A Demon Lord’s Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss - Chapter 577.1
End of Sightseeing
Night.
“Whew, I’m exhausted from climbing all the stairs. My legs are tired!” (Illuna)
“…Hmm. But it was fun. It’s great to go to different places together.” (Enne)
“Yeah! It was fun!” (Shii)
The tour was over.
After sightseeing the museum, Yuki and the group went shopping and saw souvenirs on a different street than yesterday, took a walk in a large park, and fully enjoyed the capital city.
Sitting on the terrace with a good view of the night scenery, Yuki and his group enjoyed their dinner while enjoying the beauty of the artificial light illuminated by the magic lamps, and even after finishing their meal, they did not get up from their seats.
It would only take them a moment to return home, so for now, we were all enjoying the afterglow of the trip while looking at the night view.
–Shii looked at the city.
The city was enveloped by light.
The sky was dark, but the cityscape remained bright and shimmering.
In this world, it was a beauty that could not be seen anywhere else.
But then… Shii thought…
The garden was more beautiful.
It was fantastic, and everything was so comfortable.
And he, the skeleton, was smiling.
“…” (Shii)
Shii wanted to talk more with him.
She wanted to hear more stories.
Most of all, she wanted to introduce him to her family.
When she thought about him, she couldn’t help but feel sad.
Shii tried not to think about it because it was a trip, and she didn’t want to worry everyone, but… Whenever the thought of him came back to her mind, she still felt like crying.
I will come back here again…
…without fail.
When Shii was older and could go to various places by herself, she would come back here to buy flowers to offer to him.
She would also visit this place with Sakuya when he had grown up.
Then she would tell Sakuya about the being they met and what kind of conversation they had.
If Sakuya remembered him at that time, she would be happy.
“Hey, master, can I hold Sakuya?” (Shii)
“Ah, sure.” (Yuki)
Yuki then picked up Sakuya from the stroller and handed him to Shii.
Shii accepted him carefully with both hands and stood near the railing of the terrace where she had a good view of the outside.
“Sakuya, let’s come to this city together again.” (Shii)
“Uubu, au…” (Sakuya)
Sakuya looked at Shii’s face and then at the city at night.
Shii did not know what Sakuya was thinking.
But her intuition told her that he must be… This boy must be thinking about him too.
There was no doubt in her mind that she also missed Mukuro uncle.
Yuki smiled gently and stroked Shii’s head.
Shii felt so sad that she was about to cry again, but… But she did not cry anymore.
…
After the sightseeing was over…
The rest of my family left, satisfied, but Enne and I didn’t go home yet.
I asked Enne to stay behind, but she was tired, so she was now sleeping in the item box.
“Thank you, Captain. Thanks to you, we had a good trip. It was a lot of fun.” (Yuki)
“As a native of this country, those words mean more to me than anything else. Well, I just guided you around, so I can’t really say much about how great it was.” (Captain)
I exchanged words with the captain in the lobby of the hotel where I was staying yesterday and today.
It was late and there were hardly any other guests in sight. There was even a staff member standing by.
“No, no, thanks to your various arrangements, I was able to get around smoothly, and most importantly, all the places you introduced to me were interesting. Please tell your people that we are grateful to them for escorting us. –Now then, Captain, is there anything I can do to help you?” (Yuki)
“Hmm? What’s the problem?” (Captain)
