Chapter 113 – Demon Castle

After the talk, we took a shower and went back to our original seats.

He asked me to talk dirty, so I wondered what would happen at first, but it turned out that we got along better, so it was fortunate.

As soon as I returned to the room, the warrior greeted me.

“What did you talk about so hard that it took you so long?”

Hmm.

I told the truth, but from their point of view, they must feel betrayed, right?

No matter how much the hero asked, wouldn’t it be possible to hide a story like this?

– It is a secret.

“That, is it?”

The hero answered with an awkward smile, as if he didn’t know I was going to say it was a secret.

However, it was impossible to say that the party members were showing off the two of them mixing their bodies.

I hope you understand.

I think if you are a hero, you will understand.

“What are you going to do today?”

I smiled at the hero’s question.

What are you asking for the obvious?

Instead of answering, I just lifted up my skirt to show the lower half of my body with nothing on.

“Ah, ahaha… “

My answer seemed satisfactory.

I’m glad that’s the case.

I laughed heehee

.

.

“It’s not long.”

Everyone nodded their heads at the warrior’s words.

Arrived in a new city.

It was known as the closest city to the Demon Castle.

Because of that, it was harder than other places, and it was full of veteran adventurers and had many strong soldiers.

Above all, the reason why this city comes to us with tension is no different.

It’s because from here on, I have to walk to the Devil’s Castle.

Having to walk to enemy lines is the biggest challenge.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

As soon as we arrived in town, the coachman greeted us.

I wonder if that person noticed everything that the hero and I were doing to our heart’s content.

Still, it’s clear that he’s very considerate when he doesn’t say anything to us.

It’s hard to imagine not noticing…

I’m not going to meet anyone again anyway, so can’t I just think that way?

As soon as we arrived in the city, we set off right away without even thinking about resting.

Resting is because I think I’ve already had enough rest in the city I was in before.

Right now, I only want to quickly go to Demon King Song and win the Demon King’s favor, and completely rest my travels.

I should go back to the original continent and buy a big house and live there doing magic research.

Personally, I plan to find a way to return to the original world.

Well, I don’t think there’s any way to go back, but… If I can go back, I think I want to go back with the dragon.

The hero probably doesn’t know much about the world I originally lived in, so I wanted to take him and show him that these things exist.

“Now I really have to go on foot… “

“It’s the closest town to the Demon King’s Castle, so it’ll be a short walk.”

How long should I really walk?

Once you get a map to the Devil’s Castle, you should just look at the map and go.

But how can a village exist around the Demon Castle?

I don’t know either.

It was because in the game, there was only a setting that the strength of the surrounding monsters was transcendent and the terrain was rough because it was a village near the demon castle.

It was said in the game, but now there was no reason to think about how the hell there was a village around the castle.

It’s an area I’ll be leaving soon anyway.

I had no intention of staying on the Demon Continent for long.

– It’s already hard…

I’m a wizard after all…

I think I’ve said it before, but my stats are ridiculously low, except for my magical power, so I’m going to die from exhaustion just by walking this far…

The warrior who couldn’t see my hardship asked me if I wanted to hug him.

Honestly, I wish I could hug you… It’s because I’m slowly starting to notice the surroundings.

If I ask for a hug because it’s a little difficult, won’t it be seen as being too childish?

I didn’t want to look like that.

I replied that it was fine and I would walk on my own.

Of course, it wasn’t long after he said that, and eventually he collapsed from exhaustion.

“Why did you refuse to help me… “

Looking at me lying on his back, exhausted, the warrior sighed and asked,

No, honestly, isn’t it a bit like that when you think that you are carried on your back wherever you go?

I tried to do my best, but who knew it would turn out like this?

Sad…

“Looking at something like this, it’s like father and daughter.”

Cecilia, who was behind, smiled and said.

I was talking about something, and you said that me and the hero are like father and daughter.

Father and daughter…

Daughter…

Occasionally, when I was riding on the warrior’s back, I felt like a child. I don’t know why, but I think it’s because he’s so much bigger than me that he feels that way.

Of course, I am well aware of what the hero looks like at night… I don’t feel like a father at all.

It’s a big deal if you’re a real father.

Aside from being violent enough to kill someone, you’re already pregnant, so you can’t be a father.

“Dad… It’s a joke too~”

The hero laughed and said not to say such things.

Still, the stiff atmosphere has been released, so it would be nice if this was good too.

“… !”

The warrior suddenly looked around with a hard expression.

If you reacted that way, there was only one answer.

“Rumia, how much magic do you have left?”

– There’s a lot left, so don’t worry.

In the first place, cooling magic didn’t use that much mana, so there was no worry about running out of mana in an emergency.

However, it is certain that the recovery speed is noticeably slower, so if you need to rest because of lack of magic, it is a magic that must be turned off.

“Be careful. I don’t know where it will come from.”

The monsters that appear here have strength that cannot be compared to those of other continents. The monster called Anaconda that I met for the first time from the front is nothing, and the monsters in this place are all madmen.

Among them, the monsters that appear in the forest…

“… !”

The hero reacted instantaneously and thrust his sword behind me.

– Kiek!

A monster’s scream comes from behind.

There was no reason for me to be surprised, since the hero would not attack me anyway.

“It’s a Shadow Runner!”

At the words of the hero, the detection magic was spread around.

It is to temporarily absorb the demonic energy of the Shadow Runner killed by the hero, check the form, and then track it down. Even in the game, these guys have skills that can shake off basic tracking magic, so there’s no way to attack them unless they come from the other side first.

So, you can assume that you have the right to go first.

However, there are a total of two ways to have the first attack, the first is to attack as a hero. Unlike Ruril, Cecilia, and Lumia, the hero has a basic passive that allows him to detect invisible enemies, so the right to attack first is meaningless.

The second is magic tracking, one of Lumia’s magic.

It’s a magic that can be obtained by going to a fairly high-spec level, but it’s not a big problem because it’s basic to be able to use it when you come to the Demon Continent.

This was one of the reasons speedrun was so hard with this game.

Most users use this magic to catch them, but if there is no magic, the priority is to run away from them as much as possible.

But running away is not that easy.

If you push in the standard way, the opponent won’t have much of a problem, but if it becomes the same situation as it is now, it will become difficult.

However, that would only be the case if I was a mage with a low level.

– Can you see where it is?”

“You look very good~! Thank you Rumia!”

With a happy expression on her face, Ruril gathers her magical energy into an arrow and shoots it.

As soon as the runners can be seen, arrows fly and pierce each one.

Since several magic arrows were created and fired at the same time, they were pierced at the same time and disappeared in an instant.

It was possible because Ruril was a skilled person who could shoot an arrow right away once he was seen.

So was Cecilia.

There were many cases where I was attacked first before I could perform a miracle, so I couldn’t move properly in the game and was hit.

Contrary to its notoriety in the game, it was too easy.

“Whoa… Thank god.”

The hero sighed in relief as he looked down at the runners who had disappeared leaving only magic stones with an expression of sincerity.

I also wondered what would happen at first, but it was amazing that I could catch it so easily.

“It’s fortunate, but you can’t slow down.”

The journey to the demon castle had just begun.

No one knows how many monsters he will encounter in the meantime.
