Chapter 284 – Ep.283 Goldias Kingdom
About three hours had passed since I left the gate. Fortunately, there was no chance of the pursuer catching up or encountering the assailant in an unexpected place.
It was when he was about to bury his face in Nyaho’s soft chest, slowly releasing the tension that had built up.
Flap-!!
The wind-resistant blackout curtain created by Mr. Shiorin’s magic fluttered wildly, and something pure white jumped into the luggage compartment.
“Kyeah!!”
I was startled by the sudden intrusion of an unknown being, and unconsciously grabbed Nyaho’s chest quite strongly. Nyaho let out a strange moan that did not suit the situation and hugged me.
“Wow… “Uuuuum.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
As I sat with my face buried in his cleavage, Nyaho released his hands from holding the back of my head.
After regaining her freedom, I slowly raised my head and looked over her shoulder to see the intruder’s condition. And the identity of the intruder was immediately identified by his very special clothing.
A person wearing a robe as white as snow.
Neme Anim said, glancing at me as she rested her chin on Nya Ho’s shoulder.
“Don’t worry about it and just keep doing what you’re doing.”
Then, he went back to his usual seat, sat down on her buttocks, and took out the small book from her cleavage and opened it.
I watched in a daze for a moment as the action was as natural as flowing water, but at some point I came to my senses.
“Um, Nemea?”
When I called her name, Nemea slowly raised her head and looked at me. And then he touched his charming lips.
“I said it before, but I hope you will tolerate me coveting my body. I’m saying this for you rather than for myself…”
“It’s not like that.”
“Hmm. “It wasn’t.”
Only then did Neme Anim close the book he had opened and put it into his chest. It seems like you have finally realized that I have something to say.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“… “It’s a bit much, but I’ll ask questions sequentially.”
Putting everything else aside, I first asked if you were the culprit who destroyed the labyrinth.
“There must have been a little distance, but the news came quickly.”
As Beneo guessed, the culprit was Nemea.
“Why did you destroy the labyrinth?”
“If you didn’t know, you couldn’t help it, but now that you know that the cultists are looking for traces of the great man, you can’t let those dirty bitches get what they want.”
“… Uh, I mean. They said they didn’t want to see a cultist trying to get something from the labyrinth, so they destroyed it… Is it okay for me to understand that way?”
“It’s not that different.”
Neme Anim did not deny it and nodded his head once.
For the first time I felt her grittiness as she clad herself in her snow-white robes.
“Are you interested in labyrinths?”
“Rather than the labyrinth, the stone tablet said to have come from there is a little… ?”
“Right.”
Neme Anim nodded his head once and continued speaking again.
“I was going to give you a choice as to what I should give you as compensation for this job after the job was over, but since you said you were interested in the slate in the labyrinth, I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give you the right to occupy that slate first. “
“Preemption… “Rights?”
“Yes.”
“But didn’t you say that Nemea destroyed the labyrinth?”
After I finished speaking, Nemea closed her lips for a moment and glared at me for a while. In reality, I couldn’t see his eyes because of the dark shadow over his nose, but I had a strong feeling that way.
“… “It was destroyed, but it was only to hinder the work of the evil and dirty cultists, not for the actual purpose of destroying the labyrinth itself.”
So, Nemea only came out after destroying a few passages and the central entrance that had been created by the Petrummy Church to prevent further entry into the labyrinth.
“The labyrinth will undergo restoration work after this incident is over. “If only two or three of the ten demons who responded to the temple’s summons cooperate, we will be able to enter the labyrinth again in two months at the most.”
“That’s what it was.”
“I feel like I know a little bit about how you look at me. “It’s not very good, though.”
“… “It’s a misunderstanding.”
“I know it’s not. And it’s not entirely wrong. Okay.”
Even though she said that, I was able to notice that the angle of Nemea’s lips, which were always flat, was very subtly drooping.
However, since I was not in a position to comfort Nemea, I decided to ask another question to get some fresh air.
“But what is the Ten Demon Castle?”
“… “Don’t you know the Ten Demon Castles?”
“Uh… “Mr. West?”
Following Nemea, Nyaho, who was in my arms, pricked up her ears and looked up at me.
I don’t know about Nemea-sama, but looking at Nyaho, who along with Giena takes my side unconditionally even if I get into a serious accident, I guess the Ten Demon Castles are common sense that must be known in this world.
