Chapter 296 – 296. Sato of the West
“What did you just say…”
“Ah? Ah, would it be better to say it again? Haha…”
He held the cookie box and Mai and revealed his identity.
The devil’s direct subordinate.
Mine. Among them, the surviving demons were soon called the four major demons and were the leading demon force.
The two, well aware of that fact, were on high alert as soon as they saw Sakamoto.
Rayveer took a small pistol from his back pocket, and Shaylia On created a bundle of water in the air.
“If it’s a demon, it means the enemy has entered this ship!! It’s a big deal! Quickly tell me this.!”
“Oh, I probably won’t let you know.”
“… What does that mean? Did the guys there before get hit?!”
“I hope you don’t be too cautious. Mai is scared.”
Mai was so surprised that she dropped the juice bottle she was drinking on the floor.
“Oppa. I’m scared.”
“That’s right, Mai is okay because she has an older brother. Would you like to stay with her grandma for a while? “I’ll talk to the people here for a moment.”
“Oppa… Promise”
“Yes, I promise.”
Sakamoto made a formal promise by linking his little finger with Mai’s, then placed her on the floor and Mai immediately ran towards the room where her grandmother was.
“Mai, her parents passed away early, and her old grandmother is supporting her alone.”
“Why is Mine here? Could it be that she was discovered by others too!!”
“Ah, that’s not it. We’re not particularly close to each other. The Demon Lord also said that my name was long, so he told me to write only the front and back of Sakamoto. Haha…”
“This dwarf…”
“Yes, the author’s magic is strange.”
This is the first time for these two to see Mine in person.
That’s not surprising, since the demons that exist in the eastern continent no longer showed up after the demon king fell.
“First, could you please put down your weapon? “I don’t mean any harm.”
“I guess we should trust Mine’s words!”
“No, because if I do that, you two might end up killing each other.”
“What?”
“Hey, what is that… What!?”
As soon as he finished speaking, I realized what he meant.
This is because the pistol that Rayvere was aiming at and On’s water bundle were aimed at each other, not at Sakamoto.
“What the hell is this.!!”
“Are you really planning on shooting me to death?”
“This is because of my magical power. In fact, I get lost in the magic of ‘confusion’ where I am, and I start to get confused about discrimination. Furthermore, it also applies to right and wrong. “It can confuse family, friends, and colleagues as enemies.”
The two of them were momentarily shocked upon hearing his words.
Same phenomenon as before. This confusion means that it touches the mental realm of the creature.
If they had just pulled the trigger or fired a bunch of water, these two would have died without any doubts.
Also, the fact that that demon is capable of destroying its enemies without lifting a finger.
It is a scary power.
“So… First, would you please refrain from acting on guard? If you’re not careful, people around you will die.”
The two who have already tasted power have no choice.
“You came here alone. Is it because you’re a demon?”
“That’s right… They let me in.”
“You fish bitch!”
“I-I didn’t know either! The method of calling was only told to the departing personnel, so what should I do? There’s no way I knew!”
Haha. If you don’t mind, I can go somewhere and drive… Haha. I’m not in a position to say something like that.”
… These two were in no position to refuse.
Sakamoto cleared his throat, perhaps feeling embarrassed by the tense attitude of the two over the fact that they might die at any moment.
“Hmm! Let me introduce it again. I am Kamui Sakamoto, a direct subordinate of the Demon King, the master of the western part of the Eastern Continent. They are your allies.”
—-
“So? Why did you, a Mine person, stand on our side?”
In the end, as Sakamoto said, I entered the room and Rayveer and On sat at the table.
Next to Sakamoto, Mai drank snacks and tea with the happiest face in the world.
Since she is at an age where she can quickly digest no matter how much she eats, Sakamoto started to eat the snacks herself to prevent Mai from eating them all.
“Are you okay?”
“Why are you asking us that? You came. That means that all the kids on the eastern continent suffered.”
