Yomigaeri no Maou

Lesson 7: Sleeping Maiden

"... that's it,"

The work Lulu was doing in a room of ruins, reading various pieces of information that were shown on a huge screen, was completed in just a few minutes.

After Gran's departure, if you go inside the ruins, you'll see that the exterior was quite aging, but the interior is still quite splendid, or less crumbling, and the equipment is mostly alive.

The system by the Devil's proud Devil's Guidance equipment still seemed to play a part in the maintenance of this site, and that Devil's Guidance machine was also one of the terminals for the maintenance of this site as well, so Lulu was relieved to be able to send instructions from the central installations firmly in the ruins and to make them stop.

Now that I have nothing more to do in particular, I can go back to the village, but as for Lulu, I feel the desire to look into every inch of this ruin.

This central installation, which entered through the entrance to the ruins and was not so far walked down the stairs, seemed to manage the entire ruins, where a map of this ruin was also preserved.

So we also know that this place where Lulu is now is still in place, right inside the ruins, about.

In other words, this site is still in the back, where there are likely to be many ancient demon things and bumpy clues.

Because of this, I checked to see if there was anything stored in the central facility, any information after Lulu's death as Demon King, but apparently only information about this facility was stored, and even that was kept to the minimum necessary.

It's like you're trying to hide it from something.

To the point that it felt that way, this ruin had become as difficult to find as possible a variety of information.

Probably because I was lucky enough to stop the Magic Conducting Machine right away.

Nevertheless, that is why, even after the annihilation of the ancient demons by the people (humans), it is a lot more complicated as a lululu, given that this ruin may have remained for years.

As for the rock giant (Lupes gigantes) and the demon cannon bee (Canon apis), I checked to see what setting they were in as they were stopped, but the rock giant (Lupes gigantes) seemed to be instructed to repair the ground exposed portion of the aging ruins and the surrounding logic for the demon cannon bee (Canon apis) at that time.

In that case, once you discover something amazing, you can also eliminate it when you approach a certain distance.

To what extent is a constant distance, Lulu's presumption that it may differ between rock giants (Lupez Gigantes) and demon gun bees (Canon Apis) seemed roughly to hit, with demon gun bees (Canon Apis) set to be more or less alert to the distance from the ruins to Lulu's village, while rock giants (Lupez Gigantes) were supposedly up to a dozen metres from the ruins.

As for the ground exposed parts of the ruins, they are probably designed not to collapse for quite a long time due to the technical abilities of the ancient demons, but they don't seem to be okay forever.

It seems like it needs repairing once every few hundred years, and this time, it seems that Gran and Yumis have stumbled into each of those hundreds of years, unlucky or lucky enough to say.

The collapsed wall seems to have been built anew by the rock giant (Rupez Gigantes) after he finished repairing the ground exposed area, in such a way as to completely seal it from the inside when he returns to the ruins, which really seems to be just a coincidence this time.

There is a Lulu here who was once a demon king, including the bad luck of Gran and Yumis. I also feel that strong luck is almost close to a divine hangover, but by chance it might be something to say so, Lulu laughed as he waited for the Grans.

If you look at the central facility and say what else you find out, that this facility is not a base built for war with people (human beings), but some kind of preservation facility, and that its function is still alive.

Unfortunately, I don't know what's been preserved, whether the central facility itself is a glitch, or whether it was concealed from the start, but I didn't know it when I looked into it.

However, since we could clearly see which part of the site the preservation equipment was located in, beyond having a map of the site, Lulu thinks that as soon as Gran and Yumis arrive, he will decide to investigate.

If it's true, Lulu just wants to go investigate by himself, but the promise is a promise.

I know my conscience is only to blame where I broke it, and I can't be punished in any way, but Gran told me so out of good faith, and I somehow found it detracting to betray it.

So Lulu decided to wait.

Until then, Grand will send Rusty and the others to the village and bring Yumis.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Kann, Kann.

