Chapter 53: Such a Master and Servant

"Let's go to my house first, standing here won't solve anything.

It's not your house, Uther, the smell of mutton is too strong. ”

Looking at the half-sheep man who stepped out directly, Uther grabbed him.

"These four months have been such a hassle..."

Elle tore off the noose around her neck, and then broke the chain with brute force, but the shackles were still on her ankles.

"For the sake of camouflage, we can't help it.

But now that it's time to worry about that...

Yes! I'm sorry! ”

Rei also reverted to the form of a demon, and just used her sharp legs to open the shackles like cutting tofu, but accidentally cut a deep mark on Erlie's legs.

There was no key to the chain, and in the end they came up with a solution to weld the anklets together with a fire, and wait until they got here.

"It's okay, but your legs are really lethal."

She just gently wiped the blood from her foot and neck, and the wound looked like it was about to heal, but the blood on her hand made Ellie's hand feel sticky, so she wiped her hand on her clothes.

"I'm a fighter in the Demon Realm, so there's no way around it."

"Specific things, you will talk about them when you get to my house, I don't think you like these clothes very much."

The werewolf said to the two men, and Uther sat on his shoulder like a towel as if he had fainted.

"Now I can't run that fast, it's a lot of trouble in the city.

But mercy sat on my shoulder... Erlie, you come to me, at least it's more comfortable than being caught in my hands. ”

"I'm afraid of falling into your hands now, werewolf Lolita..."

Neither Ross nor Ren understood, but they also roughly understood that this was some of Rose's personal hobbies. The latter didn't say anything, then crouched down and let Erri ride on the werewolf's head herself.

……

"It's a little similar to what I imagined..."

At night, Allie stood in front of the window wearing only a white shirt.

This small wooden building is not big, but it is also relatively close to the palace surroundings, which may be a recognition of some kind of identity, so that the people of the demon world will live near the palace.

The house has three floors. The first floor was decorated like a hunter's house, with all sorts of animal skins and weapons seen and unseen, and a faint, but pleasant, smell of wood and must. The stove standing by the wall and the elaborate fire pit surrounded by stone are on this level, so it is more like a kitchen, a living room, and a shop.

The second floor is where the guests live. This floor is basically empty except for the guests, so most of the things have accumulated dust, and they have cleaned it when they come in. There were four rooms inside, but only a bed, a table, a chair, and a magic lamp that had not been used for a long time.

The third floor is where Ross himself lives. However, Elle did not go up to see it, because she was busy taking a shower.

The bathroom was in the cellar underground, and I don't know where I got the water, but I could see that the pool was kept full. According to Rose, it has never changed its water, but it is fresh every day.

But other than that, there is steam and ordinary marble floors, nothing special.

The city of the Demon Realm, or the city that formed around the palace, seems to have been planned by someone. The entire center of the city is the palace of the Lord of the Demon Realm, and more than a dozen radial streets spread out directly from the square around the palace.

Other urban areas are scattered along the roads, but before the urban areas are well-developed public facilities, such as gardens, squares, patrol stations, hospitals, etc., and even these things appear before the city expands.

Moreover, the design is clearly out of step with the current era, especially in the newly expanded city, which can be clearly felt by Erlie, which is more like Renaissance architecture, perfectly proportioned and full of artistic sense.

"Isn't it where the Renaissance design was inspired?

However, this kind of planning is also relatively advanced in this era. ”

She touched her left wrist and looked out the window at the sky.

The Demon Realm can't see the sky, and she asks Uther this question, and the latter tells her that the day and night here are simulated by the gods.

Therefore, countless stars appeared in the night sky, and even huge planets hung in the sky, shining brightly.

The brightness of the night is not the kind of direct during the day, but the softness of the moonlight, although there are so many more stars in the sky, but the people on the earth have never felt dazzling, but a kind of enjoyment.

Then the moonlight, listening to the soft sound, it is easy to fall asleep.

"Just, how are you doing now?"

In the moonlight, Erli just looked at the sky faintly, and the slender body in her clothes shone brightly, looming.

"Purple, Sister Youxiang, stable, Yan, are you all okay?

Is that......... Butterfly? ”

A silver-colored butterfly flew up to the window, and although she couldn't see its eyes, she could still feel it looking at her.

"Strange little guy?"

She put her finger on it, and the butterfly climbed up to her finger and shook its wings slightly.

“… Do you have anything to do with me? ”

Erli knows that her affinity for nature is definitely not strong, and it can be said that she is not even as good as Purple. Their own murderous nature is too strong, and not many animals are willing to take the initiative to approach them

So, this butterfly must have something to say, otherwise it came to her specifically to stop here, so why would it pick its own window?

