The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 104
104. The Demon King (4)
Me, the Demon King, and her right-hand man
In the great hollow of the Demon King’s Castle where only three people are located
There was only suffocating silence.
I took a deep breath to calm my mind and opened my mouth.
“The goal presented to you by existence S is to kill people, is that correct?”
“So it is.”
“I have long since seen your goal. So it would be better to also tell you about the mission given to me. As you said, it doesn’t make sense.”
“Ho…”
It was the devil with a satisfied sigh and sparkling eyes.
Because of the reverse eye, my eyes felt even more burdensome, so I avoided eye contact for no reason.
“I really want to know. Come on, let’s talk.”
I think for a moment about the anxious demon king Chakanbaatar.
‘I don’t know if it’s a given mission or not… ‘
The name of existence S and the knowledge about the Demon King are literally nothing more than ‘rice cake’.
I can’t give her a clear answer like she wants.
But…
The devil in front of me doesn’t even have the slightest knowledge I have.
‘Then you can make it up appropriately.’
According to the Demon King’s words, I am being loved by a being called S.
In that case, you can just make it up here through improvisation and acting.
Because she knows very little other information.
“If your goal is to kill people, my goal is similar.”
“What if it’s similar?”
“I guess you could say it’s exactly the opposite. The goal given to me is to kill all demons.”
The die has been cast.
I swallowed my saliva for no reason and watched the Demon King’s reaction.
She lowered her head as if in shock after hearing what I said.
Her shoulders she was shaking intermittently …
When Rumclad and I looked at each other and exchanged strange looks
Haha!”
The Demon King threw her back and burst into laughter.
“Demon King… Why are you doing that?”
“Oh, I’m sorry about this. It’s been a long time since I heard interesting news… Haha.”
The Demon King was so funny that he laughed with tears in his eyes.
The Demon King laughed even more and placed his hand on my shoulder.
“After… Being S is also truly evil. “You gave me similar goals and chose such a weak person.”
“…?”
What kind of new tea bagging is this?
The Demon King looked down at me with pitiful eyes.
But her reaction was a new opportunity given to me.
She can stand against her and prolong her life.
“Like you said, I don’t have the power to annihilate all demons. He was even captured by Mr. Rumclad and kidnapped here.”
“Wow, I thought you were arrogant, but you know your situation well.”
Rumclad intervened needlessly, but did not blink an eye.
The important thing is not to lose momentum here.
I continued what he said without even looking at him.
“But I will not follow the goals set by being S. Unlike others.”
“…”
In the moment the atmosphere became cold, I looked into the demon king Chakanbaatar.
The gaze intersecting with the empty eyes of his, wondering what he was thinking.
Even with those creepy eyes, I finished what I wanted to say.
“It means that I will not foolishly follow the mission given by existence S.”
“You bastard! Are you trying to taunt the Demon King now?”
My body, which was standing fine, plummeted to the floor.
This was because Rumclad, who could not hold back his anger, grabbed the back of my head and hit me.
My head was pounding as I rolled around in the dust.
Eventually, the entire Demon Castle trembled with a loud noise of something exploding.
“Demon Lord… ?”
Rumclad’s grip weakened him and he could barely raise his head.
In that place where I stumbled and barely looked up
The Demon King was stretching out his right hand, emitting reluctant magical energy-
From noble mtl dot com
Where her right hand stretched out, the huge throne disappeared without a trace.
“It’s fun, very fun.”
The devil’s head came back to me, giggling.
The sight of a wide smile without smiling eyes at all.
It was a smile that felt grotesque because it overlapped with her appearance.
“As expected, it was a good thing I brought you here… “
For some reason, the situation is calling me in an ecstatic voice
Both Rumclad and I just stared blankly at her misfortune.
* * *
[Yes, your bully is so stupid. So what do we do now?]
‘…Well.’
[Well, I guess! Wasn’t there a plan for something?!]
The guest room that I finally returned to in complete disrepair.
I could barely lie down in bed, exhausted both mentally and physically.
Miho’s reprimand came right away.
I closed my eyes for a moment while listening to Miho’s harsh words that made my ears sting.
[Now are you just going to lie down and take a nap?]
