……huh.」

「That’s how it is.」

Rokuna nodded at the comment that Sancreed, who had kept quiet until now, had muttered.

「No one is able to prove what the truth of what happened is after all. Besides, even if the ship is repaired, and safely passes through the 『Sea of Farthest Ends』. It’ll be a story of how they would explain the details.」

「Is there some sort of problem?」

「Jeez, Ver-cchi. Have you forgotten who we areー?」

Rokuna recited a sentence that appeared in a book that Vermudol had brought back from mankind’s territory.

「『Evil Mazoku smeared with hatred cover the lands. They attack, steal, kill, invade, and rape villages. Those actions have no meaning to them, and are simply done because they all have an unlimited hatred towards mankind that can only be cure through death. Their eyes dyed in joy simply represent their wickedness, and display their evil meaning to the world.』」

「The Hero Legend huh……」

Rokuna nodded at the mutter that Vermudol made sounding disgusted.

「Exactly. We are wicked Mazoku, you knowー? To have reached the stronghold of guys like us and be saved by us, just who would believe that.」

「But, if they were shown the truth, they would believe it, right?」

「Naive, Ver-cchi, that’s naiveー.」

Rokuna shook her index finger, and turned her chest away.

「I’m sure that mankind will think of things like this. There is no mistake that the Mazoku have some sort of ulterior motive. No, more than that. The fact that the Mazoku have made that much of a comeback is a problem. They need to be dealt with.」

「Uu……」

Maybe because something had come to his mind, Borkio made a small nod.

After Sancreed looked at that Borkio with a sidelong glance, he returned his gaze back to Rokuna.

「In that case, I’m sure that the world will move on a grand scale.」

「They won’t have the leisure to be fighting amongst their fellow mankind……is it?」

Rokuna nodded at Vermudol’s words.

Right, that is surely how it would turn out.

With the threat of Mazoku and the new Demon King before them, mankind will temporarily unite.

And then, there was no mistake that the tension and dissatisfaction that had swelled in between the races of mankind would be vented towards the 「absolute evil」 known as Mazoku.

In that case, there was the possibility that the stupid pretentious statement said to have been for the sake of peace known as the Demi-Human rejection argument would be blown away.

At the very least, it should turn into enough of a “fact” to postpone the problem.
