It's Sudden, but I Came to Another World! But I Hope to Live Safely Chapter 113

Published at 26th of April 2023 05:40:35 AM

Later, Ekuike came back without incident.

He told me that he wanted to choose a life of self-improvement and that I should work with him.

He looked so refreshed that I asked him if something had happened, but he said it was the same as usual.

I wondered if he had declared something to Lakra.

Oh well, I just wanted to talk to Ecdysium about the Purple Demon King's new house.

That's why I'm currently in the middle of visiting the site of the bandit stronghold with Ecdysium.

The Purple Demon Lord and the others are supposed to join us later.

It wouldn't be difficult for the Purple Demon Lord to set up a residence by himself if he could mobilize a large number of demons, but I wanted Ecdysium to take charge just in case.

I don't want to end up visiting the Purple Demon King's new house without knowing anything about it and find myself locked in a secret basement.

I think this is not a good idea. ......?

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

"What's wrong with you, compadre? You've always been a coward.

Yes, that's true.

It's okay to be cowardly on the inside, but I wish I could be aloof on the outside.

I'm not sure if the purple demon king has had time to relax, but he seems to have sensed that we are acting overwhelmed.

We should avoid being taken advantage of, hmm.

We arrived at the site of the bandit stronghold.

The forest that the ruffians had carved out has been cleared.

I wonder if we can build a house in this clearing today.

Are you planning to use it for something else, or are you just prepared?

I wanted some flat terrain for my training. I thought I'd use it as a training ground for the chains, so I worked on it carefully, and look what happened.

It's unbelievable that you managed to clear this terrain using only chains.

The size of the area is also going to be able to accommodate the residence that Marit specified.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

He asked me to keep it within the limits of a villa.

It's very neatly laid out, isn't it?

The purple demon king, who was quietly behind me before I knew it, almost shouted.

"When did this happen? I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to do.　I'm sure you've got some means of transportation.

I'm sure you're not the only one.

You're a demon, aren't you?

As you can see, my clothes are constructed of advanced demons that can quickly respond to orders without willpower.

"As you can see, my clothes are constructed of a high grade demon that can remove its will and respond quickly to commands?" "When I retract my wings, a giant claw appears.

They seem to be more varied than the chains of Exduk.

The only drawback is that it can't heal if it's destroyed, and I'm afraid the area of the cloth is slightly reduced when it's changed.

If you change it with all your might, you'll be completely naked, I guess.

"Duvvreoris...

"Of course he is.

Duvraeori emerges from the shadow of the Purple Demon King.

From the looks of it, he's completely recovered.

The only difference is that the Mask of the Pawn is gone, revealing his true face.

I envy you your beautiful butler.

I'll leave the rough design to you, but please consult with Ecdysium about securing materials and such.

I don't mind if you build it with lower level demons, though.

Use natural materials, please. Otherwise, I won't be able to come and visit you.

Well, if that's the case, then what can I do?

When I came to visit and used the bathroom, I was so scared that everything from the walls to the toilet bowl was the devil, I couldn't even get out.

What happened to all the wood we used when we settled this area?　Did they chain it up and turn it into algae?

This way then.

I was led to a nearby cave, where a large amount of wood was stored in a neatly processed form.

You're a one-man sawmill?

"You're a one-man sawmill?" "The words are a little hard to understand, but I get the gist. I'm a former adventurer, I can at least distinguish between things that are worth money. It never hurts to have a little street money.

Wow, even the drying process was done well.

If we bring a carpenter, we can really start working on it now.

At any rate, I'll pay Ecdysium for the wood according to the market price.

The Purple Demon Lord also has some wealth, and we too have found ourselves being paid a small fortune.

The purple demon king will have his demons carry the lumber, so there will be no problem.

...... Can demons also build?

I'll try not to think about it too much.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

"Is this the end of the ...... cave?

Yes, I wanted to see if there were any caves nearby.

I don't think ...... he has any other intentions, so I'll follow him.

I'm sure Exequik will follow me secretly.

This cave has already been mined by Exoik and the geological survey has already been done.

Thanks to this, the path is well organized and very easy to walk.

As for the lights, the Purple Demon Lord has been using magic, so we don't need torches.

When I reached the end of the path, I found the underground lake that was reported to me.

Not bad terrain, huh?　It's a good way to produce quality advanced demons.

The Purple Demon Lord has a method of deliberately creating demons, right?

I'm not sure what to make of this.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I've been doing this for so long.

I'd rather not have too many demons, though.

