Chapter 208 – Chapter 208 ― The Demon King (3)
Episode 208 ― It’s the Demon King (3)
“I beg your pardon?!”
“… Shit.”
Urtellia exclaimed furiously and raised her body. The momentum made the chair roll over.
Anmut put his hand on the scabbard of his waist dance while holding harsh words in a distraught voice. He had seen that chair rolling around before… I remembered a leisurely thought.
But they were late anyway.
Because of the barrier, no sound leaks out
In a shabby and dim first-floor bar
Life overflowed to the point of tingling my bare skin.
It was such a strange atmosphere that it was difficult to breathe.
“Anmut. Stop the action Leah, don’t open your mouth.”
Without knowing where or how to start being surprised, they had to accept defeat.
What is aiming at Anmut’s neck
A dagger that came out of Roan’s arms before he knew it.
And a strange, very beautiful form of shield magic that Urutellia had never seen before was blocking his path.
“Jim didn’t come specifically to hurt you two. The demon king… I knew you were going to kill me from the start.”
It will look very out of shape… Thought Yurtalia, but she finally opened her eyes.
However, Roan did not even look around and turned the ‘detection’ and said.
“No matter how much I blocked my surroundings with magic, it’s nerve-wracking to talk about it in such an open place. The tavern owner is hesitating whether or not to come out from behind the counter. After all, I am the main enemy of this country.”
“… How.”
Anmut growled in a low voice, and his blue eyes blazed.
It was possible to guess the difference in skill with Roan to some extent, but it was anger and a sense of shame that came from not thinking that it would be this much.
“Let me explain where no one else can see. As you can see, I have a crush on you, and I don’t think you’ll ignore my story and kill me recklessly. May I lower this sword?”
Anmut did not avoid Roan’s eyes.
As he stared at Roan in silence, Urtellia’s surprised eyes narrowed. She nodded her head, keeping her mouth shut.
Roan slowly lowered the blade and secured the dagger in his scabbard. He even collected the ‘Star Cloud Shield’ that had spread out in front of Urtellia, and gazed at Urtellia in silence.
“… I didn’t want to go into a room like this.”
“Hmm. Are other methods okay?”
Roan shrugged her shoulders, but Urtellia kept her mouth shut, puffed out her cheeks and took the lead.
As soon as they climbed the extremely creaky stairs and entered the room where they were staying, Urtellia asked for her permission.
“I will close the barrier.”
“I allow it.”
Arrogant and short talk.
But the way he speaks is so natural.
Recalling everything he had seen while meeting Roan, Anmut glared at Roan with burning eyes the whole time.
“Are you in pain?”
Roan talked to Anmut about Urtellia, who developed magic. A little bit of life disappeared from the hero’s eyes.
But to him who was still silent, Roan continued his conversation casually.
“You seem to have realized the difference between me and me. But, you know. I never cheated or tried to harm you. And above all.”
After choosing a word for a while, Roan finally put down one of his worries.
The thing that always weighed on him when he came here. Thoughts like stones in my heart.
“You are strong. I know that.”
“Such a well-spoken word…”
“I am a person who does not have to lie to be polite to anyone. Anmut.”
Upon hearing Roan’s words, the hero’s eyes became more calm. The life that seemed to run amok was taken care of, and only the ice-cold coolness remained in the blue eyes.
“For whom would Jim say nice things? You have great potential. I live it up That’s why I was afraid.”
“I’m afraid… ?”
“I thought that one day he would come to slit my throat.”
A faint smile spread across Roan’s face, then disappeared.
“But I like you. It may be due to the influence of your ability, but it will be very reassuring if you have great growth power or a magician like Lia by your side.”
“… Thank you.”
“Did you know we were going to slit their throats?”
After completing her magic, Urutellia sat down casually on a straw-filled bed that was far from soft.
She sighed and threw off her large wizard hat. A white cat with brown stripes. Her ears pricked nervously among her long black hair.
“Well, considering the politics, you would have known right away that the king of Merde would make such a stupid decision.”
It seemed that Roan interpreted their predictions as the realm of political power. You don’t need to make any corrections.
“I’m glad though. Mr. Aisen… No, His Majesty had a chance to kill us at any time, but the fact that he didn’t do it means, as you said before, that he really liked us.”
“Hmm.”
“First of all, he was a great swordsman who could handle Anmut… What is that divine magic from earlier?”
Her tone was still sullen, but Urtellia’s light brown eyes shone brightly.
Roan suddenly remembered the count and smiled.
Do all wizards have a similar corner?
“I knew it was divine magic.”
“Because I didn’t feel the magic. Of course don’t… , No, I know it makes no sense for His Majesty to use divine power, but after all, only divine power is the only power within the body that produces an effect similar to magic. But also… That’s strange.”
Even though it is hard to accept it with the heart, it seems to be able to accept it with the head.
Talking to a wizard is convenient for this part.
“It is a divine magic that I accidentally learned. There will be an opportunity to talk in detail later.”
“Looking at it now, I even have the magic that always maintains it. Did you use an external tool for that?”
“Oh, um.”
Roan dispelled the magic of the transformation tool.
And,
The sound of the two breathing was heard.
“Uh…”
“Huh…”
Perhaps the reason was different.
“Horn… , You, really, demon lord…”
“No… You said you looked like this… ?”
In the midst of Anmut’s astonishment, Yurtalia’s eyes widened as if they were going to pop out.
The black, elongated pupils widened enough to fill her pupils.
“Under… Amazing, Great…”
She was staring at me blankly with a bewitched expression.
