It's Sudden, but I Came to Another World! But I Hope to Live Safely Chapter 288

"That's all I have to report to my people.

The task of finding out from King Zenotta what he had been through on his way to the throne and transcribing it word for word on a piece of parchment was complete.

This time, the enemy is among the royalty. That's why we need the perspective of the royal family, my compatriot said, but I wonder how useful this document will be.

That said, I was a little concerned about the happy look on King Zenotta's face when he was talking to me. Despite the fact that the content of the conversation seemed to indicate that there was a complicated relationship between the two brothers, King Zenotta was smiling the whole time.

"What's wrong, Exoik?

I was wondering why King Zenotta was talking to you with that look on his face.

It's been a long time since you've had a guest outside of your office, so you were just happy to see him.

Oh, yeah. ...... Ao is smart.

I'm embarrassed to be praised like that.

I'm not sure what to make of this. I've observed Marito's office before, and it's true that it's a very difficult job to think about the future of the kingdom and the future of complicated matters.

Now that he's helped me with this case, if I ever drop by Quama again, I should bring him something to eat.

"You're going to pick up Masetha and the others next, right? Come on, let's hurry.

"Oh, yeah. But don't you need a gift to take to Jestaff?

Quama is a local place for Jestaff. If you're going to prepare something in Mejlis, why not now?

Okay. ......

It's hard to appreciate something that's always available and familiar, isn't it? Next time, I'll consult with my fellow countrymen about what kind of souvenirs are appreciated in their world.

Ao and I have received a request from our people to go talk to King Zenotta and pick up Harkdok and the others. Lakra and Marya have returned to Serende and should be meeting up with their people by now.

Are you done with your business in Quama, Ecduke?

"Yes. Sorry to keep you waiting, Bellard.

When I left Quama and went to the place where Dal'Agestia was waiting, I found Bellard lying on Dal'Agestia's body. Unlike Ao, Bellard couldn't hide the fact that he was a human being very well, so he was waiting for him.

I didn't mean to wait for you.

Why were you lying there?

This is an uncomfortable place for a demon. They lose their magic just by being here. I was lying down to avoid wasting my energy.

Just as people can't live in the demon world, it's difficult for demons to live in the human world. In the event that you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The magic power that leaks from the Daluagestir is also gratifying enough.

That's right. It's no different from sleeping in the magical world up here.

I see. By the way, is Dal'Agestia all right?

She's fine. The only demons that have more magic power than her are the outliers in the blue.

That mountain of a dragon. ....... I'm not sure if you'll be able to find a way to get the best out of it. If they had fought, both sides would not have been safe.

He rode the Dal'Agestia and moved to the Quama Realm. The huge wall that had once prevented demons from entering the Quama Realm was now functioning as a barrier.

I never thought I'd see the day when humans would be able to come and go in the demon world with impunity. It's unbelievable to me that I've only ever seen humans as food.

You can't just sneak in and eat them, okay?

No need. I can get the strength to live from you. If your taste buds are hungry, that so-called meal will do.

You like it.

Even Gugge Guderezstuf enjoyed the food of his people. Perhaps his sense of taste is similar to humans.

If you think about it, the demons have been eating things that can hardly be called food, such as human flesh. ...... I'll stop thinking about this, it's depressing.

Can you make that taste, Exduk?

"I'm not so sure. I'm not as good as my mom or Marya.

"What about you, ...... the Blue Demon Lord?

I'm trying my best not to lose.

...... Ecdysius, you should try to get that Marya girl to join the Blue Demon Lord.

"Hey!

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I didn't expect Bellard to tell me to add the holy knight to my army.

Can I ask why?

"I can't have the Blue Demon Lord bothering me to prepare my meals. And you don't have time for me when your duty is to protect the Blue Demon Lord.

"...... You're thinking about it, aren't you?

"Don't you have any idea how to learn how to cook yourself?

Bellard thought for a moment, then clapped his hands. Apparently he had just come to that conclusion.

But I don't know that it will work. You should at least keep her for yourself.

You're not actually getting any of this from the purple, are you?

...... No? If there was something in it for me, I would have acted immediately.

"Bellard, humans are not like demons in that they can be dominated by force. You can ask for help, but you must respect the wishes of the individual.

Beguragud ruled by force and treated demons like objects. But power is not everything in human relationships. If it were, the Iliad would be king of the Targs. How much lower can a fellow human being be ......?

"Hmmm ......, that's not quite right. Should I tell him to marry that woman?

What?

That's exactly what I'd have to do to respect Marya's wishes. You want to choose who you're going to spend the rest of your life with, don't you, Velarde?

I had a feeling you might be able to do that. ...... Humans are complicated.

I've learned about human society from Raythea, made a living as an adventurer, and learned many things from my countrymen. Even so, I don't know enough to be aware that I'm naive. As for Berard, he had survived in the demon world until recently, and his knowledge of humans was limited to the bare minimum that Beguragud had given him. This is going to be a pain in the ass for a while, but ...... I'm in a position where I'm indebted to a lot of people, so I'll do my best.

