We Live in Dragon’s Peak

It was not until some time after the sun set that we returned to Demon King's Castle.

"Thank you, Lily."

"Thank you for the cheap."

As he labors Lily, who has traveled back and forth between the Castle of the Demon King and the Embargo, the Demon King reveals himself in the courtyard.

"What, you're home already"

"Yes, I just went out to run some errands"

"Well, errands that can be done in less than a day are rare for them. So, what kind of errand was it?

"It's a secret!

Tell me, I walk away from the demon king.... could not!

and the demon king grabbed me by the collar, and I am lifted like a pretty kitten.

"No, it would be better to describe it as a dragon, not a kitten, if it were you"

"Either way, let go"

If it's Niemia, it's just ringing "nya".

To my plea, the Demon King let me go, laughing.

"So, what have you done?

"Yeah...... Where's Charlotte now? Can you hear from him later, please?

"I see. You asked me to run errands on that one"

"Yes, it's for wild life"

With that said, the Demon King had not pursued it in depth.

Charlotte, it's tangled, so are you expecting the rest of the fun?

Whatever it is, I'm free to check Charlotte's location again.

"I'm more obsessed with Charlotte than I am with my parents."

"What!? Could something have gone wrong?

It felt like the big banquet last night, and I thought the Fathers Union could interact with the Demons without any problems.

No way, the Demons kidnapped me for not being able to attend the banquet or something!?

Or did Mr. Askles of the Dragon Nation take centre stage and the commotion broke out?

"You can only imagine the noise."

"Because the Demon King says things that make you worry..."

After lunch, Ufiria, Nina and Madeleine, who finally lost their alcohol, are raging cheerfully behind my back.

Apparently, it's because of you that I drank too much, and I'm pressing for responsibility.

Oz had turned the Demon King into a stone statue before him.

Staring at it, I'm having a conversation with the Demon King.

The Demon King told me about the Union of Fathers, grinning at my bustling family.

"That was exciting until noon. And in the evening, we're having another banquet."

"My fathers are taking care of me..."

"You don't have to worry about it. The ministers were busy working here with Charlotte slapping them in the butt. He's taking a good breath."

"Charlotte's really good, isn't she?"

"It's hard to be too good."

"Your men are dying of overwork."

You can't even doubt Charlotte's arm, can you?

That's the closest I've ever been to serving the oldest demon king. Assign the Grand Marshal of the Allied Demon Army, or support the Demon King as Prime Minister.

I'm sure he has the qualities to be a demon king if he wants to. And yet, is that man truly a demon tribe that is loyal to the demon king of giants?

"That suggests that I don't have a vessel that just turns loyalty, does it?

"No, not at all!

I'm in a hurry to deny it.

Behind him, three drinkers who found out the banquet was still open tonight were about to head to the venue. And Luiseine, Lyla and Mr. Sefina are working hard to stop the three of us from moving.

Oz is still petrified.

"... So, where's Charlotte?

When Ufiria and Lady Nina and Madrine are aligned, the rampage can no longer be stopped.

How hard it is for these three to be together. We were finally starting to feel it.

No more, Priscia and Ares are more than raging around fine.

Well, still, I haven't caused any noise involving anyone but my family, and I tolerate everyone getting busy, so there's nothing wrong with just the noise.

I, too, think every day is exciting and fun. [M]

"That's good. The most repentant thing in a long life is loneliness. Loneliness sees the spirit and degrades the soul. Let me tell you, how admirable it is that witches and others can remain so lonely."

"Is the witch lonely?

Seems like you've been watching your beloved apprentice grow up, Mr. Arda?

"That's a lonely body. There will be things you can call friends, including me, but there will be no one to live with beside you."

"Are you lonely without family, even if you have a best friend or apprentice"

"It's the difference between being able to forgive your heart or not."

"Mmmm. I think I can forgive you for being my best friend..."

"But you're not telling your best friend, the brave man, everything, are you?

