Shake the Carrot if You Are Caught by the Devil - Chapter 142



142 – Chapter 141

“How are you?”

Nine poked her head through the slightly open door and asked. It was so easy to open, I didn’t even feel the presence.

Beside her are the party members with worried faces.

“…The fever has gone down a lot. Breathing has stabilized.”

“…That’s good. The doctor said it would be fine.”

“… Now I’ll keep watching from the sidelines, you guys go to sleep.”

“You guys, get some rest. Haven’t you been holding your ground for several hours already?”

Yuria crossed her arms and clicked her tongue.

“…Sitting is relaxing.”

In a familiar motion, she reached out her hand and wiped the sweat running down her cheek.

-Haa… Oops, haa…

-Demon King! Wake!

Although it has improved since before, when she was suffering as if her breath would stop at any moment, the irregular sound of pain from her mouth did not stop for several hours.

“… Ugh… Ugh.”

I hold my hand tighter. Her little palms are full of cold sweat.

It felt most pitiful that she tried to hold on to her with her uncharacteristically weakened grip.

“Don’t…”

Her whispered whispers spilled out of her mouth.

‘… Are you telling me not to go somewhere?’

She let out a low moan as she struggled to piece together her words.

“… That, that… Don’t be violent.”

…

What the hell is this bastard dreaming about?

…

“… Mr. Dong-ha. Where the hell…?”

“You tend to be violent… Dongha.”

“… Are you saying that now?”

The demon king turned his head around with a painful face.

“… Pumpkin sprouts, you can’t eat them if they break… Don’t be violent.”

… What else can I say. You’re talking about pumpkins.

I take a break when I’m sick. She’s a diligent woman who farms even in her dreams.

Still, it was fortunate that her vitality seemed to have returned when she even had dreams like this.

“Dongha. Here.”

Rebecca dampened the towel she had been drying. She removed the original dry towel and placed it on the demon king’s forehead, where a slight fever remained.

-Steel Puck

Her eyebrows start to tremble as if the newly applied water is cold, forming a V, revealing her hostility.

“… Uuu, ice magic… Intruder… Meteor Drive…”

Her intruders visited her while she was sleeping and she wrote her Meteor Drive in her sleep.

– Beans

“Ouch.”

-Degur

A small magic circle formed on the top of my head, and a stone fell.

The mana has weakened to some extent… That scary meteorite has become so small.

…

I grabbed a stone that had fallen on the floor.

The stone quickly crumbled to dust even with a little force.

*

“I have to go back tomorrow.”

I came out of the room and spoke to the four gathered in the living room.

They didn’t sleep until late because they had been making various things for several days and nights.

…

Before he collapsed, at the end, the demon king said he had to return to the tower.

…

… The reason why the demon king is sick right now doesn’t seem to be a simple cold.

I knew something I didn’t want to know.

If you get off the top of the tower, not only does your magic power weaken, but it also brings illness to your body like now.

…

“… f*ck…”

It was said that she would be subordinated to the tower and unable to leave.

You can also stay here in Urupu.

We cannot return to Earth together.

…

This means that you have to go back to your daily routine of facing the intruders who come to kill you in the dark tower, as you have done so far.

‘…’

Rather.

I’d rather she didn’t know that a place like this existed.

Then she wouldn’t know that she was unhappy, and she would have been strong in the tower.

…

Now, the Demon King has to leave this place painted in her favorite color, and she must go and live at the top of the dark tower.

… Being invaded by someone stronger than her.

…

At that time, Nine Demonic Swords standing obliquely on the wall caught my eye.

…

‘What kind of bizarre delusions… Are you spreading?’

When you’re cornered, you end up snooping around using all sorts of means.

…

To ask them to live in the demon king’s castle and play the role of watchmen protecting the demon king from now on.

…

‘No.’

If the party of warriors, who are already in the spotlight, disappears overnight without completing their term, they will be pursued.

In the process, of course, they would send search parties to the tower again and again. Even if we continue to repulse the incoming troops, erase and manipulate their memories, and drive them out of the tower, the organizations that sent them outside the tower will quickly become suspicious and recognize the danger of the tower.

Then, the tower will not be a hideout for harmless demons as it is now, but will become the stronghold of the massive evil that destroyed the warrior party. A full-fledged subjugation force will be formed, and the Allied Powers, united in a semblance of peace, will pour in support from all over the world under good-natured justifications such as , , And .

Since the tower has already been wiped out up to the 99th floor, it is literally like blowing your nose without touching your hands, putting a spoon on it and taking a place in the world peace takeoff.

…

In other words, at that time, it will not be just a small number of powerful people who have hatred for the demon lord like now.

At that time, even the girls will surely die.

…

‘No, even if I leave this reason…’

Telling them to spend the rest of their lives tied up on top of the tower is a bad thing.

…

Yes.

There is nothing different from before.

Everything just goes back to the way it was before.

To the place where the lonely demon king should be.

To the place where her friend used to be.

After spending a few days like a dream, it’s just that my heart has become dull.

…

I noticed the party members sitting around the board game board and nodding off.

“… We were supposed to play together… But we couldn’t keep our promise.”

In the center of the living room, the military police and thieves board game set earlier is still there.

I have already prepared the devil’s game money and game horse.

So that she can start playing anytime when she comes back.

… The party members were waiting for the demon king to heal. The dice are still in Rebecca’s hand.

“… This time, I’m going to team up with the demon king.”

Rebecca was in tears.

The rest of her patted her hand, soothing her.

“The Demon King is sick. There will be another opportunity next time. Rebecca.”

“It’s okay. Dongha. You can also rest now.”

… I must have waited a long time.

They were upset that they couldn’t play the game they had been waiting for. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel like rolling the dice either.

