I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 448
◈ 448. [Side Story] Symbol
《So what were you talking about?》
Even though it was clear that he had heard all the conversation, the demon king dared to ask.
Even the Night Bringer didn’t back down.
“We were talking about your purpose.”
“Ho-oh. My purpose?”
“Recently, you don’t seem to be interested in destroying public interest. Throwing everything away and focusing only on the search for nightmares.”
The demon king continued to laugh as he read the ferocity of the Night Bringer. The Night Bringer fired.
“Do you have the right mind to destroy people? Who are you looking for in your nightmare?”
“… Let’s make it clear first, Black Dragon.”
Right after that, a clear darkness poured out from behind the demon king.
《There is no one who wants the destruction of this world as much as I do.》
The darkness was so strong that even the Black Dragon of the world, the Night Bringer, flinched. The Night Bringer eventually noticed the identity of the darkness.
Hatred.
It was a bottomless, deep, bottomless hatred.
“I cannot forgive this world. This world that did such a thing to ‘that person’ deserves to be drowned in my darkness.》
But the next moment.
The black hatred that was swirling disappeared without a trace.
The three nightmare corps commanders, who couldn’t even breathe, were finally able to breathe.
《But my revenge is for that person’s salvation.》
Suddenly, the Demon King was sitting comfortably on the throne as usual, with a mischievous smile on his face.
“If I can’t save that person, things like the destruction of the world mean nothing to me. However, if you save that person, salvation will be completed with the destruction of the human world.》
《… .”
《The royalties will inevitably end at some point, and you will advance when the time is right. Do not doubt and wait.”
The Night Bringer glared at the demon king with a furrowed brow.
so.
Who the hell is the demon king looking for in his nightmares… … ?
The demon king stopped talking about the subject and beckoned toward the white night, the great emperor of magic.
“white night. In the great flood of the approaching winter, you march out. Prepare in advance.”
Baekya quietly bowed down and accepted the command.
《… . >
The Magician Grand Emperor thought in his face covered by the talisman.
It’s a pity for the black dragon who wants to be destroyed so much. There would be no turn over to him.
Because she wants the world to disappear as well.
***
The very next day after the Council of Kings.
thud!
At the gathering of my heroes, I pounded the blackboard with my fist and shouted.
“It’s a flag contest!”
“… ?”
Everyone looks at me with bewildered expressions.
It was Lucas who finally asked.
“yes?”
“The flag contest is called the flag contest!”
After spitting out the same word three times in a row, I explained it only then.
“Now that a new alliance, the World Defense Front, has been launched, of course there should be a flag representing that alliance!”
It could be a pointless ritual or a bluff, but no, the flag is pretty important! This is said to remain in history!
“Besides, our monster front doesn’t even have a separate flag… !”
I jerked toward the hotel. All the heroes saw it.
The flags of each country and faction visited this time are proudly fluttering… … Only our Kaiju Front had no original flag.
Instead, the imperial flag engraved with swords and roses is shaking vigorously.
Then Evangeline tilted her head.
“Until you took office, the Southern Front used the flag of our family. Shall we lend you our family flag again?”
It was as it was said. Originally, the cross family flag was used as a symbol on the southern front.
Because the Cross family has been in the position of Marquis for generations.
However, in a situation where the current lord is nine, it is impossible to take away the symbol of the Cross family. More than anything.
“no! Your family flag is no fun!”
not cool!
The cross symbol of your cross family, with an X drawn insincerely inside the empty square border! This is what you don’t get even if you give it!
“Wow! too bad! You idiot!”
Evangeline ran out crying.
Everyone was in a cold sweat, but I didn’t care and continued talking.
“It’s a contest! Please actively submit your ideas!”
Currently, I have pulled out a temporary flag, but this flag, which is bordered with red embroidery on a black background, is empty in the middle.
I was thinking of getting a contest for a symbol to fill the middle. Or it’s okay to completely renew the border.
“Neither the Kaiju Front nor the World Defense Front represent any particular country or ideology. We gathered purely to save this world from destruction.”
Of course, if you dig deeper, the kings of each country had something they wanted, so they gathered under my command.
Anyway, the ultimate goal is the noble cause of preventing the destruction of the world and protecting everyone.
“Let’s receive the design of the flag that will symbolize our monster front and, by extension, the world defense front.”
However, no one seemed to be as serious about the flag as I was, and everyone seemed to be very squeamish.
Big! Clearing my throat, I continued.
“A small prize is given to those who come up with good ideas.”
“Goods? What kind of product is it?”
Evangeline, who ran outside, stuck her head in and asked. It’s like he’s such an arrogant guy.
I folded my arms and unveiled the product in a voice that gave me the utmost strength.
“Well, of course, the greatest honor that he drew this flag that will go down in history… .”
“Ooooooh!”
Boos poured in immediately.
I added with a sigh.
“… And one year’s salary immediately paid as a bonus.”
“Waaaaaa!”
Applause poured in.
The heroes jumped out of their seats with bright faces and gave a standing ovation. These money-missing bastards! Please take care of some more honor!
Evangeline, who had come back inside and spread out the drawing paper from where she came from, raised her hand again with a brush and asked a question.
“From when until when is the contest period?!”
“I don’t have that much time.”
Within a few days, we must depart for the ecliptic. No longer can delay what Fernandez is about to do in New Terra.
“therefore… The deadline for the flag contest will be received by tonight.”
“Ehh?!”
“That is so urgent!”
