I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 72

72. Rolling Wheel (4)

Only then did Shiia raise her head.

Paul bit his lip once, looking at me with empty eyes that seemed to be looking at me but not seeing me, and a distorted smile appeared on his face. A bright voice came out with effort.

“come with me.”

Be friendly, but don’t become attached. Was it?

Paul sneered as he remembered the unspoken rules that circulated in the slums.

‘It’s already too late.’

A kid younger than me who I first found in the slums.

At first it was curiosity and interest, but soon it turned into a specific emotion that stuck to a corner of my heart.

Is this what it would feel like to have a younger sibling?

Dangerous. Even before I could define what I was feeling, Paul could instinctively feel it.

That’s why I kept my distance. Remembering the rule of not giving affection to others, I hovered around them and only occasionally helped them when they seemed dangerous.

Even if that were the case, what use would it be?

Now I know. What is this feeling?

I had already become attached to this child even before we distanced ourselves, but now there was no reason to ignore this child.

I extended my hand to Shiia.

“Let’s go together, Siia.”

“….”

“Please….

” “….”

There is no answer. Paul met Shiia’s eyes and slowly withdrew his hand with a stiff expression.

He lowers his head as if trying to hide his expression. My lips, which I had bitten hard to control my emotions, slowly softened after a few seconds.

“…okay.”

“….”

“You can either keep living like that. If you don’t go, you’ll only lose out.”

The voice could not be raised in the end and came out as a muttering.

After finishing speaking, Paul turns around. I walk as if I’m angry like I once did.

Unlike back then, Shiia didn’t chase after him and he never came back to help him.

Paul, who was walking slowly until the end, stopped in front of a man. As I was staring at the nose of my shoe with my mouth shut, a friendly voice fell over my head.

“You came alone? “Didn’t you say you were bringing your younger brother?”

Not being immune to affection, I eventually raised my head. When I met eyes that were as kind as my voice, tears poured out like a lie.

“Neuung…”

“…Oh my.”

Clear liquid drips at my feet. Daniel, startled, quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped Paul’s face.

He felt so bad that the child, who was still so young, had already experienced so much in this world and was quietly shedding tears without making a sound, so he couldn’t say anything and just wiped away the child’s tears before gently hugging the child.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” I said something wrong. I made a mistake. “I should have asked the question wisely, right?”

“Sob!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay…”

I slowly patted the back of the child who was shivering as if he was unfamiliar with someone’s warmth. The tremors are gradually subsiding, as if it is ineffective.

“Yeah, yeah, it’ll be okay.”

“…Ugh.”

“What if your younger brother doesn’t follow you? You can become stronger and protect him, right?”

“…Yes….”

A voice that seems to be crawling.

Daniel, who checked Paul’s face to see if he had still not calmed down, smiled and took a step back.

It seems like shame is coming to me later. After checking his bright red face again, he held back his laughter and opened his mouth.

“Then shall we go?”

***

As always, under the dark sky with three moons, Lirinel, commander of the 11th Corps of the Demon King’s Army, was sitting on the castle wall, shaking his legs with a sullen expression.

Unfortunately for the adjutant, her frustration was now at its peak.

That’s because no one who wants to come is coming, and only other people are coming in droves!

In the first place, the entrance to the Demon King’s Castle is rare and even regular.

Unscheduled entry means that the person is either an intruder or a high-ranking official who is allowed to freely enter the Demon King’s Castle.

A representative example of a ‘high-ranking position’ would be ‘corps commander’, so he rushed out whenever there was a reaction to the barrier erected around the Demon Castle… ‘9th corps commander Trover and 5th corps commander Orel

. And Orel’s adjutant Dernivan… was.’

I was still disappointed, but I was even more upset when Trover broke the castle wall with his body and entered without even opening the door, saying he would use magic to get through.

Damn you, that’s magic! They just broke it in with force! I definitely said that if you can break through my barrier with ‘magic’, give it a try!

‘Oel brought something strange from somewhere and tried to talk to me, so I ran away first…’ It’s

okay to list out interesting information I learned, but if I say something wrong, I keep asking ‘Why?’ Because you will have to be baptized.

Also, the conversation with her never ends.

‘Dernivan doesn’t know how to accept that personality.’

Ah, I miss you, Demon….

I was just looking up at the night sky while drawing a picture of Demon like that. At some point, Lirinel widened her eyes and jumped up.

There was a reaction to the barrier. The direction is North Gate!

The place where you are now is the western wall, so it’s not that far away.

No matter how many times she tried in vain, she couldn’t help but feel the glimmer of hope that had come back to life. Lirinel immediately grabbed the broom next to her and jumped down the castle wall.

A strong wind greets her, and her small body approaches the floor at an alarming speed.

Just before colliding with the floor, she got on the broom, quickly turned around and flew up.

‘That’s right, I was scolded by the Demon King for using magic carelessly.’

Even when greeting Orl and Trover, I flew away with magic and got scolded.

Because the reaction of the barrier is not only known to the caster, but also to the guards. If you wait a little bit, the other person’s identity will be reported anyway, so it’s a waste.

Magic is breaking the rules of the world. A world that cannot tolerate blatant violation of rules sends a hero.

In the end, the more magic you use, the closer you get to the time when the hero is born, but only the Demon King knows how much is left.

The Demon King probably felt that time had shortened a little with this magic.

Lirinel, remembering the cold expression of the Demon King, shrugged her shoulders and then straightened them as if she had never done that before.

‘So this time I used a broom as a medium!’

If the opponent this time is Demon, wouldn’t it be okay for the Demon King to get over it?

While I was thinking about this and that, I arrived at the North Gate.

