Dungeon Defense (WN)

I'm finally out of the woods.

I fell to the ground and was strangely tired from being swept by a branch. Ivar made this doll out of his heart, so there's no risk of squirming, but you'd better take it seriously. It used to be, but still, my body was not just mine.

If I die, it's all over.

Maybe it's just a delusion. But so far, I have not left any possibility to bluff. It was the same this time. One way or another, I had to live.

“ ……. ”

Survive.

It turns out, a long time ago, I had only survived. It was a blurry memory, but there was definitely a time like that. Maybe it wasn't enough to kill them yet. Did you think it would matter if you were stuck with your life....

I liked that time. I could blame anything on someone else. I committed a murder much more freely.

Now I only wanted to survive the same. However, how much different the meaning of the word 'survive' was from that time. It's hard to say the same thing.

Life is easy, but death is hard.

I smiled small. I don't know what's funny, but a dry smile came out. In my arms, a moment ago, I took out the grimoire and tore it in two. Mana rises white and covers her whole body. The next moment, I was standing in the middle of the snow.

Everywhere I look, I see a field of white snow.

There is only one, an old hut that looks like it's about to collapse.

It was a picturesque landscape from the Dungeon Attack. Where Ivar's body is hidden. Ivar originally left his body on the bones of Dumesan in the Kingdom of Moscow. No human being could wash his eyes and search, and the nearest city had to walk here for three or four days. It's only possible to walk all night, and it's actually been more than a week.

Wallpaper in the wallpaper.

If the momentum had not entered the coordinates in the grimoire, it would never have come back.

“Ugh. Cold, cold... ”

I sniffed.

In the relatively warm central region of the continent, it fell into a remote, northern valley. My skin shrunk on its own. I showed up unexpectedly and the spirits looked up at me in the snow.

─ Who? Who came to our village?

─ Not human. It's not a silver lining.

─ An Unknown Stranger. Popular people's foresight.

─ To be jealous?

I waved my hand with a big smile. You hear the language of the spirits, but strangely, the emotions are not conveyed. Although this was normal, it was very unfamiliar to me, who had read her emotions naturally over the years.

─ I get the feeling he seems like a nice guy.

─ No. I heard that the prettier you smile, the meaner you feel.

─ Innocent times, romantic promises, and unexpected children. 36 hours of destruction and betrayal that cannot be watched without tears…….

─ Non cyclic.

─ Let's be cautious.

The spirits stare this way.

Maybe they were threatening and staring at each other. Cute. With summer approaching, all the cold spirits must have flowed to the north. Numerous spirits were raising their heads slightly like a mole game.

“Sorry. Coming through. ”

As I made my move, the spirits were furious and scattered to the four winds. Even though I smiled because I was cute, my face was stiff because of the spirits that would soon be in Castle Marquis. The children who have been with me since I first fell into this world. They would have perished along with the demolition of the Democratic City.

And Lapis.

“ ……. ”

Your face is blank. Yes. I didn't deserve to be happy about something. I'm the greatest villain who's ever loved, rich, sacrificed for his own good. Now that I've twisted my human facial muscles, I feel ridiculous and disgusting to myself.

Be white as snow.

Just live as haunted ghosts from the past.

This is the least I can do.

When I entered the hut, all sorts of groceries welcomed me. A cloak that regulates temperatures by itself, barrels of water that won't fall, and gold coins piled up with Ivar's dolls. If an adventurer discovers it, a pile of luxurious equipment is piled up to the brim.

“You have a meticulous personality. ”

I smiled bitterly and leaned against the walls of the hut. The cloak over my shoulder warms my body just right. However, the air on my face was very cold. Hundreds of years. Thousands of years of stagnant air sat quietly in a hut.

There's a big black tube in the middle of the room.

“ ……. ”

I was curious for a moment and lay down at the palace.

“Surprisingly comfortable... …. ”

The tube used by the Vampire was different, but something was different. A cushion. A fluffy leather is overlaid on the inside. I looked closely and saw that several passageways had been drilled.

“Haha.”

That's why I think he's really dead.

The corpse Dantalian appears here.

No. I can't call myself Dantalian anymore.... Dantalian died with Daisy. That was the best present I could give Daisy that recognized me. In the future, I needed to live under a slightly different name.

Jean Bolé? That's the name Frank used, but no. It was a little more famous. I liked a more mundane name, a more mundane name, like being drunk and watered. Well, I don't know what's okay.

“Mmmm.”

I struggled with the crown. If a third party sees it, it is quite postmodern. Looking at the impression of a constipated patient who couldn't poop properly for three days, I suddenly came up with a good idea.

Jacomo. Jacomo.

It was named after Jack Orland. When I changed Jack to Sardinian, I became Jacomo. I built a castle called Scruta on the spot, since Orlanda can't embrace a family civilization. It is roughly taken from the Ancient Empire in my current position.

Sardinia got caught up in the phone and there were quite a lot of refugees. I lived a normal life in Sardinia and fled for fear of war. So Jacomo Scruta. A man with a plausible story was created immediately.

I don't know if this alias will work.

There will come a time when we will go out and use it in the villages or cities of Humans.

