The Broken Possessors of the Infinite Regression Academy - Chapter 162
Chapter 162 – Echoes – 2
“You want me to hold your hand? Not a goddess?”
“Yeah. Let’s abandon that incompetent goddess and live with me. I’ll even let you ascend to the Demon King’s throne. If you continue to stick to humans, there won’t be much good that can come of saving the world, right? Even if you save the world, you still have to follow the law, and you still have to remain a good person. The Demon King is different. Unlike human leaders, the Demon King can do whatever he wants. He obeys the strong, because that’s how the Demons live.”
“I’m not interested in the Demon King’s seat.”
“Hey, don’t do that. Even if you join hands with humans and save the world, there won’t be much good that comes of it, right? Even if you save the world, you still have to follow the law, and you have to remain a good person, and if you break the rules even a little, there will be a lot of people who will criticize you. But the Demons are different. The Demon King can do whatever he wants, unlike the leaders of humans. He absolutely obeys the strong, because that’s how the Demons live.”
Even if he wasn’t interested in the Demon King’s seat, he must have wanted to persuade me somehow by giving such a long explanation. Or he’s just the type of person who doesn’t listen to others.
Well, why would a god listen to what others say? If he just talked unilaterally, people would know to listen to him.
“There’s no need to be bound by rules. You will soon become the rule. If the Demon King says he will do it, who can dare refuse?”
“You’re here. You’re clearly a Demon King-level upgrade. I heard you made the Demon Sword too?”
“It’s okay. I don’t care what you do. I won’t interfere either. It’s always been that way. The old… … Elisier, right? She also dragged out the war for hundreds of years under the pretext of weeding out the weak demons, but I left her alone. You can really do whatever you want. I won’t care if you exterminate the demons. As long as you remain the Demon King.”
“Then what do you want?”
I didn’t understand it at all.
If you don’t care about other life to the point where you would kill all the demons, then why did you create the Demon Sword, why did it become the symbol of the Demon King, and why do you want to put me on the Demon King’s throne?
“Nothing in particular. If I had to pick one, it would be that the demons are surviving? They are closer to me than the humans who are attached to the goddess. But I don’t really care about that. As long as you stay on my side and live, the other demons can die.”
“Do you know that I feel suspicious because you are evaluating me too highly? You’re not telling me to believe you, are you?”
You tried to kill me with the power of the demon god that didn’t even appear in the original, and now you’re saying something like that? Of course, it’s normal to not believe it.
I tightened my grip on the spear. I thought I could make a surprise attack even now. I don’t know anything about the demon, so I don’t know if I can win.
‘There’s no guarantee that it won’t attack me.’
Maybe he was trying to brainwash me, or maybe he was trying to surprise me by incapacitating me and then dragging me into his territory, or maybe his behavior of praising me like that was a lie. Either way, I couldn’t let my guard down.
“Hey, don’t be so nervous. I really didn’t come here to fight.”
Masin raised both his hands up to his ears, as if he had sensed that I didn’t trust him.
“I have absolutely no intention of attacking. Even if I get hit first, I won’t fight back. So why don’t we just talk things out nicely? Okay? Seriously. Just trust me this once. Please.”
“Why me?”
“Well, that’s because fighting would only result in losses for me. I don’t know if I have a 50% chance of winning, but I don’t have anything to gain from winning. Since we fought a big game, you won’t be on my side even if you die, or you might die, and while I’m away, the goddess will do whatever she wants. Why should I do something that will only result in losses and nothing to gain?”
It seemed like he had a way of persuading me. He lowered the tip of the spear slightly.
If Masin had made such a suggestion without any special intervention in the world, I might have seriously considered the option to follow.
Because I still didn’t trust that woman. I had been fighting the spirit of the demon for too long.
But that doesn’t mean I believed in a goddess. If the time I spent with the demon was too long to believe in, then the goddess was too short to believe in.
“That’s strange. Surely my suggestion wasn’t better?”
Masin grumbled in a very distorted voice, as if he was very upset that I was still worrying about it.
