New Chapters and Manga Visual

Chapters 34-35 Open a New Arc

Karaka Suiriku confirmed that Chapters 34 and 35 mark the beginning of a new story arc, immediately following Volume 4's first-part climax. Nobeno Masayuki later referred to this new section as the Tenegu Arc in an official web-novel update.

That positioning makes Chapters 34-35 more than a routine continuation after Volume 4. They serve as the entrance to the next stage of Yuri's journey, where the consequences of the Demon King's seal and earlier conflicts begin reaching the kingdom more openly.

Comic Cmoa currently lists both as the newest installments in the chapter edition, with each priced at ¥165 including tax.

The Demon King's Revival Becomes Central

Nobeno's latest teaser states that the two chapters finally bring the truth of the Demon King's revival further into the open.

That continues threads established in Volume 4, where events in the royal capital already connected dark forces, Gevald, the undead outbreak and power linked to the Demon King.

The newest material also brings the Demon King himself closer to center stage. The character finally begins to appear, although the complete identity and true objective remain mysteries deliberately held back for the new arc.

The Kingdom Will Learn What Yuri Achieved in Three Years

One of the teaser's most significant points is that the kingdom will learn what Yuri has accomplished over the past three years.

At the beginning of the story, Yuri was treated as a disposable keysmith. He was framed for embezzlement, stripped of his title and property, and cast out before he could properly hand over his family's responsibility of maintaining the Demon King's seal.

That very duty, however, had developed his Key Magic far beyond what others understood. Chapters 34-35 begin bringing the gap between the kingdom's old perception of Yuri and his true capabilities into the open.

Volume 4 Closes the First Part

Volume 4 received its Comic Cmoa advance release on the same day as Chapters 34 and 35. Karaka Suiriku described the volume as the climax of the manga's first part.

Its story brings a direct threat into the royal capital. Undead creatures overflow into the city while Eirina and Astoria confront Gevald, a keysmith wielding power connected to the Demon King.

When the situation reaches its breaking point, Yuri arrives and releases hidden power to protect his partner. That confrontation becomes the immediate foundation for the new arc.

From Exiled Keysmith to a Kingdom-Level Conflict

Kyuutei Kagishi begins with Yuri's fall from court. Falsely accused of embezzlement, he loses his position and is prevented from carrying on his family's critical responsibility of maintaining the Demon King's seal.

His encounter with Astoria, an S-Rank adventurer, opens a different path. As they travel together, Yuri's Key Magic is revealed to operate on a scale far beyond the work expected from an ordinary keysmith, including powers associated with Time Stop and Molecular Decomposition.

Lucid Cats

Chapters 34-35 now begin reconnecting Yuri's journey outside the kingdom with the people who once discarded him. What began as the story of an exiled keysmith is expanding into a conflict involving the Demon King and the kingdom itself.

Why This Matters

1) The first story phase has clearly ended

Volume 4 is positioned as the climax of the first part, while Chapters 34-35 immediately establish the next arc.

2) The Demon King is moving from background threat to central conflict

The seal and its power have always supported the story's foundation, but the newest developments begin bringing the Demon King directly forward.

3) Yuri's reputation inside the kingdom may change

The kingdom is set to learn what he achieved over three years, contrasting sharply with the way Yuri was treated when he was expelled.

4) The new arc grows directly from Volume 4

Gevald, Demon King-related power, the attack on the capital and Yuri's hidden abilities provide a direct bridge into the next phase.

Closing
