The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 108
108. The Demon King (8)
“Schmitz, when are you coming…” ” ” ?”
A woman crawling, dragging her whole body.
Her beautiful white straight hair became dull and her eyes were puffy and lifeless.
It was Eral de Arlot, the girl I missed so much.
“It’s already been over a month… Since she can’t drink your blood, the cold overtakes her and makes it difficult for her to breathe. Please come back please… “
The sight of her holding my leg and pleading.
Even though I wanted to close her eyes and turn my head, my body she didn’t move.
A terrible time that seems like eternity passes

“…Huh!”
I barely opened my eyes and jumped out of bed.
Her whole body was covered in cold sweat and a mess.
I tried not to be conscious of it, but… I guess it was no longer possible.
If the worries about Arlot that she had been holding back were even present in her dreams.
‘It must be harder for Arlot than for me.’
It’s already been a month and a few more days since I came to the Demon King’s Castle.
The appropriate number of times I transfuse blood to Arlot is once a month.
At this point, more than a month has already passed, and Arlott is probably feeling the pain of her past again.
I felt like my spirit wouldn’t be able to withstand hearing news about her, so I even asked the devil not to bring me news about her.
There is a limit to what I can think about anyway,
I shook out my hair vigorously and then took care of my body
After shaking off the uncomfortable feeling, I heard someone knocking on the door.
-Human. The Demon King is calling. Going out to the human world.
* * *
The place we arrived at along the left arm was a huge space in the basement of the Demon King’s Castle.
A space decorated with complex geometric magic circles.
It was reminiscent of the academy’s clock tower that we used while heading south during a field trip week in the past.
One difference was that the number of portals here was twice that of the clock tower.
All of the portals were connected to the northern, eastern, western, and southern areas where humans lived, and even to the area near the Academy, the center of the empire.
‘As expected, it’s not that the Demon King couldn’t invade, it’s that he didn’t do it.’
I felt goosebumps looking at the portals of the Demon King’s army hidden all over the place.
For some reason, the only front lines were northern and eastern, but I felt like I was able to go in and out of the academy.
What was thought to be a ‘monster respawn area’ in the game was actually a hidden portal.
“Schmitz, are you surprised? Hehe.”
“…It’s a little surprising.”
“You’ve never seen anything like this in the human world. Even the way I look like a human.”
Literally, her appearance changed to the point where she could be said to be a completely different person.
Her sinister eyes and horns were replaced with those of a normal human, and her long straight hair also became flowing blonde.
Her crimson skin became pale human skin, but her voluptuous body remained the same.
If someone who doesn’t know her sees her, they’ll probably think she’s an ‘elf’ and not a demon.
… The skin exposed on the white dress feels distant from elven culture.
“Are you disguised as an elf?”
“Yes. “I heard that there are many interesting things you talk about in the land of the elves.”
“…That is true.”
The western part of the empire, where the Elven Kingdom is located, centered around the World Tree.
In the normal fantasy world, elves are often depicted as a nature-friendly race, but
In this worldview, the Elven Kingdom was close to a rapidly growing industrial city boasting its own technological prowess.
In addition, the Elven Kingdom had good technological prowess and entertainment services such as casinos and brothels.
“I’ll tell you in advance that it won’t be fun if you do something foolish.”
“Are you saying that I will run away or that I will destroy your presence in the village?”
“It is true. “If you do something stupid like that, the history of the Elven Kingdom will end today.”
He was the devil who casually spewed out creepy words.
I had no intention of using this opportunity to run away anyway, so I just passed it with one ear.
Through this temple in the human world, we plan to prevent the blind war of the devil and, by extension, the devils.
‘I’m not sure if it will be easy… You have to tell me what’s long and short to know.’
I personally confirmed that the demons have a stronger desire to compete and have fun than I expected.
So, if it’s an entertainment facility that brings more peripheral and direct excitement than the crude game I offered.
We might be able to satisfy them through means other than war.
“Then let’s go. Hold on tight!”
“No wait… Ugh.”
She stood on her portal and grabbed my waist with her powerful hands.
Because he was taller than me, I felt a little embarrassed because I felt like I was being hugged by the devil.
I can’t believe you’re playing a prank like this while other demons are watching.
‘I guess I should go to the human world and get a little revenge.’
As I was thinking that, mana flowed into the magic circle and glowed,
As the lower body slowly disappeared, my body and that of the Demon King began to warp.
* * *
“Come on, it’s cheap! It’s cheap! “Elf-style eco-friendly apples for only 1 silver!”
“Oh my brother, come here and try some delicious food! “If you come to the elf kingdom, you have to eat at least one of these!”
“Elf-style traditional clothing is on sale for 80% off today. “The boss is crazy!”
… After living a quiet life in the Demon King’s Castle for a while, I felt like my ears were being torn when I came to the human world.
The place where I was standing was the capital of the Elven Kingdom, famous for its bustling streets.
Every street was packed with people, including traditional clothing stores and street food streets.
My sense of time became vague as I was in the Demon King’s Castle, but it turns out that today is the weekend.
