A Demon Lord’s Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss

The dead are silent, but the living hear the voice of the dead. 6

A gentle look.

She is probably over seventy years old, but her spine is straight and she feels stronger than her age due to her perseverance.

In this world, it will be quite a long life.

... Nell said.

Humanist supremacists have never done a great deal of activity before, but have only gently propagated ideas from behind.

Living a long life and going through all sorts of things, that's why this old woman was able to stand around strong.

Don't rush, slowly and only spread anxiety.

"Does your coming here mean that all my friends are dead?Well, if I think about what I've done to you, maybe I deserve that reward.... "

"... they killed all the people who were watching me in jail.The guy in this mansion just fainted and didn't kill him.He was really ordinary. "

I ask with a sharp expression.

"Let me get a quick answer.Revenge for who and for what?

"Oh dear, you're such a jerk.Well, okay, I apologize for the inconvenience, let me tell you.- Revenge against this country for my husband, my son and my grandson. "

Not a demon race, but this country.

Revenge against the kingdom of Arisia.

I knew you were resenting other races like me, so I returned the words with a little surprise.

"... those three are dead?

"Yeah. They were all soldiers.My husband was driven along the border into battle with the Demons, my son went with his troops to fight the Beasts, and his grandson joined the fight when there was civil unrest in King's Landing a year ago.As a result, all three died.... no, did you say MIA (Missing in battle)?We haven't found the body, so maybe he's alive. "

But by the time we've given up the survival of the other three, the death will be almost certain.

I don't know the other two, but the civil unrest in which this old woman's grandson participated was when I was brought to Nell and visited King Alcil for the first time.

That, too, involved the Demons behind it, caused by them.

... that's why you resent me.

If my family died in three generations, it might be true as a reason for resentment...

"I hate to say this, but if you're a soldier, death is part of your job.It would be sweet to say that you are not prepared for it.Is it unreasonable to take revenge on the country?

"Of course, I know that.All three of them have chosen their own path to becoming soldiers, and naturally I will have to respect that with all my sorrow.Death in war will have to be accepted.... the problem is that this country wasted its death. "

…………

"On the occasion of the war a short while ago, we are beginning to work together with the contested species, especially to increase our interaction with the demons.― ― Then why didn't you choose it from the beginning!?

Her gentle eyes show hatred.

A crazy color peeking into a hatefully distorted expression.

"What do you say to peace now!?This means that this country didn't have to wage a futile struggle if it wanted to.Now the three of my dear ones have died in vain!It means nothing, it's worthless!Nothing can be done!

... even if there is death and the result is now, this woman will laugh with her nose.

In fact, their deaths didn't mean much.

I think he died from the inertia of the battle that followed the long conflict.

I know this happens all the time in our world.

The death of an old woman's grandson is almost like we solved the civil unrest, so if he died in the middle of it... honestly, maybe it didn't make much sense.

I'm sure she has a point.

There is only legitimacy for revenge.

"If you're not willing to fight, you shouldn't have fought from the beginning.Everyone who helps me is in the same situation as me.All the deaths of our precious people have been wasted in this country.... then, if you don't pay him well, he won't have a face that matches the dead.I apologize deeply for getting you into this. "

This old lady put me in a pretty dangerous situation and put me one step closer to being engaged in some kind of operation that wasn't Roku.

A clear, absolutely unacceptable enemy.

But... like this, the murder of her didn't spring into me.

- I see.

He's a normal person, this old woman.

Just like everybody else, very ordinary people.

That's why I felt angry and determined to avenge what everyone would be angry with.

Everyone can be this old woman.

Unlike ordinary people, this old woman would have had the ability to turn her anger into action.

Perhaps it's useless for me to say anything here.

It's not a story.

Someone said, "That's not good.Even if the deceased does not want such a thing, it cannot be conveniently changed, and if it is convincing, I have not caused such trouble in the first place.

We're "people."

No matter how rational you are, no matter how others stop you, you can't resist the intense emotions that burn you, and even if you know it's doom, you can push ahead.

"If you want to kill me, kill me.You have that right.In that case, however, news has spread that the demons have killed innocent people.On the contrary, if you don't kill me, I will continue to take the lead in spreading evil feelings towards other species.No matter where you are, no matter what you do. "

"That's a very annoying story."

"Yeah, I'm a disgusting woman.I'm sorry I got involved with a selfish old woman... but do you have a deep connection to this country anyway?Let's not get involved in this country anymore. "

With a quiet voice, the old woman smiles.

There is no hostility against me.

Just do what you have to do.

There is only a strong will.

After a moment of silence, I will return the word.

"... I won't kill you.It is the law of this country to judge your grandmother.Live the rest of your life in jail. "

Really? Well, it doesn't matter.I'm a dying old man anyway.Whatever you want. "

I sigh at her when her expression doesn't break.

