Chapter 164 – Demon Lord (6)
The surroundings were too quiet.
It must be because of my remarks that there is such an unpleasant silence.
Azazel, who pursed her lips, asked me before long.
“Sister, are you serious?”
His tone was very low, as if he was suppressing his explosive emotions.
Still, it’s a more calm and calm reaction than I thought.
I thought he would scream loudly and question me.
I slowly turned her gaze towards her.
Realized there
That my thoughts were foolish.
Calm and calm?
Who?
Azazel’s eyes were never calm.
It was blazing as if a fire had occurred in her volatile oil.
You’re genuinely angry.
She’d be a fool if he didn’t feel her heat and longing.
But I had to be her fool and tell her.
“Yes. I mean it.”
“Why?”
It was a question that, for her, stemmed from her incomprehensible meaning, her question.
“It’s an opportunity.”
“So what?”
Azazel grabbed the hem of her robe as if her chest felt tight.
Seeing her miserable appearance, her mind was confused.
“Even though the demon king knew that we would infiltrate, he didn’t send a single lowly demon, let alone an ambush. At least it was a low-intelligence monster that attacked us. It can’t be seen as an intentional attack.”
“Therefore? What do you want my sister to say?”
“What they show is overwhelming confidence. In other words, we can’t beat ourselves, that’s why we’re judging. So, I think now is the right time to catch the demon king off guard.”
“You could have already prepared all the traps and invited them. How do you know what insidious plans those bastards will come up with…”
I cut her off.
“Either decorated or undecorated, we have to break through. I am a saint, and Ain is a warrior.”
It was true.
No matter what they do, in the end it’s all something you have to endure.
They say thousands and tens of thousands of enemies are waiting.
The devil.
Moon god.
It doesn’t change that you have to knock it down.
Did you read my determined momentum?
Instead of frowning, Azazel gave her a devastated smile.
“Are you going to do it alone?”
I didn’t answer.
Did that action disappoint Azazel?
She muttered gloomily as her shoulders drooped.
“If that’s the case, there’s no point in following after spending energy.”
I’m sorry.
She was the one who gave her what caused her to make this look.
“Sorry. I didn’t expect an offer like this to come.”
After struggling for a while, I thought I would arrive at the Devil’s Castle.
I expected the process to be rough and difficult.
I really didn’t expect to be invited in this way.
“But you suddenly ask me for a proposal that doesn’t even sound like that? Isn’t that too easy?”
It was a powerless slander.
“I didn’t just agree to it because I saw it as an opportunity. Because Leon wants to see the end with Karel and her demon called Deluca. I think it’s a personnel arrangement that suits the situation in its own way.”
“Situational cutting edge placement? You speak well. Then what about me? What will become of me who followed only Unnie and Ain?”
“Azazel wants you to help Low Leon and Miss Edelis.”
“… Me, why me?”
Her grumbling.
I answered with a single knife without wasting even a moment.
“Because I believe in Azazel more than anyone else.”
At my assertion, Azazel closed her mouth and looked at me.
It was a look to see if he was telling a lie or not.
“… Being sincere is really too much.”
Are you trying to burst out crying?
I hope she’s crying here, but she still doesn’t know.
I walked over to Azazel and grabbed her by the shoulder.
She looks up to me with her beautiful red hair.
He’s always my cute little brother.
“I believe. That Azazel will come soon.”
“… What else do you mean by that?”
“Even though Ain and I will deal with the demon king first, Azazel will follow soon, right?”
What I am talking about now is just wishful thinking.
Even if Azazel comes to visit, there is a high probability that he will come after everything is over.
Still, I said I believe.
It wasn’t a word of consolation, nor was it a lie.
Because Azazel is the best wizard.
He’s the greatest and greatest wizard I’ve ever known.
I believe in you.
That you will come
“I’ll go first and I’ll be waiting for you.”
She had a complicated expression.
“… When you hear something like that, you have no choice but to agree. You stupid sister.”
“I’m sorry for pushing you.”
“It’s okay. Is it a day or two for me to lose to you?”
That’s how the story with Azazel came to an end.
All that was left was you, Ahin.
