Chapter 934 – Day 105 – For the Princess
“Great warriors of Gallagon! Move quickly according to the orders of Crown Princess Venus!”
‘Hayley Galagon’, who shouted loudly from the bridge, had more work to do than ever before.
As Asmodeus had to quickly and accurately move her horse to one location using the ‘non-process’, the only means of movement across the skies of the land where all things were frozen, she gave orders, received reports, and thought in a louder voice than usual. After that, a new command was issued.
“Contrary to concerns, you divided one fleet into three fleets without any major problems.”
Hedone, who was sitting in the corner of the bridge, spoke a word while drinking tea with a calm expression.
It was a bit unfortunate, but she was not a woman who could play an active role physically or by using force in such a huge war.
“This fleet, called the Sword of Gallagon, appears to have been properly prepared for quite some time.”
Hestia, sitting next to him, had a relaxed expression on her face.
“To be able to operate such a wonderful airship fleet. I may have underestimated Galagon’s power.”
“Hedone did not underestimate you.”
Hestia sighed and smiled.
“The airships that are currently filling the sky were originally… Well, she is not Princess Hailey, so I think it would be a little disrespectful for me to say this.”
“… Are you planning to say that there is no power that you cannot possess by nature?”
“That’s right. Galagon has been a truly frighteningly cold place for a very long time. Cold can unexpectedly bring about many dangers that people can’t even imagine.”
“The answer to that problem was airship, but it was a power that could not be easily obtained, right?”
Hestia nods her head.
“According to the information I have, floating stones, which can be said to be the core of an airship, are not something that can be easily obtained. If it were not for the tremendous cooperation of Miss Diana Redblood, who is in love with the princess, this flagship could barely have been launched. We can mine as much as we can in one year.”
“… It almost feels like the women who love the princess are uniting as one to create a small miracle.”
Hedone, who was sitting and watching Hailey moving around busily, held the teacup filled with a good scent tightly with her hand and caressed it.
“I hope things work out well.”
“It seems like Hedone is worried about more than I am.”
“It seems like everyone is planning to carry out the mission given in this fight brilliantly because they love the idiot princess, but it has become dangerous as everyone has scattered.”
“It will be okay. All of us, including myself, are women who can be considered strong in an empire where the sun never sets. We are not women so weak that they die in vain in the counterattack of a petty demon.”
Despite Hestia’s words, Hedone couldn’t help but express her concern.
To be honest, Hedone felt extremely uneasy about this operation, to the extent that she wanted to say that if possible, it would be better for everyone to move together with the princess.
“I asked what you were talking about.”
Elaine, who let out a snort, sat down next to Hedone, putting her hips against her, and lightly put her arms around her shoulders.
“Hey, Elaine?”
“What is the woman who loves Venus so worried about?”
“I am worried because I love the Foolish Princess. She is someone who wants to love and take responsibility for everything that comes into her hands and arms to the end.”
Haha!!! That’s definitely true. And it seems like Hedone has all the worries that Venus doesn’t have.”
Elaine smiled cheerfully and nodded, taking the tea cup brought by the maid nearby with her left hand and drinking it all in one gulp.
“Whew…! Don’t worry. The worst thing will never happen.”
“Elaine…”
“Venus is not a fool and is quite wise. Didn’t you prepare for her emergency? Queen Hestia here is also wearing the armor she wore last time.”
Hestia cleared her throat when she saw Elaine pointing at herself with her finger.
Then, she grabbed the nape of her dress with both hands and pulled it down, showing off her pitch-black armor.
“And it was Arcana? I refused, saying I didn’t need that, but you gave it to everyone too. There can’t be a problem.”
“Everyone’s armor and arcana are actually being used for the first time today. In a place where the princess is not…”
Hedone couldn’t shake off her anxiety, but Elaine smiled very coolly and grabbed Hedone’s shoulders and shook her from side to side.
“Don’t worry too much. We have received help from Venus in various ways, but we were not protected because we were weak and unable to protect ourselves.”
“It is just as Elaine said. The princess has continued to show amazing miracles, but she is not so weak that our lives are in danger just because she has disappeared.”
To ease Hedone’s anxiety, she spoke to Hestia with a wonderful smile, and only then Hedone cleared her throat a little and lifted her pure white teacup to her mouth. 〉
“… Everyone is working so hard, but I can’t be in anxiety forever. I have to do what I can.”
Hedone cannot use fancy swordsmanship or fancy magic.
Hedone was barely able to shake off the anxiety rising in her heart as she remembered what only she could do.

“Why on earth is Hestia making such a fuss about how embarrassing this outfit is? I don’t understand.”
Arisa spoke while tapping the armor that was attached to her entire body with her fingers.
