Festival of Humanoid Races (1)
After receiving a call from Nell, I left home early the next day.
After sneaking out of the nearest teleportation door to the Kingdom, I got on Rir, which I brought with me as usual, and headed for the royal capital along a secluded road.
At first, I was going to leave Enne behind since I wasn’t expecting a battle, but she said to me with a stern look, “…I still have not forgotten when master was kidnapped before” to which Lefi added, “That fool tends to get involved in many things, Enne, you must protect him” so I had no choice but to bring her with me.
Also, Layla and Lyuu asked me, “Yuki, should we prepare enough food for the next few days? It may come handy in case of an emergency…” “Master, you put all the important things in your item box, right? I’d like you to confirm everything!” to which I showed them the contents of my item box.
Illuna and Shii also asked, “Onii-chan, are you sure you’re okay? Please be sure to return home, okay?” to which I replied, “I am strong, so you don’t have to worry about it”.
As a matter of fact, I have been noticing such a trend every time I go out for a while now, but lately I felt like my family members have become even more overprotective of me.
…Well, I do realize that I had also been worrying about them a lot lately, so I couldn’t really say anything about it.
I had gotten used to going to the royal capital like this, and after about two hours of running, the outer walls of the royal capital became visible in the distance.
From here, it would be impossible to go unnoticed, so I made Rir proceed slowly so as not to frighten the humans while I kept my gaze single-mindedly on the surroundings.
After reaching the huge gate of the outer wall, I was soon led into the royal capital by the soldiers waiting for my arrival there.
With a tense expression, they told me that they had received a message from the Hero. They were told that the Demon Emperor would be on his way here and that as soon as I arrived, they were to lead me to a reception-like room in a nearby building, and Rir was also with me but smaller.
It seemed that Nell was already on her way here as she arrived in less than 10 minutes.
“Hey, Oni-san! Sorry, I made you wait a bit.”
“No, it’s okay. You’re probably busy right now.”
I left the building with her and we both rode on Rir, which I made bigger again.
Me in the front, Nell in the back.
“Right, the elves are also here, and I’m also here to deal with any trouble as well. They are so respectful of me though that it’s a little embarrassing.” (Nell)
“Hahaha, well, you did help the elves a lot during the last war, didn’t you? You are a hero after all.” (Yuki)
“Yes, I’m the hero who got captured by the Demon King! How scary is that?” (Nell)
Nell said as she laughed and hugged me from behind.
Her fragrance wafted through the air and the feel of her soft body was pleasant.
“Oh, I’m scary, so scary. I’m gonna have to cage you up a lot more, so you will not become an enemy of me!” (Yuki)
“Fufufu, I told you, didn’t I? I’m looking forward to you trying it.” (Nell)
While continuing to play with each other, we proceeded through the royal capital.
We soon arrived at the royal castle in the center of Alshir, the royal capital, and were immediately ushered inside, where Nell led me to a place that looked like a conference room.
There were soldiers standing by the wall and a man and a woman facing each other across the table.
There, King Reyd Glorio Allysia of the Kingdom of Allysia and Queen Naphthalese Faraye of the Elves.
“Demon King, it has been a long time.”
“Oh, it’s been a long time. Welcome.”
I also returned greetings to the two, and together with Nell, who came with me, we chatted for a while about what was going on.
We talked about each of us, our countries, and the current situation.
Well, I guess that was as far as the greetings go.
