The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 124



124. Being S (5)

I climbed into the magic circle and returned to the south with Medea.

“Bird, you came sooner than I thought. Schmitz.”

“Thanks to the chairman.”

“I’m not the chairman anymore, so call me Celestina.”

… When they reunited, Celestina’s expression became strangely distorted.

It wasn’t long before we broke up and said strange things to each other, but we met again right away, so it’s worth it.

She asked, clearing her throat awkwardly.

“Hmm… So, who is the woman right next to him?”

“He is the person who holds the secret of this world.”

“Oh, what you said… ?”

“Greeting. “Call me Medea.”

Celestina looking at Medea with her eyes sparkling.

Anyway, I needed time to organize my thoughts, so I took the two of them into Celestina’s house.

I calmed down by looking at the jungle outside.

‘Yes, just in the shape of her sister. She is not my sister.’

I don’t know what Medea was thinking when she took on the appearance of my sister, but she is not my sister.

I never thought I would be so emotionally shaken just by seeing her younger sister’s appearance.

Already 10 years… No, almost 20 years have passed, but I thought it was something not easily forgotten.

“What should I talk about when I go to the north?” Let’s think about that.”

We cannot talk about the fact that this world is a game.

I am not cold-blooded enough to say something like that so casually.

You could ask Medea to say something like that, but…

Just imagining what Arlot, Hanna, Koyono, and Evan would look like when they found out about that fact made my heart tighten.

‘It was necessary to kiss Medea and her roughly.’

It wasn’t for nothing that I left the curious Celestina alone with Medea.

Medea first suggested to me that I make up a story about existence S or this world,

As a result, it was decided that existence S would be an evil god, Medea would be a child of god, and existence S’s choice would be purified to the level of god’s choice.

“Then let’s go.”

I entered Celestina’s room and came face to face with Celestina’s exciting face her her her her.

She felt sorry for her, but her demon lord she was not in good condition, so she had to go back as soon as possible.

“… Yes, it’s not good for an old person to steal a young person’s time.”

“Celestina, I will come often. “Take care of yourself.”

“Ugh… It’s like being treated like an elderly person living alone… “

I left Celestina’s house, leaving behind Celestina, who was looking up at me with an expression of resentment.

It’s time to go north and show Medea to everyone.

* * *

“Schmitz… Why are you so late?’

“…I’m sorry.”

“You were worried.”

As soon as I arrived in the north, what greeted me was Arlot covered in tears and snot.

“Wow, things have become so polarizing since Mr. Schmitz left… “I was so tired of watching from the sidelines.”

“Lord Arlot, I thought you were just a child. Haha.”

“Ugh… But… “

I patted the head of Arlot, who was crying in my arms, and relieved her of her worries.

I was actually only away for about a day, but I said I was going to a place that could be dangerous.

I’m such a crybaby, but how did I survive a month in the Demon King’s Castle?

“Lord Schmitz, by the way, who is the woman next to you? “Are you from the East?”

“Ah, this person… You can call me Medea. “This is the person I brought from ‘the end of the world.’”

“Hospitality. She is called Medea. “This is my first time seeing it in real life like this.”

Medea’s eyes sparkled as if she were a celebrity on TV.

Anyway, the conversation is going to be long, so including Arlot, who clings to me and doesn’t let go-

All the people were called back to the conference room to listen to Medea’s explanation

“…Is this why the evil spirit called Existence S is currently choosing Lord Schmitz and the Demon King?”

“That’s roughly the case. To be precise, it would be correct to say that they chose me as the incarnation of good, and the Demon King as the incarnation of evil. For the maintenance of the world.”

“Then if you kill the Demon King, won’t everything have a happy ending?”

I kept my mouth shut in response to Hannah’s question.

Except for me, everyone here was not at all close to the Demon King, so of course they would think, ‘Why should I keep the Demon King alive?’

But… Wanting to save the Demon King was just my personal desire.

It’s just my personal desire to save Chakanbaatar, who has lived his entire life as a puppet of existence S.

“…Not necessarily.”

“Oh my, Ms. Medea?”

“The entity called the Demon King is the embodiment of evil. The exact purpose is to provide direction through confrontation with Schmitz. So, if the devil dies, another person will just become the embodiment of evil.”

Medea, sitting next to me, folded her hands over mine.

She flinched for a moment at her sudden action and tried to pull her hand away…

I could read the worry on Medea’s face as she looked intently into my eyes.

‘…Medea.’

I heard that they investigated the past life records, including the save data of a person named me.

It felt strange to feel that Medea could see through her inner thoughts.

… Because it reminded her of her sister’s past.

There was further conversation afterwards, but the meeting ended without any results.

The conclusion was decided to ‘let’s meet the devil first’ and headed to the devil’s castle.

