Chapter 388 – Infidelity

The palace I live in was once where Drakar lived.
There was a large mansion in the backyard of the palace.
It was Liliana’s mansion.
I headed to her mansion.
The reason was to meet a prisoner whom he hadn’t paid attention to because he was busy.
The demon called Rapa, whom I took captive without a second thought, had great power.
There was no place to confine a being with that level of ability in the prison of the Great Demon Castle.
Making a restraining device is one way.
It’s not easy either.
There was no reason to invest such time and resources for her who might break up quickly.
In Liliana’s mansion, it was possible to simply imprison Rapha.
To be precise, rather than locking them in her mansion, it seems that they locked them in that unusual and dark space that Liliana had.
As I entered the mansion, Liliana slowly appeared out of thin air and greeted me.
“How is her condition?”
I asked Liliana, who came to meet me.
“You’re fine. Are you going to meet me?”
“Okay.”
Liliana opened up the black space.
I put myself into it.
Dark space.
A beautiful woman with pale blue skin, unlike humans, was sitting alone.
At first glance, her hair looked black, but it seemed to have a hint of blue.
“It’s you?”
Seeing me, she asked with a smile.
“…?”
“Are you the owner of that magic weapon?”
“Okay.”
Rather than being the owner… I created it… There was a complicated process of wearing the outer shell created by Chaos, but she didn’t feel the need to explain it, so she gave an appropriate answer.
– Phat!
After hearing her answer, she suddenly rushed at me.
I lightly accepted her mindless attacks.
I know he suffered internal injuries, but he looked healthy.
She stopped in a violent attack.
Because my big fist stopped right in front of her nose.
“Are you going to continue?”
She put on a slightly indignant expression, then lowered her fist as if she had given up her defiance.
“Hmph! What are you going to do with me?”
Certainly different from demons.
Completely defeated, but doesn’t show any signs of giving in.
“Well… Wouldn’t it be different depending on how you guys do it?
I didn’t catch her because she had a special purpose in the first place.
She is an unexpected harvest.
Martin’s reaction was good, so it can be said that he became a prisoner.
“I want to know about you.”
“We?”
“Yes, you demons.”
“As demons…Did you think I would tell you something? Why are you curious about us?”
“Why?”
Sooner or later, we will go to their residence.
I wondered if I could get some good information from this demon, so I asked.
I don’t know if I can get good information or not, but I needed to try.

“Have you heard any good information?”
After talking with Rapha, Liliana asked.
“Well…”
I couldn’t ask sensitive questions to Rafa, who was very wary.
Nothing special, just asking for trivial information.
How do you buy
What do you eat
Daily conversations like what do you do when you rest?
It was a really nonsensical question.
She’s not very tight either, so she answered me kindly.
If it’s a small harvest, it’s that she’s a pretty high-ranking magi pilot.
She asked how many pilots like her, but she didn’t answer that.
But she got the feeling that she didn’t have a lot of stuff like her magi.
It is also good information that Rapha is a being with the highest level of military power among the demons.
She said that if she was a dick among her demons, it was a serious problem.
“Unho! Are you here!”
As we are talking about Liliana and Rapha, Cristina shouts and searches for me.
Christina opens the door to the mansion and proudly enters.
“Unho! Here you are! I uncovered the secret of the Charles guys!”
“Charles? The secret?”
I had heard about the story of the Charles guys.
Maybe he was in Gromgal’s castle…
I wasn’t interested in it, so I’ve been paying attention for a while.
However, when they were mentioned in Christina’s mouth, she felt puzzled.
Christina took my hand and pulled it.
The place where I was taken by her was her throne in the Great Demon Castle.
Eileen, Flora, and Verna had already appeared in the Great Devil’s Audience Hall, where the throne was located.
But for some reason, Eileen and Flora’s expressions are worried.
“Come on, sit down.”
Cristina urges me to sit on the throne.
“…?”
Cristina seems to be excited for some reason.
Even though she was puzzled by her actions, she sat on the throne.
As I sat on the throne, Christina also sat down on the chair next to me and shouted.
“Let the sinners in!”
“…Sinner?”
3 men came in.
I couldn’t help but frown on my own.
It was because they were men, but they were wearing bizarre costumes called bikini armor.
Bikini armor…
Is Cristina plotting to get me into trouble?
If so, her intention was success.
Every time I look at them, the eye terror is serious.
