Chapter 304 – The Mesgaki Half-Elf and the Demon Lord #1
When I was living on Earth, I wasn’t a very diligent person.
After graduating from university, I became unemployed and lived without doing anything, like a baby kangaroo hanging from my pocket.
Because I realized the pleasure of taking a good rest without doing anything.
‘I pity the people who go to work!’
Waking up late every morning with these thoughts was my life in my previous life.
Why do office workers enjoy having only two days off a week?
If you become unemployed, you can take a week off.
Not 24/7, but 24/7.
Had it not been for something special, I would have lived a leisurely life until I got a job.
But something special happened and life changed.
‘Truck.’
If I hadn’t been hit by a truck on the road, I wouldn’t have been reincarnated in another world.
When I woke up, I was living under the name of Luke in an orphanage in another world.
Although he was reborn as a person from another world, the sense of being unemployed from his time as an earther did not completely disappear.
For reference, the sense of the unemployed means the sense of the unemployed, not the king of beasts, but the sense of the unemployed.
Baeksu (百獸) and Baeksu (白手) have the same pronunciation, but why is their dignity different?
“I don’t like to work…”
The next day after the performance, I was left alone after parting with my lovers, and I sat on the sofa and lamented.
I was busy preparing for the performance, but I still had work to do.
‘Rampage of drakes living in the Amgur Steppe’
The case where the drakes, who were not hostile to people, attacked the delegation and the count’s escort.
When I asked the adventurers when I had a chance, they said that drakes in other regions were fine.
It was only the drakes of Amgur Steppe that attacked people.
Now, in my room, there was Drake’s head frozen solid in an iron box.
It was a head brought from the body of a dead Drake cut off from the Amgur Plains.
‘Even though he’s dead, his eyes are wide open.’
Thanks to the freezing magic, Drake’s head hasn’t decayed yet.
Just like this, you can take it to Delia’s research center and ask for an investigation.
If you say you need more samples to analyze, you can go back to Amgur Steppe and hunt them down.
A simple task, just pick up Drake’s head and take it to the lab.
It could be done quickly and come back, but the person I had to ask for was Delia.
Mesgaki Half Elf!
I don’t know how to make fun of people again this time.
It feels like my heart rate goes up every time I see that big-breasted kid.
If you put Delia in front of hypotensive patients, her blood pressure will rise and she will be healthy.
It was hard to move, but I forced my butt off the sofa, even if I pretended to be a zombie.
It is the Lord of Yoensu’s job to ask you to investigate Drake’s corpse.
I even received the gold coins, so I can’t put it off any longer.
Took!
I packed the box containing Drake’s head and headed out of the inn.
It was quite a heavy head, but thanks to the OPG, I was able to lift it without difficulty.
*
It didn’t take long to reach Delia’s laboratory with the iron box.
Around the main entrance to the lab, there was a young guard I had seen before guarding the entrance.
Judging from the fact that he had a quarter staff in his hand, it seemed that even the mere guard here was a rune mage.
“I’m here because I have something to ask the head of the research institute. I’m going to ask you to investigate the body of a monster.”
“You’ve been here before, right? Last time I got it through after receiving the director’s instructions, but this time it will be difficult. Our laboratory doesn’t accept requests from outsiders quite a bit. It’s Ningard’s policy not to interfere in worldly affairs.”
The Rune Mage guard expressed disapproval when they saw me trying to entrust the request.
Unlike when I came to make OPG, I hadn’t even consulted with Delia this time.
From Ninggard’s closed standards, it wouldn’t be strange if an order to celebrate guests was issued right away.
“Okay, so let’s try contacting the director. If you tell me that a tanned blonde incubus has come, he will accept the request.”
“Eh, do you know how picky our director Delia is, so you say that? First of all, it seems like you have a close relationship with the director, so I’ll try to contact you. But don’t expect too much.”
The rune mage guard left the other guards on alert and entered the lab.
She is in order to deliver the news of my arrival to Delia, who will be in the lab.
After a while, the rune mage guard returned to her entrance and delivered Delia’s words.
“Keuheum! I just met Director Delia. He said it’s okay to ask for her as long as you like.”
“Didn’t I tell you not to have high expectations?”
“I-I was surprised too! Director Delia is someone who hates being called a normal man… The sun seems to be rising in the west today.”
The Rune Mage guard, who had been adamant that her request would be rejected, now had an embarrassed expression on her face.
It’s thanks to Delia’s cool acceptance of her surprise request.
Delia, who was strict with others, was giving special treatment only to me.
‘Because I’m a good opponent to tease. They think of it as a toy and act loosely.’
It doesn’t mean you really like it.
The silver-haired half-elf thinks of me as a toy to play with.
Shouldn’t we avoid damaging toys by treating them carelessly?
Similarly, he must have wanted to avoid having the relationship turn sour after rejecting the request.
