I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 124
124. The world’s protection (1)
I swallowed the gossip. However, as always, the quick-witted adjutant noticed what was being said and responded immediately.
“no. “We just added blood flavor to make it feel like real blood.”
“No, just snow is enough, so why bother making something like this…”
“Because war is greatly affected by climate and atmosphere. It was developed in the hope that it could be useful when fighting a war with the human world. Rather, Demon’s hands…”
They weren’t meant for children’s toys. Well, that means you need the devil’s permission.
‘More than that…’
I followed Ed’s gaze and saw my fingertips dripping with blood.
I was only trying to cut the stick, but I ended up cutting off my finger as well. It’s only a small cut, but it’s unlikely that the cut will come at this much…
“Daemon!”
…is it coming?
There is a certain level of professionalism, but you come to work for something that is nothing special. Aren’t you tired?
I looked at him with bewildered eyes and was about to put my injured finger in my mouth when someone grabbed my wrist.
“…Ed?”
“Ben, let’s get him treated. “The cut was much deeper than I thought.”
He wraps his injured finger in a handkerchief and presses it firmly as if to stop the bleeding. My eyebrows naturally furrowed from the tingling pain.
Ben hurries over and Ed stands up, removing his handkerchief. The blood that had stopped began to gush out again. Ben clicked his tongue softly.
“I can’t use magic, so I think I’ll have to disinfect it first… stop the bleeding, and sew it up.”
“I want you to treat Demon properly so he doesn’t end up putting blood in his mouth.”
Ed, who had taken out the communication console from his pocket as if he had received a call, spoke to Ben and immediately connected the communication console and left.
That was done like that on purpose. You didn’t give Ben a chance to retort.
Ben also trembled as if he felt unfairly treated, but he was unable to give up his strong professional spirit and began to treat his wounds with a grin.
Oh, come on…! Now wait a minute. I wasn’t under anesthesia…!
‘…Hmm, your expression is grim.’
Let’s just keep our mouths shut.
Ben, who had been mesmerized by the rare experience of stitching up a wound raw without anesthesia, carefully tied the knot for a moment, then trembled as if he had belatedly realized the fact.
Trembling eyes turned to me.
“Daemon, are you… alright?”
“Yes… well…”
If anyone saw me, they would think I was trying to kill them. I smiled detachedly to calm him down from his fear. It hurt, but it didn’t harm my body, and it was already over, so what could I do?
…But why are you shaking more?
“How…how could you make such a mistake?”
“Ben…?”
“I’m so sorry, Daemon! Even if I die, I have nothing to say!”
My doctor is disqualified…!
It was only after hearing those words that at first glance seemed like tears that I could understand why he was shaking. So he cannot forgive himself. As much as you have a strong professional spirit, you cannot tolerate mistakes like this.
“…It’s really okay, so there’s no need to apologize further. “If it wasn’t okay, I would have told you a long time ago.”
I couldn’t say it because I was scared. If it really hurt like I was going to die, I would have told you. My life is precious to me too.
I felt like he was going to hit his head and die right before my eyes, so I hurried to stop him, feeling burdened.
But Ben, who normally would have stopped at this point, instead raised his head and glared.
“okay! That’s it. Why didn’t you tell me sooner! “You must have been sick!”
I was startled by this ferocious attitude I was seeing for the first time and kept my mouth shut.
Ben must have understood my silence, so his high eyebrows dropped and he muttered gloomily.
“Daemon… you must not endure pain in front of your doctor. There are limits to the magic stone signal, and even that signal is unstable these days. Demon-sama, you have to express where you are uncomfortable or in pain for easy treatment with minimal pain…” “….” “
Sewn
up raw without anesthesia… How can Demon-sama endure that…?”
“….”
“Besides, it’s okay… without reprimand… isn’t this being too generous…”
Hmm, what should I do with this atmosphere?
He rolled his eyes for a moment and then held out a finger that showed signs of stitching.
“Are you not bandaging it?”
“ah…! No, you have to wrap it to prevent infection. “Just a moment…” As
Ben was carefully taking out gauze and bandages and wrapping them around the wound, Ed, who had finished communicating in the meantime, came up to me.
Looking at his extremely sorry expression, it seems like something happened. I don’t think it’s my fault.
“Demon, the Demon Lord is calling you. “He said there was a place he needed to visit together urgently.”
I knew it.
Since you didn’t do anything wrong, there’s nothing to complain about. When I nodded that I understood, he glanced at Ben and urged me sarcastically.
“Have you finished treatment yet?”
“…It’s just over. Take him with you. … Ah, Demon. If possible, avoid allowing water to come into contact with the wound.”
I nodded that I understood and started walking after Ed without delay.
When I arrived at the Demon King’s office and opened the door, the Demon King was holding his forehead as if he was in pain.
Unlike the irritated face that could be seen at first glance from the angle, the voice greeted me kindly as always.
He lowered his eyes motionlessly as if he had recognized the other person without even making face-to-face contact, and a delicate voice came out of his mouth.
“I’m here? Even though I heard that you were not in a good mood, I called you this to make you feel better. Sorry. Something urgent came up. “No, it’s more of a hassle and annoyance than an emergency.”
Finally he raised his head. The annoyance from earlier was gone and a calm face faced me.
Look at the change in facial expression. That’s creepy. After all, no matter how soft he looks, the devil is still the devil.
“I’m going to listen to the complaints and frustrations of the fairies. Of course, this is only from my perspective.”
“….”
“The land of the fairies is quite beautiful considering it is located in the abyss. “Unseasonable snow is okay, but this won’t be any worse for a change of mood.”
Come with me.
The Demon King grins and holds out his hand. I quietly looked at him.
‘If it were the devil I knew, ‘Would you like to go with me?’ ‘I would have used an invitation-like tone of voice.’
