Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 232
53. Street vendor of devils, angels, and warriors ⑵
“Wouldn’t it be better to work as a warrior? Deus-sama, wouldn’t you be able to easily fulfill even a D-class request?”
“no. If you do something that stands out, your true identity will be discovered. Oh, do it anyway!”
Yulgeum said.
“It may seem a bit far-fetched, but if you think about it,
I don’t think it’s that bad. “It’s perfect for hiding your identity.”
“…Don’t you just want to eat my cooking?”
“Oh my, what do you mean?”
“We have to save the world.”
“You can get everything when the time comes.”
“You, Yulgeum, have also fallen into a bad light.”
“Hohoho, what do you mean? “Where is the new white person like me?”
“Then get a butler’s cart and come.”
“You have to give me money.”
“Think of it as an investment. “I’ll give you a share.”
“Ha… But why did you really call me? You probably didn’t call an angel just because you needed a butler. “You brought Nezar in a hurry to kill him before he grows up, and then all of a sudden you’re playing hero and street food?”
“Business is no joke!”
Deus’ resolute voice was full of majesty.
“Well, first of all, let me match the music. “We decided to go together.”
The next day, Scatul wandered around the castle early in the morning to find a carriage.
In fact, most of the usable wagons were requisitioned to transport war supplies, and the only one that could be salvaged immediately from the wagon was one with a broken structure.
Fortunately, there was an all-round part-time job called Saint Zeke.
He also tried fixing carriages. With the addition of superhuman strength, he was able to heal it to perfect condition by evening.
The one pulling the carriage is the Flame Demon of Hell.
There was no need to get more horses because one horse was stronger than a hundred horses.
The carriage was not very big. There were only five people on the wagon, including the coach seat and the back seat.
After finding more horses for the remaining people, the group immediately drove the carriage towards the next city.
Zeke and Butler Scatul sat in the coachman’s seat.
Inside the stall, Deus, Yulgeum Signi, and Lakhe were seated, while the two Lord
Knights and Lich King Sadimus rode horses.
This group had no unity, and even their destination was unclear.
Just heading towards the big city.
The slogan of defeating Nezar has long since been forgotten.
Deus was repeating his thoughts about where he could make more money.
In the meantime, we obtained wood from the mountains and built a kitchenette.
After the funeral preparations were completed, the first place we arrived at
was Paite, the gateway city of the Erion Federation, a neighboring country of Verde.
He paid the rent and opened his first street stall at a store inside the gates of Paite.
The first day was just like that.
The main menu was fried food made from the meat of a giant wild boar that had lost its way.
Even the smell of simmering oil did not easily open the hearts of the people hardened by the war.
But after two days and the third day, rumors began to circulate.
Fried
pork stir-fried in sweet and sour sauce became a specialty of the castle and attracted people.
Moreover, it was Signi and Lakhe who served.
Their beauty is at a level that is rarely seen in small towns like this. In just two days, we already had fans.
“Counting money is so much fun!”
Deus sat in the back seat and managed the money pot.
Other than that, he didn’t seem to have any intention of doing anything in the first place.
Neuekan’s two main knights, Jushak (red) and Actor (silver), who were unexpectedly hired as
kitchen assistants, had to cut vegetables all day without even knowing what was going on.
On the fifth day, Deus finally had something to do.
It’s getting closer to midnight and there are less customers.
A gangster with a bulging shoulder as if he had a balloon came into the store with five of his men.
He kicked the table on the street.
The chopsticks placed on top of the tableware
were rolling around on the floor and making a loud noise.
Some customers who were drunk and eating noodles ran away in confusion.
One of them seemed to be quite loyal.
They disappeared down the alley, saying they were Kaito’s gang and telling them to be careful.
In the distance, a vigilante was walking around banging on a wooden board when he made eye contact with a gang of thugs.
Just when I thought the situation would end abruptly, the guards turned around and left down the alley we had just come from.
The street suddenly emptied out, and only one gangster named Kaito, surrounded by five subordinates, was left to light a cigarette.
“Hey, who is the owner?”
Deus, who was hiding behind Zeke’s back and counting money, tapped Zeke’s side.
“They say it’s because you are the owner.”
“yes? Me? But anyone can see that Deus, who is holding a bucket of money, looks like the owner.”
“Oh, I’m weak to kids like that.”
“I don’t exactly understand what it means to be weak
.”
“Can I just mash it?”
“That’s a bit…
“Look at that.” Oh, by the way, I hired a butler to use it for times like this.”
“Mr. Scatul got mixed up with the customers?”
“You rotten bastard.”
It seems that Skathul left the place and took Signi and Lakhe with him.
Yulgeum stayed at the inn to do Jin Geumyong’s backlog of work.
Because everyone else had escaped, the only people here were Sadimus and the two main knights.
The two main knights, who were squatting in the back of the kitchen and washing dishes, made eye contact with Deus and shook their heads.
I turned my eyes back to Sadimus.
But at that moment, he was seeped into darkness.
Evasion high-level black magic was used to escape.
“Who is the owner?”
Keito raised his voice as he sat down on the chair brought by his subordinate.
Deus poked Zeke’s side again.
