Category: There Were Dungeons Here Too

Amilia and I landed right in front of the evil god. As usual, the evil god kept its gaze fixed on the castle instead of looking at us. 「For now, let’s make it face this way.」 「Yes! How do we do that?」 Amilia blinked at me in confusion, and I nearly stumbled. 「Just hit it…

Stepping out onto the balcony in front of the castle, I saw the city below packed tightly with citizens all looking up at us. 「There are so many people…」 「I didn’t know this many lived here…」 「Indeed…」 While we were surprised by the huge crowd, Noctarl-san stepped forward. Gradually, the noise died down. 「Everyone! We…

「Well then, I’m counting on you today.」 Noctarl-san finished confirming the schedule and smiled happily. 「Yes. I’m not used to this, but I’ll do my best.」 With that, Noctarl-san left the room, looking busy. ——Knock, knock. 「Yes, come in.」 Slipping in with the knock were the long ears I’d been seeing quite often lately. 「Holy…

「「A miracle that splits the sky?」」 Amilia and I tilted our heads in confusion. What could that be about…? 「That… is it referring to ‘that’?」 Amilia swung her arm, mimicking the motion of her『Sky Eater』. 「Ah… but I’ve never actually split the sky, right?」 「Well, I suppose that must have changed over the course of…

Once everyone finished introducing themselves, the food arrived on carts. 「Um… Does anyone have anything they can’t eat?」 「I’m perfectly fine, you know.」 「I’m fine too. I enjoy meals and have no issues.」 「I’m okay as well. Nothing that would kill me by eating it.」 「I’m fine as long as it’s not hard.」 「I’m good～…

「Excuse me, Yuuki-sama.」 「Huh? The head chef and… who?」 The head chef entered looking apologetic, accompanied by a pale-faced young man I didn’t recognize. 「Well, the thing is…」 From what he explained, the newcomer had mistakenly served part of the prepared meal as staff food. 「I am terribly sorry!! Come on! You apologize too!!」 「Ugh……

「S-S-Sorryyyyyy!?」 「Ah, it’s fine, it’s fine. I just let my guard down. Look, no injuries.」 I had simply been launched into the air, so I answered calmly. 「B-B-But!?」 「Latiti, it’s okay. Yuuki is very sturdy.」 「Actually, the door is the one that’s ruined…」 「Yuuki-san… aren’t you a little too tough…?」 「Yuuki-oniichan… amazing…」 Come on, it’s…

「All right, the main topic…」 Noctarl-san straightened up and spoke with a serious expression. 「After Yuuki-dono and Selene-chan’s report, I’ve already issued warnings to the guard unit and castle soldiers. But until the day of the engagement party, there will be a huge number of people coming and going…」 「It can’t be helped. We only…

For now, I put away all the souvenirs and prepared some tea. We sat down in the prepared chairs and began to talk. 「Let me get straight to the point. As for this 【Evil God Sprout】, right now there is no countermeasure once it has activated.」 「I see…」 「Is there really no way…?」 Marian spoke…

「Uwah!」 「Kyaa!?」 The slime-like Evil God? —Horax—thrashed wildly, kicking up clouds of dust. 「Guhehehehe! This body! It’s the best aaaah!!」 He cackled loudly, convinced he had crushed us after Croco pulled us underground. 「That was close～」 「Croco, thank you.」 「Thank you, Croco-chan.」 Selene and I took turns patting her head. She beamed happily. 「All right……

As the engagement announcement party drew closer, the castle town grew noisier and more crowded. Today, Selene and Croco were accompanying me on patrol through the streets. 「The more people there are, the worse the public order gets…」 「Yes… We’ve already broken up three fights and caught a thief today alone…」 「Normally there aren’t that…

After finishing the meal, we sat down with the three heroes and Marian to review the current situation and discuss our strategy. 「So basically, we’ll be handling this dungeon while Yuuki-san fights the Evil God in the royal capital.」 「That’s right.」 「Just us against an Evil God, huh…」 「It’ll be fine. Our levels have gone…

After the dress fitting ended, everyone wanted to watch movies, so I set up the player and projector and taught them the simple controls. They had a fierce rock-paper-scissors tournament to decide what to watch. Somehow Croco was there too, and she won. When I asked what she wanted, she chose a battle anime adapted…

After being thoroughly “attacked” by Amilia and the others… and wrung out over the following week, the Demon King’s castle was suddenly thrown into preparations for an engagement announcement party announced by Noctarl-san. 「That said, this is actually part of the plan.」 「But thanks to it, we can hold the announcement much sooner, so it’s…

「This turned into something unbelievable…」 I was careless… I got way too excited about finally stretching my legs in a proper bath and made a mistake somewhere along the way… Contrary to the turmoil in my chest, what spread out before my eyes was a paradise of the most vivid colors. Every shade imaginable was…

I left the fired bricks to cool and moved on to laying the foundations for the other buildings. After about two hours, the count came to call me. 「Holy Knight-sama!」 「Oh? What is it, Count?」 「It’s almost time for lunch, so I came to fetch you!」 「Already that time…?」 「Yes! Today we have whole-roasted Hiruidori…

After finishing the wood shavings and telling the carpentry and woodworking teams that help would arrive later, I came up to the top of the hill. 「All right, time to make the bathhouse!」 Full of enthusiasm, I began digging with earth magic while simultaneously firming up the foundation. 「In times like this, it’s the foundation,…

The day after securing the water, I headed to the planned town site. Count Daibern and his soldiers had already arrived. 「This is Holy Knight-sama! Welcome, welcome!」 「You’re already here!」 「Yes! We wanted to see the well that Holy Knight-sama created as soon as possible!」 He was holding a mug and beaming. He’s definitely been…

「Sorry to keep you waiting!」 「Thanks, Croco. You really helped out.」 We arrived at the planned site via Croco’s shadow transfer. The ghosts were blinking rapidly, eyes wide. 「Sorry for the wait, everyone. This is where we’re building the well. Can you sense anything?」 「Mmmmmm… Yuuki-sama’s magic power is too strong, I can’t tell!」 The…

「But this is on top of a hill. Can you really make a well here?」 Amilia tilted her head. 「That’s exactly the problem…」 Digging a well isn’t as simple as just digging down. Finding a water source isn’t something you can do easily. 「In the end… I guess we have to rely on the occult…」…
