Chapter 135: At the Break of the Night

When we entered the ruins, we first unloaded our luggages .

It seems that the light from my leather bag is enough for the time being .

For the time being, I checked the room was indeed not as spacious as we thought .

There seems to be nothing to worry about .

It appears that this place were simply just a simple building .

After a brief search around the area, we had a quick dinner .

After dinner, we made a quick review for our plans tomorrow .

When that was over, we finally started to sleep .

[Let me help you take off your clothing . ]

[I- I’m alright already… Nngghh]

Liz’s struggling voice .

Eve puts her hands on LIz’s clothing .

[Look at you now, don’t say I didn’t say anything . ]

[……uuuu . ]

In a village we stopped by on the way towards the Demon Zone .

I bought Liz’s clothing there .

This was supposedly something that a certain noble wanted to give to his beloved daughter, but was rejected .

Liz was still struggling to put on and take off this clothing .

A garment that didn’t take into account the ease of taking it off .

Even with how it’s made, it also didn’t take into account the pleasantness of wearing it when it’s time to sleep .

Therefore, taking it off was necessary so that it wouldn’t disturb her when it’s supposed to be time for her to be sound asleep .

However, this armor certainly has a high quality of durability in exchange .

These are some things that you could certainly get with money .

As expected though, the design of this armor looks a bit horrible…

I turned my back towards Liz as I took off my coat and sat beside Seras .

[I need to buy some proper clothing for Liz some time later . ]

[I think that clothing suits her though . ]

While combing her fascinating fine gold hair, Seras said .

Even when she came into the Demon Zone, she still cares about her appearance .

With my arm as a pillow, I laid down on the ground .

[In Liz’s case, even the material used to make it is good . Most of the clothing was only made to look good when you wear them . Even with that kind of clothing . ]

Seras stopped combing her hair and put her index finger on her lips .

She appeared to be mulling about something as she looked upwards .

[That is… indeed how you say…]

[I think anything would fit with you no matter what you wear . ]

[……Do you think so?]

[Yeah, that’s what I think . ]

I turned my gaze to the side .

Seras looks like she’s lost in her thoughts .

She looks like she’s being nostalgic .

[What’s the matter?]

[Yeah,… It’s just that I was reminded of the princess-sama who often encouraged me to wear various outfits . She would always get her hand on new clothings and she would put them on me . Before I knew it, it ended up becoming the princess-sama’ hobby…]

[Well, you must have become quite the dress-up doll . ]

It’s quite unusual for Seras to spontaneously talk about her past .

[Pakkyyyuuunn!]

[Pigii!]

The little Slei passed by in front of us .

There’s also Pigimaru riding on her back .

It looks like they’ve become good friends .

[Then, you must have been quite close with that princess-sama . ]

[That’s also what I had thought . ]

Seras has a really large misconception regarding the Holy King all these while .

Because of that situation, did she lose some confidence in her relationship with the princess-sama?

[……………… . ]

The princess-sama huh .

The princess of the Holy Kingdom of Neia where Seras once lived .

Speaking of which…

Isn’t that princess-sama arranged to be married towards Civit?

I wonder what happened to her now that Civit has died .

Perhaps, Seras might also be concerned about this .

She normally wouldn’t have emotions easily read by others .

[Seras, if you—]

[I pledged to swing my sword for your sake . So, please don’t worry about it . ]

Anticipating what I would say, Seras spoke .

[Besides, if it’s the princess-sama, I’m sure she’ll be alright . She’s a wise person… I think she’s freely walking around even now . ]

She seems to have a deep trust towards that princess-sama .

I look at Seras who had a good posture as she sat .

Her graceful appearance lightly covers her sorrows .

Just slightly .

She’s trying to not express her sorrow on her face .

IF you don’t closely observe her, you won’t be able to read the feelings she hid deep within herself .

She trusts the princess .

Therefore, please don’t worry about her .

[……………… . . ]

That’s not the case at all .

Seras has been taken aback .

She wasn’t able to say anything as her eyes were swimming about .

I unintentionally blurted something unusual— or so her atmosphere says .

Her small lips open and close several times .

It appears that she wants to change the subject .

And— she can’t think of any topic to swerve the conversation to .

[Before we entered the ruins, did you see that thing that shone in the distance?]

Therefore, I brought up another topic myself .

[Ah… Y- Yes—- I’ve seen that but…]

For some reason, Seras’ upper body vigorously leaned closer .

I withdraw back a little .

[…What do you think of that light?]

[My guess would be that it’s a fight between monsters . ]

[Do the monsters here also fight against each other?]

