Category: There Were Dungeons Here Too

「So, Count. There’s something I’d like to ask.」 「Yes! Holy Knight-sama… haa… haa…」 「I’d like a serious answer. How exactly did stories about me and Amilia spread?」 「Yes. What has been passed down is that the third-generation head was killed by minions of the evil god during the march to recapture the royal capital. He…

After quickly changing into something suitable, I took Amilia’s hand and started walking. Shia, by the way, was clinging to my right arm. 「Shia, could you let go soon?」 「Muu… Fine then. In exchange, Amilia-sama, please cling to him instead～! He’s been fidgeting the whole time anyway.」 「Hyau!? Hey, Shia!」 Amilia’s face turned bright red…

Two days after the tiny-Liliana incident, we had kept Liliana resting out of caution, but today she was finally back on her feet. We decided to finish processing the remaining mountain today. 「All right then, Yuuki-sama. Just to be safe, I’ll stick to transportation duty only!」 「Yeah, thanks. Don’t push yourself.」 「Yes! Understood!」 「Okay… here…

「So what exactly do you mean it’s not just magic exhaustion?」 I asked Marian, who was still striking her smug pose. 「That’s because! That’s because!!」 「Just get to the point already. Seeing how relaxed you are tells me it’s not dangerous, so hurry up.」 「That’s mean!? But… yes, it’s true!!」 「In any case, Marian-sama, what…

So three days later, we arrived here, at a section of the great mountain range on the southern edge of demon territory. Originally, a long tunnel had been dug through this spot to reach the southernmost domain. 「Are you really sure it’s okay to do this?」 「Yes. The tunnel was built about a hundred and…

「Now then… which mountain should I pick…」 I arrived near the royal capital to destroy a mountain, but every single one had houses scattered along the mid-slopes and around the base. 「Every mountain has people living on it… I really don’t want to drag civilians into this, so what should I do…」 Even if I…

The night after enjoying the camp with everyone, I came alone to Ulberick-san’s place. 「Yo… How have things been lately?」 I asked as I landed on the bell tower. 「Hmm… Thanks to Demon King-sama, troops are gathering in the royal capital. Because of that, my territory has also sent out soldiers.」 「Ah… Sorry about that…」…

「Ukyuu～」 「Ara ara… Looks like she’s reached her limit.」 「Yeah… Nn～ I’m so tired～」 「How is Amilia-sama so full of stamina…」 Croco was spinning from magic exhaustion, while Selene and Shia collapsed into sitting positions. Only Amilia and I were still full of energy. 「Probably thanks to 【Latent Enhancement】, right?」 「Yeah. Honestly, when it comes…

「Marian, you in〜?」 The moment I transferred into the god’s space, I saw Marian fiddling with some suspicious-looking equipment. 「Ah, Yuuki-san! Did you already finish it?」 「Yeah, it’s done… but what is that evil looking thing?」 I looked up at the device that looked exactly like the cultivation tanks you see in anime. 「No, it’s…

The first week after returning was spent entirely on forging swords. 「All right… that’s the three of them done!」 I finished making several swords and plopped down heavily. The blades gleaming in front of me shone with beautiful light. 「Not bad for an amateur, I guess…」 For Takeshi, the greatsword user, I made a massive…

Baldan snapped at the conversation between me and Shia, pulled a crossbow out from somewhere, and fired at us. 「Here you go.」 「Nnaa!?」 I caught the arrow right in front of my face. Baldan stood there stunned. 「That was close…」 「Wha!?」 「If it’s Master, it wouldn’t pierce anyway, right?」 「Wha!?」 「No no, it would still…

「Well, I know who your employer is, but why did you attack?」 I asked after wrapping up the last attacker, whom I had kicked away, in a straw roll. 「T-that is something we do not know either…… We were simply ordered to bring Stisia.」 「I see. Well, knowing that much is enough.」 「Master, sorry for…

A man walked through the streets of the royal capital with drunken steps. Two shadows pursued him. Just as he entered a back alley, they turned and spoke to him. 「You! Do you know who I am!?」 「Well, who could it be?」 「Aerdfgtgyflp!!」 The drunk man shouted in anger, pulling out a hidden weapon and…

「So, what kind of information are you after?」 「Mainly the current movements of the saintess and the kingdom’s rebel army. Also, if you happen to know anything about the holy sword’s location, I’d like to hear it.」 「Yeah… the current saintess is supposedly on a pilgrimage in the demon territories, but that’s just the cover…

After leaving the underground library, we advanced through the royal castle using my detection magic and Croco-chan’s shadow magic. 「Still… there really isn’t anything, huh? No stairs leading further underground or anything like that.」 「Yeah. When I lived in the castle, I never saw any stairs or rooms going deeper either.」 「Right… but in the…

I pulled a flashlight from my item box and led the way through the underground passage. 「Master, what is this thing? It’s super convenient…」 Shia flicked the light on and off repeatedly, genuinely amazed. 「Ahaha, this is a flashlight. It’s common in my world. No magic power or magic stones needed.」 「Onii-san, me too! Me…

Two days after returning from Milrose, Shia and a night demon girl we had met at the orphanage during a patrol with Selene, her name was… Croco-chan, I think, were waiting in my private room at the Demon King’s castle. 「Um… why is she here?」 「I found her while I was visiting the orphanage with…

Right after departing Milrose, we teleported straight to the Carbuncle village. After a quick greeting, we headed directly to the shrine of the successive village chiefs. 「Yuuki-san, please.」 「Got it. Here we go, haaah!」 Together with Selene, I poured magic power into the shrine to summon the ancestors. 『Oh, the 【Child of the Rainbow】 and…

「Shopkeeper-san, what is that?」 Selene tilted her head curiously, sensing something special about the box. 「This has been passed down in my family since even before my great-grandfather. According to the stories, it contains a treasure of our clan.」 「And why does it involve me?」 「Well… the legend says that if a Carbuncle ever came…

「From what I heard, there’s a school in the capital that all noble children have to attend. And their wives are basically forced to live there too.」 「Wow… that sounds like hostages… Wait, but Natalia-san…」 「Ah, that’s because this territory is right on the front line against the demon lands. If Ulberick-sama ever falls, Natalia-san…
