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

"- Hey, Yuki. Long time no see. How have you been?

"... why did you come out?"

Immediately back in the dungeon, taking the communication balls/modifications placed on my workbench, it was not Nell's voice that I heard.

Unless my memory is wrong - this voice and the way it speaks certainly belong to the King of Demons (...), Final.

'The brave man says he has the tools to get in touch with you, so I let him borrow just a little. I wanted to talk to you. "

And after that word, I hear a familiar daughter-in-law.

"Oh, I'm sorry, suddenly. Please, I need your help. I want you to listen to me, because the Demon King will explain the details."

"... well, I'll listen to you if you say so"

'Yeah, yeah, we seem to be close. I thought it was funny when you and the brave one of the demon kings heard you were a couple, but they seem like they're loving each other inside and above all. "

I'm hanging up.

"Ha ha, sorry, just kidding"

After laughing pleasantly in the same way, the Demon King continues his words.

'Well, then, let's say our current situation briefly. In the elf, when I was in a meeting with the king of man and the queen of the elves, I was raided by the sons of the devil tribe (...) who were also related to you. That in itself, thanks to everyone, seems to have eaten a cup. I'm in a little trouble.'

I don't know the queen of elves... but the king of man would be King Arysia, given that Nell is here.

I see... Is this what Nell was referring to as a 'massive expedition'?

And... the devil tribe.

"Trouble?"

"Yeah. There's a very powerful demon around the elves, unleashed by the devil's sons. - It's an undead (...) dragon (...) '

"What...?

Refi, who was listening next to me, frowns.

"Is that... the undead of the Dragon Clan, as it were?

'That's right. They dug up the remains of the Dragons that were somewhere and brought them back to life as undead. I'm supposed to be weaker than I was when I was alive than I was an undead... but if I let out just a little bit, the terrain would change.'

... put the body in the army, huh?

As usual, that's a shitty place to work.

If you are dead and can make that person fight, you can say that it is a dream force for the exchangers (...), but it would be an outrageous blasphemy against the dead to get their hands on that realm.

Nothing, I'm not even faithful, and I don't have some kind of solid religious view... simply, I feel bad (...).

It's nauseating evil.

I liked zombie movies in my previous life, but that's funny because it's fiction.

'If we were to crusade alone, the damage would be immense... you would have defeated Chenglong before, wouldn't you? That's why I need your help. Whatever it takes to save our lives, I'll pay you enough. "

"... In the meantime, I get the story. Turn me into Nell."

'Fine. Nell, I'm calling you. "

Nell's voice is heard after the voice of the demonic king in a relaxed tone, not at all in a hurry.

"I've changed, Mr. O'Hara."

"Nell, are you hurt? You were raided, weren't you?

"It's okay! I'm the wife of the Demon King. A little bit of a soft-ass assault, and I'm not going to get hurt or anything!

With a voice that looks really healthy, those words come back.

... Even if I'm trying not to make you worry, if it looks like this, you'll be fine.

"Okay. Then let's head that way right away."

"I'm sorry, Oh-ho. I got caught up... '

"Don't worry about it. You're my precious wife, of course."

My wife pinches.

Then it's a matter of decision to go and help at any time.

"I know where you are largely thanks to the communication balls/modifications, but when you fly from here, do you know how long it takes?

"Yeah... this elf is a little underneath the demon world. So if you fly in, I don't think it'll take two or three days!

"Okay, then let's go in two days. Just wait. You do what you can't do and be careful not to cause more damage."

'Okay! - Thank you, Ooh. I love it!

At the end of the day, I couldn't hear my voice from the ball of communication.

"Okay...... that's why, you guys. I'll be ready to leave soon."

"Yuki, let's go too. The Dragons, even if they were corpses. If we're gonna make it, we should go too."

"... ok, please. Lew, Leila. Always bad. I asked for this one."

"I'll take care of it! Because it's like family to help each other when you're in a pinch! Hey, Leila."

"Yes, I'll take care of it. I'll get back to you as soon as I can, so we'll take care of this."

Layla smiles reliably at Lew squeezing her fist.

I nodded one thing, activated Far Tale, called the pets to come to the meadow area, and started preparing to go away.

"Well... now you have a purpose to open up the situation."

"... I didn't know that man was the Demon King..."

"Didn't you know? Holy knight's lady. You must have some face-to-face knowledge, right?

To the words of a strange demonic king, the female knight captain Carotta nods cocklessly.

"Yeah, because he didn't seem to really want us to pry either, because he didn't really want us to know who he was. There was no better way to follow a snake than to be a very capable ally..."

"Haha, I see. Instead of the snake, it was a catastrophic serpent."

"Oh, um... Mr. Carotta..."

To Nell, who looks anxious, Carotta answers with one exhale.

"Fine, don't say anything. I know exactly what happened when you kept your mouth shut, and I suppose you hid your face at first because you thought the mask's own identity would interfere when you found out. But still, he did all kinds of work for us. Then I won't say anything. Your Majesty probably knew, didn't he?

"Oh, I knew. I'm sorry, but when the country's benefactor is not a human being, there are a lot of inconveniences."

To answer that, King Reid of Arysia.

"I know what you want to say. Things like finally turning back a calm political dispute are not favorable. Let's just say I didn't hear about this, either."

"Uhm, it helps"

"Mr. Carotta...... thank you!

"Absolutely... I'm surprised by the boulder, Nell. If you think about the man's, a little strange strength, you're convinced."

That being said, Carotta overflowed with bitter laughter.

"- Well, thank you, brave man of man. With the rest missing one arm, the Elf's defensive power decreases dramatically. I'll be sure to thank you."

and Naphorase, the queen of the elves, who treated her arm, which Nell brought to Yuki and was devoured by a thousand cuts in the advanced potion in her possession, bows her head small but firmly.

"No, thank you is fine. For that matter, I hope you get along with us humans."

"Cook, right. I think I've given you a strong card, the King of Man."

"As far as I'm concerned, what reward to give her later is troubling. That potion belongs to her."

"That certainly troubles me. Which will give you the right silo for the reward?"

"... I guess that means indirect but zero borrowing? Let me refrain."

"Whoa, did they notice?"

Laughing at him with a troubled grin, the Elf Queen then hangs her words to the Demon King.

"So... it's the finals. The sword that the demons were using, what was that? Does Nushi have some information?

"I don't know everything. That great sword is a cursed demon sword that has probably also been classified as catastrophic (...), called 'Totund Ruin'. The record confirms the emergence in the reign of the Demon King four generations ago"

"Four generations ago... almost a thousand and seven hundred years ago"

- Yet another time before Leffi was born.

Nell listens to the Demon King's explanation as he thinks about that behind his brain.

"Right, about that time. Suck blood, suck the resentment and hatred of those who slaughtered it, feed it and grow. Well, the magic sword of the curse is quite small and of that nature - that sword is different from the story."