"The existing numbers are enough, I'm going to increase the elite to protect my surroundings?

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

As for the battle, we have to leave it to the great demon Duvraeus, and it is possible to separate the two.

The Purple Demon King gently dips a particularly large light source into the water.

Then, the surface of the underground lake, which is gently swaying, reflects the light of the light source diffusely, and a fantastic scene emerges.

It's beautiful.

Yes, very .......

I remembered that and took out something from the bag on my back.

He gently pointed it at the Purple Demon King, who was looking at the underground lake, and pressed a button.

A blinding light illuminates the underground lake for a moment.

Noticing the light, the Purple Demon King turns to look at you.

"Why are you so surprised all of a sudden?

I'm sorry, but you didn't look surprised for someone like that.

I didn't feel any hostility towards you, though I was a little curious as to what you were doing?

"This is how it is.

"Here's a piece of paper," he said, handing it to the Purple Demon Lord.

The paper is somewhat shinier than parchment, and the center is filled with a large black rectangle.

"This is .......

After looking at the paper for a while, the image of the Purple Demon King against the background of an underground lake gradually appears.

Yes, this is a Polaroid camera.

I didn't know anything about chemicals, but I did know how to develop a film, so I asked Nora to reproduce it for me.

The only drawback is that you can't use it without a battery filled with magic power, but it can take much clearer pictures than the Polaroids of Earth (here).

Even in a rather dark underground lake, it can capture the same accuracy as the scene reflected in human eyes.

I didn't know such a thing existed.

It's one of the tools of the earth, because it makes a pretty good picture.

...... Can it capture the two of us, you and I?

Of course. I just need someone to hold the tool.

Duvvleoli, are you there?

Then Duvvleoli appears without a sound.

I'm a little nervous that he might have mistaken my photo shoot for an attack.

"Here. Human, I almost reacted to the light earlier. Be careful.

That was close.

That aside, I explain to Duvraeori how to use the camera.

He then stands next to the Purple Demon King with the underground lake in the background.

"...... Do I have to cross my arms?

"Yes, of course.

I'm not sure if Duvraeoli's gaze is emotionless or if he's doing everything he can to keep his mind off of it.

Then we had our picture taken.

After that, we looked at the cave for a little while longer, and then headed home.

The construction of the villa will be led by Duvraeus and Eckduik.

I'm sure it will be done much faster than expected.

------------------------------------

I returned to the inn and sat down on the bed.

In my hand is a piece of paper with a picture of him and me on it. ...... I think it's called a shashin.

His expression in the picture is the same as always, a little unfriendly, but that's the way he is.

Oh, I've never been able to put on such a happy face.

The only time I look at my own face is when I look in the mirror.

I don't smile unnecessarily when I look in the mirror, so I feel like I'm smiling for the first time.

With this smile, I am sure I can influence his heart.

It's a strange feeling to have my memories of him remain in this form.

The way he defeated the power of the Entanglement was surprising in that he hadn't even revealed his true name to his friends.

Perhaps his reading of my mind was not an act of composure, but a desperate pawing.

I was utterly defeated by him, but it was actually a paper-thin defeat.

He had given it his all and won, as he said, and now that I had accepted that, I could no longer think of him as mine.

He had maximized his value to me, and there was no greater prize than that.

I put magic into the chasin to strengthen its durability.

You can keep it as is, but ...... you want to put it where you can see it.

"Duvvreoris.

"Here.

With one voice, your faithful servant will appear.

I'd like to hang this in my bedroom. It's too small to hang on the wall. ...... Can you get me a frame to hang it in the cabinet?

"As you wish.

Wait.

What?

I stopped Duvvleoli, who was about to leave without a second thought.

Duvvleoli remained motionless in his kneeling position.

I don't need to ...... think about why I stopped Duvraeoli. 　

I will not allow you to respond to the words I am about to say to you.

"......

You've been very good to me in this whole thing. I would like to thank you, thank you Duvvleeu.

Duvvleoli didn't say anything back, he didn't react.

I don't want to see your reaction, I just want to tell you.

That's all, go.

Duvvleoli disappeared into the shadows without a sound.

I've changed, thanking the devil.

But when I learned of his full power, I also understood Duvraeus' feelings.

I couldn't say nothing in that situation.

My heart was not at ease to despise a loyal vassal who had devoted himself to me even while I was earnestly desiring him.

No, I became restless.

I've changed that way.

I've changed in such a way that it's impossible to go back to normal after tasting such nectar.　It's okay, though.

------------------------------------

Thank you for the food!

"Osomatsu-san.