I think Konkuk University or Hongdae, which are said to be hot places in my past life, were like this.
I hate large crowds, so I’ve only seen it in the media…
Anyway, it was an interesting sight with the southern beastmen, eastern traditional costumes, elves, and humans all mixed together.
“Hey, Schmitz. Why do you keep watching people?”
“It’s amazing because I rarely have a chance to see people.”
“You find people more fascinating than this body. It’s really funny.”
“…”
The place I walked to was the outdoor terrace of the bar.
Should I say that it feels like a cocktail bar opened when the sun has not set yet?
She declined because she wasn’t in the mood to drink, but she seemed to like it quite a bit.
“I can’t believe alcohol can be this sweet. Now I can’t even drink alcohol made by humans.”
“…Would you like it?”
At the table where she and I were sitting, there were already empty drinking glasses piled up.
I ordered a lot of round glasses, triangular glasses, cylindrical glasses, etc. As if I had just looked at the menu and said, “Please give me everything from here to there.”
Nevertheless, seeing that there is no sign of being drunk at all, is the devil really the devil?
“Okay, now that I’ve had enough of the streets and drinking, I want to play the fun games you talked about.”
“Are you talking about entertainment?”
“It is true. “Alcohol is good and delicious food is good, but I also want to feel that kind of joy.”
When I saw the demon king saying those words with his eyes sparkling, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Because of the french fries I ordered as a side dish, ketchup was all over my mouth.
Also, I think it’s funny that a woman with such an appearance holds the fate of the world in her hands.
“Do you keep putting something on her mouth?”
“Bundle… What are you doing! I can clean it alone.”
“Yeah yeah. I understand.”
The devil gets angry when I lightly touch his mouth with a napkin.
Still, he seemed to like the food as he picked up another piece of French fries and munched on it.
Well, the meal at the Demon King’s Castle was very bland and had a subtle taste.
“Would you like to go to the gambling house first?”
“Gambling… Jean?”
“It’s a wonderful space that can provide a more fun and exciting experience than prolific play. However, there is one condition… “
“What is that?”
I smiled and drew a circle with my finger.
A small piece of money made by bending the thumb and index finger.
It was a ‘sign language’ that was also used in this world.
“It’s money. Money.”
“I don’t have money, but I have quite a few rare gems.”
When she gestured, the jewels fell out of thin air onto the table.
Jewels that reflect sunlight and emit brilliant light.
The stares from passers-by on the street were unusual.
I hurriedly put them in my pocket and stood up.
“Hmm! I think I have enough money. Stop moving now. “Stop eating French fries.”
“Wait a minute. There is still one piece left.”
She even slaughtered her last French fries.
After wiping her lips once again, I held the devil’s hand tightly and headed toward the gambling house.
* * *
“Isn’t it fun! “What fun is this?”
“No… “
In front of the flashing slot machine, the Demon King was in tears.
She sold the jewels she brought to a jeweler attached to a gambling house and received a huge amount of money.
It seemed like the Demon King had no luck.
“It’s a game where you have to get 3 of the same numbers in a row, so how can you not get at least one?”
“This is what I want to ask.”
“I’m sorry to say this, but… It seems the Demon King is really unlucky.”
“Tsk… “Shut up.”
In the end, he was the devil who even cried.
Well, even this is all according to plan.
The pleasure that can be felt by finally winning when you feel unreasonable.
I was thinking of giving this to the Demon King so he could enjoy the pleasure of entertainment.
‘Is it 5? ‘You’re lucky.’
The number rolled on the moon rock die is 5.
An incredible amount of luck, five times the amount of luck I had, has now come to me.
“Demon King, let’s try one more time. “If I don’t come out this time, I’ll stop and go back to the demon world.”
“Ugh… If so, I will put in all the remaining money.”
“All right. This time, I’ll lend you my luck.”
As she was a devil with ridiculously bad luck, it would be difficult if she tried again and got a crash.
Assuming that possibility, I folded my hands over hers.
“7..77… ? “Is this a good number?”
“Congratulations. “You won the best first prize.”
With dazzling flashing sound effects, the entire gambling hall rang out with songs celebrating her success.
People around us noticed our success and whistled and applauded…
Haha! It serves him right. I knew this body could do it. It’s nothing special. Even entertainment in the human world.”
“…After all the failures up until now.”
“What did you say just now?”
“It’s nothing.”
“I guess things will go well if I go with you.” “I will enjoy other things and other things too!”
She recklessly grabbed my hand and ran around.
Blackjack, poker, odd or even, etc…
The devil was happy as he wandered around the gambling hall, which was probably prepared as DLC content.
You are telling her about her gambling when you first encountered her playing Yut the day before yesterday.
From a moral point of view, it wasn’t good at all,
‘Because even demons didn’t have enough time to become moral men.’
“Demon King, I have something to tell you.”
“Huh? What is it? “This person has put 50,000 gold coins on the scepter.”
She called out to the devil with lights in his eyes at the odd-even roulette.
Since you’ve already experienced enough fun in the human world, it’s time to start talking about it.
“I have one earnest request.”
