「Yosh, it’s done!」

After a bit of time passed after she started choosing the clothes, Rokuna expressed a satisfied-looking smile.

First, Vermudol was still in Ichika’s coordinated outfit, a western Majin-style outfit.

And then, Ichika was in sharp attire that was somehow similar to knight clothes. Her usual long sword was hung on her waist, but her hairstyle wasn’t long and straight but gathered into a ponytail.

As for Nino, she had leather armor on top of rough cloth clothes, leather pants and leather shoes. In place of her usual curved swords, both of her hands were placed in leather gloves.

「The theme is a senpai guiding their kouhai around the castle town on a day off, and an associate that joined up for some reason or another, I guess.」

Orel, who was nodding things like “Hoー” and “Fumu”, kept distant while listening to her to ensure his safety.

「……Senpai.」

Seeing Nino point at herself as she said that, Rokuna shook her head sideways.

「……Can’t agree to this.」

「It’s fineー. It’s because my selection is perfect. Rightー……wait, arya, and Orel isn’t here.」

Vermudol thought “Well, what she says is true……”.

For Vermudol and Nino who were absent for a while and are unfamiliar with the castle town, having Ichika guide them to a certain extent would give him a peace of mind, and there wouldn’t be any unnaturalness to their attitudes.

「……Well, isn’t this fine? It is true that Nino and I don’t know about the recent castle town after all.」

Nino made a dissatisfied-looking face at Vermudol’s words but……in the end, she sank into silence without saying anything.

「Now then, let us get going.」

「Ah, Ichika. Although I think you know this.」

「Yes, of course. So please proceed with your own work as well.」

After she and Rokuna nodded to one another, Ichika stood at the Throne Room entrance so that she could guide Vermudol and Nino.

「Nino, let’s go.」

「Nn.」

Vermudol and Nino caught up to her, and then the three of them and headed to the stairway that headed down just like that.

「Don’t forget my souvenirー.」

After leaving the words that Rokuna said at the corner of his mind for the moment, Vermudol casually threw a question at Ichika.

「Come to think of it, Ichika.」

「Yes, what would you like to know?」

It was about what Rokuna and Ichika were talking about earlier.

About what she 「knows」 about.

「That is a simple story.」

Ichika nodded and answered.

「To pass through the rear entrance, and show Demon King-sama’s great figure to Gordy……that is all.」

「Ahh, now that you mention it, that guy does protect outside after all.」

「Yes, he is usually at the back.」

Walking while having that conversation, the three of them arrived at the rear entrance of the Demon King Castle.

Although it was called a rear entrance, it was something quite splendid.

Acknowledging the figures of Vermudol’s group, a Magic Operated Armor started to open the door.

After making a simple greeting to the Magic Operated Armor that completely finished opening the door and had taken a bowing posture, Vermudol’s group came to the outside of the Demon King Castle.

Beneath the usual unchanging gray sky, the Demon King Castle’s rear garden spread out.

It was once the place that Ichika’s kitchen garden was at, but nowadays, it had been changed completely.

「It is a farm……isn’t it.」

「Yes, I had believed that it was no longer necessary but……I came to learn that it had a popularity that went beyond expectations as given goods.」

What was there wasn’t on the level of a potato field and kitchen garden, but a splendid plantation that used roughly half of the wide rear garden that was spread out.

There was a focus on raising things that could be preserved, and since they were carefully produced by the Demon King Castle, it seems that they are treated as top quality products.
