"Lady Yinla~"

"Hello, Lady Yinla~"

"..."

Looking at the Hilder Ice Demons greeting each other on the Demon King's territory, Yinla nodded helplessly... It's true that about 70% of the lesser demons have followed the evolutionary path of the Ice Demons.

And this is more or less thanks to that guy Vera.

"Lord Yinla".

The Balrog greeted Yinla with these words, looking regretful as he apologized to her: "Sorry, I've evolved into a Balrog."

Is there any need for an apology?!

Yinla's lips twitched. Not knowing what expression to make, he looked at the 800-foot-tall (?) Baroque Flame Demon, patted its thigh, and said, "No, that's not true... I never thought there was any difference between you."

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, fire magic is always more useful than ice magic in this world... This is certainly true from the perspective of using power for forging, warming, and the like.

"Rumble rumble rumble~"

"Wow! It's shaking so much, it's going to fall apart."

"Haha, no, no! It's very sturdy!"

"..."

Then, Yinla saw a large group of goblins standing on a giant mech, shouting and pounding on the field used for crop rotation... Nearby, some dwarves were laughing.

Of course, you can also see mages of various races recording data... How should I put it, even though they are of different races, you can still tell at a glance whether they are mages or not.

However, among the orcs watching, only one was a mage, while the other two were clearly priests.

Yinla squinted at the planting mech, which was clearly powered by an automated wand and whose gears were mostly exposed.

The goblins seem to have truly embarked on the path of becoming mech overlords.

The plants that were grown seemed to be of uneven quality, making one doubt their ability to survive... but the rake in front of the mech, used for plowing, did a good job of loosening the soil.

"Boom! Boom!"

Under Yinla's watchful gaze, the rake in front of the mech clearly struck something resembling a large rock buried deep in the ground, producing a crisp sound. The mech then visibly overturned forward.

"Ah! It's going to fall!"

"Help! Help!"

Then, before Yinla could even offer any help, the mages' long-prepared shield immediately formed, protecting the mech that was about to tip over in mid-air and the goblins inside.

The mages then stopped paying attention to the goblins and mechs and began to discuss the problem noisily, just like they did in the Three Towers classroom, ignoring their instructor's lectures and discussing the problem loudly.

Moreover, apart from Kiara, the instructor of the combat-magic class (who can fight), everyone else is happy to do this.

"It seems the destructive power wasn't enough; we overlooked the fact that the geological conditions might be uneven."

"Add a detection spell before 'Savior'?"

"And then? Activate a destructive spell upon detecting a hard object? Using what?"

"Sunfire Burst!"

"...Bro, what's your major?"

"Red Magic!"

"What a waste of mana, whether for detecting or destroying spells."

"That's true..."

"..."

Seeing the younger students discussing the problem, and the goblins perched on the outer walls of the shield spell listening to the discussion, Yinra smiled and simply walked past...

If it were up to him, he felt that slightly adjusting the mecha's center of gravity would suffice... But who knows, maybe magic would be a better approach, so he'd leave that to the professionals.

As Ira was thinking this, she heard a suggestion from the goblin behind her—

"Goblin... it's probably because the front of the [Savior] is too heavy, so the back is also a bit heavier, which should make it less likely to tip over."

“That makes sense, Gob Gob.”

"..."

Reminded by the goblin, the mages exchanged bewildered glances, then clapped their hands:

"That makes sense, Goblin~"

"How did we end up with [goblin] too?"

"Ah, this..."

——————————

Following the directions given by Tikkap, Ira found Satanye and Sirina... However, there were quite a few familiar faces here; besides the two of them, many leaders were also present.

Moreover, two of the three demon gods of hell are... although they are three idiots.

And the three principals of the Three Towers... to be precise, the three former principals who successfully stepped down at the first Kings Conference are all here studying a huge castle.

And this castle—which should have been in Hell, the [Underground Demon King's Castle]—seems to have arrived in the main plane, and its original owner, [Hilder, the Ice Demon Queen], is standing aside watching everyone tinkering.

"Mr. Yinla~"

For some reason, even with so many people around, Satan Ye was the first to spot Yinla who was walking over... Yinla nodded and stood beside her, both looking at the underground Demon King's castle in front of them.

"Yo! Yinla! Big sister asked us to send over your former Demon King's castle. We'll be staying here for a while! Big sister will also come over to visit after she finishes her work!"

Looking at Diablo speaking so heartily, Illa glanced at her suspiciously, then couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Did Mephisto really say 'come to play'? Or is there something more serious?"

Diablo began to doubt himself after hearing what Imra said...

"They...they probably didn't say that, right?"

Wait, did the eldest sister say anything? Probably not... Did she... Did she?

"..."

Instead of addressing Diablo in the middle of the conversation, Yinla asked Satan Ye, who was standing nearby, "What is everyone looking at? What are Blackie and Lotia doing over there...?"

The moment Yinla uttered his question, he had already seen... the headless knight and the black knight rushing out of a passage in the underground Demon King's city like missiles.

"???"

That speed couldn't have been achieved by running itself, right?

Noticing Ira's confusion, Satan Ye chuckled, her tail slapping the ground happily as she said, "I don't really understand either, but Gandalf over there said that the underground city of the Demon King has many interesting spells, and he brought people to help analyze them."

Help? Or just steal my skills!

Yinla made this judgment... but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

"I already said! I'm not called Gandalf anymore! In the beginning, only Illa would call me that!"

"Gandalf (just kidding), the headmaster of the White Tower, called out helplessly. He stroked his beard, sighed, shook his head, and looked at Illa, asking, 'Have you finished your business with the gods?'"

This statement sounds like it could be misinterpreted.

"Well, I guess so..."