It's a good thing that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

It's a bit of a hassle to use ingredients from this world, but it's a promise.

But these guys eat so much, it makes me sick to my stomach.

"Shishou, I'll take care of the rancid ones!

Oh, thank you.

Master Shosho, let's have a drink together!

I don't drink when I'm working. I'll be back in a minute.

What, are you going somewhere?

I'm going outside to enjoy the evening breeze.

I'm a little tired because I've been messing around consuming a lot of food.

I was a little tired because I had eaten and my body temperature had risen, so I wanted to cool down.

As I was heading for the door, Ilias called out to me.

"If you're going out, I'll go with you.

I'll just sit outside the door, no need, no need.

Well, if I sense that you're going out, I'll be right behind you, so don't wander off on your own.

Okay.

I went outside and sat down with my back to the door.

The night breeze cools me down nicely.

I almost wish I had a cigarette here, but all I have in this world are cigars.

I got one from Mr. Van and tried it, but it was too strong, and I decided that it would take a long time and cost a lot of money to get used to it, so I stopped.

In Japan, I learned to smoke lightly for socializing, but I didn't like it much and quit smoking whenever I didn't socialize anymore.

The first time you start smoking, it doesn't taste very good, and once you get used to it, it's not very cost effective.

You may have more money in your pocket, and you may have more dignity if you smoke cigars, but considering ...... Wolfe's good nose.

I think I'd be shocked and depressed if Wolfe said I smelled bad.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

Less oxygen in the lungs, really.

Can I have a moment?

"Whoa, you scared me!

I close my eyes to feel the night breeze and suddenly someone calls out to me from the front.

When I opened my eyes, there was Duvvleoli.

"Du Vreoli, don't scare me too much. ......

If I try to scream, he might kick down the door and reveal the Iliad.

Then I'll blow the door off.

I'm sorry about that. I've had my eyes closed for too long.

I'm sorry, too.

I closed my eyes for a few minutes, and I wonder if I was there the whole time, but I try not to think about it.

I'm so confused right now.

I'm so confused right now." "To the naked eye, you seem so regal.

"The Lord threw me a thank-you note at .......

That's good.

"But I was only defeated. "But I was only defeated, no better than any other self-interested demon, and I didn't accomplish much. Just me.

The Purple Demon Lord told you to listen and not say anything, didn't he?

How did you know?

The Purple Demon King has already figured it out. I can imagine at least four, if not ten, of the things he's thinking about.

The Purple Demon King had changed to become more human.

The purple demon lord had changed into more human.

He would at least order her to shut up and listen to him, lest Duvraeus, with his posture like this, should say something unworthy.

"If you understand the Lord's thoughts, then I ask you, how should I take it?

"Be happy, I didn't let you deny it because I wanted you to chew on it. It would be disrespectful to the Purple Demon Lord's consideration if you brought it up and denied it.

But I'll take the credit.

The Purple Demon Lord wasn't thanking you for the achievement. It's for your loyalty. You fought for her, not on her orders, but on your own volition, and your devotion was a solid support to her.

"...... Has the Lord changed that much?

I'd say you're human. Have you become disillusioned?

No, that's not possible.

I'm not sure what happened to Du Vreoori in the past, but I'm guessing he was hoping to serve her before he was summoned by the Purple Demon King.

It is also possible that he knew about the Purple Demon King from the time when Seiya Yukura was active as a hero.

It is possible that he knew about the Purple Demon King from the time when he was a hero.

"Well, your loyalty was high enough to be thanked by the Purple Demon King. If you feel like it's too much for you, just make sure you live up to it in the future.

I'm sure that's the way it is. ......

If you talk too much outside, the Iliad might come to you.

No, he could be behind the door with his sword drawn.

"Well... If there's nothing else, I'll go back inside.

"...... you've changed the Lord, so you need to take responsibility for that.

I know it's going to be hard, but I'll do what I can.

I know it's going to be hard, but I'll do what I can. You can count on me for help. I'll give you all the help I can, and your wisdom for the Lord's sake.

That's good to know. Good night, Duvraeus.

Open the door and go in.

By that time, Duvvleoli had disappeared.

It's not very knightly of you to eavesdrop at .......

...... Leave it alone.

Ilias had an awkward look on his face, and his sword was clearly visible on his back.

I almost laughed, but I'm sure he was worried about me.

"Looks like Wulfe's cleanup is done. Now, I'm going to have a drink with Lacla, join me, Ilias.

Yeah, sure.

What about tomorrow? We could go to Nora's.