“……”

It just flicked its wings a few times, and then it looked at Ellie's face.

"Strange?"

She couldn't figure it out, why was this demon world life looking for herself? So Ellie prepared to open the window wider, so that it would be easier for it to go out later.

It's just that as soon as her hand touched the edge of the window, she felt that she had touched something soft.

What is it?

"Ahhh

I pinched it with my hand, and it felt quite soft.

But what's going on with this voice?

She turned her head and saw that her hand was pinching the delicate face of a young girl, and she was looking at her with a blank eye.

The girl's hands hung in the air by the window, and the most striking thing was a long strand of silver hair floating on the left side of her hair.

“……”

“……”

The master of the Demon Realm was now hanging outside Ellie's window, and the two looked at each other.

But when the butterfly saw Shenqi, she immediately got down from Erli's hand and flew to Shenqi's head.

“… Are you coming in? ”

It's also a problem if it's so stiff, so it's better to let her come in first. Thinking of this, Ellie let go of her hand and opened the window a little more.

"Okay..."

Shenqi obediently flew in, and as soon as she landed, she looked straight at Erli.

"I don't know you, I know every demon world, but I don't remember you at all.

Are you that strange demon that Uther mentioned when she came to me at night? ”

Erli sat directly on the edge of the bed, looked at the hesitant Shenqi standing by the window, and replied softly.

"Yes."

"But... I don't remember ever creating your sweet child? ”

Shenqi's dull hair trembled, and after some strange connection, they began to think together.

She had already guessed the identity of the person in front of her, but now she had to pretend not to know, lest Shenqi dispose of herself on a whim.

“… In other words, are you my mother? ”

"Yes......

Huh? Mother? ”

This title made Shenqi stunned herself, someone called her that, because she created all the demon realm life, and as the mother of everyone, there was no problem.

She herself has no objection to this title, but on formal occasions, or in front of the gods, no one will call her.

But today, I was suddenly called my mother, but it was a shock that I had never felt before.

This feels... Good... It's so delicate, I really want to hold this child who I don't know when it was created?

And, why does it feel like she's a little kinder than anyone before?

"Mother~!"

Erli directly opened her hands and looked at Shenqi excitedly, in Shenqi's eyes, she even flashed and lost for a long time, and finally found her mother's tears.

Maybe... Is it your own child?

However, without mentioning any of this, Shenqi hugged Erli directly, and the feeling in her heart was greatly satisfied. But at the same time, she felt the magic of this little child.

It's the same magic as himself, pure magic, not mixed with anything, so this kid doesn't look like he's disguised as a demon.

And most importantly... It feels so good to hold her!

It's really like I've just created my own daughter, and I don't want to let go when I hug it.

"It's Mom~

Good ~~~Good ~~~"

"Mother~"

Erli deliberately rubbed in her arms, which made Shenqi's heart more comfortable. The latter gently patted Erlie's back, and the other hand gently stroked her forehead.

It's just that Erli, who is happy on the surface, is already churning in her heart to the point that she can't toss anymore.

I didn't expect to throw it away without hesitation...

… Mother... It's disgusting, self...

... Straight here to pick up a cheap mom...

… Why does it suddenly seem to die...

"Lord Shenqi...... What's going on? ”

Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the window, which directly made Shenqi's body tremble.

A blonde maid stood outside the window, dressed in a red and white maid outfit with a white maid hair ornament, staring at the two with a majesty that Shenqi might never have used.

"Yumeko... This one... That..."

Shenqi panicked directly, and explained with his teeth and claws. But Yumeko kept staring at Erli in her arms, thinking that she never seemed to have seen her.

Perhaps, it's the life created by the willfulness of Lord Shenqi.

But this is not the main thing now, but what Shenqi-sama does.

"You're trying to say that you noticed the butterfly flying out and I wasn't there.

So, you ignored the rules I had set, bypassed all the guards, and ran out in the middle of the night.

Well, I think you also know: after you ran out, everyone kept martial law, and the main people on duty were scolded by me, and I will never let them come back until I find you. ”

"Aha...... Don't talk about that, Yumeko.

You see, I picked up Xiaoyin, and I also found my daughter. ”

“…… Miss? ”

Yumeko froze for a moment, but right away, she bowed to Ellie.

Naturally, there is a reason why Shenqi-sama created life, and although it seems strange many times, in fact, Shenqi-sama has given life freedom to all people in the Demon Realm.

For the matter of his daughter, Lord Shenqi will not do it blindly.

The loyal and powerful maid thinks so of her master, who is actually great but without majesty.
