I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 90

90. A vacation that is not a vacation (6)

Gaisitel opens and closes his mouth several times as if he is quite shocked, but then slowly kneels down. There was a solid red line on his neck that wasn’t there until a moment ago, and I don’t know when it first came about.

Drool – The blood that had formed along the solid line pools and flows down.

Only then did I discover the existence of the thread touching Geisitel’s neck.

“…I apologize if I offended you in any way. sorry.”

Develaniaaa!! What are the same corps commanders doing now?

For some reason, Geisitel is even apologizing instead of getting angry! Why are you apologizing?

In the meantime, it was a bit absurd to see that they did not think that the kiln was the cause, but it was more embarrassing than that.

Debellania, who had a string around Gaisitel’s neck, took a stance as if she was about to pull it. “

What should we do, Demon?”

─Because I was smiling.

Wasn’t he a corps commander like you? I was sure that killing one another was considered self-respecting, right?

Or maybe──

‘I can’t believe Gaisitel’s treatment was strange.’

Was it judged to be unhelpful to power? Would it be better to replace him with a corps commander?

The Demon King is like the father of all demons. As long as they are born from the power of the Demon King, they will most likely not do anything that will harm the Demon King.

So, there must be a reason for treating the ‘corps commander’, an important force, this way.

Otherwise, just as not all children listen to their parents and grow up properly, there may simply be some demons who go astray, and one of them is Debellania.

Regardless of which answer was given, the thought I had at that moment was none other than ‘I’m screwed.’

‘That means I can kill as many people as I want!’

As I got used to it, the tension that had loosened became tighter again.

Still, I thought there was some safety device, but it was shocking to see that it was bare body. Wasn’t it literally like I was walking on a tightrope with my bare body on a cliff?

I once again saw Develania’s smiling face. If I make a mistake, I’ll cut my head off with that expression on my face.

You have to get involved before that happens. For a brief moment, my head was spinning.

And Geisitel, whose head looked like it was about to be cut off, came into view.

Ah, I got the answer.

“Let’s go out.”

When I noticed that Ben’s hand that had been adjusting my clothes had come off, I hurriedly walked towards the door.

D’Vellania asked, loosening the strength in her hand that was holding the thread, as if the words were completely unexpected. The usual loose face was everywhere, and the innocently blinking eyes as if he hadn’t heard anything was creepy again.

“…yes?”

“Would it be okay to kill the same corps commander? Gaisitel did nothing wrong, so let’s just pick up the thread and leave.”

How to increase Develania’s favor towards you and how to avoid incurring Geisitel’s resentment.

‘Going out’ under the pretext of ‘buying clothes’.

It may be a bit of a struggle, but if it means you can have a better future, why sacrifice your life?

Everyone paused for a moment at the sudden change of topic. As expected, Geisitel was the first to act.

Using a skill that I don’t know where he honed his skills, he took advantage of the slack in D’Vellania’s strings and rushed over, opened the door, and waited.

Develania blinked for a moment and looked at him, then smiled and took the thread.

“If Demon says so.”

“….”

“More than that, Demon, you are humble as expected. “He knows his position and is the ‘same’ corps commander.”

Well, actually, it’s a lower position than that. … hmm? “Humble” for a moment? Not ‘arrogance’?

I am a human being, and the ‘0 Corps Commander’ position I got was created by creating a position that did not exist, so it must be an honorary position, and even so, I do not have a proper role… I said that I was ‘the same’ as other corps commanders on that topic, but was it not arrogance but humility

?

“Daemon’s position is implicitly similar to that of the 1st Corps Commander.”

“I am saying this because there is no 1st Corps Commander, but since everyone is more nervous when dealing with Demon-nim than with the 1st Corps Commander, shouldn’t it be said that Demon-nim is actually higher in rank? “The Demon King is also more careful with Demon than with the 1st Corps Commander.”

I didn’t know. I just thought everyone respected me because I was a parachute brought by the devil himself.

So, no matter how low my current position is….

the devil > 1st corps commander = me > the rest of the corps commanders,

right? You’re crazy.

The 1st Corps commander also serves as the devil’s agent. I’m in a similar position to that guy? Even that is the lowest setting.

But still, there was nothing I could say.

“…Let’s go out.”

I have no choice but to repeat what I said.

….

The feeling of being a dress-up doll was terrible, but seeing the city was quite interesting.

As a city of trade, there are a variety of fruits and weapons. Even the types of fish available in the market were diverse. Somehow, I see a lot of them from the South, but I just pass them over because they’re trendy.

I looked around as I took the sweet fruit Gaisitel offered me.

“Daemon! “Shall we go that way this time?”

“Daemon, this fruit here is called mango. It grows in the southern part of the human world. Would you like to try it?”

Demon, Demon, Demon… That damn Demon! I want to take a look, but the two corps commanders won’t let me go.

If Ben had done the same, I would have really had a headache, but fortunately, he seemed to have noticed my condition and kept his mouth shut, following me silently as if I was not there.

Oh, and Geisitel’s recovery was quick. At least until I left, I thought he would be depressed or burning with anger, but he appeared cheerful, rubbing his palms together as if something had just happened, and claimed to be a guide around the city.

Following his guidance, I circled around until I was near the castle gate, and muttered inadvertently as I watched the people coming and going through the gate.

“The monsters’ attacks must have intensified, but the gates are still open.”

Although it contained doubts, this was clearly self-talk.

After talking with the gatekeeper guarding the castle gate, the familiar sight of demons leaving outside did not suit the current situation, so I just muttered that.