“No, no, your colleague is currently safe. Rather, our soldiers are being brutally killed. As expected, the players are as strong as ever.”
“Player? “What is that?”
On does not know any information about the player.
On the other hand, Ray Beer had no doubts because he knew a player who came to see him in the past.
“Ray. Mr. Beer seems to know.”
“What? Why do you know?”
“If you live long enough, you will find out. Moreover, since mermaids do not appear on land, it would be natural for them not to know.”
“That’s it! “What is a player?”
“Ah. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better for me to explain it to you.?”
When Shayliaon kicked off her chair and stood up, Mai was surprised and dropped the snack she was holding in her hand and hugged Sakamoto.
“Mai, she’s not mad at Mai, so don’t worry.”
“But. It’s scary.”
“That child is yours.”
“Ah, Mai is a precious child to me ‘now.’ Because Mine doesn’t age.”
Sakamoto spouting absurd things without any hesitation.
Living things reach the end of their lives someday.
Not growing old is an act that goes against the laws of biology.
“This is the magical power that the Demon King gave us before he passed away. Because of that, lifespan was completely frozen.”
It doesn’t make sense. Even in history, there was media about the devil, which means that the devil takes control of the world and lives in that world forever.
It is stated in the document that that is the devil’s goal.
“The Demon King was always quiet and stubborn, but he always took care of us.”
“I’m done talking about that now. Let’s get to the point”
“Oh, I see. Excuse me. Players are a race that the Heavenly Beings brought from another world to destroy us after the Dragon King was defeated by the Demon King. Their power is truly enormous.”
“What do you mean by that? Another world?”
“Obviously, the deep sea is a different realm from the land, so it did not participate in the global war. This is indeed a wise decision. “At that time, the earth was literally hell.”
“You… Are you insulting our race?”
“No, no, I don’t mean to do that at all. I think I am a victim too. “It’s just my opinion”
“Victim?”
“We didn’t fight because we wanted to. Well, most people weren’t dissatisfied with the Demon Lord’s choice, but I didn’t want innocent citizens to die. The contents were not much different from ours.”
“If you’re a demon, you’re the second-strongest demon after the demon king, right? No choice? That doesn’t make sense!”
“Haha… It will probably be easier to understand if you deal with the Dragon King. In fact, we demons are the ones who inherited the power of the demon king. If you are not naturally talented, your body will not be able to withstand the power you receive and will collapse. “I was just lucky.”
“Hmm, are you saying you didn’t become a demon because you wanted to?”
“First, I am against war. And the Demon King is basically a researcher full of inquisitiveness.”
This is my first time hearing that the Demon King is a researcher. This story is not even in the document.
The Demon King is clearly the one who led the army to rule the world.
Of course he thought he was a general or a soldier.
“He is the one who even recognized the existence of heaven. When Heaven found out about this, he didn’t look very kindly on us. In fact, before the Demon King took command of us, the dragon race was absolute on this earth. Of course, they were also the subject of the Demon King’s research.”
The two were embarrassed by hearing this for the first time and swallowed their saliva without realizing it.
I can’t even imagine what kind of being called the Demon King is strong enough to start a war despite being a researcher and would even think of causing something like this.
“That story is now over. Then why do you want to stand on our side? “I don’t know why”
“It’s simple. “I don’t think there should be any more war.”
Sakamoto placed Mai on his lap after she had stopped crying and continued speaking.
“I don’t want any more war. “From now on, I will provide you with all of my western strength, so please help prevent war.”
“Even now, our people are probably exterminating you. Is that okay?”
“It’s okay. It may be uncomfortable to hear, but we have already chosen who to save and who to abandon. Most of the younger children are currently growing up in other small cities. “Except for that place, please eliminate everyone in the area.”
Sakamoto, who hugged Mai tightly and seemed indifferent to the situation now that he was in enemy territory, added an afterthought.
“Oh, and this is an order, not a request. “Please stop the resurrection of the Demon King as soon as possible.”
