Chapter 599.2



After the greetings were finished, I asked Eldogalia-sensei.


"So, Master, I understand that you've called in new reinforcements, but what do you want us to do?" (Yuki)


"Ah, let me explain. Demon Lord, you remember what happened when you made contact with those golems? They were clearly trying to avoid fighting each other, weren't they?" (Eldogalia)


"Huh? Ah, that's right. It would have been much harder for me to approach them if they didn't care about their allies as well, and attacked indiscriminately." (Yuki)


"Normally, yes, but that's the point I want to make. And that's the important part, we need to know how the golems determine their allies." (Eldogalia)


"…Maybe you're trying to make the golems mistake us for an ally and hide our intrusion?" (Yuki)


"Exactly. For the past few days, we've been analyzing the golems you hunted. It's a good thing that Layla was here. She's the best at this sort of thing. If it weren't for Layla, it wouldn't be surprising that it would have taken us twice as long." (Eldogalia)


"Hmmph, Layla is outstanding! …Or rather, I think her senses are even sharper than when she was in the village." (Emyu)


That was what Emyu, who was with us, added.

"I thought the same thing. You've gotten a lot better at analyzing than before." (Eldogalia)

"I've seen many things at Yuki-san's place." (Layla)


"…I suppose continuing to research in the village makes people become stagnant because of the limited experience of different environments. Maybe it's better to send the best ones out to other places. We have airships now, so it's not that difficult. I should think about it." (Eldogalia)


"Yes, I think that's part of it, but my family is a bit… no, quite unique, so I don't think it's much help. But if it's to learn about the outside environment, I think it's a good idea to send them out." (Layla)


"Outside, you say? I'm interested, but I'm a bit skeptical about whether it will be better compared to the environment in the village." (Eldogalia)


"Well, that's the problem. Our village is far better than the outside, if we're talking about the environment alone. But often, people who make important discoveries come from outside the village. Like with the ruins this time. Of course, it depends on the field of study–" (Layla)


"Either way, we've got the airship. First, we should travel around and find a place suitable for research–" (Eldogalia)


"That sounds like a bit of fun! I think it'll be a big project, but I don't think anyone will volunteer–" (Emyu)


"Ah, sorry, you three. Let's leave this discussion for later. Once you start, it's really unstoppable." (Yuki)


When I called out to them as they were about to get even more argumentative, they suddenly came to their senses, and each of them cleared their throats, looked away, or smiled vaguely, looking embarrassed.


That was the thing about the Sheep Horn Clan. The moment an interesting topic came up, an endless discussion like this would break out.


Layla didn't show that side at home, but when she was with the fellow clan members, she became just like them, which made me feel her bloodline.


"Anyway, I understand. So, perhaps the people you called this time are… blacksmiths or something?" (Yuki)


"Yes. They're here to process the materials from golems so that we can use them." (Eldogalia)


The people that Eldogalia-sensei called were not only Finar and his wife, but also other Sheep Horn Clan members, demons, dwarves, elves, and other races.


They also had the looks of researchers, and were actively exchanging opinions as they looked at the ruins towering before their eyes, giving the impression that this place, which was already lively, would become even more energetic.


Processing… so they were planning to make something like an item that blocks recognition.


"Not long ago, gathering experts from various places like this was not possible at all. It's the result of you guys creating this alliance during the war, and with His Majesty the Demon King making full use of it." (Eldogalia)


"Haha, well, international exchange is now part of my job, after all. I'm glad to see that everyone is making good use of it." (Yuki)


The Demon King shrugged at my response.