"I know what you're talking about.However, this is kindly said... you should choose who to involve, Grandma. "

"Does that mean you're going to get revenge in this country?

"No, it's not me.It's my family. "

"What do you mean..."

The next moment she had a suspicious look on her face.

--Roar.

Bagili and all the ceilings blow up, and the night air enters the room.

Then, there is one shadow that mixes with the stars that float in the night sky.

"--I 'm here, Yuki."

That beautiful voice that comes down from the sky, and I love it, and I want to keep hearing it.

"Absolutely... you're in trouble again.No trauma...?The magic flow is normal, and the blood on the clothes is not blood.Are you okay, Yuki?

"Oh, it's okay.Sorry, refi. I was worried. "

It was Lefi who got down next to me from the outside.

--I felt her signs from around the time I discovered this mansion.

That's not why, but I thought it would be okay if anything happened, and I beat him into this mansion.

"And... you've done so much, my lord.I haven't felt this anger in centuries.You can be proud, human. "

The old woman staring at Lefi was stunned.

After being intimidated by my daughter-in-law, she opens her mouth without being pressured, with one hand grasping her heart with ease and cold sweat.

"... after all, are we just being ravaged by our power?"

"What are you doing to the victim?If the LORD had not put his hand in the hand of the husband of the king, the king would not have come here, nor would the country have been threatened by the danger of the king.It's all because you invited me. "

The old woman smiles bitterly at the spicy reflexes that never hide any hostility.

"No, I know that.You deserve it.But... even if you try to plot quite a bit, if you're just turned over by force, you'll want to mourn the weakness of the human species.The demons there must have been doing well until we caught them. "

"Pull it out. It's just that your lord gave up the 'human'.At least one person who understands his/her weakness but still works every day to the best of his/her ability knows.That's how the brave men of this country live.You must have forgotten to move forward just because you were sad. "

"... I don't know how old you are, but I'm telling you to move on to an old woman like me.Has your daughter ever watched her family die many times?Even though you feel the sadness that your spirit is about to tear apart, and yet you feel the hatred when you try to move forward, because all of your death was wasted!?

Hate and frustration peep into the old woman's voice.

I can see that an unprecedented hostility is bubbling up in her.

"... I see.I have no experience with them.I certainly live longer than you, but in the sense of life experience, it may be shallower than you.― ― But if you're afraid of being captured by a man you care about and about to lose your life, I just don't like it today.

This time, you get angry at Lefi's words and the pressure to release increases.

"Did you know about your situation in the first place?You want me to hear that and feel sorry for you?He is the dragon reficios.Counted as one of the greatest dragons in the world.Don't think you can show mercy. "

That's where I pinch my mouth.

"Refi"

"Don't stop, Yuki.I have no intention of forgiving this man, according to the word of the Lord. "

I laughed bitterly and uttered words to the refi, who seemed careful not to hit me, but didn't hide his anger.

"No, Grandma's already fainted. I didn't hear you."

"... hmm?

So, finally, it seems that she is conscious of the other person's condition, and refi seriously looks at the old woman.

She passed out with her upper body awake.

He seemed to have endured it with strength, but he was at his limit because of the wrath of Lefi.

It must have been a tough load for the elderly.

... no, you're not old, are you?

"Let's go home, Lefi.The leader of the enemy, his purpose, his thoughts.Then I'll leave the rest to this country.I should have done enough for my job. "

Next to Lefi, I also send eyes to the fainted old woman.

The immediate problem has not been solved.

The root causes that led them to conceal (...) the name "humanist supremacy" and act remain.

But from here on out, it's not my job.It's not Nell's job either.

King Arisia is the problem to be solved as a nation.

I'm close to him, and if you ask for help, I can help you... but this won't happen again.

To my words, Refi breathes slowly and deeply several times, sighing.

"... I'm angry.This is the end of the stun, with all the trouble. "

"You will be punished, from now on.Maybe he'll be in jail till he dies, and we don't have to go out of our way to cooperate with this grandmother's scheme and kill him. "

"Hmph, there's no way.So you're convinced?... no, when I think about it, it's bad for you to be alarmed in the first place!This wouldn't have happened if you had been so careful!When Nell contacted me, I wondered how cold her liver was!

"I'm sorry, I didn't think there was poison in the food in the boulders.I thought it tasted weird. "

Maybe that was the taste of poison.

It's not good to leave the dishes served... and it was a mistake to eat them all out of my mind.Mm-hmm.

"Come on, if you notice, don't let me eat you, you idiot!

That's what I was told.I simply wondered how bad the food was.I'm familiar with Leila's delicious cuisine.I'm really sorry I worried. "

"... hmm, don't apologize to everyone later.Nell, I thought you were in danger because of yourself, and I blushed your face. "

You must have been really worried, I flew out of the Mansion, feeling a little bit happy about the fairly serious refi.
