Chapter 392 – The Road to the Underworld

Chapter 392: The Road to the Demon Realm

“Huh? Now?”

“Okay.
Before the enemy conducts a large-scale crossing.
Let’s go while we’re in shock over Alberic’s defeat.
Enemies will pick up their morale and wait until the air forts arrive before engaging in an all-out war.
The enemy dragons were also quite injured just now.
Aerial fortifications are slow, so you have time to join them.
So, you must go now.”

“The enemy is in front of me, so can I go back?”

“There are three reasons to go.”

Breathing, Lumika shining in my arms.

“First, to defend air rights.
You have to call Karamit, the powerful black dragon that Dad contracted with.
We only have one dragon right now, and it’s hard to defend our skies with it.
Without Nene, we can’t defend the sky against the 5th Dragon’s Aerial Fortress.”

Wise words.

“Second, I must inherit the ‘power of fire’ and become stronger.”

“That is a bit weak.
What about the third?”

“Third… Listen up.”

When I listened to Rumika’s mouth, a lark-like whisper conveyed heavy words.

“Due to the recent rebellion of the central aristocrats, the castle is cluttered.
I think I should inherit the power of fire and solidify my position as the Demon King.
If we try to maintain the front lines, the demon castle may turn its back on us with the nobles’ rebellion.
Then we get caught in the middle and can’t get anywhere.”

“…”

Shit.
There’s not a single thing to consider.
The Power of Fire is not just a simple fire magic power-up, but a proof of blood that proves the legitimacy of the demon lord.
It is a must-have qualification to become a true demon king.

“Then let’s go to the demon realm.”

“Right now?”

“Right now.
Star Queen, please help.
When the enemy’s momentum is broken and they are confused, you have to go quickly.”

“The Demon King was forgetting who his disciple was.
A person with a child, who doesn’t care about himself like this…
Even a small shock can cause a miscarriage, so you need to be careful.
Whose child do you have?”

Two women unconsciously put their hands on her belly.
No, three women.
Even Angela put her hand on her stomach.

“… Sir Angela?
Kyeong-eun why… ?”

Arch.
The quick-witted Rumika noticed it at once.

“Kuhm! That, that…”

Talk to Angela about her test results.

“Hey… !!
Can’t stand it!!
You beast!
Ugh!
Do you want to go to war with pregnant women?!”

Puck! Puck!

“Ah! Ouch! That, that… !”

Lumica hitting me.

“Unbelievable…
It’s not like you gave birth before me… ?
I haven’t even announced my pregnancy yet…”

Stella’s eyes go blank.

“Yes?
The dream of the moon was a prenatal dream?
It’s amazing that you have a dream when you have a child!
Hmmm… Moon? … Sun?
Uhm?”

Marianne is thinking hard about something.

***

“… Therefore, I am departing right now, together with Kukseo.
We will depart in strict secrecy, so please take good care of the field troops during your absence, Commander.”

“Haha.
The old servant is worried that His Majesty is only accompanied by a letter from the state.”

“After all, you have to go to the Demon Realm alone.”

“Then… Is it true that the rumor that Guk-seo has dark blood?”

“That’s right.
Ezio, you assisted me as a military commander.
It’s a pity that I was only able to talk about it now.
That’s why I’m telling you before the official announcement.
I hope you will maintain discipline during Jim and Kookseo’s absence.”

“Haha. Don’t worry, Your Majesty.”

Rumika making a request to Commander Ezio.

“Commander.
If you hear of an enemy attack while I’m away, open this letter.
If you didn’t attack, just return the letter when I come.”

I gave the contingency plan to Ezio and called Zach and Ludwig.

“You will assist the commander while I am away.
The data is here, the plan of action is here.
In particular, the riverbank I prepared has a cowhide installed here, and make sure to collect water.
Logs are cut down so that they can be used as rafts or wooden fences.
An autumn typhoon is coming soon, so you need to be prepared.
Payment is…”

In my absence, Commander Ezio took over so that I could carry out my duties as well.
Since it was a matter of utmost secrecy, I called only Commander Ezio and Duke Dupre to tell the story.

