Chapter 207 – Chapter 207 ― The Demon King (2)
Episode 207 ― It’s the Demon King (2)
“You are here.”
Sermo, the human bishop of Berat, did not hide his surprised expression towards Helen who canceled the transformation magic, or to be more precise, Roan who was sitting with a human face.
It was as if he showed his true heart with his expression, saying, “You’re really going.”
“Then could you give me a minute?”
At Roan’s words, Sermo’s expression became serious.
“For a moment… Will it become?”
“As I said before, it will take a day or two. A shorter time is possible if you wish.”
Sermo looked at Helen’s expression once, as if confirming the truth of her words.
As she nodded her head, the bishop made a face of disbelief.
“It’s even harder to believe it’s not a lie.”
He scratched his head shyly.
“I’ve packed a lot just in case, but it’s time to unpack.”
Hearing this, Roan smiled softly.
“You pack only what you need.”
“Then can I stay for a day or so?”
“No problem.”
Roan glanced at Helen.
When Bishop Sermo comes to Evirzio, it will be difficult for Roan to accompany him and guide him. After all, he is the main character of the newly married festival yesterday.
Grunent, Aina, and Helen will mainly be responsible for guiding and protecting the bishop.
“Then, see you near the castle gate in two hours.”
Sermo nodded her head, and Helen, who had heard Roan’s words beforehand, put on her transformation tool again and boldly headed for the chapel.
Her deepest memory was when she prayed to the Goddess in the chapel.
“… Alone at last.”
First time!
Walking around the streets of Sprouse, the main background in the game, alone like this.
The threat of the hero has definitely decreased, and the characters that were targeted for attacks now remain by my side as wives, concubines, or escorts.
Roan was more comfortable than ever before walking around Spross, the background of the game.
Is this sanctity…
A little excited, Roan looked around, but without looking too country, headed to the inn where he was supposed to meet the hero.
In the game, I move my steps along the way I have always walked. Even the shape of the building and the graffiti on the wall are similar to the game, so there is no need to worry about getting confused.
It’s still morning.
There was no one to be seen in the shabby inn alley lined with bars and inns.
Rather, because of that, Roan made a worried expression.
In the game, I just thought ‘because it’s a game’, because I really couldn’t believe that the hero was living in such a shabby place.
‘Perhaps, a trap… ?’
My steps slowed down.
But last time, when she saved people from being attacked by demon beasts near the castle wall, her reaction to Roan, her crush she had, was genuine.
Even the warrior’s words didn’t seem to have any black intentions.
That made Roan even more unbelievable.
‘No, this poor?’
Roan knew where the ‘Blue Pony Inn’ they were staying at was.
End of the alley,
The most shabby and narrow place.
Of course, compared to the price, the bed is clean, talented mercenaries come and go, and the food is delicious, but that’s always ‘compared to the price’.
Knowing how much a mercenary earns by completing a request in the guild, and how skilled mercenaries Hero Anmut and Urtellia were, it was incomprehensible to Roan.
“Are you there?”
“You are here!”
It is the time when the strong spring sunlight briefly hits the alley around noon. Roan, who had been walking with the sun on his head, frowned as he adjusted to the suddenly darkened interior.
And a happy-looking voice from there.
It’s Urtellia.
She approached Roan with a quiet, quick gait like a cat beast.
“You came earlier than expected.”
“Nice to see you again.”
“Oh my goodness… !”
Leaving Yurteria wrapped around her cheeks, Roan greeted Anmut, who was sitting in her chair and wiggling her tail under her cloak.
“You’re welcome. Someone who doesn’t fit in a place like this.”
“It’s kind of familiar.”
Roan looked around the first floor.
An image similar to those places that appear as tavern background pictures in ordinary RPG games.
Of course, it is much darker than the picture and smells old, but the owner is diligent and the cleaning is clean.
“It would be rude to say this, but I heard that you guys are good mercenaries. Couldn’t we live in a more convenient place than here?”
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“Just curious.”
Then, the hero looked at Urtellia with strange eyes. Roan read the meaning of his actions with ‘politics’.
Those eyes are like sighs.
“There’s a water attendant.”
“Grubber?”
And the Sujeonno jumped up.
“What nonsense! I said I had a purpose!”
It seems that all of the money management is done by Urtellia.
“What is the purpose of saving money while saving money for living? Oh, if it’s burdensome, you don’t have to say it.”
“Well, if Aisen-sama wants to know…”
Last time, when they showed up late and tried to save people, Urtellia was told how much the number of monsters was and to add more to the price of the potion.
I don’t think there was such a gimmick in the game.
“Someone… I want to find it.”
Lightning seemed to strike Roan’s head.
However, as if not knowing how he felt, Yurtellia sat down on her chair and continued answering hesitantly, tapping her feet.
“There is a person who has received grace, but he is not easy to find. So I’m saving up some money.”
Red concentric circles.
Roan asked, narrowing his eyes.
“It seems very far away. The person you are looking for.”
“It’s difficult because I don’t even know where you are.”
Su-in, a cat with people looking for each other.
How often can such a coincidence happen?
Well, the war has been going on for years. Local battles, which are difficult to call a major war, happened as usual on the border.
