.
My nostalgic home.
The orc village has the placidness that is unique to rural area, or putting it another way it lacked vigilance. There is no culture of putting lock and key here.
……Well, there isn’t any suicidal thief who will try to do anything to my family house though.
There is no idiot who will pick a fight with both the demon king and hero.
Words naturally slipped out from my mouth the moment I stepped inside.
「「Home sweet home.」」
Marle’s voice overlapped with mine.
「What’s the matter?」
「Somehow, Marle thought that.」
Is it because she had absorbed my flesh and soul?
That thought of me is immediately cut off.
There is someone’s presence here.
That presence is rapidly closing in.
「My my my, welcome home, Ork-chan.」
There is someone who shouldn’t be here.
It’s Kaa-san who should be out in her lovey dovey trip.
She is a calm looking beauty with soft brown hair. Even though her age should be over thirty already, she looked like she can still pass herself as a teenage just barely.
She is like a mother character who came out in eroge.
I’m glad I don’t have any interest in that direction. The eroge of the recent times have misplaced their moral somewhere else and even if it’s with the biological mother they didn’t give a damn…….
「Shouldn’t Kaa-san out in a trip?」
「That person is seriously injured, so we cut short the trip and went home.」
「Tou-san is injured, no that’s impossible. To begin with, with Tou-san’s regeneration ability, he should have healed from any injury right away.」
Evol Orc is a race that evolved by absorbing the strong point of various races.
Unlike me who got that trait sealed in order to stop my blood from going wild, Tou-san can freely use all the strong points of the races that his blood had absorbed.
Regeneration is a mainstream ability. Tou-san has ten or twenty of that type of ability and he can use them in stacks with each other. He can even regenerate his arms even if it got cut off.
In fact I myself had done that feat when I was in an unsealed state.
「That’s how it would be if it’s a normal injury……in the past I cut off both his hands, but they both grew back in seconds.」
It must be a story from when they fought each other as demon king and hero, not husband and wife quarrel.
「……It’s amazing that Kaa-san could do by simply being the hero.」
I only understood now that I have become strong. Tou-san is a monster.
I can’t imagine how a mere hero was able to rival such monster.
「Ork-chan, you’re underestimating hero’s power too much. You should go train it properly somewhere at least once. You are able to use cheat like twin spirit crests and Evol Orc’s power, so you’re completely making light of hero’s power.」
「I’m using the hero’s power properly though.」
「You’re using it but not very well at all. Fuu, this is my fault. There is nobody else than me who can teach you the way to use the hero’s power, and yet I had my hand full just teaching you swordsmanship before this……well, let’s put that aside.」
「You’re putting it aside after saying that much!?」
I’m getting really curious here you know? Don’t tell me, the spirit crest has other use than borrowing the power of the spirits!?
What’s more, the human Kaa-san was able to rival Tou-san by having just that spirit crest. If it’s really hiding that kind of secret, then it will lead to me being able to power up drastically.
「Well, let’s not rush it. More importantly, who are the cute girls behind you?」
Kaa-san’s eyes glinted.
Her eyes looked the same with the past when she forcefully tried to dress me in female outfit.
「Umm, err, nice to meet you, I’m Ork’s wife Tita.」
「Err, I’m also Ork-san’s wife Kururu-!」
The voices of the two are trembling in nervousness.
Their nervousness is completely different than when they were greeting the orc trio before this.
「My my my, what lovely girls we have here! You two, call me Okaa-san(mother-in-law) okay?」
It’s terrifying how her smile that is pure and innocent like a girl (actual age is over thirty) really suited her.
「And the other girl is……Ork-chan, don’t tell me, you, even a girl this small. No way, even though I told you that you mustn’t lay your hand on children no matter what, to think that Ork-chan has become that kind of scum」
She broke down crying theatrically.
「That’s not it, Marle is Otou-san’s daughter.」
「You already have a daughter this big!? Who is your mother?」
Marle tilted her head, after that she pointed her finger……to Kaa-san.
Tita and Kururu’s faces are dyed in surprise.
