Chapter 315 – Chapter 31 – Return
“How are you?”
“What… It’s good enough to use. There is no particular reason for us to oppose it.”
Of course it will.
It seemed like Yulia had roughly thrown out the list of the prisoners she nominated as guards.
Yulia immediately figured out which one’s skills were usable and which ones were imaginary.
All of the personnel who were handed over to Kayla had above-average strength.
From Kayla’s point of view, even though they were prisoners, they were enough to be secretly greedy.
“Is this the end?”
“Yes. The only thing left now is to take them to the Demon Castle.”
“Will the beastmen really accept this, Klaus?”
“What if you don’t accept it? Shall we come and fight? An apex predator is right in front of you, and you’re going to fight? Prisoners aren’t that stupid.”
“As you said, unless the beastmen are really stupid. Wouldn’t it be more strange to follow that way?”
Klaus nodded slowly at Ashley’s question.
It’s quite possible, actually, he himself was worried about that at first.
It is said that they will openly take out the influential people from the prisoner society and make them helpers on this side.
Whether the prisoners would accept the offer, of course, is questionable.
“In conclusion, they also have their own thoughts.”
“You have something in mind? Maybe there’s a rebellion or something…”
“I like beastmen a little more than fairies, do you know why?”
Ashley blinks her eyes at the sudden question, then slowly shakes her head.
Of course, Dao’s natural reaction because there is no way to know.
To that, Klaus let out a short laugh and finished answering.
“Because I know the logic of power well. Pride or nobility or anything like that. Of course, they say they are great, but that’s because they think they’re ‘strong’. Like fairies, they don’t care about being noble or beautiful.”
“I admit that too. They certainly feel more submissive than fairies.”
“If they think they are weak, they have no other thoughts. Instead of stabbing them in the back like the others, they try to fight in front. I want to be stronger, I want to be on top. In order to do that, I want to learn at least one more thing next to someone stronger than myself.”
“Uh… Wait a minute. Then maybe this is what I think is the reason?”
“Yes. That’s why I’m sure he’ll abide by the SS’s decision this time. It’s probably something like trying to get at least one thing from the strongest while working as a personal guard next to the demon king who is said to be the strongest.”
“When did the demon king say he would tell you?”
“No. Of course not. That’s why you learn by looking over your shoulder and from a distance.”
It’s a deal, a deal where we pretend we don’t know each other to get what we want.
The demons would try to take the powerful people of the beast society and make them their helpers.
Conversely, beastmen will pretend to be helpers and somehow find a way to make themselves stronger.
One of the two will achieve my will, and the other will never achieve my will.
This could be said to be the natural and natural way of life.
“… Then, if we don’t properly embrace those prisoners, we will suffer a loss.”
“Right. Still, the name is His Highness the Demon King’s bodyguard, but I use it because I’m weak. Of course, you will receive a lot of management, and you will find a way to become stronger. That’s what the prisoners want.”
Klaus finished his sentence and stood up from his seat.
Preparations for withdrawing troops were completed, and the number of personnel was delivered to the Suin side.
In two days at the latest, everyone will be going back to where they came from, or to a new place.
“Klaus. The Demon King is looking for you.”
I came out of the office and went out to the garden for a while, but a demon soldier came and told me that.
During breaks, Yulia is the one who doesn’t look for herself as much as possible.
Klaus, realizing that there must have been circumstances, headed to the place where Yulia was staying.
“This is me, Yulia.”
“Ah. Come on in, Klaus.”
If it was just the two of us, we would have used respect as usual.
Seeing him behaving like that, it seemed that there was someone in the room.
From the moment I grabbed the doorknob, I knew perfectly well who was there.
Klaus couldn’t help but mutter, ‘This is a bit of a bad taste.’
Upon entering, Julia and Yulia sat down with a relaxed look and ate a piece of fruit.
Natasha, who was sitting next to her and was looking a little puzzled, caught her eye.
“I heard you were looking for me.”
“I was talking to Natasha, the head of Belarus, for a while. I want you to hear it too.”
“Can I ask what the story was about?”
“Of course. I want to invite the fairies to the event to announce the unification of the continent, but it will be too late if I call them later. So this time she went with Natasha.”
The moment he heard Yulia’s words, Klaus had a hunch.
This is at the same time as testing Natasha, who has now become a subject as a king.
And, as a woman of a man, she is grumpy towards another woman who is in love with him.
If you can’t handle even this, it means just give up, fold neatly and stay calm.
It is now a society of fairies that has just come under Belarus and Natasha’s hands.
In the meantime, if that Natasha leaves, there will of course be a gap.
If you do wrong, you may lose the support base within the fairy society that you have secured at best.
There’s no way that Yulia didn’t know that part, she must have known it properly.
In this situation where the continent has been unified, the reason for being so mean is not simply jealousy.
The race that is the most stumbling block in the current situation is fairies, who are neither beastmen nor humans.
