Welcome to the Premium Alliance! ~ Billboard daughter's beloved elf soothes everyone's heart ~
Let's go to Demon King's Castle! Second part
Afterwards we all had tea time with fun and bickering. Mr. Kron's homemade scones were so delicious that not too sweet cream and jam went hand in hand......! Eat something delicious and don't blow your worries away, too. It's simple me!
"Well, Meg. I'm sorry, but I have to get back to work."
Drinking milk tea well and dusting it, the Demon King said that he didn't like it anymore. He's a demon king who still hates his job. Mr. Kron's eyes are my heart. I'm shooting out the Demon King colder than usual...
"I'm going to take a look at this guy's work a little bit too... Kron, can you ask Meg?
"I'm sorry. I have to keep an eye on Master Zahariash."
Whoa, if I did, I'd be in the way! I could wait alone, I insisted, and that was instantly rejected.
"I don't know what's lost."
"You're so cute, you can't! I don't know when or who's gonna grab it!
"Master Meg is here because of you, so we can't let you waste your time"
It was a threesome reason, but I knew I had it all in my opinion that we can't all do it for now. So what do we do? If I thought so, Mr. Kron told me to ask for an understudy.
"I am an old man, but I have a suitable person who is friendly, polite and relieved to leave Master Meg to me. I'm the Chancellor."
Wait, wait, wait! Prime Minister!? Well, that just seems like a very busy image!? Your father told me before that you were turning into a demon king who tends to throw jobs away and practically the prime minister is partitioning this country... Wow, let the prime minister babysit or something? No, it's not good!
"Meg, well, I know what you're trying to say somehow, but for once, you're in a position to be the next Demon King, and I think you can have face-to-face knowledge with the Prime Minister of this country. Personality is fine, and don't worry."
"Oh, yeah? But... is that good? I'm sorry..."
I'm afraid I can annoy the hands of such a great man. When I say that, I always get the greatest demon king to babysit me, but that's it. When it was shrinking, a cool voice was heard from behind.
"No problem. Instead, let me guide you, Master Meg."
Turning to those who spoke, there was a gentleman there with orange hair all back. He dresses in a camel suit and releases some competent aura. Is this the Prime Minister? I have no sense of being old like Mr. Kron said, and a good posture and no gap standing is just Gentleman! I fall in love with the undisputed Ikeoji.
"Greetings, sorry I'm late. I am the prime minister of this country, my name is Hudrich. Feel free to call me Hugh, Dear Meg. Are you unhappy with such an old age?
"And it was outrageous! It's Meg! Nice to meet you. Whoa!
I hurried back to say hello, too, dodging Hugh, who greeted me so well with a wink of tea. You're lying about old age!?
And right now, Mr. Hugh is pulling my hand and I'm on a tour of Devil's Royal Castle. I'm nervous! But this one is really kind, and he shows me the castle carefully, even though he cares to keep me from getting tired! It's so different from when Leki used to show me the guild, what a nostalgia.
"Dear Meg, are you okay? The stairs may be a little tight, but it's a place you'd love to see."
"Yes! Good luck."
But the stairs are definitely tight! I don't know how far the spiral staircase goes, but it's pretty steep up there, so I'm short of breath. Beh, it's not like I'm lacking exercise! Dull.
"Come on, we're here. Try opening the door."
When we finally get to the top, only the big door is in front of us. I opened it slowly, wondering what was here, and I accidentally raised my voice.
"Wow, beautiful..."
The end of the door was connected to the outside. It's not very spacious, but it's circular, so you can look around the scenery. Beautiful streets beneath your eyes, with forests stretching to protect the city a little further away. We also saw the plain ahead, and we were able to see the horizon.
This is the tallest part of Demon King's Castle. He explained that it was made so that he could see the castle town from here. So after enjoying the scenery for a while, Mr. Hugh began to speak quietly.
"Dear Meg, it's a personal matter...... my daughter was actually just born a few years ago. At this age, right? I'm very surprised, but I'm glad to hear that."
"Really!? Congratulations!
I say at this age, are you that old? I don't know because subhumans don't really look and know how old they are. Still, you're supposed to get old, but this guy looks younger than your father and he doesn't come with a bad pin... but I'm sure he's pretty old because he's about his own age, don't go too far into it. That's a trivial thing to say before we talk about it!
"I'm not the only one. Ten or so new lives have been born in the last fifty years or so among those working at this Demon King's Castle. There will be even more if you let in the castle town. There will be more in the future."
Subhumans have a very low birth rate compared to humans, and I tend to forget because there are so many rare subhumans and no extra children in the city where Ortus is... it's not like they're not born. I'm kind of impressed.
"Of course, not many people live longer than Dear Meg and rare Asians. But I'm sure Meg won't be left alone."
Ah... well. Here I finally know what Mr. Hugh wants to say.
"We should admire Master Meg for generations to come. We look forward to the day when we can make our descendants feel like family to Master Meg."
What I'm worried about is a prospect. I'm sure I've known it since you were the Demon King. And since then, he may have supported me so that I could feel safe about the Demon King. It kind of warmed my heart a little.
"Did I mention something to you?
I shake my neck immediately because Mr. Hugh says that with a worried face.
"Yeah! I'm so happy and my heart is lighter! Thank you very much!
I'm sure I'm not ready for my mind yet, but this story supports my heart in the future. Just a little bit, I feel like I'm looking forward to the future!
Thus smiling at each other, we just relaxed a little more in this place and then headed back for the tour of the Devil's Royal Castle again.
