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

"? What's up, Nell. You look in a good mood."

Nell replies with Nico's face to the boss of the lady knight, who walks next door and looks at her wonderfully.

"Yes, I had a good thing last night"

"Hmm? Have you even met your lover?

"What... how did you figure that out!

"... no, I meant to joke"

To the brave girl blushing her cheeks, her boss filled with bitter laughter - Carotta.

And, the lady knight coughs up one with Cohon, and then goes on with the words.

"But Nell. I know you're happy, but what's going to happen now is an important operational meeting. If you don't keep your head down, I'm in trouble."

"Yes!

Carotta nods cocklessly at Nell, who replies by switching her expression.

"Okay. Okay, I'll be heading to the conference room in a minute. It would be time for all the others to be in place -"

Conference room where more than a dozen soldiers gather.

"- You're all set. Now start describing the mission!

Carotta, standing before them in the role of chancellor, raised her voice in good spirits towards her men - the Holy Knights.

"This time the task entrusted to us is the stepping stone of the labyrinth present in the coastal region - the (...) crusade of the Demon King (...)"

To the words of that Carotta, Nell's heart pounds for a moment as he was listening...... his own boss immediately remembers what he said 'coastal area' and strokes his chest down in a ho.

- Your dungeon is not a coastal area at all.

"When it comes to coastal areas, is it the Rhone region?

To the words of one of the Holy Knights, Carotta answers.

"That's right. In the Rhone region, you will dive four hours from the port of Posa into the labyrinth."

"Four hours...? That's pretty close. Why hasn't he been crusaded before?

"No, until now, the adventurers seem to be in charge and moving on the offense. But you haven't reached the Demon King crusade yet."

"Heh... if that's how the offense is going, there doesn't seem to be much of a problem, but why did such a case come around to us? And there's no such thing as a dungeon attack."

Also, a question that can be thrown from another Saint Knight.

The work of the Holy Knight focuses on policing the parish, arresting criminals in cooperation with the military, and protecting dignitaries, with little to do with the task of dungeon offensives out of the city in charge.

Such a job has been turned around that should also be said to be out of jurisdiction - which means that quite a few circumstances exist there.

"Oh, thank you. Looks like the adventurers on their way to the Demon King crusade have failed to come back. The Demon King needs to crusade early because he is a threat, but other powerful adventurers can't seem to get around to you at a bad time. Therefore, the arrow of white feathers stood against us, the Saint Knight, who is relatively more free than the army, individually and quite powerful - for apparent reasons."

So Carotta cuts the words once and goes on with the boring look on her face.

"We used to have two cardinals in our hands, didn't we? The fact that there was trouble almost at the top of the church, the Cardinal, touches the ears and eyes of the people and is distrustful. To dispel this, he wants to boast above that the Church has the power to protect the people. In short, politics (...)"

Carotta sniffing with hun.

"I just want to kick your ass if you don't make crappy requests... but it's also a definite fact that we captured Azumi. A proper adult is what we do until the end of the day. We have to show that we're not old people in need of care, like wiping their own butts."

Her sarcastic words leak a laugh from the conference room.

"That's why. We're going to start getting ready to dive into the labyrinth. - But before we do, there's one problem."

The Holy Knights, who were laughing, shut their mouths immediately to hear the words of Carotta that followed.

"As you all know, there will be a 'ritual of selection' to elect a new Cardinal in the near future. Therefore, more than half of them must be turned over to your guard. When that happens, the adventurers must challenge the dungeons that have failed to crusade the Demon King with less force. So this time, I'd like to get help from the outside to make sure it's all right..." Nell. "

"Huh? Oh, yes!

Nell replies hastily after a moment of fright because he didn't think he would talk to him.

"Well, it's about the helpers."

"Dungeons!

"Dang jing!

"Attack!"

"Here's Lyaku!

"It's a thousand bucks!!

"Dar!!

Simulate me, shi with my hands high in heaven. Too cute.

By the way, I don't think you understand a lot about what I'm saying.

Shh, I don't think about it. Parrots often say things back.

"... if you think you've started mocking magic props, what, suddenly"

And Leffi, who was watching this one, asks me with a strange look.

"Nell said," Dungeon, you're going to attack, so why don't you come too? 'I've been contacted, so I'd like to go on a dungeon offense. "

"Oh, well - are you going to crusade the Demon King? For once, aren't you one of your lords?

"Peer? Hahaha, don't talk crazy, Refi. The Demon King only has enemies or allies?

And my allies are Nell with those who are here, and Plus Alpha, so other than that, they are enemies, or those who don't care.

"... if you don't mind the Lord, anything at all..."

Hey, other Demon King dungeons, I wanted to see them. I haven't had that chance before.

What I've heard so far is, "Demon King," do it, arrogant, do it, enemies of humanity, they have the worst reputation.

In fact, you wonder what other demon kings look like. If you're a real scumbag, don't hesitate to kill me.

Well, tell me, I also have a title for 'Enemies of Humanity' like a demon king.

"So you're leaving for a while?

"Oh, I'm coming to see you. Ma, I think I'll be home sooner than I did when I went to the King's Capital a while ago. I'm talking about being near the ocean, and I'm going to get some souvenirs for some sea food monsters."

"Umi no Sachi!

"Ooh, sea pleasure. Delicious?"

That's what I started getting ready to go away while I told Sy I was nicking.
