I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 73

73. Back to the Demon World (1)

“Lirinel…?”

“Oh yes! It’s nothing, Demon!”

“It doesn’t seem like it’s nothing…”

“Hehe, but what is that?”

“….”

“Oh, of course, if it’s mission-related, you don’t have to say anything…!”

I’m not shutting up about that right now, am I?

But what can I do against a corps commander? In the end, I sighed and unpacked the luggage I was carrying.

To be honest, I was quite surprised when I unpacked my luggage to take out food.

What on earth does Remember know?…

“Wow, it’s a cookie?! I’ve never seen anything like this before!”

They even brought me some pretty nice souvenirs.

Except for its shape, it is a cookie that can be easily eaten even in the Demon King’s Castle. Lirinel’s eyes sparkle as she looks at me, as if she is fascinated by the fact that this is her first time seeing it.

Well, it’s not that I don’t understand that reaction. I guess so. It’s a very pretty flower-shaped cookie that doesn’t exist in the Demon World.

To get some favor, I handed the bag of cookies to Lirinel.

“It’s a gift.”

“Oh…? Really?! Thank you!”

At times like this, I really feel like a helpless child.

“Oh my god, what a tribute…! I never thought a day like this would come in my life…. “

”?“

Although it seems like I say strange things sometimes.

He looked so pure and happy that it was hard to believe he was the commander of the Demon King’s army. He took out a cookie and put it in his mouth, and then he started walking.

The nearby gatekeepers had been keeping an eye on us since earlier. It’s probably not because of me, a human with no magic power, but probably because of Lirinel. Although he may seem like a child at first glance, he is ultimately a corps commander.

True to my intention of leaving the spot, Lirinel immediately followed me.

“Are you going straight to the Demon King?”

“…I guess so.”

I don’t want to go, but what can I do? I have no choice but to go.

Lirinel, unaware of my speed, smiled brightly and nodded as if everything went well.

“I’ll guide you to the shortest route!”

***

Unlike the other gardens of the Demon King’s Castle, access to the central garden is always restricted. The only people allowed to enter are the Demon King, the corps commander, and those permitted by the Demon King himself.

However, for a long time, someone visited the central garden, which had been neglected because neither the Demon King nor the corps commanders visited often.

“The Empire attacked the Kingdom of Ireon?”

The Demon King asked as he sat in front of the table in the middle of the garden and lazily lifted the tea.

“It will not simply stop there. The Emperor’s goal is to conquer the continent. The Kingdom of Ireon is only the cornerstone for that.”

A man with golden hair as brilliant as the sunlight, with pointy ears and pure white skin, answered. Blue green eyes looked directly at the Demon King.

As anyone would expect, the person in front of you who does not look like a demon is a completely different race from demons. The same was true for everyone else here.

Races that are neither demons nor humans but only appear in books somewhere.

Let me clarify one thing at this point: the original name of this place where the devil exists and where three moons rise is not the Demon World. ‘Demon Realm’ is simply a name given because demons are most widely distributed and occupy the largest area.

A long time ago, before the ‘demon race’ was even born—

numerous races lived here. The name of this place at the time was ‘Abyss’.

The name that seemed to have been forgotten is still alive. What does that mean?

──There are still other races remaining in the Demon World, or rather, the Abyss.

“What do you like?”

The demon king raised his eyebrows slightly as he put down a sip of tea on the table.

“There’s no way someone like the Fairy King would come all the way here and lie, so let’s believe him. But what I’m curious about is why you came to me and said that. Aren’t you obviously not interested in the human world?”

“…don’t think that we are stupid just because we have recently changed generations. We are responsible for each clan. We know that once the empire conquers the continent, this will be the next place.”

To be precise, they will be targeting the ‘demons of the demon world’.

If humans begin to set foot here in the name of extermination of demons, it will only be a matter of time before other races become aware of their existence.

In that case, they will be next after the demons.

From the perspective of the Fairy King, who values the flow of the world and nature, he cannot be pleased with the demons, who are nothing more than an ‘error in the world’, but the stability of the clan is more important than his disgust for them, so he had no choice but to come here like this.

“So don’t die?”

“It means don’t cause harm to my clan by dying needlessly.”

The Demon King chuckled at the cold words.

However, even for a moment, the laughter disappears and a strong pressure weighs down the entire garden.

“Okay, that’s all good, but can’t you speak more politely? I know that the fairies hate the demons, but even so, there is no blood on his head—“ The

120-year-old fairy king, who had no blood on his head, gently bit his lip. The Demon King, who was looking at him with emotionless eyes, turned his head.

Dwarf Chief, Mermaid Queen, Vampire Queen.

The leaders of each tribe, who were 700 to 800 years old, were struggling to survive under extreme pressure.

“Since I am in the position of an equal ‘chief,’ I don’t want any honorifics. Can’t you just stop talking in such a cocky way? Anyway, things these days are…”

“….”

Clicking his tongue and shaking his head, the Demon King glanced at those who were unable to respond due to the pressure and sighed. “…That’s it

. What are we going to do with children?”

The pressure disappeared.

The Fairy King frowned as if his pride was hurt, but the Demon King pretended not to notice and stood up. There is

more important work right now than educating foolish children. Because it just appeared.

“You said the empire attacked the Kingdom of Ireon, right? That’s good.”

The location tracking brand I engraved announced that ‘he’ had arrived here.

