CH 113

Chapter 113 – Prepared

“Huh?”

To defeat the summoned one who has fallen into evil?

I didn’t fall! Whose fault is it that I became such a mass murderer?

How can he have holy power when he puts the kingdom’s citizens in danger by letting the monsters run amok in the first place?

Oh, for heaven’s sake, don’t be ridiculous. I don’t care about a bunch of monsters or something. I’ll definitely break through. I don’t know about the holy capital or the royal capital, but I won’t stop there at all. I won’t even go near it.

I’m going to fill up the Ural with fuel and give the driver’s ladies strict orders to run over anything that blocks the road without hesitation.

…Wait a minute. I don’t have enough diesel fuel in stock to run 800km (2 trucks).

I’ve got to get a jerry can from Simon… with capacity and refueling frequency; there’s no end to it. I guess I’ll need drums and electric pumps, or maybe I’ll have tanks back in Casemaian and a more extensive refueling facility.

For now, it’s a way to refuel on the move and a firearm to protect the convoy and break through the siege.

Oh, shit! Why do I have to deal with these idiots messing with me?

“Calm down, Yoshua. You really do look like a demon king when you look like that, you know?”

How can there be such a petty demon king? What I’m thinking about right now is how to get fuel to get our people to Casemaian without any problems.

The Ural military trucks and civilian Ural trailers have been taken out of storage, and the refugees are being boarded under the guidance of the winged ladies.

The driver of Car 1 (military truck) is Luvia-san, and Lumier-san, who plays the role of an elf elder, is sitting in the passenger seat as a communications officer who also serves as an escort.

Car 2, the trailer-type truck, has Owe-san as the driver and Lionora-san, a half-beastman, in the passenger seat. Unlike Lumier-san, who was armed with his own bow, Lionora-san was a civilian, and her only weapon was a dagger, which she used only halfway for ceremonial purposes.

Perhaps sensing the meaning of my gaze, Owe-san indicated with her hand the assault rifle and spare ammunition magazine behind the seat.

“Don’t worry. We have M4s.”

“Yes, thank you. If it comes down to it, we’ll be counting on you.”

Both vehicles were now almost full of fuel. When the fuel gauge drops below a quarter of a tank, it’s time to refuel.

If I open the “market” now, it will be troublesome to explain to the marquis, so I will do it at the first rest stop after refueling.

“Yoshua-dono’s face turns into that of a child when he is in contact with Myrril-dono, doesn’t it?”

Marquis Yerkel smiled as he looked at me and Myrril, who were confirming the route and the arrangements.

“It is natural. I am the queen of the Demon King Yoshua, his comrade-in-arms, his bodyguard, his wife, and his mother.”

When did you become my mother?

Yes, but maybe that’s okay. I’d like to see her as a mother, too. I think she’d make a good mother… even if I’m a little worried about breast milk.

“Mother!?”

“…Oh? I thought I heard something strange, eh Myrril, are you okay? Your face is turning fluorescent pink!”

“Y-you suddenly said something weird-nya!”

Nya, you say? What does that mean? Even the marquis turned her face away and shrugged her shoulders.

Well, it’s okay. I feel much better now. As long as I have my priorities straight, there is nothing to fear anymore.

“Thank you, Marquis, for your hospitality. We are going back to Casemaian. We will see each other again if we have the chance.”

“Is that okay? I don’t doubt the power of the Demon King at this point, but the middle of the road is still crawling with monsters and under the control of the enemy.”

“I… w-we’ll be fine. As long as I have Myrril and our friends, no matter what the enemy might be…”

I laughed like a real Demon King.

“I’ll just kill them all.”
