Farming Life in Another World

Throne Room.

In a place so grand that one could hardly describe it, a slender young man in his thirties awaited.

「Ahahaha! You’ve come at last, you fools! ……..Wait a moment, my back is cramping for not moving my arms after such a long time. Roberto, a little ton ton ton ton here, please. Right below the shoulders. I did warm up, you know. Oh, a bit higher, there.」

Ehto, so the vampire’s name is Roberto.

And that guy….

The master-san.

Could he also be a vampire?

By looking at them, it is obvious that they have a master-servant relationship…..

When I looked at Ursa-san to see her reaction, she seemed distracted, glancing at the ice monster and the others.

Since they are still preparing, it would be better to pretend not seeing them until they restart.

Understood, but… well, Ursa-san, are you accustomed to this?

Are you perhaps acquainted with them?

No?

They’re talking in noble language?

…

I don’t understand the Demon King’s Kingdom’s culture at all.

「Ahahaha! You’ve come at last, you fools!」

By the way, this is the third time.

The second time, he stumbled over his words midway, so everyone has to pretend that it never happened.

The third time, he managed to say it properly—finally… I mean, well done.

Ehto, how should I respond to this?

I’m not sure, so I’ll leave it to Ursa-san.

Yes, please do.

Step forward.

Go ahead.

As I encourage him, Ursa-san reluctantly borrows a cloak from the kurokuro-sans… Ah, it’s a mantle, isn’t it?

Brushing off the dust from the newly donned mantle, she speaks.

「Bastard, are you the king of this beguiling dungeon? Why do you harm us?」

In response to Ursa-san’s words, the other party…

Is rejoicing alongside Roberto.

It’s as if they’ve found someone who understands their language, someone with similar interests.

「Roberto, quite the gem we have here.」

「Yes, indeed. I sensed that same atmosphere.」

At least don’t talk among yourselves too loud.

Ursa-san is waiting.

「My bad. Ahahaha! Knowing that, what will you do? You shall die here!」

…

After saying that, he looks worried if the meaning got across. How about just having a normal conversation?

「Have you become intoxicated by your own power? Then prove it by pushing through with that strength.」

Good for him.

It seems Ursa-san understands perfectly.

Good grief, don’t be so blatantly pleased.

Continue, continue.

By the way, I don’t understand a single word.

I guess I’ll ask for an explanation later.

Feeling as if I had just witnessed an impromptu play.

I marveled at the seamless exchange of words. To engage in such nonsense without prior coordination is nothing but amazing.

I had given up trying to understand but the phrases like ‘the creeping darkness beneath the earth’, ‘the lightning sword that cleaves the sky’, ‘pitiable succubi’, and ‘the lance of inevitable demise’ left an impression on me. ℞Ãɴò₿Êś

Judging solely by the atmosphere, I feel like they’re saying, ‘Oh, underestimating me, are you?’, ‘Which one of us?’, ‘Go ahead, try it.’ and ‘Prepare to meet your end.’.

And will end up in an immediate battle.

However, my interpretation was wrong.

You see, after those exchanges concluded, we found ourselves in a luxurious tea room.

The kurokuro-sans prepared it for us.

They even thanked the flame monster for contributing.

「Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve been thoroughly entertained.」

Master-san remarked cheerfully, offering tea and sweets.

He is now talking normally which puts me at ease.

If possible, I wish we had started speaking this way from the beginning.

And the tea treats—they’re exquisite.

Not just sweet, but possessing an elegant flavor that complements the tea served.

As we sipped our tea, I learned from Master-san and Ursa-san that this peculiar banter isn’t part of Demon King’s Kingdom’s culture but rather, a vampire tradition.

Master-san said that he was influenced by the vampire Roberto and eventually enjoyed such exchanges.

But Ursa-san—where did you acquire this taste?

Her expression suggests she’d rather not discuss it openly.

Ursa-san abruptly changed the topic.

Perhaps it’s best not to press further.

-0-

Master-san’s name is Guinell.

After reintroducing ourselves, I asked master-san to explain the content of their impromptu play.

This place is an ancient castle that sank underground.

Master-san said that he wants to keep this place secret and will let us go home if we promise not to tell anyone.

………….

I thought their conversation was rather long, but is that it?

Also, if you had informed us that from the beginning, we wouldn’t have wasted our time wandering around this dungeon…..no, I mean wandering around this castle.

「What was the teleportation trap that brought us here in the first place?」

Ursa-san inquired.

「I believe it’s a gateway for entering and leaving this castle. Although I thought I had smashed such mechanisms, I don’t really know everything about it. My apologies. I’ll investigate further and ensure everything’s smashed.」

「Thank you. And what about the teleportations within the castle itself?」

「That’s an original defense mechanism of this castle. As I mentioned, it’s an ancient structure, dating back a thousand or two thousand years.」

Ah, the age of magic.

I’ve heard that teleportation spells were commonplace during those times.

They’re rare now though.

「Isn’t it inconvenient?」

「I don’t know how to disable it. Besides, there are escape routes, so inconvenience isn’t an issue.」

Is he talking about the path we took when we were guided to the restroom?

「As long as the residents aren’t bothered, it’s fine. Has anyone else ever been transported here?」

「No, you’re the only ones in the past century.」

「Good. Then we won’t speak of this place to anyone. Can we go home now? The others are probably worried.」

「Ah, it’s best not to cause unnecessary concern. Although I’ll miss your company, I won’t detain you. Roberto, on the other hand, seems reluctant to let you go.」

The vampire looked disappointed.

He suggested that spending another fifty years together wouldn’t hurt, but our differing perceptions of time make it challenging.

Ah, the flame monster-san and the others…..

So, you’re going to follow Ursa-san, right?

Let’s head back together.

…….

Ano, master-san.

Why are these monsters following Ursa-san?

「I’m not entirely sure. The teleportation magic that summons these monsters is part of the castle’s defense mechanism. But the conditions for summoning them… Roberto, did you tamper with it?」

「Oh, indeed I did. I used an artifact left behind by the Brave Queen.」

「An artifact? Goodness! You mean it’s from my collection? That thing is valuable!」

「I assure you, I merely installed it. It shouldn’t have worn out or depleted.」

「Even so, why bother using it?」

「Well, this castle has ties to the Brave Queen. If that’s the case, using her artifact adds a certain elegance.」

「Hmph.」

「However, when I summoned them, only weak monsters appeared. We should investigate further.」

I asked the flame monster-san and the others, and it seems they were living leisurely in various places before suddenly being teleported here.

They’re quite unlucky, aren’t they?

…oya?

Ursa-san, what’s wrong?

Your expression changed after hearing the ice monster’s story.

Ice monster-san caused trouble at Ursa-san’s parent’s house before coming here?

That won’t do.

Ice monster-san, go and apologize to them later.

I’m sure Ursa-san will vouch for you.

Ursa-san, I guess you should check the situation first.

Now, apologies for taking your time because of our idle chat when we’re about to leave.

Ursa-san, let’s head back soon.

Eh?

Master-san himself will show us the exit?

Thank you very much.
