I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 75

75. Back to the Demon World (3)

Demon Arut. We don’t know who he is, what he looks like, or what he does, but his name is widely known throughout the demon world.

If even demons in distant areas whose faces I don’t know know each other, what would it be like in the ‘Demon King’s Castle’?

There is no way that the movements of a person who is treated as a being second only to the Demon King will not be known. Since he rarely moves, even if his actions are trivial, they spread throughout the Demon Castle in an instant, and the long-awaited news of his return naturally reached the ears of the 2nd Corps Commander Develania.

“Hmm, Demon-nim has returned?”

Even so, I was upset about not being able to see each other for a long time, but it turned out okay. I happened to go to the second city and buy some clothes.

As soon as I thought about it, I took action immediately.

Devellania quickly began to pack up the luggage that had been stored in one place without even unpacking it, as if possessed.

“I’d like to say hello to you at this point” and

also give you all the clothes that I couldn’t give you because the timing was different.

She grabbed the ‘gift for Demon’ and moved without delay.

….

It wasn’t that difficult to sneak into Demon’s room. Because Demon’s lieutenant took advantage of the altercation with the gardener and sneaked in through the open door.

I thought it came in secretly, but it seems like Demon noticed it from the beginning.

While lying down on the bed, he looked straight at the ceiling where I was hiding, then raised both hands and swept down my face as if it was not worth dealing with.

Not only was he lying down defenseless, he was even blocking my view.

As the commander of the 2nd Corps, who is mainly responsible for stealth and assassination-related work, this honestly hurts my pride. So, without realizing it, I ended up moving a little too much.

Puuuk –

The sword sinks into the bedding without a sound. To be exact, right next to Demon’s neck.

Nevertheless, without any sign of surprise, Mr. Demon slowly lowers the hand that was covering his face. Red eyes glanced at the sword and then looked straight at me.

For a moment, I was startled by his eyes that seemed to be asking me what I was doing, but then I slowly smiled and opened my mouth.

“Hello, Demon.”

***

“I really missed you. I had a lot of gifts to give, but the person I was supposed to receive was not there…” “….”

”

Anyway, was my sword really not worth reacting to? I thought I trained hard. I mean.”

“….”

“Huh? Demon? What?”

“Sa….”

“Sa?”

Save me…

I barely swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth.

I was so shocked that I froze, so fortunately I didn’t scream out loud, but as a side effect, my heart felt like it froze for a moment. I almost died of a heart attack.

D’Bellania’s eyes shine as if she is curious about the words she barely swallowed. There was an interest that could not be hidden in the two drowsy downcast eyes.

“Sa what?“

”….“

I was impressed by the tenacity of biting on something that was nothing special for a moment, but before I could answer, Develania clapped her hands as if she understood.

“Ah! Because there was no life in it?”

“…!?”

No, I haven’t said anything yet.

“But how could I dare to show my life. The moment I show signs of survival, he will turn and try to kill me.”

“….”

“It’s not that I don’t think life is a waste or anything, but the extreme Demon-sama is cool, but I like the moderate Demon-nim better. “I don’t know if Silua is a pervert, but I like gentle men.”

I don’t know what he’s talking about, but I definitely understand that Silua is a pervert.

Is it okay to call the 7th Corps commander a pervert? Then, the corps commanders fight again. What should I do if this happens? Of course, Silua is a pervert.

“Oh, more than that, I’ve been going around a lot and buying clothes that would look good on Demon-”

But you seem to be just as perverted as her. The way you look at me now is very similar. I slowly stood up, looking away from the uncomfortably sparkling eyes.

I wanted to run away if I could, but whether it was by accident or design, D’Vellania was blocking my quick escape route, so I gave up on pointless resistance and obediently took the box she held out .

I accepted it.

Well, if it’s just this one thing, it’s fine. Usually, I bring a mountain of clothes and pile them in the corner of the room. “Of course,

this isn’t everything. I just gave it to you first because it was the one I liked the most, but I piled the rest over there. “Try this first, and be sure to wear the rest at least once.”

“….”

Did you get that again before you knew it?

That’s right, there’s no way I could give you just one. I was too naive. I

sighed and opened the box. A blue, flowy dress appeared.

“This is….”

“I heard that it was inspired by the clothing of the southern part of the human world. I don’t like humans, but their culture has a lot of interesting things.”

“But…”

“Oh, by the way, the top and bottom are matched, so wear them with the pants below.” ”

So, I understood that… ”

It’s definitely a design I’ve seen before, whether or not it’s a lie that it was inspired by southern clothing. It’s a little different, but I think it was probably called a durumagi? But wasn’t the

most important thing overlooked?

“Isn’t there anything to wear inside?”

Yes, clothes to wear inside! Usually, if they even match the pants, don’t they always try to bring clothes to wear underneath? As far

as I know, this is an outer garment. Perhaps because it has been improved, there is no knot to hide the gaping front.

Of course, this could mean that you should wear the clothes underneath yourself. But, as someone who experienced Develania’s infinite clothing hell, I had no choice but to shake my head.

Due to Develania’s personality, if I had given her outer clothes, she would have also given me clothes to wear underneath.

Could it be that I forgot…?

“Oh, that was originally the case. That’s how you wear it.”

“…Originally?”

“In the human world, you might have worn it a little differently, but in the demon world, you wear it like this-.”

Crazy.

“Now, would you like to try it on?”

“Ah….”