In a room filled with equipment created by the ancient demon tribe's magic guidance technology, Lulu waited for Gran to come, holding his knees and poking around.

Then I heard echoes in the ruins.

That turned out to be someone's footprint if you tried to clear your ears a lot.

And it's extremely easy to tell whose footsteps it is.

There's no way that anyone who gets here can show up early, because if that's the case, it's nothing more than the Gran that left Rusty and the others behind.

In fact, it was Gran, a formidable swordsman, who came into the room after a while.

Lulu feels a little soothing in the look of Gran pointing his luxurious smile at this one.

I am alone in this ruin, created by my former companions, and no one is anymore, because I miss them thoughtfully and it was hard.

The gran comes and in my body, I feel like the warmth is back.

Finally, there's blood on my body.

When I saw Lulu's face like that, Gran smiled a little cloudy.

"... hey, you okay?

I heard.

Lulu smiles and answers.

"I'm fine... thanks for the cold in the ruins."

Gran looks around again, told me, and then puts his body down as he notices.

"Sure don't get cold...... well, it's because it's underground. Not enough to catch a cold."

"Right.... So it's time to explore the ruins?

"Oh... it feels weird being partitioned by you, Lulu"

"Nothing's good. I'm the one who stopped the magic conductor machine... it stopped, right?

Gran nodded as if he remembered that word of Lulu, and said:

"Oh, yeah, he was. He was. All the bee-shaped magic machines that were hitting the village have stopped. Well done. He collapsed and hit the ground and broke... Yumis was about to cry a little. A precious ancient legacy! Something like that..."

Gran said that a little out of the way.

It seems to me that Yumis is grieving with exaggeration.

"A little bit broken doesn't mean it won't be useful for research."

"Well, I guess so. He wanted it to be more complete."

"I know how that feels... but there's nothing I can do about it now. If you look for the ruins, there may be similar magic guidance machines. Yeah, speaking of which, where's Yumis? Didn't you come with me?

When he heard that, Gran told him to face up and accuse him.

"Come on, you, you forgot what you did?

"Huh?"

"I hear you've got your hands on the junction you put up in the village, don't you, Yumis? You can't make a mistake. You were crying out loud. For that matter, Rusty and the others went inside."

Said, Lulu remembers.

Speaking of which, he said you did that too.

But if so, I doubt why Gran couldn't be locked up.

Surely Lulu, because Rusty, Mi, Yuri, and Gran should have set it up to be put within the conjuncture.

And I made sure no one could leave.

Yet Gran is here now.

Speaking of which, Gran said.

"Before I entered the kingdom, Hummis screamed. Don't get in the way. That was close."

"Oh... that's a simple story. So is Yumis still in the juncture? I wish I could rewrite it again."

Yes, Lulu crushes.

Then Gran shook his head,

"You, easily say a rewrite of the surgery or something, you know how hard that is? It would be useless if the magician had rewritten the procedure to someone who was so powerful. It'll take at least a few dozen minutes to rewrite the magician's manners on one end."

"I think that a few dozen minutes have passed."

"Yumis' ritual is original to him. Yumis said it was hard to rewrite originally, and after being overridden with even more advanced surgical formulas, I didn't know how I could rewrite it. I know it's only common for me to talk about sorcerers, but Yumis is the best sorcerer in the world, right? Take that..."

The tight junction of humis was quite advanced, so as a lulu, I thought it would be something I could do if I took some time to rewrite the procedure, but it doesn't seem that simple.

That kind of technology may have been lost after thousands of years.

I also felt understandable that the rewriting of the procedure would happen because it was just a technique that would require a slightly different way of thinking than using witchcraft.

"As for Yumis, you can break the line when you get back. Gran, what are you standing here for? Talk can be done while walking. Time to move on."

To Lulu, who said so, Gran leaned his neck and expressed his doubts.

"... I don't know. Are you sure you're seven? It makes me feel like I'm talking to older people."

In fact, adding to my age when I was the Demon King, I'm pretty sure Lulu is older, so the feeling would be right.

