Chapter 450 Fakshon

Fa FAKSHON!

Just as Deris was worried about Hund, Hund himself was sneezing loudly in the basement of Crocus Castle.

Whoa!?

Giorgia, who was close by, was surprised by the loudness of the sound. To be more specific, he jumped. He has good hearing despite his age, but it seemed to have backfired.

S-Sorry. My nose suddenly became itchy.

Y-Yeah, its okay because we have knocked down the guards. Still, that sure was a big sneeze, huh?

Hund-sama? Did you catch a cold? Or maybe someone who knows you were talking about you?

I have never been sick since I was born. Perhaps it is the latter. I dont know who it is, though.

I envy you your lung capacity you seem to be able to sing powerfully. How about we have a duet sometime? I think I can discover a new path!

U-Umu? Im sorry, but there is no singing in our culture.

Thats not good. I heard from Deris-san when we were chatting that the Great Eight Demons hold a singing contest regularly. It seems that the last place will be punished badly.

Singing contest!?

In short, its a karaoke contest. Of course, it was hosted by Maria. The winner was Maria and the runner-up was Lilyvia. Incidentally, the victim of the previous punishment was Rimudo.

While they were making small talk, Therese and the others continued to go down the passage. The basement of Crocus Castle, which they are exploring, is a prison where criminals are prisoned. According to Alezels information, Maria has locked up most of the Crocus people in the castle in this place.

As an important place for capturing hostages, this place is being guarded more strictly than the other places or not. There are no vampire sisters or the monsters created by Maria, and the vampire butlers and maids are rarely seen here. Its unclear whether Maria doesnt care about the hostages so much, but its a good thing for Therese and the others.

Hey, you guys, give me some chocolate! If you dont have it, anything sweet is fine!

I made all of the garden trees heart-shaped but why did they arrest me.

Naturally, there are prisoners who were originally prisoned here. They are all dressed in prison clothes, so its easy to distinguish them from innocent ones. But something seems a little strange about the words of those who are being prisoned.

Hmm? Their words are like something from a fairy tale, dont you think?

Well, thats the national character of Crocus, or maybe I should say the temperament of the inhabitants? I suggest you dont pay too much attention to it.

Even if you say that, I cant stop once I start being curious about it desuwa! It is important to try to know everything rather than looking away! Wee, do you know something?

Yes. Crocus has a very low crime rate even in the Jiba continent. Even if there is one, its about eating too many sweets because of chocolate addiction or being too faithful to the fairy tale design.

Hou? It seems that there are many dwarfs in this country, but are they the same even though they are famous for their artisan temperament and love for alcohol?

Yes although its hard to imagine that in other countries

I-I see

The image of the dwarves was destroyed. For Giorgia, its strangeness is on par with a certain money-lover elf.

Setting that trivial matter aside, they went further into the prison. Then, Hund, who was walking in the front, sensed that the atmosphere was different from the previous prison area. He then tells the others that the goal seems to be just ahead.

I-Is there someone there!? F-Fine, I will be your opponent!

It seems that the other party noticed their presence as well. The voice of a slightly scared man was heard from the depths of the darkness of the prison. However, he may have misidentified them as the enemy that he was aggressive.

Oda, are your legs shaking, you know?

Shut up! Im making up my mind right now! Its a critical moment!

O-Oda-kun, calm down

Such a conversation was heard after it. All of those voices are familiar to Therese.

Hmm, these voices belong to Master Mani, and Oda-san, and Fuchi-san desuwa!

Oh, this is Therese-sans voice. Too bad, Oda. You lost your show time. Why dont you stop that trembling now?

I-Is that so? Thats too bad. But, this trembling wont stop so easily! It wont stop!

Oda-kun

Theres no mistaking it, its their group.

Oh my! Oda-san, he must have had quite a frightening experience. We must release them as soon as possible! Giorgia-san, the key please!

Oh, the one that Alezel left behind when she suddenly appeared, right? Here.

I dont think there are any enemies around, but Ill lead the way. Do not let your guard down.

Okay.

Hund pushed forward into the darkness, paying close attention to the surroundings. Soon after, he discovered the prison in which Oda and the others are locked up. Then, he stepped forward to check the interior of the cell.

Are you okay!?

Visit ., for the best no_vel_read_ing experience

Yeah, Im okgyaaaaaah!? Its the Demon King at that time!?

O-Oda-kun, calm down! Hes on our side now!

Thats right, Oda. How many unsightly figures do you want to show? It is true that we were enemies before, but I explained to you that we are not enemies now, right? When King Hunds subordinates came to this country with Therese, you helped out at the outdoor party several times, didnt you?

T-Thats right, but I would be surprised if he suddenly appeared out of the darkness! Im a warrior, so Im the vanguard!

Err, sorry. It was my fault. I will try to appear slowly next time.

No, Oda is just a timid person. Please dont worry about it.

Oda was flustered, Mani was trying to calm him down, and Hund and Fuchi were bowing to each other.

It seems that everyone is fine desuwa!

Eh? Is that what you call fine?

Giorgias concern is understandable, but this is fine. They are acting normally.

(Lets see.)

Weerel was looking around the whole prison. Other than Odas party, there are dozens, maybe hundreds or even more other people in the prison area. Judging from their clothes, all of them are workers at the castle. The prison cells are separated for men and women, and although there is barely enough space, at least the prisoners seem to be able to live inside. However, the person who is the most important person is nowhere to be seen. That person always stands out, so its hard to not notice her.

Um, Fuchi-san. Is Queen Clarius in another place?

Oh, you read the situation well. As for the answer, yes, shes not here. My guess is that she is locked up in the worst possible place. Now, where do you think that is?

In contrast to Fuchi who was talking happily, Weerel was frowning.