A world without cell phones and televisions. Families who were separated when they were very young often find themselves unable to find them…
“The Suin I know is also looking for someone. She’s the one I was talking about last time. Come to think of it, she is an excellent wizard.”
“… Yes?”
Urtellia raised her head.
The large eyes that were hidden under the large hat widened.
Her eyes are light brown, close to gold.
It is different from the Count.
Her black hair is also different from the count’s, but it can be dyed as many times as you like.
“She ranges from twenty-nine to thirty. They say she lost her brother when she was young.”
Urtellia’s hands trembled.
Anmut quietly reached out her hand and took Yurtalia’s hand.
“They said it happened almost fifteen years ago. But at the time, she said her brother was much younger than her. She said there is a difference of nearly ten years. She must be twenty at most now.”
Then, Urtellia’s face turned pale.
It felt sad
A sigh that didn’t come out of her words seemed to choke her throat.
“So I asked your age. I wonder if After all, she is a cat beast, and there are many cat beasts in the world, but she is one of the few I have ever mixed her words with.”
“Name…”
Yurtellia sat there stunned for a moment, then she murmured.
“Maybe his name is…”
“Name?”
Oops.
Roan frowned at her.
Come to think of it, I don’t know the count’s name.
Among the demons, not knowing the name is not a big deal. Nickname, nickname. Because those things are more natural world.
However, it cannot be said that it is Evirgio’s Northern Baekryeongju dark antelope. Roan made a puzzled expression.
“Ask me later.”
“… Looking for a person instead, do you not know the name?”
He made an expression that the hero was strange. I felt my alertness rise, but I had nothing to say.
What you don’t know is the truth
Anmut glared at Roan with sharp eyes,
Roan shut his mouth,
When Yurtalia is wiggling her fingers with her head bowed under her hat.
“How did you come at this hour?”
A gruff voice was heard.
The moment Roan looked up and looked at the protagonist of the voice,
[Message: The function of the facility deployed in Sprouse is unlocked!]
[Message: Visit the facility shown on the map and see what it does!]
[Message: Visitable Facilities — Bar]
[Message: Visitable Facilities — Inn]
A stream of messages obscured his vision. That made him look as if he was staring blankly at the innkeeper.
But the innkeeper crossed his arms and brusquely shot at him.
“Eating is difficult if you are not a guest. Come later in the evening.”
It looks just like the game!
Up to the size of a pea under that nose.
Roan looked at him for a while before replying.
“Do not worry. I’ll just talk and get up.”
“It’s true, people who aren’t even customers are messing around in the store.”
He muttered and disappeared inside.
I don’t want you to be a guest.
Seeing her master disappear, Yurtellia raised her hand from her fuss and unleashed her magic.
Quick and neat operation of magic attribute.
Asked Roan, who could tell that magic was moving, but couldn’t accurately grasp it.
“What kind of magic is it?”
“Mute the sound, disturb the conversation.”
“Disrupting the conversation?”
“I can’t read the contents by looking at the shape of the mouth.”
“Ah.”
Roan shook his head.
“I was contemplating whether or not to accept Aisen-sama’s proposal. But if there is a beastman who asked Aisen-sama like that, I would like to meet him. There’s nothing wrong with getting to know someone who is a cat.”
Those words must have been quite surprising given Yurtellia’s usual personality.
Anmut opened her eyes wide.
“But, of course, I need money to go to Evirzio. That’s why I’m collecting money like crazy. I just caught a big number. She said she would pay enough to retire. That’s why I can’t give up easily…”
Urtellia slurred her words.
Roan’s forehead was slightly dented, and it was Anmut who took over her words.
“Are you thinking of making a lot of money?”
“… Money?”
Suddenly make money
Let’s hear it
“What is it?”
Then, both of their faces darkened.
The excited emotions on Urtellia’s face,
The wariness reflected in Anmut’s expression completely disappeared.
Only sincerity remained for the two of them. Roan felt that something was wrong as he saw the magical energy starting to gather in Urtellia’s hand.
Just as he, too, began gathering his holy power to use the ‘Star Cloud Shield’, Anmut opened her mouth.
“You can betray the Demon King.”
“… What?”
Roan’s face twisted.
Anmut said in a calm voice.
“We received a request to kill the Demon King. That’s enough money for both of us to retire, and for Leah to find a benefactor as she wishes. Please help with that Then we will also help with any other request that Aisen-nim wants.”
Despite the face undergoing a transformation tool, his intense emotions were inevitably revealed.
Roan looked at Anmut and Urtellia alternately with an absurd expression.
“The human world… You must be doing something in Merde. We are mercenaries already established in Merde. Anything can help. How are you?”
No…
Suicide is a bit too much…
Roan laughed bitterly.
“That’s a bit… Hmm, that’s a good suggestion, but it’s going to be tough. Sorry for the refusal.”
Hearing the words of refusal, Yurtalia bit her lip hard as if making up her mind.
Considering her likability over +40,
It would probably be a very painful decision to block Roan’s mouth with magic.
“Why… Is it?”
In response to Anmut’s extremely nervous question,
Roan replied as if he was losing his mind.
“I can’t betray myself.”