I'm sure you can ...... do it, but I don't want you to.

What did you say, Ao?

It's nothing.

The settlement created in the Quama demon world has already become bigger than a small village. The information about the plants and ores that could only be collected in the demon world, which had been researched by the great sage Balastos, had spread to the world, and this had led to the movement of merchants and wealthy people who saw the Quama demon world as a new market.

My compatriot said that it is difficult to move people with any words of dreams, but if there is a benefit, just whisper it and people will move. ...... Now I understand what he meant.

I've never seen the human hand go this far.

"Quama allowed Jestiff to explore this place with the Demon Lord. That's because most of the physical work won't be necessary if we can get help from demons.

At this point, there are two places where the threat of demons has been eliminated: the Mejis and Quama worlds. Quama could monopolize the untapped resources of the demon world if they took their time.

However, King Zenotta chose the faster and easier way to get the result. In doing so, he also won the development of his own country, which was more beneficial to the nation than ever before. Whether this was a wise choice or not will become clear in a hundred years or so.

The place where the Dal'Agestia will land has been predetermined, and that is where it will land. A member of Jestaff's staff is already waiting to take you to the carriage.

A luxurious carriage with a driver. I feel like a guest of honor.

"It's my world to begin with.

After a short carriage ride, they arrived at the mansion where Jestaff was based. In the event you have any questions concerning where and how to use the site, you can call us at the web site.

"Ah! It's Exdoik! Smite swoosh! Ecdysius is here!

The person calling out my name in a loud voice was Komiha, I wonder if he was as loud as this. Smythos and Masetha immediately appeared in response to my voice.

I knew you'd be here when I saw Dal'Agestia in the sky, but you're really early. Thank you both for coming all this way to pick us up. I was actually going to leave Harkdock behind, but he insisted on joining his brothers. ......

I think you should tie him up, even if it's just a carriage ride.

If I take my eyes off him for a moment, he'll be cleaning the house or something. ....... The moment I said, "I'm fine, the bleeding has stopped! The moment he said that, the wound was opened.

You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web. I'm not sure if it's because he's not sensitive to pain, or because he can move in ways that are impossible when he's injured. I guess it's backfiring on him this time.

As I was remembering the fight with Harkdock, Comija clung to me from the top of my cloak. It was not that heavy, though it was taking most of my weight.

"Ecdyke, leave Harkdok and take me with you!

"Hey, Comha, don't hold on to Ecdysium. You're hurting me with all those chains.

It's a little painful, to be honest, but it's a very pleasant pain. ......

I'm not sure. Me too.

Stop it, both of you. Don't you dare add fuel to the fire.

Masetta pulls Comiha and Smyth away and looks over at Bellard. Oh, right, Verrado and these three have never met before. I guess I should explain myself properly.

We haven't been introduced. This is Bellard, the demon we'll be working with.

"......, this is Verrado.

As if that wasn't enough, I'm going to briefly explain my history with Verrado. My compatriots are often scolded by the Iliad and others for not saying enough. I have to make sure I explain everything.

"More ...... ......?

Why would you say that?

Did someone tell you that?

They told me.

I think Marya said something like that. I think Marya said she was going to have to prepare more food.

Perhaps she was preparing a meal to entertain us? He said he had seen Dal'Agestia flying, so that's a good possibility. I think I'm getting better at guessing.

Back to the topic at hand, Komiha. If you want to come with me, that's fine, but what about Smyth?

Of course I'll take him with me! Don't worry, I'm not going to complain!

What do you mean? I'll tell you what, I don't mind being with Ecdysius, but I don't want to be with that guy.

Then I'll leave you! I'm not going to complain!

Listen to me. You're not that kind of girl, are you? Why don't you face me?

Did life in the demon world bring some kind of change to Komiha? It's not a bad thing to be proactive, but to not take into account the fact that she has known Smyth for a long time seems to be a bit problematic.

When the two of you come together, who will take care of the bastards left here? Even if we leave Smightos alone, the burden will fall on him alone, won't it?

"Don't worry. Smaith is a strong boy.

Is it time to use this poison?

If anything, you should be paying more attention to me! It's not fair to Smightos!

Yeah, I'll use it. I'll use it.

Angry, but not hostile or deadly. The conversation between Gilista and Parshero flashed in my mind. Those two were also foul-mouthed, but they recognized each other.

I'll talk to my people about manpower. If we decide to invite Comiha, we'll need to arrange for someone to look after him.

"Mmm. Okay. ...... I'll wait for your colorful reply. ......

If that man decides to call me, I'll refuse. ...... Well, I'll consider it if I have to work with you without him.

I don't need those half-assed smites. I'm the only one who can support the Exarch!

All right, Komiha, out in the open!

I'm out front!

The two of them started a mock battle. ...... Well, if you don't feel the urge to kill or anything, it's a good exercise. This is a great way to make sure that you are getting the most out of your money.

I'm not sure what to do.

This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your money.

I'm not sure what to do.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. It's not like she was in a bad mood, but she looked like she was trying to figure out what to do.
