Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

The next day, Fujimaru Ritsuka and his three companions, as well as Black Rabbit, Leticia, and Jin, came to the Thousand Eyes store.

"Black Rabbit——!"

"Eaaah?!"

Black Rabbit was attacked again by Bai Yasha who rushed out, and then everyone was brought into the store by Bai Yasha again under the disgusted gaze of the female clerk.

Since Ren from the community was also there, the speech this time was given to him.

So Ren said nervously:

"Haku, Lord Shiroyasha, what do you want from us this time?"

Bai Yasha nodded slightly, his expression became more serious, and asked:

"I heard that you guys made a declaration to [Defeat the Demon King] and are willing to take on all business related to the Demon King. Is this true?"

Ren nodded affirmatively:

"Yes, since our name and flag have been taken away, if we want to quickly make our community known, we think this is the best way."

In response to Ren's answer, Bai Yasha's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked in a deep voice:

"You should be aware of the risks, right? Such rumors will also attract the Demon King. Is this okay?"

Ren nodded heavily and replied with a serious expression:

"Yes! We are mentally prepared."

"There is no other way to take back the flag and name of our community. Even if doing so may attract unrelated demon kings, we are prepared for it!"

"..."

Shiroyasha closed his eyes, seemingly contemplating Ren's statement.

After meditating for a while, she opened her eyes again and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Okay. Since this is the decision you made after careful consideration, if I say anything more, it would be meddling in your affairs."

This statement was considered an acknowledgement of their strategy, and Ren smiled with relief, as if he had passed an exam.

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave him a thumbs up to show encouragement, then looked at Baiyasha and asked:

"So Baiyasha, what is the purpose of calling us here today?"

"Yeah, that's right. Let's get to the point."

Bai Yasha put away the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile:

"Since your community has put forward the slogan of 'Defeat the Demon King', then I happen to have a case concerning the 'Demon King' that I would like to entrust to you."

"What do you think, Mr. Ren?"

"!"

Everyone was immediately perked up, and their expressions were somewhat enlightened. No wonder Bai Yasha asked those questions just now, it turned out that the main topic was buried here.

Demon King, the natural disaster that is spreading in the small garden, did you expect to encounter it so soon?

Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression became a little more serious.

Since the demon king has appeared, it means that somewhere will soon be destroyed like [No Name], right?

The problem children looked eager to try, while a hint of worry flashed in Black Rabbit's eyes.

But no matter what, Ren swallowed his saliva and nodded vigorously:

"No, no problem! We are happy to accept the commission."

So Bai Yasha began to introduce the situation to everyone.

As expected, the target location that the Demon King was going to attack this time was the Fire Dragon Birth Festival that was about to be held in the North District.

Since the North District is a land where elves, ghosts, and a powerful race called demons coexist, the public security is unstable.

Because of this, the North District has several class rulers.

The community that was predicted to be attacked by the Demon King this time, [Salamandra (Fire Salamander)], is one of them.

"Do you know? The community [Salamandra] that established its base in the five-digit 54545 outer gate is now about to undergo a generational change."

"what?"

"I heard that he retired due to illness. That's right, as a sub-dragon, the predecessor is indeed old. Anyway, this grand festival is the birth ceremony of the new class ruler, the [Fire Dragon]."

"Aaron?!"

Kasukabe Yō's eyes sparkled instantly, but Ren beside him lowered his eyes sadly. Everyone then realized that their community seemed to have had a good relationship with Salamandra in the past.

Then Ren asked:

"So, who is the leader now? It must be the eldest daughter, Lady Sarah, right?"

Bai Yasha shook his head and said:

"No, the leader who inherited the name of the Fire Dragon is Shandora."

"…Eh? Sandra?"

Ren was stunned for a moment and said in surprise:

"But she's just eleven years old, like me?!"

"Aren't you the same, little master? You have become the leader of our community, right?"

“That’s the case, but…!”

"You seem to care so much, could it be that the other person is your girlfriend?"

"certainly not!!!"

The problem children suddenly start teasing Ren, and Shiroyasha shakes his head and laughs when he sees this, and then continues his explanation after the situation calms down a bit.

It is indeed as Ren said, because Sandra is still young, this birth festival will be held together with Bai Yasha, the class ruler of the East District.

As for why he didn't look for rulers of other classes in the same area, Bai Yasha didn't say it explicitly, but everyone could more or less guess some of the reasons.

Although they are both class rulers, they manage the same area, so they are more or less competitors, right?

All in all, it's a rather narrow-minded view, and seems to be no different from that of human rulers.

but--

Even when a serious incident like the [Demon King Attack] occurred, the rulers of other classes in the North District were still unwilling to cooperate. I'm afraid the problem is far more complicated than they thought.

"Well, let's get back to the topic of the Demon King."

Bai Yasha clapped his hands, interrupting everyone's thoughts, and continued speaking.

The reason why she knew in advance that the Demon King would attack the Fire Dragon Birthday Festival was because an officer in her "Thousand Eyes" who could provide "Future Intelligence" as a gift gave her a gift for this Birthday Festival.

Although this is not a gift that can make people happy.

"In short, all we know is that there will be a [Demon King Attack], but we don't know the time of the attack, the identity of the Demon King, etc."

"But don't worry too much. All you need to do is stay with Shandora on the day of the festival to deal with any emergencies that may occur at any time."

"As for the Demon King——"

Baiyasha opened his fan, puffed out his chest, and laughed confidently:

"Of course, I, the ruler of the strongest class, Master Shiroyasha, will deal with it!"

But upon hearing this, Izayoi Sakamaki said unhappily:

"Tsk. They said it was related to the Demon King, but in the end they just asked us to be bodyguards? Can't [Salamandra] spare the manpower to protect its own leader?"

"Of course it won't go this far, I just want to add another insurance measure. After all, you are a community that I am very optimistic about!"

Baiyasha laughed playfully, but it did nothing to comfort him.

But at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly raised his hand and said:

"Shiroyasha, I want to ask a question."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes instantly gathered around him, and Bai Yasha nodded and said:

"What's wrong? Please tell me."

"that,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his cheek and said:

"I was thinking, if the Demon King attacks the festival knowing that you, Shiroyasha, are present, then it would be better to assume that the other party has a method specifically targeting you, right?"

"——!!!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's remarks woke Shiroyasha from his dream. His expression immediately changed and became serious.

"indeed……"

Meanwhile, Izayoi Sakamaki said jokingly:

"In that case, it's our turn to perform, right?"