Words with no choice.
I stopped the meaningless snowball fight and placed my hand on top of his.
My perspective has changed.
***
It wasn’t my intention, but this confirmed that I was still in control of this game.
Then the emperor would be no different. I felt a little relieved.
‘He pretended to be relaxed.’
It seems like you’re so anxious that you even abandon the invitation-like tone of voice.
It’s probably because I heard that I was in a bad mood.
‘Are you worried that I might be on the emperor’s side?’
huh? Devil.
Are you afraid of losing this game?
***
The Demon King did not move straight to the land of the fairies.
[Oh, Demon King, Demon. What’s going on here…?!]
[Let’s go.]
[!?]
He went somewhere in the Demon King’s garden and almost kidnapped Hien, who was tending a monster plant, and took him with him. Finally, I saw a handsome man with blond hair, green eyes and pointy ears. I was able to.
“Yes, because of that demon, the seeds entrusted to us by the world have become contaminated. How are you going to take responsibility?”
Of course, as soon as he saw the Demon King, he began to question him with a fierce attitude.
I held my breath, rolled my eyes, and looked at the fist-sized seed he thrust in front of the Demon King. It looks like there are a lot of black stains, as if there is mold.
Is that contaminated with that demon energy? To me, it just looks like mold…
Before I could even finish thinking, black smoke seeped out of the seed. Oh shit. That’s right Magi.
“…Hien.”
The Demon King, who was listening expressionlessly to the protest of the man who appeared to be the Fairy King with his arms crossed, pointed to the seed with his chin.
“See if you can be revived.”
“yes yes…!”
Hien took the seeds with trembling hands and examined them with eyes shining with extreme excitement. The eyes, which had been shining with pure interest, quickly lost their vitality and sank, as if they were remembering the question the Demon King had asked, ‘whether or not it is possible to revive him.’
I could tell just by looking at their expressions.
It’s impossible.
“I don’t think it’s completely impossible to sprout and grow, but… there’s nothing we can do about it being contaminated with demonic energy.”
“…this.”
“Take responsibility.”
The Fairy King growls, twisting his beautiful eyebrows grimly.
The Demon King scratched his cheek as if he was troubled and asked another question as if to change the subject.
“Did you say the world entrusted it to you?”
“okay. We are the species that most respects the will of the world. That is why the world trusted and entrusted this seed.”
“Then there’s no reason to be so desperate.”
“what?”
The Demon King shrugged his shoulders.
“You said ‘respect’ with your own mouth. But why are you so obsessed with just one seed? “This goes beyond respecting the world. It’s as if your species is the world’s dog.”
“What nonsense!”
“It’s not nonsense, it just seems that way.”
Yes, that’s right, it’s not nonsense, it just seems like a provocation.
In order to survive, I slowly moved away from the Demon King. Judging from the Fairy King’s expression, it’s not a lie, it really looks like he’s about to kill someone.
However, unexpectedly, he did not explode with anger. Rather, he let out his anger with an earth-shattering sigh and muttered in a much calmer voice as if he had been liberated.
“Okay… Just like you said, our species is not the world’s dog, and the seed issue has already become irreversible, so let’s move on…”
Hien, who had been listening quietly, raised his hand.
“Well… then this seed…”
“…you can keep it.”
“thank you!”
I feel this every time, but this one is really not normal…
Hien is happy and carefully touches the seed, as if not feeling the absurd gaze of the leaders.
The Fairy King looks back at the Demon King in an attitude as if he can’t even see his surroundings. His eyes were so clear that even I could read them, and he was asking, ‘What is he?’ The Demon King, who could not have known that, quietly touched his forehead.
The Fairy King, who was silent for a moment, spoke slowly again.
“…I want you to do something to deal with the monsters first.”
“We are also hunting hard. However, the number is increasing more than the number being processed. If there was a hero, it would have been suppressed a little…” I
was nervous for a moment because I had seen the Demon King speak in that way before during a similar conversation during a meeting at the Demon King’s castle, but fortunately, he didn’t make any eye contact with me.
‘…No, but why do I have to be nervous and relieved?’
It’s unfair. It has nothing to do with me.
I completely took my eyes off them and took a few more steps to get further away from the demon lord. As a result, I naturally reached the lakeside and found something there.
‘what? What kind of person is…’
Demon? Fairy people?
Looking at the Fairy King’s attitude towards the Demon King, it is impossible for the Demon to be in the pond. So are you a fairy?
…It has fins?
“It’s a remark as if we’re waiting for the birth of a hero. You’ll have to hope that the hero doesn’t show up. Now that you think about it, have I ever told you that the world is on the brink?”
Oh, I laughed. You smiled at me, right?
I don’t know who you are, but your smile is quite elegant.
“Well, but I definitely remember I said this. ‘Anyway, the hero will appear and I will greet him. This is what has been happening until now. There is no reason to be afraid anymore.’”
“You…”
I intentionally ignored the bloody conversation between the leaders of the two races taking place on one side. If the fin man in front of me hadn’t popped out of the water, I would have been able to ignore it for the rest of my life.
Even though I was startled by the sudden movement, it was quite mysterious to see the fins transforming into human legs. Bruises. The exposed white feet step on the ground.
“The Demon King will die at the hands of the hero born this time.”
I was speechless at the noble and clear voice. Because I admire your voice? No, because of the content that attracted the attention of the two leaders.
What if he suddenly appears and says something that attracts attention like that?…
As expected, the eyes of the Demon King and the Fairy King are in this direction. Fortunately, the focus was on that woman and not me, but just being in the range of her gaze made me suffocate and I tried to sneak away again… but I was caught by the woman!
Hien hien! help me! I think you’re the best here.I’d rather be by your side!
‘…are you possessed by the seed?!’
