The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken - Chapter 45



45 – The Demon King’s daughter (colleague?) – 2

While heading to the Fairy Land to obtain the holy sword, I encountered an unexpected person.

At first, I thought it was just an ordinary demon, a girl like that, but when she introduced herself afterwards, I honestly couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

The daughter of the demon king, it was not a story that could be easily overlooked.

‘Could that demon king have a daughter?’

Did you say Demon King Irnal? The Demon King once introduced his name to me.

It wasn’t that I knew the demon king well or anything like that, but I never thought that I would have a daughter.

Not only in appearance, but also in feeling, it didn’t feel like a mother with a child.

‘Am I really the daughter of the demon king in the first place?’

Also, to say that they are mother and daughter, the two do not look alike at all.

Excluding the appearance unique to the demon tribe, the demon king and the demon girl in front of me now had completely different feelings.

Compared to the demon lord I know, as a living creature, she makes an unknown expression to the point of being fatal, and exudes a meticulous feeling.

The woman in front of me now didn’t look that way.

It’s kind of like a cold, cold feeling.

Although they are not contradictory, it would be unreasonable to say that these two are mother and daughter, as they clearly have different energy.

‘Should I believe it…?’

Because of that, I had no choice but to hesitate for a moment.

It’s like the fact that she suddenly introduced herself as the daughter of the devil, and if she was the daughter of the real devil, she would definitely be on the devil’s side, but in that case, she was my enemy.

That’s why I was suspicious of this demon girl at first, but…

‘Let’s get it right, shall we listen to the story?’

Well, maybe there’s some circumstances? Even if it wasn’t that, there was no hostility towards me.

If you do well, you might be able to gather information.

Of course, I would never trust this demon girl, but I might find something that would benefit me.

‘For now, I can’t see it from a human point of view.’

And she could have really been the devil’s daughter.

You shouldn’t judge by appearance or feeling.

There are plenty of mothers who don’t look like their daughters, and it doesn’t make sense to say that they look like their fathers.

I certainly shouldn’t be so quick to judge.

I just kind of understood it and nodded my head.

While thinking about that, the moment I decided to listen to the story.

“I am Trina, the daughter of the demon lord Asmodeus. I am the direct successor of the demon lord.”

“Hmm…?”

I couldn’t help but think that my thoughts were fundamentally wrong.

A demonic woman introducing herself, she said the name of a demon king she had never heard of, Asmodeus, not the name I knew.

The name of the demon king I know must be Irnar…? This girl was talking about a different demon lord than the one I knew.

Who is Asmodeus?

I couldn’t help but be a little hesitant at the words of the demon girl in front of me.

“Wait. Who is Asmodeus? The current demon king’s name must be Irnal.”

And with such a shy expression and words, I couldn’t help but ask who it was.

Are you saying that there are at least two demon lords right now?

Or is Asmodeus another name for Irnal? I asked the girl in front of me to understand this slightly erroneous statement.

“It’s called Irnal… That Demon King isn’t the original Demon King.”

The girl in front of me turned her head slightly in anger and answered.

With a face that seemed to have something very wrong.

He’s not the original Demon King…?

“Hmm… Can you elaborate a bit?”

I might be quite interested in the story.

First of all, it seemed that there was a need to hear the story.

The demon girl calmly started talking about what had happened.

# # #

I decided to listen to the story, so I was able to hear a lot of stories from Trina, a girl who claims to be the daughter of the demon king.

“Hmm… that’s how it turned out.”

Roughly, Trina’s story was as follows.

One day, an unidentified demon with silver hair was suddenly summoned to the Demon Castle, and the demon with silver hair was hostile to the existing demons.

The demon with silver hair started killing other demons one by one, and the demon king saw it and stepped out to stop her.

The silver-haired demon possessed powers of a truly different dimension.

The existing demon king, Asmodeus, fought with her in order to somehow survive, but she was no match at all.

The demon king died, and all the other demons also died.

All existing demons disappeared from just one demon, and she reigned as the demon king herself.

It was said that the demon was Irnal, the current demon king.

“Is it a demon from another dimension?”

After hearing that, I had no choice but to take a moment to think.

