After witnessing the march of the Demon army, we hid in the inn for several hours.
There were no Demons who broke in so we are fortunate not to be discovered.
If there is any chance, then everyone of us would have got caught.
Cecil-oneesan, is it already safe?”
The most affected of us, Helena was pretty scared, and wont leave my side for a while.
I want to reassure her as much as possible but……
“I will take a look at the situation outside”
“Eh, is it okay?”
“I’ll not go far to the inn, so don’t worry”
I patted Helena’s head to make her feel relieved, then I went outside.
On the way, I met with Glinnis in front of the reception desk.
“Huh? Are you going out?”
“Yes, I want to see the situation”
“Then I’ll follow you! This place is making me hard to breathe”
She came over as she said so.
It was reassuring to have her side as in this dark mood after the appearance of the troops, as she helped to release the tension.
As I thought, it’s worthwhile that Allan-sama anticipated this……
“Thank you very much, Glinnis-san”
“No no, it’s fine! Come on, let’s go”
“Ah, please wait!”
Glinnis-san who said she’s going to follow me just went ahead.
Even though I’m worried about it, I still think it’s fine.
“Hmmm, that’s weird. I wonder what happened……”
“Is there anything wrong?”
Since I heard her mutter some strange things, I also rushed ahead.
When we left the inn, I saw Glinnis looking at the street perplexed.
Before this, the Demon army was just marching here a few hours ago.
“They still there ……”
“No, it’s not that, Cecil!”
“Eh? What is it?”
“The castle, they are marching back towards the castle!”
Glinnis pointed out to the marching Demons.
“to the castle? Certainly, they are marching opposite the direction we saw earlier”
Checking my previous memory a few hours ago, they really seem to be going back from where they came from.
Then, are the Demon forces withdrawing?
“Does that mean the invasion has stopped? Then Allan-sama……”
Allan-sama succeeded, he went towards the Demon Lord and successfully carried it out.
However, we cannot be certain yet. This is still the enemy territory, so to speak.
“Allan-sama, please return to us safely……”
I pray facing the Demon Lord’s Castle.
The next moment, my shoulder was tapped from behind.
“Well, here I am. Wish granted?”
“Eh, A-Allan-sama?”
I turned my back in wonder, just to see Allan-sama who should have gone to the Demon Lord’s Castle.
“You were safe!”
“Yeah, I made it somehow. Sorry that it took a long time.”
“Allan-sama lowered his head apologetically.
“No, it’s okay. I believed and waited for Allan-sama after all”
Though I was really worried, I cannot cry here.
“So you went and negotiated with the Demon Lord, am I correct?”
“It took me a little while, but in the end I was able to make the Demon Lord cooperate”
Allan-sama stretched both is arms, a gesture of him that indicated he was feeling relieved of a job well done.
“Hey. Don’t say it like it was an easy talk. Stop it.”
Just in the middle of our conversation, a person came behind Allan-sama.
It was a beautiful woman with light brown skin.
Ah, don’t tell me she’s……
I have also guessed it out in just her presence too.
But just to make sure, I have to confirm it with Allan-sama for the time being.
“Allan-sama, this person is?”
“Oh, Beatrice? She’s the Demon Lord of this country I was referring to earlier. Or should I say “Queen”?”
I looked back at Beatrice-san for confirmation.
“Who knows. I just always go by that calling, but you can call me whatever you want”
“Is that so? Well, Beatrice is already fine with me”
Allan-sama directed a smile to me.
If it’s a common woman, she will be instantly deceived by this, but I’m not.
“What’s already fine?! How did this happen? Please tell me!”
I urged Allan-sama for an explanation.
Now that it has come to this, we have to talk about this till I’m convinced.
“Hey, what is it……eh, the DEMON LORD?”
“Oh, Glinnis, I see now. You have been violated by Allan too. Are you the one who guided him to invade my castle?”
As we were discussing, the topic suddenly diverted to the conversation with the master and servant.
I see. She really is the Demon Lord.
Ahhh, my head hurts……
“Ahaha……Allan’s techniques are better than I thought it would be……”
“The branches of the King Tree have reached my hands. You have already fulfilled your orders. I won’t blame you”
“Ooh, thank you very much!”
Glinnis who always has a high level of energy is now bowing her head seriously.
Because she’s called the Demon Lord, is she scary when angry?
Though I respect her now as Allan-sama’s ally……
“By the way, Allan-sama, what happened to the braches of the King Tree?”
“it’s right here”
He showed me the branches he took out from his breast pocket.
Indeed, all the branches are complete.
A branch with a dull color I haven’t seen before s probably from this country.
“I see. It’s a bit off to stay outside. Let’s go inside the inn”
“I see. That’s a good idea”
Allan-sama also nodded and went inside the inn.
After that, I decided to gather everyone then we had a talk……
“Now that the branches of the King Tree are complete, let’s eat something delicious!”
It became a little party with Allan-sama’s proposal.
I’m thankful that the Demon forces have finally pulled out their invasion, so the atmosphere that was tense a while ago has now become soft.
“So Beatrice, what will the Demon Army do from now on?”
After stuffing himself with food, Allan-sama asked while taking a rest.
“Oh, that? I ordered the military to disband”
Beatrice replied like it was nothing.
“How did you convince the Demons?”
I heard the Demons live in violence.
I began worrying when he asked that question.
“In the place with the law of the jungle, it is absolute to obey the order of the strong”
“Is that really the case……”
I understand her logic, but I can’t help but feel uneasy.
Then I was called out by Beatrice-san. Was I that easy to read?
“If you have any complaints come fight with me. That’s the solution”
“Well, I see, as expected of the Demons. aHaha…ha”
I gave her a wry smile, but Beatrice-san’s expression seemed to be very serious.
Now that it happened, she must have avoided places with many people.
“Whatever. With this, all the branches have been gathered. You can go back to your home country in a dignified manner now”
“Yes, I’m quite relieved too”
It was really hard throughout the time.
Now that it will finally end, the load on our shoulders will be lifted little by little.
I tried to calm my feelings and stretched my hand to the cup in front of me.
The desk is full of dishes and drinks, and is surrounded by everyone.
I did not know whose thing this is, but the person itself who poured this drink might have forgotten it already.
“Nn, nnku……..puhaa”
I quenched my thirst to calm myself down……eh?
My eyelids have become heavier and heavier.
“Ah, that’s my booze!?”
Effie-san who saw it pointed at my direction and exclaimed.
Aah, come to think of it, I never drank any alcohol before……
After that, I couldn’t fight back the sleepiness, and my view faded to black.
