Chapter 29: A Season Spent in Hell (1)
“I’d like to request for some leisure time.”
I spoke in an incredibly serious tone.
The time was the middle of the day. The location was My Pretty Home, in other words, my Demon Lord Castle. Despite it being late summer, the cavern provided an appropriately cool environment. Even though I was spending my summer in the greatest summer resort, also known as my dungeon, I constantly felt somber.
“……Pardon me?”
Lapis, who was now in charge of managing things like the collective cultivation of black herbs, looked at me with a gaze that appeared as if it were asking what nonsense His Highness Demon Lord was saying now.
“I want to rest. I want to play. I want to laze around.”
“Haa…….”
She now looked as if she were looking at a piece of trash. Despite this, my sincerity didn’t change one bit. Before I knew it, three to four months have passed since I found myself in the world of Dungeon Attack. I’ve been working earnestly all that time. Excessively earnestly.
I dealt with adventurer parties, mined for ores, disguised myself as a merchant, and scouted a talent. As someone who was no different from being unemployed in my original world, this was more than enough work to make me feel as if I’ve overworked. To be honest, I actually belong to the type of people who are rather far away from the adjective earnest.