"... right"

Witches also have best friends like their beloved apprentice Arda and the giant Demon King, don't they? But what the Demon King wants to say is that in the life of someone with a long life, you need a "body" that can expose everything, including secrets and shame?

So is it a pattern between the Demon King and Charlotte that can expose everything?

The demon clan, called the oldest, and the nearest side that keeps standing beside it. I'm interested in the relationship between you two.

The Demon King laughed with pleasure as he read my heart.

"Is it about me and Charlotte? Then you should check with your own eyes. Now Charlotte will be in her own office."

"You're still working, aren't you?

"Looking forward to tomorrow morning."

"A pile of paperwork!

The Demon King is other personnel style, isn't he?

Well, well. It's the ministers who face the pile of paperwork.

As Chancellor, Charlotte works to keep the Demon King's hands out of trouble.

"Elnea, shall we go see Charlotte then?"

"Right."

"Ah, Mr. Mist. I can't believe you ran out on your own!

"Hawa, Master Ernea. I'm here for you too!

"Louiseine and Lyla would like to join Sefina in asking for three eyewitnesses."

Ooh, it looks like Mistral, who had been stationary about everything since just now, succeeded in running out.

Mistral takes my hand and pulls it with or without me.

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

And when he smiled and greeted the Demon King with a hug of Oz, who had solidified to the end, he took me into the castle.

"Haha, you're so strong"

"Sometimes?

Heh heh, hand in hand with the smiling Mistral, walking in the castle.

By the way, I don't know anything about Charlotte's clerk's office. Mistral and I succeeded in getting a servant to guide us along the way.

Demon King Castle is large and large. In the meantime, Charlotte's office, the closest to the Demon King, must be on the upper floor, combined with showing majesty.

It wasn't.

"The Chancellor is busy, so keep your room in the middle floor so you can give instructions right away."

That's what the servant who guided us told us.

And as the word goes, walking down the hallway extending into the middle of Demon King's Castle, a figure of purpose appeared from the front.

"Welcome, Herneau, Princess Dragon."

Walking down the hallway without even turning on the lights is Charlotte, a laterally curly blonde thread demon clan.

Charlotte showed up after work as if she had expected us to come.

The servants who walked next to us, after Charlotte, passed by. They all had mountainous paperwork.

"Signs were coming from the courtyard, so I thought it was time to come over."

"Exactly."

Though at night, there must be thousands of demons and slaves in Demon King Castle. I can't believe you're reading our signs accurately from within.

"So, could you have the example?"

"Yeah, I even finished decorating it, so I brought it. I'm sure the Demon King will fall in love, too. And you had a tough time getting tangled up with the Demon King earlier, didn't you? If you think of anything in your head, they'll read it."

While I was in conversation with the Demon King, I tried to forget about your mirror. Because of that, I didn't expose myself to the Demon King.

I'm sure that the noise that everyone was making behind it was also a manipulation for the Demon King not to read his thoughts.

If you were making a scene, I wouldn't think of your mirror.

Charlotte listens to my report as she loosens her mouth. And I urge Mistral to show me your mirror.

Mistral lowered the oz he held to the floor, and as he explored his baggage, he took out his mirror, which was wrapped in silk bath lots of weights.

Charlotte stares quietly at the mistral as she carefully unwraps it.

Oz, who was unloaded on the floor, was regaining his movement, whether it was because he was freed from the signs of the Demon King.

And I don't hesitate to smell Kun and Charlotte.

No, no, because Charlotte is a great demon, too.

You don't know what happens when you're crude, do you?

My concern, Oz keeps smelling Charlotte. And Oz looked up at Charlotte, wondering why.

Charlotte, who was watching Mistral's task of carefully widening the silk bath, moves her thin eyes to her feet when she notices Oz's gaze.

Charlotte and Oz staring at each other.

At the next moment, Oz, kicked by Charlotte as he let it go, flew off to the end of the long hallway.

Look, I'm not telling you.

No, I didn't tell you.

"I advise you to throw away the little dirty warcraft early, don't you?

