A Demon Lord's Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss

Chapter 504.2

After that, we spent some time chatting with Finar’s wife.

In this short time, I was able to get a general idea of her personality, and the jokes she told from her serious face were surreal and amusing, and I learned that she was actually a person with a good sense of humor.

The important thing here was that she kept a very serious face, and it barely changed whether she was making a joke or not.

However, she laughed gently in some parts of the conversation, and I could sense her love for Finar as it was evident in her words when talking about him.

In fact, my girl immediately took a liking to her.

Finar certainly had chosen an interesting person to be his wife.

The conversation then turned to Rir, and Enne said, “…I’ll bring you over there, and I’d like you to touch Rir’s fluffy hair,” to which the wife of the Demon King replied, “Well, I’m looking forward to that,” and they left the room together.

We talked about a lot of unrelated things, but it was a good time for me to start talking to the Demon King about something else while sipping the tea he had brewed for me.

“Oh yeah, I had to ask, how’s the competition thing going on now so far?”

“We’re still discussing it. I think we’ve decided on the general framework and what we’re going to do. Actually, we were planning to have a meeting with you, Yuki, at Rogard Empire soon. –We’re planning to have two competitions this time.”

I see, so they have narrowed it down to two. Follow current s on Fɪre.net

“One is to test the beauty and difficulties in magic. And the second one is all about tests of physical strength, magical skill, tactical acumen, and perfection of teamwork, all of which are required. This second one is based on the main points of the competitions you have told us about. The first is the Magic Festa

“Wow…that’s great, I’m getting excited just hearing about it!”

A sport that used magic and was developed in this world.

I wanted to be a part of it from the very beginning, and I could watch how it develops in the future.

As someone who loved sports from previous life – or rather, as someone who loved the competitions that people engaged in, I was delighted.

Even if it was a game or a play, it would still be an interesting event in its own right.

“Well, here comes the hard part. How do we make the newly created competitions permeate the public, create expectations among the people, and promote accommodation through this? And how to separate it from politics… I would like to see the world continue to run through its current ‘fever’ without cooling down, but if we neglect the foundation, it will soon crumble. It’s important to make proper adjustments.”

I was a little excited, but Finar’s serious tone of voice made me calm down.

“…Yes, that’s right. I’d like to hold it while there is still a sense of anticipation among the people, but since it’s the first time we’re trying this, no matter how much we work out the details, it will not be enough.”

“Maybe, is what I would like to say, but for sure, there will be some problems. I’m not certain if we can keep moving forward without falling back on the issues. –And by the way, I’m going to ask the Dwarves to build an arena first, so can I build it in the Imperial Capital?”

“Oh, of course, and it should have a variety of uses, right? I’d like it to be able to host multiple sports events, and I’d also want a hotel and stores around it.”

I personally would be happy if it were like a complex in my previous life, with the stadium as the centerpiece.

A couple of hotels in a row, a department store of some sort, and a park or something would be a blast.

No, wait, maybe a “department store” concept did not exist yet in this world?

I should use this opportunity to make it permeate the world.

But it would take a lot of time and money to develop a department store to a certain extent, and the parks would likely be a problem. So I should probably limit it to a stadium and a hotel where visitors could stay…but it could develop into a big project in the future.

Taking all of this into account… I think the best location would be by the seaside.

In this world, unlike my previous life, there were still a lot of distribution problems.

Although airships have become a new means of transportation, there still existed a big difference in transportation capacity, both in people and goods, between airships and ocean vessels.

Considering that this was a competition that would bring together countries, it would be more convenient to have the event as close to the sea as possible.

Fortunately, the imperial capital of Gallia was very large, and its southern end faced the sea.

As one of the largest nations in this world, the scale of its capital alone would be comparable to that of the royal capital of Allysia Kingdom and perhaps even to the royal capital of the Demon World combined in size.

I wish someone in this world would invent something like a train. That’s right, a TRAIN!

I think that this world was comparable to early modern times in the history of my previous life.

However, it was clear that the development of this world was slow compared to the length of its history.

This was probably because of the harshness of the environment surrounding the humanoid races.

In addition to strong external enemies in the form of monsters, there were multiple humanoid countries that did not get along with each other, and the seeds of conflict were everywhere.

According to the story of the God Ruin, Dominus, which was this world itself, sought chaos, in other words, diversity of races… but I couldn’t help but think that it was a little too diverse.

But still, there existed scenes that could only be seen in this world, and I think I understand what Dominus was aiming for.

This world was cruel, ruthless, merciless, and harsh – but above all, it was fantastic.

I wonder if Dominus and the elder Gods would like to witness the competition we were going to organize…

“…Hmmm, that sounds good. The construction plan is being planned mainly by the Dwarves, but Yuki, can I hear what you have in mind right now?”

“Okay, I’ll tell you what I think would be a good plan.”

We then proceeded with our discussions.
