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

"Lord Yuki, Lord Brave. This one's going to the Imperial Castle. What are you gonna do?

While the soldiers were proceeding to enter the King's Capital, the old lord, who stepped out of the previous carriage and approached this carriage, somewhat wary of the surroundings, then turned to our riding carriage, muttered so.

Perhaps he's been careful not to let Nell's appearance be exposed to his surroundings.

"What do we do, Nell? I'll follow you."

"... I, too, will go to the Royal Castle first before the church. First of all, I must apologize for the inconvenience caused to the King. Let me stay with you."

"I don't think His Majesty cares about that at all. Okay, well, I know it's cramped, but I need you to stay inside the carriage a lot longer."

The lord's old man nodded cocklessly and immediately went back to his carriage.

"... at a time like this, it's so helpful to have allies"

"Yeah, really. Lady Raylow won't be able to lift her head anymore."

I really didn't think I'd get to hang out this long, either.

Next to Nell, speaking of a deeply related person, it would be him.

Then a little while later, they finished the proceedings at the main gate of the Wang Capital.

As the carriage moves out again and enters the interior of the city, the murmur that comes to be heard.

After all, it is only the capital of one country, as full of people as the capital of the demonic kingdom, and from the mood of this one today, it is as lively as it is hateful.

It's not like when I came here before. The neighborhood was quiet back then, and it was like a ghost town.

When I turn my gaze towards Nell only for a moment with Chirali, I can't even feel the dust on how my liver was already sitting or odd.

I know there are some aspects of it that scare me inside...... from her now that I can feel ready, I can see the bravery I just get convinced of being said brave.

When I lifted the end of my mouth small, I did not speak to her in particular, but left my body in the inner seat of the carriage for the most part.

Our carriage continues slowly down the wide and tidy streets of the Wang capital, and within a few minutes we reach the big white castle that stands in the center of the city.

After proceeding to enter the royal castle at the castle gate, the carriage stopped completely as we entered the interior, and we descended from the inside out.

Last time it was trespassing, but this time it's punching in from the front. I won't punch you in though.

The king can trust you, but I'm sure there are some of our enemies here. Shall I keep you in the mood?

"... Lord Yuki, do you still wear that mask"

"Whoa, I, I know the king, but I haven't exposed my face. Instead, if you're not wearing a mask, you might not even notice me."

"... by all means, is that familiar to you?

... Indeed. That's a subtle line.

And the lord's old man continues his words with an indescribable look on his face as he looks at my mask.

"... If you can, you might want to remove your mask"

"Heh? Why?

Surprisingly, yes, I asked the lord's old man - then.

"Also, what if, mask......?

"Huh?"

Looking back at the voice I heard, there was one soldier with a stunned look on his face.

Old is young. Rather, there would be possibilities younger than me.

... No, on second thought, I'm about a year old and two months old, so that's not true.

Most of them here were older than me.

"That's a mask that mimics its dogma...... after all, you saved Wang Du before, you're a mask!?

"Oh, hey, maybe I am..."

Masked.

Was there any other way to call it?

"Shh, wow, I want to dream! I can't believe I'm meeting a hero of the Redemption! Sa, could you please sign!?

"Uh, ah, yes"

Pushed by the winding momentum of the soldier, receiving pen-like writing equipment and parchment-like paper, I worry a little and then write in Japanese, 'I'm sorry, did you think you could write me an autograph, you idiot'.

"Thanks!! Oh, what a brave word!! Let it be a family heirloom!!

"No, don't."

Unexpectedly vegetarian and stubborn, the soldier went back to his work in a way he was grateful, without looking at all concerned.

"Oh, hey, now..."

"No way, mask...?

"Mask!? Um, mysterious hero's!?

- When you look around you, the guards of the royal castle, hissing and having conversations with their nearby companions, sending your gaze here enough to feel the heat.

"... Hey, you two, can I ask you something? Right now, I'm feeling a lot of sight, but what's going on here?"

"Ah, speaking of which, you were quite a celebrity in Wang Du, Lord."

"Uhm... only appeared once in the crisis of the King's capital, His Majesty and Princess Ilil, and the man in the mask of the Taoism, who saved this country. After you left here, rumors of such a man spread throughout the city. Especially since some of the soldiers actually fought with you, 'I fought alongside my heroes' and my thoughts on the mysterious mask are strong. '

"Hu Hu, you think Wang Du is the main character in the theatre? Without knowing who the devil is."

"I know it's rude to say this in front of you, but every time I see an ad for that play or something, I feel like laughing and laughing."

Lords old man so overflowing with bitter laughter at Couscous and funny laughing Nell.

Wait, I didn't ask.

"... you know what, why don't you tell me first?

"I'm sorry, I wasn't wearing a mask until earlier, so I was simply losing it. When I saw that mask in the city of Senghuria on the way over, I was hoping to keep an eye out..."

"I'm sorry, I forgot because I've been away from the king's capital for a long time."

"... and for now, why don't we go first? I feel like I'm gonna be in trouble when I'm here."

"Um, I agree. Then both of you, follow me. His Majesty is still at work, but he says he'll see you soon."

"? It's a lot easier to see you. I thought we were gonna wait an hour or so."

"With me and Lord Nell... well, when I heard you were here, you put the rest of your work behind you. So let's hurry. I will not wait for His Majesty."
