Called To Another World By An Evil Goddess
Chapter 299: Emperor of the Underworld
Under the lush trees I and Rin were baking some mushrooms that we found in the forest before, this mushroom has a good taste and the price is quite expensive compared to the meat on the market.
It's great to be able to pick it up in the wild for free.
"Fuwaah.. instead of this delicious, I am very grateful to be able to live until now," said Rin with bright eyes.
Though we already had money but he instead preferred food directly picked from nature, I think he rarely experienced something like this.
I ate my rations before I saw the clouds that had covered the sky, the rain was happening in this world as well so we had to find a place to shelter immediately.
After tidying up the luggage, we stepped foot into a place that I did not know at all, it was an uninhabited village.
Rin seemed to remember something.
"This is a village destroyed by traitors, we can't even find a single corpse here because that's why we just let everything go."
"The body was not found?" I repeated the words while Rin looked sad.
He continued.
"All these villagers were eaten by one of the demons from the rebel forces."
It was shocking that the demons were eating other demons. When I think about it, rain starts falling from the sky.
We both went into the house where it looked like some mushroom-filled food was on the table.
Rin seemed to wipe the tip of his eyes before turning his gaze towards the rain that fell, when you were sad this kind of scene always made you better a little.
Arriving at the capital the guards happily gave way towards us, at the same time a girl ran towards us both.
She had long pink hair tied in a ponytail, she was wearing a black uniform with a butterfly-patterned haori, on her waist seemed to be a neatly sheathed sword.
"I've been looking for you everywhere?"
"anywhere? Are you Rin's subordinate?"
"Whatchu mean? He is."
Before he answered my question his mouth was already covered by Rin's hand.
"Is there anything suspicious here? First the guards look too good and now the pretty girl appears as if she knows you."
"He's my friend, so our relationship is like a master and a servant."
The girl introduced herself.
"My name is Wisteria, I'm greeting Aoi."
Wisteria is the name of a flower, I think it is suitable for her, she is like a beautiful flower that appears to bring happiness to others who see her.
"Then I'll take you to the emperor's palace, please."
We were ushered by the Wisteria through the main street of the city, the palace was behind the city because that was the place a little far away.
"I hear the emperor is a woman?" I asked Wisteria.
"Truely, she was very beautiful and sweet.Rather than ruling with an iron hand she ruled with a flower hand."
"What flower hand?"
"Hands full of tenderness and fragrant scent when slapping you if you make a mistake."
"It doesn't mean the same thing."
"I'm just kidding, he's very kind.I'm sure in the future the emperor will be the one who brings the most change to the underworld."
"I think he sounds amazing."
"Thank God you think so" Rin was proud.
He must be someone who admired him a lot.
Arriving there we began to enter the corridor long enough to reach the emperor's throne, as if people were kneeling in reverence but I saw no one sitting on the chair.
"That's...why are you all on your knees?"
Wisteria answered me.
"It is only natural that we do this to the emperor, it has been a long time since he set foot back in the capital."
I glanced at Rin but she was not beside me anymore but had walked in front and sat on the luxurious throne.
"Don't tell me he's the emperor?"
