Chapter 290 – 290. Landing on the East Continent 4
“This is it… Wow… Wow…! Please. Stop this.”
“No, there’s still more, right? “Seeing as you just avoided looking at me, it looks like there’s one left.”
“Ah… No…! I told you everything I know! However… This is just what I expected… So if I say otherwise, it would be a lie, right?”
A demon breathing heavily and crying.
Below him, red blood was forming a puddle.
Whenever he told a lie or had a different opinion, a part of his body was cut off.
The demon, who was quite tattered, instinctively flinched and got scared whenever I moved even slightly.
“Say”
“Well, if it’s a lie.”
“I’m going to kill you”
“I said I wouldn’t kill you earlier!!”
“Only if you tell the truth”
“No, I just expected it!”
“If what you expect is wrong, I will kill you.”
“That kind of thing.”
-Clap!
“Ahhhhh!”
“I would have told you not to say anything else.”
The demon, who had been proud and criticizing just a moment ago, is now trembling in fear.
If he changed his words, was late in answering, or did not answer properly, each time he cut off a little bit of his body, and this guy must have realized it himself.
The fact that if you cause harm to the person in front of you, you will not be able to survive.
“Then the rest is true, right?”
“S-It’s true.! We are demons, but we each serve different demons, so it doesn’t matter what happens to other demons!”
“… The total number of people in Mine”
“There are a total of four Mines who survived… Each of them is in charge of the East, West, South, and North. “This is Sato’s territory in the West.”
“What are each person’s abilities?”
“I don’t know that much… I haven’t seen real power in a long time. But wouldn’t there be a hint if we look at the different environments depending on each area?”
“… What about your children?”
“Why.? No way.”
“Answer”
Even though it was this much of a mess, I started to hesitate again when the word family came up.
There is a family. Demons also have families and, like us, have developed a civilization and have their own social characteristics.
“Rather… Kill me…!”
“I told you. “I won’t kill you”
“If I go back to this body anyway, I’m sure I’ll get hit by other guys.”
“Then what happens to your family?”
“… What are you going to do with that?”
“Answer. It’s the last time. “I hope it doesn’t sting as much as possible.”
“Just my family… Please just my family.!”
Unlike before, I began to bow my head at the word family.
There is a main base in the center of the East Continent, and it is said that this is simply an area for supplying resources.
Now that we have some general information, there is still time. Now is the time for personal questions.
“What kind of life are you living?”
“We are managing the resources and forests here.”
“Why?”
“Because that’s what I was ordered to do”
“To whom? “Is that Satora a demon?”
“Below the mine, there is a separate power source. I am managing this place under orders from one of them.”
“What is this place? Before that, why are you making it impossible to get out of the forest?”
“Not only here, but all areas where you can see the beach, there are defense shields installed like this. The reason you get lost is that the person in charge here used magical power to take advantage of the unique properties of this bamboo forest.”
“Who is in charge?”
“Minor power below the mine. “We are calling him the mole.”
“Mole?”
“They told me to call myself that.?”
〈 It is convenient to interrogate him with Mind Control 〉, but after my information was updated, the exclusive skills in the mental field became restricted.
It became all-purpose when used once, but most skills had a set number of times per day, so there were newly acquired exclusive skills, so the balance was adjusted to some extent.
“When will he get here?”
“I don’t know about that, but I probably come here whenever I’m bored. It’s outside so few people come here. Rather, I tend to report the situation.”
“. What is a lie?”
“Really… How much more do I, an ordinary soldier, know!!”
I guess it’s not a lie.
He must have lost a lot of blood, so his head started to go limp, and he started having trouble breathing.
“Just my family. Please.”
“I told you. “I won’t kill you”
“Well, then…”
“What kind of person is your boss?”
“…”
“Answer”
“You fucking bastard.! Are there any good people called bosses?”
“Then on the other hand, let me suggest one thing.”
“What… What is it?”
“I will deal with that boss and all the people in this area who created an unequal class, so you are not allowed to talk about this matter.”
If you see a momentary wavering in your eyes, it is certain that you will soon be suspicious.
There is no reason not to suspect that instead of remaining silent, they show mercy to their enemies.