"No, Oz polished your mirror, didn't he?

Poor Oz. Your efforts do not seem to have been conveyed to Charlotte.

He doesn't seem interested in Oz, who disappeared before dark, and Charlotte puts her gaze back in front of Mistral again.

I was just about to see your mirror represent the shape from behind the silk bath.

"Oh well, this is..."

Charlotte sighs rarely.

back with elaborate sculptures. The mirror has a beautiful finish scattered with star blinks.

Charmed by so much beauty, Charlotte reached unconsciously and tried to touch the mirror.

But you gave it back to me there, I can pull my hand in much better.

"As promised, we haven't cleansed the witches yet, have we?

"Ha ha. It still sounds like Charlotte's weakness is sacred. But don't worry. I haven't cleaned the last one yet."

Charlotte does not like sacred things, as she did not touch the fragments of the mirror that broke in the Nine Tails Temple.

The Great Demons have weaknesses, too. Or can you expose us to such weaknesses?

"Okay, if Charlotte becomes the enemy, you just have to get everything sacred. There's Louiseine and Madeleine here!

I deliberately stuck my weakness in, but Charlotte fights back with an extra grin.

"Mr. Ernea, you've noticed a good point. Because I cannot destroy a witch or a sacred thing rather than touch it. If my life were to be targeted, I would recommend hiding behind your daughter-in-law at once."

"Ha! That would save your life but your majesty as a husband would die, wouldn't it!?

Oh, my God.

Charlotte can't get her hands or feet on Louiseine and Madeleine, but I want to tell you that it's easy for me to kill her.

Looking at me pulling her face, Charlotte smiled with a satisfactory narrowing of the thread.

And once again, I stare at your mirror all the time.

"Excellent work. This is impeccable."

"You mean it's okay to show it to the Demon King?

If you can get Charlotte tattooed, then clean it up and show it to the Demon King. And I'm just going to dedicate myself to the Nine Tails Temple.

But Charlotte never replied to my confirmation. Instead, he leads us to a certain place.

Encouraged to follow us, we will travel through Demon King's Castle.

Along the way, Oz, kicked by Charlotte, was turning his eyes and fainting at the edge of the hallway, so he asked a servant who had guided him so far to take care of him.

"Where the hell are you going?

If you think you've come up from the courtyard to the middle level of Demon King Castle, where the hell are we going to be taken down the stairs again?

Charlotte, who leads the way, told me without looking back.

"To the treasure trove"

"What!?

Why are you suddenly trying to show us to the treasure trove?

I don't think you're going to tell me to deliver your mirror to the treasure trove!?

"No, I thought I'd reward you for responding to my request, Ernea."

"Is it true?

I don't really trust the Devil's words.

Or how much of a position of prime minister can I take the liberty of guiding outsiders to the treasure trove to reward them?

Nevertheless, I can't stop Charlotte from moving on, and Mistral and I have no choice but to follow.

Charlotte, who aspires to be in the treasure trove that it's underground, even though she hasn't even heard about it, began to talk about the giant demon king.

"Your Majesty, when the superior commands you to change your country, you will first go on your own."

"Without taking Charlotte? Why?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, alone. The reason for this is to put the treasure at rest. See, you know the armor of the Nine Demons, right? Your Majesty has retained one of them."

"Is General Jiu's weaponry a treasure?

A demon swordsman who let him escape in the kingdom of Yortenitos was equipped with the full body armor of the Nine Demons, wasn't he? And now they're attacking the mighty from one end in the north.

Indeed, for the Demon Nation, General Jiu's weaponry is a device that demonstrates immense power. But is it enough for the Demon King himself to have to go to his new country alone and put him to rest?

Charlotte nods to my question.

"Your Majesty's holdings of Heavenly Thunder feathers have a secret."

"Secret?"

What the hell kind of secret is that? I mean, why did you suddenly tell me that story?

Before we had a few questions, we reached a treasure trove built deep underground.

