Yeah, co on in.
After Ryou said that, the door opened, and a silver haired man showed his face.
After rembering that that man was the Northern General Altejio, Ryou fell silent and gave a nod. That action didnt have any particular aning, but he perford it just like Vermudol usually did.
Excuse . This ti was a sudden visit, but did sothing happen?
Altejios question was reasonable. After all, Ichika, who was under direct command of the Demon King, had co carrying Demon King Vermudol in her arms without any prior contact. It would be absurd to think that nothing was wrong.
Ryou thought for a bitand muttered only a single phrase.
Nn, wellThere were so various things.
Although he thought about it, it wasnt like he could co up with a good line so easily.
Ryou thought that he would leave it to Ichika, and sent his gaze towards her.
When he did, Ichika made a small nod and started explaining to Altejio.
You have received the report about the enemys attack on the Demon King Castle, right?
Yes. It was one saying that said it was needless to appear at the castle since the conclusion had already been reached though.
As a result of the battle with the enemy, Vermudol-samas mories beca disordered. In order to keep the influence on those of the castle to a minimum, we borrowed this room.
Altejio closely examined Ichikas words.
Certainly, that did stand to reason. There wasnt only the top brass at the Demon King Castle, there were also ordinary soldiers of the Central Army like the Magic Operated Armors. Considering the possible influence on them, it certainly wouldnt be good to discuss the poor physical and ntal condition of the Demon King there.
The Demon King was always perfect, and he would give them an unconditional peace of mind due to being that way.
Altejio was able to understand the reason why Ichika took great care of that sort of image of him.
Is, that so. May I take it that that problem has been taken care of?
Basically. However, it will still take a bit of ti until he returns to his normal condition.
Ryou silently watched Altejio nod at Ichikas explanation.
It wasnt like he didnt think is this really okay?
Having such a secret, could he say that they had a true relationship? If it were genuine, shouldnt they talk about everything?
That sort of thinking ca to Ryous mindand he hurriedly denied it.
He shouldnt do anything unnecessary.
Ichika had her way of thinking, and Vermudol had his way of thinking.
He shouldnt try and change that.
Fuu
Unconsciously breathing a sigh, Ryou noticed that both Ichika and Altejio were looking at him, and was alard by it.
Ichika returned her gaze to Altejio from the frozen up Ryou.
It would seem that Vermudol-sama is tired. I suppose it is about ti that we return.
Yes, I do not mind that buthow are the damages on the Demon King Castle? Depending on the situation of Demon King-samas room
In regards to the castles repairs, let us think about it at another ti. After all, the capital city is still in confusion.
That is true. Should I dispatch personnel from here?
I am sure that is not necessary. The Central Army will deal with it.
After nodding, Altejio peeked over at Ryou, and knelt down in front of him.
Demon King-sama, it is wonderful news that you are safe. To not be at your side during the ti of crisis is the failure of my life. If there is a next ti, I shall co running faster than anyone else.
Ah, noahIt is nothing to worry about. No one would have been able to anticipate this all.
However, I have heard that Sancreed rushed over. In that case, the fact that I did not do the sa is a clear blunder on my part.
Seeing that Altejio stubbornly wouldnt yield, Ryou turned a troubled-looking face towards Ichika.
He was way too serious.
With it being a situation that even Vermudol himself would be troubled over, there was no way Ryou would be able to deal with it.
Vermudol has stated that you do not need to worry about it. Is it not fine to leave it at that this ti? If you dont, that ans that Demon King-sama will have to tell you the sa thing a second ti.
Hearing Ichikas words, Altejio finally ca to a realization and raised his head.
Demon King-sama, such rudeness I have shown youI beg your forgiveness.
Im not bothered by it. Altejioah, its because you do your best all of the ti. I have trust in you.
Those were Vermudols true, unfalsified feelings.
The lines that Vermudol himself wouldnt say very often, Ryou was able to say them.
Hearing those words that he wasnt used to being told, Altejio made a surprised-looking face while still kneeling down.
Such generous words. In order to answer your trust, Demon King-sama, this Altejiopromises to swear absolute loyalty to you from now on as well.
Yeah, Im counting on you.