I added a word to the heroes who spit out the sound of bolmen.
“Instead, the prize money will be paid immediately this evening.”
“As expected, it is best to come up with ideas right away!”
“Jooh! Let’s try drawing it right now!”
After a while, the heroes were drawing flag designs on the drawing paper provided to each of them while squatting or lying down all over the mansion.
‘… It’s like some kind of elementary school drafting contest.’
I slipped behind my back to see what the heroes were drawing. Let’s see.
Lucas first.
I was drawing a very metaphysical three-dimensional structure on a large piece of paper. I groaned and approached and asked.
“It is a very philosophical picture… What did you draw this on?”
“It is the face of the lord.”
“… .”
… oh is this me?
If you look closely, this round thing looks like an eye… … The snoring that came out was snoring… … Why is the mouth stuck here… … ?
Anyway, let’s evaluate it.
“… You are innovative.”
I don’t know why I had to innovate my face.
I just touched my face. Fortunately, everything is stuck in place.
“The symbol of the front here is the lord himself! Who but what will represent the front here?”
words are good Intention is also good. If it wasn’t for Picasso’s < Weeping Woman > that I drew so hard.
“This is an expression of my full loyalty, lord! By all means, this is the symbol of our front!”
“Uh ok… I’ll consider… … .”
Loyalty is your best The picture looks like you’re the worst, but… … .
Still, if you are full of loyalty, it’s okay.
I patted Lucas on the shoulder and said, ‘Finish it!’ Lucas was excited and became more engrossed in the painting.
let’s see next
Right next to me, Evangeline was squatting and drawing something hard. I approached and looked at it and said,
“Oh what. It’s pretty reasonable, isn’t it?”
Unexpectedly, your drawing skills are quite good.
When I admired it a little, Evangeline raised her nose with a hehehe.
“I’ve been drawing since I was little! If the article hadn’t been published, I would have been angry.”
“Oh my… .”
… The problem, apart from her drawing skills, was Evangeline’s consistent and opposite taste.
Floral decorations and frills are drawn on the flag against a strong hot pink background… … Really, I have a certain taste.
In the middle of the flag was a man who looked like the main character of a romance cartoon from the 1970s and 1980s.
I asked, feeling a bit ominous.
“… Just in case, I ask, who is this?”
“Yeah, of course you’re a senior! The symbol of the wire here is you, right? They look exactly the same as if they were reflected in a mirror, right?”
“… .”
I looked at the pictures of Lucas and Evangeline sitting next to each other.
It’s the same subject, but why such a hellish difference… … ?
“Honestly, my flag is the prettiest! Looks like the prize is already mine! Mmm ha ha ha ha!”
“… that’s right Work hard until completion.”
I patted Evangeline on the shoulder and hurriedly left the seat. The duo of knights are out of taste! When was it not!
I saw Junior not far away.
Junior lay down in the hallway with the little wizards under his command, each working hard on something.
“Hmm… ?”
Let’s go closer and see. Intricate magical patterns are etched into the flag.
“Junior, what pattern is this?”
“Ah, Your Highness.”
Junior laughed bashfully and explained.
“I was looking at putting an actual magic scroll inside the flag that can be used as an attack magic if necessary.”
“… Attack magic?”
“And if we tie the flags of the five of us in a row like this, the magic effect is amplified… pop!”
Let
Junior put five pieces of drawing paper in a row to show them in real life !
“what?”
The magic plots drawn by the wizards began to function as actual scrolls and emit light on the spot… … .
“Wowaaaagh! Magic activates!”
“Stop! Stop it quickly!”
“No, how do I stop this?!”
“Erase it with an eraser!”
“But I worked hard on it, eh!”
I quickly ran away from the mad wizards.
Use a flag as a scroll?
Practicality is good, but… … In the first place, the flag has no practical purpose… … . Above all else, if you don’t want to go through the trouble of embedding this pattern on the flag, just draw it on plain paper… … .
I was glad I didn’t have to make cumbersome excuses.
I heard an explosion behind me and the mages screaming and flying away, but I tried to ignore it. Magic is dangerous.
“Um… .”
At the entrance of the mansion, Damian was drawing something on his drawing paper with a pensive expression on his face.
“Damian, what do you draw?”
If you are Demian, the living conscience of our monster front, you will be different from the idiots in front, right? As I approached with some expectation,
there was a chubby hamster drawn on the drawing paper… … .
“… .”
… huh? Is this the symbol of our front?
Damian, who was breaking out in a cold sweat while looking at me who had hardened, explained with embarrassment.
“I drew a hamster plump that I raise… .”
“… .”
Oh, the hamster that I had been raising since last year. You still seem to be doing well.
“But why did you draw this friend… ?”
“So that… .”
Damian, who was hesitant, pushed his picture forward and appealed strongly.
“Your ears are cute!”
“So what does that have to do with our battle lines!”
A symbol that can represent our frontline! I want you to draw a symbol! Now even the shitty hamster rolls out!
‘Every time the contest is held, the judges cough up blood, so I think I know why.’
It means to understand the author’s intention! Don’t draw as you like!
“Podong… It’s cute… … .”
Leaving behind Damian, who was drawing a hamster with his shoulders drooping, I set out to find other heroes.
Throughout the mansion, heroes were seen engrossed in their work.
The main party has been wiped out, but there are still other parties left!
‘I’m sure the other kids are just fine?!’
I believe you guys! Let’s get one useful thing! Just one!
