《The Darkness In Your Mind》Volume Two "Kurai" - Ch 1 A manor for the new demon lord
Advertisement
The two cloaked people then open the doors to the manor and we all walk inside. We are greeted with a couple people in front of us who speak up as soon as we enter the manor "Welcome home my lord!" The room we entered is pretty big with some stairs in the middle of the room that lead to a second floor as well as a hallway to the left and a door directly at the top of the stair case.
I also notice two hallways on this floor as well, one to the left and one to the right. The people who greeted us are standing in front of us side by side. One is a man with light orange hair and a goatee wearing what seems to be some basic armor with short sleeves, the other is a man who has light green hair and a pair of glasses and he is wearing a suit with a grey tie.
One of the cloaked people nod at the man with orange hair and he nods back, then the cloaked person who nodded said "Well, we shall take our leave now, enjoy your new home." After the cloaked person said that, they both leave the manor and close the doors behind them. The man with green hair then says "Hello my lord, allow us to introduce ourselves."
The man with orange hair speaks first "I am Kevik Masel, I am a great spear-man and have a lot of strength and combat experience, I will protect you with my spear my lord." I nod and say "Nice to meet you, I will count on you to protect these two as well since they aren't as strong as us and I hold them dear to me since we are close."
He responds with a smile and a thumbs up "Very well my lord, I will do my best to protect them as well when they need it." I nod and then say "Thank you." After that, the man with green hair speaks "I am Lano Conver, I am a great merchant and I'm also great at finance, I will manage and keep track of things related to money my lord."
I nod my head and smile and then say "Ah, nice to meet you, I am glad to have you here, we will definitely need your help quite a bit, we don't have much money right now so we have to find a stable source of income, though I have an idea in mind, there is no guarantee it will work so I will ask you for advice later."

He says "Alright, I will think of some suggestions later just in case it doesn't work, thank you for telling me ahead of time my lord." I respond "No need to thank me for that, I just thought you should know since its going to be a problem if we don't find a way to make money eventually." He then says "Now then, let us start to show you all around so you know where everything is."
Lano pushes his glasses up stylishly with two fingers and then says "Alright we shall show you around this floor first, follow us." He nods at Kevik and then they walk to the left hall way and me, Lucy, and Will follow close behind them. After a minute we arrive at the first door in the hall that has a sign next to it saying (demon lord communication crystal)
Lano then says "Here you can contact any of the 5 demon lords that you wish to talk with, though there isn't a guaranteed chance that they will answer you because they can just ignore it, however Rein Strevus told us to say to you that he would answer anytime he is called by you, lets move on to the next room."
We all nod and then walk for another minute before coming across another door, Lano then says "This is the kitchen, we don't have a chef yet because Rein Strevus felt that you might want to find one yourself that would cook things that fit your tastes best, so for now we will have to cook ourselves until we find a chef."
I fake laugh a little and then say, "Well, I don't have a sense of taste but I'm sure these two would like to have some good food so we will look for a chef eventually, lets head to the next room now." After yet another minute we arrive at some double doors with a sign next to them saying (training room) Kevik speaks up and says
"This is the training room, here you can practice whatever you want rather it be swordsmanship or magic, the room has a spell on it so that it can withstand even extremely strong magic without being destroyed, and the dummies in there magically rebuild themselves a few minutes after being destroyed."

If I had eyes and happiness the eyes would be wide with joy because I got just what I needed, it seems Rein might have had someone eavesdropping on me to see what I wanted, I will have to thank him eventually. Kevik is visibly smiling and appears to be full of joy, it seems he wanted something like this just as much as I did.
Lano coughs and then says "Alright, lets move on to the next room." After again another minute we come across another set of double doors, these ones without a sign them. Lano then says "This room is the treasury room, it is for storing valuables and large amounts of money you want to stay safe and secure, it has a magic spell on it that prevents anyone with intention of stealing from entering."
The rest of the rooms we come across down stairs are a few guest rooms and some bedrooms for other servants like Kevik and Lano that I may gain, there is also a back door leading into a beautiful garden outside with a bunch of flowers and stuff. There was also a bathing room in the hall that can be used by anyone, rather they be male or female or other humanoids with no gender.
We arrived back at the entrance to the manor because it turns out that the hall ways were actually connected and looped around to the entrance. Lano says "Alright Kevik you can go rest now, I shall show them around upstairs since it isn't too big." Kevik then nods and walks toward the direction of the hallway where his bedroom is.
Lano then says "Alright now follow me and I shall show you around real quick since it's getting late." We then walk upstairs and stop at the door at the top of the stairs. Lano then says "This is your throne room, if you ever have guests over for important business you need to discuss, or you just want to be in silence to think, you can come in this room and relax on your throne."
Lano pauses for a moment before saying "Alright now lets move on to the hallway and show you to your bedrooms and a few other things as well." We all nod and then begin to walk down the hall way, it takes only a few seconds for us to reach the first door which has a sign next to it that says (strategy room)
Lano then says "This room is just in case you need to plan strategies for huge dire situations such as wars and what not, anyway lets move on to the next room." The rest of the hallway has a few empty bedrooms and it also had two specific bedrooms decorated and furnished just for Lucy and Will. They both went into their rooms once we arrived at them and go to bed because they were tired.
The last room in the hall way is at the end of the hall and has a pair of double doors with a sign next to them saying (Lord Dark's bedroom) Lano then says "This is your bedroom my lord, here you can relax and rest whenever you want, it is darkened to fit your ideal thought of how your bedroom should be based on how comfortable you looked in the darkness of that cave."
I smile and say "Thank you for showing me around, you may go now, I'm going to lay down for a bit since I can't sleep, I would like to rest though anyway." Lano nods and then pushes up his glasses stylishly again before saying "As you wish my lord, I shall take my leave now." He then walks away and I walk into my room.
I then lay down carefully on my huge new bed, If I flopped on it too hard I might either break it or go flying through it. I then somehow let out a huge sigh and say "It's been a long day, I just want to lay down now and think over all that has happened, I will talk to Lano about my idea for gaining money later, for now, it's time to rest."
