Chapter 601.1
Start of the Conquest (1)
"Your Majesty, are you sure that you want to come with us?" (Eldogalia)
"Of course. Since we've already come this far, I'll accompany you to the end. Right, Kua?"
"… I'm sorry, Eldogalia-sama. Once my husband starts speaking like this, it's very difficult to get him to change his mind." (Quaralka)
While the Demon King seemed to be having fun, his wife Quaralka-san bowed her head with a slightly apologetic expression.
Quaralka-san wouldn’t be accompanying us, instead she would be waiting at the research camp. Well, that couldn’t be helped.
After all, to be honest, neither the Demon King nor his wife were of any real use when it came to investigation.
They both knew it, and yet the Demon King still refused to back down.
… Although, when she said things like this, it was probably because she thought that it was necessary to mention it.
"Ah, I understand, Quaralka-san. My husband is the same. Once he makes up his mind, he absolutely won’t budge. A little stubbornness in a man can be nice, but… sometimes it shows up in the wrong places." (Layla)"Yes, yes, I know exactly what you mean. Men are generally vain, and when they get stubborn on top of that, it becomes troublesome." (Quaralka)
"Yuki-san and His Majesty the Demon King are alike in that regard." (Layla)
Uh, oh. Now it was being directed at me as well.
Neither of us husbands wanted to hear more snarky remarks from our wives, so we quickly averted our eyes.
By the way, Sakuya's armor was surprisingly well-made, and I couldn't help but think that it was actually our child's armor that was the most elaborate.
It was designed to be as light as possible so that even a small child like Sakuya wouldn't cry from discomfort when wearing it, and yet it was still highly effective. The joints and other parts were very finely crafted. In the end, only Sakuya’s armor felt like a proper, practical piece of equipment.
The engineers who worked on Sakuya’s armor were very enthusiastic about it, probably thinking that this was the perfect chance to show off their skills.
Thanks to their work, even though Sakuya was wearing armor that would normally be uncomfortable for a child, he didn’t fuss. Instead, he just looked down at his little body with innocent curiosity.
Everyone was fawning about how cute Sakuya was when they saw a toddler wearing the armor, and he was already becoming very popular with the Sheep Horn Clan members.
It was Sakuya who discovered the underground area of these ruins, so it felt like my child's name and achievements had become outstanding all at once.
"Oh, but more importantly, if everyone is ready, let's go right away." (Quaralka)
"That's right, let's do it. — Come on, you guys, it's finally here. Before us lies a vast unknown, a great mystery waiting to be unraveled. The chance is right here, right now! Let’s go!" (Eldogalia)
In response to Ms. Eldogalia’s words, everyone shouted in unison.
–And so, the conquest of the ruins began.
As usual, I took the lead. With the familiar members of the research team by my side, we made our way to the sewer, the secret passage from which we escaped earlier.
The Sheep Horn Clan members seemed to be interested in investigating the castle town as well, but our first goal was to reach the innermost part of the ruins.
"Oh… this is the sewer? The technology here… it feels almost as advanced as today’s, or maybe even better. There must be a lot of technology here that hasn’t been passed down to future generations." (Finar)
"Ah, many of these things can be reproduced with our current technology, but a lot of ancient technology from that time is still so far removed to be properly reproduced in current times. It's truly lost technology." (Eldogalia)
Listening to the conversation between the Demon King and Ms. Eldogalia, I couldn’t help but think to myself.
I guess it was technology from the Age of the Gods… or perhaps it was technology brought from another world…
