--At the inn where I returned.
Nell, Lew and En sat at the table in the room and watched Yuki fall asleep in bed.
He fell into bed the moment he got back here, and a few moments later he said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to go to bed."
I'm not tired, I'm telling you... from what I've seen, there must have been a considerable strain on the body.
Though I was showing a flat appearance, I wonder if I actually had a rather frustrating feeling.
"I've always known that this person is special and painful, but... I wonder how strong it's going to be."
Nell opens his mouth with a small voice to prevent Yuki from waking up.
"Of course, even where Lefi is, Nell.The end of this man's strength is there. "
Nell nods at Lew's words.
"Yeah... I think it's pretty amazing that I can really point it in the eye.I'm trying to be strong as a brave man, but I honestly don't think I want to be strong even to refi. "
"... Lord, there are many times when you're out of your mind, but I'm not proud of your strength.I'm even working hard with Lil. "
En joins the conversation as he cheeks on the bony big meat that is a specialty of Dwarf's Sato.
Richly baked and seasoned with only salt and pepper, this is a wonderfully sickening junk dish, even though it has a very rough and intense taste.
It was bought after Yuki went to bed and Nell and Lew stopped because of the overwhelming fat and gravy, but En, who could eat anything delicious, was still delicious.
"Well, sometimes I get a little anxious, but I'm sure that's what a man does, right?... and En-chan, is that delicious? "
"... junk and delicious inside.This treacherous fat and flavor amplifies appetite.But I'm sure it's greasy, so don't like it or not.Do you want a bite too? "
"Thank you, then take a sip.... nh, that feels really treacherous, to say the least.The Dwarfs say they eat this every day, but I can't get my stomach up...? "
"Thank you, En-chan.... uhh, that's a lot of fat.I might go out with this bite... it looks like the dwarf drinks gabberish on dishes.I wonder if it's an iron stomach, those people. "
"... oh, I want an iron stomach too."
"En-chan has an infinite stomach, so let's keep it nice.Life that requires an iron stomach is simply bad for the body. "
After laughing at the exchange, the story returns to Yuki.
It is common sense among them that Yuki is missing one.
Recently, he has failed a lot and seems to have endured the boulders. He is also looking a little depressed.
But I've never seen him stop walking.
Yes, he keeps moving forward.
Fight every day in the forest of demons, then jump out, get involved with the nations, and eventually be the emperor.
Furthermore, it seems to have become the "King of the Conqueror" this time, and as far as I can hear, I am certain that it has the ability to transcend human species.
He also said that he had spoken to God, but if he did, it would all be true.
It's only been about three years since Yuki became the Demon King... but I wonder who in this world could do this for that long.
Incidentally, in the dungeon area of the Magic Forest, which is his dominant territory, Nell and Lew, who have the simple authority for the dungeon, know from the map function that there is considerable defense equipment laid down.
Especially since Nell often goes to the demonic forest with Yuki and watches the trap together, he knows its scope, effects, power, etc., but he has decided that it will be destroyed in a week even if all the armies of the Arysian Kingdom enter.
Neither annihilated nor destroyed. Destroyed.
The roots will die. Yuki and Lil didn't do anything, just the traps that were installed.
There is no human species territory with such defensive equipment.
From Nell's point of view, I wonder if the "secret of the forest" that elves boast can stand up to each other.
However, it still seems that Yuki often has no teeth in the deepest part of the demonic forest called the "West Area", and I often hear him complaining about "what's going on there".
Normally you'll forget about it in the dungeon, but that forest is still a dangerous hideout.
"This man has recently become an emperor, but I think I've done my best.No, everyone thinks the same.I was really surprised, but I think I'm convinced. "
"... I see. Maybe" hero "means someone like your husband.Well, your husband laughed bitterly and said, "That's not true.I think I'm just being selfish. "
Yuki often refers to herself as "selfish."
I am at the center of things, so I am never such a praised being, and I am a more hopeless man.
Sure, it may not be selfish.
That means you won't give up the beliefs that are in you.
Whatever stands in the way, crushes everything and pushes itself through.
That was demonstrated in the war that took place a while ago.
No matter how strong an enemy he may be, he eats his teeth, and fights hard for his companions.
"... but the Lord always thinks about everyone."
"Yeah, I think so, too.The top priority is for everyone in the dungeon, and I'm always behind.Well, sometimes you're acting weird, sometimes you're saying weird selfishness, but it's important to always prioritize us.... well, I guess that's what we love about him. "
"Fufu, that's right. Keep your body up, penetrate yourself.That's why we need to be able to support your husband's back as we go. "
"Nh, you said a good thing, Lew.We're going to be the Emperor's wife from here on out, and we need to keep trying so we can follow him. "
"... but now we're the Emperor's wife.It sounds amazing. I was just a maid. "
"No, maybe the maid was the maid."
Maybe?
"... no, it's nothing.You're a maid, right? "
I accidentally swallowed the words that came out of my mouth, "Leila doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, but positioning Lew as a definition in a 'maid' is a bit...", and showed Nell that there was nothing unusual about it in a deliberate manner.
"Doesn't it feel like it's included?It's okay, we're family.Whatever you want to say. "
"No, no, I think sometimes it's better to be careful with words because I'm a close family member."
"Nell, your husband's been acting like you lately."
They're each other.
En keeps eating bony big meat while opening his mouth to my pace, not worrying at all, beside the two of them lying around.
"... speaking of which, the Lord's third wing.Cool, I'm sure oneechan will get excited. "
"Ahahah, sure. Lefi is a winged fetish, so she'll be in a lot of trouble when she gets back.I'll probably keep touching Oni-san's wings for about three days. "
"It's easy to think of your husband who makes you like refi while complaining about the trouble or something."
The three conversations don't stop.
Even though we're always together, we keep talking and laughing.
--Incidentally, Yuki woke up in the middle of the conversation with a voice, but she couldn't get out of the conversation and was actually agonized in bed.