「Thinking back, she is really similar with Okaa-san.」(Tita)
「O-Ork-san, don’t tell me, no way, that’s, as expected it’s, just disgusting.」
「No way, could it be that, without me knowing Ork-chan has……」
「Tita and Kururu already heard the great sage’s story before this! Also Kaa-san, as expected it hurt if you are doubting me like that!」
Is she thinking that I have ever stuck my pen*s into her!? As expected I’m unable to look at Kaa-san in that way.
「……But, now that you mention it. It feels like Marle is more similar to Kaa-san rather than me.」
Rather it felt like some puzzle pieces are falling into places.
For example is Rurine and Marle’s sparring.
At that time, the swordsmanship that Marle wielded wasn’t the one I learned from Kaa-san that had been optimized for my body build, joint range, muscle strength, mana, and ki’s property, but Kaa-san’s sword technique itself.
Calling it as Kaa-san’s copy rather than my copy is more fitting.
Also, perhaps I don’t get excited from Marle might also because I’m a mister orc who said no thank you to blood related mother and little sister.
I gave a simple explanation about Marle to Kaa-san.
「So that’s how it is. Ufufu, I became a grandma faster than I imagined.」
Kaa-san said that and moved her hand to pat Marle, but Marle went to hid behind me.
「Somehow, Marle don’t wanna.」
I’m surprised. This is the first time I saw Marle acting shy to stranger.
Even though she got that attached to Tita and Kururu and Rurine.
Kaa-san should be a type of person who got easily liked by others.
Looking at Marle’s reaction, it seemed to be more of an instinctual reaction rather than emotional.
In that moment, it felt like all of the puzzle pieces got connected to each other.
I don’t have concrete evidence but, Marle’s true identity. I have largely guessed why the great sage Merlin Enlight made her like this.
「Now, don’t say that. She isn’t a bad person.」
「Look, I have delicious sweets here.」
Wrapped baked sweets appeared from Kaa-san’s pocket. It seemed to be a cookie that gave off sweet smell of pumpkin.
「Marle’ll eat!」
I got uneasy seeing my daughter got won over in second like that.
Let’s teach her later that she mustn’t accept sweets from stranger.
◇
Tita and Kururu moved to Kaa-san’s room while I moved to the underground room.
I didn’t notice when I was little, but my home is drawing the overflowing mana from the leyline that is put into use as barrier. In a sense this house is a shrine or perhaps a magician’s workshop.
Although Tou-san has that kind of appearance, as an Evol Orc he is also a magician. It’s not strange for him to improve his own home like this.
After all the demon king and the hero are living here. The demon king and the hero are symbols of idolization, while at the same time they are also symbols of fear. They needed quite the protection for themselves.
Also, a shrine has various uses.
For example, healing wound, etc.
In fact, he is resting his body on a detailed and beautiful magic circle that is converting the leyline’s mana into the power of healing and purification.
「It’s unusual that Tou-san is in that form.」
Over there is a tall and lean man who looked to be almost at his fifty. His body is thoroughly trained.
He is clad in an overwhelming kingly aura that made even me his son almost prostrated reflexively.
Yes, he isn’t in his usual orc form but human form.
「Long time no see Ork. The orc form has better power and regeneration ability but……right now I need resistance against sorcery and curse more.」
He is none other than my father, the former demon king and the chief of the Evol Orc’s village, Orclucille.
Also, this human form is none other than the form he used in his demon king era.
However, this isn’t his true form. The orc form and the human form, both of them are equally father’s true essence. He is simply using them depending on the situation.
In his orc form, his physical ability and mana jumped up, but it has the flaw of decreasing the precision of his magic remarkably.
「They got you good. Just what did Tou-san fight that you got injury that even you can’t heal like this?」
Tou-san has no right arm and his left leg from the knee below is gone. There are also many other wounds that are deeply carved into his body, and all the wounds are being violated by muddy black miasma. In that state, the regeneration abilities of any species or healing magic won’t work.
It’s to a degree that it’s a mystery that Tou-san is still alive.
Tou-san returned to this place, the shrine that he himself created must be in order to remove this miasma.
Even with Tou-san’s absurd strength, the best that he could do is suppressing the miasma’s encroachment. He can only rely on external power if he wanted to remove it.
