Chapter 114 – Demon Castle
I walked down the street, beating the monsters that came out from time to time.
“It’s strange… Obviously, there weren’t many monsters when I rode the wagon… “
“I mean… “
At first, we maintained a good atmosphere while talking to each other, but that was only for a short time.
Since the Demonic Beast kept appearing without rest, even if they had fought well at first, they could see that they were slowly getting tired.
“Whoa… “
The hero wiped away his sweat.
Even so, the Demon Continent itself belongs to the hot side, but now, in order to conserve magic as much as possible in the ongoing fight, even the cooling magic has been turned off, so it must be hotter.
Yes, even the heat was harassing us in a difficult state.
You will be very tired.
The hero also looked back at us and asked if he had judged that going any further would be dangerous.
“Shall we take a break?”
Yes, this has been a long walk.
If you are going to boldly attack the castle, or if you are far from the castle, you can declare the sanctuary and spend the night without worrying about the attack of the demons, but now, if you do that, you will say, “We are here!” And it’s an absolute no-no because I proudly declare it to the demon king.
I used clean magic around me to erase traces as much as possible so as not to be noticed by demon beasts, and found a shelter where I could settle down properly.
“I think it will be fine here.”
It was a small cave with a low elevation difference.
If you spend the night quietly here, you won’t be attacked by the Witchbeast.
‘Whoa… ‘
There are so many monsters…
[I don’t think I’ve ever used as much mana as I did today except the last time I spent all my mana to catch an anaconda?]
‘Ugh… Do you remember that time… ?’
[I can’t remember. Because it was a magic that was used with the worst efficiency.]
‘Hmm… ‘
Saying that makes me a little sad.
At that time, I had no choice.
In a situation where they had never used magic in their lives, everyone would have done that if they were in a sudden crisis.
It was said that he could use magic, but he did not know how to use it, so it was the result of trying to somehow extract the power he felt from his body and blow it away.
Still, since it froze the anaconda with high magic resistance in an instant, wouldn’t it be a good magic in terms of power?
[To say that, he collapsed as soon as he wrote it.]
That…
Hmm…
I have nothing to say.
It’s true because it’s true.
No matter how powerful it is, if it’s enough to knock you down after using it once, it’s meaningless or the same. It seems that there is a wizard somewhere who can cause a huge explosion and cannot use any magic all day long to say that it is meaningless.
Anyway… In conclusion, a wizard who can use versatile and powerful magic is the most standard as a wizard.
“Still, since I’m sitting with a bonfire open, it’s subtly comfortable.”
At first, I was thinking of making a light orb and using it as a light source, but the hero said that it would be better to just light a bonfire because it would slow down the recovery of magic power.
‘I think it’s better to just use light magic… ‘
It’s hot because it’s here…
At least it was less hot because it was inside the cave, but if it was outside like this, it would have been so hot that I might have steamed to death.
I looked down at the campfire.
Honestly, if you wake up after a day’s sleep, I think you’ll recover enough even if you use the cooling magic to sleep…
I pursed my lips.
Well, at first I wondered if I should be sleeping in a place like this, but when I sat down, it wasn’t that bad.
That seemed to be the same for the Hero as well as Cecilia and Ruril.
It seems that Ruril was originally used to sleeping in a place like this, and since the hero is a regressor, he endured a more difficult trip well.
It was none other than Cecilia who was most worried, but fortunately, Cecilia was enduring this difficult trip well.
I am…
I do not know.
This body was originally an adventurer, and Lumia was helping me in this and that, so it wasn’t that hard.
“How long do we have left until the castle?”
The hero put on a worried expression at Ruril’s question.
No matter how brave he was, it would be difficult to measure the distance between his current location and the castle of the Demon King. Besides, how long ago was the last time I went to the Devil Castle, and it would be rather strange to notice it at once.
“I don’t know… At this rate, I’ll just have to walk another four days. In the first place, we started from the nearest city to the demon castle.”
Four days
It’s definitely close.
Of course, if you walk for four days, it’s not that close.
However, if you look at it from the perspective of the continent, that is, from the overall perspective, you can say that it is close.
Watching the hero make rough calculations with a map taken out of his pocket, I looked around.
I wouldn’t say that I want to do it even in a place like this… ?
No matter how brave you are, you should be fine with knowing that there are times when you can do something and there are times when you shouldn’t.
“… “
To come all the way here and think about that again…
[I wonder how much he would do if he returned after defeating the demon king.]
‘I don’t know… ‘
I’m ashamed, how can you say such a thing?
The child is probably… I would like to give birth to as many as possible.
Because the warrior grabbed me and wouldn’t let go.
Still, I hope I don’t do it until I catch the demon king.
I don’t want to see other kids do it.
If it’s fortunate, it should be said that it’s fortunate, because there was no problem in building a tent by taking out the materials from the warrior’s subspace without having to sleep with only a sleeping bag, we were able to sleep separately.
However, unlike before, there is only one tent, so if it is a problem that everyone has to sleep in the tent, is it a problem?
In the meantime, it has become my role to clean up Cecilia and Ruril.
When there is no wizard, it is said that there are many cases where you cannot even wash properly when traveling for a long time. Because I am here, you can wash every day, and of course you can remove all the dust and blood from your clothes and body with magic…
Somehow, the time to wash together became the time to talk.
Today, as we talked about various things and washed up, the warrior who had completed the tent called us.
Certainly, it takes a lot of time for normal people to build a tent, but the hero built it in an instant within a few minutes of entrusting it.
Unlike us, who only started traveling for about 7-8 months, the warrior actually traveled for several years, so it was natural.
“Whoa… Can we lie down first?”
When Ruril asked with a cool expression, the hero informed me that he knew that and laid out a blanket in advance. The hero lay on the outermost side, next to me, then Cecilia, and then Ruril.
It wasn’t intentional, but I’m not a warrior for nothing.
I smiled and turned to Hero.
– Shall I wash you too?
“Ah… Please.”
“Go~”
“Whoa… “
Cecilia and Ruril all had expressions of paradise, probably because they had finally washed up and were able to rest after walking all day.
On the other hand, the hero hadn’t cast magic yet, and he hadn’t been washed, so it was a mess.
– Let’s go. I’ll wash you.
“Ah, thanks Rumia.”
The warrior smiled and said.
It took a while for me to go outside with the hero, and I suddenly thought that what I had just done was digging a grave.
The fact that they came out to wash the hero meant that they were now alone.
I broke out in a cold sweat.
Oh no… ?
No way… Now I have to walk to the castle every day, but I can’t do anything else to lose my stamina…
Hargaah…
“Rumia.”
The warrior’s voice is heard in my ears.
Hearing a voice that felt a little excited, I laughed inwardly.
It seems that the hero intends to do it every single day.
– I already have four children in my belly, so I want to do more… ?
If the child is having a hard time like this, what are you going to do?
However, despite my words, the warrior caressed my stomach, saying that it would be okay.
I came all the way here just to wash it off, but how did it end up like this?
– Ha… I’ll help you wash it off.
There’s nothing to be a problem because I’ve washed myself, but isn’t it true that the devil’s castle is in front of my nose, so I mix my body with peace of mind?
How is your sex drive so strong?
– Now, take off your clothes and come here.
Sir, I’m just going to wash it.
I won’t.
Really!
Naturally, it wasn’t long before magic began to create water in the air and wash the hero, and soon the sound of gasping for breath and the sound of flesh colliding at the same time began to resonate.
Well, it’s natural since it’s in full swing, but the Demon King’s Castle is in front of it…
