We Live in Dragon’s Peak

The Titan's Demon King just glanced at the luxurious bedroom and immediately turned back his heel, exiting into the hallway.

"Hmm. Let's give this room to them."

"No, that's fine!

"Oh well, Herneau. You can't do without His Majesty's grace, can you?

"No, no, I'm not under the authority or anything of a giant demon king, so I'll let you say no to anything you don't want, okay? Yeah, why don't you give it to your loyal Luilara?

By and large, no matter how nice your room is, I refuse to believe that you are in the same room as Kushalila, loaded with gold and silver treasures like a mountain.

If I slept with you, I wouldn't know when I'd fall asleep.

So when I rub the favor of the Titan Demon King against Luirala, I get behind that and the bedroom.

By the way, isn't the Demon King angry at Astel for getting revenge?

I'm just curious.

Anyway, it's the giant demon kings and Charlotte who usually soak up the people around them in joy. And yet, this time, they ate a cup.

I fear only a little that the demon king of the angry giant may return to retaliate against Astel from now on.

But my worries were useless.

Sneak up and ask about the face of the giant demon king.

Then, instead of being angry, he was smiling.

"Heh heh, it's like Astel's way. If you wake up from a debilitation, let's say this one pays off."

Apparently, Astel has a personality that makes pranks without cowering at any opponent.

And the top demons like the giant Demon King and Charlotte also enjoyed understanding it.

Squeeze or be retaliated against.

Sounds like a pretty exciting relationship.

All right, I'll take revenge next time they do something!

"I don't mind, but it's about getting ready for the next thing. Only those who are prepared to be retaliated against."

"If it's boring revenge, it's a punishment, isn't it?

"I knew it, I stopped!

I have no courage or readiness to avenge a giant demon king or a golden great demon clan.

"So where are we going next?

Bedroom confirmed.

Well, the giant demon king doesn't seem willing to use it.

Besides, she said that payback for Astel was after she woke up.

So this concludes the inspection of the castle fortress? And thoughts.

"Ernea, what are you talking about? The real purpose is now, isn't it?

"What? Confirmation of the bedroom was a stopover, and you still had other destinations?

It's my first ear.

Where the hell are the giant demon kings and Charlotte going?

After the two of us left the bedroom, I leaned my neck.

Afterwards, he moved downstairs again and looked around at the various rooms and corridors.

This great castle fortress, not to say a maze, is built quite intricately.

If you don't know what's inside, you're going to get lost.

"You should pay attention to the daughter of the Ear Elder Clan and the Spirit of the Spirit Tree. If you get lost, you'll never get out."

"Ha! So is that. I'll tell you later.... No, wait? If I said that, wouldn't Priscia be happy to use stray techniques?

"Heard it, heard it."

"Ah!"

Shit. Lightly, I passed it on to Ares, Priscia's big best friend!

"Eh already! If the Titan Demon King hadn't said something weird, I wouldn't have thought of labyrinthine the castle in the first place, either, Priscia or Ares."

Because I've been told, I'm conscious.

And I passed it on to Ares. I've passed it on to Ares, which means I can't even get through to Priscia anymore.

How many of them will wander in the fortress that will be labyrinthine...

"Earlier, you were punished for laughing at your bedroom."

"Wow, that's retaliation. After all, it's terrible!

Earlier, I thought I was laughing and flushing Astel's revenge, too. Apparently, he was thinking about paying me back for laughing.

I won't be alarmed......

Even though I feel a little depressed, I look around the castle with the two of them.

At first I toured up and up the stairs, but now I wander around the castle as I descended downstairs.

Of course, it was going a different way than it came.

I have no idea which part of the castle we are in anymore!

You don't mind my confusion like that, you two go around a lot of places. I can't help but follow. [M]

Occasionally, he even went out into a courtyard surrounded by thick walls on all sides.

Even if it's a courtyard, it's about the size of an aristocratic mansion.

Such a courtyard was built in many places within the fortress.

And then we finally go further down the first floor into the basement.

Take the long cobblestone stairs and reach the dark underground.

There are no pine lights in the basement, and there are no skylights for lighting.

I have no choice, so I hold dragon qi in my eyes and stare into the dark.

The underground tunnel, which runs everywhere towards the dark, was built in the same way as on the ground side.

Unpopular, the giant demon king walks without precipitation through the quiet underground darkness.

Charlotte also follows, and opens the door that passes, looking around inside.

Even in the dark, the Demon King and Charlotte seem to have a solid view of their surroundings.

When I caught up with the two of them, we hung out together and looked around in a room with no light.

"Unlike on the ground, you have a lot of room for food and all sorts of stockpiles?

Only Astel has, special abilities.

Substance creation.

Whether it's a famous sword or a giant building, what a non-standard ability to create most things if it's matter.

However, special substances and life forms such as those typical of the seat of the soul spirit and the new holy sword cannot be created.

In other words, animals and plants cannot be produced.

And well, the basics are...

For some reason, it was Astel's ability to create food as a "substance" as well as water and alcohol.

And in the basement were stored tons of water and alcohol created by Astel, as well as food.