* * *

“Ah, is it you?”

Chakan Baatar lying helpless in the hospital bed I saw last time.

When she looked at me, her complexion she was not good, and she smiled.

For some reason, it looks worse than before I left.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“Like I said, the deterioration is progressing. But the woman next to me… “

“It’s called Medea. She said you… “Is he the devil of this world?”

“Hoo.”

I relayed the story I had heard in the north to the Demon King.

The story of S, the evil god, and Medea, the child of God, and that I and the Demon King are the incarnations of good and evil, respectively.

The devil listened to Medea’s story in silence.

“So existence S… “Are you saying that this person called God is forcing evil on this body?”

“You’re right. In a way… “It would be appropriate to call it a necessary evil.”

“Then there is nothing you can do about this voice that is still lingering in her head?”

“Mysterious eye. There is one way.”

Medea held up her finger with her expressionless face.

When I was in the North, I didn’t say there was a way.

While she was inwardly embarrassed, she listened to what she said.

“You just have to disconnect from God to prevent him from interfering with you.”

“…But according to your explanation, isn’t someone else than me chosen as the ‘incarnation of evil’?”

“In theory, but… “I’m not sure what will happen.”

From the perspective of the Demon King, who is sensitive to magic, the Demon King and I are connected to existence S through some magical line.

Medea pays attention to that and argues for escaping from the incarnation of evil by severing the line between the devil and being S.

However, as Chakanbaatar pointed out, there was a high probability that another person would be born as the ‘incarnation of evil.’

The Demon King smiled and said.

“…Well, it’s funny even to say this. I want to live. Even if it means sacrificing an unspecified number of people.”

“…”

“It’s not a bad thing. If this body were to let go of reason right now… “Wouldn’t mankind be immediately tainted by evil?”

She spoke with a self-deprecating smile, but a shadow appeared on her face.

In a way, it is an irresponsible statement to survive one’s own life at the expense of someone one does not know.

However, as she said, rather than Chakanbaatar really becoming the embodiment of evil… It would be better for another person, even a high-ranking demon, to become the embodiment of evil.

“Schmitz, don’t worry. “This body will definitely take responsibility and deal with anyone who becomes the embodiment of evil.”

“…Still.”

“This is the Demon King’s Castle, and this body is the Demon King who reigns over all demons. I will give orders to you, the prisoner. Disconnect right now. “It is the devil’s command.”

Even if I say those words while lying in a hospital bed, I’m not scared at all…

I had nothing to say to the Demon King, who was lying down and giving me a stern look.

Because her inner thoughts were clearly visible in her eyes.

‘You’re saying that on purpose to erase my guilt.’

The character I am is not presenting a scapegoat to other characters,

They are making the case that she, the devil, gave me orders and I had no choice but to follow them.

… She is such a good person that it would be a shame to call her a demon lord.

Since she’s being so considerate, I guess I should go along with her

“…Then I will block the connection from now on. Medea.”

“Preparations are complete.”

Medea closed her eyes and drew her magic circle in the air.

A magical scene where dozens of magic circles appear and disappear in the blink of an eye.

The magical power felt from her was beyond what I felt from her her her her demon lord her her her.

From noble mtl dot com

“…That’s amazing. It is truly a power worthy of being called a child of God.”

Medea’s majesty was so great that the Demon King inadvertently spilled such words.

After what felt like an eternity, all the magic circles disappeared in an instant –

Something whitish disappeared like a haze near the Demon King’s head.

The first to react was the devil.

“…Well, it really disappeared. The terrible voices that were gnawing away at the inside of this body’s head.”

“Demon King… Congratulations!”

“Demon King, Demon King! “Huh!”

Rumclad and his left arm, who were holding their breath next to him, jumped at the demon king who was lying on the hospital bed.

Rumclad wiped away his tears in front of the Demon King’s hospital bed, and his left arm was wrapped in the Demon King’s arms, making him laugh.

Who would look at these people as the devil and his limbs?

“…Medea, let’s go. “I don’t think now is the time for us to get involved.”

“Well, I get it.”

I quietly went through the opened portal and left the Demon King’s Castle.

Because I feel embarrassed that outsiders are still around when I am enjoying the joy of my life.

Just like that, I put those who were at ease for a moment in the background…

Black lightning fell from the sky.

Black lightning fell with a terrifying sound of thunder.

For an instant, I felt an intense flow of magic power, as if the sky had turned black.

That black lightning…

“It’s the same as the lightning when demonization occurred… “

“… Judging from the direction and flow of magic power, it seems to have landed somewhere nearby. Maybe this is… “

Demonic lightning fell in the north.

The moment I realized that fact, I immediately grabbed Medea’s hand and ran through the portal.