To be honest, if you think about it with common sense, you could of course dismiss this as bullshit, but it wasn’t a line that you would think with common sense.

If you look at the story that he came from another dimension and the devil’s uncommon appearance, it was a story with enough possibilities.

“Somehow, there were a lot of strange parts.”

The history of the empire is only 700 years, and the life span of demon kings is generally 100 years, but the demon king seemed to have lived for several thousand years.

Even the demon lords in the ancient literature and the powers they had from their appearance were just on a different level.

Also, if you look at the demons I didn’t know, the first commander of the demon army, etc., this story was certainly full of credibility.

In addition to that, there are many situations that can only be explained as having really crossed the dimension.

To be honest, I couldn’t help but feel almost convinced of what the demon girl said, even though there was absolutely no proof.

Certainly the information about the irnal that this girl did was true.

Once I was certain of that, it felt like things that had been questioning me for some reason had been resolved.

“But so what?”

But that’s not what’s important right now.

The words of this demon have some credibility, and it’s a reliable story, but I’ll think about it later, isn’t that what’s important right now?

No matter how you think about it, the important thing right now was this demon.

What on earth was this demon who informed me of this information, what was this demon thinking in giving me this information?

“What is the purpose of coming to see me?”

Of course, it wouldn’t have been given for free.

Clearly, there must be a purpose.

I asked the demon what the purpose of coming to me was.

“What, do you want me to take revenge?”

To roughly predict from a human point of view, ask for revenge on the demon woman who killed her father?

I guess that’s kind of a request…

“No, no need for revenge.”

After all, I feel that the perspective of the demons is definitely different from the perspective of humans.

The demonic girl who said that I didn’t need revenge. Her expression certainly wasn’t one of wanting revenge.

“In the world of demons, the weak are weeded out, and my father lost as the demon king, so that’s natural.”

I didn’t feel any connection as a family.

Although he is a father, he felt like that was all he had, and it was natural to lose.

“I have only one purpose. I just want to win. That demon.”

Then, there was only one reason why this demon girl was angry.

It was a sense of defeat.

Anger, frustration, humiliation, etc. toward Irnal, who overtook himself, who had to reign as a demon, and occupied the position of the demon king.

I wanted to overcome so many emotions.

I don’t understand those feelings, and I feel like they’re all useless.

Well… the demon’s point of view is different.

“So please accept me as your ally…!”

Anyway, that’s why you want to fight alongside me.

It seems that he wants to defeat the demon lord with me.

“Hmm…”

Did I mention her name is Trisa?

No, it was Trina.

After hearing Trina’s words, I hesitated for a moment.

Do you accept me as a colleague?

‘What do we do?’

I had a moment to think.

I started calculating profit and loss for a while on whether or not to accept Trina as an ally…

so after a while

The profit and loss account was completed.

“That’s not going to work. I won’t accept you as a colleague.”

The decision according to the fruit of my profit and loss account was a rejection.

No matter how much I thought about it, Trina couldn’t be my ally.

“…?”

Trina was taken aback by my words, as if she hadn’t expected it at all.

She immediately started questioning me.

“Why on earth? What is the reason? Is it because I’m a demon that they won’t accept me?”

She had a slightly resentful look on her face, and an emotional expression on her face.

I asked if he was rejecting his request with preconceived notions.

“Or do you not believe what I am saying? Why?”

Otherwise, he asked if he was rejecting himself because he still had no credit.

She was quite resentful of not being accepted as a colleague.

“If that’s the case…”

And I tried to suggest another way to solve the problem.

To somehow get into my teammates.

“I’m sorry… but that’s not the problem.”

However, Trina’s guess was only her own illusion.

I felt the need to correct Trina’s misunderstanding.

“Then why?”

“Yeah…”

The reason I don’t accept Trina is because she’s a demon?

Is she out of credit?

Of course, such issues cannot be ignored.

It wasn’t pleasant from my point of view to still be a teammate with the demons.

It was also true that there was no trust.

Certainly there is no reason not to take it because of such a problem, although I have been sitting.

But compared to the biggest problems, they were nothing.

A very, very fundamental problem with not receiving Trina.

“Yeah, you… you look so weak…”

It didn’t seem like it would be helpful to have him as a colleague.