A little further out of the Demon King’s Castle from the North Gate, Lirinel busily looked around to find the person to whom the barrier had responded.

There was no need to wander around for that long.

In the distance, from the direction of the forest, someone strides towards the castle gate in a straight line.

It was not a black robe, which was someone’s symbol, but a common travel robe, but it was not difficult to think of it as someone.

It was the same for the gatekeepers.

“No way…!”

“Don’t panic, just relax! If you make a mistake, we will die today.”

There were more than a few people who died because they were offended while interrogating the corps commander.

Even if it were other corps commanders, it would be serious, so why is it that 0 corps commander has the least amount of information?

Of course, since he is wearing a robe, it is still only an estimate, but his one and only life is too dangerous to leave everything to such a flimsy hope.

If the author is really Commander 0, I have no idea how to deal with him, so in the end, there is only one thing I can do.

Let’s act wisely!

First of all, follow the rules so that no flaws are found, and if that person shows even the slightest sign of discomfort during the inspection, just let them go.

‘But please, if it weren’t for Commander 0…’

In the meantime, he reached in front of the gatekeepers and pulled back the hood of his robe.

As a result, their simple wishes were cruelly trampled.

White hair is revealed under the moonlight, and blood-red eyes look directly at them.

I’ve never seen it before, but it looks familiar.

Even in the Demon King’s Castle, he only stayed in the inner city, so I had never seen his face in person, but I had heard of his appearance so I could not help but notice him.

“Daemon Arut.”

“I confirmed it.”

0 Corps Commander Daemon Arut.

For the demons, the object of respect and fear has returned.

And there was someone screaming silently in the sky.

‘Demonniiiiim!!’

***

There was a bit of trouble with crazy dogs when we left, but we arrived at the Demon King Castle safely.

As expected, as it was a demon world, the corps commanders were constantly hunting monsters, and yet I had to encounter numerous monsters… With my

fingertips, I gently touched the brand on the side of my neck above my collarbone.

A location tracking spell engraved by the Demon King himself.

In a way, it is natural that the demons avoided it thanks to this magic imbued with the demon lord’s energy, so I think it can be seen as a kind of extreme pass.

‘Anyway, I think I felt eyes on me before I entered the demon world…’

It seemed like there was a bit of noise in the back…

‘Is it because of my mood?’

I arrived at the Demon King’s Castle safely without any major incidents, so it was probably just my mood.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Demon World, so I guess I’m really nervous.

Now that I think about it, I was so nervous that I spoke informally to the gatekeepers a little while ago. Fortunately, I moved on without complaining… but honestly, I was nervous.

However, speaking without shaking your voice was the limit.

The demon world, which I had barely gotten used to while I was in the empire, became awkward again. No, I got scared!

‘It will probably take some time to get used to it, so don’t encounter the corps commanders for the time being…’

“Daemon!!”

Hey! It’s a surprise!

A little boy fell from the sky with a broom.

I was secretly frustrated by the appearance of a familiar face. Why? The only faces I’m familiar with in the demon world are dangerous people.

‘No, there’s no way there are people in the demon world who aren’t dangerous in the first place.’

11th Corps Commander Ririnel.

Feeling fortunate that she was the least fearful of all the corps commanders, I opened my mouth to her as if nothing had happened.

“Long time no see.”

“Yes! It’s been a while! It’s late, but I heard that when you were dispatched to defend the city, you not only did it perfectly, but even completely wiped out the monsters! You’re a demon after all!”

“Ah yes.”

I heard so.

I’ll tell you, my memory was gone at that time. I lost my memory after drinking, and when I came to, I found myself vomiting blood.

According to what Ed, the adjutant, and Ben, the doctor, said, he was attacked while trying to fight his way through the monsters and was blown 2 meters away.

“Oh, that’s right! Are you any more injured than that?”

“…?”

“Well… I was worried when I received a signal that the necklace I gave you was broken. I’m glad you’re safe.”

“Oh, I see… not yes?”

necklace?

“Ah ah! Of course, I didn’t doubt Demon’s skills… I just…” ”

No, that’s not it…”

Now that I think about it, the necklace that Lirinel gave me disappeared at some point, right? If you look roughly at the time, it seems to have been before we even went to the Empire…

probably at the border with the human world, where we went because a new hero had appeared. It looks like it was lost in the chaos there.

But it was broken. Didn’t they say that it would definitely save their life at least once? There’s no way it could break that easily.

…Anyway, it’s better than saying I lost it.

“…It was very useful. Thank you.”

“Go… ahhh no! I! Jejeje! I’ll make it again! If you need anything, please tell me as much as you want!”

What

are you scared of? I guess I took a step back without realizing it. Ririnel, who had an expression of “Oops,” quickly gathered her emotions, cleared her throat, and changed the topic. “How was the mission

? Oh, this is just asking for your thoughts. Trying to find out what mission you were given…”

“I was tired.”

“Huh?”

I was tired. In particular, the eradication of the Salvation Church was truly terrible.

“They created a fake religion and tried to do something. “I met people who blindly believed in that and put it out there.”

“…?”

Ah, the demon world doesn’t have the concept of religion?

Actually, demons only believe in and follow their father, the demon lord…

It’s not really a secret that I went to the human world. It doesn’t really matter as long as you don’t know that you’re on a mission, but it’s a hassle to explain.

However, looking at this child’s questioning eyes, it’s not easy to

explain it. In the end, I couldn’t help but explain it in an easy to understand way, and she nodded. He said,

“Ah… that’s stupid. Rather than trusting such meaningless things, it would be better to trust Demon…”

“Yes… yes?!”

“Huh…? Now that I think about it, I guess this is good? Demonism… Demonism…”

“Hey…?”

I think you’re muttering something very ominous just now.
