Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 12: A Demon Lord, it did Exist

Passing through the gate, what I first saw was people! People!! People!!! It was a huge sea of people. It seems like they made a huge plaza here since its crowded near the gates with people coming in and out. And since its assumed that the nobles and merchants will be riding in carriages, the three roads extending from the rotary are also considerably wide.

But whats amazing isnt just that. Most of the pedestrians are humans but if you look closely theres cat-ears, dog-ears, rabbit-ears, elves, dwarfs, ah, theres even a girl with wings too. Its the worlds melting pot, kind of thing.

Haha, Motsi, or rather, most of the Kingdoms cities are all like this. People who come here for the first time are usually surprised. Amazing. Really, for this many races to be here Even from a historical standpoint, the Kingdom had many demi-humans, you see.

As he said so, Matt explained the details of the Kingdoms founding. In the beginning, the place where the Kingdom is now was originally just a settlement of various demi-humans. But at one point, it seems like there was a massive monster outbreak coming from the western side of the Kingdom. The reason for the outbreak was confirmed to be due to the Demon Lords manifestation, and the settlements were to be overrun by the swarm of monsters. That time, one man gathered the twelve tribes skilled in Magic and succeeded in defeating the Demon Lord. And so the chiefs of the twelve tribes then became the Twelve Sages, and the man who gathered them became the Kingdoms First King.

Demon Lord, it did exist, huh Incidentally, although the Demon Lord was defeated, they were unable to completely destroy it, so it was sealed in the land where it first appeared. Eh? Then doesnt that mean that eventually, the Demon Lords going to revive? Not at all. Nowadays, the Aureitas Royal Magecraft Academy was constructed on that land, and the current Twelve Sages are strictly monitoring it so that sort of thing wont happen at all.

That, wont saying that jinx it? Hmm, Im curious about the Twelve Sages strength too, but most of all, the Magecraft Academy. Its a pretty exciting phrase, isnt it? Going there eventually might be good too. Also, since theres a Demon Lord, then theres a Hero too right? Wait, doesnt that make the First King the hero? Then that makes the Kingdoms royalty descendants of the Hero, right? Well, that makes for a good fantasy too.

Hm? Magecraft Academy? Its not Magic Academy? Yes, its Magecraft Academy. Magic is a lost art now, after all. There are Magic researchers, but there isnt anyone who would teach Magic.

What!? Up until now I was just casually using Magic. And he said that its already a lost art. Rather, Magic and Magecraft are different, huh. I want to ask whats the difference, but I feel like asking more about it would be suspicious. So lets not do that.

While I was still shocked by a lot of things, it seems like weve arrived at our destination. With a large door and a wide interior, and beyond the glass is a display window where the goods are arranged. The Breut Companys main store seems obviously larger than the other stores nearby.

Master, we have just arrived. E-excuse us for intruding

Matt enters the shop with a brisk pace and behind him, I timidly follow. No, well, I mean, its a clothing store, you know!? Moreover, its for the ladies!! Though deeper inside theres some for the gentlemen, most of them are really expensive, as a former male, it made me feel a bit overwhelmed.

Then, how was it? Not a single mistake. It seems Ludgar mistook Miss Lily as a new shop assistant. Then theres no problem at all. Ludgar? Theres an armored bear at the gates, right? Hes Ludgar.

The one who answered my question was Arisa, who just arrived before us. It seems that they already have the certificate of request completion and will be going to the Adventurers Guild after this.

Didnt I tell you its fine to go ahead? Its fine. we did say that well be guiding you, right? Thats right. For us, youre our savior. And we cant leave our savior behind like that, right?

Its really embarrassing to be called that. Rather, youre not going keep saying those kinds of things from now on, are you? I shouldve le No, thats probably impossible for me. If it was the powerless me from before I died then its different, but right now I have this cheat-level power. Abandoning the people in front of me even though I have this power isnt something that I would choose to do.

Hmph~ Youre making that face again, Lily. Mgh!! S-stop it!

While I was pondering the meaning of life for some reason, Arisas poking my cheek. No, squeezing them? Was my face really that strange?

Isnt it fine not to think too much? Why is the one who saved us the one whos most worried about troubling us? In reality, we really want to thank you a lot more, Lily. Ummm No, well Thats right, if not for you then Grey wouldnt be alive right now. Yeah, thanks to you, I can once again hold Lysha in my arms. You should be proud of it.

They seem to be misunderstanding something, but the fact that they want to thank me is something I understand. Being thanked by people doesnt really feel bad. Somehow, I felt like this was the moment that decided how I live my life in this world.

I understand. Well then, Ill be counting on you guys to guide me to the guild, mkay? Yup, leave it to us. Well do our best to put a good word for you.

Saying goodbye to Mozes and his family, we left the Breut Company. Laughing together on our journey, my heart was exceedingly filled with warmth.
