Chapter 65: Hollowing of the Heart 1

After the match and receiving the Yggdrasil Sap from Lirin, we pack our things to leave for the demon capital. This was the plan we already settled with.

“I see. Then we are going to see you off ourselves since father’s not here. It’s also a shame that I cannot go with you since I still have my vacation.”

“Onwards here, my colleagues and I will head to the opposite direction as the guild wants us to exterminate devils there.”

Is what Balrog and Diyu said.

I’d like them to join our group but the numbers of an oddball in the group will grow.

“Asagao, I’m sorry for sucking too much blood from you and thank you for lending me an ear.”

“Un. No problem Diyu. We’re friends, after all, right?”

“Fufufu, be honored to be treated as my friend!”

“Ahahaha…”

It’s not really difficult to deal with Diyu but with others, this is her major problem. Higan is just staring blankly at Diyu, unlike earlier and yesterday.

“Foxy, the next time we meet, we are going to have a rematch and I am going to make you eat dust!”

“Fufufu. How cute, really cute.”

“You--!”

Higan can deal with Diyu smoothly that she ends up stuttering or losing track of what she will say next. It seems the match earlier had an impact to Diyu. Master is master. Treated as he is… but…

“Miss Alstroe, thank you for the magnificent display of your strength!”

“Miss Alstroe, I appreciate sending father away like that. I wish he’d learn from this.”

“Ahahaha… why so serious?”

“”…””

Anyway, the most important news is that we have a carriage to use now. It’s pull carriage. Of course, master is driving. Neither I nor Higan, not even Alstroe can drive…

With that, we set off again on our journey. After we arrive at the demon capital, Master promised us that he will take us to the human continent himself. I don’t know why he had to complicate things or how things turned out like this.

Being taken away from the castle and being saved by Alstroe-nee. Meeting Cecille and boarding a drunkard ship captain and purposely crashing his ship.

Soaring in the sky carried by Alstroe, we landed on the beast continent. Upon arriving, we did stupid, dumb things. We dip in the stream after meeting Higan who is hiding in the bushes, meeting Izuna and staying the night and participating in the festival.

Fighting and defeating Begol and meeting the beast king, King Folga. He told us the bad news and we headed to the demon continent.

We met master at the border and tell us that he will train us for free since he is bored and wanted a companion but refuses to do us a favor of taking us to the human capital.

And more adventures with them afterward and right now, we are leaving for the Demon Capital, leaving new friends, who, like us, will set off on their own adventures.

But…

Did I grow up through all this? What did I achieve with all of this?

As long as I have something I need to do, I can keep going with my friends beside me. As long as everything is fine and everyone is happy. I can’t wish for a better adventure.

On the road, the magical beasts that appear are less because this path is frequently used by adventurers and merchants with escorts. Soldiers are on patrol prevents bandits from appearing too.

Well, even if there are bandits, there are two monstrous existences with us. No, it may be three now. I can fend for myself, but I think Higan is on another level now. Each of them can intimidate people with just a look.

I tried glaring at random people once in the city. They thought I was a kid in a bad mood and handed me sweets. I kind of go overboard so I got too many, but Alstroe kept asking for those sweets, now I am almost out of stock.

Higan’s stare can make someone uncomfortable or nervous. You’d never thought that deadpan face can make a scary countenance like that. Maybe because of her beastly attribute but I can be wrong.

Master glared at me once because I was being reckless and did something dangerous, a dragon’s intimidation is no joke that I tear up a little. I get it that he is angry because he cared for us.

Alstroe doesn’t really glare at people, but just stomping her feet or banging her fist on something will scare the hell out of everyone and will instinctively flee.

Anyway, on the road we are traveling are booming with people too. There are soldiers, merchants, and adventurers.

It’s annoying that there are adventurers that tried to make a move on Alstroe or tried to have a touch. Some even tried to touch her breasts. Unfortunately for them, Higan and I will blow them away with our magic.

Alstroe’s breasts are mine after all!

There are even disgusting people that tried to lure me and Higan with perverted faces. Of course, they all failed seeing Higan only want to stick to me. Too sticky to me though. As for me, I despise it. It always feels disgusting to be a target of lust.

If Susanoo is here, heads will fly and blood will spill.

Before we know it, we are already standing at the gate of the Demon Capital. The guards have horns. They inspect the carriage and after confirming our identities and being too shocked to see Master, they let us pass through the giant gate.

It seems that master is really popular in demon continent but not outside of it.

As we enter the city, what we saw is like another dimension.

The whole city looks like a ruin. There are buildings too made up of natural rock formation with stalagmites hanging. It’s the same as the houses. There are stalls everywhere with weird looking displays and gory stocks. Merchants who do a trade too are here and there.

But what noticeable the most is that the magic here is so rich. There are crystals sprouting from the ground with many colors all around. The sky is weirdly different. It’s darkish purple. This is like an old civilization with a rich culture. I estimate this is as big as the Human Capital of Astlan.

Master knows this place like the back of his hand so finding an inn is fast. The inn rooms are decent and have comfortable beds.

There are baths available too and the food is weirdly tasty even with its odd appearance.

We plan to go outside for today to talk to the demon lord as a companion of master.

As we are walking in the streets, the crowd gets thinner to the way to the demon lord castle. It seems this district is for upper class…

Suddenly, a shout directed at master is heard…

“Creamy Puffy!~ It’s really you!!!”

The woman runs to master and embraces him tightly locking his whole body by holding his head and his back.

I am in shock too…

“Violetta?! D-don’t call me like that he--!”

Before master can finish his words, a tongue enters his mouth and their lips begin making weird sounds. Master didn’t even resist.

Violetta seems do not notice us.

Ahh!?

AHhh?!

Wait!!!

Violetta?!

EH?!

This kind of kiss…

Really erotic…

I can feel my head is spinning and my whole face is burning. To see someone kissing this passionately in front of me…

I turn to look at Higan and Alstroe. Higan is staring intently like she needs to know about this while blushing fiercely too and Alstroe is covering her eyes with her hands like she doesn’t want to see this but her fingers aren’t even closed.

“NGghnng Ah.ahhh..”

“Mmmphh..wait..mmmhhpp. .chu…”

H-how long….

How long do they plan to keep this up?!
