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

"Bye, lord. We're going to let you go to your room."

"Well, I'll see you later."

"... um. Early tomorrow. Feed me well enough."

Thus, even though it felt slightly awkward with each other, Nell and I broke up with a line of lords first to head to each room -.

- But we never went into the room like that.

Pic, react to the body, and I abruptly stop on the spot.

What's wrong?

"... ha, not at all. I've already taken a break. - Nell, prepare your weapon (...)"

――

To my words, she wraps the sheath of the Holy Sword around her hips again, which she had removed from her hips by sharpening her expression, without pinching any particular words of doubt.

…… Hey, what's up?

The lord, who noticed something strange about us, asks us from across the hallway.

"A bunch of demons are coming towards this city. Quite a few."

"Huh!?

"... Ooh, what's the distance?

"Pretty close. We arrive in less than half an hour."

Yes, while answering her, I open the map to see the reactions hooked up with my 'Sovereign' skills.

... I knew it.

As far as I can confirm, demons are approaching this city straight from the same direction we came.

The breakdown is an army of people, such as orcs, orgasms and goblins, but not treated as' human species'.

The rare thing is that goblins, oaks, etc. are also mixed with so-called 'riders' on wolf-based demons and hog-based demons.

… just when we arrived in the city.

Is it a coincidence, or...

- And that's when the alarm starts pounding so hard that it starts sounding all over the city.

Hearing the noise, the other guests of the inn began to squeal, and the attendant's voice stretched out to calm them down came up to this hallway.

"... apparently it's true. If you don't see anything, do you realize that the boulder is the Demon King?"

"Well, if you're not as nosy as this, you won't survive. - Better than that, old man, you're great. Evacuate somewhere."

"I'm not going. Nobility is when you have to take the lead. Lord Gamdia!"

"Ha!"

An old man, a former commander who had always refrained beside him, changes his attitude visciently to the words of the lord's old man.

"Gather all the escorts you were putting to rest. We're heading to the Lordship Hall in this city. Maybe we can help."

"Copy that. I will gather them immediately."

Leaving it at that, he rushed to get his men in a military-like, crisp move.

"... oh, please. I was wondering if you could help me."

"You don't have to ask me to. If that's what you want, let's do it."

With a niggling smile on my shoulder, Nell also relieves me just a little of the look that seems serious again and smiles.

"... Lord Yuki, Lord Nell. I'm going straight to the Lordship Hall. What are you going to do?

"Well... shall I repel you? I can't seem to rest like this, and he asked me to. - Let's just scout out of the sky and then decide how it actually works. Nell, what are you gonna do?

"I'm heading to the outer walls of the city. Where does the demon come from?

"It comes from the same direction we came from. Until now, there must have been no shadow or shape."

"Okay, well, I'm going to head to the main gate when I get into the city. Oh-ho, can you tell me what's going on when I check on you?

"Oh, I'll be right over there as soon as I make sure. - That's what I'm talking about, old lord. We're gonna move on our own over here."

"Got it. So let's assume this one as well.... If it's always the case, it should be something you have to be prepared for. When I heard you guys were moving, I couldn't help but feel relieved."

"Oh, you can just relax and rest. Nah, Nell."

"... Ooh, weird alarm, as usual, 'Shit!' Don't let it happen. Ooh, that's a lot."

"Ooh. Yeah, don't be alarmed. I mean it."

"Haha, as far as that goes, he really doesn't need to worry. But, well, be careful. Good luck."

"Lord Nigella!

Raylow, Alfiero's city lord, stepped inside the city's 'Sengiglia' consulate with momentum as if punching in.

"Lord Raylow!? Why are you here?

"It's a coincidence. I was on my way to Wang Capital, but it seemed like an emergency. Might be an overdone imitation, but I was wondering if I could help."

"Well... should I say it was a disaster for you? No, actually, I appreciate it. Honestly, it's only comforting to have you in this state of affairs called 'God of War'."

To the words of Sengulian lord, Nigella, Raylow answers with an unexpected bitter smile.

"It was a long time ago. - More than that, I want to hear more about it. The demons are coming, aren't they?

"... you're ears fast on boulders. Exactly. A Night Guard guard confirmed the appearance of an army of demons approaching the city. Hundreds don't go down."

"... That's a lot"

"Oh. Plus, the enemy breakdown confirms a lot of man-made demons, including orcs, orgs, and goblin riders.... a complete stampede. There were no signs of that."

Raylow, who has a similarly serious look on Nigella with a harrowing look to say so - but he had a small grin on his mouth.

"... only this time, I might have been fortunate to be unhappy"

"What?"

"No, not even unhappy, maybe not. It's just impudent to be relied upon... but this one is going to haunt my mind more than they've moved to deal with"

Just one, to the raylow that overflowed, Nigella leaned her neck suspiciously.
