While zapping through the portal, perhaps, it was her pendant that affected the rift.

[A New Memory Surged Within]

A Princess with scarlet eyes, so young, collecting flowers in a somewhat familiar garden.

A King with menacing horns but a kind face.

A Queen with an unimaginable beauty and scarlet eyes.

Enjoying their everyday life in peace, the princess would spend her time in gardens, and play with children of her age.

Then she would train for her magic, with a mage renowned for his mastery over the arcane.

She would study arithmetics and history with her mother but would whine about other subjects.

Then she would eat dinner with her family dining, laughing, enjoying, hoping the days would last forever.

But then the tragedy occurred, on the day she saw her drowning in pools of blood as she was brutally murdered.

The kind king lost his will to live, he would pray to the gods hoping his love would be back someday.

While his own race bittered him and said, “A Demon Who Prays to Gods? Preposterous!” as they stirred their next plan to overthrow everything into chaos.

A girl (princess) who saw the war and her father being brutally torn apart as he protected his daughter and kingdom to win the war.

The girl loses her consciousness right after she snaps and taps into the power she sought to defend.

A Loyal Knight who saw his king dying in front of his eyes as he protected the princess.

The fake loyalists forced the responsibilities on the princess, but it was yet another ploy.

And when the second rebellion occurred, they wanted to kill her and those who remained loyal to her, the new Queen had no choice but to seal the doors.

Kazuma was at a loss for words, having witnessed firsthand the suffering of a girl.

[After Exiting Through The Portal]

Steps…

Phew! At long last! The promised land is here…… Ah, the sunlight and the fresh air.

Wait where’s Isabelle?

As I looked at her, I saw her face filled with many different emotions. It was clear that she was experiencing something entirely new for the first time. She was speechless; all she did was stare at the greenery with profound awe.

Then I bumped her which startled her, “Ack! What’s that for?” she said.

So I said, “Yo, you good? You were ensnared with amazement I thought you would pass out just by standing.”

She responded, “I’ve never seen a world so beautiful before, how long has it been?”

(I could see her eyes being filled with tears right now. I’m happy she made the right choice but man I’m embarrassed as heck, why did I tell her to be my wife? My stupid brain could’ve thought of anything else… what she would think about me now?)

So I casually replied, “The world has always been like this, it’s the same old grass.”

Sniffling… Sniff… Sniff… Uwaaaaaaah!

(It melts my heart to see her she was able to lift the curtains and was free from the dark.)

Hey… don’t worry it’s alright now, let it all out.

Gently patting Isabelle’s head

Starting today, we’ll make our lives better together.

(But I would be happy to have someone like her.)

Oh hey! I have an idea, let’s sit down somewhere and eat some apples.

I found a place near a large tree where we could sit and relax.

I let Isabelle lean onto my shoulder. At first, she hesitates a bit but she leans onto me without saying anything.

As I pull out apples from the Inventory, she asks.

“Say Kazuma, what is that thing you’re always using to pull in and out items, is that spatial or space magic?”

So I responded, “Oh? So, you can’t see what appears in front of me then huh?”

She answered, “No.”

Hmm… I see, well I’m not sure how to explain this to you but think of it as one of my abilities. I’ll tell you all about it later for now let’s eat.

Munch… munch…

( ( Ehm, sorry to interrupt you but several life forms are approaching towards us right now. ) )

(Huh…?)

Damn… I was too focused on us I subconsciously disabled all my active skills.

Shwooop!

Activating all my sense-based skills, I found four presences approaching us. Two were non-hostile but the other 2 were hostile chasing after non-hostiles.

Hey, Belle, we’re about to get some company.

Isabelle nods while eating apples

I was hoping for non-hostiles to be humans but turns out they were two skinny goblins being chased by two quadrupedal monsters which according to the encyclopedia were called Red Orcs.

My expectations were disappointing for what I was quite hoping for.

But both goblins were all bones, equipped with tiny wooden clubs while wearing ragged clothes.

While the red orcs were massive, swift, and ferocious.