‘It’s not something to just like.’
Play with it, sometimes treat it nice to make it feel better, tease it and treat it well, and Delia repeats her stick and carrot in this way.
If she was inadvertently tamed, she might have her heart subdued by a half-elf.
“May I come in?”
“Yes! Director Delia is in the lab in the basement.”
I entered the laboratory without letting go of the strings of tension.
If it was a laboratory in the basement, I had been to it before.
This is a place where Bifrost, a relic of the mythical age, is being researched.
When I went down the stairs and arrived at the underground lab, I immediately heard Delia’s voice.
“I missed you! Brother Luke.”
The tone was full of goodwill, but you shouldn’t be vigilant.
I deliberately asked Delia with an impression on her face.
“I missed you? Why?”
“Because I couldn’t play pranks with Luke oppa, I felt like I lost my joy in life. You’ve been really bored all this time? Most other rune mages other than me only know sports and research. They’re just boring bookworms. In that sense, Luke oppa is a rare animal. Izzy. You have a sense of humor.”
In short, he needed someone to play with.
Wrong!
As Delia talked to me, she ate the snack from the bag.
It is a cookie covered with chocolate on a long flour stick.
Shall we call it a food similar to the pepero sold on Earth?
Every time I chewed a snack, the sound of omnyomnyom resonated and lingered in my ears.
“Omnyomnyom.”
“Why are you deliberately making such a mouth-feeding noise? It’s pissing me off.”
“You’re yelling at Luke oppa to get pissed off? Omnyomnyomnyom.”
“Sigh…”
When I let out a sigh, Delia smiled as if she had finally achieved what she wanted.
It was an unusual provocation from the start.
It’s so cute I want to bite and kill it.
“So you came to ask me for something? Earlier, the security guard said something about a monster investigation request.”
“Drakes are attacking people in the Amgur Steppe right now. Drakes are treated as docile monsters, but they suddenly became strange. I brought a corpse sample to the research center to investigate.”
I told Delia the details of what happened along the way on her quest.
The Drakes raided the Jakarta delegation because the taste was gone like they had drunk drugs.
Delia was intrigued by her explanation.
“Are the drakes running amok as a group? They must be quite big to poison them one by one with drugs? I wonder what happened.”
“Here’s the corpse sample. I took the whole head and brought it.”
I set the box containing Drake’s head down on the lab floor.
Delia’s gaze landed on the frozen head of her head.
“If you accept the request, I’ll defrost it right away. If you have the amount you want for the request, call me. I can give you 30 gold.”
It’s not that I’m not shameless, and I didn’t intend to ask for a request with her bare mouth.
Instead of entrusting the investigation to Count Harold, she received 50 gold coins.
All detailed investigations are entrusted to Ningard’s research institute, so they will have to pay.
But Delia didn’t pay much attention to the fact that she was offering gold coins.
“Rather than receiving gold coins, there’s something I’d like to do for my brother♡”
“You’re asking for a quest instead of a commission fee? Then, first of all, going through the procedures at the Adventurer’s Guild would be a priority.”
“That’s not it. I don’t intend to do grandiose errands like quests. I want to ask Luke to eat Delia’s sweets.”
I ask you to eat sweets… ?
At that moment, an ominous thought popped into my head.
It was an imagination of an absurd anecdote in which the senior in the Earth’s military fed Choco Pie to his junior until he choked.
Is Delia trying to feed me sweets until I choke?
Where the hell did this mesquite bastard learn to cook barracks!
It’s dark.
“How much do you plan on feeding?”
“Huh? I’m only going to feed you one, but what are you so afraid of? I’m trying to feed you the snack I’m holding.”
“Kuhm…”
Expectations were wrong.
Delia took out a long snack bar and showed it.
If you eat just one of those things, you’re saying you can pay the commission fee, right?
‘Was she a fairy and not a half-elf?’
She was surprised to receive a request that was simpler than she thought.
It was time to go over to Delia and get her snack bar.
Poof!
Suddenly, Delia moved her hand and she put the candy bar into her mouth.
Then she looked up at me with a playful expression.
“Come on, eat quickly.”
“What?”
“Try the cookie I’m biting on.”
A stick hung from her cute idol-like lips.
Delia’s lips were glossy as if she had applied lipstick.
What is this mesquite bitch doing now?
You mean you dare to kiss me pepero?
The moment Delia finally realized her impure intentions, her face turned red.
The figure of Delia with her lips sticking out while her eyes were tightly closed was fatally pretty.
Her hair, which is tied up in her pigtails, is flowing down, just like a goddess.
Being a half elf, it was natural for her to be pretty.
“Hauuuuu. Quickly… Eat it? It’s Delia’s snack… Without leaving a single powder… Haa… Eat it neatly and I’ll start the investigation…”
It was a really stupid request.
