I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess - Chapter 163
163 – Gamigin (5)
Whatever the circumstances, the Emperor decided to accept Gamigin as a guest of the Empire.
There is no need to welcome the guest by sprinkling flower petals since the guest’s identity is unknown.
Still, in order to maintain a minimum standard, the current sword masters were closely monitoring Kamigin as a formality.
To be exact, I mean it.
Even though Hilia readily offered to change seats, it was useless.
What’s the point of changing seats? Just move the Gamigin and it’s over.
Because of that, I had to listen to Gamigin’s nonsense again.
“Right, are you really going to continue to ignore me like that? Didn’t you say I was your guest? I’m sure you heard me say that.”
Why the hell does this girl keep doing this?
My head started hurting really bad.
A carriage escorted by no less than six sword masters.
The imperial corps ran along the imperial road, ready to split anyone who came near it in two.
In that murderous atmosphere, Gamigin was leaning against the carriage window and chatting to me.
“Close the window and go inside. If someone sees you, things will get awkward.”
“Oh, it’s because of my horns? I completely forgot about this. Now, if I do this, it’ll be clean…”
From noble mtl dot com
Sling.
The three sword masters, including me, drew our swords.
As soon as the Demon King’s magical power moved, Isha and Hilia immediately responded.
“Okay, I made a mistake, so put the knife away.”
“You promised not to use magic, right?”
“So I’m sorry. How long do you think I’ve been using magic? I didn’t even think of this as magic.”
“Don’t make the same mistake again.”
“Yes, yes. I’m sorry.”
As soon as I put my sword in, the other two also took their lives.
Even though it was considered top-tier even in the Hilia Empire, Isha’s reaction speed was not ordinary.
Is it because he’s a sword master who specializes in infiltration and assassination rather than combat?
Even so, none of the sword masters here are easy.
Anyway, it was an unreasonable talent. I wonder when it grew to be like that.
Because of that, other sword masters were already paying attention to Isha.
If Darssian had known, he would have trembled.
Although Isha wasn’t the type of person to just go somewhere else, it seemed like she’d have to talk to Sirien sooner or later to get her treated better.
“Do you have any questions for me? The road is more boring than I thought. I thought there would be quite a few guys who would rush at me, shouting, ‘It’s the Demon King, kill him!’”
“You are His Majesty’s guest, so long as you do not cause trouble first. Doing so would be tantamount to treason.”
“I see. I was already being talked about as a traitor to my race before I came here. Humans are better at this than us.”
In fact, it may not be completely non-existent.
Right now, there are six Sword Masters holding out, so it might be difficult to do anything, but later on, after entering the system, there will be one or two gaps.
In fact, in the original work, Ellis was almost attacked by Gamigin.
“So, you really have no questions?”
“I was curious… … .”
Does that mean if I ask you, you’ll answer?
I don’t know if Gamigin will answer honestly, but this was a good opportunity in its own right.
It’s too good to miss.
The Demon King of the Abyss, Gamigin.
In fact, Gamigin was a demon king who, despite his fame, was not well known.
This is nothing new.
Although the power of the high-ranking demon lords is famous, it has been a long time since they came out of the demon territory.
Rather than being recorded properly, it is said to have been passed down in the form of legends or old tales.
Moreover, the Demon Territory on the western side of the continent is a place that is practically forbidden to humans.
Fortunately, there were no crazy warmongers among the emperors of all time.
There was no need to go deep into the Demon Territory and fight the high-ranking Demon King.
Not all records can last forever.
As time passed, information about Gamigin was lost one by one.
As a result, the Demon Kings that the Empire knew well were the ones that it frequently clashed with, the so-called hawkish Demon Kings.
If it weren’t for the original, I wouldn’t have known much about Gamigin.
“Why did you attack Eligos? I know that not all demon lords have the same dreams, but I don’t think they would kill each other.”
“Huh, I knew you’d ask that. Are those the only things you’re curious about? Like, what underwear you wore today?”
“If you don’t want to answer, I won’t answer any further.”
“Tch.”
A face that clearly shows that it is upset.
It was quite clever to turn my head sharply, but it was a tactic that would never work on me.
It might be okay for other people, but it doesn’t work for me.
Gamigin isn’t the type of person to hit on just any man.
If anything, it would be the opposite.
