Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 24: Family Home

"Uh... it fits over here, doesn't it?

Wander around with Illis as he looks at the map of the King's Capital.

The city of King's Capital is filled with noisy sounds of merchandising and clutter.

There are many mainly brick-making houses and it feels like something well built from the foundation. It won't break that easily.

Occasionally, some houses are witchcrafted, and perhaps that kind of thing has the appearance of being considered a property owned by a bourgeoisie, or some kind of organization, and that doesn't mean the technology that said so can be done at a cheap price.

It is a kind of luxury and is meant to protect important facilities.

"Yeah... as far as that map goes, I think it fits... how many minutes, it's the first city I've been to. You're a little nervous..."

The map of the King's Capital, sent from Grant with Rusty's letter, contained the names of important establishments and major streets, as well as the location of the family (Clan) that the Grants apparently made.

It is written in the margin around the top right corner of the map up to the letter, so that it comes first when it comes to the Wang capital, and the circle is written in large deficit at the location of the family (clan).

"You don't have to go this far..."

I guess I can't help but whine about that.

"That didn't happen back in the day, but it seems that your uncle of the people (human) has a free personality, so around there, isn't he not trusted? In fact, until yesterday you were a tourist priority..."

That's what they say.

Illis laughed at me when I laughed.

In fact, there is absolutely no such thing as a drastic change in character because you have become a people (human), but is it because the heavy pressure of Demon King is gone?

Or is it because you set a goal to live freely?

In his previous life, Lulu was able to be honest for his curiosity and selfishness, which he was not able to put forward very much.

Of course, not to mention before I died, I was almost suppressed if I wanted to because I worked in a responsible position once, but there was always an environment where I didn't have to, so it became normal not to.

I guess that's why Illis feels like Lulu's personality has changed a little bit.

Nevertheless, Illis doesn't have a problem either, especially since he seems to enjoy living with Lulu like that.

"... oh, isn't this it?

I was comparing the map to the building as I walked, and Lulu is convinced that this, apparently present in front of me, is the destination.

It was a very retro or a building that was made of archaicism.

It is a fairly large building on five floors, the entrance door is quite large and looks heavy. On the door of the entrance, on a slightly rusty silver plate, from where it says "Explorer of the Ages (Elam Kupidr)," I guess that means a whole family (clan) owned building.

The exterior is very aged stone, and as you approach it you can see quite a few scratchy signs of aging deterioration, which is quite pale in colour compared to the houses around you.

I can tell if it floats weirdly or not, and it feels like it's going through the exquisite, whether it's just the right feeling of loneliness or the seemingly cozy blurring.

"Sounds like it... it still looks like it's going to collapse, but if you look closely, it incorporates magic inside... you see the color of humis. Ha... I think it's a little sweet, but is that the point?"

That's what Iris said, staring at the exterior of the building and even more at the back of it with a clear gaze.

I guess you're looking at the composition of the magic that is going through the building or covering the outside.

If you also look at Lulu in tune with that modus operandi of Illis, it does, as Illis said, have the characteristics of a witchcraft composition of Yumis that combines inefficiencies poorly for doing fine things.

That being said, it's more sophisticated and powerful magic than any building I've seen before I got here, so this point is harsh to say.

"Well...... anyway, that sounds definite and you want to come in?

That's how he walked into the building with Illis.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Blur is only on the outside, huh?"

If you go in unexpectedly or unexpectedly, the interior is well built and a little surprised by that atmosphere you can't imagine from the outside.

And first of all, the ground floor part that caught my eye was making a complete bump out of it, as if it were a liquor store.

The whole room is lined here with chairs and tables, with a counter in the back, and a number of liquor bottles in it… it's the interior that makes you wonder if this is really the home of your family (clan).

In the first place, the Lulu's came to see the Grans, but in this way, I don't know where the hell to go.

I had no choice but, temporarily, to look for someone for a while, I could see someone coming down the stairs leading upstairs.

"That's... a customer? Yes, yes, which is it?"

and so on, and I can hear it coming down almost with a prolonged voice.

And it was the girl who appeared somewhat blurred before the Lulu's.

Will the years be slightly above the Lulu's?

But my eyes are empty, and my expression is missing somewhere.

I don't feel like I'm a bad person because he's laughing at me with a hectic, mind-blowing smile on... Somehow, she's the type of woman who's going to fit in with a scam somewhere.

The appearance itself is quite beautiful when you look closely, and the shape seems to be even and beautiful, but the impression acts rather the opposite because of the wild trio of knitting, subtle shaped glasses, and rugged clothes.

Is it okay that this is the first person who came here and fitted me?

Lulu thought so looking at the woman in front of him.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Heh... what the Grans were saying was about the Lulu's. I'm surprised you thought people seemed stronger."

But the first impression seemed irreplaceable, and the woman was surprisingly firm.

She left a message from her family (Klan) "Explorer of the Age (Elam Kupidr)," who seemed to be the master of the tavern, cooking and serving dishes by hand that I could not imagine from the atmosphere when Lulu and Illis said they hadn't eaten lunch yet.

When I tried it, I was surprised because this was such a delicious substitute that I wanted to eat as many times as I could.

Yet I guess her arms are real because she says that the ingredients are only used in general, without any kind of transformation.