“…What are they?”
“Master… Albert and Uncle Charles…”
Eileen, who was next to me, informed me of a shocking fact.
“…Those are those guys? Since when did you become such a pervert?”
The clothes are clothes, but I didn’t know the face because I was too old.
“S-Master…”
Charles calls me.
He looks at me with a haggard face and pitiful eyes.
I didn’t like it before… But hearing Master’s voice from such a pervert gave me goosebumps.
“…Put something on.”
Unable to withstand their eyeball terror, I ordered the ladies-in-waiting.
The ladies-in-waiting put a cloth on them.
Only then was I able to look at them properly.
“Go, thank you.”
It was done to protect my eyesight, but no matter what misunderstanding, the guys thanked me.
“Yeah…What do you mean these guys are sinners?”
If you are a criminal who terrorized my eyes, I admit it.
“Those guys have been brainwashed by the devil!”
“Brainwashed?”
“We’re brainwashing… That’s impossible.”
“We are innocent.”
I ignored Charles and his party’s protests and looked at Verna to see if Christina’s words were true.
“Christina is right. Traces of brainwashing were found in them.”
“Ugh! That can’t be!”
“Well, something must be wrong!”
At Verna’s words, Charles and the others made a shocked expression.
“Is that what Bloa is like?”
“Isn’t that so? If you listen to their stories, they say that the seal was broken and they were immediately subdued by him.”
I knew that Bloa had the ability to influence the minds of adventurers.
It is not impossible for Charles and his party to be brainwashed.
“What brainwashing?”
“It’s not a hint that’s so damaging to them. It’s brainwashing to keep them from giving up until they succeed in their mission.”
“…Is that brainwashing?”
“Such brainwashing is easy and frightening. They think it is their own will and make them obsessed with the act. On the other hand, suggestions that are opposite to their will do not work well. As a side effect, they become stupid puppets who just follow orders.”
I felt like I knew why these guys didn’t report a failure.
Suggestions with the same intention as one’s will make that will stronger.
Even though they failed in their mission, they had regrets and it seems to have been the reason that made them unable to give up their mission.
“That demon is surprisingly clever. I think he intended to torment them with hints like that, so that no matter how much pain he inflicted on them, they wouldn’t break their minds.”
“So are you okay?”
“It’s not that powerful brainwashing. By meeting Unho, there will be a clear perception that the mission has failed, and it will take time, but won’t it be solved in the end?”
Listening to Verna’s story, it didn’t seem to be a big problem.
Something is not enough to be called a sinner.
“So what’s the problem…? Did the Charles guys do anything wrong?”
“Yes! Those guys tried to sabotage our mission.”
I looked at Charles and the others asking if I was real.
“Oh, no.”
“Look at that! Those outrageous guys! They have a close relationship with the high-ranking devil and even though they tried to attack us, they just won’t admit their crimes!”
“Me, we never joined hands with the devil.”
“Mi, it’s not a close relationship.”
It seemed that he had been caught by Christina by mistake and was caught in a scandal.
Just admit it and apologize…
It seems that these four months have been caused by useless stubbornness.
“I’ll be sure to get your guy’s confession! Colonel Madeleine the witness!”
Cristina’s cry was followed by the sound of heavy footsteps outside.
-Thud. Thump.
“Witness? Madeleine?”
The door to the audience room opens…
‘Holly…’
An orc or a wild boar with heavy makeup, a demon wearing a bikini came in.
The tough hair, finely clipped on both sides, made us anticipate that it was female.
Seeing the hair protruding from the side of the piece of cloth that covered only the private parts, I closed my eyes tightly.
The guy came inside and he clapped and fought in front of me.
“Above, meet the great one.”
A voice that doesn’t know if it’s a man or a woman.
“This, what the hell is this…?”
I asked Christina, hiding my trembling voice as much as possible.
“It’s Madeleine.”
“Eh, Madeleine?”
“A high-ranking demon who was with Charles’ guys. They had a very close relationship with them. But Madeleine, unlike her guys, admitted her guilt. And she reformed herself and swore allegiance to me.”
Chu, loyalty? Are you using that as a load?
Cristina, you have a good stomach.
“By the way! Charles, Albert, Henri… These guys are embarrassingly saying they have nothing to do with Madeleine, and are strongly denying the charges!”
If you admit it and apologize, it will be over.
But I felt like I could vaguely understand why these guys were stubborn.