Out of pity, I decided to help the goblins.

“Consume!”

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

[Alert: You Hav… Swipes the screen

Sorry, I can’t, my head simply can’t handle these notifications anymore, (Athena, can you please deal with them. )

( ( “Understood.” ) )

And so I turned my direction towards goblins but the pair was already groveling saying, “Oh Supreme Beings, we’re very grateful thank you for protecting us. Please forgive us for disrupting you but please help us the goblins and our little ones are suffering from hunger.”

(Well judging from their look and strength they seem to be pretty weak. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to help them at all, after all, we need to figure out where we are.)

( ( Ehm, you can ask me about that. ) )

(Oh yeah right, I forgot…)

(..For some reason, I feel like, I might be getting on Athena’s nerves now.)

(So hey Athena, where are we currently?)

( ( “We’re currently, in the remote forest called “Forest of Rogrendria” which is 900km away from the Kingdom of Livenia.” ) )

(“Wait 900km!? That’s pretty far away.”)

( ( “Indeed, it would take up to 20 days to arrive there using a carriage.” ) )

(“What about this place, why is it called “Forest of Rogrendria.”)

( ( “Right, the Forest of Rogrendria is said to be a place where the mythical beast Rogrendria is said to be slumbering. He is said to be one of the natural forces of this world which existed before this world came into existence. No one knows if the mythical beasts are real or not but there are some stories of gods encountering them, including the demon king himself.” ) )

(Hmm… interesting, so there might be a world-ending force sleeping somewhere in here.)

(“So can you find or detect the presence of this mythic beast?”)

( ( “Sorry I can't, Rogrendria is said to be one with the force, he’s an entity that flows through this world. In other words, It’s simply impossible to find what exists everywhere.” ) )

(I guess I understand what she meant, but I guess there isn’t anything to worry about.)

(But more importantly, the goblins seemed to be in a sorry state.)

I asked goblins if they would show us their village, while Isabelle seemed to be still munching on the apples.

Yo, Belle we have to get moving, you heard it right?

Isabelle replies, “Fine.”

While walking I asked the pair for their names, and the tall one of the goblins replied saying, “My name is Korabru, and the short one’s name is Kerabru he’s my younger brother.”

[Upon reaching the goblin village]

All the villagers came out at once at the entrance while holding dull and fragile weapons.

Korabru speaks to his kind saying, “Everyone, calm down! These are the supreme beings who helped us from red orcs. They’re demon lords who are here to help us, please call the village elder.”

The villagers reply saying… “Demon lords?” Crowd shivered

Prostrating before us, the villagers reply saying “Forgive us maou-sama (demon lord) for flashing our weapons.”

Then there comes the village elder saying “Maou-sama, the goblin kind has been suffering from attacks of other monster races, we're suffering from endless hunger while they try to eat our young ones away.”

“Please help us Maou-sama, the goblin kind beg of you.”

I was again confused by why they kept calling me a demon lord, I mean only one of us is the demon lord here and that’s Isabelle.

I asked the village elder, “Excuse me, but why are you calling me a demon lord?”

Elder replies saying… “Maou-sama, you surely jest. You’re releasing such a vast amount of energy covered with such a dark and sinister aura.”

Eh…? What sinister aura?

Then Athena spoke, ( ( “Due to the effects of “Unlimited Mana” your body seems to be leaking out a denser form of mana.” ) )

( ( “Would you like me to turn off “Unlimited Mana” for now? It’s possible the energy might get noticed by higher life forms, including Rogrendria.” ) )

(...Why does she have to scare me using Rogrendria’s name?)

(“Yeah, turn it off. I have plenty of mana of my own so there’s nothing to worry about. Also, hide the Ring of Will or take it inside of you and let me know if there are side effects of other cheats.”)

( ( “Understood.” ) )

Hey Belle, why you didn’t tell me I was leaking out such an immense aura?

“Oh? I thought you were trying to assert your dominance over Rogrendria.” She said it smirkingly while avoiding eye contact with me.

