Traveling through time? You can reach another world as soon as you leave your house

But, I don't know why...

The princess was supposedly captured by the Demon King, but she didn't seem to have any intention of escaping from the Demon King's castle.

He doesn't understand!

"No, there hasn't been any new bedding around the Demon King's Castle recently, so why should I go out?"

Qi Ye spoke in a soft voice, giving reasons that normal people couldn't understand, while trying to push Arakif back into the book.

"Pillow, I want to sleep too. Can't you give me a 'sleep magic' that works on me too? Even the Demon King has fallen for it."

"Uh, Princess, my name is not pillow. And please stop pressing my head. I'll get stuck if you do that!"

Arakif seemed to be bullied, struggling without tears.

"Besides, if the 'Sleep Magic' can also affect the caster, then what's the point? If that's the case, it won't be considered forbidden magic, but just a joke magic!"

"This is not a joke, sleep is a serious matter!"

Qi Ye, who had no intention of reasoning at all, had already started to force the magic book closed.

Because she always felt that it looked a bit weird if a person grew out of a book.

"Wow, Princess, please stop being so unreasonable. I've been sealed for hundreds of years. Just let me take a break QAQ."

Arakif, who was obviously a very noble and great man, was now being bullied to the point of crying by the hostage princess.

Please, this is a forbidden magic book, the highest crystallization of human wisdom. According to common sense, it should be carefully protected no matter where it is, right?

But Qiye, who goes his own way, doesn't care about this.

She just treated this magic book that she found by chance as a strange multifunctional pillow.

The final compromise was that Arakif just poked his little head out of the book, holding the edge of the book with his two little hands. He looked like a groundhog peeking out, which was unexpectedly cute.

"Well, that's more like it."

Qi Ye nodded as if to compromise, then asked softly.

"Since sleeping magic doesn't work, do you have a magic that can make the room cooler? Otherwise, it's too hot and I can't sleep."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her fair forehead with the back of her hand.

Previously, when she was in the sealed room of the underground library, she found that she was the only one still awake in the entire Demon King's Castle. She felt it was unfair, so she dug out a bunch of super precious magic books and used them as mattresses, wanting to sleep with them too.

But since it was summer, the room was unexpectedly hot and stuffy, so I ended up not being able to fall asleep and had to wander around outside.

Really, a place like the Demon King's Castle is always in darkness, so why is it so hot?

Qi Ye couldn't understand this, nor was he too lazy to understand it.

All she wants now is a solution and a good night's sleep!

after all......

According to Arakif, this sleeping magic seems to last for three whole days. It would be too lonely if I were the only one awake during this period.

She didn't want that.

"Um, Princess, I have a forbidden magic book. If it's freezing magic, I only have the kind that can bring about the Ice Age, right?"

Arakif said in a weak voice.

"And after using the large-scale sleep magic, your mana has been depleted, and you can't use magic for the time being, so even if I had it, you wouldn't be able to do anything... Huh?"

Arakif was suddenly stunned when he was halfway through his words.

Because he seemed dazzled?

Surprisingly, in this dangerous Demon Castle, I saw a strange human in pajamas squatting next to the Demon King who was also sleeping and collapsed on the side of the road. He kept poking the other person with his fingers with a strange look in his eyes.

Arakif: “???”

What the hell is going on?

The amount of incomprehensible knowledge has increased again!

Unlike the forbidden magic book, which seemed to be temporarily in a state of chaos.

The princess, who was a hostage, suddenly had a dangerous look in her eyes for some reason, and even silently took out a pair of huge sharp scissors with a handle nearly as tall as a person, which was quite inconsistent with her status as a hostage.

Then, she stared at the devil bear that was "captured" in the arms of the strange man.

He started to walk towards the other person quietly and slowly.

Volume 27: Chapter : The Demon King Falls on the Roadside

Ten minutes ago.

Demon King's Castle, Princess's Cell.

A door leading to another world appeared out of nowhere, and then a man in dark blue pajamas tiptoed out from it.

He looked around for a while, and after confirming that there was no one nearby, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the door behind him slowly disappeared.

"Huh~ I took a walk before bed and ended up in another world. You really are my OVO."

Lu Ren touched his chin in self-mockery, and at the same time, a layer of crystalline golden light Qi was attached to the surface of his body under his pajamas.

After all, this isn’t the low-level Demon Slayer, this is the legendary Demon King’s Castle!

There are BOSS-level monsters everywhere that can easily destroy the legion and cause natural disasters, so for safety reasons, it is best to equip yourself with some defensive measures at the very beginning.

As for why he came to this world for a walk?

Because there was nothing good to do in Demon Slayer, and I didn’t want to disturb Milim at That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime late at night.

Therefore, the remaining World No. 1 is the natural choice.

He was also really curious about what the Demon King's Castle would be like. In addition, according to the original work, the monsters here were not actually very hostile to humans. Even if they captured prisoners, they would at most lock them up and would not kill or torture them.

So, since he had nothing to do, he came over for a stroll.

"By the way, is it my illusion? It feels so quiet around here, as if there are not many people around."

