Chapter 577.2
“I will be happy if you can expand the airships’ routes, but I do know that monsters are getting in the way. You’ve done me many favors, so if there are any monsters that are really troubling you, I’ll hunt them down.” (Yuki)
Captain seemed to think for a moment about my words.
“…To be honest, there are indeed such monsters. Some monsters have taken up residence in places which get in the way of shortest routes, so we had to take longer routes to avoid those monsters.” (Captain)
The captain continued while shaking his head.
“But I don’t want to ask you to take them down. I know that it would be easier for you to eliminate them with your power as the Demon Lord, but that will become a great debt for this country. I consider you a friend. That’s why I do not want to make such a debt. It is not something that can be repaid with a few favors.” (Captain)
…He was thinking the same as me.
As long as they didn’t know about the divine sword, if I helped them hunt monsters here, in their opinion, they would probably owe me a big favor.
I wondered how I could persuade him… I guess I would just have to talk to him and reveal a little…
“…Captain, you are now not only a soldier, but also a ‘Special Foreign Service Officer’, right?” (Yuki)
“Mm-hmm, that’s right. My job is to entertain the Demon Lord Yuki’s family, but I feel bad about getting paid for this. It’s only natural for me to do favors for my friends who have come to visit me.” (Captain)Well, seriously, you’re a solid person. You’re a military man of integrity.
“So, it’s your job to accommodate me to a certain extent, and as long as I don’t harm the country, keep some of my secrets secret as well, right?” (Yuki)
“…Yes, that’s right. I just don’t feel like listening to the rest of what you are going to say.” (Captain)
“I’m sure you can guess. –It’s a little scary.” (Yuki)
I made sure that no one but the captain was nearby, then opened the item box and took out the divine sword.
Instantly, an enormous amount of pressure overflowed.
The captain’s body stiffened as he received it.
“–!” (Captain)
There was a high possibility that too much exposure to the divine sword’s pressure would cause the captain, who was only a human, even though he was trained, to fall into a coma, so I immediately put the divine sword back in the item box after showing it to him for a bit.
“Wha, what is that…” (Captain)
“Speaking of which, Captain, I haven’t thanked you yet for when Shii and Sakuya got lost. This is something they found at that time, so I’ll take care of this, and as a thank you, I’ll get rid of the monsters that are bothering you on those routes.” (Yuki)
I guess he must have understood the situation to some extent from my words.
With a slight twitch of his cheeks, he finally managed to squeeze out a few words.
“…I see. So this was the reason why my men, who were supposed to be good at what they do, lost track of them so stupidly…” (Captain)
“Let’s just say it has something to do with the history of this country, and I am interested in it. Now that you have a general idea of my side…” (Yuki) řἈNồ𐌱ΕS̈
“Look, don’t say anything. I didn’t see anything, I don’t know anything. That pretty little slime girl just got lost… That item probably shouldn’t remain in this country. It’s a recipe for disaster.” (Captain)
Wise decision…
“Okay. So, as I was saying… This is not a debt, it’s a settlement of a favor. For that, I plan to defeat the monsters… Well, regarding this, I’ll ask for your help.” (Yuki)
I continued, “If anyone asks you anything, just say that I owe you personally. I apologize for the trouble. I don’t think I can repay all the favor by just defeating monsters… I owe this country a debt. It’s a big debt. For that, I will take care of this country for as long as I can.”
“…Sorry Yuki, but we seem to have gotten lucky unintentionally. It would be much more helpful to have a tangible connection with a friend than to be left with the seeds of some unexplainable disaster.” (Captain)
“It would be great to have you in between me and this country in the future. When my son grows up, I’m going to make sure he settles any debts I have.” (Yuki)
“It will be a long relationship. Well, without going into details, come visit us again with your wives. We will always welcome you and your family.” (Captain)
We would love to do so.
My family loved this place, and most of all… Shii seemed to have made a special connection to this country.
