The strange adventure of a broke mercenary

Judie had almost forgotten about this helmet, but a certain circumstance happened, and the warehouse was ransacked to the ground. It seems to have something to do with the man in black armor we encountered in the dwarven village.вЂќ But recently, the situation has changed a bit. вЂњIt seems that this helmet alone canвЂ™t do anything, so itвЂ™s been sitting collecting dust in a corner of the warehouse. The reason for this was not well known, but it was said to have been brought from the land of humans a long time ago. вЂњI also thought that maybe we could just throw it into some furnaces around hereвЂ¦ But seems like itвЂ™s not a good idea.вЂќДЄccording to Judie, this black helmet possessed powerful magic, and normal furnaces wouldnвЂ™t even make it lose its shape. Not really understanding the purpose of this commission, Loren and Gula stared at the black helmets on the table and made those comments. The helmet didnвЂ™t look like something a Demon King would go to the trouble of asking someone to transport it for. It wasnвЂ™t even decorated вЂ“ it was something made for practical use only. There were numerous patterns carved on it, but overall it was a very plain, all-black helmet. What appeared from under the removed cloth was a black metal helmet. вЂњMy motherвЂ™s request is, throwing this into the crater of a certain volcano.вЂќ Lapis removed the cloth covering the object and told Loren, who was watching the maid: She placed it on the table, bowed, then retreated to stand near the wall again. The maid bowed deeply and walked away, then returned a moment later with a round object covered with a cloth in her hand. Lapis replied, and gave some orders to the maid who was standing by. вЂњIвЂ™ve just heard about it from my mother, more or less.вЂќ вЂњAnd what does Demon King-sama want us to do?вЂќ To demons, the equivalent to a sovereign was the Great Demon King. It was still quite impressive, of course, but compared to a sovereign, it was inevitably much inferior in terms of power and bloodline.

The title вЂDemon KingвЂ™ tended to conjure up images of great things, but after listening to LapisвЂ™s explanation, Loren thought that the position was more like that of a General in other countries. Gula sounded impressed, but Lapis responded nonchalantly. вЂњSo, Lapis-chanвЂ™s mother is a Demon King.вЂќ вЂњMineвЂ¦ Well, I have to start from there, right?вЂќДЄnd with a sigh, Lapis began to tell Gula the whole story.Д«ut the whole story was just that, LapisвЂ™ mother had a commission for them to do, and the reward would be the right to use the white greatsword. Is it about accepting my motherвЂ™s request or not?вЂќ вЂњSo, whatвЂ™s the situation? Will you explain it to me?вЂќ It wasnвЂ™t about where she resided in Kapha, what he was rather interested in was where in that city people who were used to having maids waiting on them lived.ДЄs if to interrupt that train of thought of Loren, Gula asked Lapis: Lapis answered evasively, and Loren got a bit anxious.

вЂњThat reminds me, where do you live when youвЂ™re in Kapha, Lapis?вЂќ Loren didnвЂ™t want to be in a situation where he felt like he was being watched or had a maid waiting by his side at all times, but Lapis said that this was the norm, and that he wouldnвЂ™t want to go through the trouble of calling for the maids every time he needed them. вЂњThe curiosity of demons is unforgivingвЂ¦ I got three.вЂќДЄs Gula sat down next to Lapis with a scowl on her face, the maid who had been waiting in a corner of the room immediately offered her a steaming cup without making a sound. вЂњThe fire-logsвЂ¦ Did they stuff them into your mouth?вЂќ Of course, it would have been very easy for Gula to fight off the maids and torture them as she wished instead, but she seemed to think that it was necessary to let the demons know that she was currently a harmless existence. The maids were able to torture Gula as they wished because she had condoned it. Gula was a being called Evil God, so she definitely wasnвЂ™t the type to be overpowered by maids, even demon ones. Loren wondered why, but he soon realized the reason. Loren greeted Gula with a teasing remark, but Lapis gave her a nod and some words of gratitude. вЂњYou guys are having tea while IвЂ™m having a hard time.вЂќ In such a state, Gula sat facing them and watched them sip their tea with reproachful eyes. Her long blond hair was a mess, and her disheveled clothes were slipping off her body. Loren and Lapis were sitting in a guest room sipping tea prepared by maids and waiting for her when she came in, and the state of her startled them. The maids must have done a lot of things to her after that visit. About an hour after Loren and Lapis had visited her room only to close the door softly and leave again, Gula was released from the maidsвЂ™ clutch.
