Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)

I'm Thor.

Maki hasn't been able to come home, it was midnight.

I was comparing the map of the western continent to the map of this massive space, and I was going through all sorts of thoughts.

I'm the one who can't sleep when I start thinking about it.

Even though Lena made me a sleeping incense to bring it to me.

……

Kii, and when the door opened and I saw you, I saw Maki peeking through the gap.

She was asking how I was doing. It was like some sort of alarmist little animal, and I accidentally blew it out.

"Are you finally home, Maki? What are you doing... let's go in"

"... you're mad, aren't you?

Maki asks as he doubts.

I shook my head "no."

She opened the door softly and entered, already in Negrije, with her own pillow and folded blanket in her hand.

"What is it?"

"Pillows and blankets. Look, you know that."

"What are you going to do with that stuff? Are you going to camp?"

"Here's the thing."

She had a strange attitude.

Some parts are always tight, but I also see some anxiety and impatience tonight, unlike that.

Place the pillow on the long sofa on the side, spread the blanket and lay in it.

"Come on, you're going to sleep here."

"... I'm not going to be able to sleep alone today. You still work anyway, don't you? I won't bother you, I'm sneaking up here sleeping, never mind."

……

What the hell happened to her?

Maki was sidelined with no heart and seemed to dwarf himself.

"There's a dormant room next door."

"There's no point in the next room. It has to be someone's space."

……

Faced again, he reached the large desk chair with the expanded documents and maps.

Maki lowers the futon down to his nose and looks at this one and this one.

"So you're not hungry? I'll be home by dinner or something, and I'll be home in the middle of the night."

"... I just stumbled on you in the kitchen, so it's okay.... Thor, did you look for me?

"No. Angry?"

"No way. That's good. You have things to do, and I'm acting on my own... and I'm strong."

Maki laughed couscous.

And go on.

"Later, Tor. What do you think I was doing?

"Come on... I don't know anything about you"

"You know, I've been trying to figure out where this Ishmore is on the western continent."

……

Unexpectedly, Gatan stood up.

That's what I wanted to know, because I was going to look for it tomorrow.

"There was an exit at the roots of the great mound of Eyesmore. The location is... a group of old monuments at the westernmost tip. There, if the massive space can no longer be maintained and the demons are dewy, maybe we can hide from the Federation for a little while..."

"... what do you mean?

"Not so much a mountain, but there are tall rocks all over it. Long ago, it was like a secret lair, and some rocks were like dwellings.... and the temple."

"Who told you that?"

"General Cannon. He came to the same place later. I wonder if you're still in the temple... you know that place from the beginning."

……

I can't really read the story, but I see.

Is Ishmore directly connected to a group of ruins in that rock?

If the massive space disappears, then of course both Utopia and Cardia disappear.

Ishmore is my space, so I can manage it in me as a fantasy space, but I don't know how much I can keep living with so many residents now that I'm disconnected from Rubel Tower management.

In that sense, I thought if there was land that I could live on directly, I'd never have crossed it... but for a while, it's going to be a commute between Ishmore and that group of ruins.

"Whatever it is, it's a lot better than being thrown out into the desert. If you're going to be able to build a system tower with your country in secret for a while."

"... why don't you go check it out tomorrow too?

"Right."

"Hehe, you're not going to be a snowland anymore... the demonic country"

……

Maki was a loud voice.

Look up at the stiff ceiling and say it's the first time you've come to this country, but it's hard to forget.

"Nothing...... Ismore itself will not go away. This is my Fortress of Magic. I'd rather just kick out the heavy dwellers and make it my only kingdom. Keeping the living trapped in a fantasy space is actually pretty tough"

"... even if you're trapped, you'll feel strange"

"That's right. After all, it's better to live on the real earth of this world."

"Oh, that's a decent opinion for you."

"... what does that mean?"

Maki laughed again couscous and snapped the futon as it was.

"And yet, you, how can you not sleep alone? That's what's weird about you. Usually after eating guts, you're in big letters on the bed and you're sleeping gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Sleep with me or not.

But Maki says softly, "Because I'm scared..."

That's obviously weird. I'm guessing this guy hit a rockfall with a bunch of ruins from that rock.

"I... may have seen a ghost in that group of ruins"

……

"No, that's more a ghost than a ghost. Either way... yes, I've been turned. I really felt like my spine was freezing."

"... pup"

"That... what are you laughing at, Thor"

"No... because you. You... aren't the strongest and worst Mr. Maki. Are you afraid of ghosts?

"Huh? You must be scared, you know, beating or biting doesn't work for a millimeter. My attacks are mainly physical attacks... no damage to ghosts."

……

"If it's magic, like you, that involves half a mental attack, it would be good, but hey. Spirit magicians are more likely to use ghosts. Maybe it's like me... a magician who's afraid of ghosts."

"... scared scared, you, that guy... there was General Cannon too, wasn't there?

"He's half ghostly, too. Atmospherically…"

"You're a rude guy."

"... it means being“ halfway "and fluffy."

……

Maki's words were a little meaningful.

I think I heard the word "halfway” somewhere else today.

"Oh...... but me, I'm really very sleepy. So you can sleep here, right?

"... it doesn't matter. I'll sleep next door later."

"Then take me with you."

"... parents taking sleeping children in the living room to their bedrooms to do something like that?

"Yes, yes. That's what I'm saying. Fine, I brought home some fine information... so selfish... listen to me."

Maki fell asleep really quickly after saying that.

When I do that, I start to hear little sleeping breaths.

At all, while I think you're a handy guy... I'm horrified by the information that Maki took home on his own.

After all, Maki is very light and he only asks for a small reward from me.

Perhaps Maki won't say a word about "doing it for me”.

Yet he does what he needs the most with a face that doesn't eat.

I've been at work for a while, but the sweet-scented "Sleep Incense” weighs my lid.

Did you get the information you wanted the most, feel safe, and the magic started to work?

I grabbed Maki and took her to the next bedroom.

Put him to sleep in a decent bed and lay next to him dressed himself.

Hold down the elaborate eyebrows and exhale long.

Then, to my surprise, Maki clings to his hips...

"... stay with me"

But rather than a cute trick, Maki was roaring hard to sleep, seemingly powered enough to try to strangle something.

Perhaps she even dreams of something scary.

When you slap her on the back with a pom, her expression is very calm and her arm weakens.

I was horrified. Pretty serious.

……

Still, I've been trusted a lot.

Such a daughter makes me just a pillow and treats me like a good one.

But this kind of relationship still feels very nostalgic and loving.

What was there was trust in each other, reassurance and attachment.

"Good night...... maki"

If you're tired of being turned into something, I want you to at least have a good dream.