Damn. This is why I have 2. I was avoiding the corps commander. I looked at the clothes in my hand, sweating profusely. I do

n’t want to wear them. No, I should never wear them, even if it puts aside exposure and my taste. If it’s the Develania I’ve experienced, I’m sure I’ll be fine if I wear it at least once. They’ll try to wear everything, even things you didn’t plan on wearing, just because they say it suits you. It’s obvious that the end result will be an appointment to go out to buy clothes. But the person you’re dealing with is the commander of the 2nd Corps. It was a time when you were hesitating, unable to firmly refuse.

Knock

.

” This is Daemon Ed. What do you do when the 8th Corps commander and his adjutant request a meeting?”

“Oh.”

As expected, Ed! He looked back at Develania with a smile

on his face. He couldn’t tell him to get out of the way out loud, but as he just heard, he was busy, so he silently asked him to leave quickly. I’m looking at him…

“Tsk.”

“…!?”

Did you just… click your tongue…?

As soon as my surprised gaze reached me, Develania grinned and sat down as if asking me when I had clicked my tongue. She stood up. Her eyes were fiercely focused on the door.

If it weren’t for the scary look in her eyes, I would have thought what I had just heard was a mistake. Her voice sounded as usual as usual.

“It’s a shame, but I guess I’ll have to postpone trying it on until later.

” “Okay…”

“If you don’t like the design, please tell me. Later, let’s go to the second city together to buy clothes that you like, Demon.” ”

…Yes.”

You should never say anything. Whether you like it or not, let’s never say anything.

Meanwhile, Develania approached the door and grabbed the handle. I yanked it open. Edgar, who had raised his eyes indifferently as he prepared to show politeness, as if he had expected me to tell him to come in or come out in person, soon shrunk his pupils to a small size. “Mr. Develania?” “Hello?” “I didn’t know you

were

there

. “I’m sorry if I interrupted you.”

“No, it wasn’t important. Our 8th Corps Commander’s business is more important than mine. Isn’t that right?”

“….”

It seems like the commander of the 8th Corps is answering something, but the sound is so low that I can’t hear it. Moreover, my eyes were busy looking beyond them rather than at

them

. You didn’t bury it in the garden, right…?

“Anyway, I’ll go. Good work…”

Ah, it looks like we’re finally leaving.

After confirming that Hien wasn’t behind them, I inadvertently turned my gaze and stopped looking. As

Develania passed the 8th Legion commander with a weapon draped behind his back, he loosened the strap holding the weapon. Because of that,

the two long, vertically intersecting windows slid as if lying down and widened horizontally. Without knowing

this, the 8th Corps commander steps inside the door.

And tick.

“Ah.”

The width of the door opens . A spear that was longer than the width got caught in the entrance.

As if he had been caught by the back of his neck, the 8th Corps commander was frozen with his legs outstretched before he could even step inside.

His adjutant, who had witnessed the scene from the side, sighed as if he had gone crazy. Kigo─

“I…”

“Oh my gosh.”

─The 8th Corps commander sits down.

With his face buried in his hands, he mutters in a voice that sounds like he is digging a tunnel.

“Why do I live… I am also an idiot. It’s trash that has no use at all….”

“No, Hel! That’s a mistake everyone makes! Besides, Hel carries a lot of weapons…”

“I’m not worth breathing when I carry a lot of weapons that I can’t handle…” “That

‘s absolutely not what I meant! Oh my…”

“I’m the one who hurts the adjutant’s head…”

“Oh no! It’s not because of Hell that I’m having a headache. It’s a chronic headache! Hel, you did nothing wrong!”

Why are those bastards making such a fuss here?

I stared blankly at the scene unfolding in front of me with dead eyes. And then I thought to myself,

‘What did Ed and Hien talk about? ‘

…I guess I’ve adapted to this crazy place, too.

***

Ed and Hien didn’t have a conversation as special as Deon had expected. The bloodshed he was worried about didn’t happen.

Ed’s sharp words just left Hien one-sided. “… So

, don’t approach Demon ever again.”

It was an arrogant voice befitting the top candidate for corps commander.

Hien, who had been listening in silence due to his low status, suddenly raised his head.

When his eyes met his , Ed’s face distorts and he takes a step back. Although at first glance, his expression and actions seemed to be disgusting, Hien could tell.

That demon does not hate him. It just pathologically ‘avoids’ him.

‘…Now that I think about it.’

I’ve encountered him countless times and received countless amounts of hostility, but I don’t think I’ve ever felt anything more than disgust.

‘Why?’

“What are you looking at? Get rid of your eyes.”

As expected, I don’t feel any disgust.

Hien has received a lot of hate for being an incubus who lives as a parasite on others all his life. There was no way I could distinguish the disgust directed at me and not at anything else. So I mustered up the courage to open my mouth

.

” Ed doesn’t hate me, does he?”

“…!”

“I’m sure. Ed, you don’t hate incubus and succubus. But why… big!”

I guess I touched him wrong. I

instinctively tried to grab the hand that was strangling me, but when I realized the situation, I relaxed my body. Colorful. I let out a faint sound of strangulation and looked at the face of the person who had strangled me.

Even in this situation, his expression showed no sign of disgust.

Instead, what was revealed was anger and…shame from not being able to avoid something that one wanted to avoid?

‘Tsk.’

The strangling force becomes stronger.

Although he may not have a moderate temperament, I said this because I thought he was someone who respected Demon’s opinion above all else, but was I mistaken?

At that moment, there was a hand grabbing Ed’s arm.