After catching my breath, I turned around.
“Ah, this is my opinion. Are you going to be angry?”
How will he react to my choice?
Dissatisfaction?
Or hostile?
I think it would be painful no matter what.
Because it goes against your opinion.
Would you be very angry?
“Why do you think I am angry? I was just asking for your opinion?”
He replied in a tone that was not at all regretful.
I stared blankly at Ain at that kind tone.
“I have a different opinion from Ain.”
“… It’s a pity. But if the majority agrees, there is no objection.”
It was a remarkably quick change of opinion.
Anticipating a slight backlash, I asked back wide-eyed.
“To? Really? You had such a disapproving face.”
“That’s because he’s mad at Leon for that idiot’s stubbornness.”
Leon, who was pointed out, scratched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed.
“… You mean you’re not angry with me?”
“Really. Or do you not believe me?”
“I believe in you. I thought we would argue a little more…”
“Aria, not anyone else, your opinion. It is natural to respect him.”
I blushed.
It was because I was ashamed of my words and actions, assuming that he would be angry.
You believe in me so much.
So, our opinions were put together.
By following Karel Nadeluca’s suggestion.
* * *
Dawn breaks.
Azazel handed Ain a cross pendant.
“This?”
“Without me, that is, without my subspace bag, there is no way you can handle the sword you break. So it was rushed. If you pour mana into the pendant, the sword will be created where you want it. Give it a try.”
Hearing Azazel’s words, Ain immediately blew mana into the cross pendant.
Then, in the empty air, a long sword appeared tearing through the space.
It was truly an amazing performance.
Ain seemed to be satisfied, too, with a smile on her lips.
“… Thank you, Azazel.”
“There is no need for useless thanks, take good care of your sister.”
“Leave it alone.”
Ain held out her fist to Azazel.
She narrowed her eyes and let the warrior thrust out her fist.
“What. Let’s even bump her fists, you idiot?”
“Yes.”
After that, Ain thrust his fist into her.
As she always said, Azazel was a weak girl for pushing.
It was she who hesitated and eventually bumped her fists.
“… Don’t come all the way here.”
“Don’t lose, Azazel.”
After greeting Ain, Azazel looked at me.
Her mouth, which protrudes like a duck’s beak, is very cute.
It was an impression that did not fit the situation.
“I have so many things to say, but I’ll tell you later, sister.”
Say you’ll follow me.
I don’t know how reassuring and comforting those words are.
I responded with a smile.
“Yes. I’ll go ahead and wait for you, Azazel.”
While I was talking to Azazel and her, Ain talked to Leon.
“Leon. Since you were stubborn, win.”
“Are there idiots who fight to lose? I didn’t know.”
Ain pointedly replied to Leon’s wit.
“I hope that idiot isn’t you.”
“I’ll hold on to your worries.”
Seeing her brazen behavior, Ain sighed for about three breaths before moving her gaze to Edelis.
“Please take good care of that idiot.”
“There is no such thing, but you are the one who protects Aria-sama.”
Ain raised his eyebrows and twisted her lips.
Edelis, whose expression was unwilling, replied crookedly.
“What is it? Any complaints?”
“I was just surprised to hear you worry about Aria’s safety.”
“Is that so surprising?”
“Isn’t it because you’re surprised that you’re making such a face?”
Edelis lightly clicked her tongue.
“… She is precious to you.”
“I know very well. So I want to live with you.”
“You know the subject.”
“Right?”
Ain and Edelis all burst out laughing.
Both sides with light smiles.
“I wish you luck.”
“I also hope that I can meet you safely.”
Watching the farewell, Karel Nadeluca let out a yawn.
“Is it all over now? Then, the hero and the saint can climb on top of this magic circle.”
We stand on the magic circle he carved on the floor.
(Azazel, who was uneasy about the spell he made, checked the magic circle just in case, but it only had the effect of teleportation)
After a while, Karel Nadeluca uttered an incantation.
Space is distorted, vision is blacked out.
The sensation of twisting the five senses of the body comes.
I grabbed Ain’s hand next to me.
His strong hands felt firm.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a large castle.
It was the Mawangseong.
