Chapter 132 – Episode 132. It’s Going to Be a Busy Day
Morning.
I woke up on the mattress.
Mattresses in a mess due to traces of intense activity all night.
Beside me, among those traces, Sieun was sleeping soundly.
I shook Shi-eun and woke her up.
“… Oh, brother?”
Shi-eun was startled and she woke up.
Ugh, I went to bed without washing after all that fuss yesterday.
She fell asleep at the end of the last coalition.
I was too tired.
I took Shi-eun out of the cradle of rest and took a shower.
After washing the saliva from her body, I felt refreshed.
As I took a shower with Si-eun, I felt hot and energized even though I did that all night, but…
It can’t be.
If you keep saying you’re hungry, you might be doing it 24 hours a day.
I calmed down my excitement and went out of the shower.
“Wow, that’s a surprise.”
As soon as I left the shower, I ran into Elena.
She held out a large towel to me and bowed her head.
Oh, come to think of it, I told Juniel last night to make sure he educated him.
Either kill it or make it into a dog that listens well.
Seeing him alive and standing in front of me, it must have been made into a dog that listens well.
Shi-eun was surprised to see Elena and hid behind me.
Because we’re both naked.
With her sad eyes, I handed Elena her towel and put it over her body in gratitude.
“Are you alive? Are you properly educated?”
“…”
Elena, who only nodded her head without answering.
Ha, it seems to me that I am still undereducated-
“I’m sorry, master. You will not be able to speak because your tongue has been cut off.”
Juniel came out of the tent and told me.
But what?
That her tongue was cut out?
Shi-eun and I looked at Juniel with an absurd expression, and Juniel, who received our gaze, was embarrassed and said to us as if making excuses.
“My, I am not like that. Ji made fun of his tongue like a beggar and cut it off himself for getting me into trouble. Ha, what a real asshole. I was just going to kill him right on the spot, so I put up with it.”
I grabbed Elena by the chin and lifted her up.
Her face… Is so disfigured that it’s hard to say anything.
Really, Juniel has worked hard.
In addition, even the tongue was cut off, so this is it?
I clicked my tongue and said to Juniel.
“How about the cut tongue?”
“Once you have it. I’m going to get a potion and put it on when the owner comes out..”
I took the healing potion from the subspace ring and poured it on Elena’s messed up face.
Elena’s face began to heal as the wound bubbling with a crackling sound.
Hmm, since I can even hear the sound of the bones being matched, I think the bones must have been broken too.
I think Juniel really did well.
I received the cut off tongue from Juniel.
Even if you just put a potion in your mouth, it will regenerate, but you have to consume too many potions to do that.
If there is a piece that has been cut off, you can use only a small amount of potion.
“Open your mouth.”
Elena opened her mouth obediently at my command.
I put a piece of tongue roughly on the part where the tongue was cut in the messed up mouth and poured the potion gently.
As expected, Elena’s tongue was healing rapidly.
The effect is good.
When her potion worked, Elena’s messy face was restored.
Elena’s eyes were completely different from yesterday when her rebellious spirit was buried.
Full of her fear, her frightened puppy-like eyes were looking at me anxiously.
It looks like Juniel is doing really well.
Satisfied.
I said to Elena.
“I will ask again. Have you been properly trained by Juniel?”
In response to my question, I spoke in a pronunciation that Elena couldn’t understand.
“Eh, Gouru ah ah ah. Oh oh ooh ooh-“
“It’s okay. Let’s talk about it when your tongue is fully attached.”
I motioned Elena back and said to Juniel.
“Let’s go in and talk. You’ve heard a lot of stories from Elena.”
“Yes, master. I have a lot to say. Let’s go in.”
Me, Sieun, and Juniel went into the cradle of rest.
“Wow… You must have had a lot of fun last night.”
Oh, and by the way, I haven’t cleaned it yet.
Shi-eun’s face turned red at the sound of Juniel’s muttering while looking at the messy mattress.
Half of her bodily fluids scattered there belonged to Shi-eun.
Shi-eun hurriedly started cleaning, and I looked at her with a happy face.
Juniel looked at Shi-eun’s back with envy and said to me.
“Master, first of all, I will tell you the story I heard from Elena yesterday.”
“Oh yeah. Say it.”
“Once, the reason the demons moved with the monsters was to attack the supposed hero. It seems that the demon corps are all moving to kill those who are supposed to be heroes.”
Hmm, then, the large group of monsters that were on the move at that time must have been heading to the Light Guild.
We weren’t the target, but since we’re on that route, the bases would have been damaged if we left it alone.
You did a good job of going out ahead and defeating them.
I suddenly got a question and asked Juniel.
“But it shouldn’t have been that long since the guys from the Light Guild started impersonating heroes and calling up the ranks.
“Yeah, I heard that too. You must have seen the bulletin board. I heard there are quite a few self-proclaimed warriors on the bulletin board? Based on those posts, I think I’m putting them on the list for removal.”
“You saw the bulletin board? The Demon King? The bulletin board must be a system given only to humans..? Elena can see the bulletin board too?”