If you have to deal with those fairies, Natasha, and they will be shaken by leaving your seat for a month or so, then I’m saying that I can’t trust fairies forever.
“The beastmen acknowledged Khaela Warrior Chief as their strongest, and even if she is away, she will probably be able to keep up with it. What are humans… As you all know, the nobility has had a very good influence on me. But fairies are still ambiguous. I mean, I’m not sure.”
“Demon King. We have already sworn allegiance to the Demon King, and as proof of that, we have erased all those who hold hostility. Also…”
“So I wonder if it means to come to the event to announce the unification of the continent.”
“I… That…”
Natasha must have thought of leaving this place and coming back to Klaus.
However, I would have judged that right now is not the time.
After making the fairy society a little more solid, when he was sure that he didn’t show any strange signs even if he was away for a while.
It was only then that I was able to leave my seat in peace.
However, if I were to leave this place right now and go with Yulia.
Now, the quiet compatriots might say something strange again and plot something again.
The races that do the most tricks behind the scenes while saying things like noble or chaste.
Natasha, who belonged to that race, knew very well that it was a fairy.
“Natasha. You did everything you could.”
“For now, yes.”
“If so, isn’t the only thing left to do is spend your life wishing your people well?”
“That is also correct. However, in case something unpleasant happens to the Demon King…”
“Then it is inevitable. Unfortunately, the other fairies can’t join me. Still, since you have a connection with Klaus, I will spare you specially.”
That’s right, that’s Yulia’s grumpiness.
To a woman who keeps approaching my man, I can’t bear to kick him out, but she gently scratches her nerves and makes herself look weak.
It could be said that it was a bit of a mean feeling, seen as a woman and a king who wanted to take everything.
“Demon King. Wouldn’t it be better to look around the inside a little more and follow it right away?”
“I want to go with you. It’s a request now, but it could be an order at any time.”
Yulia smiles as she looks at Natasha, who is at a loss as to what to do.
Then, as if she would start a holy fire at any moment, she withdrew her firm energy and grabbed her hand.
“Are you still anxious? I’m afraid I’ll be angry because your people don’t know how to do it again.”
“…”
“And in the end, I’m afraid you’ll abandon your people and stay by my side, enduring the stigma of betraying your people and trying to survive.”
“… I have nothing to say.”
“That’s why I’m asking you to go with me even more. Natasha. Two months at most. No matter what you plan and do in the meantime, there are people you have enlisted. They’ll block enough. And to be honest, I don’t think that will ever happen. You and Klaus took pains to choose who to save and who to kill. I don’t think there’s a gap there.”
Having said that, Yulia glanced at Klaus.
Do you think so too? The king’s gaze looked at him as if muttering,
After replying that it was obvious, Klaus sat down without the devil’s permission.
“What is it? Did you invite me to show you this scene?”
“Because Natasha is nervous without realizing it. I know how terrifying my wrath will be if the fairies put candles there when everything is going smoothly.”
“… Natasha. I clearly said I’ve eliminated all the bastards that need to be eliminated.”
“Of course it is, but hiding your true feelings is the specialty of your own people. Maybe there’s something I’ve missed. So for a while, I was secretly looking behind others.”
“So, did you get anything?”
At Yulia’s question, Natasha thought for a moment and then shook her head.
In the end, she had nothing, but she grunted and worried by herself.
Then Yulia crossed her arms and let out a sigh as if she was dumbfounded.
“When I was at the academy, it was sharp enough to pierce all spears, but suddenly it became strange.”
“Isn’t that because it was nothing back then, Yulia?”
“… You’re not always on Natasha’s side, are you? I don’t know what to say to that fool.”
“I’ll call you later and scold you. Just do one thing, whether it’s lower or higher than that. As a listener, I am quite confused.”
“It is my heart. When you want to be treated as a servant, you’re mean, but when you see him as the father of my child, you’re respectful.”
I pretend not to, but it is certain that I have a heartache without realizing it.
When she was shown caring about another woman in front of her, she would do that.
She doesn’t openly oppose or curse the woman, but she knows how to scratch her gourd.
“Anyway, Natasha, you are with us this time too. Leave the work here to your people now. You did more than that, and you did everything you wish you would have given me a second chance. If you still have no hope, just give up. Give up and stay by my side If you stay like that, maybe Klaus will comfort you.”
“… Joe, it’s a little rough, but… I also consider my own people very important. If possible, I want them to continue living like this. I also want to let people know that bowing down to someone greater than yourself is not something that hurts your pride.”
Then Julia said, ‘Do as you like. No matter what, we’re going together,’ she said.
As Natasha subsequently backed away, she knocked on her table and turned her head to Klaus.
“Is there really no room for trouble?”
“There is not. If I had, I wouldn’t be doing this.”
“To the extent that even the same fairy has to worry about her own people. That’s funny, Klaus.”
“Isn’t that why you fell for yourself?”
