Chapter 598.4
"Haa, haa… is everyone okay?" (Yuki)
Somehow we made it back outside the ruins.
I put my hands on my knees and breathed heavily.
"Somehow, everyone in my clan is safe. …Seriously, sprinting like this at this age is tough." (Eldogalia)
"I thought I was going to die…" (Researcher 1)
"I wonder how long it's been since I last ran this far…" (Researcher 2)
It seemed that everyone managed to escape safely.
When we went back the way we came and returned to the surface, golems stopped following us. I guess they were the guards for the ruins after all.
After a long time had passed, I cautiously went back in to check, but it seemed that everyone had completely let their guard down.
There was no sign of SF Armadillo or SF Ptera, and nothing came out even after going a little further in.The security situation had been reset, which should be seen as a given. However, that didn't mean it was a solution.
Our objective was to go deeper.
-There was one problem.
The fact that there were enemies on the route shown by Sakuya.
In other words, even if that was considered to be the safest route, there was still danger afoot.
Despite this, the security guards came out in force. Well, I suppose that was only natural.
To be honest, it felt like just bad luck that they came all at once, but with that many golems and their strength, it was a bit too much for me to handle.
I didn't want to push myself too hard. Actually, since I was bringing Sakuya with me, I couldn't risk going further unless I could find a solution.
There was a big difference between taking someone somewhere that might be dangerous and taking someone somewhere that you know was definitely dangerous.
“…Master, what are we going to do? I think that is the shortest route… but I think we'll probably end up in the same situation if we go again. Even so, you’re not going to give up, are you?” (Yuki)
"Oh, you've come to understand our species quite well. Of course! Would you stop exploring when there are unknowns? No way. Even if you say you want to take your family back with you, we'll just stay behind and continue our research." (Eldogalia)
She asserted this as if it were obvious, and I gave a wry smile.
Well, I guess so.
That was just the kind of race the Sheep Horn Clan was.
"Ah, but Demon Lord, you don't have to go along with us. Your son in particular has already achieved great things that will leave his name in history. To be honest, he has already produced more research results than we did in ten years. You can prioritize what you want to protect." (Eldogalia)
“That’s an attractive proposal, but unfortunately, that’s not an option for me. Look at my wife’s face. She really wants to stay and do her research, but as Sakuya’s mother, she can’t take such a risk. She’s torn, you know?” (Yuki)
"Hmm, ahaha, that's certainly a difficult expression on her face. It's the most conflicted expression you could ever imagine." (Eldogalia)
"Eh, no, that's not true…" (Layla)
“Yeah, I’m sorry to say this, but you can't really hide it, Layla. Your face is saying more than you can speak, so there’s no point in saying anything.” (Yuki) 𝐑𝘼ɴ𝘖₿Ęʂ
"…Yuki, you meanie." (Layla)
My wife looked at me with a slightly sulky expression, so I laughed and shrugged.
"Big Sister Layla putting her curiosity on the back burner…I would never have believed something like that was possible just a short time ago." (Emyuu)
"I strongly agree. You've really become a mother…" (Eldogalia)
"…My life doesn't belong only to me anymore." (Layla)
Seeing the dazzling looks on their faces, Layla looked away, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Seriously, my wives' reactions to everything were so cute it was outstanding.
“Besides, it looks like Sakuya wants to go further inside. If I were to go home now, he’d probably start crying for a while and become uncontrollable. So, since we’ve come this far, I’ll stay until the end.” (Yuki)
"…Enne is also very curious about what's ahead. Exciting." (Enne)
"Ah, I'm excited about the discoveries as well." (Layla)
"Is that so… thank you, that would be a great help. In reality, there is a huge difference between having you here and not." (Eldogalia)
"However, even though it may sound like me bragging, I think it will be extremely difficult if I can't break through. Do you have any plans?" (Yuki)
"Well, a frontal assault is impossible. That's for sure. But, if that's the case, there's still a way to do it. Listen, Demon Lord. I have a thing that I can use in situations like this." (Eldogalia)
"…What is it?" (Yuki)
Eldogalia-sensei said with a grin.
"Connections, you know." (Eldogalia)
◇ ◇ ◇
"–Hey Yuki, it's been a while." (Finar)
"It's been a long time, Yuki-sama." (Quarrca)
A few days later, the King of the Demon World and his wife, Lady Quarrca, arrived on a new airship.
