『B, by the way Cetus-sama….why did the Lizardmen decided to create such a complicated trap at the entrance of the dungeon?』 Pillows asked Cetus-sama as she was curious.

That is true, I was also wondering about that as well.

『Unfortunately, I do not know about that as well. I’m the Divine Beast who controls the marine life, so I do not have any jurisdiction for the Lizardmen. Instead of me….the one who they are under is Hel, should I ask Hel for you?』

『Yes, if it is possible….』

『Honestly, it’s better to just listen from Fenrir.』

『…..That Hel, would never raise his head when it comes to Fenrir.』

『…..Fufu, I see. So Hel has accepted you? Well then, we the 10 pillars of the Divine Beast shall cooperate with Myne as much as we can!』

『Aisha….Alright, I’ve contacted with Hel. From what he has said, the people who is controlling the Demons…basically the Demon King Cayenne is trying to claim Hel.

The Divine Beasts prefer to take on the Hume’s race and cooperate with them….Which means we prefer to cooperate with Myne if possible.

So, Cayenne wanted to be friends with Hel….Hel accepted it, and offered Cayenne new Lizardmen and Antica’s to work for. Which means that the Lizardmen are under Cayenne’s instructions.

I don’t know what’s happening, but apparently Cayenne knew that you girls will be coming, so he tried to prevent you from coming.』

『…..Cetus-sama, what is an Antica?』

『They are ant-type monsters that live in the desert.』

『They are nasty creatures that has a hard shell all over their body, and they exhale a strong acid solution. So be careful if you’re trying to fight them.』

『So Hel-sama is working with the Demon King!? Isn’t that a huge deal? When we talk about monsters, there are only Orcs, Kobald, and Goblins….but now the army has increased in numbers?

At worst, we might have to confront with Hel-sama….? Plus, hearing about you describing the Antica, it sounds really troublesome….It reminded me of the Scorpion monsters that I fought a long time ago. But I think Myne-kun might not have a hard time dealing with theml…..』

….If it’s Myne-kun, with his new wide range magic, and the new other wordly weapons, I’m sure even if a horde of Demon army came, he would be able to repel.

Augusta Kingdom is safe because of Myne and the King…..but for the other countries, it might be different.

As of right now, the Kingdom of Ritz and Laurasia are under the Demon’s attack.

At some point, these two countries may follow the same path as Oose Kingdom, which had been fallen long ago.

There will surely be a lot of citizens who will be unhappy, especially Princess Luka…

Hence why, we the Eternal Sunflower, must help defeat the demon armies even if not much.

『…..M-Myne-kun, do you have some time now? I have just heard about an important news from Cetus-sama.』

『Alright Aisha, what would that be?』

『Ehm…..It seems like Hel-sama and the Demon King Cayenne is working together. And now, they have the Lizardmen and Antica as their new army.』

◆◇◆◇◆

After hearing Aisha about the news, it is indeed something important.

I was really surprised with the sudden change of events. With the two kingdoms already having a hard time fighting off against the demons, now they have new armies?

But I heard that Laurasia Kingdom is trying to summon some heroes, so we have to help Ritz Kingdom as much as possible….It is Sasha and Stasha Lion’s country after all..

『This is indeed surprising, I will inform Sylphy about this now.』