The so-called flower on the cliff. Later, when the empire took the pro-Demon route, Gamigin was courted by many noble spirits.
None of them had succeeded, so it was quite special for Gamigin to play so actively.
The reason why I was not shaken at all was simple.
It’s not that Gamigin doesn’t hit on ‘just any’ man, it’s just that she’s the type of person who doesn’t hit on ‘men’.
– Ellis, you look beautiful today. Would you like to go for a walk outside?
– This is it? It’s a leash. A real leather leash for dogs. Interested?
– No. What are you talking about? You can’t ask the Saintess of Asirel to do something like that. Of course I’ll be the one doing it, right?
– Have you ever thought about becoming a saint who drags the Demon King around like a dog?
A significant collaborator position among the main characters appearing in reverse harem works.
She appears as a very attractive woman, but she must not form a romantic relationship with the protagonist.
The author overcomes this problem in a very effective way.
So, Gamigin liked women, not men.
If you think about it, it’s to the point where you might think Gamigin is part of a reverse harem.
So, all of Gamigin’s actions towards me were completely selfish and selfish.
There must be something he wants from me, so he’s doing that.
I’m not sure what that is.
By the way, I’m sure that sooner or later, Sirien will come and try to monopolize me.
It was quite unfair.
“Wow. You really don’t give me a single glance? Yes. I lost. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been treated like this. Don’t ignore me, I’ll answer.”
“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to.”
“Have you ever heard that you have bad luck?”
“… … .”
“Whew. First of all, it’s a prejudice that Demon Kings don’t kill other Demon Kings. In reality, they’ve killed each other a lot. Even though I didn’t count, I think there are more Demon Kings who died at the hands of their own kind than at the hands of humans.”
Gamigin opened his mouth as if he couldn’t win.
The other sword masters also seemed to be secretly curious, and their gazes were furtively looking this way.
Those timid people. You didn’t help me at all when I was having a hard time, but you want to take this from me?
I was dying from hatred, but there was nothing I could do.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this helpless.
“I know that there are frequent fights between demons. But isn’t that limited to the lower demon lords?”
“That’s also a prejudice. It’s just that there’s no opportunity, but the conflict between the demons doesn’t discriminate between ranks. I killed Gusion just now.”
“Is it the same with Baal?”
“Baal… … . Ugh, he hits a sore spot.”
Gamigin was worried.
For a moment, it seemed as if her mask had been broken.
“Baal is an exception.”
“Because he’s special?”
“Special. That’s not wrong. To us, special means either having special utility or being uniquely strong. Baal is clearly the latter.”
Is it even right for Gamigin to say something like that?
This was the part where Edwin’s words came to mind.
Baal is strong. Those plain and common words seemed to be making sense little by little.
A strength that cannot be compared to anything else.
An incomprehensible power that can only be described with the word ‘strong’.
There must be something like that about Baal. It’s just strange that such a being didn’t appear in the original.
“Anyway, Eligos has crossed the line. He grew a bit more powerful and started not listening to me at all. If you tell him not to do something, then don’t do it. If you don’t like it, then beat me.”
“What happened?”
“I’ll tell you when we get to know each other a little better. Things are a bit complicated. Are you interested?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“I see you’re not even worried. It’s a little hurtful. Are you not thinking of coming to me? Even though I look like this, I’m still the Demon King of the Fourth Seat. I can do anything you ask me to do. Really.”
It was not worth hearing.
Anyway, if they think they have some power, why do they shout, “Hey, don’t you want to work under me?”
Excuse me. I’m not some wandering knight.
Why do people do this to people who clearly belong to a certain group?
“I have no complaints at all about the treatment I have received. If you have nothing more to say, I suggest you close the window and rest. There is still a long way to go.”
“Tch. That’s it. I didn’t expect that. Oh, then how about this? We ask each other questions and answer them.”
Gamigin speaks as if he just had a good idea.
But this time my answer was the same.
“I will decline. I am a knight and have no room for words. I would rather remain silent than say something I should not say.”
“… … .”
There was a blind spot in Gamigin’s words. If that was the rule, then it was my turn to answer this time.
You absolutely hate it? You’re just going to eat it and then close your mouth?
How could I possibly win against a woman who was fighting a battle of wits against Sirien in the first place?
If you can’t win a fight, just don’t fight it.
