I was also taken aback by the sudden change in attitude.

‘I thought it would work to some extent, but… Is this enough?’

However, unlike Duke Ethlon, the Demon Wolf behind him did not come over easily.

“Wait. Do you believe me right now?”

“Well? Are you saying you don’t believe what Diablo-sama’s son is saying?”

“No, so the fact that I am Diablo-sama’s son could be a lie.”

“ah!”

Ethlon bursts out exclamation.

It looked like he had made a surprising discovery.

Looking at it, I clicked my tongue inwardly.

‘Something… Doesn’t he seem a bit lacking?’

Actions uncharacteristic of a leader ruling a clan.

During the battle, it was obviously full of weight, but now it seemed infinitely light.

“I will talk in your place, so please stay back, Duke.”

“I get it.”

Words that might sound a bit rude.

However, Duke Ethlon quietly backed away.

That’s how much trust he had in Demon Wolf.

“Now then, the self-proclaimed son of Diablo-sama. Shall we continue the conversation?”

“Who are you?”

“My name is Kellyn Craig. Officially, I’m in charge of the chief wizard of the Duchy. Personally… He is the younger brother of the duke.”

The reason why he was able to say rude things to his clan’s duke.

It was because they were brothers.

“Nice to meet you.”

“I am not very happy. Now, let me ask you. Are you Diablo-sama’s son?”

“you’re right.”

“Hoo. If that’s true, then we’re doing a huge disservice. By the way.”

Kelyn said with a cold expression on her face.

“How are you going to prove that?”

“That I… .”

I tried to say something, but Kelly’s words came first.

“Ah, Diablo-sama is an impressive person with fiery red hair. Those who have seen it once will have a hard time forgetting that strong impression. It happens that your hair is the same color as well.”

“you’re right.”

Kellyn waved a finger and smiled.

“But that can’t be proof. Similar hair colors abound in this Demon Realm. And if you want to change the color, you can change it as much as you like. So that can’t be proof.”

“okay. If so, can I prove it by directly communicating with the demon king?”

“Ohh?”

There was a difference in Kellyn’s eyes.

“That’s a sure way.”

“then… .”

“But I cannot communicate.”

“?”

Kellyn caressing her chin with a relaxed expression.

“What if you are trying to communicate with the other side, not the demon castle? It was a lie to say that he was Diablo-sama’s son, and it would be difficult for us if the purpose was to inform the current situation.”

What, this baby?

I don’t know what to say.

“actually… I was a little shaken by your words. Usually, when you impersonate someone, if you impersonate a great and famous being, there are cases where you don’t doubt it. ‘Can I pretend to be such a great being?’ From the thought of doing it.”

Now, it seemed that Kellyn had already concluded that my words were false.

“But when I think about it, it is strange. A person about the size of Diablo’s son causes an accident in our territory? Did you sneak in too? Doesn’t it look strange to anyone?”

“that… .”

It’s definitely weird.

It would have been hard to believe if I were in Kelly’s shoes.

“Then how are you going to prove it?”

“I met Diablo-sama by chance. Of course, it was a long distance, and we didn’t have a conversation or anything.”

“So?”

“Speaking of Diablo-sama’s characteristic, it was the fiery red magic. The color and the charismatic aura that can be clearly felt even from a distance. If you were really his son, you would have learned the same evil force and could show the same magic.”

In a word, it was a story about proving yourself through Magi.

Rather welcome from my point of view.

I wonder if there is another simpler way to prove it.

“All right.”

His body hasn’t fully recovered yet, but it wasn’t difficult to show his demonic energy.

I slowly got up.

And through the Diablic Force, he raised his demonic energy.

Fire.

Dark magic that burns like a flame.

Magi in red began to show off her presence in all directions.

“I think this should have been proven.”

“… .”

Cracks formed on Kelly’s expressionless face.

Shaking eyes and slowly opening mouth.

And a scream came out of his mouth.

“I’m sorry!”

Like the Duke of Ethlon from earlier, Kellyn bowed her head.

Ethlon, who was watching from behind, also came to the side and bowed her head.

These people, too, are not normal.

“Hey, are you sure?”

“you’re right. It’s the same as Diablo’s Magi that I saw. The power felt is a bit different, but it’s the same kind of magic. It’s not the kind of thing that can be imitated.”

“Look at that. I’m right.”

“Ah, be quiet. Don’t you know you have to be certain of everything?”

The two are arguing while lying face down on the floor.

Looking at it, it seemed like we got along well.

“Then can you please release me from here?”

“of course.”

Ethlon hurriedly stood up.

“The key, the key… .”

“There’s a soldier out there with it.”

“Right. Hey!”

Quadduk.

Ethlon violently tearing open the prison door with both hands.

I am in awe of that ignorance.

“Come on out.”

The dignified attitude from before has gone, and now the two have become gentle sheep, no, wolves.

I got out of jail with them.

* * *

Duke Ethlon’s office.

If it was a duke, he was the head of a territory.

Of course, it was normal for the place where he stayed to be decorated with various ornaments.

However.

‘What’s so empty?’

Ethlon’s room was very empty except for a few essential things.

The wideness of such a subject was also very wide, which further increased the feeling of emptiness.