In front of the treasure trove, the formidable demons were on guard. But we have Charlotte, the prime minister.

Charlotte commands the demons of the guard to unseal the treasure trove.

When the multiple seals are unsealed, we lead Charlotte into the treasure trove.

It was already a mountain of gold and silver treasures.

It looks like a demon tribe, lined with a host of different pieces of equipment. In addition, various national treasures, such as treasures that would have been robbed from the Divine and other races, ornaments and works of art, were kept narrowly.

"Please, take whatever you want home. It's a shame I'm just keeping it here. Look, the Devil's Sword over there is a precious item, isn't it?

"No, no, you don't need a demon sword or anything!

Or it's too luxurious and rotten to just look at and be hungry. We can't have that.

Does Mistral feel the same way about me, just because the treasure lined up in the treasure trove blinds me, I didn't even try to touch it.

Charlotte sighs when she sees us humbly, "Because of this, it's a waste".

"... so, what's the real purpose of leading us here?

"Oh, I told you, didn't I? I'd like to reward you."

"No, that's an absolute lie, isn't it?

It's time to ask what Charlotte is thinking.

I don't think it has anything to do with the weapons of the Nine Demons we talked about on the road.

Charlotte, however, once again goes behind the treasure trove without responding to this question.

And we got there.

"Is this...?

At the bottom of the treasure trove, it was there.

This is the only heterogeneous space in a treasure trove lined with luxurious gold and silver treasures.

An altar such as the one behind the temple, not worthy of the treasure trove of the Devil Nation, was set at the far back wall.

"Now give me the mirror"

When Charlotte says so, she receives her mirror from Mistral.

No, I took it before Mistral reacted, to be precise.

"Charlotte, give it back. What are you going to do with it?

Suddenly he snatches his mirror and Mistral stuffs it to Charlotte with a crease between his eyebrows.

Charlotte stood on the altar when she lightened such a mistral.

"I cannot touch or break anything sacred by a certain curse. So how long have you been waiting for this time?"

"What are you talking about!?

Hehe, and Charlotte smiling as usual, for some reason now I feel horrible.

"But finally, the time has come."

Charlotte unleashed her magic when she laid out the mirror she had taken.

An underground treasure trove is filled with a golden glow.

And the magic of gold is reflected in the mirror and dazzles behind the altar.

"Huh!"

The ground sounds come from under your feet.

At the same time, the golden magic passed through a wall that should have been behind the altar.

Apparently, there was another hidden space further back where we thought we were at the bottom of the treasure trove.

"Finally...... Finally, you can get your body back. You can regain the magic that was sealed. Thanks to you, Ernea, for everything."

Charlotte smiles and steps into the newly emerged room.

Me and Mistral can only stare at the transformed Charlotte of the atmosphere, deprived of their physical freedom by the golden magic.

Charlotte walks away.

There rested a woolly golden feather, as if it were Charlotte's hair, and a golden treasure ball.

"Elnea, do you know? Once upon a time, His Majesty was active as a General of the Nine Demons. His Majesty lost his heavenly lightning feather during the battle against the Demons of the Nine Tails. But then His Majesty made a new Heavenly Thunder feather coat. Use a piece of my body."

Nothing you can do. In front of me and Mistral, Charlotte takes the golden feather coat. And weave feathers.

"And. His Majesty sealed my magic on a treasure ball. Is it correct to say, precisely, that the tremendous amount of magic that remained in the body stripped from me was sealed in the treasure balls?"

Charlotte then grabs the golden jewel.

"I mean, this Heavenly Thunder Feather is part of my body and the treasure balls are my soul"

Charlotte swallowed the treasure balls when they were in her mouth.

"Oh, welcome home, my body and my soul"

The golden magic that was filling the treasure trove converges behind Charlotte like nine tails.

"Who are the demons of Kyouo..."

"Yes, that's about me"

Heh heh heh heh, look at Charlotte smiling in a good mood on top of this, me and Mistral despair.

In front of us, the Nine-Tailed Demons were resurrected.
