"Chirp chirp~"
"..."
Accompanied by the chirping of birds, Ira woke up from her dream... Surprisingly, sleeping against the rock wall in the cave felt more peaceful than in the Demon King's territory, and her sleep quality improved as well.
Sure enough, there was something evil in the Demon King's territory.
As Ira was sighing, he felt something pressed tightly against him, seemingly a small, hot body... Even without turning his head, he knew it must be Satan Ye, who was restless at night and had snuggled up to him.
Is it because he's not used to sleeping in the same bed that he couldn't sleep soundly? Or is Satan Ye just a restless sleeper by nature?
Iraq was unaware of this.
(Sylina: Finally, Lady Ira knows the agony I endure every night as I tuck Princess Satan into bed and check if she's about to roll off.)
But what is certain is that Satan Leaf is now using Ira's body as a tree trunk, just like a koala... Her cute crimson tail has also wrapped around Ira's legs a few times, with the little tip of the tail gently tugging at Ira's trouser leg.
It was a very peaceful and tranquil scene, and no one would want to disturb the crimson dragon loli who was sleeping soundly.
“Satan Leaf, wake up...we should get going.”
But Ira could, he said calmly, gently pushing Satanieh, who was holding him, and said, "Satanieh, wake up, Satanieh?"
At Ira's call, Satanie opened her eyes in a daze. She scurried away from Ira, then gently closed her eyes again, breathing evenly.
"..."
However, Ira wasn't letting her fall asleep, but rather waking her up... The position where Satan is sleeping now is the position where Satan was sleeping last night before Ira fell asleep.
For some reason, she seemed to have moved over in her sleep, and logically she shouldn't feel cold.
"Satanye, wake up."
"..."
"Hmm~"
This time, Satanye let out a soft murmur and opened her eyes... She looked sleepy, staring blankly at Ira and the dimly lit cave around her, seemingly not quite sure what was going on.
Instead of the familiar room, she saw a cave, and the first person she saw was not Shirina but Ira, which puzzled her.
However, the next moment she realized that she and Ira were on their way to the Orc Kingdom, so she blinked hard to keep herself alert.
"Clap clap clap~"
"Whoosh~"
Satan Leaf slapped her face and then exhaled with a "whoosh." She shook her head and stood up from the cave... It was cute, but also effective—she was awake.
“Mr. Ira…”
"I'm here. It's time to go. I'll find you something to eat along the way."
In response to Ira's reply, Satanye obediently nodded and stood up, stretching her cute little yawns while spreading her wings, preparing to take flight.
"By the way, Mr. Ira, why does the daughter of that slave you rescued and brought home want to see you?"
Satan asked the question as if it were just a casual remark, but she always seemed to enjoy asking about other people in Iraq... Whenever someone connected to Iraq was mentioned, she always wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Iraq was reluctant to think about what kind of mentality this was.
“I’m not too sure, and… that wolf girl named Volley, she was one of the illegally captured alien slaves I rescued. She’s not special, but she was the first one to run away on her own.”
Ira's words made Satan Ye tilt her head in confusion. She watched Ira take off after chanting "[First Wing Pillar - Crimson Dragon - Wingspan]" and she quickly took off to follow.
What does "ran away on their own" mean?
Regarding Satan Ye's doubts, Ira recalled a little episode from long ago, saying, "Back in the Empire, I often raided slave trading dens of foreign races... At least on the surface, the slave-catching teams were illegal."
“I will take them back to my home… This ‘they’ is not limited to women; I will treat them all equally regardless of gender or race. After they have recovered, I will ask the merchants to take them back to their own countries.”
As Ira spoke, recalling what had happened that day, he said, "However, after I brought Volley back to my temporary lodgings that day, I had some things to take care of, so I left some food behind to deal with them."
"When I came back, the wolf girl had disappeared without a trace. She had taken all the food with her. Maybe I didn't explain things clearly enough, and she thought I had malicious intentions?"
Thinking this way, he shook his head apologetically and said, "I can tell that she didn't have much time left. She probably passed away after returning to the Orc Kingdom without explaining things clearly... and then her daughter had some misunderstanding? Probably."
Iraq instinctively felt that this was the case, but the specifics were still uncertain.
"Huh? So, are they going to call you over there, Ira, and then kill you to get revenge?"
Satanye frowned as she asked, beginning to realize that this mission would be very dangerous, and... she hadn't brought her scythe with her this time, so she might not be able to help Ira much in the battle.
"Hehe~"
Thinking this, Satan Ye couldn't help but laugh the next moment. She almost forgot that if Ira encountered something that required help, she would be of no use at all.
After all, he was just a very weak demon king.
