The next day.
I left my house early in the morning with Rir and Enne, went through the door that was closest to the royal capital of the Demon Realm, and rode Rir from there to the destination.
Nothing special happened on the way, and I kept getting stares from passing carriages, travelers, adventurers, and others, but I kept going without worrying about them.
Enne, who had been chatting with , fell asleep and was now in my item box, and I was also starting to get a little tired.
It was like a labyrinth, this capital of the Demon Realm, where one could easily get lost if one ventured a little too inside.
…No, seriously, I think I might actually get lost.
This was our fourth ti here, but it was the first ti for us to co here without a guide. I had always been accompanied by soone I could rely on.
I couldn’t trust myself when it ca to directions, so I’d have to rely on Rir’s sense of direction.
“So we’ve arrived. …I can tell by this experience that my stamina has improved a lot since my race evolved. At this rate, performance aside, I think I can stay active for up to two days if I wanted to.”
“Kuu.”
“Indeed. But Lefi told once that she had to fight Fenrir for several days straight. That can happen depending on who you’re fighting, you know?”
From what I’ve heard, it sounded like Fenrirs were exceptionally tough.
I could tell that from looking at Rir.
While I was feeling a little fatigued, he seed to still have plenty of stamina to spare.
Unlike , who was just riding and being rocked, he was running all day long. He really seed to have an inexhaustible amount of stamina.
Perhaps, the fuel efficiency of their bodies was superior to that of other creatures.
His Engine part of the body was probably of incomparably high performance.
I realized that Fenrirs, like the dragon race, were among the pinnacle of this world in terms of biological performance.
Therefore, while his abilities were increased dramatically by the dungeon at the sa ti as mine when I evolved, his race did not change like mine did.
“Damn, I envy your physical strength. I would be exhausted after a day of playing with the little girl army.”
“Kuu.”
Rir, as if smiling wryly, responded with a “ too.”
“Really? Well, I guess, even if you have inexhaustible stamina, those girls have more or less inexhaustible stamina, as well. So that ans that little girls also reign at the pinnacle of this world, right?”
“Kuu, gaaah.”
No doubt about it, Rir affird.
Yes, there was no doubt about it. I was going to na this the [Theory of the Strongest Little Girls] and present it at an academic conference.
While talking like this, we slowly made our way to the open front gate of the Demon Realm’s Royal Capital.
I felt that I might end up being halted and questioned by the soldiers as to why I was here once I reached the gates and they knew my identity, since that always happened every ti I approached a gate of any town or city.
At that mont, a man appeared in front of the soldiers, and after dismissing them with a wave of his hand, he turned to us and bowed his head.
“–We have been waiting for you, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor.”
It was dark, so I couldn’t see his face well, but I understood who it was by his voice.
“Is that Renaugil?”
It was Renaugil, a Royal Guard secret agent, and a direct subordinate of the Demon King, whom I knew very well.
He was the man who captured Emperor Shendra in the war and had lost all his magic power due to the aftereffects of the war.
From the looks of it, it seed like he was waiting for .
“What are you doing here?”
“Today, we received a report from a patrol unit regarding a wolf and a man riding on it moving at a great speed along the road leading to the royal capital. The features of the wolf and the man riding it look familiar to the patrol unit, so we were imdiately inford of your presence.”
Ah…I see…so that’s how they got inford in advance.
“I see. I’m sorry if I’ve caused you any trouble. I just wanted to talk to Finar for a bit. Is he around right now?”
“Yes, he’s here. If it’s urgent, he should be ready to talk to you as soon as possible…”
“No, it’s not urgent at all. I am simply doing a quick errand. And…I hate to be a spoilsport, but is there soplace we can stay for the ti being? I was just thinking of looking for one after this.”
“I’ll see what I can do. I’ll make the arrangents right away.”
“Thanks.”
Following Renaugil’s lead, Rir and I walked through the royal capital as the night set in.
I was relieved that I didn’t get lost this ti.