“…… I see. ”

Even though we are in this position, we are still concerned about the future and planning.

I was really scared of habits. I don't have to worry about the future anymore. I wrote quite detailed plans and handed them over to Ivar. Ivar will take care of himself no matter what.

In the beginning, after this war, the Demon King Dantalian was supposed to step down from the front line. No matter what the circumstances, it was the adoptive daughter of Dantalian who broke the public order. If you acted as an imperial tyrant in good health after committing such a mistake, the empire would be fortified immediately.

Dantalian retires by half and takes a step back from politics. If so, Ivar can also play my role with his own political power. While it was difficult to manipulate and mock the continent, it was not so difficult for Ivar Lodbroke to maintain its current state.

If the continent is completely stable, then...... Ivar will decide.

I closed the tube lid slightly.

With the coffin covered, it was as if it had been cut off from the outside world.

Perfectly silent. It was a perfect darkness. You could call it pseudo-death. It was so narrow that there was not even a welcome here that was bothering me all day. I have now realized that if I stay too narrow, no visions will appear.

“ ……. ”

It won't be bad if you sleep forever.

It had been so long since I could not see the hallucinations or hear the hallucinations, I unconsciously thought that way.

I see. This is how I usually feel.

Something was awkward. Should I say uncomfortable or uneasy? It seemed like Pymon had to whisper love in his ear even now. I felt something new about myself being mentally ill.

I was fine until I got sick.

But when he started to cling to mental illness, he was already finished as a person.

I slowly fell asleep. How many people have slept at the palace? I took a deep breath the last time I remembered such a silly thought. I felt very, very close to the rest I wanted so much.

Quiet.

It was comfortable.

“Where the hell are you sleeping? ”

I opened my eyes to the sound of nonsense.

The tubing lid was opened. Ivar frowns a lot in front of his eyes, a blonde girl. I was still confused by the bribery and the accident.

“Ivar?”

“Yes, this is Ivar. Oh my... I was wondering where you went, but I didn't think you hid it in the coffin you left in the girl's room... You're not even a child. Now it's a little too much fun to come and play hide-and-seek. ”

What do you mean, "whack job"?

“You shouldn't try to run away from the meeting. The chieftains of Centaurus are already gathering in the conference room. It's been over ten minutes. What more uncleanness are you here for? ”

Ahh.

Yes, there was a meeting. There was always a meeting. There was always a meeting that felt like it had never been there. I crashed the coffin and came out of Ivar's bedroom. Outside the door was Lapis.

Laffith looks at me and sighs.

“Clothes are crooked, Dantalian. ”

I'm sorry.

As I smiled and begged for it, Laffith came at me silently. Close enough to each other's noses. There, Lapis skillfully tied my collar and tie.

“Dantalian usually doesn't care too much about his looks. Protect yourself as the Demon King. ”

Wouldn't it matter if you didn't have to make a face, because you're beautiful inside?

“…… you need a psychiatrist. ”

Sorry about that.

I went a little overboard.

“Here, here. The Lord seems to be refusing enough. Move on. ”

“Laura...... It's only because you always accept Dantalian's madness. ”

“What do you mean, Laffith's sister can't refuse the Lord when he asks? ”

Laura laughs.

It was a laugh that I really liked.

“Oh, I was late for a long time. Did my Dantalian grow up a lot? ”

“Barbatos. Don't lose your head in front of the anamfatha. ”

“You're on your own. I've done everything in my power to attend the meeting. ”

Barbato shakes his hand and raises his bottle. The Demon King who confidently drinks out of the Conference Room is Barbato, no matter how vast the world may be. Pymon sighs, covering his mouth with debt.

“I'm sorry, Dantalian. The girl dragged me somehow, but that's her attitude... ”

Pymon brought Barbatos?

What a surprise.

You don't have to say you're sorry. because it's a remarkable achievement that has already been recorded and transmitted in the history books.

“Ah, Barbato! Give me a bite! That's a hell of a lot of money! ”

“Pathetic. What are you going to drink from someone else's mouth? ”

“Huh? I'm good at banging other women and men. ”

“That's a great boast-. ”

Citrus and gummy bears.

It was a different scene than usual. If I find any difference, I don't know where I am. Barbato and Pymon grumble strangely softly at each other. When did you become so close?

“Father, here are the meeting materials for today. ”

Oh, right.

Thank you very much.

“You're welcome.”

Daisy bows her head with a soft smile.

I opened the meeting materials, I'm not sure. I didn't enter any letters in front of my head because I didn't know them all. What? You'll be fine. I was a very capable place to succeed in meetings without paperwork.

It was comfortable.

I came fully confident that this was my place. Yes, actually, I liked sharing this landscape with these people the most. Whatever it was, I was doing the right thing.

When I sat on the bench, people looked at me. Barbato is still grinning maliciously. Pymon squeezes his temples. Citri... Is she single? Gamigine was also single, but had a different meaning.

Laffith, Ivar and Daisy, though they can't see their faces, feel they're holding my back.

A smile was drawn on my mouth by myself.

All right, everybody.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Let's find another satisfactory solution today.

For all of us.