‘Miho, how was your life as a god and absolute being?’
[What kind of nonsense is that?]
‘I’m just curious. Suddenly.’
From her perspective, it may have sounded like she was making an explicit topical statement, but it wasn’t.
A divine being, and an absolute being.
That applies to Miho, but it also applies to the current demon king, Chakanbaatar.
Miho seemed to have noticed my expression and spoke obediently.
[Well, to be honest, it was boring. Because there was no sentient being that I could not break through trials.]
‘…If I think about it now, I really don’t have bad taste.’
[In the past, there were many people who would turn a blind eye to such hardships and overcome them, but these days, people are so lacking in spirit.]
‘That’s right, I heard there wasn’t a single person who received the imprint.’
[…Where can something that looks like a lump of blood talk back to you? You don’t have enough respect for your elders.]
I smiled at her and continued the conversation with her.
In an alien space called the Demon King with no one to rely on
If it weren’t for Miho, I might have already gone half crazy.
‘Then why did you suddenly choose me?’
[Because it was fun. It was the first time in hundreds of years that a crazy person had overcome an ordeal at such a young age, faster than anyone else, and with such earnestness.]
‘…Are we now treated as monsters?’
I don’t know why people think of me as a superhuman or a great person…
To sum up what she said, she chose me purely for ‘fun’.
When she heard those words, it felt like something sparked in her head.
‘Just like Miho felt, I will also attack the Demon King for fun.’
[The princess you have been with since you were young, the big-breasted child you met at the ordeal, and the princess of the empire are not enough, so now you are trying to attack the devil lord!]
‘No, it’s not a strategy in that sense-‘
[Good night! I allow it!]
No, they are going on a rampage to kill all humans, but what is being allowed?
She managed to shed the doubts that were rising to the tip of her chin to the other side of her unconsciousness.
The story kept taking strange turns, but in the end, I came to one conclusion.
‘Demon King Chakanbaatar has never been lost before. So she’s going to let her taste her defeat her ‘
[Hoo, so this is a strategy to say, ‘You are the first man to treat me like this!’]
‘It’s not wrong, but… No, where on earth did you hear that?’
[More than that, can you, who are still so weak, really be able to defeat the devil?]
Miho’s voice her her her, which had been joking all along, suddenly became serious.
If you think about it carefully, it was true.
The Demon King was a being who had never lost to anyone until now.
Sure, she has the title of the strongest character in the story, but her story itself is like that.
Because there was no one who could compete with her, who had already reached the level of ‘completion’ in her fighting skills since she was young.
Because he was such a Chakan Baatar, he was able to become the Demon King at a young age and still ascend to the throne.
In the merit-based demon society, the reason he was able to maintain the throne for so long was purely ‘skill’.
Nevertheless, there was only one reason why ‘feeling of defeat’ was presented as the devil’s strategy point.
-Ugh… Bringing defeat to this body…
The scene shown by Chakan Baatar when he defeated the final boss, the Demon King.
The revealing outfit becomes completely tattered and reveals even more of her skin.
The line she spoke in that situation became a hot topic in many ways.
-Defeat is… It feels strangely good.
A superman who reigned as the world’s loser and did not tolerate even a single defeat.
What she felt from her first defeat was a sense of pleasure that was not Daum’s.
‘That’s right, because there’s nothing more fun than winning every time.’
Just as Miho was interested in me overcoming her ordeal
Chakanbaatar, the absolute ruler, would also be interested in the surprise of defeat.
‘Even so, it would be difficult to create such a situation through combat.’
[Then what do you mean?]
As Miho said, I am still weak.
Although he is a strong player in the intermediate class, he must rise to the rank of the strongest in the world as well as in the advanced class in order to defeat the Demon King.
That includes all party members, including me.
‘I plan to bet on her in my own way.’
[Ho… ]
Since she had no chance of winning the battle, she decided to inflict her defeat in another way.
Through an extraordinary match, I had to escape from the devil’s toy and stand on equal footing.
Only then will Chakanbaatar release me and I can return to Arlot.
[So what is the method?]
‘That… ‘
A desperately devised way to win.
I started explaining it to Miho in detail.
