EX-Brave Wants a Quiet Life - Chapter 101

“I see. Anyway, are you sure you’re not going to the castle?”

“We don’t have a castle. I’m living in a different house.”

‥‥‥ Ah, that’s right. As soon as I defeated the Demon Lord, the castle collapsed, right?

“Mmm… I’m sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologize, okay? On the contrary, I’m grateful. The castle is so big that I’ve gotten lost in it several times, crying and wandering. I’m so relieved to have it torn down.”

The former demon king and Alice don’t get along in many ways.

I gave Alice a tour of the village.

Most of it was still under construction, but she listened to my explanation with a nod.

Then we came to the orphanage.

“Those are the children of the demon tribe, Kaya and Misa.”

“Well, there are also beastmen and elves.”

Alice looked at the children with kind eyes.

“After all, it takes a good environment and education from an early age to eliminate discrimination.”

“Yes, well, that’s what the Holy King is trying to do.”

“The Holy King. I’m not allowed to enter the Holy Land, but I’d like to meet him.”

And…

“Did you call me?”

“Hyahh!?”

We were both surprised when Mirage suddenly popped up from behind us.

Alice was so surprised that she even fell on her butt.

“I don’t know why you’re coming out of nowhere! When did you get here?”

“Just a few minutes ago. I heard that a new Demon Lord was coming. Besides.”

“Mira, a bath would be nice.”

“No, it’s only been a month since I took a bath because I’ve been confined.”

Behind me, there was a girl with shaggy hair tied up with a rope.

“Mirage, who is it?”

“I told you before, the evil god Menarti, the reclusive goofball with no motivation.”

At that moment, the air froze.
