Chapter 165 – #7. Face to Face and the Truth (4)
The existence you shouldn’t trust the most is showing such a cooperative attitude…
‘… I really don’t know.’
The hero, who had been suffering from headaches, gave up speculating any further.
What the hell is your situation? What does the demon king want, why is the Guardian of Time and Space, who is like a god according to Kaisa, here…
The frustrated hero urged Kai’Sa.
“So, what do you want? Let’s do something.”
“Huh? I told you from the beginning.”
Kai’Sa grinned.
“Let’s have a ‘talk’.”
“…”
The hero stared at Kaisa without expression, and finally opened his mouth. It was not a problem that could be solved by sitting still and thinking.
“Okay, let’s listen.”
Kai’Sa smiled, saying that she finally got the answer she wanted.
Now that I look at it, it’s kind of cute… Thought the warrior. Of course, immediately after thinking about it, I was startled.
…
“…Guarantee?”
“Our relationship is a bit like that. Actually, I’m not like that, but you have a hard time trusting me. To understand that position…”
Kai’Sa beckoned her guardian, and she aroused an unprecedented aura. A strange aura that has never been seen before. The hero noticed that it was the power of the transcendent, ‘Majesty’. I could literally feel the transcendent energy, one level higher than the energy of the mighty demon king. It was a force that even felt fear. Enough to make even the mighty demon king look cute…
‘Is it like mana?’
In fact, mana was also a transcendent energy. Mana users who use mana are overwhelmingly stronger than ordinary people, enjoy much longer youth, and have a far longer lifespan. It was easy to understand, thinking that transcendentalists deal with a much superior aura than those mana users.
The energy was concentrated in one place, creating a small disc with a color like brass. It was about the size of a hero’s palm and was as thick as a finger.
“What’s this?”
“Lie detector.”
Kai’Sa said that she would show it to her without further words, and she placed her hand on the disk.
“I am the hero of justice who punishes the demon lord.”
Unsure of her mischievous words, the warrior tried to frown, but a response came before he could even twitch his eyebrows.
Paper weave!
“Wow!”
Blue sparks flew from the disk as if an electric current was radiating in all directions. The Demon King, who had placed his hand on it, gritted his teeth. He makes a pretty sick face. Her champion glared at her as if he had seen her rare sight as the ever-leisurely Kai Sa twisted her expression. Although we haven’t seen each other for a long time, I had the first thought that it would be difficult to see that expression again.
“Aww, did you see it?”
“…”
The warrior nodded. In a shallow place in my heart, I was still insisting that I shouldn’t trust the demon king, but deep inside I was already half way over the demon king’s attitude.
Enemy. He had been observing the hero for a very long time, who was in the same relationship as the enemy of the mortal enemy. If you want to kill it, you can kill it by ambushing it at any time. Also, he did not harm his lovers, whom the hero valued more than his own life. Taking Leia hostage… That was understandable, because otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to start a conversation. I was angry with you for touching my lover, but that didn’t mean I was threatening her.
… Come to think of it, Kai’Sa has never used force before. He always tried to approach the warrior who was openly hostile to him through dialogue.
His mischievous and smirking demeanor did not go beyond the limit, although from Hero’s point of view, the drugs rose. Perhaps she is her nature. She is, in other words, she is that kind of guy. Then she has no reason to be angry at her joke. ‘Originally that kind of guy’ was among the women of the hero, so she was actually a bit used to it. The hero had an understanding of such nature. It was only a matter of whether or not the demon king had that broad understanding.
The Demon King was asking for a ‘conversation’ even while bending his pride.
Not only that, but he also brought a neutral transcendental figure that even a warrior could recognize, called the Guardian of Time and Space. It was a little surprising that the two of them had been together, but the Guardian he knew wasn’t the type to care about such things. That guardian even brought out something called a ‘lie detector’…
“Ha…”
All circumstances were telling me to trust the Demon King. The hero sighed at this absurd situation and nodded his head.
“Okay. I’ll test myself instead.”
Just in case. Could it be that it’s just an electrical device? Kaisa said she was going to say it anyway, but she said it was fine and she grabbed the warrior’s wrist and led her over the disc. I was a bit reluctant to see her excited-looking attitude, as if I wanted you to try it too.
“Tell me a lie that would be obvious to me.”
“Hmm.”
Kaisa grinned at the hero who recalled the lie and spoke mischievously.
“For example, you say your girls aren’t very lovable? Giggles.”
“…”
Come to think of it, at least one person could be like that, right? Then it will be a big deal! Kai’Sa quietly teasing the hero. The hero didn’t get caught up in her pace and brought out another lie.
“I like the Demon King.”
Jiji Jiji Jiji Jik!
“Aagh!”
“…”
At the hero’s words, the current jumped right away without a moment’s delay. It hurt a lot more than I thought. The hero barely suppressed the momentary outburst of screams.
“I think it’s a bit strong…”
A much more violent reaction than the devil’s lies. It can’t be, but somehow the original version’s reaction seemed to contain emotion. Kai’Sa pouted at the hero’s mischievous lie, but the hero ignored it and admitted that there was no problem with the disc’s function.
“Tutelar?”
When the hero looked at the guardian, the guardian looked at him in silence. He gave a last confirmation when he looked at me to talk.
“Is this disc reacting like this when you lie?”
“Yes.”
“…Good.”
He didn’t ask any more. You might ask if I can swear on the Guardian’s name, but… At first I thought it was pointless. It’s funny that a transcendent yet neutral being dares to lie, and if he’s going to lie, he’ll do it perfectly. ‘You’re lying, right?’ ‘Yeah, that’s a lie.’ There is no way you can answer that.
‘… Let’s stop doubting.’
The warrior did his best to doubt. Had he been alone, he would have believed it long ago. But he couldn’t decide easily because he thought of the five women who were more precious than his life.
However, he no longer had any doubts. He had already forced enough doubts, and now there was nothing more to doubt.
“Well then…”
Kaisa, who had already grasped the hero’s psychology, smiled and said as his expression softened.
Chuck.
“I can finally ‘talk’.”
She opened her mouth as she placed her hand on her disk.
…
“Everything I say from now on is the truth.”
Kai’Sa tapped the disc and said. After much deliberation, the warrior who decided to believe listened to her words. What on earth did he observe this side of, kidnap Leia, and even bring in the guardian of time and space to ask for a ‘conversation’…
Finally got to know
Tell me, Demon King. What on earth did you want to say to me?
“The curse you have. Actually, it’s not Baal’s curse, it’s my curse.”
