Chapter 814: Bareback’s Travel (2)

Chapter 814: Bareback’s Travel (2)

A young demon leaving his village for the first time.

That is my state of mind when I arrived at the big city of Village Five.

Well, it’s quite a spectacular city.

And it’s very lively.

Ramen is delicious!

I like that there are different types of it.

The underground shopping street also offers a variety of fashions!

Sake here is good too!

It’s so much fun!

However!

The acting village chief is Youko, the mythical fox spirit.

I don’t think anyone should even go near her.

I liked the liveliness of Shashaato City.

The food called curry is delicious.

The food called katsudon is also good.

There was also a bakery that’s selling strangely tasty bread.

......

But, why is a royal guardian of the ancient kingdom(mercury) here?

Could it be that Governor Ifrus is a royalty of the ancient kingdom?

No, I think Governor Ifrus is also my relative.

A distant one though.

My elder brother’s......no, was it the son of the son of my elder sister’s son......or is he the son of the daughter?

Whatever it is, a royal guardian is stronger than generals.

You shouldn’t let your guard down just because she looks like a little girl.

Best thing to do is not to get close to her.

Yeah.

And the royal capital.

......

When I meet the demon king, I will tell him to put a little more effort into the culinary affairs of the kingdom.

I spent time in Village Five and Shashaato City and the only thing I was satisfied with in this place was the restaurant where the maids were serving you.

No, maybe I would be satisfied with the food in the royal castle......

Even so, I won’t go to the royal castle since they seem to be busy preparing for the parade.

If I go there when they’re busy, I’ll just cause some unnecessary trouble.

I won’t go to the royal castle until after the parade.

I’ll be joining the parade though.

The parade will start in Village Five so I moved to Village Five.

The transfer gate is really convenient.

You can go from one place to another fast.

I am not surprised at the function of the gate because I have used an operational gate several times in the past but I still think of it as something impressive.

Especially when I thought that the current demon king can utilize teleportation gates that are said to be an extinct technology.

He is someone that no one can be underestimated.

I wish he would put one to where I live though.

It would make my traveling easier.

Also, I will be able to go to Village Five and Shashaato City frequently.

After a few days of parading, I finally went to see the demon king.

Ah, I am no longer accompanied by those who were sent to watch over me.

The number of those who had been watching me had been gradually decreasing, seduced by the charms of Village Five and Shashaato City. Those who remained in the end all were all thrashed during the military exercise in the royal capital at the end of the parade.

They took their chance and went straight to the demon king that time.

I would like to commend them for going to him head on but unfortunately, the difference in ability is so high that they weren’t able to do anything.

Why did they even think they could win when they saw the demon king?

No, I don’t think they did.

They went straight to him to formally apply for a duel.

The demon king must accept all challenges.

In any case, I hope they will concentrate on recuperating and get better when it’s time for me to return.

They’re the ones who were paying for my travel expenses.

Even though they were supposed to watch over me, it would be a shame to leave them behind.

I met the demon king right away.

It didn’t seem like he had much time on his hands so I wonder if I pushed him too much.

「Bareback-sama, it’s been a while.」

Yeah, it’s been a while.

I think the last time we met was when you were crowned as the demon king.

「No, we met when Yuri was born.」

Just look at him from afar......

No, just looking at him is already poisonous.

I’d like to limit myself to just hearing rumors.

「If that’s what Bareback-sama, the one who is said to know the best move the Demon King’s Kingdom could ever make, says so, it must be right. Unfortunately, it’s already too late for me.........」

That’s a real shame.

「Well, there are many times where I enjoyed it.」

Like what? That bone whale?

Areh, is that what they call it?

「Ahaha......」

I guess you have no shortage of stimulation.

「Yeah」

I guess you’re still young to be able to enjoy those kinds of things.

I envy you.

「What are you saying? Bareback-sama is still young.」

Hahaha, don’t flatter me.

Just seeing that from afar is too much stimulation for me.

It shortened my lifespan.

「Is that so? Then, you only have 1500 more to go?」

No, only around a thousand more.

「Ahahaha, as expected, you’re still young. Would you like to meet village chief? I can arrange it.」

Phew.

I would be lying if I say I’m not interested.

I am very curious to know what kind of person can lead the herd of ancient dragons and pack of inferno wolves.

However, I’ll say it again, I won’t.

He’s like an active volcano.

Don’t go near it.

Don’t even think about using it.

It’s something that you can only pray at to not erupt.

「.........I really wanted to introduce you.」

Give me a break.

Besides, there are godkins around him, right?

I saw Malbit, Ruincia, Suarurou, and Raz Maria.

And there’s even Reginleif.

I don’t want to get involved with anything related to the godkins.

There are too many bitter memories.

I can’t do it.

Or else, I might do something.

I’ll leave the affairs of the kingdom to you.

I’m counting on you.

「Yes. I’ll do everything within my power.」

What are you saying? Even if it perishes, we’ll just go back to the old days.

Just do as you please.

「......thank you very much. How long will Bareback-sama stay here?」

I want to enjoy the food in Village Five and Shashaato City.

I intend to stay for a while.

「Understood. I can arrange a place for you to stay. I can even reserve a store for you.」

I appreciate your offer but I’ll pass.

I’m not traveling without money this time.

I won’t give you any trouble.

I will stop by to say hello before I leave.

With these words, I left my seat and left the demon king.

-0-

I think it was around a month ago that I had such a conversation with the demon king.

I told him that I don’t want to get involved with anything related to the godkins but somehow, I had been captured by a little godkin girl.

When I asked her who she was, she said she is Ruincia’s granddaughter.

No, she was emphasizing that she’s the daughter of the village chief who led the herd of ancient dragons and pack of inferno wolves.

......

I said I didn’t want to get involved with them!

How did this happen?

In any case, I have sent out a request for help.

Let’s hope that the demon king can find me.

Ah, little boy with a little horn on your forehead.

Don’t mind me.

Yeah.

Don’t.

The store where maids serve = Earth’s café

Bitter memories with the angels = Beaten to a pulp on the battlefield. Lost many times in battle. When he thought he finally won, was overturned by force.