“Even if you follow the goddess and save the world, you won’t get much in return. At most, you’ll receive thanks for a few years and some money. But if you become the Demon King, you can do whatever you want until you die. Have you ever met the Goddess in person? If the Goddess kills the Demon King, she’ll put you in the position of the human Demon King?”
“I rejected you because I don’t know what you did wrong. Go back and think carefully about what you did wrong.”
Even just by what you’re saying now, isn’t it obvious? You don’t even think that it was wrong to send the spirit of the demon god to strengthen the demon tribe up until now.
There was nothing I could say until he realized it himself.
“And, I don’t believe in you, but I don’t believe in a goddess either. Rather, I distrust both.”
First of all, before losing her memories, Laura had chosen either a goddess or a demon as the medium that would maintain this world, and above all, there were too many suspicious aspects to blindly believe in a goddess.
The reason why he suddenly showed a personality change when we first met was still unexplained, and the fact that he blatantly avoided me and then talked nicely to Leona were also factors that lowered my score.
The fact that they help humans is obvious, so I’m not saying much, but from my perspective, goddesses and demons are about the same.
“Oh, really? You don’t even believe in goddesses? Okay. Then I won’t say anything.”
Masin jumped up and down with a bright voice. She looked so innocent that you couldn’t believe she was Masin. Judging from her appearance, speech, and personality, she looked like a girl who had her identity hidden a bit.
‘Isn’t that guy a woman?’
I had assumed that since she was set up to be contrasted with a goddess, she would naturally have an intimidating appearance, but now that I think about it, it’s not entirely impossible for her to appear as a woman.
In any case, it is the world of yuri romance. The reason for such an adjective is not written in Laura’s diary, and even Laura doesn’t know it now.
“He must have been quite the fool. There are people who use divine powers but don’t believe in goddesses. Or was he that desperate?”
He looked down at the laughing Mashin with a hoarse voice, then suddenly opened his mouth and asked a question.
“You, is that the main body?”

Then, Masin stopped humming as if he didn’t know I would be the first to ask a question, stared at me intently, and then he let out a strange “hehehe” laugh and spun around.
“What, what? Are you curious about me? Is that so? Is that so?”
“If you don’t want to answer, that’s fine. You don’t have to listen.”
“Okay, okay. I’m impatient. Not the main body. If I had descended in person in the first place, this whole place would have dried up and died. Since I’m a clone, it can only stop at drying up the area under my feet.”
If it was a clone, there was no point in killing it. I abandoned my plan to ambush the guy. As I released my strength from the light window, the demon snorted and smiled slyly.
“Hehehe, that suits me well. I like people who are quick-witted. If you have someone like that, you’ll probably move quickly.”
“What a surprise.”
Masin laughed for a long time because he found my answer so funny.
“Ah, I guess it was a good idea to come. Actually, I’m a bit impulsive. I usually try not to show it, but sometimes it leaks out without me knowing. That’s why I was worried that things would get messed up after I did it. Fortunately, I’ve never been caught.”
Even if it had leaked out, there would have been no one to see it, so it was ridiculous to be worried that you would get caught.
“My offer is valid at all times. Okay? It’s valid until you or the warrior blows my main body off, so if you change your mind, just tell me.”
Masin, who had been listing things that weren’t even asked, waved his hand and said that it was time to go back for real.
“I’ll come back later! Do you have to give me an answer by then?”
Masin stretched his arms out over his head and waved them. It felt like watching a child excitedly on the morning of a field trip. His body, covered in black, soon melted into thin air and disappeared.
I sighed. I don’t know where all these strange things come from. I sighed.
-Wow… … .
As I was putting away the light and preparing to go back, the necklace I had kept in my pocket trembled slightly. It was the item I had used when talking to Elisier before.
I put the necklace on, hoping that it wasn’t something urgent enough to require me to contact you.
“What’s wrong, Elisier? What’s wrong?”
“I don’t have any work to do, but I have a very important question for you. Could you answer it?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Do you also think that the bigger your breasts are, the greater the calming effect?”
