It's an adventure to get home.
I recall Nuruhachi always saying that.
In fact, our return from the Demon King's Great Labyrinth (Labyrinth) was marred by various troubles and our arrival was greatly delayed.
The first one was the mutation of the Demon Sword Karuna.
After entering the room where the main body of the Demon King was located, she suddenly stopped talking, so when I went outside and spoke to her with concern, a voice like the buzzing of a mosquito echoed in my head.
''...... Takkun, our home is no longer good.''
What's wrong, Karna? Are you okay?
"The Demon King's room was so powerful, I tried to take it from him, but it just made me sick.
Did the Demon King's alien power cause a rejection because even Karuna couldn't absorb it?
The reason Karuna did such a thing was probably because her remaining power was quite low. She hadn't given him any power for a long time since she left on her journey.
He handed Karuna to Leia and let her suck the power out of him.
Before, Leia would have had all her power sucked out of her in an instant, but now she was able to endure it for quite some time.
'Let's just rest for today. Leia must be tired, too. We'll leave tomorrow morning.'
Yes, Takumi.
In the desert in front of the Great Labyrinth of the Demon King, they are about to start making preparations for camp.
But someone opposed to it.
"We're going to take a break just because the demon sword has sucked out our power. You're such a feeble little girl.
The brave end said with sarcasm.
'I'll change my mind next time. The demon sword will be more pleased with the power of a brave man.
Don't lick it! I'm not in shape! Takumi-san, let's get going!
Staring at each other, End and Leia.
'No, no, no, wait a minute. You're not going to come with us, are you?
Yeah, I'll be watching you all the way to the big meeting.
They don't call me Demon King Takumi anymore, but for some reason End sticks to me.
'You, what are you trying to do by approaching Takumi-san? You're not trying to become an apprentice, are you?
No, no, no. No, no, no. I'm a brave man who watches over anyone suspected of being a demon king.
You're a liar! You're in love with Takumi, aren't you?
'Ho, ho, ho, I'm in love with you? No, no! I'm just going to be a pure brave man.
Ends desperately screaming with a bright red face.
'Home, Kaeyu?'
Yeah, why don't you just leave me alone and we'll go home?
Yeah!
The Chihar who answered cheerfully was the usual Chihar. The adult Chihar that was staring at the Demon King's main body had completely disappeared.
''Takumi-san, please wait!''
Wait, Takumi. You're gonna be held accountable for your actions.
What's your responsibility? You don't mean the touching of her breasts, do you?
"Tak-kun, you've got lots of friends on your way home.
Karuna, feeling a little better, said teasingly.
After all, despite the fact that it took eight days to get there on the way, the return trip would take twice as long, sixteen days.
Leia and End had a lot of silly fights and a lot of trouble.
They competed to see who could hold onto Karna longer, and when they both fell down, I seriously considered leaving them alone.
'You've finally arrived at home, Takumi,'
So this is my new home.
Yeah, no, no. You're in my house.
Moo Moo, you live in your house?
Oh, there it is, Chiharu.
However, when they hear Chihar's voice asleep on their backs, they think, Oh well.
As soon as they reach the cave, Leia and Endo, who have wasted their energy, quickly fall asleep with Chihar.
Leaving Karuna behind, I walked out, alone, to find a beautiful full moon illuminating the cave.
As she exhales heavily, her breath turns white and she realizes that winter is approaching.
Most of the food we had prepared for the winter was gone.
Will we survive this winter?
As I was looking up at the moon, a figure called out to me from the shadow of a large rock in front of the cave.
Welcome back, Takumi.
The one who bowed and appeared was Jaslak, the Goblin King again, just like when we left.
I have a very bad feeling about this.
''Ladies and gentlemen, we have been waiting impatiently for Takumi-sama's return. Come on over here.
Everyone hadn't left yet.
I couldn't stop feeling bad as I was led towards the round table.
'What is this?'
On the round table was a pile of liquor and food.
And next to them were bales of rice, weapons and armor.
In one of them I find a familiar shield.
There's no doubt about it. That's the Magic Shield King Bomb.
And at the round table, Rick, Chloe, Zach and Miakis as well as three other strangers have joined in and are drinking and making a fool of themselves.
''Why is this like a banquet?''
'As soon as Takumi-sama left, the people of the city brought a tremendous amount of tribute. Since it's a good time to be here, Mr. Zach insisted that we all make some noise together, and this is what happened.
I don't know why we're all making so much noise together.
''Oh, you're back, Demon King.
While eating the bone-in meat, the mad warrior (berserker) Zach approaches me.
"Well, Mr. Demon King, the people of the city like you a lot. I was wrong about the Demon King. I'm sure you'll be happy to be on our side if you're such a good demon king.
Thank you. That's good enough for me. I'd rather you take this one.
Oh, no need for such a magnificent shield!
Hmm. It looks good on you. After all, a big shield must be carried by a big man. This one is worthy of you.
Demon King.
Since you seem to be impressed, let's keep quiet about this Demon Shield King Bomb self-destructing.
''Why did you go quietly to our house?''
Then a staggered Chloe came in.
'Take Leia and Chiharu with you, why didn't you take my fiancée with you?
Chloe's eyes were sitting up. The language is different than usual. Also different from her fiancé.
'No, Leia and her friends just followed me on their own: ......
I don't listen to that! I'm asking you what you think of me!
Completely drunk.
Somebody help me, I looked at the round table and locked eyes with Rick, who was drinking alone.
As usual, he didn't take off his helmet when he was drinking and eating.
'Rick: ......'
But before he can call for help, Ric gets up and heads to the Goblin King.
'Oh, Rik-kun, are we back in the game?'
"Oh, let's get started, Mr. Jaslash.
Rick starts playing chess with the Goblin King as he runs away.
Come to think of it, in the past, when I was at the party and Sasha was tangled up with me, Rick was gone at some point.
''Tak-kun, are you listening to me properly?
A drunk Chloe is a bit scary, the way she talks to Karna is similar to the way she talks to me.
I managed to calm Chloe down while I tried my best to deal with her.
''Oh, Demon Lord, welcome back,''
After caring for a drunken Chloe, the last one to come was the Beast King Miakis.
''I've brought all of the Four Heavenly Kings with me. Let me introduce you to them.
The identity of the three first faces is revealed.
Dogma, the Immortal King with a full-body skeleton.
Camilla, the vampire king with sharp fangs and bat-like wings.
Azathoth, the Dark King covered in darkness.
Yeah, it's super scary. Too scary.
Miakis with cat ears looks cute.
"Well, I'll take a rain check on that. I just got back today and I'm tired.
That's too bad.
Behind a disappointed Miakis, the three of them are looking at me and talking.
''So that's the vessel of the current Demon King-sama. What do you think, Camilla?
Yeah, I think he's a pretty nice guy. He's my type.
That's not what I asked. I want you to test it to see if it's real!
'I can't, Dogma. It's completely shut down. I've never seen anything quite like it before.
No, I don't shut it off at all. Rather, it's always full throttle full power.
"There is no such thing as ...... truth. All that exists is interpretation.
The other Four Heavenly Kings, Azathoth, seemed to be muttering to himself meaningfully, but he had no idea what he was talking about.
Everyone was getting along pretty well.
It can be troublesome, but I can't help but think that living every day surrounded by friends like this isn't surprisingly bad.
But I guess that's only until the big war club.
I'll tell you all about it at the big war party.
Whose vessel is the Demon King in right now?
None of them had yet to notice what I was clearly sure of.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
It's an adventure to get home.
