Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo Dorei Majutsu Volume 7 – CH 2.2

Part 2

The next day──

Diablo was lying down on the bench inside of the canopy. His head on on Rose’s lap.

It was soft.

Even though she was sturdy enough to endure even an attack from a Demonic Beast, it was strange how she was properly soft like a girl. Maybe because she was Magimatic, her body temperature was low, but that was also quite pleasant.

Rose’s cheeks were dyed red as she gazed at him.

「Master, how is it?」

「Umu……It isn’t bad.」

*Haa, haa……* Her breathing had become rough, but it was only at the level that it bothered him a little.

Leaving the carriage to the subordinates, and lying down with a maid lap pillow──This is truly how a Demon King acts, isn’t it!

Actually, he was nauseated on the carriage.

Since they were on the highway for a while after leaving the royal capital, he didn’t have a problem, but once they left the highway and started traveling on the plains, to think that it would shake this much.

Receiving vibrations that tossed his stomach for too long, Diablo ended up feeling sick.

A Demon King getting car sick, that would be shameful.

Therefore, he said 「As I will be sleeping, properly drive the carriage」, and lied down.

──Urp.

If Diablo could survey the forest, he could probably tell where the Blackwood entrance was.

However, since he was enduring motion sickness right now, this was the most he could do.

Incidentally, Shera was also lying down on the center bench. It seemed that she had merely eaten too much at lunch and became sleepy.

The driver’s seat.

Rem was clutching the reins.

Sylvie was next to her, looking at the map.

「As I thought, when we leave the highway, it shakes quite a bit. Rem-san, are you alright? Didn’t you say that you were weak with vehicles?」

「……You remember that well.」

「That’s because Adventurers are something like family to me. I learn the likes and dislikes of family.」

「……Me too, I only noticed this for the first time in this journey but……When I clutch the reins on the driver’s seat, I seem to be fine. There’s no strange sense of anxiety either.」

「Heeー. I wonder if looking far away is good for you? Ah, it feels like we should be entering the forest soon but……how is it?」

Right now, they were advancing the carriage to the west. They were traveling towards the sinking sun.

Since three days ago, they devotedly continued through the plains, and a black forest was growing thick on their left side.

This should have been Blackwood──the country of the Dark Elves.

Rem shook her head left and right.

「……Let alone a path that a carriage could pass through, I can’t even find an animal trail.」

「There really isn’t.」

「……Is Shera’s information even correct? Could it be that the country of the Dark Elves is actually in a different place?」
