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

"Well... there was a demonic raid in the city of Senghuria, and Lord Brave repelled, I heard reports... you had that behind you."

"Do you know who this Argos is behind the aristocracy?

To my question, the king grunts and thinks, "Hmm..."

"... I'm sorry, I can't say for sure with whom. He is a fast-changing man who switches factions of his own the moment he sees them as unfavourable, and has rarely before moved under certain people.... Raylow, what do you think?

"No, I, too, thought the same thing as His Majesty, not particularly..."

An old lord shaking his neck sideways looking sorry.

"So, whose faction is Soitz in now?

"There are a few, but most certainly the Duke's faction called Emmerda-Florite. Pretty far away, but you're a royal blood man for once."

"? Doesn't Soytz fit into the mastermind candidate?

"Emelda is a woman."

Oh, I see...

Even if there are some women with some exceptional strength in this country, such as Nell and Nell's boss's female knights, they usually have male inferiority through them, and it seems only men have the right to participate in politics.

Inevitably, that woman's presence would be removed from the current political struggle.

Next to what I'm convinced, the lord's old man opens his mouth to the king.

"Your Majesty, I intend to move in the direction of exploring that mastermind. Trying to plot against Lord Nell means enemies who have no enemies against this country. He wants to work with them as much as I can."

"... Lord, thank you so much. Always, always on my side..."

"What do you say, you are fighting for this country. Then it is perfectly normal for us to cooperate with you. - You have the help of those who are not men!

That said, lord old man laughing hahahaha while looking at me. He's a man.

I'll just tell you one thing, old man, I'm a 'human species' too, so I'm a sort of person.

"Um, you're right. It is only natural that we should cooperate with Lord Nell, who is at the forefront of the battle. Okay, I'm gonna try and hit it a little bit, but I asked you, Raylow."

"My pleasure."

"Thank you, thank you very much. - Oh, and I'll tell you what, I'll let you do this one on your own. I won't lay my hands on him that doesn't matter...... well, that's what I'm going to do, say hello. Sorry if I bothered you."

"Whoever pissed you off is sad or something. Oh, it hurts so bad."

The king said so with a delightful grin.

"Oh, my God, you're not stopping me."

"It would be useless to stop you. Instead, there are no stoppages in this country. Lord Brave."

Oh, you know very well.

"I'll take care of it! Even if you're about to run wild, I'll hold onto your reins!

"Haha, reliable. Then let's leave the role to Lord Brave."

"I'm a horse."

"Huh? Yeah, you are. I guess that's a rampage horse too. Raging Horses I hear a lot about girls, especially young ones"

…………

I couldn't say anything anymore. Look at me, Nell laughed couscous.

Then we talked a little bit more about this country, and then Nell and I left the room behind.

Only the lord's old man stayed in his room because he said he still had a few errands for the king, so he hasn't followed us.

"What do we do, Nell? I'm talking about you letting me stay in this castle room, but are you going to church like this by the end of the day?

"Yeah, it may be a little late, but I've annoyed everyone, and I need to show my face faster than I've come to King's Capital. So why don't you take a break first?

"Silly, if you're going, I'm going, too."

"... thank you."

Nell who can carry a thin smile on his mouth.

That's how I was taking him with Nell and returning to the original passage in the castle - that's when it was.

"Oh? This is..."

A pair of people meet each other at the corner of the aisle.

One was a young man dressed in brilliant flashy armor - and the other, indeed, a party member of Nell in the demonic realm, a court magician's girl.

"I thought it was something that was already dead, but no way -"

"-Nell!!

A court magician who sees Nell perfectly blocks the words of a flash-armed young man who was saying something and rushes under Nell with a jumping momentum.

"Ronia!"

"Magic flow is normal, no noticeable trauma...... any injuries? Any sequelae? If I were you now, I could cure most things. Tell me if anything happens."

"Ugh, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm sorry, I was worried."

Nell returns his words to the court magician who winds up touching Nell's body all over the place.

You must have been surprised at the way she talks all at once, but that's all this girl was worried about Nell, too.

I feel like I've done something a little bad.

Should we still have brought Nell to the king's capital a little sooner?

"Safe... yes..."

I gaze seriously about Nell from top to bottom, and eventually I exhale a ho of relief when I decide he looks really okay.

And then she turned to me and slowly lowered her head.

"I heard you helped Nell.... thank you so, so much for saving my friend"

"Ronia......"

I hear there was something coming to my heart about that look of a friend, Nell, who only weeps a little.

I lift one cheek, clasp my shoulders and return my words to the court magician.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Even for me... well, Nell was important. More than that, were you okay after that? Even if Nell was holding back, it would have been tough to bring the injured."

At that time, along with the court magician and another Nell party member, there were a large number of Winged Injured.

Taking it all and going for a safe zone should have been a lot harder than putting it into words.

"There is no more to be defined than that you left Nell behind. Thanks to Nell for buying me time, I was able to call you and escape the enemy."

"Well... I guess it was worth the effort, too."

"Nell is cowardly, too mean and unscrupulous. Reflect."

"Oh, I'm sorry. So, but then, either way, someone had to stop the enemy, and I think that was the best..."

"Still reflecting"

"Oh, yeah..."

Nell scratches his cheeks poly with a troublesome bitter smile.

I hang up my words, laughing at the two good friends.

"Haha, ma'am, it's you two. We'll have a lot to talk about with each other, but for now -"

"Don't ignore me!!

To that roar, the three of us face each other in the same direction.

There he was, a flashy armored young man who distorted his brightly red-dyed face in such a way as angry mind, floating blue muscles on his temples, and shaking his body with pulls.

... Oh, you should have said that, Koz.

"Who, you"?

He said he appeared without any context.

"Huh!? You don't know me? I can't help it, you countryman, who are you!! Suspicious masks!!

Huh? Oh, well, you left me on the mask now.

...? Wait, how did the court magician know I was the same person I met in the demonic world?

You're treating me so normally, I didn't realize you were being noticed.

... well, okay. You don't mind finding out who the mask is anymore, and that's a minor problem.