“Oh, actually, this city originally had its gates closed. But the border with the human world was discovered not far away… Wow!”

“…?!”

Geisitel gave an unexpected answer.

No way….

The hypothesis that had been occupying a corner of my head all along inflated its presence as if it had been waiting.

“The southern part of the human world?”

“How did you do that…! “No, no, that’s what I mean…”

Was it true?!

Geisitel belatedly denies it, but the sight of him dropping the southern fruit he was holding and waving his hand doesn’t seem very believable.

I’m not the only one who didn’t know this, right?

Ben and D’Bellania turned around to see if they knew, and saw D’Bellania shaking his head with his forehead and Ben with his eyes wide open.

At least Ben didn’t seem to know.

‘thank god. ‘I wasn’t the only one who didn’t know.’

At that time, Ben, who had been gaping with his mouth open, frowned and asked a sharp question.

“Does the Demon King know about this?”

“Of course, report! …I meant to….”

“You mean I didn’t.”

“…When will demons who have to stay in the city go to the human world? “I happened to find a border line nearby, so I wanted to have a little fun…”

Since we were going back and forth secretly, we established rules between ourselves and forbade any accidents or fighting there…

Geisitel’s voice gradually becomes quieter. The head gradually lowers, and the bat wings behind the back are folded tightly against the body.

And at that moment, those who had just left the gate returned again.

Very urgently, with a cloud of dust behind my back.

“Close the door! “Close the door quickly!!”

“It’s a monster!!”

Wow. If I do well, I’ll be trapped in this city, right?

It’s hard to see because it’s covered in dust, but just looking at the scale of the dust, you can clearly see that the number is no joke.

Unlike me, who was inwardly shocked, the gatekeepers were calm.

Although he was confused for a moment, he skillfully took out the communication box and sent a message somewhere. Then an alarm sounded and the huge castle gates began to slowly close.

‘Wait a minute, I don’t think they can come in?’

The gate is almost completely closed, but there is still some distance between the gate and the guys running.

I naturally looked at them wondering if that was okay, but then the two of them kicked the ground. And then the sliding!

In! I ran that distance and got in in one go!

‘But why is the monster suddenly… ah.’

The thoughts that were flowing through my consciousness reached something and stopped. At the same time, cold sweat ran down my spine.

Now that I think about it, after going through a lot of trouble on the way here, all the monsters I encountered were driven back inside the border. In fact, I didn’t even intentionally try to drive them out. After killing them for a while, there was nothing they could do because those who felt their lives were threatened ran away first.

‘But it was too much of a waste to do that again…’

Also, setting up a thread and attracting monsters to deal with them is not efficient because the number of them is insufficient.

It wasn’t a huge number like in the beginning, so I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal if I ran away… but

my thoughts were short-lived. Where will the chased monsters go? The only place nearby that has life is this second city.

‘This… it’s clearly our fault no matter who sees it.’

But don’t these guys get stabbed?

I glanced back at Develania, who had the same attitude, and Ben, who was only focused on my condition.

Develania, who did not miss my gaze, gently nodded her head and called out Gaisitel.

“It would be difficult if I couldn’t leave the city. “Shouldn’t you fulfill your mission, Commander of the 10th Corps?”

“The 10th Legion is always ready to defend the city.”

As soon as the preparations were complete, Gaisitel appeared, dragging a horse unique to the Demon World with black air currents fluttering about.

Likewise, the members of the 10th Corps were fully prepared and stood behind them, each holding the reins of their horses.

If the 2nd Corps led by Develania’s specialty is attacks using thread and setting traps, the 10th Corps is ‘horseback riding’.

It’s a bit of a strange combination since the commander has wings and his specialty is horseback riding, but it’s none of my business.

I knew that the demon horse they had was a meat-eater, so instead of saying something, I quietly took a step back.

Then Ben stepped forward as if speaking for himself.

“Are you avoiding questioning like this?”

“…You are persistent on the topic of your doctor. “I don’t think it’s up to you to step forward.”

“Well, I heard something from the Lieutenant of Commander 0 Corps, who is not here. “Daemon usually talks little, so I told you to keep an eye on him and listen closely to find out in advance what he wants to say.”

…huh? me?

“In that sense, I will speak on behalf of Demon. As the situation is dire, I will let you go, but no matter how Gaisitel comes out, the matter regarding the border will be reported to the Demon King.”

Why are you speaking on my behalf? Can’t you just say that’s what you’re saying?

As expected, Geisitel’s harsh gaze turns to Ben and then to me. It seems like the gaze directed at me is closer to observing rather than glaring, but of course I’m mistaken.

He holds the reins tightly, bows to me once, and mounts the horse. Likewise, members of the 10th Legion on horseback followed Geisitel and stood in front of the castle gate.

Then a powerful voice fell.

“Open the door.”

The mission of the 10th Corps commander is to protect the city. The door opened without a word.

The 10th Legion, riding black horses, sortied through the half-open door in preparation for monsters coming in.

Doo doo doo doo doo!!

‘oh… It’s pretty cool…?’

I was staring blankly at the scene where the black air flowing out from the horse stretched like a tail and then later dispersed, and then I glanced at the door closing again.

And I couldn’t believe my eyes.

It’s not because a monster came in. Fortunately, the monster didn’t come in. But…

doo doo doo doo doo!!

‘What are they doing…’

The 10th Legion that had just left came back.

Just before the door closed, the last corps member came in, and the sound of the door closing with a thump followed by the screams of monsters echoed from beyond.

Gaisitel, who was out of breath with a pale face, suddenly grabbed Develania by the collar.

“There are too many!”