“The informant who was dispatched to the human world has just returned.”

“I know that ‘informant’.”

Racial characteristics . As if he wasn’t going to disappear easily, the Fairy King continued to maintain his cocky tone and continued,

“He’s from a human. It is very suitable to be used as a spy, but before that, there is one thing I would like to point out.” ”

….”

“Is that person trustworthy?”

“…Well.”

I walked leisurely and entered the garden entrance door. The Demon King smiled while putting his hand on the.

“As long as he is here.”

“….”

“He will be very reliable.”

***

“Welcome. Even so, I had a lot of things I wanted to ask, but

I’m glad you came.” The Demon King welcomed Deon with open arms and touched his collarbone as if brushing against him, and naturally began to lead him somewhere. Deon’s eyes were obediently drawn into his hand, touching the missing brand. At some point, it became thinner.

The direction he was heading towards was none other than the central garden.

The central garden is close to a greenhouse in order to easily control the entry and exit of outsiders. Unlike other gardens, access is controlled, so it is a place where even the devil himself does not often walk. Heading.

Deon, who was staring at the back of the Demon King at the rare sight, immediately lowered his eyes without saying anything. Eventually,

in the garden where he arrived, the Demon King offered another chair and immediately began asking questions.

“The Empire is the Kingdom of Ireon . I heard it was attacked. The Emperor’s goal is to conquer the continent, right?”

Deon, who was standing quietly without sitting on the chair given by the Demon King and looking around at the different races around him, nodded slowly. “Yes.

” He

wasn’t worried about whether they would hear.

Even though there was an opportunity to talk, there must be a reason for bringing him here and asking questions in front of others.

“What was the order the emperor gave you?”

“[Monitor the devil and prevent him from getting involved in this situation. ]”

“And?”

“If the Demon King decides to go to war, he told me to come back no matter what.” ”

Hmm, I

guess that’s me.” In any case, we’ll wait and see until the emperor devours more than half of the continent, so we don’t need to pay much attention right now. Probably not.

The Demon King, who was pretending to be worried by stroking his chin, soon raised his head and faced Deon. The Demon King’s characteristic dark eyes gently curved and a friendly voice came out. “Is there anything else you want to say to me?” “The human

world

. ‘Magic’ was discovered in.”

“Huh?”

The Demon King’s eyes widened as if he had heard something unexpected.

Deon could easily read the emotions openly revealed in his wide-open eyes. Embarrassed

.

That’s right, embarrassed. . That was all. Pure bewilderment, without any hint of ‘anger that someone used magic in the human world’ at will.

Deon, who was carefully examining it, slowly opened his mouth.

His red eyes were aimed straight at the Demon King, and his voice was calm as if he had not noticed anything. came out.

“In one building, magic, not witchcraft, was used.”

“Ah, really?”

“….”

“Okay. Let me investigate.”

Stop.

The Demon King calmly holds out his hand. Deon’s gaze was persistent as if he sensed something, but no words came out from his tightly closed lips. He couldn’t hold on any longer, so

Deon eventually turned around. Deon’s lips, which had not opened until he headed towards the entrance to the garden, slowly opened once he stood in front of the door.

From his leisurely open mouth, something completely unrelated to the previous conversation came out.

“The movement of his left arm seemed unnatural, Ben. Let me see it.”

A voice that was extremely friendly.

“…I understand.”

The red eyes that glanced at him obediently withdrew their gaze. Instead of saying anything more, Deon opened the garden gate.

Deon disappeared and there was a short silence. The person who broke it was none other than the Fairy King.

“You want to investigate?”

A cold laugh pushes away the silence and spreads low throughout the garden.

He, who was laughing so coldly that it was so cold, glared at the Demon King with a straight face, as if asking when he had laughed before.

“In the human world . Who else can use magic?”

The demons basically follow the demon lord. It would be absurd for them to think something absurd and not even a minor deviation.

“You, right?”

“A habit of speaking.”

“Is that important now? !”

“But that doesn’t mean it’s your job to interfere.”

“Aren’t you afraid of the future!”

The Fairy King couldn’t overcome his frustration and finally screamed.

As someone who sensitively feels the flow of the world, he can’t know for sure. There was.

──The world is preparing.

Sooner or later, the world will send a hero. Unlike before, it will send a hero who is very threatening to the Demon King. No, if it is prepared to this extent, it may send a hero who can ‘definitely kill’ him. However

, The Demon King may or may not be aware of this situation.

“Why should I be afraid of the future?”

“…What?”

“There is no reason to be afraid. Anyway, the hero will appear and I will meet him. This is what has been happening until now. There is no reason to be afraid now.”

“Ha…”

A laugh broke out, but it was short-lived.

The Fairy King, with a cold face, stood up without hesitation.

“Yes, it is none of my business. Long lower limbs. Do whatever you want. I won’t care anymore.”

The meeting ended here.

I didn’t like it, but I still thought of it as the head of a race that was acting as a kind of first line of defense. I thought

about the people who would rush in here with a sword in the heart of the Demon King. The Fairy King left the room without hesitation to come up with a solution.

The others also stood up obediently without saying anything, even though they looked dissatisfied because the Fairy King had already said what they wanted to say or needed to say

. Let’s go. Oh, and I hope we manage the monsters properly. Recently, they have been wandering around near our territory.”

“…I’ll take care.”
