Chapter 801 – Ep.799 Demon Continent
“This… “That’s amazing.”
The moment I passed through the door of the villa guarded by the demons and entered, I had no choice but to say that.
This is because the ice with a slight blue glow continued like a carpet all the way through the lobby and up the stairs.
Moreover, although the inside should always be kept at a comfortable temperature thanks to thermal insulation magic, now every time I exhale, pure white breath flows out.
“What’s so great? “All of this is a waste.”
[Sometimes you say the right thing. ]
It is a very common story that even though they fight against each other, when an external enemy arises, they join forces as if they had never done it before. First of all, it was good that the two came to an agreement, but unfortunately, the fact that Ruel is not an external enemy is a deductible factor.
“Ugh… ?”
“Although Ruel was cocky, we are now one team, so don’t check him too much. Rita, you too.”
[ … Yes. ]
“Ugh…”
Genoa glanced at me as if to say, ‘Why isn’t he pinching her?’, But she just ignored her, let go of the cheek she was holding, and walked up the stairs covered in thick ice.
Contrary to what I expected to be slippery, the ice was not slippery at all.
Thanks to this, she was able to climb the stairs comfortably without having to hold on to the railing.
“It certainly looks like there was an accident.”
The lobby was in good condition, so I thought it was just a verbal commotion, but as soon as I got to the upper floor where the training hall was located, I could easily see damaged parts all over the walls and floor.
The handrails on the stairs were broken at times.
If the area right below was this bad, the bedroom, where the commotion originated, would be even more of a mess.
‘I don’t know if I need to move my residence to a royal palace.’
It was an accident that wasn’t planned, but that doesn’t mean you can sleep in a place where everything is ruined.
Also, looking at the ruined surroundings, I thought it might be better to keep it in a place where it can be seen and take care of it.
‘But I don’t know if the people involved will accept it.’
Anyway, from their perspective, my very existence must be quite uncomfortable.
“… “Can this be fixed?”
[One day is enough. ]
“If possible, take the kids who had an accident today and have them fix it.”
The purpose was to preserve the power of the dream demons as much as possible, but it was also to punish them in its own way.
It was my fault that he was forced into estrus and caused an accident on purpose, but that doesn’t mean he can just quietly move on, so this is probably appropriate.
Having roughly decided to punish the people who caused the accident, I roughly pushed the half-collapsed door that was hanging precariously with my foot.
Huuuuuk──!!
The door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and at the same time, a coldness that I had never felt even in the middle of winter flowed through the gap like fog and settled under my feet.
‘I think a snow girl would be better suited than a small palace lord.’
A wintery beauty standing quietly at the center of the thick cold air beneath her feet.
Ruel was glaring at the more than ten demons kneeling at his feet, just like he was.
“Ruel.”
“… !!”
But as soon as I called her name, she, who was standing there like a domineering ruler, shook her shoulders and looked back with a frightened expression on her face.
“Lord, master!!”
Then, stuttering as she spoke, she ran towards me, holding on to the skirt that was dragging underneath.
“S-sorry!! The girl was so lowly that she didn’t even realize that her master had come…”
“Stop.”
“… Yes yes!!”
It was still burdensome to humble myself so much. However, as soon as I said something, Ruel, who was busy kneeling down and bowing his head, didn’t know if there had been any change, but this time he stopped at the point where he bowed his back.
‘Thirteen. ‘It’s exactly the same number that I didn’t get today.’
I checked the closed door and reached out to touch Ruel’s pure white hair as he bowed his head.
“Oh, no way!!”
“… ?”
I just tried to pat him on the head and praise him for a job well done, but Ruel got scared and backed away.
“Well, right now my body is in an unsuitable state for you to touch it… By the way, there is absolutely no other meaning!!”
I thought he was feeling a little better, but as if my thoughts were meaningless, Ruel suddenly knelt down on the spot and bowed his head.
Sigh.
“Hi?!”
Ignoring Ruel’s warning, I reached out my hand and placed it on the top of her head, and as soon as I did that, Ruel looked up at me in horror.
I squeezed and opened his slightly stiff hand and showed it to Ruel, who was looking surprised.
“Are you fine?”
“Uh, how… ?”
I wanted to ask, ‘Is it okay if I’m fine?’, But I felt like if I did that, I would end up apologizing by hitting my forehead on the floor, so I stopped.