[If the Root of All Evil that created them were different, it is said that conflicts would still occur even between the Golden-eyed monsters . However, that theory has still yet to be proven . ]

I look back on the things that Seras has taught me .

The Golden-eyed monsters that run rampant around the world have been created by the Root of All Evil for each successive generation .

The past Roots of All Evil has already been destroyed by the Heroes from Another World of that generation .

However, there were still some Golden-eyed monsters that they’ve created remaining that weren’t wiped out by the past Heroes .

And the majority of these monsters have either ran away towards the various underground ruins or into this Demon Zone .

[Funnn… . So, you’re saying that they would have discord among themselves if their “creator” was different huh . ]

[Contrary to what others might expect though, compared to other living creatures around, there seems to be a stronger sense of family among the Golden-eyed monsters . ]

I see .

So, they have a strong sense of companionship huh .

So it isn’t that there’s nonexistent, but there’s just hardly any conflicts among them .

[……………… . . ]

[Touka-dono? What’s the matter?]

[Hmm? Ahh… No, it’s just that light…]

Weren’t from conflict between monsters .

[I’ve just thought that this pattern could possibly be where humans and demons were fighting against each other…]

The night has fallen .

Just before we went to bed, Seras suddenly looked meek .

“I wonder if the reason why Touka-dono doesn’t happily smile that much is because I’m such a boring High Elf…”

After confessing her hidden sorrows, all of the other members of the “Fly King Squadron”, other than Seras, oddly entered the ruins all at the same . Aside from this, we were able to spend the night without any problems .

Having checked the time, I put away my pocket watch .

It’s already morning outside .

After eating our breakfast, we reviewed today’s plans .

And after we finished our preparations, we decided to leave .

Seras and Liz were now working on their final luggages .

While wrapping Pigimaru around my body under my robe, I spoke towards the two of them .

[I’ll be going out with Eve first . ]

[Understood . We’ll also be going after you soon . ]

[Yeah— Let’s go, Eve . ]

Eve finished wearing her leather belt .

[Umu . ]

I walk towards the door to go outside .

A few distance away from Seras and the others, Eve who was walking next to me spoke .

[However… I was quite surprised last night . I’ve never thought that Seras would be worried about that . ]

[Seras did tell some of her old stories yesterday… Perhaps, she has recalled some other things together with those memories . ]

According to what she said last night…

“Seras-dono certainly is an unparalleled beauty and a very attractive woman, but she somewhat lacks a sense of humor . ”

She was told as such by several nobles many times back when she was a Holy Knight .

[However, there are many other great things about Seras . There’s no need for Seras to humor those intolerable nobles anymore . ]

“Umu”, said Eve as she crossed her arms .

[Nevertheless… I was also going to enumerate Seras’ strong points last night . It didn’t seem like Seras needed any comforting anymore . On the contrary, it feels like she became embarrassed…]

I scratched my head .

[I think you need to learn some more delicacy…]

[What? Delicacy, you say?]

[Even some of those parts that could be seen as strong points might be viewed as a source of trouble from the person herself . Those stuff may also be problems that the person herself had trouble responding with . ]

It must be because the other person is Eve .

That’s why we’re open-minded with her personality .

Even Seras herself didn’t get angry with Eve .

“Grrrrrr…”, Eve let out a low growl .

[Did I do something wrong…? I truly have no idea…]

This is why Eve Speed was called thickheaded huh .

[By the way Eve, did you notice anything?]

She must have sensed the change in the tone of my voice .

The atmosphere around Eve tensed up .

[No, I still haven’t sensed anything… However, you must have felt something?]

[…Yeah . ]

She still hasn’t noticed that presence huh .

It was just me who feels that something’s out of place .

Standing in front of the door, I pour my magic energy into the jewel .

[Eve, don’t go out immediately after the door opens . ]

[…Acknowledged . I see— So, this is the reason why you said we would go out before Seras and the others huh . ]

It seems that she finally noticed it now that we arrived “here” .

However, it was just me who had been slightly aware of that presence by the time we’ve just woken up .

How should I say this?

It’s like that person is intentionally removing its presence .

That’s what I felt about this…

———Rumble, rumble——–

The bright sunlight started coming in through the crevice of the door .

The door was now fully opened .

Clinging to the side of the door, Eve positioned somewhere she could hide herself .

I was also clinging to the other side of the door .

Towards the other side of this door should be the staircase heading downwards .

Slowly, I peeped outside and looked below .

“That” was standing at the end of the staircase .

The reason that only I felt its presence .

I felt like I somehow understood why .

Similarly peeping from the other side of the door, Eve gulps .

[———————-]

While still gazing towards that thing, it seems like she unconsciously stepped back .
