The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 106



106. The Demon King (6)

Not much time had passed since I left my room with my left arm in tears

It felt like rumors were spreading widely within the Demon King Castle.

“The recently captured human made him cry… “

“Hey, we made eye contact! Get murdered!”

“Run away!”

… He heard those words while he was walking around the castle for a while.

Not even a day had passed, but I was a little worried because the rumor seemed to be getting out of hand.

‘It will work out somehow.’

The water has already been spilled, so why should I think any more?

“You did something very interesting.”

“Ah, Mr. Rumclad.”

Rumclad appeared, glaring at me disapprovingly.

“The Demon King is calling you. Waltz Schmitz.”

“Is that so. Please guide me.”

“…You have really bad taste.”

“Yes?”

Rumclad closed his mouth after saying those words.

No matter how hard I tried to talk to him, he didn’t seem to want to talk to me.

I had no choice but to follow him back

“Here is…” ?”

A small fortress that feels like a huge villa located behind the Demon King’s Castle.

When I entered, there was a well-decorated banquet hall,

In one corner of the banquet hall, a stage reminiscent of a wrestling ring was prepared.

“There are a lot of demons.”

It was difficult to see demons other than servants working in the Demon King’s Castle.

I don’t know where the demons came from, but the banquet hall was filled with uniquely dressed demons.

Demons with horns, demons that look like reptiles, demons that look like goats, etc…

As I was looking through them intently, I realized one thing.

‘They’re all looking at me, right?’

It seemed like they were talking haha, but in reality, only the superficial sounds of conversation rang hollowly.

If I wasn’t mistaken, everyone in the banquet hall was paying attention to me.

Some people are looking directly at me while others are glaring at me.

What is certain is that there was hostility rather than curiosity in the eyes of the object called ‘human’.

“…Go up on stage.”

Rumclad, who arrived at the banquet hall, disappeared into the crowd as soon as he finished speaking.

He looked like an old man and walked away from me

I followed his instructions and went up to the stage set up in the middle of the banquet hall.

Immediately after, something like a bizarre portal opened and the devil appeared.

“Are you here? Schmitz.”

“Why did you call me?”

The devil looks at me with a bright smile.

With her appearance, the banquet hall became so silent that you could hear the sound of breathing.

In the silence, only my voice and that of the Demon King rang out.

“I heard the story. “They said it made him cry.”

“Hmm… “I didn’t mean to make you cry.”

It was the devil who asked, ‘Did you make my baby cry?’

It’s true that it made me cry, but honestly, it was unfair.

Anyway, I didn’t expect you to cry while playing the game.

“Well, it’s good. It’s a small incident that happened while competing. “This body doesn’t care much.”

“Thank you.”

“However, I was a little intrigued by the game you were betting on.”

The Demon King’s eyes once again sparkled with competitive spirit and curiosity

I looked at her quietly and swallowed her dry saliva.

The opportunity came sooner than expected.

“Do you understand why I called you here today, Schmitz?”

“I think I understand. “The reason you called me.”

“What do you think?”

I grinned as I met the gaze of Demon Lord Chakanbaatar.

“Isn’t it okay to make the Demon King cry this time?”

She didn’t take any specific action.

He just grinned, showing his vicious shark teeth at my words.

And so, the battle against the devil has finally begun.

* * *

Because Coin Toss was a simple game for experimentation,

To compete against the devil, a game with proper rules was necessary.

And it is a luck game where I can make good use of my luck, but it also has a fairly long play time.

“It’s my turn, so please bring the prole here.”

“OK. “If you use suspicious tactics, I won’t let you go.”

“So, didn’t I tell you that such a cowardly move is impossible?”

I received four large pieces of wood from her.

A familiar piece of wood that is half round and half flat and fits comfortably in the hand

A traditional holiday game imbued with the wisdom of our ancestors.

What I brought out to compete with the devil was none other than Yutnori.

… To be exact, it was something similar to the imperial tradition of Yutnori.

In terms of setting, it seemed similar in that it was a traditional game since it had been around for a very long time.

‘Although there are a lot of luck elements, the game itself is highly addictive and fun.’

Frol was a very suitable person in these two aspects.

Anyone who has played Yutnori will know where it can be fun.

The joy and despair of being caught by a horse just before arrival.

A thrill that depends on luck to determine whether or not you can catch the other person’s piece.

At the same time, there is a strategic aspect depending on the placement and order of the pieces, so it is not just a game of luck, but there is also a skill element.

As if to prove that my choice was right, the Demon King was in an unprecedentedly excited state.

“Pahaha! Hey, Director of Strategy. What do you think of the current situation?”

“Ah, that’s… “

At some point, an old demon was called to the side of the demon king.

Since he was called the head of the strategy department, he was probably quite an intelligent person.

… However, she only looked like her granddaughter, who was enjoying her game, and her grandfather, her playing with her.

“This is my first time seeing this type of game… When viewed objectively, it is true that the situation on the human side is more advantageous.”

“Hmm, why is that?”

“Our side didn’t have a single horse pass, but the human side got three horses through to the finish line.”

The strategy manager’s sharp prediction followed.

As he said, I sent 3 out of 4 horses to the finish line, and the Demon King did not send even one.