“You did a good job, so get up.”
“Yes, yes!!”
Ruel carefully got up and stood next to me with his head down.
I gently squeezed my still cold hand.
I thought something like this might happen, so I spread the divine power in advance before heading to the villa.
‘I expected it to be cold, but…’
When I opened my fist again, there was no more cold left in my hand. But regardless of that, I had to realize that I still had a long way to go.
“Ah, Ruel.”
“Yes?!”
I haven’t committed any sins anymore, so why are I so surprised?
“Don’t kneel unless I tell you otherwise. And when you’re standing, don’t lower your head because I’m taller anyway.”
“Okay, thank you…” … Ugh, uhm…”
I deliberately ruffled Ruel’s hair a little roughly and pointed to the demons who were kneeling on her knees as if dead.
“But is he still alive?”
“Yes? Ah, that’s right. By lowering the body temperature, the metabolism has slowed down and the response has become dull… “If you keep your body warm, it will quickly return to normal.”
“That’s right.”
When I looked around, it was difficult to find a clean place, not only the floor but also furniture and props such as sofas and tables were broken and rolling around randomly on the floor.
“Rita.”
[ Yes. Nobleman. ]
“How many empty rooms are there in the palace?”
[There is still enough space to accommodate all the people in the villa. ]
“Then, when I give the signal to the monsters below, I will lead the people here and bring them to the pavilion.”
[I will do so. ]
Even though I told her I was bringing an outsider into a space that was meant only for Ellis, Rita took my order as if it were natural.
“Then let’s take the people kneeling over there first.”
“Them?”
“Anyway, you have to calm down the heat to calm it down. “One way or another, it’s the same thing that has to be done in the end, so let’s just get it all done today.”
“Well, isn’t that right? No. “Now that I think about it, it might be better.”
“What?”
“Ok? Oh, no? Nothing?”
He had a face that looked as if something was stabbing him, but I could guess what it was, so I shrugged my shoulders and continued to give instructions.
“Rita, follow me, and Genoa and Ruel, move the kids over there to the front of the bedroom.”
“Me too?”
“Okay. “You too.”
“Ugh…”
I pulled Genoa’s cheek playfully, then left them behind and returned to the pavilion with Rita.
“Looking at it like this, it sure is spacious.”
It’s even weirder that it’s narrow, since one of the top floors is being used as a barrel.
The bedroom I had used so far was one of dozens of rooms.
However, it is the biggest and best room among the many rooms.
“If there is a place where demons are not allowed to enter, please tell me now.”
[If you allow it, we can open it anywhere. ]
It wasn’t the answer I was hoping for, but on the other hand, I could accept it as if I could go to the place I wanted to go if I wanted to, so I added.
“Then, I’ll tell you all when we gather tomorrow morning that you can freely roam around the rest of the room except for the lab that Ellis was using.”
[ All right. ]
I wondered if she would react in a special way when I called her by her name, but Rita showed no special reaction even when I lightly said her queen’s name, Ellis.
“And I’m thinking of stopping by Ellis’ lab in the afternoon.”
[I will post a sentry. ]
“Do it that way.”
I don’t think they’re covering anything up.
If it was a place with something I shouldn’t know about, there’s no way Ellis would have mentioned the lab during their first meeting.
“I will spend the afternoon in the lab, and in the morning I plan to repeat the introduction that I skipped today. And I’m going to take a quick look at your skills.”
I said, looking back at Rita who was quietly watching behind her.
“I want to see your strength that day, Rita. Is that okay?”
[If you wish, I am willing… ]
The answer was yes, but for some reason Rita glanced at me like a girl who was hesitant about something.
“If it was an unreasonable request, don’t worry, just tell me. “I have no intention of forcing myself to see it.”
[Well, it’s not like that… Ugh… ]
“… ?”
As I tilted her head, Rita carefully approached me and gently pressed her soft, soft breasts against my chest and said,
[To show her full power… Hehe, she needs to replenish her powers a bit… ]
Even though there was no direct contact with me today, Rita was clearly feeling embarrassed right now. At least it seemed that way to me.
For some reason, I responded to that tickling confession that even made me feel embarrassed by briefly clearing her throat.
“Then… “Let’s sleep together in my bed today.”
Rita didn’t answer, just nodded her head once.
