We Live in Dragon’s Peak

After a quick pace of preparation, we headed west towards the kushalila realm in search of Louilala, whose news had been lost.

And.

"Hello! I'm here to play!"

We entered Kushalilla's castle with dignity.

”Ki, you guys!!”

Black Demon General Barbia is attacking us with murderous intent.

Damn it. We visited friendly, so we won't accept such one-sided hostility.

Well, over the sky, Leviathan swirled around to intimidate the demons, and we boarded Nemir and landed in the inner courtyard of the Demon King's Castle.

Still, we're not here to fight Kushalila.

"Yes, it's a souvenir. Thank you very much for your help in the early spring.”

With a smile on my face, I show the souvenir of the dragon peak I brought with me.

Precious liquor carefully brewed by the people of the Dragon Man tribe and fine woven fabrics woven from the fibers of rare animals. I also brought other local products that I think are unusual.

When we drop our souvenirs off Nimir's back, we raise our hands to show that we have no hostility.

Still, Barbia was as vigilant as ever in staring at us with murderous intent.

"Look, we don't even carry weapons, do we?"

"Bullshit! You humans don't have weapons, but the Dragon Man woman will have weapons!" Besides, can you believe the saying that they are harmless even though they are accompanied by red dragons and ancient dragons? "

"Hmm. If you say that, you'll be in trouble." But think about it. Mistral has only minimal force, so if we didn't get Nemir or Levaria to come here, we'd have to travel for decades. ”

"Ernea is right." I don't think I'd quarrel with you or the Demon King with one of these weapons. "

We boarded Nemir and Levaria, and in about five days we entered the kushalila kingdom.

On the way, the giant demon king had contacted me in advance, so I didn't get any quarrels from other demon kings or higher demon tribes.

However, I had not encountered many attacks from monsters and beasts, and I hadn't arrived so early when I was traveling on the ground.

That's why we can't help but notice that Mistral has minimal weapons to protect herself, and that she's bringing Nemir and Levaria with her.

"Besides, we want to thank Kushalila and all the demons." It was really helpful during the Demon King's Crusade. "

It was a relationship that had deepened in various ways in the Heavenly Mountains, and it was not much of a struggle with the demon tribe led by Kusharira in the first place. Nevertheless, I am truly grateful for your help in the demonic king's crusade, and I am willing to keep the agreement with Kusharilla.

That's why Barbia's murderous intent is wrong, isn't it?

When he had finished unloading all his luggage, Nimmia flew over my head in a small form. And when you stretch (yawn) heavily when you're tired, you relax as your long tail wobbles.

Instead, Levaria descended into the castle's courtyard.

The demons that were watching over Levaria in the sky descended along with them.

However, Levaria doesn't seem to care about the demons who gather around her to show vigilance, so she rests round to relieve the fatigue of her long journey.

"Thank you, Leviathan."

Hmm. Tell them that if the demons make a disturbing move, they will not be relented.

You're a Leviathan, aren't you?

The demon tribe was home to a good rest, and even threatened me.

I didn't let Ream and Fiorina accompany me this time, so Leviathan could really fight the demons if he wanted to.

The demons are experiencing the horrors of Levaria in various places, so even if they are vigilant, they will not try to do anything extra from their side.

I was convinced that we were in balance, so I didn't pass on Levaria's advice to the demons. Instead, let them know what we need from them.

“Well, we're just looking for our missing friend. So I asked if Kushalila and the demons knew anything about it.”

Now, don't hesitate to pick up your souvenirs. and again show the items that are brought with them. However, Euphoria, Nina, and Madeline had already captured the demons around them and started to force them to hand them over.

"As a shrine maiden, I will make it clear." We are only here to find people, as Ernesto says. Therefore, I will not compete with the demons. "

"Haha, you're right, Lord Ernea." We're just looking for a friend. ”

"At the same time, it might be rude to say that." If I was looking for people in this country, I thought I had to say hello to the Demon King, so I pointed my foot at him like this. "

We nodded to the words of Luiseine, Lila, and Sefina.

"There are agreements, and we can't move around Kushalila's country and its surroundings on our own." Come on, we're trying to move things forward in a friendly way, right? That's why you shouldn't kill me anymore. "

Show that we are not adversaries. [M]

But Barbia has never quelled her murderous intentions. So, when everyone was looking at what was going on, the demon appeared from the back of the Demon King's Castle.