「The demon king.」
「……Just how many demon kings are there in this world?」
I recalled the demon king who had just become my lover recently.
「Wrong, it’s not the demon king like us who hold the title as occupation, it’s the demon king as defined by the system.」
「So something like that actually exist.」
「There is no way the demon king doesn’t exist if a deterrence like the hero exist.」
Tou-san and Lilith are demon kings as their occupation. So to speak they are no different from human king.
They are held up in respect to rule over the monsters.
As for the system based demon king, I guessed that they are just like the hero who is granted with special power in the form of the spirit crest, this demon king is someone who is granted power by a higher existence.
「If they are given power by a higher existence just like the hero, then who in the world they are and what is the purpose of giving them power?」
「I don’t know the answer to that. But, I can only say that this demon king really do exist. ……The demon king is strong. Absurdly so. It’s only natural, after all we, Evol Orc, Nightmare, Evol Slime, High Elf, and also the golden flame fox, all of us special races in addition of the hero system were all created to serve as deterrence to this. This is an opponent that rivaled all of those special existences put together, so it’s only natural for their strength to be in such height.」
The deterrence that protected the world.
The powers that are intentionally placed by the spirit kings. Their purpose are for the sake of stopping the world’s destruction.
Putting it another way, this existence is so dangerous that the spirit king who is pursuing the stability of the world is forced is forced to scatter extraordinary powers all over the place even though they could become cause of conflict.
「Did Tou-san manage to defeat that demon king?」
「No, I didn’t defeat him, but I made him got diarrhea.」
「Haa?」
「When I turned my torn off arm and all of my torn fleshes into special curse and poison altogether and threw them at him, he writhed in agony and retreated. It was amazing that I was struck with such idea if I say so myself.」
Tou-san laughed hahaha. Certainly poison and curse are the expertise of monster. The overlapping traits of all races that dwelled in Evol Orc’s blood might be enough to give even the demon king diarrhea.
「Just why did you fight something like that?」
Tou-san laughed.
He smiled warmly and strongly, which is directed toward me.
「……It was for you. It’s only sometimes but, I can see the future. I saw a dream of Ork getting killed. That’s why, Mireille and I struggled to change the future. It would be better if we could win though. As expected from the calamity that will destroy the world. We couldn’t win even after borrowing the great sage’s help. Sorry.」
……So the great sage Merlin Enlight said that he was busy because he was also accompanying Tou-san and Kaa-san huh.
He should just say that to me if that was the case.
「Thank you.」
「I haven’t done anything for you to thank me.」
「No, the fate has changed thanks to Tou-san fighting. The demon king is weakened and I now have the time to heal my body.」
That fairy said 「Complete checkmate where even miracle of one in a million of chance doesn’t exist」. Perhaps Tou-san had also seen that future.
I was given the power to make that one in a million chance to happen from the fairy. But, I was also thinking that it won’t be enough with just that.
「……This is as far as I can go to help you. Do something about the rest by yourself somehow.」
「Of course. That’s why, tell me the information about this demon king as much as Tou-san know.」
「Your father isn’t only injured, he is about to die here, and yet you’re so unreserved huh.」
「Even though you absolutely would scold me if I’m actually acting reserved.」
「Exactly. It looks like that it was the correct choice to entrust Ork to them.」
Tou-san said that and roughly ruffled my hair. And then Tou-san told me about the demon king of the system that he fought.
Information is power.
And then, when fighting the full powered Tou-san who is the strongest creature in the world, surely the demon king wasn’t able to do something like holding back.
That’s exactly why I’m able to learn about almost all of his cards here.
(I see, I won’t be able to win against that.)
If I encountered that guy before he fought against Tou-san, I wouldn’t be able to do anything.
I had no chance of victory even if I used all the cards in my hand, including the taboo among taboos, the Last Limit Release. There is no way Tou-san can lose if I can win by using that.
But, with the cheat that was given to me from the fairy and the information from Tou-san, I have one in a hundred million chances to win.
In that case…….
「Now how much I can increase this one in a hundred million chances to win.」
I hated gamble with low odd.
If I can’t win with the cards that I have in hand, I’ll increase my cards until I can win.
That’s all.