“… I’ll sleep first.”

*

“… Mmm.”

I had just opened my eyes, but out of habit I reached out my hand to her forehead. I hope her skin cools down a little.

-Stutter

‘…’

The Demon King was not where he was supposed to be.

-Flutter

Instead, a piece of paper was in her hand.

-Beep

Raise your upper body and lift the paper.

My vision is blurry, so I cover my eyes with my forearm and read the crooked type slowly.

＜Let’s have fun even on the trip! Paper cranes and I are worried about crops and peeps, so we’ll go first. Oh, if you find a melon banana tree when you come, be sure to buy it. I will plant it in the field.

PS – If you and Geumdong don’t return to the tower after a long time, what will happen is as follows.

1) Little Farm Golden Potatoes I’m going to use 100 of them a day.

2) Geumdong’s favorite Tore one piece a day.

3) I won’t eat carrots, which I used to eat a spoonful of every week. The demon king is likely to die of malnutrition. How is it? Are you scared? Isn’t it terrible

4) Can’t kiss the devil.

Aside from that, there were several warnings.

I haven’t read all of them. Below that was a much longer body.

＜… Sorry. No matter what I say, you won’t want to come back…? Leaving such a wonderful Urupu… Such a dark stone castle… I don’t think I would hate it either.＞

“…”

＜… That’s why. I know I’m a really selfish and mean girl… But could you please treat me like coming back after playing here a little longer? I’m playing here enough to get tired of it. We ate a lot of delicious food, went fishing, and played games together…＞

I couldn’t see this part because it was smeared with water.

…

“…”

＜… Come back.＞

…

I put the letter down.

A sick child… Why did he go alone?

It was full of excuses from the beginning, whether it was crops or chicks, but he wanted to stay longer, but that didn’t work, so he went first, afraid that we might ruin our trip because of him.

…

And I feel sorry for calling me and Geumdong from Urupu to the Dark Tower again.

…

There is something she is misunderstanding.

I also like Urupu.

But that’s because she was next to her smiling brightly in her urupu. It was because everyone was kind to the outcast demon king.

Without her by her side, this place has no meaning to me.

-Sharak

Yesterday she collapsed and took out her Urupu residency application, which was roughly crumpled in her pocket.

-Chieik, chiik

I tore everything without any regrets.

I folded only the crooked letter she left behind and put it in her pocket.

*

I asked the pension owner to come out to Min-sik’s shop address and deliver the letter from the demon king. I wanted you to understand that I can only say hello in this way.

… This will be the last one.

The party members who made games for us and prepared fireworks for several days are asleep without knowing the world. It’s a place I can’t come often to them, so I took a good rest and left a letter expressing my regret that we had to leave like this and my gratitude for the past.

…

Then he woke Geumdongi and explained the circumstances.

“…So what about Geumdong?”

I asked Geumdong quite seriously.

I decided to hang out with her in her tower.

The gilt bronze may be different. There are many things that Geumdong likes in the outside world. The warrior party kids also really like Geum-dong, so she might want to stay with them.

… Either way, I will respect Giltbron’s wishes.

But at my words, Geumdong puts on an expression of displeasure.

“Wow, that’s embarrassing. Aren’t I also a member of the Demon King’s family!? Without me, who will walk the chicks?”

“…”

She smiled and put the gold bowl in her bag.

I hurriedly packed all my stuff and was about to leave, but Nine was waiting outside the door.

“Dongha. Take this.”

What she handed over was her money bag.

She did not refuse.

Because the fare and train ticket prices were ambiguous.

Thank you instead.

“Thank you. Nine. Still not following…”

“Yeah… I’m not going. Then the demon king would be very sorry. That’s why the demon king also went out secretly.”

…

“… I have to go now. I wrote my words in a letter on the bed.”

“… hehehe. Dongha.”

“…Yes.”

“Next time we see each other, can we pretend we’re friends?”

…

Her smile mixed with regret.

…

I didn’t hate Nine anymore. Hatred toward them feels like a very old emotion.

“Yes. See you next.”

“Goodbye. Nine!”

Nine, who was greeted by me and Keumdong, also smiled awkwardly.

“…Goodbye.”

She waves her hand, runs past her, runs her way.

*

“… Whoops, whoops. Ha…”

After crossing the border, we arrived at the wharf where ships are moored. The Demon King had already crossed the sea. He boarded the fastest ship.

The only paradise in this world has gone farther away.

*

Just like when I came, I rode the carriage and walked non-stop to the train station. As before, she worried that maybe she was falling for a bad cheater, and her steps were busy.

Because it was early in the morning, there were not too many passengers in the waiting seats and there was no demon king.

You’ve already left.

I hurried to the ticket office…

-… Dongha! Excuse me.

From noble mtl dot com

Geumdong called quietly. She looked where her doll’s fingers were headed.

“… Huh?”

At that time, a flower beggar lying face down under an unmanned vegetable truck caught my eye.

When I got closer, it was the demon king.

“… Uzza, uuu…”

Close to the ground, put your hand in and fumble under the truck. Like someone looking for coins under a soda vending machine.

“What are you doing?”

The demon king, taken aback by those words, looked up at me.

– Heck!!

I’ve never heard of the tide screaming.

Her eyes, which have widened and widened, look like ‘why is he here?’

-Sleep

Put your forehead under your bangs. There was still a slight fever.

“…”

My big mouth doesn’t close. I think it’s broken.

“… What are you doing there?”

…

She still has a bad complexion and holds an old dinosaur wallet in her hand.

She says, blushing and avoiding her gaze.

“Ooh, ooh… The train ticket price was a bit short…”

…

That’s why you left in style and went looking under the vegetable truck…

I was a pretty desperate lover.