Kelyn sighed as if she had noticed my feelings.

“… sorry. Our duke is very far from culture. I do most of the payment-related things… .”

“Ugh, in the office, my personal training is enough.”

“… It should be done in the gym, not the office… .”

If we leave it alone, it seems that we will continue to fight like that, so I decided to bring up the story first.

“it’s okay. First, I want to talk a little bit.”

“Sure. But before that, I have a few questions.”

“What is.”

Kelly’s gaze moved behind me.

There, Serenia was seated with a cold face.

“What are you looking at?”

sharp reaction.

In response, Kelly’s face hardened.

“I dare say, where is this place?”

“It’s a dirty wolf pen. Where are you?”

“cheeky!”

A furious Kellyn stood up.

I was afraid there would be a fight, but luckily it didn’t happen.

“Whoa… I’ll be patient for now. What I want to ask is why you are traveling with that succubus.”

“Oh, you mean that?”

I slightly turned my gaze back.

As soon as our eyes met, Serenia turned her head away.

“He is my slave.”

Serenia turned her head away in a fit of rage, but she didn’t open her mouth recklessly.

If you’ve noticed, you’d know that it’s better to keep quiet for now.

“You were a slave. no wonder… Why did you go around with a succubus like that?”

Kellyn nodded in agreement with my words.

Actually, that’s not entirely incorrect.

Serenia, who already had a strong weakness for me, had to do everything I told her to do.

“Then I will tell you why I am here. Do you know about the jewel called Red Wolf’s Tooth?”

“The teeth of the red wolf… .”

Kellyn tilted her head at my words.

His gaze turned to Ethlon.

“Does the Duke know?”

“Ah, did you see that I’m interested in jewelry or something?”

“I guess so. I’m sure you’ve heard of it, but… .”

Kellyn frowned and tried to think of something.

“Red wolf teeth, red wolf teeth… .”

Kelyn, who was worried, finally took out a notebook from her pocket and started to rummage through it.

The conclusion that Kellyn finally came to after taking out the magic marble and investigating various things.

“I don’t know.”

A very simple ending for such a fuss.

When this happened, I was rather embarrassed.

It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that I don’t know.

He didn’t seem to know the exact existence of it either.

“I heard you were in the office.”

If Rian wasn’t lying, the jewel must have been in here.

‘It was in a state of fascination, so there’s no possibility of it being false.’

If I didn’t know, I would have said I didn’t know.

However, since I mentioned the office, it must be normal.

“I wonder if I can find it if I look for it a little more.”

At my words, Kellyn scratched her cheek and said,

“In the past, the duke caused a big explosion while training here. I remember cleaning things up inside at that time. It is possible that it was moved somewhere at that time.”

“Should I check with the butler one more time?”

“To Nelson? What… It wouldn’t be bad though. It probably won’t change anything.”

“But just in case you don’t know.”

“All right. I give you instructions. Oh, I’m going to issue a wanted order to the entire Duchy.”

Somehow it feels like things are getting bigger than I thought.

I was just trying to get the jewels and finish it, but the situation where the entire Duchy was searched.

Anyway, I’m glad you said you’d find it on your own.

But there were also people who didn’t think so.

“Aren’t you lying?”

Serenia whispered with her eyes narrowed.

I scolded Serenia lightly.

“Stay back.”

“no! It is a precious jewel. I don’t want to hand it over, so I might do that.”

“If that were the case, I would have said no from the beginning. not don’t know And you only know that it is a gem, but you do not know whether it is precious or not, and what it looks like.”

“Yeah… Because the quest only told me to find the jewel.”

“If the jewel wasn’t here, I wouldn’t have given you such a quest. It’s great to see them stepping up.”

“Sheesh! I see.”

Serenia pouted and retreated.

Then he sat down on a chair and started looking around the room.

“It’s really shabby.”

Compared to his luxuriously decorated room, there was no answer.

As Serenia looked around, something caught her eye.

“uh?”

Serenia tilted her head and I spoke again.

“excuse me.”

“Don’t talk nonsense and stay calm.”

“No, not that, that.”

“What do you mean?”

“Could it be that?”

Serenia extended her finger and pointed somewhere.

“Well?”

A small wolf statue that is the only one in this empty office.

The statue in the form of a demon wolf seemed nothing special.

However, if there is one feature that stands out.

‘Your teeth are red?’

I moved a little closer and inspected the statue.

In the black statue, only the teeth were glowing red.

“Does this look right?”

“Hmm. It seems so.”

Red wolf’s teeth.

I thought it was just a figurative expression, but I thought it was real teeth.

I said, looking at Kellyn busily preparing something from behind.

“I think I found a jewel.”

“Please wait a moment. I’ll give you all the land… Yes?”

“Look here.”

Kellyn hurriedly ran at my words.

His gaze turned to the statue.

“uh? It’s real.”

Kellyn looked a bit flustered.

Who would have guessed that a gem was hidden in a little statue no one would care about.

“Then may I take the jewel?”

“Sure. But before that.”

Kelly said with a meaningful smile.

“In lieu of giving jewels, I have a favor.”

“Tell me.”

“I want you to give me a chance to talk with Diablo-sama.”

Is this a bit variable?