Therefore, it was true that I had an overwhelming advantage when looking only at ‘whether the horse passed or not’.

However, considering the current horse’s situation, the probability of me losing was very high.

“However, the Demon King has now united four horses into one and is located close to the arrival point. On the other hand, the one remaining human horse has not even started yet.”

Haha! “You are right.”

“That is why, when the next turn comes, there is a high probability that the Demon King will win.”

The head of the strategy department may have seen the game Yutnori for the first time, but he analyzed it perfectly.

From the beginning, the Demon King stacked several ‘geols’ and united four pieces into one,

I worked hard on the horse without being caught by me, and before I knew it, there was only one step left to reach the destination.

It was a critical situation in which the game would end as soon as the devil came out with a ‘dog’ in the next turn.

‘On the other hand, I only sent three horses to the destination, but the remaining one did not even start.’

If you think about it with common sense, it would have made no sense for me to reach the finish line before her.

It was a situation where at least 3 or 4 yuts and bristles were needed to make it possible to throw the yut once more.

As the head of the strategy department said, it can be said that the devil won with almost 100% probability.

In other words, it meant that there was a good chance of losing.

“That human being has won the game himself, so why can’t he do this?”

“I’d rather cheat. Even if he brings what he knows well and what he can do well, it is not enough… “

“Tsk tsk. “For a guy like that to represent humanity, humans are extremely vile.”

From noble mtl dot com

It was a story about high-ranking demons who drank alcohol as a snack while watching games on stage.

Even if I didn’t want to hear it, it was difficult to ignore the sarcasm and criticism that pierced my ears.

I wonder what kind of good things I, a human, will hear in a place full of demons…

Still, now the time has come to end the ‘competition’.

“Let’s get started.”

“Oh, my last struggle will be in vain. Haha! Instead, you will have to work under me forever.”

“I believe that you will grant my wish.”

Before her match, she recalls the promise she made with her.

If I win, you will grant me one wish.

If she wins, I will work hard under her and live as her subordinate forever.

Of course, I didn’t want to lose, so I just decided.

‘Moon Rock Dice Activated.’

The number that comes out with the dice being activated is ‘6’.

I was anxious about what I would do if a low number came out, but it was completely resolved.

I smiled comfortably and threw the yut naturally –

My turn lasted for a few minutes.

“What the hell is this… ” “

“You’re crazy! How can you do that!”

“It’s clearly some kind of trick, how can something like that..!”

When the throwing joke Yut or Mo appeared, the mouths of the demons who laughed at it fell.

The community, once filled with contemptuous criticism, only occasionally hears shock and lamentation.

My horse, which had advanced at such a rapid pace, had already followed right behind the four horses that the Demon King had put together-

“Oh no, I will catch what the Demon King says.”

“…”

“I’ve caught the horse, so I’ll throw it one more time.”

The Demon King stared in fascination as her words

Eventually, my card that was thrown was again ‘Yut’.

Since Yut was only one step away from the destination, the game ended as is.

As soon as my horse landed at the destination, the game prepared for Yut was overturned.

“This is invalid… It’s clear that some kind of trick was used. Head of the magic attribute Department!”

“Yes, yes!”

“Detect his body, Yut, and the game board immediately!”

“I understand!”

In an instant, my body was completely surrounded by chains, and the magic manager slowly approached me.

Even before he arrived, I had already grabbed the devil’s hand and turned off the dice buff.

In the first place, the moon rock dice were not separate from magic but were a dedicated effect, so they could not be discovered.

The magic power manager came out for a while and looked at the Yut tools, but he was only sweating.

“Well, Demon Lord… “I apologize, but no magical activity has been detected.”

“…That can’t be right.”

Is the person who said he was the head of the Strategy Department also skilled in magic?

Fortunately, the old devil did not lie.

Because no series of magical actions occurred in my body.

In the end, I won against the devil, and now it’s my turn to receive the reward.

“Now, will you grant my wish as you promised? My wish is for you to release me from this place in the Demon King’s Castle right now-“

“Shut up.”

A low voice full of seriousness.

Feeling goosebumps rising all over my body, I cast my gaze towards the Demon King,

There was a handful of blood next to her.

It was clearly the location of a demon called the head of the magic department.

“It’s a shame that the position of head of the magic department is not possible because I can’t feel the weak magic that even I can feel.”

“…”

“I will ask my fellow demons! “If there is anyone who cannot feel the evil energy of human magic, raise your hand!”

There was no crazy person who raised his hand in a situation where his colleague was immediately covered in blood.

In a quiet situation where we just kept an eye on each other, I thought it was a mistake.

… I never thought it would come out like this.

“You used her tricks to win, so she will pay the price.”

“Where on earth is this deception-“

“Look, throw him in the dungeon right away!”

Armed demons came from somewhere along with the demon king’s loud cry.

It was only then, as I was dragged by their outrageous gestures, that I realized something was wrong.

Even if it’s wrong, it’s definitely wrong.

“Wow!”

After being dragged around like a dog for a while, I was thrown into a dark space without a single ray of light.

It was a rotten solitary confinement room, no bigger than a goshiwon space.

For a while, I had to lead a life worse than that of a human being in that crappy space…

It was almost a month later that the devil came to visit me after a prison life that was close to torture.