“… … ?”
“Okay, it’s done.”
The chairman sat down next to me with a broad smile on his face. The table in front of him was lined with all sorts of food. All of it was made by the chairman himself.
At first glance, it looked like it would be enough for 20 people. Surely she wasn’t planning on eating all of this? A shiver suddenly ran down my spine.
‘I should have said I had eaten.’
I answered truthfully. If I had said I had eaten, I could have just had a few cups of coffee or dessert.
“What would you like to try first, child? If there’s anything you want—”
“Just a moment. Before that, I have something to tell you.”
Once I get caught up in that face, there will be no end, so I have to achieve the purpose of coming here first. I looked at the chairman. To be exact, I looked at the enormous size and thickness of the mass attached to his chest.
An area of fat that couldn’t even cover a quarter, let alone half, of one side was rippling before my eyes, even if I used both hands.
“… … .”
I didn’t really want to do this, but while I was lost in thought, they were discussing for hours without coming to a conclusion, so I couldn’t help it.
‘The relationships made in this world are meaningless,’ he said.
And it was also a discussion that showed how our perspectives on this world are sharply divided. To the other Bings, except me, this world is ultimately nothing more than a novel written by Laura.
I could understand it well enough. Except for Rosaria, who had only returned four times, everyone in this world had seen the people act exactly as in the original story for hundreds of years without a single error.
Rosaria also looks relatively small when compared to Priscilla, Laura, and Elisier, but 20 years is by no means a short period of time.
Four months was simply not enough time to completely shake off the feeling that I was an intricately crafted NPC in an intricately crafted world, one that had been ingrained in me through hundreds of years of repeated regression.
So, it would be natural to say, “Why not try it out with the Chairman’s body?” After all, our relationship will all disappear when we return to the real world.
“Hey kid?”
I was lost in thought for too long, when I heard a voice calling me cautiously. I woke up from my reverie.
“Oh, I was just thinking about it for a moment. Sorry… … ?”
The way he looked at me was a little strange. It was like the gaze of a mother who was witnessing her son grow up. I wondered why, but soon realized the reason.
Since I was looking at my chest and then lost in thought, it was only natural that my gaze would remain fixed on my chest. It was obvious how the chairman would have viewed what I had just done.
“Hmm, I see. I was thinking about it for a moment. Don’t worry. I understand.”
The corners of the chairman’s eyes curved with affection, with eyes that seemed to drip with honey. He wanted to make an excuse, but he couldn’t think of one. It felt like his head had completely frozen.
“Hey, isn’t it a little hot in the room? I think you’re sweating a little.”
“Huh? What is that—”
I was about to say that there was a room temperature spell, but I closed my mouth. The chairman immediately started unbuttoning his shirt. His long fingers unbuttoned the buttons without any resistance, and only stopped after the third button.
As the button disappeared, the already tight shirt stretched out to the sides. A huge valley was visible between them. The overwhelming weight made me think the clothes would rip.
That wasn’t the end of it. She raised her elbows up to her ears, showing off her armpits, then tilted her neck slightly to look at me and started to straighten her hair that hadn’t been all that loose.
My armpits, spotless and clean, changed angles as my arms moved, revealing my inner flesh without reserve. My chest, which looked even more heavy just below it, was a bonus.
“I’m okay now. I’m sorry for showing you such a disheveled appearance.”
The chairman, who had been shaking his chest very leisurely, showing his armpits, and fixing the back of his hair, lowered his arms and smiled faintly. However, his eyes, which were curved like crescent moons, remained the same.
“Well… … why don’t you continue doing what you were doing, kid? You said you had something to say, right? Feel free to tell me as much as you want.”
The chairman put his index finger between his shirt and pulled it down gently. The faint smell of milk that had been gathering in his sternum rose with the heat and slowly seeped into his nasal passages.
“You can listen to ‘anything’ a child says?”
“… … .”
I just felt like I was emphasizing one word too much. Is it just me?