(Huh? So she knows of Rogrendria too? Well her favorite subject was history so it makes sense, but damn it, she didn’t tell me that either.)

So I told the village elder, “Yes, we’re here to help you but on one condition.”

Village elder replies saying… “A condition? But maou-sama we have nothing to offer you.”

So I replied, “I don’t need any offerings; you have to give us a place where we can stay and sleep for the night.”

“Oh, maou-sama if that’s the case then please use my house. I have a large slumberpad (bed) in my room which is used as a breeding nest, you can sleep together with your lady my lord.” Said village elder.

Hearing those words of a perverted village elder, Isabelle immediately turned her eyes toward me with a murderous gaze…

(I think I got the message)...

So there wasn’t anything to fantasize about, but hearing the word “breeding nest" made me immediately want to check the Elder’s room.

Not for educational purposes but because I suspected something.

And as I thought it smelled disgusting.

(“Athena, could you help me build a small shelter and bed before night!?”)

( ( “I cannot do any physical work, but I can certainly give you guidelines step-by-step.” ) )

Phew… well that’s a relief, time to get to work then.

I opened the inventory and took out 500 apples and 200 health potions.

Then gave it to the goblins.

The villagers were astonished and began crying with tears of joy saying, “Maou-sama we’re very grateful to you.”

(After all, having unlimited items makes it impossible for my supply of apples to run out, except I know soon they’re all going to be moldy. I need to turn off the cheat soon, and get rid of them while finding a way to cultivate them.)

(But first things first, I need a bed.)

So according to Athena, it is easy to get half of the physical work done by using “Consume” on trees and using “Craft” to get all the logs, resins, glue and ply.

So I got work right away, I just needed one tree for all the work, so I better find a tree with better wood quality.

Then I found one.

Consume! …

Craft! …

…

Easy! I got all the materials I needed, now all I need to do is get all of them together.

Hmm…

[Alert: You Have Summoned Nuzma’h]

He bows to me right after he is summoned.

Yo, help me build a house and a bed, also, it’s not just for me but also for Isabelle.

(So I gave him a reason, and he won’t try to deny the request. They’re so loyal to Isabelle that they won’t listen to me unless it has some relation to Isabelle, except Kaiser.)

(I need to be strict with them.)

Then Nuzma’h asked, Kazuma-sam, could you summon a fraction of Shadow Legion Knights to distribute the workload?

The villagers watched in amazement as I summoned the Knights, and so I provided the knights with all the materials. Then I start weaving the bed using “Silk Manipulation.”

While weaving I asked the elder about his name, about other monster races, and how often humans come here. At the same time, Nuzma’h was giving directions to knights.

The elder replied saying that his name was Korobing and that the goblins had been living here for a long time, and peacefully but all of a sudden now other races were attacking and eating them.

Korobing said there are many monster races occupying this forest, such as red orcs, forest trolls, blue lizardfolks, dryads, and, some intelligent and wild beasts, each owning their own territories except dryads for they live in trees connected to each other via roots.

Then he said, “Humans are hardly seen in this forest, due to fear of Rogrendria-sama.”

(So he knows about Rogrendria too…)

Then I asked, “What about the Demons? Do they come here as well?”

Then all of a sudden he was silent and afraid… But he spoke…

“Yes, some demons come here but we don’t involved with them due to their malicious nature. Only red orcs come with contact with them.”

I see, so demons might be the cause of troubling the forest residents.

“Yes, maou-sama. You’re right.”

Tell me Korobing, what do you know of Rogrendria?

Korobing said, “Rogrendria is the god of this forest, according to the tale our great great grandfather passed on to us, he told us that Rogrendria is real and he slumbers in this forest somewhere none can enter or unless he wants to show himself.”

(Hmm… as I thought he’s worshipped here.)

And so I turned around and asked Isabelle if she knew anything about Rogrendria or the history of this world.

And so, she replies with a nod while munching on apples.

(WAIT SHE’S STILL EATING APPLES!!?)