Well then, I am terribly sorry butI shall return to my professional duties. Demon King-sama, please have great expectations. Even in the matter you had given before, I shall show you the greatest results right away.
Seeing off Altejio as he made a bow and left, Ryou looked at Ichika with a slightly befuddled face.
Did Isay sothing strange?
It wasnt strange butwhat was that just now?
Well, since it looked like Vermudol felt that way, I thought that it wouldnt be a problem to say that. Eh, was I wrong about sothing? Sorry, it isnt like my mory is complete
Ichika fell silent and thought about the aning of that remark just now.
Normally, Vermudol wouldnt say out loud how he felt about another person. That was Vermudols own outlook on what a Demon King is, and he basically had a tendency to take a position of neutrality, and act impartial as much as possible.
However, surely Vermudol also had so sort of feeling towards every person.
For examplelike who he took a liking to.
In regards to those matters, they were probably especially sunken at the bottom of his heart.
On that point, Ichika had confidence that she preceded others just a little.
Of course, this wasnt the ti to be thinking of such things, and she understood that Vermudol was intentionally not thinking about it until the conclusion of this fight was reached.
Nevertheless. It was only just a little, but she ended up thinking.
That perhaps, isnt this a chance to hear his true feelings?
However, Ichika imdiately withdrew that thought.
The control of her own emotions had gone badly recently as it is. She shouldnt ask about anything unnecessary.
It.
It isnt sothing that should be said out loud too much. Just as Ichika was about to say that, the door to the room suddenly opened.
Ah, I found you! Making search all around like that, what were you thinking, dammit!
Rokuna was making a daunting pose at the rooms entrance.
Ichika then stopped Nino as she slipped through at her feet and tried to cling onto Ryou.
Stop that. Vermudol-sama is tired.
In that case, its fine. Since Nino is the soothing type, the effect will be outstanding.
That might have an overwhelming effectiveness on the current Ryou in a certain way, but that is why it would also turn into an extraordinarily troubling situation.
Ichika kept Ryou away from Nino, and spoke out the line that she had prepared.
The current Vermudol-sama has not completely recovered from his mory disorder. In order to prevent too much of a burden on him, he needs to spend ti peacefully.
That true, Ver-cchi?
Being asked that by Rokuna, Ryou answered in a way so that his internal fluster wouldnt be perceived.
Nn, ah, yeahitll still take a bit of ti. Sorry.
He didnt lie. The repair of the soul was continuing, but it would still take so ti until it was done.
Nn, is that so. Well, dont push yourself too much, got it?
Yeah, thanks. But, sa to you, Rokuna. Im sorry for pushing you to work so hard all the tibut I just unconsciously end up relying on you.
Heh!? Eh, well. Th, that isnt anything to worry about, you know? Look. I an, right?
Seeing Rokuna end up acting suspiciously all of a sudden, Nino made a dissatisfied face, and Ichika breathed a small sigh.
In any case, I believe that you understand very well now that Vermudol-sama is tired.
Although I would like to investigate the intention of that line, I understand it very well. There is a need to have him regain his usual style quickly.
Hearing Rokuna muttered if he doesnt, I wont last, Nino made a small kick at her.
Ichika ignored that and took Vermudols hand.
Well then, let us first return to the Demon King Castle. How was the state of Vermudol-samas room?
We went there earlier, but for the ti being, it looked like its usable.
Is that so.
After saying that, Ichika and Vermudol were enveloped in Transfer light.
Ah, againHey, if youre going to do that, at least take us along with you!
You can return with your own power, right?
After saying that, Ichika and Vermudol were enveloped in Transfer light and vanished.
Seeing them off, Rokuna breathed a sigh.
FuuWell, certainly, if it were the usual Ver-cchi, he wouldnt say sothing like that. What was that, does Ver-cchi beco extrely sweet when he gets tired?
A chance?
Stop that. In his condition, Ichika will probably be attached to him the whole ti.
Nino also has that right.
Seeing that Nino had no sign of yielding, Rokuna quickly gave up on persuading her otherwise.
Well, do as you like.
After saying that, Rokuna also invoked magic to transfer to the Demon King Castle.