“I will be back.
Angie, Marie.
Take care of yourself.”

“My lord, I want to take you to the Demon Realm, but…
Forgive me for not being able to accompany you.”

“Going to the Demon Realm is not an ordinary thing.

“Camyu-nim, take care of yourself and go.
Oh, take this.”

“Huh?
What’s this?”

“They say you can come back in a few days, but eating is important, right?
I did my best to pack a lunch here.
There are also preserved foods, so you can eat them in order from the top.”

“When will this happen again…”

Click.

Upon opening it, even at first glance, neatly prepared sandwiches and divine fruits filled the top compartment.
I think there will be things like dried fruit, dried fish, and beef jerky below.

“Bandages and first-aid kits are here.
Other tools here.
The clothes are here.”

“To pack so neatly in one backpack… Thank you marie
Since Master has been brought to Stella’s bedroom, tell Ann to stay by Master’s side.
Tell Van Dark about your circumstances.”

Jiying—.

A dimensional door opens.

“Come on, let’s go.
To the Demon King.”

Me, Rumika, Stella, and Ran enter the portal.
Received a farewell by a small number of people, and departed immediately.

Wheeeee…

A place where the scenery outside flows like countless watercolors passing by.
I asked Rumika inside the dimensional door.

“Rumica.”

“Oh, brother.”

“But why are you going to the Devil Castle when you are going to the Demon Realm?”

“That’s because the road to the demon realm is in the castle of demons.”

“Huh?
No way… Was the bottomless pit in the castle of demons?”

“Oh. Didn’t you know?

Rumika explained step by step.

“The reason why the demon king cannot transfer the capital even though the distance in a straight line from the border to Amity is short is not only because of the symbolism of the capital chosen by the first ‘explorer’ demon king, or because nobles own real estate.
It is because the abyss, which is the passageway to the demon realm, is located in the basement of the castle.”

“It looks like the Sky Castle elevator is located south of the Amity Castle.”

Stella is there

“Yes.
The location of the capital was not determined solely by geographical advantages for commerce, agriculture, or defense.
It has to do with the location of such historical remains.”

Jiying—.

“Arrived.”

Dig!

“This is the meeting room at that time.”

The place where I brought the treasure of the gold dragon Nuvacane with Stella.
The treasures that had been like a mountain were neatly organized and placed in a box.
Text on each box.

“Has the amount decreased a lot?”

“I made a request to Cheonghaejin, so I had to spend some money on weapons, food, war horses, etc.
The rest of this room is mostly reserved for Karamit’s summoning.
See the magic circle over there?
Oh.
I set my brother’s share aside as I said the other day.”

“You don’t make my money?”

“In this busy situation, if the king only increases his personal wealth, he will not be able to use it.
Isn’t there just one or two places to go for money?
These days, the national treasury has been stumbling due to the lack of tax revenue, but thanks to my brother, it has been a great help. “

“I’m proud.”

“And I showed my share to my brother earlier?”

“Huh? What?”

“Valkyrie Armor.
Found it here.
There was some kind of marble in the box that Nuvacane hid tightly.
I thought it was Yeouiju, but I remembered what her brother said and found out it was Valkyrie Armor.”

“Ah, the treasure of Nuvacane!
He had everything, that guy.
It’s like the leader of the seven guardian dragons in Amity.”

Jerk, jerk.

Me and Rumika said goodbye to Stella and Ran.

“I guess we have to say goodbye here.
I’ll be back in two days.”

“I’ll be back, ma’am.”

“You really can’t get hurt.
Never.”

“Okay. Don’t worry.”

Tight.

Stella hugs me.
The freshness of the pink hair envelops me affectionately.
Stella untied her embrace and wrapped Rumika’s hand in hers.

