The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~-Chapter 171 - Its 3 AM

“Yeah. That’s the plan.”

“I thought so when you had that demon named Merell draw a map…”

Well, it’s not hard to figure out.

“Yuuma, are you planning to go to the Magic Continent?”

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Annie frowned as she asked.

“Yeah. I don’t know what kind of plans Merell and her people have, but it’d be faster if I go and burn all the ships. That’ll make the demons retreat.”

They won’t be able to resupply.

“That’s easy to say, but… how exactly are you planning to get there? The sea at this time of year is brutal.”

“I’ll fly. Maybe on Bee-san?”

“That’s tough too. Do you even realize how far it is?”

Judging from the map, it’s pretty far.

“I’ll make it, I’ll make it.”

“And even if you get there, a human on the Magic Continent would stand out. You look different, after all.”

Those guys are pale blue, after all.

“AI-chan will handle that. I had her install Merell’s disguise magic earlier.”

“All set! It seems to be similar to Annie’s recognition-blocking magic. With this, they’ll automatically perceive you as a demon.”

“How convenient… But are you really going? Is it something you need to go that far for?”

Annie seemed worried and was trying to stop me.

“This war will definitely drag on. It’s winter, there are refugee issues, the military isn’t unified, and the enemy being demons means their morale is high because they’re fighting with their backs to the wall… No matter how you look at it, this won’t end in a few months. And if that happens, it’ll start affecting our lives—especially Leanne’s situation.”

Leanne, with her teleportation Gift, would likely end up in a bad position.

“Yuuma-sama, I don’t really…”

“It’s fine.”

I patted Leanne’s head, silencing her.

She had once said she didn’t want to be used as a tool for war or politics anymore.

“I don’t know how terrifying demons are, but if they’re like Sven, Domik, or even Merell, they’re not worth being enemies. I’ll go quickly, burn the ships, and end it.”

“...Fine. If you’re using Leanne as a reason, I can’t argue. Do as you like.”

Annie glanced at Leanne, who was blushing and leaning close to me.

“What about you all? Are you going to join the volunteer army?”

“You decide. We’ll follow your lead. But if I were to state my own opinion, I don’t want to leave this land. If there’s even a slight chance, I want to prepare for the possibility of a demon stampede here.”

There’s precedent for that.

Annie’s from this town, and her family lives here, so it makes sense.

“Master, I think you should take everyone, including Leanne, with you. With her teleportation, we can return at any time, like when we chased after the dragon. We’ll also need Annie and the others’ magic. And as for this land, we can leave it to Layla. With her around, whether it’s a stampede or demons, she’ll wipe them all out.”

“That’s true…”

Layla is strong, and that snake of hers would swallow everything whole.

“Hey, it’s a bit late to ask now, but is our clan leader also a dangerous person?”

“Seems like it.”

“...She’s a reincarnator from Yuuma’s world, right? Must’ve been a hellish world.”

“That person’s scary, isn’t she...”

Lily, Natalia, Alice, and Pamela were saying whatever they pleased.

“I’m fine with AI-chan’s suggestion, but is it really okay to take Leanne along? She’s the head of the guild. Leanne… Leanne? Hey, stop being lovestruck and come back to us!”

Annie waved her hand in front of Leanne’s face.

“You’re noisy… I’ll talk to my uncle about it.”

“Alright. Then please do that. Yuuma, let’s call it a night for now and discuss this again tomorrow.”

That makes sense. Everyone, especially Lily, looks sleepy.

“Got it. Let’s get some sleep tonight.”

To be honest, I’m tired too.

“Yuuma-sama, I’ll head back to the dorms tonight, but I’ll speak with my uncle first thing in the morning about everything that happened today.”

Leanne stood up as she said this.

“Yeah. Get some rest.”

“I will. After I’ve spoken with my uncle, I’ll come back again… Pamela, let’s go.”

“Yes. Tama-chan, time to go home!”

Pamela called out to Tama-chan, who emerged from under the kotatsu and settled into Pamela’s arms.

“Well then, Yuuma-sama, goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

“Yeah, goodnight.”

The two of them, along with Tama-chan, vanished in an instant.

“Alright, the rest of you go to sleep too. Sorry for keeping you up so late.”

“With all this going on, it can’t be helped,” Annie said, resting her chin on her hand.

“Exactly. It’s a national crisis, after all,” Natalia added with a resigned tone.

“...I’m so on edge I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep after this,” Alice muttered.

You were literally asleep just a little while ago.

“Mmm...”

Lily placed her pillow on the desk and was already asleep.

“Master, it seems Leanne is causing quite a commotion. Tama-chan says it’s bothering others at this hour, nya.”

“What is she even doing...”

“‘I wasn’t wrong! It’s definitely Yuuma-sama’s child’... I’ll stop there.”

Leanne, go to sleep.

“We’re going to bed too. See you all tomorrow.”

“Alright. Goodnight.”

“...I could just sleep right here though,” Alice mumbled.

Annie and Alice got out from under the kotatsu.

“Come on, Lily, let’s go.”

“Okay...”

Natalia urged Lily along, gently pulling her up.

The four of them left the room.

“Goodnight... Master, where’s the pillow?”

...Lily took it with her.

“You can get it back tomorrow. Let’s sleep.”

With that, I got into bed with AI-chan.

“I really am tired... By the way, this smells like Lily, doesn’t it?”

“Go to sleep.”

Stop giving me updates about everything.