A demon with a body like yours rushes straight to Balbia's side and hits something in the ear.

Barbia is getting more grumpy when she sees it.

I stared at the demon who had just used a message from someone and was about to shoot him in the eye. Only then did the demon turn pale.

This must be the nature of Demon General Barbia, Kusharilla's closest friend.

Like a demon race, it doesn't try to hide its murderous intent to intimidate others. Even if you are under his command, if you do something that hurts your mood, you will relentlessly commit murder.

Then, he usually shows off the difference between his ability to intimidate the opponent and the ability to defy even those who have been intimidated.

The relationship between up and down in the demon world is an exponent of the power gap.

When the Daigi finished his discourse, he quickly returned to the back of the Demon King Castle with his body shriveled.

Without letting go of the great demon, Valvia turns her gaze on us with murderous intent.

Your Majesty has asked me to guide you to the Jade Light.

I see. The demon just came to tell Kusharira's orders.

It was pathetic of the demon to be directed at a murderous intent to shrink his life just by conveying orders. and no time for sympathy.

Barbia returned her heel without waiting for our reaction and quickly began to walk towards the back of the Demon King's Castle.

"Whoa, whoa, wait!"

We rushed after Barbia.

But Barbia doesn't react to our voices.

That's definitely a guide I don't want to show you!

Kusharira ordered me to call out and allow me to enter the Demon King's Castle, but if I can't follow, I won't know. And if we get lost in the depths of the Demon King's Castle, I think we're going to let the underlings attack us or get in the way and stop us from reaching the Jade Light Room.

Kukukuku.

But it wasn't sweet of us, was it?

"What is the Ball Light Room?" Is it about the throne room? "

"I wonder? If the Demon King himself is going to greet me, is it the Throne Room?" I don't know much about places like this either. "

With me and Mistral at the forefront, we will not miss the steady and relentless pursuit of Barbia.

Was this castle built by the Demon King?

I wonder if this castle was built by the previous demon king?

Indeed, before Kusharira ruled this country, another demon king ruled it, didn't he?

However, somehow, the previous demon king who had advanced westward across the Heavenly Mountains was defeated by the Shrine Queen in the temple city, which is the hope of the human race.

Yufilia and Nina follow while looking at the interior, furnishings, and internal structure from a royal perspective.

"Wow, I'm getting nervous."

Lila-san, if you're uneasy, let's go hand in hand.

Thank you, Master Luiseine.

Rooseine and Lyra walked along the corridor in a nervous and curious way, holding hands together.

"Madeline, I'll take care of you."

“Thank you, Cefina. If the opponent is a demon, it won't help much as a priest."

If the Humans were the opponent, we could just make Madeline or Luiseine the only way to avoid a wild ambush from behind.

However, this was the Demon King Castle, the home of the Demon Clan. Since the demon tribe has no faith, even if the opponent is a priest, it will attack mercilessly.

That's why Sefina, who is good at reading signs, is now in charge.

Barbia is going to scatter us along the tangled corridor.

But while we're doing what we want, we're not missing out on Barbia.

Along the way, the door to the side room was suddenly opened to block the way, slaves rushed out from the intersection of the corridor, and we encountered many other obstacles, but we avoided them all perfectly.

"Tsk."

Barbia tongues openly.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I

We're getting past the daze, and the sabotage is starting to have a lot of fun.

Nevertheless, we continued to the end, after Barbia, to the depths of the Demon King's Castle.

And finally, we get to where we want to go.

At the end of the corridor, there was a strange great hall.

There is no door separating the corridor from the main hall. Instead, there was a boundary where fluctuations and light fluctuated.

Balbia dives into the great hall underneath its swaying boundaries.

Is it safe?

With a little hesitation, Mistral urged me with a bitter smile.

I don't think we're going to set up a dangerous trap because the sabotage we used to do was petty work.

”What do you mean, let me think?”

I was dealing with a demon tribe. There is always a possibility that if you are alarmed, you will be dragged under your feet.

But I was worried.

I hate the Dragon King, but I'm not going to harm him after this.

Out of nowhere, Kusharira's voice came.