“Choose. Will you die or will you betray your race?”
—-
“Ah, master! It’s over… That person…”
“Chit”
“A prospective colleague. “Be friendly with this guy because sooner or later he will show her directions.”
“West, why do you have to do that?”
“I feel bad about making unnecessary sacrifices. Our goal is to stop the resurrection of the Demon King, not annihilate him, right? And it would be better to reduce the number of mines as much as possible.”
“She was that bitch back then”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already thought about what she’ll do about that guy.”
“?”
Haha! So that means there’s only one thing left to do?”
“Little boy.?”
“What? Kid? Haha!! If you want to be chased, say something! “I’ll make it into half-grain oatmeal!!”
“Hi!? W-what!? What kind of person’s arms are bigger than their body!?”
We already know that Howling’s body is transformed into a monster itself.
Well… It may be surprising when you first see it. It’s strange if you don’t get shocked when your muscles wriggle and deform.
“What is your name?”
“Sakamoto… I don’t have a last name because the demons only allow those who receive it. “Please believe it because it’s real!!”
Wow, that’s how you divide classes.
In reality, there is quite a bit of history like this on Earth.
To create a gap with oneself, to form a superior-subordinate relationship with one another.
In addition to names and surnames, people may also brand their bodies or faces and place shackles on them.
This class is the same whether on Earth or in another world.
“I don’t believe everything you say. “I need to at least check if your family actually exists.”
“Master, does that sound mean you are going to a village or city where the enemy is?”
“That’s right”
“No. It’s too dangerous. I don’t want you to go there. That’s right.”
Because Ruschel was always watching from her side, she was able to anticipate her master’s thoughts in her own way.
It’s easy to think too positively about family, or rather think of it as obsession.
If he were to see the lives of demons with families, there is a high possibility that he would feel sympathy for them and that his plans would be disrupted.
“Anyway, I am against it. “You have to cut off the enemy’s head and bury it in the ground right now.”
“Ruschel, are you saying that on your own? Or is it a conclusion you came up with while watching me?”
“I think both. “I think there is no need for such mercy in enemy territory.”
I already knew that Rushel makes considerably more cool-headed judgments compared to Lucy.
It’s just that she’s been so scared that she hasn’t been able to assert herself.
“I want to follow the plan master made. “If you protect the enemy… You might get stabbed in the back later.”
“Know. So, I’m only going to pick certain people and deal with them. To do that, we need someone who knows this place well.”
“But.”
“Don’t worry. Because I already wrote it down. 〈 I used leash 〉 so I won’t be able to talk anywhere”
“Yes…”
“Ruschel”
Russell is very worried. Maybe it’s because she always looks after her troublemaking older sister.
“I’ll try to make sure Ruselle doesn’t worry… Can’t you trust me?”
“Yeah… I’m just worried…”
“Know. But if you kill all the enemies, war will really break out… So we should at least prevent that, right?”
“Yes. I was wrong.”
“Rushel didn’t do anything wrong. “You are prohibited from saying such things in the future.”
Her tail and ears drooped, and she looked at the ground as she approached me.
She then maintained her silence, resting her forehead in silence.
“That’s right. Thank you, Russell”
“Hi Yiing… I… Master, if something goes wrong, I won’t have the honor to see her older sister…”
—-
“Are you sure about this place?”
“Oh, that’s right… It’s true! “It’s not a lie!”
She walked through the bamboo forest with Sakamoto’s guidance.
He said.
You must not run.
You should not go in a straight line.
You must return according to the designated area.
If it is a lie, and he is deceiving us, this guy named Sakamoto will be killed immediately.
“We’re there. But what are we going to do now? I think I’ll get caught right away if I get out of here.”
“That’s okay. What I said earlier was true, right? They say that if you deal with the guy who messed around in the bamboo forest, she won’t get lost.”
“It’s true.! “I stayed here for a long time because of my status.”
The demon race is a race that has built a thorough class system.
Among them, Sakamoto said that he was a soldier who was almost like a slave.
And while listening to him, an expected problem arose…
It was said that various races ruled by demons were living here as slaves.
“Sakamoto”
“Why, why?”
“Guide”
