Chapter 259: The Prologue of the Times
"Whew...... It's finally here. ”
"So, let's leave first, Yumeko-sama. When Lord Shenqi summoned us before, they all put down what we were supposed to do, and now, we should finish them. ”
Mass gestured slightly to Yumeko, who nodded, and without saying anything more, let the demons leave Elri's group.
The journey from Persia to Egypt was not so difficult, and with the help of the demons who could be called elites, and the peculiar desert wolves, they easily made their way out of the Persian Empire and ran across the land of the Arabs.
The troops that pursued them were far behind the wolves, and the desert wolves, which ran fast and had good fighting power, if they could be tamed by humans, would be as weak as a child on a pony to any cavalry.
There was almost no obstacle to the peninsula except for the horses and robbers, and even Allie herself had a little time to go to the nomadic tribe of Arabs on the shores of the Red Sea.
However, she did not see the man who had a clear leadership temperament before, and according to the people of the tribe, he took some men with him and went into business.
"Please tell him that Nasuir did not hold out with me to the end, but that he was a loyal and brave companion.
I thank you for being such a brave man. ”
These were the words that Ellie had left for them, and although there were some gods, they were willing to convey them to him, as if the man had great prestige.
As for the old god in the dream, it doesn't seem to have any valid information, except that when he entered, he was played with as a pillow until he woke up, but he saw some inexplicable fish-man pictures, but Erli didn't really understand it.
In short, Ellie sensed that Cthulhu loved her, but ...... The method is very has... Well... Explosiveness.
"So, what about after us, Yumeko-sama?"
Uther looked at his arm, anyway, this injury will be healed sooner or later, as for when, he is not so worried when he arrives in the demon world.
"You go back first, but remember to write a report and come up before sunset the next day.
As for Uther, wait for my news, and then Shenqi-sama should take care of it.
"Okay."
He nodded, and then said goodbye to the remaining three, but they would soon see each other, so after just a few casual words, the four of them also dispersed.
But before leaving, they all greeted Ellie, at least the journey has experienced something, and their relationship is not so rusty.
"Come with me, then, Miss.
Mi-sama has been waiting for you. ”
"Okay, Sister Mengzi."
"Miss, it's a dream."
Trying to correct herself, she led Erlie towards the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
……
……
……
"Tsk...... It should be right now.,Why didn't Mengzi and Xiaoai contact me?
Did something happen along the way? No, unless it's a human god who appears, Yumeko can definitely deal with it.
Or has the entrance to the Demon Realm changed again? I don't remember changing these things......
What about Xiao Ai's body..."
Sitting on top of the main hall, Shenqi biting her nails, kept saying in pieces, as if she would continue like this until these two people didn't come back.
The servants below thought so, for they were all hiding in the corners, watching the gods on the throne.
"How long has Mistress Shenqi been like this?"
A maid whispered.
"It should ...... It's been almost a day, right? ”
The other replied quietly, but quieter than before.
"It's morning...... Didn't Mi-sama Shenqi sleep? ”
The first one covered his mouth slightly, as if he was afraid that he would make a louder noise.
"Yes... Mi-sama Shenqi has been sitting on it. ”
The other maid, who was still standing in good shape, for she was in charge of the might requirements of the gods, shuffled her heavy eyelids, looked in the direction of the throne, and spoke, her voice tinged with a hint of tiredness.
"Great work......"
"Great work......"
The first two people spoke, but at this moment, the door of the main hall was slowly pushed open.
To be precise, it looked like someone was slowly pushing it open, because the steel door as thick as the city wall was very easy for some demons, but the posture was naturally more ugly.
And neither Erli nor Yumeko looked like they had reached out their hands, or rather, Erri just stretched out her hands, as if she was about to knock on the door, and saw the door slowly open on its own.
"Well, then, I want to take my leave, Miss.
I reckon that Mi-sama will probably do something, so, in order not to make you feel ...... Well, you understand that I need to do some work as a head maid. ”
Yumeko, who was behind Erri, lowered her body, then turned around and left the main hall, and Erri did not look back, but ran briskly in the direction of the main hall.
"Yikes!"
"Wow!"
However, just as the three maids were looking in the direction of the main hall, Yumeko coldly grabbed the two maids who had been peeking, and then stared at the maid who was in charge of standing guard and said.
"It's been a great job, Hoshina, go and rest.
No one is allowed to show up here without an order from me and Mistress Shenqi, understand? ”
“…… Got it. ”
For Yumeko's unsuspecting appearance, some of the maids are used to it, and some are not, but it just so happens that Hoshina is used to it, and the maid who looks like two chickens in her hand doesn't.
Then, the four of them left the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, and Mengzi naturally wanted to come back, because Lord Shenqi would need his own assistance at any time, but leaving free time for his master and eldest lady was naturally the right choice.
For example, right now, in a sense, she understands how embarrassing her master can be, so that's why she keeps everyone out.
The moment Shenqi saw Erli, her hands bounced out directly from the throne, and even she subconsciously wanted to use magic to let herself fly in front of Erlie, but because of the stairs at the foot of the throne, she almost stumbled and fell directly to the ground.
But it was just a little bit, and soon, she came down the thirteen steps, and then rushed to Erli without saying a word, and hugged the other directly.
"Mmmm————!!!mmmm
Although she probably guessed what Shenqi would do, Erli didn't expect that she would behave so strongly, her head was buried directly in Shenqi's chest, and the strange thing was that she was actually breathing very smoothly, and although the force in her hand was large, it didn't make Erli feel pain.
"Wow——————!!"
But listening to the voice, it felt like Shenqi was crying, not harsh, not so sad, just an emotional catharsis.
"Little love... Mother... Mommy misses you so much!!!!!
Do you know... Ever since the letter came out from your side, Mom hasn't worried about your life! When you were in Persia, you were almost cornered by those pesky humans... By the way, now let Mom see if you are hurt?
And how is the body now? How much does the absence of the soul affect you? Did the humans of Persia burn you......"
The chattering Shenqi has not let go of Erli in her arms, of course, after Mengzi came over to "support" Erli, she finally let the half-hour "parent-child communication" time pass