"Mm-hmm. It seems that the emperor of the Belisarius Empire is not only trying to destroy the kingdom of the people, but also the kingdom of the demons. Do you really think you can fight against demons like Astel who can produce inexhaustible supplies, or great demons like Demon King and Charlotte, and rulers beyond Demon King?

The mundane question passes.

Then the giant demon king stopped and looked back at me.

"I guess the emperor of the Divine Nation, knowing the situation of the Demon Nation, is still convinced that he can destroy this one. But it's shallow to laugh at it as a fool. If you know the power of this battle and you're still strong, you're prepared to do something about it."

"Or a rare giant fool, though. There's no way a great fool can calm down the kingdoms of the Divine Nation one after another and build a great empire."

"I see..."

The Belisarius Empire does not seem to be inexorably expanding its territory.

And from now on, we are about to invade the cultural areas of the people far west, and ultimately the demonic nations.

"Is it the Divine Clan? We have to be careful from now on."

"But that's ahead of us in overcoming this difficulty. If you seem to be at your feet about this, there will be no next step."

"Ugh. I'll keep my mind tight"

Well, I thought.

The Titan Demon King and Charlotte feel like they're looking around the castle without a neighborhood except for checking the bedroom.

But that's a little uncomfortable, isn't it?

The giant demon king said he knew Astel's habits. So even if I didn't have to look around so carefully, there should have been some consideration from the beginning as to where there was something.

And yet I can't believe you took so long to look around.

It's like, for our own curiosity, rather than to guide me through the structure of the castle...

Are you paying attention so that we can successfully use the fortress that Astel created in preparation for the upcoming battle?

I'm not an emperor of the Divine Clan, but maybe this tour is one of my important preparations.

"Thank you?

"Never mind. It's a pre-production distraction."

"I will look forward to thanking you for this."

"I don't know, it's going to be expensive"

We look around in the basement, we go up to the ground from a different exit.

The entrances and exits leading to the basement were also provided in various places, so that there were many stairs connecting the floors in the castle fortress.

I go further inside the castle, desperately sorting out the route I was guided.

Nevertheless, it's time to limit your memory.

"It's time to go back to everyone's place once and for all. I think the Mistrals are worried."

It had been a long time since I had made my first tour.

Or the sun is setting to the west.

If you don't leave before dark, everyone will worry about you.

To my suggestion, but the giant demon king pointed to the end of the fortress and said, "That's the last destination."

Follow the fingertips of the giant demon king with your gaze.

Then a tall tower was built there.

"The ambience, the construction, the atmosphere is different, right?

Of course, as part of the fortress, the tower is also robustly built.

But the columns just line up openly around the top floor, with no walls.

Moreover, the tower was about twice as tall, while the castle was five stories high.

"Come on, let's come before dark"

Charlotte prompted me to start over for the tower.

After all, the tower was clearly a different building from its surroundings.

Firstly, from the entrance on the ground floor to the top floor, there is no hierarchy inside. The stairs stretched up to the top against the internal walls that were blown out.

Upon climbing the long stairs, only the top floor, which could be seen from the outside, with columns lined with no outer walls, existed in the tower.

And when I got to the top floor, I was surprised.

"That's crazy? Astel should have told me about the girl in a cloudy way...?

Astel isn't the only one. Only to the demon king of the giants and some, did he speak of the girl.

Even so, I open my eyes when I see the conditioning set on the top floor of the tower.

Unlike in a boneless, murderous castle fortress, the floor is covered with fuzzy carpets.

The columns are sculpted with adorable animals and plants, and the ceilings are painted with beautiful landscapes.

And in the center of the top floor, there is one rocking cage sleeping area.

Even though it's spring, it's still cold.

A very warm looking futon was prepared on the bedside of the rocking cage.

Plus, countless stuffed animals are placed on the bench around the sleeping table, or there are toys in the box.

It's like a tower I've set up just for the girls who are going to visit the land.

But I didn't tell Astel about the girl.

And yet, why are you ready for this?

"Elnea, did you learn about your ancestors?

"Yes. The Initial Tribes are beings from whom temper and so forth have gathered over the years, right? And you're handing over the knowledge and abilities of those who left behind resentment, resentment and thoughts at birth?

The reason the ancestors are afraid is because they have a lot of knowledge from the start, or they have the magic of digits, right?

To my answer, yes, the Demon King snorts.

"Like Astel, many have special abilities. But there are other times when we inherit secrets from our ancestors that no one can tell us."

"A secret no one can tell you?

"That's right. No matter how much torture you suffer, no matter how long you see him dead, you have a secret you'll never let go."

"Maybe, from the beginning, Astel knew about the girl?

"You're more right about the girl than about the world."

"Mmm?"

"Kuck. Now, you don't have to understand deeply. If you knew everything while you were young, you'd be free for the rest of your life, wouldn't you?

"So is that."

How did Astel know about the girl?

And the girl's secret, it seems, is to connect to the world.

I'd like to know, but from the demon king's story, you'll never hear it out.

Watching the sun set on Dragon Peak in the west, I thought of the wonders of my ancestors on the top floor of the tower.
