When he ascended the inn’s stairway, there was a maid in the corridor.
That being said, they weren’t an employee of the inn.
It was the Magimatic Maid Rose.
When looking at her from the front, his eyes would always go to her huge breasts but……When looking at her from behind, she was wearing a peculiar maid outfit(?) that had her back completely exposed.
There was a reason for that attire, and it was because she had her 《Dimension Transcending Apparatus》 equipped on her back.
It seemed to be an apparatus meant to call out the 《Magimatic Soul》 from something called the 《Void》, which was a space-time that was not part of this world.
She was powerful without equal, but was abnormally heavy.
Also, normal healing having no effect on her was a weakness of hers.
Due to damage in the previous battle, there was a crack on her left arm. It would have been a serious wound if she were a person of the Races, but she was a machine.
「Thank you for your hard work, Master.」
「Does your arm seem fixable?」
「If I am able to stay by Master’s side, something of this level does not even count as damage.」
It seemed like she answered the question, yet didn’t answer it.
Diablo breathed a sigh.
「So it really does seem like it would be better to return to the maintenance bed.」
「……Yes.」
Rose nodded looking regretful.
He placed a hand on her shoulder.
「Get it properly fixed. Rose, your strength will be needed once again.」
Her body started to tremble.
「Ahh, how incredibly kind! And yet, in exchange for that, this Rose……To think that I would bear injuries from fighting an opponent of that level! It is nothing but shameful, so please insult me to your heart’s content.」
「No, well……」
She says “of that level”, but the opponent from a few days ago was the Great Demon King Modinalaam. On that night, there was even a defensive battle to protect the town from the rampaging Great Demon King.
Since he hadn’t seen her fight during that time, this was just from hearsay, but it seemed that Rose played a furiously vigorous role in it.
「In any case, rest.」
She made a very deep bow.
After that, in a very rare occasion, Rose was the one to change the topic.
「Fufufu……Master, you gave the 《Marriage Rings》 to the two of them.」
「Ugh!? Well, that is true but……」
This Magimatic Maid held loyalty towards Diablo going to an eccentric level of it. It was to the point that he somewhat felt that there was something wrong with her.
If she were to learn that “Diablo got married”, who knows what she would do──is what he was being vigilant against, but she was surprisingly calm about it.
「What an auspicious occasion this is! I must give my blessings to the two of them.」
「O, ou……」
「Fufufu……」
He had an uncomfortable feeling.
Rose had sworn absolute loyalty to Diablo, and would act only thinking of Diablo’s happiness.
However, the “Diablo’s happiness” that she thought of was not necessarily limited to the happiness that Diablo himself desired.
He carefully asked a question.
「──Rose, answer me this. Are you giving blessings from the bottom of your heart to my getting married to Shera and Rem?」
The machine doll tilted her head while being expressionless.
「I am unable to understand what Master is saying. Right now, the pair of 《Marriage Rings》 is equipped to that Pantherian and that Elf.」
「Heh?」
Diablo involuntarily felt like raising his original voice.
「Therefore, the ones getting married, are those two. It truly is an auspicious event.」
「What did you saaaaaayyyyyy!?」
「It seems that only the two of them went on a journey. Could it be a honeymoon. How envious. Master, together with this Rose, let us withdraw from society in the 《Demon King’s Labyrinth》!」
Diablo grabbed Rose’s shoulders and shook her.
「Oi! Are there anymore 《Marriage Rings》!?」
「……Master only kept one set in the storehouse.」
「Kuh……That’s right.」
In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, 《Marriage Rings》 were pointless items that no effect whatsoever.
Therefore, it was proof of being a riajuu that only couples equipped.
It was a sickening item, but since Diablo was a collector as well, he acquired only a single set and threw it into the storehouse.
──It’s because I didn’t think that I would be summoned to another world and end up giving rings to two people.
There was no way he would be able to predict the current situation from when he was playing the game.
「I thought that I had gotten married to the two of them but……」
「My Master has not gotten married to anyone. However, only those two have gotten married. It is an auspicious event.」
「Uugh……」
Diablo held his head in his hands.
In that case, wouldn’t that mean that the Greenwood Kingdom has once again turned to a situation where it has lost its king? Or could it be that Rem is now king? Is it fine if the king is a woman?
What would Rem think if she learned the truth?
Various things rushed about in his mind.
In conclusion──
I, am no good.
「Uwaahh!」
Rose nestled close beside Diablo as he got down to his knees.
「Master, you have Rose. This Rose, even without the need for a 《Marriage Ring》, will swear loyalty only to Master for all eternity.」
For a moment, he almost felt touched.
However, it wasn’t that kind of problem.
Even in this worthless, hikikomori NEET, invalid Gamer, a small sense of responsibility sprouted from this other world lifestyle.
He couldn’t just leave the matter about the Greenwood Kingdom alone, and he didn’t want to disrespect Rem’s feelings either.
「Now that it’s come to this──I will do something about it before it gets exposed!」
He used all of his strength to declare something pathetic.
Rose displayed an expression of ecstasy.
「Even such a comical Master, is just wonderful.」
──Really?
He couldn’t really understand her sense of values.
In any case, he had to bring this damaged Magimatic Maid back to the 《Demon King’s Labyrinth》.
「Let’s go, Rose.」
「As you command, My Master.」
Shera and Rem had just left for the royal capital. For them to return, it would take half a month at the earliest. Until then, he needed to think of a means to deal with this.