Apparently, Barbia isn't trying to hide her hostility, but Kushalilla is willing to invite us as customers.

Well then, trust the Demon King's words.

First, I stepped into the great hall. [M]

It was a strange space.

A barrier of light that separates the corridor from the Great Hall. I thought so, but it was different.

Everything in the Great Hall was a space where light fluctuated.

The figure of Barbia, who had entered the room earlier, was ahead of the shaking line of sight.

Then, Kusharira existed before Barbia refrained from doing so.

That's right. In the first place, I can clearly see the fuzzy and faint sign of Kusharira even in front of me.

"I see, I get it." This mysterious hall is a place where Kusharira can make her presence known to her lord as the Devil King. ”

Usually, if I can't read the signs of Kusharira, even the subordinate demons can't read the signs of their rulers.

However, as a demon king, there were many occasions when I had to show awe to my lord. At that time, in this mysterious space, Kusharira must have made her existence clear and made the demons aware of the horrors.

I hate you. Don't call my name cheerfully.

"Oh, excuse me."

High demons don't like being called by others easily.

If we're in the middle of a meeting, we're still visiting friendly, so it's easier to follow the demonic traditions here.

"Everyone, it's okay." Because the Fairy Demon King also welcomes us inside the jade light. "

I'm not welcome.

Silence Kushalilla's complaint and I'll summon everyone.

Everyone in the Great Hall was just as amazed by the wonders of the room as I was, and by the clear signs of Kusharira.

"Hmmm. Is this space where the light fluctuates part of the existence of the Demon King?" The jade light, in other words, the mysterious light emitted by the demon king? "

Trouble, Dragon King

I think it's a picture star.

By filling this space with their own presence, Kusharira clearly feels the main body of the person entering the room.

Looks like Kushalila, the Throne Room.

I wait for the whole family to get together and say hello to Kushalila again.

Unfortunately, there were only Kusharira and Barbia between the jade lights.

I'm sure the other ministers are watching us carefully somewhere else.

But we're just looking for a friend. I don't think about bad tricks, and I don't want to make a scene.

What can I do for you?

From the deepest part of the ball of light, I could certainly sense the sign of Kusharira. However, I still don't see it clearly.

Well, if you stare deeply into your eyes, you can see it somehow.

Kusharira shows us her consciousness.

In my case, you look like a beautiful woman.

Why are you so beautiful?

I mean, whether that person is relative or friendly, it feels good.

Yaaaa

Nimia read my thoughts and laughed ridiculously over her head.

"Well, I told the Black Demon General." We're just looking for a friend. So it would be nice if we could find a friend and bring him home? "

Move things forward amicably. That's the goal this time.

Kusharira's response was shaken by my response.

What is a friend?

"Yes, this is Viscount Louilala, subordinate to the Giant Demon King!"

Without hesitation, I named my friend. [M]

Now, I was wondering how Kushalilla and Barbia would react.

After all, is that what you're after?

Unexpectedly, Kusharira recognized Luirala's existence.

Looks like you were guessing what we were coming for from the beginning.

On the contrary, we are more inwardly surprised.

Easily admitting Luirala's existence, what's in it for Kushalilla?

We confess that we are honestly looking for Louilala.

Kusharira tells me that she knows of Louilala's existence without hiding it either.

This is a rush that starts with Louilala.

Now, thinking about what to do next, Kusharira was the first to strike.

"If that bothers you, let me show you around." Balbia, take these men there. "

Got it.

Oh, my God!

Not only did you admit to knowing Louilala existed, but you also showed me where she was!?

Unexpected favor from the Demonic Clan, on the contrary, we are more aware of it.

If we take the lead and try to create a favorable situation, we'll be set up in a trap.

"Follow me."

Even though he was grumpy, Barbia escaped from the Ball of Light under the command of Kusharira.

We rushed after Barbia as we greeted Kushalila.

And then I saw further stunning.

"Wait, wait!" Please forgive me already

Oh, this is pathetic, isn't it?

After leaving the Demon King's Castle, we were guided.

The sight we saw in the courtyard of the splendid mansion is breathtaking to us.

Tris, a black-armed young man who collapses with a full body.

And the figure of Louilala who poked a murderous sword tip into Tris's nose.

Luilala! Tris!

I broke in between the two of them.