“Oh, I haven’t seen it myself, and this isn’t certain, but Elena’s guess is that it used human users captured by the demon king’s army, or…”
“Or not?”
“I was a human, but I was told that there would be someone attached to the Demon King’s army. Otherwise, there would be no way to know the contents of the bulletin board that humans use.”
Hmm.
Could it be that there is a traitor who provides information from the human side?
It’s definitely not nonsense.
Even if it was just me, if the human side had the upper hand, I thought of sticking to the Demon King’s side to maintain balance.
Anyway, that means that the demons can see the information on the bulletin board.
Based on the information posted there, they sent a group of demons to the pretenders to be heroes.
He kindly wrote down all the addresses, so well, it should be easy to find.
By the way, if all the impersonators are crushed like that, wouldn’t the human side’s power be severely damaged?
Those hero impersonators are liars, but impersonators are possible because they have the skills to back up their lies.
If all the talented people on the human side are cut down… Well…
It’s not a desirable phenomenon that the balance is too far to one side.
I should post a warning message on the bulletin board to raise awareness among users.
I looked at Juniel and said.
“Is that all? Anything else?”
“Yeah, Elena didn’t know much about herself. After all, it’s because they’re gray hairs who are cold food in the unit… Oh, my former subordinates, that is to say, children like Elena, are all spread out and assigned to other corps. If we meet during a battle, they say that if I reveal my identity, they will turn around right away, so I think it would be good to use that fact.”
“Are you going back right away? Are you saying that your loyalty to the former corps commander is greater than your loyalty to the Demon King?”
“I guess so? It means that only one of the 666 demon lords has descended here. Because the demon king, who had nothing to do with me in the first place, suddenly appeared and became my direct supervisor. Unless you are a high-ranking demon, the demon lord’s dominance does not spread widely. So, even if the corps commander or other high-ranking demons don’t know, the general demons under his command don’t have that much loyalty to the demon king. Regardless of the Demon King’s army, there are a lot of Demons who are active independently.”
Hmm, this seems to be quite useful in a battle against a monster army that might happen.
If you come across demons with gray hair, it might be a useful force if you coax them out.
Yes, Demon King. You guys run around with hero impersonators.
I’m going to miss some of your demons.
Having obtained some pretty good information, I nodded my head in satisfaction.
At that time,
Juniel looked at me and said with an uneasy look.
“I… Master.”
“Huh?”
“Because of Elena’s work yesterday… You were very disappointed in me..?”
Hmm.
Come to think of it, I said something like I was angry with Juniel yesterday because of the Elena incident.
Because of that, Juniel must have felt quite insecure.
“I am so sorry, Master. Of course, since I am my own master, I knew that the children under me would recognize me as their master as well. I will act well so that I don’t see such mistakes in the future, so please disappoint me..
I grabbed Juniel’s arm and pulled him into my arms.
Juniel held captive in my arms.
I said gently stroking her hair.
“Don’t worry. It’s because I’m not disappointed with Juniel or anything like that. Yesterday, I spoke coldly because of the situation, but… I’m sorry. My true intention was not like that at all. Know?”
“… Uhhh… Master..”
Juniel rubbing his face in my arms.
You must have been very anxious about my cold appearance.
I never thought that the brave Juniel would show me this.
Probably not.
Tonight, I was going to have a good time bonding with either Jisoo or Jiyoon.
I need to pull Juniel’s order.
If you’re feeling this anxious, then I’ll have to touch you and show you that my trust in Juniel is still strong.
I whispered tonight’s promise in Juniel’s ear.
Juniel looks at the mattress Shi-eun is tidying up with her face blushing.
Yes, you are the main character tonight.
Let’s make a mattress properly today. Got it?
I stroked Juniel’s hair once more and left the cradle of rest.
Today too, let’s start a lively… No, a lively day.
****
Breakfast time with Yuna Jin.
Starting today, a new person will eat together.
Elena.
He’s also a living mouth, so we’ll have to give him something to eat.
Receiving the bread that Juniel had taken out of her cradle of rest, Elena bent over her elongated waist as if apologetic.
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah…”
“Shut up and eat. Master, can you share some more potions? I can’t understand a single word.”
At Juniel’s words, I took out the potion.
Have you been saving too much? It looks like you’re not completely healed.
I opened Elena’s mouth and poured some more of her potion.
Seeing the bubbling again, it seems that it has not been completely healed.
Thinking that I had poured quite a bit this time, I closed the lid of the potion and told Elena.
“Say it.”
“Hey, it seems to be fine now. I give thanks to the Lord, the Lord, the Master.”
Elena spoke politely, bending her waist at a right angle.
It’s still a bit difficult to pronounce, but it’s understandable.
Anyway, you are the owner. It must have been trained by Juniel, right?
It’s much better than yesterday’s stupid attitude.
I ate bread with Elena and Yuna Jin for a simple breakfast.
It’s not a bad feeling to have more people eating together.
I think it’s much better than eating alone.
After breakfast, I contacted each guild leader and called an emergency meeting.
We should talk about Park Yeon-woo, whom we met last night, and talk about what to do with the Light Guild.
I thought as I slurped the coffee Jisoo made.
It’s going to be a busy day today.