“Take care of yourself too, Demon King.
In fact, Nene told me every time.
Pregnancy is always careful from the beginning, and you have to be careful again.
Even a small shock can cause big trouble.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Please, I want to follow the two of you, but the resources to send the two of you to the Demon Realm are tight and I can’t help it…
I’m so very worried.
Honey, you must take care of the Demon King.”

After listening to Stella’s trustworthiness, the two of us leave.

“Sir Lan.
Please maintain strict discipline while Jim is away.
Together with the guards, I firmly protect the castle from rebellion.”

“I will protect it with my life.”

“During my absence, please take care of the Queen of the Stars as if you were serving me.
When I return, I will announce the succession of fire and head straight back to the front.”

Stella decided to stay in the castle with Ran to transport us when we returned.
Because once you go to the wire, there’s no way to contact them.

“I will ask the Queen.
After arriving at the Black Sun and completing the succession of fire, you can send shortwave signals with your magic crystal ball.
Then, if you activate this magic circle according to this order, the treasure will be sent to the magic circle we drew in the Pandemonium.
Then you will be able to summon the black dragon Karamit from there.
After that, I will return with the Black Dragon.”

“Leave it to me!”

Stella proudly spread her bare breasts over his dress.
Cuteness that makes you smile.
How can that cowardice be so reassuring?

“Stellar.
Do you remember practicing with me?
I am reviewing what I did every night.”

“Well, then~ I will definitely do it!”

Nod

“Practice? What practice?”

“You will find out soon.
Rumika, I will do it with you too.”

“Hmm~?”

Suspicious glance.

Ran says goodbye to Stella.

“Where are we going?
Isn’t that the way to go underground?”

“Brother, I have to pack my things too.
I’m a woman, how many days have you slept outside?
Women have a lot to take care of~”

It’s Rumika’s room…

“Come to think of it, oppa, it’s been a while since I’ve been in my room, right?
How many times has this been?”

“I haven’t been here in a while.
Maybe this time… Fourth? Fifth?
I’ll count it on one hand.
Oh my God, when I think of the back then, sitting here on your bed and kissing, the nanny found out and made a fuss… !”

“Foot!
I was nervous the day before the magic tournament, so I did it to cheer you up…
If there were men in my room, my dad would play a sutra.
I said I couldn’t get married.”

“If you know we’re dating, shouldn’t we let you come to hang out?”

Talking about this and that, we arrived at the room.

Awesome—.

“Has that changed?”

“The last time my brother came was a few years ago.
Of course.”

“Still, the concept remains the same.”

If Nene’s room is purple, Rumika’s room is red.
Whether red or purple, the cost of dyeing is very expensive, and it is especially difficult to use that much silk of that color.
Bedding, curtains, and blankets are accented with intense red, and the wallpaper, ceiling, and lighting are harmoniously decorated in pink.
A princess room in harmony with red and pink.
If Stella’s room was pink and had a cute rabbit pattern, it felt like removing the rabbit pattern and adding red.

“Do you have this cat doll?”

“Someone gave it to me, so I have it.
Don’t look around too much, just sit here in a chair and relax.
If you’re tired, lie down on the bed.
Ah… Brother.
Not now…
Saying I had to pack!
Now, if you keep wrapping your waist, I’m in trouble… !
Chuu, chook!
Wait, wait huh?
Stay calm here Our teddy bear! Side!”

As Rumika enters the powder room, she looks around.
Hmm… That’s the magic tournament championship trophy and certificate.
That’s a beauty pageant championship trophy.
That’s a drawing contest, writing competition, swordsmanship contest…
Didn’t you go to an arm wrestling contest?
I think I’ll win right away.
The women’s division is natural, and the unified championship is easy!

The sound of something rustling and being picked up is in full swing.

“…”

I’m bored.
I carefully got up from my chair and went to my desk.

“Hmmmm. ‘Advanced Fire Magic Applications’.
This is a high level of difficulty.
I need to learn fire magic too.
These are the love letters we exchanged in the past.
And this…”

Took.