Gran also hired good people, and I feel like sending praise to the people's eyes.

She says her name is Chiffon.

He's also an adventurer for once, and he says he can fight quite a bit, so people really don't get what they see.

"It depends on how delicious you look ~. I'm sorry. Gran and Rusty are not here right now. Gran and Rusty are getting ready for the Fire Dragon Demolition Show, and Rusty and the others are a little far away at their request."

According to her story, the members of "Explorer of the Times (Elam Kupidr)" are usually the ones who are having lunch here at this hour in the tavern, but today they are all paying off because they are busy preparing for the rumored Fire Dragon Dismantling Show. Rusty and the others seem to be going somewhere on a separate matter and unfortunately can't seem to see each other for a while.

"I heard Lulu and Iris say they were coming, but it seemed like they thought it would take a little longer... your plans went a little crazy ~. But it's just fine. The Fire Dragon Demolition Show will begin in a little while, so let's go check it out. The liquor store is not open today, so it's okay because it's empty."

That said, she was standing at the exit of the building at some point as she quickly washed and shelved the plates she had eaten.

"... unexpected, hands-on?

When Lulu says that in a joke mix, Iris says,

"At least you're stronger than Rusty"

and reply.

I did agree on that point.

I was deceived by the ho ho ho ho atmosphere, but the movement I just showed is entirely that of a warrior.

Since I don't feel so much magic, I guess it's purely the arm's length battle type.

Really, Lulu laughed that it was something that didn't stop by to see.

Then the three of us take each other up and walk to Central Square.

"It's quite crowded."

That's how Ilis squeaked as he watched the people crossing the boulevard leading up to the square.

Lulu also sees people walking down the boulevard in the same way as Illis, but every one of them is headed in the same direction, or central square, the purpose of which is more obvious than seeing fire.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to see the demolition of the Fire Dragon ~. Because we rarely see a dragon. Not to mention the fact that we're dismantling the scene is not something we can see inside."

The dragon was a powerful creature that had existed since Lulu was the Demon King, but its strength was not strong because it was by the individual and by the kind it was urban and not necessarily dragon.

The truly inferior dragon is about 60 centimeters long and can't even fly in the sky. It's also easy to crusade.

However, the Fire Dragon that the Grans hunted this time is said to belong to the lower ranks among the authentic Dragon clan, but it was correspondingly strong, and it was also told that it was the one thousand years old.

If you crusade a dragon like that, it's obvious that it will be quite a topic of discussion, and as an ordinary citizen who can't go hunting for something like that on his own feet, it's an understandable story to want to see its existence once and for all raw.

Making that look like a show was probably a smart choice indeed.

"I sold one ticket for about three silver coins, but this was brilliantly sold out ~. My family's (clan) nostalgia moistened ~"

With a blurry voice, Chiffon is whining about something black.

But he needs tickets, but the Lulu and the others don't have any of that.

With that said, Chiffon took three sheets of paper out of his chest, one at a time, and gave it to Lulu and Iris.

"... Fire Dragon Demolition Show, Primary Seat, One Gold Coin..."

Seriously, I saw that ticket, and that's what Illis said.

Apparently good seats are expensive.

Should I say that I have a hard time being a merchant?

"... will the Gran dismantle"

The ticket depicts Gran not having the great sword he always uses, but having a huge long knife that makes him feel as sharp as he seems to specialize in cutting things.

I don't feel like it's a little beautified, but is it because it's a show?

Yumis is not depicted, so maybe she won't do anything in this show, even on the table.

I was curious and asked Chiffon,

"Mr. Yumis puts up a line ~. After all, it's dangerous when blood, splashes, or cut areas fly ~. I hope you don't have to worry about that because dragon's blood has magic equipment for recovery"

The fact that it is a fairly huge fire dragon is somewhat apparent from the scale of the gran and fire dragon depicted on the ticket.

I guess that kind of consideration is certainly necessary.

That's how the line gets clogged about.

Looks like Central Square is close.

Iris and Lulu don't know how close they got because they're not very tall.

Trying to stretch his back and somehow look towards Central Square, Chiffon suddenly grabbed Lulu's armpit and lifted it high and said.

"Can you see ~?"

The behavior was utterly sudden and Lulu was a little surprised, but his vision was higher and he often looked forward.

According to that, apparently, this whole line of crap is going to be over in a little while.

It seems to be getting crowded with time at the end of the ticket.

There's still room in Central Square itself, and it doesn't seem to be packed enough that there's no escape.

If you look closely at that, you'll see that there's a little more space around the front row of Central Square, and that's probably the seat of a single gold coin.

"Oh, I see it. I'm sorry you had to lift it. It's all right now."

When I say that, they drop me off.

Then she looked at Chiffon with a face that said Illis had somehow done the same thing, so she did the same to Illis.

"... I knew it would be fun to have a high gaze"

He was saying that while he was being lifted.

Speaking of heightphobia on boulders, Lulu was fine as high as he was, but I don't think he wants to be carried on and lifted, so I figured that word in Illis had different qualities, which was one word.

One day, I'm going to build a flying machine.

In modern times, I know that something close to it exists, so I'm going to ride it one day too, so it was Lulu who was determined that if I didn't cure my phobia of heights by then.
