Evil God Chapter 14

“This place is suspicious.”

Yufilia focuses on the intersection in the first floor basement.

“Ah, let's go there first.”

I nodded, and move towards the location.

However, I couldn't find the entrance.

“Is it really just a dead space?”

Yufilia thinks with her hand touching her chin.

I freely search, checking every corner looking for strange places.

Because I stopped using my head, I’m free for the time everyone else is thinking.

“That’s fine. If you can break the wall with that ax, that is.”

Tiraiza teases Jamie.

“OKAY. I’ll try doing it. My ax has amazing destructive power!”

Jamie bites the provocation. She focuses, and gets fired up.

*Gakin!* The ax slams against the wall! With that sound, the blade is broken off of Jamie’s ax.

“Eeeeeeee!”

Jamie raises a miserable voice.

The strengthening magic must have also have been casted by magicians much stronger than Tiraiza.

Repairing the ax is Tiraiza’s job. However, she provoked her, so it’s her own fault.

“What should we do about this?”

Iris makes a troubled face.

“If we use Yufilia uses her divine sword, couldn’t she break it?”

I look at Yufilia.

However, when I look closely, I see that today she had brought a different sword.

“Ah, I didn’t bring it with me today. Rather, that belongs to the royal family, so I can’t bring it out without permission.”

Defeating the Maou. Or visiting the Dark Temple, which houses the Evil God, that’s supposedly much more terrifying than the Maou.

I checked all sides.

As long as nothing huge happens, I don’t plan on breaking the wall. If I did that, the room might collapse.

But should I go about it? I wonder.

On the way, I take a large stepladder I found earlier, and climb it.

“Eh! What is it?”

An excited Yufilia asks me.

“There’s an opening. There must be some way to open it.”

There’s a slight trace that humans wouldn’t be able to see.

It seems that Yufilia couldn’t see it however.

I tried to find a way to get into the room, but couldn't find anything.

“Another mystery…”

I feel despondent.

“We've moved another step forward, so we can't give up now!”

Yufilia encourages me.

I examine the ceiling one more time.

Ah, it's such a pain. I'll just break it.

While realizing I couldn't find anything, I get annoyed and lightly hit the ceiling.

When I did that, the square part of the ceiling easily floated off the ceiling, and went on to rotate 180 degrees and fall.

What?

No matter how strengthened it is, if you kick the door it'll move. It isn't like it's fixed in place.

The last mystery was easy.

“You did it!”

“Wow……”

When they come, they each show their reactions.

Excited, Yufilia climbs over to the lid.

Well, I don't really care since I don't have any libido.

“Ha!”

When I feel a gaze on me, I saw Tiraiza looking at me with her eyes.

She just grabbed the Hem of my robe.

I watched that curiously.

“Is it surprising for you to see Yufi like this?”

Tiraiza was cool, as usual.

“Well, she is the princess of one of the great three major powers, the Briton Kingdom. You wouldn’t think she’d get that moved by treasure.”

When I tell her my honest impressions, Tiraiza’s face gets a little clouded.

“Ah, is it bad?”

About half a century ago, during the sixth demonic calamity, the Briton Kingdom had it’s land stolen by the demons.

The Briton Kingdom was the country that formed after.

However, their cities were thoroughly destroyed.

The only country that didn’t take any damage from the demonic calamity---the Scottyard Kingdom.

“That’s why, this Kingdom doesn’t raise it’s head against the Scottyard Kingdom.”

“There’s no debt from then, but we’ve been borrowing more and more since then.”

Money was needed to restore the country.

If they had a steady and frugal national management, they wouldn’t have accumulated so much debt.

“After all, we can’t be negligent while preparing to fight the Maou. Also, the war costs are enormous. And recently, it’s cost us about double.”

A year ago there was demon war, and Yufilia killed the Maou, Marcuk.

If there are two wars in such a short time span, the national finances will naturally be low.

“N, but that’s a story of the national finances right? Is Yufilia really bothered by that?”

“Individual?”

“Oh.”

There was that. I also got involved.

“Why are you telling me about this?”

I got a little curious and asked.

“You’re a member of our club, so I thought you should know. Because I can’t do anything about it.”

“Rather, you should’ve asked him first. I didn’t expect to get so much.”

Jamie relaxes, and laughs

“I’m not really interested in treasure, so it’s fine even if I don’t get any.”

Being declined like this is awkward.

“You’re using that pretense to make passes on women, right? You philanderer.”

Tiraiza jeers at me.

“If it was just that, you wouldn’t need to come to dungeons would you?”

It seems Iris doesn’t understand.

“I was interested in dungeons. I got experience something nice today. I’m content with that. I got something you can’t buy with money.”

Yep, today I got to see lots of beautiful girls.　

I let them imagine what I meant.

We carried away the treasure and finished exploring the dungeon for the day.

We decided to capture the rest of it tomorrow.