“No, um… Okay. You come from quite deep in the desert… But if you lived there for 4 years… Hmm…”
Nemeani was tapping his chin with his unusually long and slender fingers, tilting his head back and forth and muttering something.
I looked down at Nyaho who raised his head and asked quietly.
“Is it okay if I don’t know?”
“Yes? Oh, uh, uh, it’s not like that. Yes. You may not know. Sure.”
Odd Eye, as beautiful as Nyaho’s jewel, swayed greatly from side to side.
It seems that the Ten Demon Stars are one of the common sense items that must be known on this continent.
“… Okay. “I asked what the Ten Demon Castles were.”
“Yep.”
I placed my chin on the top of Nyaho’s head and waited for Nemea-sama’s answer.
Neme Anim cleared his throat slightly and then continued.
“Ten Demon Saints refers to the ten strongest people on this continent who transcend species.”
“Oh…”
What can I say? It was an answer that did not go far from expectations.
“When I heard their names, I thought they were criminals who had committed some serious crime, but that wasn’t the case.”
“It is not wrong to say that they are no different from criminals.”
“… ?”
You’re no different from a criminal.
“Eight of the ten demons are bitches with a twisted way of thinking. They are a people who have to do what they want to do unconditionally and have what they want to have unconditionally to be satisfied with their instincts. If you want to kill, kill, if you want to destroy, destroy. “If an ordinary human commits murder, he or she should of course be judged appropriately, but who can punish those bitches?”
“Aha.”
I immediately understood what Nemea meant.
So, if he were an ordinary person, he would have committed a hundred times more acts that would have made him a criminal, but since we don’t dare to suppress him, we just ignore him.
You can interpret it like this.
‘It’s definitely worth knowing.’
In order to avoid living disasters, you must know who they are and where they mainly operate in order to avoid them, and even if you encounter one, you should keep your eyes down and crawl around.
‘… ‘No, wait.’
The ten strongest people on the continent.
A moving disaster.
Of course, I thought I should avoid it, but I soon realized too late that I couldn’t.
To achieve higher performance scores.
In order to get promoted, I was destined to meet people called the Ten Demon Stars, sooner or later.
“… If I have any information about the Ten Demon Fortresses, I will look for them later. “I need to know what it looks like so I can avoid it the next time I meet it.”
“One of them will already be a familiar face.”
“Do you mean me?”
“… “Mr. West.”
“Huh?”
Nyaho, who was in my arms, gently pulled my collar and said.
“Count Filoria.”
“Ardel? Ardel… Ah.”
“Yes.”
Nyaho nodded his head as if what I was thinking was correct.
“The coldest fifth star. “That is Count Filoria.”
“… Okay.”
I was surprised for a moment, but when I heard the adjective that came out of Nemea-sama’s mouth, I suddenly felt very embarrassed.
I asked, trying to ignore the goosebumps that appeared on my forearms.
“Speaking of the fifth star… Are you saying that Ardel is the fifth strongest out of ten?”
“Yes.”
“Oh…”
Contrary to the modifier that adolescent boys might like, Nemea’s assurance that Ardel was the fifth strongest on this continent gave me goosebumps in a slightly different sense.
The fifth strongest woman on the continent is my lover.
‘… ‘You bastard.’
Maybe my cock is stronger than I thought. Just a moment ago, the anxiety I felt about having to meet the Ten Demon Saints completely disappeared.
‘For a moment.’
I found a part of the past memory that suddenly came to mind that really bothered me.
“Are you Amela, one of the Ten Demon Saints?”
“If you’re talking about Amela, the head of the adventurer’s guild in the city of Molingta, then no… “I will answer that.”
“No?”
“Yes.”
At Nemea-sama’s answer, I frowned without realizing it.
‘… ‘Is it just because you have a dirty personality?’
It is a fact known to anyone who has lived in Mallingta that Amela absolutely hates Ardel.
‘There’s no way you didn’t know that fact…’
Ardel’s personality was just as unpredictable as her sister’s. She also said that once she did what she wanted to do, her instincts would be released.
‘Did Ardel watch it?’
But when she thinks about Ardel’s personality, which she experienced firsthand, she doesn’t think that’s the case.
‘… I still don’t know.’
