The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Chapter 122: After the Meeting

When we left the room, we went back to the guest room while being transported to a wheelchair.

Looking at the room, the candles seem to be changing and new.

You're being considerate.

"Do you need help?"

And the king sword-like woman who brought me this far said.

"No, fine. Doesn't mean you have a hard time walking."

"Use this for the time being"

What was offered was a stick like that used by the old man.

Similar to what Carol has.

"Thanks"

Take it, stand up from the wheelchair as you poke at the ground.

Looks like your weight is well supported.

Just the right length.

I support it with my wrist, not my side, so if I use it too much, I'm going to hurt my wrist.

Well, I'm working out, and if you're careful, you'll be fine.

"You may keep that with you."

I don't mind taking it as it is when I leave the castle, I guess.

"Right. It helps."

"Now if you'll excuse me."

The Wang sword-like man bowed his head with a pebble and went out of the room.

The door can be closed.

I moved and sat on the couch.

"Ugh..."

Unexpectedly, I sigh.

Carol sat in the chair the same way.

"Yuri, can I ask you something?

"What?"

"Earlier... the suggestion to send citizens, how did you get it?

"You didn't like it?

Either that or I thought I'd get angry if I said no.

"No, not like that... but I didn't feel like you"

I guess.

"I didn't want to take it either, but that's not a bad suggestion. The crew can handle it."

That's a good story, especially for the Cakedri squad.

I didn't have anything to do, which is weird, but they just moved on their own while they were away, and they just brought in some other supplies.

Moved on its own, too, wouldn't be a handful, since it didn't have merit.

If you engage in this type of operation, you will not be slandered for merely serving in the military.

"That's true... isn't it unusual to take trouble from yourself?

"Even I have the temptation to ask for a final favor. We don't know each other."

Unlimited proximity to others.

... Well, the King's mate was a friend of Gowk's, he also said something like that, isn't he someone else?

"Right. I think it's a fine thing to do as a knight."

"As far as I'm concerned, it's extra action to get through."

"What do you mean?

Don't you see?

Does this guy think that taking on that is an action that has nothing wrong with military action?

It's a medal. No matter how many of those options you have, it's no different.

"You... you want to go home first?

"Ha!?

Carol raised her bare voice.

He didn't imagine it.

"Most of the Wang Eagles have to let them go anyway. There's no need for more than two dozen eagles in the army walking down the road, considering the rice you feed them."

Well, is it a place where four elite people walk with you?

Others, bait, it also becomes extra baggage that just fools meat.

"I'm not leaving."

I knew this would happen.

Though, it's also true that when this guy returns, there's a blow to morale.

This may be overly considerate, but Carol still has a better image of being on the same track.

Though in the form of my orders, I left the people behind and left first.

I've got a direct line to Queen Simoney here right now, and when I get her opinion, she'll tell me to take her first.

No matter how handy you are, I don't think the siege of Reform, including ex-post processing, will end in less than a week, and if you have ten days of respite, you can escape to Siyalta at your leisure.

Even if the enemy hits his next hand early, it's hard to catch up on horseback if he's six days ahead.

Horseback riding doesn't allow full speed driving to continue for days, and loading the carriage with feed and more to get rid of infantry in the form of horseback riding plus carriages, and even if we hurry as much as possible, it's impossible to shorten this distance.

The likelihood of being in battle with a chaser the enemy has unleashed in the course of a general invasion is close to zero.

but there is a peculiar case for everything.

Like dragons the other day.

"Your presence puts the refugees at risk. You know what I mean?"

"I...? I don't know what that means."

"If you were here, Squad...... I don't know if I could call you a spectator anymore, but that has to put your protection first. If you weren't here, I'd have to use what I can to help the people, because you are, to keep you away from the crisis."

But crossing the straits is also dangerous...

Wang Eagle isn't allowed to ride with his leg injured either...

Which way, I have to go back by road, so I can't supervise.

Well... it's not that hard to do anything else, and even if I use my first eagle altogether and include a foot injury, maybe 95% should be fine.

Are land routes more likely to be at risk of more than 5%......

I wonder which is the smart choice.

"Then I... what should I do?

Carol said I was worried.

When I looked up, he looked somewhat sad.

"I... shall follow Yuri's choice"

"No, that's what I promised from the beginning."

Don't tell me like this is the first time a promise has occurred right now...

I freak out......

"I'm thinking now"

If the danger is a ton, would it be better to let them accompany you there for the aftermath benefit of land?

No, is it reasonable to assume that the degree of danger is not a ton, but both unknown?

It's not like a game where probabilities can be calculated from the start.

I don't know.

But we can use cakedri this time, so even if you get caught up on horseback riding by road, you just have to run.

"You, when the enemy arrives, can you escape properly?

"... I can escape"

"If, when the enemy catches up to you, you break your word and let's face it, everything will be messed up already. Many people die for nothing. That's when you'll only be on your feet."

Kind of sounds like you're telling your kids.

I've already told you this many times.

Nothing, even though Carol doesn't have a priori who acted like that.

"... I know"

Well, do I have to trust you?

"Then you follow me by land"

I said it.

Hopefully it won't be a mistake you'll regret for the rest of your life.

"Are you sure...?

"Good."

Well...... you can handle it.

"Well, it's time to go to bed"

It's time, I'm really sleepy.

"Yeah."

I dived into bed.

A soft cloth wraps around your body.

"Can I sleep with you?

Carol said.

There are naturally two beds in this room.

"... that's good"

Just think about it, I said.

Then Carol walked into bed with the sleaze.

"Hey."

After a while, I've talked to him.

Carol wasn't trying to do anything horny, but she was showing me how to stay asleep when she touched me or not.

I thought that I was too tired to sleep because I was trying to be horny today, and I almost cemented my will to stop resisting and sleep.

"... what's up"

"For my sake, I hope you don't die. Can you ask for it?"

What, that question?

Hi, I guess I was the only one thinking about porn.

"In that case, I can't talk to you about going to help you and dying because there's nothing you can do... don't go to help me from the start."

"Well, well...... Earlier, if you imagined Yuri dying for me, you'd be scared..."

What are you thinking before you go to bed?

You better think about it, though it seems to weigh your actions down.

"... I'm scared too"

"Really...?

I remember that time.

"... You didn't say anything about stardust. Starscraps were still alive when they crashed. My feathers and toes are messed up, maybe my guts are blown... I made it easier."

"Oh... did you..."

Carol told me to be thought-provoking.

Are you mourning the stardust or are you remembering the clear storm?

"So if you were... dying and I had to do the same thing, I wondered what I would do."

To put it into words, the fear came back then and I felt my spine freeze for a moment.

"... well. Me too... if that happens, it could be hard and crazy"

I guess so.

We have to make sure it doesn't happen to each other.

"Yeah."

I'm getting genuinely sleepy......

"Let's go to sleep now"

"Okay."
