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

Check the surroundings and see if there are any other hostile reactions.

There were still tilapia and bugs, but apparently that was all that remained. Soon, the interior of the ruins was cleared.

"Fu... thank you very much, Spirit King." Thanks to you, I was able to leave this ruin in shape. If we had fought together, we would have fought to the death, and if we weren't good enough, we might have collapsed the ruins. "

"Fu, your subordinates are excellent, but especially your subordinates are a little bigger."

The Spirit King looks at my Pet Legion with a pleasant voice.

Because I have a powerful person in front of me, I can feel a little nervous. It's only Seimi's attitude that doesn't change.

Speaking of which, even though they knew about the Spirit King, had they never spoken directly like this before?

Well, I don't have a choice.

Besides being a monster, I was probably more sensitive to that kind of strength than myself.

"Thanks to you guys." I'll be fine later... it'll be narrow inside, so please wait outside. "

As they did so, my people screamed and walked out of the ruins.

--Finally, I can afford to look around in detail, and I look inside the ruins.

This is... different from the ruins in the western area of the Wonderland Forest.

The structure and shape are completely different.

There's no throne, or at least, it doesn't seem like it's about dungeons.

"Do you know what kind of ruins this place was, Spirit King?"

No, I don't know much about stones. However, I have seen the form of this ruin before. Perhaps it was made by the human seed of this land. At this scale, the king... is he the emperor here? And it shall be made by such a man of power.

I see... I don't know when, but somebody from the Rogald Empire built this place.

Sure enough, compared to the ruins in the Witchcraft Forest, the weathering was still weak.

It must be a relatively new ruin than that one.

'But one thing I don't know is this living golem. This is using Shinto technology (...). how the hell did you prepare it...? "

"Oh, that's probably due to the dungeon function." I can't do it... but maybe the emperor who built this ruin was familiar with it. "

Hmm? Does this country have anything to do with the Labyrinth?

"Ah. It seems that the Emperor of this country inherited the Dungeon Core from generation to generation, and the Demon King also did it." Now that I've inherited it, I've absorbed the dungeon core, so the emperor that will be born will not be the demon king anymore. "

... I wonder how long I'll be the Emperor.

Since it's a promise, I'm going to do as much as I can, but it would be quite unhealthy for the emperor to be in the country forever.

Since this is my territory, I'm not going to let it go... mmm, let's talk to the Demon Realm King.

For now, why are you here?

"Hmm, I heard that the human powers in the south have changed somehow. Interestingly enough, when I came to see it, I could feel signs of remembrance from all over the place - the signs of your duke. I thought that this was the case, and I saw a lot of things from a while ago. Is this country your kingdom now?”

"Well, that's right. I'm the emperor now." A lot of things... there really are a lot of things, and that's what happened. It's a long story, but.... "

'Good. Good. We have time. And it shall be in abundance. If you have time, let's hear it. - Sit down. Let's sit down and talk. "

In saying that, he brings forth light, and brightens the darkness of the ruins, and creates fluffy tables and chairs where there is nothing.

The use of magic is fashionable.

I sit in the chair he gave me, and he sits face to face again.

... I don't know if it's appropriate to sit or not to sit with him if he doesn't have the flesh.

--Then, first, I will tell the spirit king about the past.

First of all, the Rogald Empire.

What is happening and why is this country now?

Next, in the dwarf town.

Go over there and find out what happened and what you found out.

And the ruins of the Witchcraft Forest I found the other day.

My thoughts on the place.

{I see... you know that, don't you? The mission of the labyrinth lord and the gods. "

"Ah. Ask Luin, the Divine Spear." That god was a delightful man. In the future, if someone asked me about religion, it would be interesting enough to think that I would answer Lewinism. The doctrine is, "Fulfill your life." "

Fulfill your life.

Sacrifice your life.

That is the duty of the living.

His words are still in his heart.

It is a divine word that has more complimented than ever before on living.

I've always believed in spaghetti monsters, but I finally converted.

From now on, I am prepared to live as a believer in that god.

Ku, Ku, Luin-sama was definitely that kind of person. Fun, joke-loving, he admired his life forever. ”

"I like jokes... I see. There was also such a thing."

It was the first time I met him.

I guess that's the kind of god I liked.

And... this Jiu-san knows about them.

The Spirit King has really lived such a long time.

"Hmm. Even so, I was born near the end of the Shinto era. So, you don't know everything. Especially as far as the circumstances of his struggle with each other are concerned, they are as unknown as your lordship. It is only because of faith that each one of them fought for what he believed in."

"... I see."

"Well, even after such a long life, your wife, Leficios, is superior to me." The dragon race is very powerful from the seeds... but this is the first time in my long life that it has happened. ”

"... Lefi said that if I did it with you, I would almost certainly lose in the human body right now."

Hmm? But if I were a dragon, I wouldn't have a chance.

"No, actually, he can't go back to the dragon." Um... maybe pregnancy is the only reason I can stay in the human body. "

Then the Spirit King looked at us with astonishment.

Oh, I see! It is a sight to behold. What are your plans for childbirth? ”

"Originally a dragon race, but now due to the special state of the human body, I don't know the exact plan, but maybe it will be more than a year and a half later"

{I see... I see! I heard very good news. When the sun approaches, please let me visit your labyrinth again. "

"Oh, I'm glad. He'll say a few things, but he'll definitely be happy inside."

Illuminated.

Yeah, I can easily imagine that.

"Um, um, no, no, what a pleasure. What good is the gift... my power... no, is it somewhat innocent? and then it was either an amulet or a thing to protect itself......]

I smiled bitterly at the Spirit King, whose relatives Ji-chan seemed to be troubled.