Rather than worrying about it, it would be better to ask directly later.
“But you said there were ten demons who responded to the call… “Is Ardel also in there?”
“I know that there are people who responded to the summons, but I don’t know exactly how many or who accepted.”
“Okay.”
She was slightly hopeful, but that was all.
This is because, despite her outward appearance, Ardel actually hates troublesome and inconvenient work.
“The question is, is that all?”
“No. I roughly understood the Ten Demon Castles. But what does it mean to give the right to preoccupy?”
“I mean it literally. “We will guarantee in the name of the Pope the right to be the first to examine stone tablets written in ancient languages.”
“… “Is it significant?”
Squeeze.
This time, Nyaho tugged on my collar.
“Mr. West. Anything written in an ancient language will be recovered from the empire sooner or later. I didn’t know why before, but maybe…”
Nyaho slightly moved his eyes and looked at Shiorin who was dozing in the corner.
“I see.”
The only emperor who keeps and can access records from the time when his father-in-law was active.
It seems that the emperor wants to stuff every trace of his father-in-law into the emperor’s archives.
“As the cat said, traces of great people are recovered from the empire in the name of the emperor. Of course, we recognize the rights of the first discoverer and provide reasonable compensation. “If you want, we can take a few days to look at it and give you time to study.”
“I can write it down and spread it out later. Is that okay?”
“If you swear by the name of a few gods, you are also allowed to record them. Of course, most of those who are interested in ancient languages are wizards, so most of them end their lives keeping it to themselves until the very end, so the fact that nothing is known about it until now is a good example of how greedy wizards are.”
In fact, it is said that when there is a rumor that something related to an ancient language has been discovered in the labyrinth, there are quite a few wizards who target and attack the discoverer. Therefore, discoverers, excluding wizards, are said to choose material compensation for their own safety.
“If the news of discovering a tablet written in an ancient language in the labyrinth becomes known throughout the empire, those with back pockets from various places will report the news to the wizards involved. Then, those bitches will arrive at the labyrinth and rush to examine the tablets before they are retrieved from the Empire.”
“Hmm.”
I rolled my eyes and glared at Shio Rin, who had even begun to drool.
“I will allow you to quietly examine the slate until you are satisfied. And I will warn you in the name of all temples not to touch you. “How about it?”
“… Well.”
I held off on answering.
In fact, I was curious about what traces my father-in-law left behind. However, he did not want to solve that question by using the reward provided by the temple.
What if the words written on the paper the nameless boy showed me were very meaningful?
‘Sex at best…’
No, I’m not saying sex is all there is. Even if I don’t like what’s written, I can just roughly predict it. That’s why I don’t want to find out even more as a reward.
I turned my head and looked at Nemea.
‘It would be better to get Nemea’s day.’
I am stubbornly refusing it for my own sake, but if the temple asks for my body as a reward, I will no longer be able to refuse it.
“… “You’re really causing trouble.”
Nemea must have read the sinisterness in my gaze and spoke as if she was slightly scolding a child.
“Is there anything else left to ask?”
“The most important thing remains.”
I told Nemea what I saw and felt at the gateway.
“It’s a reasonable suspicion. “There are certainly many corners where it is difficult to say that the Petrum Church has taken over.”
“Then… ?”
“Although there has been a history of heretics joining hands, there are no records left of them opposing each other. But I don’t think it’s an issue that can simply be overlooked. However, it is not an issue so urgent that it needs to be investigated right away.”
Nemea decided to hold off on this part for now.
It was a decision made based on the valid reasons that it would be easier to have Calm find out later than to dig in and the range of information that could be obtained was wider.
“If you’re going to use a trick, I’ll do it before you get to the city, so I’ll think about it again then.”
After confirming that my business was finished, Neme Anim took out the small book he had kept in his chest and opened it.
Ugh.
As soon as Nemea-sama’s eyes turned to the book, Nyaho, who was in my arms facing me, hugged my waist tightly with both legs.
“West…”
She licks her lips naughtily with her cute little tongue, twitches her buttocks, and stimulates her thighs.
Grumbling.
With the sound of thin paper being turned over, Nyaho’s waist knot flows down without any force.
I grabbed Nyaho’s lovely buttocks with both hands.
“Ah… ♥”
There are four women who are better than me.
So I decided to refocus on what only I can do.
