Chapter 534.2

Chapter 534.2

As for the origin of the monsters, I think that they were probably created even before the time of former Emperor Shen.

At the very least, I was able to confirm that Shen did not know of their existence, so I assumed that these monsters were not created by him.

Demon King Finar also said, “...Perhaps there was a history of the emperor distributing monsters to high-ranking nobles in exchange for their cooperation.” And since no record of such a thing could be found, there may have been a considerable backroom deal.

There were still many unknowns, such as the detailed timing of the summoning, why these daggers had not been used until now, and who owned them, but... well, I did not need to get involved in those matters anymore.

But I have not finished everything yet. Until we finish the Magic Festival, all of this terrorism would not yet end.

But it would not be my job to pursue this mystery. There was only so much I could do.

...No, that was a lie. I simply would have to play a minor role in this.

I couldn’t wait to go back to being a mere demon king and spend my days just relaxing with my family.

It seemed strange to me that I could be more relaxed if I went back to being a Demon King.

“Well, Rir, how is your wife? Is she in good health?” (Yuki)

“Ku, kuh.”

“Well...if you need anything, just let me know. They may not have a vet... in this world, but I’ll do whatever I can to help.” (Yuki)

“Kuu.”

Rir purred gratefully.

–Right, actually, it turned out that Mrs. Rir was pregnant as well.

“But you can do it, can’t you? Please, we’ll cooperate with you. We need it. Please.” (Finar)

“...well, we’ll just have to stop building some of them and focus on the construction of the main building to make up for it, and then we can...”

“Oh, I’m sorry, but everything we need to make, must be made. All the facilities we are building are necessary.”

“Are you trying to make me die of exhaustion?”

–I remember well the exchange between the two.

It was a terrible thing that everything went according to Demon King Finar’s plan, since there was no way that we could defeat him with our words.

I heard that Dwarf King Doda had to hire several times as many people as he had initially planned, and this must have more than doubled his workload.

It looked like they were really busy, so I even helped with the construction work where I could do the heavy lifting.

The guards were very upset, saying that it was not something they would let His Majesty do, but even if they had said so, I had no choice because there was no time, so I pushed through and helped with the construction, saying that it was “necessary”.

To be honest, it was easier than working as the emperor.

Thanks to the Dwarf King’s hard work, all the construction around the stadium was able to proceed to the point where it could be completed, and the stadium itself was ready for operation after some minor details were taken care of.