Lu Ren moved his ears slightly, but his extraordinary hearing could only vaguely detect some light snoring, which made him look puzzled.

Is it because it's night time, so all the monsters are asleep?

But the Demon King's Castle seems to be always in darkness.

"Speaking of which, this seems to be the princess's cell, right? I remember that when I opened the door last time, I seemed to have caught a glimpse of a silver-haired girl sleeping..."

Lu Ren murmured uncertainly, while also looking around the room -

Bright chandeliers, iron pipes for delivering hot water, spacious windows with iron bars, partitions that looked like they were made from treasure chest lids, exquisite dressing tables, wooden barrels that served as bedside tables, and beds for sleeping that were inexplicably high-end.

It looked more like a well-decorated bedroom than a prison cell.

I just don’t know why there are coffins piled up in the corners of the room, why there are so many “rags” in a wooden basin, and why there are a little too many pillows on the bed?

"...This feels like a strange place, but the princess doesn't seem to be here?"

Looking at the pot of "rag" that seemed to be full of resentment, Lu Ren subconsciously took a step back, and then seemed to accidentally step on something.

"Hey, what is this?"

He looked back and found that he had stepped on a strange pillow.

Although it feels soft, it has many holes, and there are some jelly-like objects squeezed out of it that are constantly and slightly wriggling, which looks very strange.

This made Lu Ren hesitate slightly, then he picked it up out of curiosity, consumed his energy, and tried to analyze and identify it.

As a result, he received some information that made him speechless.

"Failed Slime Pillow"

"Reason for failure: It will revive and move again soon"

Looking at this somewhat terrifying information, Lu Ren silently put down his pillow and planned to pretend that he didn't see it.

But suddenly, I discovered another indescribable thing.

"Failed Work: Balloon Piranha Pillow"

"Reason for failure: stench"

"......Alas."

Looking at the piranha at my feet, which seems to have died with its eyes open and is inflated like a balloon and as big as a pillow.

Lu Ren covered his nose expressionlessly, and immediately kicked the broken thing away in disgust.

Then, the unexpected happened.

The wet balloon piranha pillow drew a perfect parabola in the air and landed on another seemingly unremarkable pillow, splashing some liquid.

The result, the next moment.

Dozens of vines instantly broke through the pillow, grew out rapidly and madly, and instinctively preyed on the surrounding living things.

"What the hell?!"

Lu Ren was startled and subconsciously shaped the golden light in his hand into a sharp blade. After cutting off several vines that were stabbing at him, he immediately jumped back, wanting to leave this dangerous room first.

As for the cell door?

It was open from the beginning. It was probably because the princess, who was taken hostage a long time ago, took the key and went out by herself.

But then again, a room whose door key is in the hostage's hands is not a prison cell at all!

Lu Ren, who jumped out of the cell in a few steps, couldn't help but complain in his heart.

And just then.

A cute voice suddenly came into his ears.

"Hmm, Hmm~"

In the corner of the cell.

A cute monster that looks like a brown teddy bear doll with a small pair of devil bat wings on its back is curled up there and sleeping soundly, making cute sounds in its sleep from time to time.

Moreover, it didn't notice at all that the sound it made attracted the attention of those strange vines, which started to prey on it.

However, just before the vines bound the demon bear, a whip made of golden light pulled it out of the cell in time.

Then, she was hugged by a man in pajamas.

"...Uh, I just did it subconsciously."

Lu Ren was stunned for a moment because of his previous actions.

However, when he looked down at the cute furry little creature in his arms and the silky touch of his palm, he felt lucky that he had acted in time.

"This should be the 'Devil Bear' from the original book, right? I didn't expect it to look so cute in real life. No wonder the princess likes these little guys so much."

Lu Ren rubbed the devil bear in his arms with interest.

Then he tried to analyze the strange vines in the cell that had become motionless.

"Failed Work: Magic Bean Pillow"

"Reason for failure: It will sprout and grow wildly when exposed to water"

"...slipped away."

The corner of Lu Ren's mouth twitched slightly, and he had no intention of approaching this dangerous room again in the short term.

So, he chose to turn around and leave, wanting to take a good look around this Demon King's city first.

Although this behavior may sound dangerous, it is not.

Because he had just discovered that the monsters that were originally stationed near the cell had all fallen into a deep sleep for some unknown reason.

And judging from the looks of it, as long as you don't attack them, even if you draw a turtle on their face, it won't wake them up.

This also means that Lu Ren, as an outsider, can now wander around the most dangerous Demon King's City in the world without restraint.

So, after passing by the two-headed dragon, the flaming guillotine, the killing clown and other monsters that looked very dangerous at first glance, Lu Ren kept looking left and right and observing his surroundings curiously, and then came to the stone bridge built on the lava.

"Oh, this is the lava, right? This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. It really broadens my horizons."

Holding the little devil bear in his arms, looking down at the molten flowing rocks under the bridge, and feeling the burning breath blowing on his face, Lu Ren couldn't help but reveal an expression of inexplicable excitement.
