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

There's no danger for now, so we'll explore the area.

That said, I don't think there's anything special about it.

Our home is used as a complete living room, so there is a kitchen, a washroom, a toilet, and a bath, but there is no adjacent room here, just a large throne room.

There was no passage leading anywhere.

Perhaps a more practical room could be found in the ruins of the front.

Things... perhaps there was a shelf set up that seemed to have happened, but maybe it was because of the years passed.

There is only dust and broken scum left, and there are no books.

The first thing I see is the throne, which is still firmly in shape.

... somehow, seeing this throne makes me sad.

The soldiers are the trail of their dreams.

Well, the Asura Golem Legion showed that this dungeon had a lot of strength.

Even if it was based in the western area of the Witchcraft Forest, it still had enough strength to exist.

And yet... now it's gone, and there's only one site left.

There is no one left forever, and everything will go away.

My life is too long... this is how my dungeon will perish someday.

Two, stroking the handrail of the throne, and feeling a little sentimental, Lil calls me "Ku".

"What's going on? This is..."

Lil was looking at the tablet.

It was integrated with the wall, and it was too dark to tell.

If Lil hadn't noticed, he might have missed it normally.

There seems to be some engraving on it... but it's still dark and dusty and I can't see it well.

And this stone tablet.

I've seen it before (...).

The stone monument in the Dwarf's house and the Dragon History in the Dragon's house.

Probably the same material as them.

"So, this... was it in the Shinto era?"

”... I've seen the same thing before.”

It seemed that Enn, who was looking at the tablet in the same way, thought so too.

Of course, there is a possibility that the materials are the same...

Scrub the surface with your hands and wipe off the dust.

This stone is quite special, unlike those around it, it hasn't decayed at all... I can read it.

Is it written... will (...)?

"I will rot, long live, but it is inevitable. Then my demons will eventually become the sky, the earth, the forest, and new life. Therefore, my life is not decayed. Ah, it's fun..."

That was the only sentence I had.

... my demon will eventually become empty, the earth, the forest, and a new life.

In other words... the Wonderland Forest was formed by the death of the Lord of this dungeon, who possessed tremendous magical power?

― ― Reminds me of what Refi said before.

The Witchcraft Forest is a land destroyed by God.

Refi told the inference that it was a monster that lived a long time before it was called a god... but from the size of this throne, I think it was a mistake.

"... no, wait. The connection with the Dragon Clan..."

Apparently, there was a connection between the forest and the dragons.

It is true that there are dragons who have lived in this forest for a long time, and it is obvious from what Refi said.

─ ─ Divine Spear Luin.

The gods he showed me.

God seemed to have several pillars, but there were certainly dragons among them.

Perhaps we should call it the Dragon of the Fathers.

I don't have any proof, it's just imagination... I wonder if the lord here was that dragon.

That would explain the mysterious connection with the Dragon Clan.

If one of the world's most powerful dragons, the one who became the ancestor, were to die, it wouldn't be strange if such a dense magic were to spread to form such a forest.

However, the throne here is a human-sized one--no, my wife, the old dragon she met on her way to the dwarf's house, and Grandma Cicerius were able to use humanization techniques.

Then it was highly likely that the ancestral dragon was able to use the humanization technique.

All the other gods were human-sized, so I think they fit there.

The size of the ceiling in this room is the size of the Shikuron clan.

I don't know anything about the Asura Golems here... but the ancestral dragon might have been a robot lover.

It's a stupid prediction, but, yeah, I'm starting to feel like I could be a friend.

- It's all just imagination.

There is no basis for anything, and the facts of the past are so far away that even long-lived species can't be traced.

All that can be done for future generations is to repeat the guesswork.

Still...

I see an uninhabited throne.

"... you're satisfied with your death, aren't you?"

The Lord here has lived a long, very long life... He must have been satisfied and finished.

That's what made me so asexual and happy.

Welcome back ~

"... I'm home"

When I and the already anthropomorphic En said so, my voice came back immediately.

"Welcome back! Nh, today you don't look particularly injured!"

"Welcome back. Have you harvested anything?"

"Oh, I knew it."

"... I looked inside the ruins. It was interesting."

Layla was the first to react to En.

"Ho ho! Really?" What the-- "

"Wait, Leila. I know your curiosity is throbbing, but your husbands have just returned." Maybe you want to take a bath, so I'll do it later. The mystery won't escape. "

"! Sure, that's right. Excuse me, can I take a bath?"

As usual, I answer with a little smile on my face at the inverted interaction between the two of them.

I will. Where's Refi?

"Refi, Iruna-chan--Iruna and the others forced me to go to the meadow area." It's almost dinner, so I think it's time to come back. "

Recently, the adult group stopped calling about the toddler group by attaching it.

Until now, there was no particular concern, but there was a daughter-in-law meeting a while ago, and the story appeared there. Since then, the three of them seemed to be paying attention to Lew, Layla, and Nell.

Surely, if it was your family... you wouldn't call on your own family or your own.

--Then, when I and En are ready to change, I'll leave the living room behind me.

Enn, who is walking next to me with a tattoo, looks up at me with a strange look.

“What's the matter?”.

"... mmm. Somehow, the Lord seemed happy."

"Hahaha, maybe."

Today... there were many good things.

It was a good day.

And we'll do our best to make tomorrow a good day.

I stroked the head of Pom Pom and En.
