Chapter 596.1

A Demon Lord’s Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss

Velmore Forest Ruins (4)

We were fascinated by the scenery around us for a while, and after that, the Sheep Horn Clan members looked very curious about what was to come, but since quite a bit of time had passed, we decided to call it a day for today’s investigation.

Sheep Horn Clan members kept asking with smiles, “How about we start investigating early tomorrow?”

I replied with a wry smile, “I’ll join as early as I can. However, it depends on Sakuya’s mood, so please bear with me on that point,” and we returned to our tent.

Layla was also incredibly excited, and overwhelmed with excitement, she was now clutching my arm tightly and looking a bit fidgety, which made me feel nice.

However, even in that state, her ability to take care of Sakuya perfectly was what made her Layla.

“Yuki-san, those ruins are an enormous discovery! Just the fact that Sakuya helped discover those ruins will be enough to make his name go down in history!” (Layla)

Layla pressed her voluptuous breasts against my arm and hugged me.

It felt great.

“Haha, I see. Good for you, Sakuya. Your name will now be engraved in this world’s history, won’t it?” (Yuki)

“…Well, as expected of Sakuya. Your radar was blazing.” (Enne)

Enne said, gently patting Sakuya, who was already asleep.

“No, seriously. I really didn’t expect such a strong reaction from him.” (Yuki)

I had brought Sakuya all the way here because I thought there would be some kind of reaction, but I honestly didn’t expect it to be this bad.

Shii must have been very surprised when she first encountered such a situation.

“Sakuya, your mother is pleased. Thanks to you, all of our family members are at the peak of happiness.” (Layla)

Layla, who had been clinging to me, then knelt in front of Sakuya’s bed and lightly kissed her son’s forehead.

Yes, it seemed like she was still a little excited. It was really rare for Layla to do something like this.

That was just how Layla was, I was sure that other Sheep Horn Clan members were also excitedly compiling records in their tents.

It was not like they were excited and having a toast because of the discovery, but they were instead excited because they wanted to be the first to make a recording of this discovery! That’s the Sheep Horn Clan for you.

Well, if I was able to help them, I was happy as well.

It was my wife’s family home, so I wanted to get along with them if possible.

◇◇◇

The next day.

I woke up early in the morning, and when Sakuya woke up and was full of energy, we went into the ruins again.

Following the same path as yesterday, we arrived at the underworld, and started walking towards the castle we had seen.

However, my pace was much slower than yesterday.

Since these ruins seemed to be still operating, then it was possible that some sort of defense system was also in operation. Sheep Horn Clan members also shared my opinion.

Also, the words “defense system,” made me remember something else.

The enemy with many arms that shot beams, like the ones guarding the Ancient Ruins in the Demon Forest – the [Ancient Golem].

Or rather, the Asura Golem. A golem that would definitely kill any intruder.

It was not far-fetched to say that there would be something similar here.

That thing was dangerous, if even one of them appeared here, there would be a very high chance that this research team would be annihilated.

When I faced that Asura Golem last time with my team, we gave up on defeating it head on and came up with a plan to somehow avoid it.