After clearing her throat a few times in her embarrassing heart, Yurteria slapped both cheeks and slapped her.
“Hot, no…”
“Sorry to startle you.”
“No, thank you!”
Suddenly, Yurtellia jumped up and bowed her head deeply.
“To think he had such a gracious face… Divine power dwells there for a reason.”
“… Hmm.”
“Even after seeing His Majesty like this, Sprouse III made such an absurd request. I almost committed a great sin to the world. You should have stopped, Anmut!”
“… Leah, wait, I…”
The snow leopard boy tried to protest, but Urtellia was busy admiring Roan’s face again.
Roan cleared his throat again and then asked them.
“I did end up being hated by the King of Merde. What did he say?”
“Nothing… There was none.”
Anmut answered with a confused expression.
“They just said they heard that we are prisoners and do assassinations. I want to end this war by assassinating the King of Evirgio.”
“… Hmm.”
“I promised 200 gold as a success fee.”
“Hoo.”
Roan’s expression, which had been flat, showed interest.
“I guess you guys really meant to kill me.”
“… Sorry.”
And Anmut’s apology was also unexpected for Roan. Looking at him with slightly widened eyes, Anmut quietly continued.
“I have no personal grudges. Rather, I was worried that the war would become sluggish after that…”
“Was money an issue after all?”
Anmut lowered his head.
At first glance, his face turned red.
The feeling conveyed is ‘shame’.
“Yes… What.”
“How are you now?”
“I finished the interim report. I’m thinking of canceling the request, but I need time to organize my life right now…”
“I’ll give you twice as much.”
“I will prepare it right now! How long shall we go?”
When Yurtellia jumped to her feet and answered, Anmut, who was still talking to her Roan, opened her mouth blankly and looked at her with her bewildered eyes.
“I don’t know if I’ll stay at Merde, but now I don’t have to do things that I didn’t like. If there is a client who calls more than anything, that is the priority!”
“The guild won’t allow it?”
Then, Urtellia smiled.
It was an obvious laugh.
“It was a lousy request and the fee was too much, so I couldn’t even go through the guild. You must have been prepared to be eaten.”
It’s hot.
Unlike Urtellia, Anmut opened her mouth a few times as if she wanted to say something, then stopped.
After going through them a few times, I think I can roughly see my personality. Urtellia has a loud voice and mainly makes decisions, while Anmut is the type who quietly watches from behind. It’s not that she doesn’t have a strong personality, but she seems to have a personality that yields to Urtellia.
Roan quietly took out a magic tool from his bosom. It was smaller than the palm of my hand and the size that could fit in the inside pocket of my coat. It was a magic tool specially made for communication by the count.
“Oh my God, so small?”
“It’s made by the acquaintance I was talking about earlier.”
“What a man! This structure is really hard to make like this… Didn’t you make backtracking impossible?”
As if she had been given her fancy toy, Yurtalia twitched with her magic gadget, her eyes twinkling.
“If you pour magic power into it, an alarm will come to the connected tool. It’s hard for a long time, but we can get in touch with each other for a few minutes. Report on this from time to time.”
“Are you sure you want to take us by your last name?”
Anmut asked seriously.
“Why? Why not?”
“How can you keep people around who are trying to take your life?”
“It’s not that I have a grudge.”
The young man’s tail wiggled left and right several times as if embarrassed. Roan grinned.
“Right now, I can’t compete. There will be no one who can defeat me in Merde and Evirzio. The Emperor is one who has no end to worry about.”
“Ha, that’s really cool… They say there is no one who can defeat you.”
At the sound of Urtellia’s small muttering, Anmut’s brow furrowed again.
“Anmut, don’t think about anything else, and quickly clean up that business you’ve been dragging on for a while.”
Business?
Did the warrior do business?
However, he only let out a small sigh at Urtellia’s scolding.
“… Okay.”
“Then, by delivering the goods and persuading you, the intended purpose has been achieved. I will go back.”
Roan got up from his seat and tidied up his clothes.
Perhaps thinking about the ‘business’ that Urtellia mentioned, Anmut woke up late and nodded to Roan.
In any case, he is a polite young man.
Right before Roan leaves. Urtellia asked an odd question.
“Me, Your Majesty.”
“What?”
“Aren’t you thinking of dating Soo-in?”
Roan stared blankly at his light brown eyes for a moment. I’ve seen those pricked ears even in the count. That’s sincere.
Roan laughed softly.
“It doesn’t matter if you are a prisoner or not. Any woman who has a crush on me is a precious object.”
“Kyaaak what to do!”
A scream erupted from Urtellia’s mouth, and Roan laughed lightly before activating the transformation tool and leaving the inn.
“… What a person.”
“That’s the emperor!”
“The afterglow of power…”
Anmut, who tried to explain how strong the swordsman felt, shut his mouth. Besides that, there were many other things to worry about.
“Really, are you going?”
Yurteria opened her axe eye.
“This is your chance! It’s a golden rope! Getting closer to the emperor will increase your chances of finding her sister! We’re going to sell now, but you’re really holding back because of your philanthropy, right? Say no. Or else I’ll be mad at you.”
The young snow leopard’s ears drooped slightly.
The people who depend on him are, of course, human beings, but they are also precious to him.
Although Yurteria did not understand, she was a human who brought a lot to him.
As she said, the devil’s identity and his proposal. It was nothing short of amazing. It’s a tempting word to anyone who sees it, but it’s not easy to abandon them willingly.
Anmut was troubled.
