The Demons and the United Empire are at war!
With the continuous war, wailing, and shouts of killing echoing through the sky!
This explosive news quickly swept across the entire continent!
Northern Lands.
Heiß Fortress, which was originally under complete martial law, prohibiting civilians and merchants from entering and exiting.
This human stronghold also had some restrictions lifted due to the temporary retreat of the army led by Solitär.
At this moment, some restrictions were lifted.
Allowing merchants and adventurers to start entering and exiting here.
On the one hand, it was to resupply materials.
On the other hand, it was to rely on adventurers to eliminate the nearby demons.
Otherwise, if they went to war with the Demons.
Wild demons are the best cannon fodder for the Demons.
"The Demons and the United Empire are at war?"
Frieren, who just entered the city and heard this news, had a somewhat silent expression.
"Didn't Yulian go to stop the war between the Demons and the Northern Lands?"
"How could this be..."
Fern was a little incredulous.
But then she suddenly came back to her senses with a little surprise.
So, is this the way to stop it?
Letting the Demons fight the United Empire means they won't have time to fight the Northern Lands???
"No, actually, is it possible that Mr. Yulian failed."
Stark thought with a heavy expression.
"Could it be that Mr. Yulian did not stop the actions of the Demons, and has already been...
"Considered a Demon traitor... and imprisoned."
Stark euphemistically changed 'killed' to 'imprisoned'.
After all, the bloodthirsty Demons would not think of letting someone go if they could kill them.
"No... it can't be..."
Fern's little face turned pale.
Because such a possibility also popped up in her heart.
Otherwise, the Demons wouldn't start a war!
"Don't worry, Fern..."
"Yulian will be fine."
Frieren gently shook her head.
She was clear about Yulian's strength.
Yulian, as an unknown Great Demon.
On the entire continent, even if Yulian encountered someone he couldn't defeat.
As long as he wanted to run, it would still be no problem.
Including running away.
And the situation is not necessarily as Stark said.
"I need to think about what exactly happened..."
Frieren gently hammered her little head with a look of despair.
Compared to Yulian failing to stop the Demons from starting a war.
Frieren felt it was more likely that Yulian instigated the war.
Otherwise, Frieren couldn't explain the purpose of Yulian's activities in various human countries for decades before.
Sightseeing?
Isn't that ridiculous!
Rescuing demons in the Northern Lands, the mysterious port in the Central Lands, the continuous wars in the Southern Lands...
Frieren's pretty little face couldn't help but sink after suddenly realizing.
＜(´⌯ ̫⌯`)＞
It seems...
On the surface, Yulian seemed quite good.
But as a Demon, he still did quite a few "bad things"!
He's just a double agent, right?
Frieren recalled with a serious look in her eyes.
Frieren was still clear about how easy she was to deceive.
So Frieren had to think about whether Yulian was a Demon traitor or a human traitor, or perhaps...
A double agent?
This word suddenly popped up in Frieren's mind.
When Yulian often added ingredients to the soup he made for her, he liked to hold a bottle or jar in each hand.
Going directly for a two-pronged approach.
He also liked to shout things like pangolin, double agent, here comes the chicken soup, and so on...
But after some thought.
Frieren thought.
Even if Yulian did some things that were unfavorable to humans.
Frieren still thought he was a good Demon.
After all, as a Demon, Yulian had already treated humans well enough.
"Mistress Frieren, how about this inn?"
Frieren was in a daze.
Unconsciously, they had walked quite far.
Fern stared at Frieren with her purple eyes.
This was the last inn on this street.
"Hmm, this place will do."
Frieren looked up and glanced.
Then she nodded.
After completing the check-in procedures.
They arrived at the room.
Only then did Fern start chatting with Frieren.
"Mistress Frieren, are you worried about Mr. Yulian?"
Worried?
Frieren touched her chest.
After a moment of stunned, she shook her head.
How could she be worried?
But if she wasn't worried.
Then why was she...
(Let's set two endings to satisfy the wishes of all the readers.)
"Indeed, although I know that with Mr. Yulian's strength, he will be fine."
"But I can't stop worrying about where Yulian is, what he is doing..."
"What happened, right."
Fern lowered her eyes.
It seemed like she was talking about Frieren.
But it also seemed like she was talking about herself.
"Fern..." Frieren's lips curved slightly.
Her soft call made Fern involuntarily look up.
And at this moment.
Frieren gently reached out and rubbed Fern's head.
"You are the one who is worried, right."
"However, since you are worried."
"We can just go and see."
"Mistress Frieren..."
Fern's cheeks turned red like flying.
Looking at Frieren, who was like a big sister in front of her.
She was shy and embarrassed.
But besides being shy.
Her originally somewhat uneasy heart unexpectedly quieted down.
"But where should we go to find Mr. Yulian?"
After calming down a little, Fern asked about Frieren's next plan.
But...
"I don't know either..."
＜=ω=＞
Frieren said awkwardly, pressing her lips together.
After all, she didn't know where Yulian would be.
That kid was incredibly aloof when he left.
He insisted on having a cliche farewell, like the separation scenes in the little books he usually wrote.
The kind of departure where he would say something like the world is boundless, and we will meet again if fate allows.
Now it's good.
Even if she was worried, she couldn't find him.
"Really, Mr. Yulian..."
Fern couldn't help but puff up her little face.
Her fists were clenched tightly.
How could he do something that makes people worry but can't find him!
"However..."
"Perhaps we can go to the Empire first."
Frieren looked at the window.
She looked out the window.
In the distant distance was the direction of the Imperial Capital of the United Empire.
"Go to the United Empire?"
Fern bit her pink fist and thought.
The original plan was to enter the Northern Plateau, pass through mountains and rivers, villages, and cities.
Finally, enter the Demon Realm and go to the Demon King's Castle to explore the resting place of souls.
But now, suddenly change course to the Imperial Capital of the United Empire?
"Is it because Mr. Yulian is there?"
Fern asked curiously.
Frieren smiled and shook her head.
"I don't know either."
"But if I had to say, perhaps it's the feeling here."
Frieren gently touched her chest.
Her eyes were smiling.
She actually believed Yulian's nonsense.
She believed in a feeling that appeared out of thin air, without any basis.
She believed in that ethereal fate...
"In that case, we might need to hurry."
Fern gently nodded.
She didn't question it.
Instead, she began to seriously calculate the journey ahead.
Because like Frieren.
Fern felt that the possibility of Yulian appearing in the United Empire was also very high.
However, in that case.
They would have to hurry from Heiß to the United Empire.
Even if they hurried as fast as possible.
It would probably take a lot of time...
