A Demon Lord's Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss Chapter 562.2

Chapter 562.2

And so, here we were, on the day of the trip.

We were waiting to board at the Rogard Empire terminal.

Many people were coming and going.

It might not be wrong to call this place the heart of the country after all.

A place where blood was pumped to the entire empire.

–Rogard Empire and Erlin Confederation were adjacent to each other, so it would only take five hours to reach Erlin Confederation by airs.h.i.+p in the shortest distance.

Because of such close proximity, there was a lot of fighting between the two countries before the war, which was the reason why the Erlin Confederation also joined the war against the empire.

However, a war between these two countries would no longer be possible in the current times because the economic losses they would suffer doing so would be too great.

If by whatever reason, a war did happen again between them, I was sure that other countries would intervene, that included me, the Demon Lord.

Therefore, it might happen, for example, that although the Rogard Empire was closer in a straight line, it would be quicker to stop at the Erlin Confederation before heading to the Rogard Empire.

Although their roles were different, both countries’ s.h.i.+pping routes were now part of each country’s economic zone, so it would be difficult for them to do anything on their own.

Little by little, but surely, this new system was being solidified.

“Oh, that’s the seventh s.h.i.+p. That is the airs.h.i.+p we are going to board this time. Look, Riou and Sakuya, that’s the airs.h.i.+p!” (Yuki)

I pointed out a flying airs.h.i.+p to the two children in a stroller.

There was no such thing as a stroller in this world, so people were looking at me strangely, but it was very convenient, so I didn’t mind and decided to use it.

I hoped that strollers would become popular in this world as well.

By the way, of the two children riding in the stroller, Riou was twitching her ears and observing her surroundings with a mixture of alarm, anxiety, and interest, while Sakuya was sleeping without paying any attention.

Again, they really have very different personalities from the time they were born.

Since Riou had a keen sense of perception due to her beastman heritage, she was probably more sensitive to changes such as these.

“I’m looking forward to riding on the airs.h.i.+p again!” (Illuna)

“Riding the airs.h.i.+p is so much fun! I’m going to look down from the window!” (s.h.i.+)

“…I could spend a whole day just watching the scenery flow by.” (Enne)

The young girls and the Wraith Girls watched the airs.h.i.+p excitedly from the window of the waiting area.

“I’m a little worried if the little ones will cry. The airs.h.i.+p has a unique air and smell, as well as vibrations after all.” (Lyuu)

“Ah, well. You were nauseous before, and I’m also a little worried, especially about Riou. Sakuya appears to be surprisingly unconcerned about it.” (Yuki)

“Riou has a good ear and nose, and I think Sakuya inherited Yuki’s insensitivity in a good way. If he did cry, it was because of the usual reasons.” (Nell)

“Yes, they both cry a lot when they don’t like something. That makes me a little nervous.” (Lyuu)

“Oh, if they cry, I’ll take care of it! I will put up sound barriers, so even if the two of them cry so loudly that it resonates, the sound won’t leak out!” (Nell)

“Oh, as expected of the Hero. I’m counting on you. Okay, let’s call that magic the Hero’s restful sleep magic!” (Yuki)

“No, I said it was a sound barrier. But I don’t mind calling it that either!” (Nell)

“Nell, aren’t you being a bit too generous lately…? It’s a good thing, but…” (Yuki)

“Stop right there! Onii-san!” (Nell)

“Well, there is a tradition that the word ‘Hero’ sometimes means ‘one who is playful’ and sometimes ‘one who is brave’.” (Yuki)

“What do you mean by that…” (Nell)

“Now, now, anyway, everyone, the airs.h.i.+p will be boarding soon, so let’s get ready.” (Luu)

“Yes.” (Yuki)

“Yes!” (Nell)

Lyuu clapped her hands and led us to get ready to board the airs.h.i.+p.
