Chapter 20: 20
By the time we returned to the road, which was completely shrouded in the darkness of the night, and arrived at Lilia-san’s mansion, it was almost midnight already .
[Welcome back, Miyama-sama . ]
[Lunamaria-san . Sorry, I’m late . ]
[No, My Lady and the others have just returned a short while ago, so it’s not that you’re that late . ]
I apologized to Lunamaria-san, who probably heard the sound of the carriage at the door and came out to greet me, even though it’s already this late, but I was told that Lilia-san and the others had also coincidentally just returned a few minutes ago .
[How was the dinner party?]
[Yeah, I had a lot of fun . ]
[I’m glad to hear that . My Lady has been worried about you a lot so……]
We continued down the hallway while lightly bantering with each other .
Hmmm . It kind of feels strange, but comparing the two of them once again, I feel that the atmosphere between Ein-san and Lunamaria-san is different . Ein-san has polished her abilities to the limits, not having any gaps in her work while on the other hand, Lunamaria-san is a little more laidback, how should I say this, she’s treating being a maid as work . They’re both maids but they have different atmospheres—- or perhaps, is it just Ein-san that’s strange……?

As I was thinking about this, I was led to the dining room, and after greeting back Lilia-san and the others, we had tea together and talked about what had happened to each of us .
[……I see, a demon that used to be an otherworlder huh…… That’s a really rare instance . ]
[Yes . I’ve heard that there were some of those who hold the role of Hero who wanted to live here permanently in the past . but for one to have reincarnated as a demon……]
[Or rather, in the first place, is there even a way to reincarnate a human into a demon?]
In the middle of our conversation, as expected, Lilia-san and the others were particularly interested in the story of Neun-san, a former Japanese .
Neun-san said she was reincarnated with Kuro’s power as if it’s normal, so I had only been aware that it was actually possible for such a thing to happen, but both Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san had surprised looks on their faces .
[I can’t say that there isn’t a way . In fact, there was a human with the same description as Kaito-san described, but she has lived hundreds of years before . Among the high-level demons who have lived for so many years, there are many who have their own secret techniques that are still unknown to us humans . ]
[However, to have such power that’s able to change not only their lifespan, but also their original race…… The high-ranking demon that Miyama-sama got to know must have been at least an “Earl-rank”…… It can even be a “Duke-rank” high-ranking demon . ]
[That rank stuff you’re talking about, is that the ranking between the demons?]
[Yes, the Demon Realm doesn’t have the same aristocracy and ranking system as the Human Realm, but it’s not uncommon for a single powerful demon to be compared with a title to rank their strength for the sake of convenience . The strength of an Earl-rank demon alone would be enough to rival a country . They’re also equal or more powerful than high-ranking gods in the God Realm . There are only a handful of the Duke-ranks in the vast Demon Realm . At the very least, they aren’t ones who you can just meet even if you want to . ]

There’s no doubt the Kuro is a high-ranking demon with tremendous power, but it seems that she’s even more extraordinary than I’d imagined .
However, if she’s that extraordinary, I don’t think it would be strange if Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san was able to recognize her name, is what I thought but……
[……Ah, I hadn’t told Kaito-san and the others yet, but a lot of high-level demons often use Information Concealment Magic regularly, so a third party wouldn’t be able to get information about them . ]
[Eh? What does that mean?]
[Using our earlier conversation as an example, Kaito-kun, even if you normally tell us the name and stuff like that about the high-ranking demon, that magic would prevent us from hearing about it . We would be able to hear it if we’re aware of each other’s existence, but we won’t be able to get any information from Kaito-san . ]
[From Miyama-san’s story earlier, the only ones we’ve been able to hear are Neun-sama, Acht-sama, and Razelia-sama . As for the other people you mentioned, we didn’t hear about how many they are, their appearance, or the contents of your conversations . ]
[I- Is that so……]
Information Concealment Magic…… I see, speaking of which, Acht told me that high-ranking demons are basically lone wolves who often make their subordinates move in their stead and don’t move themselves, and Kuro only appears when I’m alone .
Indeed, if we assume that Kuro is a high-ranking demon higher than or equal to Earl-rank, she would be an existence that has the power to rival the country’s war potential alone, and if she were walking around town, it might cause a commotion .