But in reality, Lulu is only seven years old.

What a magnificent mouth listening kid, I may have felt.

For that reason, Lulu honestly apologized.

"Really? That was bad. I'll be careful."

But even the apology sounded strange.

Gran looked further, but said, looking like he'd given up.

"... so... well, fine. Let's go."

So Lulu and Gran walked out.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

It's not surprisingly dark in the ruins, and the air doesn't feel very damp.

The ceiling of the ruins was softly luminescent in itself, nor did it mean that underfoot was uncomfortable.

Gran gives an exclamation as he looks at the equipment of those ruins.

"That's amazing... I know how Yumis feels about the ruins."

"What does that mean?

"This... I don't know what it is. The lights do, too, but the Magic Conducting Machine will take care of the security, and there seems to be a lot more. With all this technology, if you can analyze it, life is going to be quite convenient."

"Is this not in a big city or something?

Lulu had barely left the village and had been there, at best, about the next town, and had never set foot in the big capital yet.

Because of this, I didn't really understand the level of technology in the heart of such a culture, so I asked Gran to know.

"Well... there isn't, but it's going to be hard to secure a number that can be placed across these buildings. Besides, the magic I use isn't half as good as it is, so I can't stand prolonged use. But that doesn't seem to be the case in this ruin. Anyway, it's been at least a few thousand years. Yet it's still running... I don't know how it works, but I guess it's a pretty awesome tool..."

From the words, Lulu speculates that only fairly primitive magic fixtures are out in this era.

Patrick, my father, owned some magic equipment, and I knew from my father's story that there were a certain number of such things in the King's capital, but he didn't produce the kind of mass production that would go to the general public without a shortage?

It was stated in the book I have at my parents' house that some magic guidance machines can be reproduced in part, but I guess they are really part of it and rarely go out.

I'm not saying that all of the magic guiding machines are superior to magic implements, but it's still clear from the lights on this ruin that there are many very useful ones.

Fuel consumption is also different, so it would be more convenient for a magic conductor machine to try to get it to go out in large quantities in general.

As for Lulu, one day, I was going to make a piece of the magic guidance machine and let it go out into the world, but at this rate, it's going to create trouble if I do that.

Father, and you can't judge everything just by the story from Gran, but maybe it's something you should stop.

In the ruins aisle, several demon-conducting machines were also in operation, but they never attacked Lulu and Gran.

Because Lulu messed with that setting when he touched the central facility.

I am completely indifferent to the Lulu's because I assign that function solely to the maintenance of the site equipment, so I am just walking around.

Gran seems very unfamiliar with the way it is, putting up a great sword every time the Magic Instruction Machine passes by and being vigilant, but Lulu pulls out his shoulder strength and goes a long way.

Staring at Lulu like that, Gran said.

"... I don't know if you have the guts or the recklessness"

Neither, Lulu just knows.

The Magic Conducting Machine works exactly as it is set to.

And now, that setting is not going to strike people.

So the Lulu and the others are safe.

That's all we're talking about.

But you can't explain that, and you won't understand.

Lulu, knowing that, smiled without answering anything and went further into the ruins.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Is this going to be the deepest part?

Going down the main road of the ruins, Gran stopped to ask that question.

In front of him, a huge double-open door sits, intimidating looking down at Lulu and Gran.

Is the material metal?

If you say that the colour of degradation is not visible in the rugged silver doors and that you have endured quite a few years in that condition, then you can say that the durability is probably very high.

Gran was touching and pushing the door to find out if it would open, but he shook his head like he'd given up after a while and looked back at Lulu and said.

"No, he won't open it."

"It can't be open because it's a door..."

Yes, Lulu said, Gran said after a little thought.

"I'm talking about Yumis, but there aren't many ruin doors that won't open unless some kind of condition is met. I guess this is that type of thing too... if I don't manipulate it from that messy room you were in, it's gonna have to open or something? … go back."

That was a suggestion.

Sure, there's no chance I can open it if I go back.

