Conquering Hero’s Heroines Chapter 29

「A married woman huh? Hey, hey, what is Norn-san’s family like?」

The red-hooded little girl, Littlette, inquired.

「Ufufu. It’s a secret~. But I have a daughter. One about the same age as you… ah, pardon my rudeness since you, a Lilliput, are already well over 20, aren’t you?」

「Mou~ I’ve been waiting for a while already. By any chance has something interesting happened?」

From Norn’s bag, a letter was taken out with a ridiculing laugh.

「What’s that?」

「A letter from my daughter came. There may be a great adventure for us to embark on after this.」

Now that Norn expected something to happen, her eyes twinkled in antic.i.p.ation.

Soon after, a gray-haired Lilliput came rus.h.i.+ng into the Guild office.

「Big, big trouble!!! Help me!」

While ranting and raving inside, an uproar came from nearby.

「Huh? If it isn’t gramps. What’s going on?」

After a.s.sessing the situation, Littlette called out to him.

「Little-ojousama!!! I’m so glad!! Please spare me from having to come to this kind of place~!」

Out of concern I understand he’s scared and worried, so perhaps worry or terror? he clings onto her.

「O-old man, calm down already. Speak properly! Did something bad happen?」

Borrowing a separate room in the guild, those gathered attentively listened to his detailed story.

「Huh? Even the lift to the house isn’t working anymore?」

From listening to the grey haired old man’s explanation, Littlette’s eyes narrowed.

「T-that’s how it is. Those of you who know of Ojou-sama also know that our «Copper Rank» Lilliput castle is located deep underground and is directly connected to the magical elevator which was constructed in the ancient past. However, while sealing off the area called “Ruins*” some kind of demon intruded and completely shut down the elevator!」

[Daily: Koujou コウジョウ has too many different meanings like a plant, mill, factory, castle ruins, but seeing they’re in ‘lilliput castle’ we’ll call it ruins for now until we get confirmation.]

The grey-haired butler of the «Copper Rank» Lilliput Family took a deep breath and then drank some water after explaining everything.

「No way! Well then, what about Otou-sama and everyone else?」

「Ah… that. The only ones able to escape to the surface were none but us, your retainers. As for the others of the «Copper Rank» Lilliput household… They seem to be trapped in the underground household area.」