I appreciate you bothering me, but it's still a long way off.

"What are you talking about, a year and a half?" The name of the Spirit King will be abolished, such as the birth of a child, the greatest celebration of life, and the inability to give gifts. And you have to be ready. "

Oh, I see... a year and a half is such a short time from this person.

"Ahh... thank you very much, but I'm glad that you're feeling good." Anyway, you don't have to do that. ─ ─ Well, more than that, why is he so powerful?

As for those who give gifts, it feels strange to say anything, so I ask them to be a little misleading.

'It shall be a kind of ancestral return. Leficios resembles the ancestral dragon, Lukinellias. "

"Lukinellias..."

Is that... the Dragon God in the first eight pillars?

[Hmm. It was different in gender and character from Leficios, but it had a similar great power, and it had a similar nature of flesh. And unlike other gods whose mission is to make the world prosperous, Lord Lukinellias has a different mission. In other words, it is the protection of the world. "

... so much so.

So, the Dragon Clan is strong enough to isolate itself from other creatures.

"The guesses you made earlier are correct. It was Lord Lukinellias who had made that forest his home. He was the one who built the Dragon City, but I heard that he liked the place and made it his final residence. Incidentally, perhaps it was Doverg, the god of the dwarves, who made the Ashra Golem."

Huh? Really?

The Spirit King nods.

I don't know how it happened, but from their personality, it seems that Lord Lukinellias said, "I want to make the ruins look good," and Doverg accepted and made it. If it had been lined up, Master Lukinelli would have liked it and begged for it. And Master Doverg also made it with a sigh of relief. ”

I don't know how it happened, but it's like I remember the sight of the Spirit King with a pleasant appearance.

- Yeah, that's good.

The same sight comes to my mind.

Perhaps Ryujin was as pure and innocent as a child.

There was no basis for that, but the words he wrote about the ruins of the Witchcraft Forest made me feel that way.

And the Dwarf God that he asked him to make, even though he said with his mouth that it was totally useless, in fact, it must have been made in Norinori.

Because the golem over there was all elaborately crafted, without compromise.

"They were so close, weren't they?"

{Hmm. It was a good... gods. And they were to be celebrated, and they were to be loved. ”

And there are many things spirits and kings talk about.

He talks about what he saw and heard in the world and what I know.

Before, Iruna told me that this person was called "teacher" in her town, but she really knows a lot of things, and she talks well, and her words come to her mind very smoothly, and it's most interesting.

I'm a typical idiot who didn't study seriously in my previous life... but it's interesting to think that I might have liked studying more if I had this person's class.

In that way, the story is very exciting, and my pet and psychic cat Bikku are coming from outside.

“What's the matter, Bhaiyak?”

"Naaaaaaaaah!"

She said, "It seems that the soldiers are in a hurry, so why don't you come back and report back...?" ”he chirped with disdain.

... by the way, I was just at work.

"I'm sorry, Spirit King! I'm sorry, but I have to return to the report once." - Yeah, you said you were interested in the city. Shall we go see the Imperial City together? With me, you wouldn't be surrounded by soldiers. And simply, I want to talk more. "

That's very kind of you. I'd really like to ask you. Because it's highly likely that I will scare you by myself. "

◇◇◇

Then, after leaving the ruins with the Spirit King, I will return to the citadel city with my pets.

Somehow, she was worried about me not coming out of the ruins, and she seemed to be struggling a little to get out or not, and some of the soldiers were in a hurry.

It seems that Bhaku, who watched the situation, called me up to distract me.

You've done a terrible thing.

The talk with the Spirit King was booming, and this thing was out of my mind.

"For now, there are no more problems with the ruins." We've eliminated all of them, so there's no problem if we resume the excavation. I'm sorry about the wreckage, but you need to dispose of it. "

"Oh, yeah, of course, thank you. I just want to say thank you for your help... but, uh, what about you?"

The first time we met, he, the highest commander of this citadel, looked at the Spirit King with a twisted face.

She has a face that looks like she has a stomach ache.

"This is my friend, Spirit King Ig = Drajir." Don't be rude. This guy, I'll be honest with you, he's a dozen times stronger than me. "

Ig = Drajir. I'm a little interested in your country. I would be grateful if you could give me a tour. "

"Oh, I'm so in awe, you're a friend of the emperor."...... erm, may I contact the Imperial City first? "

"Oh, I'm rather begging you. I'm sorry."

After all, this person's existence seems to be quite rare not only for humans, but also for other human species, and the soldiers of various countries in this citadel city uniformly look at this.

The demons and beastmen who were sensitive to the strength could see the extreme power of this person, but their faces twitched.

It's quite diverse, isn't it? It seems that there are many soldiers of other races, but isn't this the only one? ”

"Yeah. I knew the political situation wasn't stable yet." I've heard that I'm going to slowly reduce it, but it will be ahead for a while. "

"It's hard to create a country where other races live." I have also seen several countries that were created under such a will, but due to the difference in the nature of the species, they have all collapsed internally. Differences in habits and differences in longevity are so difficult. ”

"... yes, I think so too."

Of course, the longevity and differences in habits will be really big.

It was the same in previous lifetimes, but what can I eat and what can I not eat for religious reasons, for example?

Due to regional differences, what is the implicit understanding and what should not be done?

Though trivial, such differences in consciousness exist in habits that are important to these people, and they easily become a spark of contention.

If the races become messed up, they will have to decide things according to the habits of each species, so you will understand how difficult it is to talk about it.

{However, this sight... is not bad. This is a way of spending time together, with many species lining their shoulders. That is the kind of goodness that evokes the Shinto era. I hope your trials will work out well. "

"--Oh, I'll do my best."
