Chapter 479.2

Suddenly, I remembered Lefi’s previous remark: “The Demon Forest is the place where a god has died.”

Lefi had spoken of the theory that it was a demon that lived long enough to be called a God… but judging by the size of this throne, I think she may have been wrong.

“…No, wait. The connection with the Dragon Tribe…”

If I remember correctly, there was some connection between this forest and the Dragon Race. This could be proven by the fact that there were still dragons who had been living in this forest until this day, adding to the information that Lefi mentioned before.

And – the God inside the Divine Spear, Ruin.

That time he showed me a lot of Gods.

There seemed to be several Gods, and among them, included a Dragon.

Then, this place might be… the place of their ancestors, and the first Dragon.

I had no proof, so it was just my theory… but this might really be the case.

That would also explain the mysterious connection between the forest and the dragons.

If such a dragon, the most powerful one in the world, and even the progenitor of the dragons, had died, it would not be surprising that such dense magic would spread to the point that a forest like this could be formed.

However, the throne here was human-sized. Since my wife Lefi and the ancient dragon Cicerius, that I met on the way to the dwarven village, were able to use the humanization technique, it was highly likely that the ancestral dragon could also use humanization skills.

The other Gods were all human-sized, so they probably adjusted their bodies to that size.

The ceiling of this room was the size that fit a dragon, though.

As for the Asura Golems here, I had no idea… but the origin dragon may have been a robot enthusiast.

It was a very stupid assumption, but yeah, I had a feeling that we could have been friends.

–All of this was just my imagination.

There was no basis for it, and it was also a fact that this happened in a time so far in the past that even the long-lived species could not track it.

As a person living in the future, all I could do was to speculate on assumptions.

And yet…

When I was looking at the uninhabited throne, I thought to myself, “…The owner of this place must have died with satisfaction.”

The Lord of this place must have completed his long, very long life… happily.

That made me happy, somehow.

“I’m home.”

“…I’m home.”

When me and Enne, who had already been personified, said so, a voice came back to greet us right away.

“Welcome back! You don’t seem to be injured today!”

“Welcome back! Did you find anything?”

“Oh, yes, absolutely!”

“…we saw the insides of the ruins. It was interesting.”

Layla was the first to respond to Enne’s words.

“Really? I see. What in the world is in–“

“Wait, Layla, I know your curiosity is piqued, but Husband just got back. They probably want to take a bath, so we’ll talk later. The mystery won’t run away from you.”

“! Certainly, yes! Excuse me, would you like to take a bath, then?”

I smiled a little at their exchange, which seemed to have reversed their positions from the usual and then responded, “I will. Where is Lefi?”

“Lefi went to the grassland area at the behest of Illuna-chan and the others. I think she’ll be back soon, though, since dinner is almost ready.”

Recently, the adults had stopped referring to the young girls with “-chan” but would still refer to them with it when they were not around.

They didn’t seem to be bothered by it before, but a while ago there was a meeting of the wives, where the subject came up, and since then Lyuu, Layla, and Nell had been making careful arrangements to do so.

–Then Enne and I prepared our change of clothes, and left the living room.

Enne, who was walking next to me, looked up at me with a curious look on her face.

“? What’s wrong?”

“…Hmmm. I was wondering why the Master seems so happy.”

“Oh, ah. Well, because good things happened today.”

Today was…good, a lot of nice things happened.

It was such a good day.

And I would have to work hard to make tomorrow a good day, as well.

As I was thinking about what to do, I patted Enne’s head.
