96 If you meet in a dream (1/2)

Dark Knight Kroki

After today's training with Polen, I returned to my mansion.

The mansion is located on the outskirts of the Demon King's Castle.

It's a small castle, even though it's a mansion, it's big enough to be called a small castle.

When you enter the house, Guno and other female knights will greet you.

The best thing about this is the fact that it's not a bad thing. Your Excellency.

I'm home, Lord Guno. Did you find anything unusual?

'No, not particularly: ....... Speaking of which, the Great Witch of the Swamp is here to see you.

The Great Witch of the Swamp is Herkert.

Speaking of which, she said she was going to check on Cuna after lunch.

'Only, that made Lady Coona unhappy.

'Shit. ....... Yeah. ......

I can feel a cold sweat running down my face.

Cuna seems to have a hard time with Herkert.

But it was Kuna who first apprenticed herself to Herkert because she wanted to become stronger.

In a manner of speaking, he's a benefactor of Kuna, and it's indeed impossible to refuse him.

However, you should go and appease Kuna.

'Then I'll have to go appease Kuna.

Then he looks at Guno and the others.

'Sir. What's the matter?

'Nope. I always thought ....... What about that outfit?

For some reason, Guno and the others are not dressed as dark knights while they are in the mansion, but instead they are wearing black bondage.

If you look at them from behind, their butts are exposed.

The Damon tribe is as beautiful as the angel tribe.

It's not easy to look at those female Damon's when they are dressed like that.

”Eh?　His Excellency likes to dress like this, doesn't he?

Guno says curiously.

I want you to wait a minute.

What do Guno and his friends think of me?

I sure do love it!

But I'm sure he didn't want to be found out.

'I certainly like it, but ....... It's very, very bad for my bottom half. ......

'Sir. That's why we're dressed like this, isn't it?　But more importantly, I'll help you take off your armor.

The gunos come up to me to show off their cleavage.

'Ae home, Kroki.

He says without looking at me from his bunk, as if he felt a presence.

He doesn't hug me like he usually does. It's a sign that he's in a bad mood.

”I'm home, Kuna.

He approaches the bunk and touches Cuna's cheek.

Then Kuna hugs her.

She's hugging me, but she's puffy.

It's also cute, but I want her to be in a better mood.

'Buuuuut~'

Sorry, sorry. Control your temper, Kuna.

I hush Kuna as I pat myself on the head.

'Okay ....... But you'll have to love me a lot.

With that, Kuna was spoiled.

Damon's lady knight Guno

Your armor, my lord, is yours.

I help Kuroki-sama change into his clothes and hand the armor he has taken off to the human bear (warbear) girl.

'Yes Guno-sama,'

His Excellency's armor looks heavy for a girl who is only about half my height.

Even though they usually take the form of human girls, they are quite powerful since their true identity is a bear.

They're a very strong race, and even a child can beat a few goblins or orcs.

But it's much weaker than us noble Damonians.

”Lucora. Hurry and prepare your lordship's food. His Excellency probably hasn't had much lunch.

I command my dark elf maid, Lucora.

Master Kuroki does not like the food of the Orcs.

That is why he must not have eaten much lunch.

If anything, he prefers the food of the elven race.

That's why the elven maids are cooking for them.

But it's only cooking.

We Damon should take care of Nargol's strongest knight.

That is non-negotiable.

''I understand, Lady Guno. It's fine to be as diligent as usual, right?

Lucora asks to confirm.

I turn around and answer as a matter of course.

'Of course I do...'

Black haired wise man Chiyuki

Riding the Gryphon, we head north.

Our destination is the northern city of Velos.

There are many clouds in the sky, but there is no problem for the Gryphon to fly.

In the end. I'm sure you're not the only one who's late to leave. Mr. Rage.

'Yes. Chiyuki.

Says Rage, who is flying on a pegasus beside me.

There's no particular reason why our departure was delayed.

I've got a lot of chores to do, but it's something I can do after I go north to check on you.

It's not a reason to be late.

I look at Rage's face as he flies beside me.

He's usually so proactive, but he doesn't have that.

I can tell. Rage is unwilling to go check on me.

Perhaps he's afraid of Shirone's childhood friend.

That's why his legs have slowed down.

I can't hide my surprise that this has happened to the fearless Rage.

But the person in question wouldn't admit to being afraid.

Hey, Chiyuki-san. Isn't it about time we took a break?

Reno, who is riding a hippogriff, suggests a break.

He's certainly been flying since he left in the morning.

''Eh~. Reno. We still have a long way to go. Are you going to take a break now?''

Syrone, who is flying with his own wings, says in frustration.

Syrone is the fastest of the lot if she's just going in a straight line.

As for her, she would like to go further.

''Sirone. I understand that you want to hurry up. Let's take a break for now. It's true that we could go a little further, but you want to rest at a decent place to stay, right?

I say admonishingly, but Shilone is not happy.

There is still time for the sun to set.

However, there are few countries that have proper lodgings.

If we're not good, we'll have to sleep in the field.

But there must be a little larger country near here.

We will stay there tonight.

'Silone. There is no Sahoko or Kaya now. We can't camp there if there is no one to cook our meals. We'll rest here.