“That’s Arisa…”
The princess looked at Arisa, who usually wore high-legged clothes, with a complicated expression, and closed her mouth without speaking anymore.
“This is the lab Asmodeus was talking about, right? I’m surprised that we have to go down to the basement as if it were a given.”
“Aren’t all the demonic facilities we’ve explored so far underground?”
“So, that’s what’s surprising. How can they all be underground? It’s a laboratory in the first place? Isn’t it difficult to maintain it if it’s underground?”
Arisa, the princess, and Ceres, who were grumbling non-stop, were exploring deep underground.
Based on the information Asmodeus revealed, the group came to destroy the ‘laboratory guarded by Levia’, but contrary to plan, things were not going as easily as planned.
“Mr. Ceres. I’m just asking in case. Isn’t there a chance that Asmodeus told us about this place to screw us?”
“I don’t think that’s possible at all. But it’s the only possibility.”
“You’re not saying it doesn’t exist at all. What is it?”
Arisa’s expression was not bright as she was going down endless stairs.
“There is a possibility that Levia or Satan did not hand over correct information to Asmodeus from the beginning.”
“Didn’t you say this is information to be used when returning?”
“Yes, so to paraphrase, it means that the information about this place is fake…”
“Are you saying you just abandoned Asmodeus from the beginning? That’s right. If that’s the case, you can’t criticize Asmodeus. He was abandoned by his sisters.”
As soon as Arisa, who was grumbling, finally saw that a huge door had appeared in front of her, she began to clap her hands lightly.
“Venus!!!”
“There is definitely a door…”
The princess looked in bewilderment at the circular door, which was so crude that it seemed like a huge lid.
“Ugh… What else can I do to open this door? Friday’s power didn’t work last time.”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to use magic to open the door?”
Arisa smiled and created a magic circle in her palm. Ceres thought in her heart that it wouldn’t work, but she didn’t bother to stop him from doing so.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on?”
“Isn’t this door locked? Unless my magic is fundamentally wrong, this door is open right now.”
“According to what Asmodeus said, the laboratory was a fairly important place. How could the door to a place like this be wide open?”
Although the princess was puzzled, she placed her hand on the huge circular door in front of her.
“And that’s it. In the first place! No matter where I look, this door is not locked right now…”
“It’s just closed, right? It’s not locked.”
The princess, who was caressing the enormous door, gave up getting more angry and started pulling with all her might.
“Uuuuu of be the said! I see why you didn’t lock the door!!! Isn’t that a ridiculously heavy door to the point where I think it would be too heavy even with my own strength!”
“Cheer up! Venus! Fighting!!!”
“Please help me with magic too…!”
Panting, the princess pulled open the huge door with great difficulty. As soon as the door opened, Arisa clapped her hands and took a step inside.
“Well… Then, would you like to see what’s in this laboratory overflowing with secrets… Where demons research?”
“Arisa… The reason I brought you here…”
“I know. I know. You wanted me to interpret the unexpected evil magic of the demons, right? I’m just looking around this lab with that in mind, so don’t worry too much.”
Arisa winked and started walking down the hallway of the huge laboratory with clean white floors.
“But are you in charge of something really important here? There doesn’t even seem to be a demon guarding it…”
Arisa, who was talking as if she was at a gift shop, suddenly stopped talking and stared silently at what was visible through the huge glass.
“What on earth are you looking at… Oh, my.”
“Isn’t it amazing, Venus?”
“Do you find it fascinating to see something like this? Isn’t it a bit cruel?”
As soon as she heard the princess’s words, Arisa shrugged her shoulders.
“Is there anything cruel about it? It’s just a dissected human body.”
What Arisa was looking at for a long time was a human body.
“I really don’t understand your sensibility when you say this is amazing.”
“What, Venus likes pussy, right? Wouldn’t it be nice to see what it looks like with your own eyes?”
“Do you really need to see what’s inside the ship?! It looks like it’s going to be a nightmare, so I don’t want to…!”
The princess made an ‘
“Anyway, all I can say is that it’s fascinating. Since demons are not humans, is there a need to dissect fellow demons?”
“… What did you say?”
“Oh, didn’t you know? I wasn’t joking about the pussy. What’s behind the glass wall here are the people of the empire where the sun never sets, not ordinary people on earth, but demons, or beings called nectar.”
The princess blinked her eyes for a long time at what Arisa said while pointing.
“There’s no need for that… No way.”
The princess swallowed her saliva and looked at Ceres’ face.
“Could you convey my story to Hedone and Elaine? It seems that the place called ‘Sanctuary’ is not as clean as I thought.”
The princess had no choice but to trust her own intuition.