What was scattered between the books… Bra.
I probably forgot to put it in the laundry basket and threw it away, but the maid passed by without finding it.

Artifacts.

“Mmm, the pads are worth it.”

No, a C cup is not small, but rather large.
What kind of pad did you put in something so thick?
Is this a scam?
Come to think of it, Rumika was once surprised by how big her breasts were all of a sudden.
Doing something reckless like this is probably…

“Nene’s influence.”

It is a tragedy caused by competition.
It’s like a child copying their mother’s makeup.
Your strengths are your silence followed and hips.
Why did you do that?

Chin.

Instead, I put it in the laundry basket.
It’s too old to wear over your head, and it doesn’t smell.

Sniff sniff. Sniff sniff.

“It’s here…
It smells like fresh underwear.”

It’s punishment for bringing me to my room and leaving me alone.
Let me explore your underwear.

Dreuk.

Not here.

Dreuk.

Not here either

Dreuk.

Here too… Oh.

“There are so many leggings.”

It’s going to be a good match with Angela.
Tank tops and sports bras abound.
Is the color very nice?
Thank you again to the Prophet King for bringing this up as future fashion.
Glory be to his name!
Dolphin pants are a legend, but to think that this kind of fashion is popular.
The Prophet King is God, and leggings are invincible!

Dreuk.

“!!!
Found… All!”

At las… !

With trembling hands, he takes out his neatly folded underwear.

Gorgeous red bra.
A neat red bra.
A nice white bra.
Mint, black, purple, turquoise…

“Good, good.”

Sew… Haaa…

It sucks so well it doesn’t smell.
I’m sorry

“It’s not even a sleepover, it’s a won…”

Sniff sniff.

I take out the black panties Lumika received the other day, smell it, and then smell the bra.
It’s tantalizing, but good!
Try wearing a bra on your head, and putting your fists in it.

“Even if you put your fist in, there’s still a little bit left.
Let’s put two.”

This time exploring panties.
Hahafun!!

“Clean.”

Purify the body

Fluff.

“Ah~ I like the cushion feeling~”

Lumica’s bed.

Hmm… Ha…

A refined fragrance.
Rumika is a child who smells good in her hair.
Even when we were dating, she kept telling me not to smell the top of my head, and she got mad at me, but what if even that smells like shampoo?
Like Angie, there are women with nice hair.

“Good night…”

“Brother~
I’m resting… What are you wearing on your head?”

“Your chest covering.”

“You brazen mew!!
What are you doing without changing the color of your face?!
Give it up!”

“I am a wife, not a girlfriend.
Isn’t it common sense to explore your underwear when you enter a room?”

“Where did you learn that crazy common sense?!
We haven’t even gotten together yet?!
Come slowly into my space!
You’re surprised!!
This will be resolved with time!
Don’t cry like that
Even if you’re married, sharing these secrets requires some emotional and temporal preparation.
… Oppa, take your panties down from your nose!!
No matter how much you give it as a gift, you take care of it too much!!
I’m embarrassed!!”

Crying

“I was upset because I was away from you for so long.
I like it because it makes me feel like I’m surrounded by you.”

“Kuu… !
Well, if you say that, it seems like I said something rather harsh… ?!”

Rumika doesn’t know what to do with a happy expression and an angry expression at the same time.

“Keugh… I’ll give you a hug, so put it away hurry.”

“Yes!!”

When I returned the bra with a smile on my face, Rumika quickly snatched it away.
I opened her ax eye and stared at her.

Prison…

He lay down next to me and hugged me with his chest.

“Isn’t it true that you are surrounded by me?”

Oh good

“Okay~
Satisfied. Hi-Hi.”

Rumika awkwardly twisted her body and glanced at me.

“Brother, you know…”

“Huh.”

“When we go to the demon realm, can’t we wear those clothes?”

“Huh? What clothes?”

“The one I just hung up on.
… That.”

“No, those clothes?!?!”
