Chapter 504.2

After that, we spent some time chatting with Finar’s wife.

In this short time, I was able to get a general idea of her personality, and the jokes she told from her serious face were surreal and amusing, and I learned that she was actually a person with a good sense of humor.

The important thing here was that she kept a very serious face, and it barely changed whether she was making a joke or not.

However, she laughed gently in some parts of the conversation, and I could sense her love for Finar as it was evident in her words when talking about him.

In fact, my girl immediately took a liking to her.

Finar certainly had chosen an interesting person to be his wife.

The conversation then turned to Rir, and Enne said, “...I’ll bring you over there, and I’d like you to touch Rir’s fluffy hair,” to which the wife of the Demon King replied, “Well, I’m looking forward to that,” and they left the room together.

We talked about a lot of unrelated things, but it was a good time for me to start talking to the Demon King about something else while sipping the tea he had brewed for me.

“Oh yeah, I had to ask, how’s the competition thing going on now so far?”

“We’re still discussing it. I think we’ve decided on the general framework and what we’re going to do. Actually, we were planning to have a meeting with you, Yuki, at Rogard Empire soon. –We’re planning to have two competitions this time.” DiisCoover updated novels on n(o)v./e/lbin(.)com

I see, so they have narrowed it down to two.

“One is to test the beauty and difficulties in magic. And the second one is all about tests of physical strength, magical skill, tactical acumen, and perfection of teamwork, all of which are required. This second one is based on the main points of the competitions you have told us about. The first is the Magic Festa and the second is the Battle Festa. If you come up with a better name, let me know.”

“Wow...that’s great, I’m getting excited just hearing about it!”

Although airships have become a new means of transportation, there still existed a big difference in transportation capacity, both in people and goods, between airships and ocean vessels.

Considering that this was a competition that would bring together countries, it would be more convenient to have the event as close to the sea as possible.

Fortunately, the imperial capital of Gallia was very large, and its southern end faced the sea.

As one of the largest nations in this world, the scale of its capital alone would be comparable to that of the royal capital of Allysia Kingdom and perhaps even to the royal capital of the Demon World combined in size.

I wish someone in this world would invent something like a train. That’s right, a TRAIN!

I think that this world was comparable to early modern times in the history of my previous life.

However, it was clear that the development of this world was slow compared to the length of its history.

This was probably because of the harshness of the environment surrounding the humanoid races.

In addition to strong external enemies in the form of monsters, there were multiple humanoid countries that did not get along with each other, and the seeds of conflict were everywhere.

According to the story of the God Ruin, Dominus, which was this world itself, sought chaos, in other words, diversity of races... but I couldn’t help but think that it was a little too diverse.

But still, there existed scenes that could only be seen in this world, and I think I understand what Dominus was aiming for.

This world was cruel, ruthless, merciless, and harsh – but above all, it was fantastic.

I wonder if Dominus and the elder Gods would like to witness the competition we were going to organize...

“...Hmmm, that sounds good. The construction plan is being planned mainly by the Dwarves, but Yuki, can I hear what you have in mind right now?”

“Okay, I’ll tell you what I think would be a good plan.”

We then proceeded with our discussions.