But from what Lulu had just looked into, such a feature was not in that central facility.

But I'm not even going to say that because I'm not going to go into too much detail because I'm telling Gran I messed with him appropriately.

It just so happens, that's what the magic machine stopped talking about.

So I said, thinking about talking to fit that muscle.

"No, it would be troublesome to get here and back. That doesn't mean I can open it because I'm back. Why don't we do some more research?"

Gran, who gave a little thought to Lulu's suggestion, says with a face as if he'd come up with it all the time.

"That's true too...... do you want to hang up?

Even if I didn't say eye to eye, scales, I also thought that Lulu might be the most likely and easy means.

Besides, when it's no good, it's no good.

"... that might be good too. Gran. Try me."

"Ouch."

That's what I'm saying, Grand putting up a great sword and practicing magic.

I'll start waving the sword decently, but I'm still pretty powerful as to whether the figure is a first-rate adventurer.

This could cut that door, too, to the point where it makes me think.

"Wow!!!

That's how Gran ran out, waving his sword down in temper.

The great sword did turn to the door, and let his body touch the door.

However,

No! No!

and is started scattering sparks along with the touch sound of metal and metal.

"... no"

So, disappointing Gran.

Wherever the sword touched,

"... I'm not sure I'm going to carve one scratch..."

and so on.

I know it was a medium blow from Lulu's eyes, but it would be called a door-endurance victory.

Perhaps that was created using the finest technology even by the Demons.

The only way to do this is to try the positive-attack method, but you can't go back to the central facility.

What's the matter......

Lulu approaches the door and tries to touch its silver edge.

Then strangely, I heard voices from somewhere.

In the past, it was commonly used in magic conductor machines, artificial audio.

One of them sounds a little plundered.

"... wave of demons... force confirmation... search... 100th... king... matching lulusuria-nord... authority... first... unlock (lock) of great... faint?

There is a mixture of Zaza, and noise, many parts of which are not audible, but a mixture of words which cannot be ignored.

But what should be the problem now is not there.

It sounded like Gran, too.

"... you're telling me you'll open it?

and crushed looking at the ceiling.

I'm not hearing that voice from the ceiling, but I guess I kind of looked at the ceiling because I don't know where it's coming from.

Gran's right, artificial audio, he's probably asking if he'll open the door.

Besides, he called his name as Lulu's demon king.

Recognize Lulu as the Demon King himself.

I didn't even think what it meant to be a people (human) now, but I switched that what I should do now would be to answer this voice, and Lulu screams.

"Open it!

They're asking me if I can open it, so that should be a good word.

They confirmed Lulu's voice, and the artificial voice,

"... Roger..."

I just said one word.

And from the door in front of me, it sounds like the lock will open, and then the door will open, even though I have not even touched my hand.

As Gran and Lulu stared at the scene for a while with surprise, the door seemed to open to the end, but the sound of cancer sounded and stopped the movement.

"... it looks like the door's opened, inside, come in"

When Lulu says so, he answers with a nod, as Gran once said.

"Ooh... but this ruin really surprises me so many times..."

That's how they once walked into the door.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The interior of the door was quite wide open.

The hemispherically shaped ceiling supported the entire room.

It has a somewhat harsh atmosphere, and I feel like it's full of silence.

And a cylindrical container made of transparent material was installed in the center of such a room.

By and large, is it about the size of one person?

Seeing it, Lulu quickly understood what it was.

That's a capsule.

It was once made for long term sleep by the Demons.

However, at the time of Lulu's death, there should have been no prospect of practical application, but that was now in front of Lulu.

Is someone in there?

Do the Demons still sleep there after these thousands of years, once Lulu's companions?

With that in mind, Lulu, who remembers his thirst for an intense companion, approaches the capsule with his feet about to snap in advance.

I even felt that if I wasn't there, something would break.

So, please, someone stay there.

Please.

Lulu thought so.

And Lulu stared inside the capsule ready.

- Then, in it, a girl was asleep quietly.