Zeke took off his apron, hung it on the wall, and walked forward as if he couldn’t do it.
“Is there a problem?”
“Who needs permission to do business here?”
“I’m paying taxes. The store owner here says in the evening…
“Look at this bastard. The little bastard talks back to everything he says. Hey, hit it first.”
“Yes brother!”
After bowing his shoulders and bowing, the two gangsters walked out in an attempt to destroy the stall
.
But there were men who stopped them.
Jusak in red and Actor in silver.
These were knights who had once performed great feats as members of Neuekan’s Order of Knights.
Jusak was 190 centimeters tall. Although it is now used as an apron, Matadol’s shield was a magical weapon that could block even a dragon’s breath.
Although Actor was big, he lost an arm and had a prosthetic hand made of wood,
which made him look even more ferocious.
As those two blocked the kitchenette, even the gangsters flinched.
“What is that counter top? “How can that be a kitchen assistant?”
Keito spat and rolled his eyes.
“What organization does this guy come from? “You’re a kid from San Pru Village, right?”
“Where is that?”
“Don’t act like you don’t know!”
Keito raised his hand towards Zeke. However, I didn’t notice him because he had such a gentle face
, but Zeke was also quite big.
He was around 180 centimeters tall, and his body, which had been trained in swordsmanship, could not be hidden.
The muscles on my forearms, with my sleeves rolled up while cooking, were incredibly torn.
Keito glanced down at his arm.
Although he grew bigger by swallowing lumps of pork fat, his muscles were not visible because they were covered with fat.
The power was strong. The only people stronger than him in this village were
knight commanders and warriors .
But who can show off their strength in front of that guy?
No matter how you look at it, the guy who was cooking had extraordinary muscles.
“Look at this bastard. “Who are you threatening?”
” yes?”
“You, those forearms. “Why did the cook grow so much muscle?”
“Why is there a rash on my forearm all of a sudden? So what do you want? Is it seat rent? Or are you telling me to quit the business altogether?”
“Look at this guy. What a bold bastard. “Who is the real head?”
“First of all, I am the owner.”
“That bastard behind you. You are the bar manager. “Who is the real owner?”
Zeke grinned. At this point, I turned my head and looked behind me.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Deus, who was standing in a temporary kitchen made of wood without any presence.
“Shit!”
“Deus, your customer is looking for a real head.”
“Oh, really, I’m not good at things like this.” Deus raised his palm and looked at it as he left.
“The power hidden in my hands can easily turn people into dust. “I don’t want to kill you.”
Compared to the other three, Deus was not large.
Although he was stronger than an ordinary person, he was not the rugged knight type.
Keito snorted.
“There is power hidden in your hands? “You crazy bastard.”
“It’s true.”
“Then why not give it a try? Go ahead and give it a try. Instead, if you can’t just be powdered, your baby dies. okay?”
“Ha, it’s really dangerous.”
One person who was standing like a wing in front of Deus let out a long sigh and walked out, twirling his shoulders.
He was a murderous-looking man with a pierced lip.
He stuck out his long tongue and licked the dagger he was holding in his hand. He walked up to Deus and placed his head in his hand.
“Turn to dust! “Turn to dust!” He burst out laughing sarcastically.
He said as he placed his head in Deus’ hand for the third time.
“Turn to dust…
Immediately after that, everyone there saw for the first time how humans turned into powder and poured down like sand.
“It’s real.”
Deus smiled and slowly approached the man named Keito.
He fumbled with a bewildered look on his face and
said while grabbing the hem of his subordinate’s clothes.
“What are you just watching! “Kill that bastard!”
“But…
“Go away, you bastards!”
Deus laughed and fluttered his hands like butterflies.
“Made it into powder!”
“Ugh!”
The subordinates screamed and ran away, and Keito also turned around.
But it was one step too late.
Deus grabbed his backside.
“Aaaahhh!”
Keito screamed. As I struggled and collapsed, the back hem of my clothes tore.
I struggled and tried to crawl, but hit my head in front of me.
I looked up and saw that it was Deus.
“Where are you just going? “I have to do the calculations and then go.”
“It’s a monster! “It’s the devil!”
“Leave all the money you have to pay for my loud and hurt feelings.”
“Do money… money!”
He took out a leather pouch from his chest
and gave it to Deus.
“ring.”
“I’ll give it to you.”
“And a necklace.”
“Yes old!”
After receiving a set of yellow gold rings and necklaces, Deus kicked his butt.
“go away. You’ll know if I see you again, right? “The power in these hands will grind you to dust.”
“Please save me!”
He rolled away and disappeared down the alley.
Deus opened his pocket and turned it inside out. Three gold coins and several silver coins rolled out.
“Damn, this is better than selling for five days. “I’d rather go from neighborhood to neighborhood, picking off gangsters in the back alleys.”
Meanwhile, Zeke was cleaning up the overturned table.
“I can’t do business here anymore.”
“Well, since we’ve had enough fun, let’s go to the next town. “I didn’t plan on sitting in one place anyway. You never know who might recognize you.”
“That’s right.”
“Butler!”
As Deus raised his voice, a piece of cloth split from the wall next to him, revealing three people: Skathul and Signi Lakhe.
