Chapter 835 – Ep.833 Demon Continent
After confirming with Rita that her nose was fine, she opened her mouth, picked up the Mimic case that had fallen on the floor, and swallowed it without recognizing the owner before closing her mouth.
‘I was really chilled…’
For a moment, you can feel the aftereffects of large and small vibrations that started from above.
I was in a good mood until soon after, when the expected face and two slightly unexpected people appeared.
However, the moment I saw the bag of a familiar shape in Roro’s hand, who stepped in front of the melted iron bars, I felt so much strength in my hips.
Before he had a chance to say anything, the slippery tentacles snatched his entire body, and he was swallowed up without even being able to scream. When he was swallowed up, his eyes were filled with darkness.
The feeling of being thrown out in the dark, unable to feel anything, was much more terrifying than I thought.
Indeed, after experiencing it myself, it was an experience that made me understand to some extent why Ruel would urinate whenever he saw this bag for a while.
Wow~!!
Should I say I was dispirited, or should I say I was ecstatic?
Anyway, as she was about to give a proper reunion greeting to the girls who had collapsed due to her nervousness, another loud roar was heard from above the shrine.
“Looking at the cold, it looks like Ruel is running wild… ?”
[Ah, this is the noise created by the children waiting in front of the ice wall that was just built breaking the ice to suppress it. ]
“Uh, um… Well, it’s all over, so take it easy… Know?”
[ Yes. ]
I think the corner of my mouth went up slightly just now, but I hope it’s just my mood.
“Hmm! First of all, I have a lot to say, but the people above me also need to listen, so I will talk about it all at once once the place is settled.”
Not only was it not a particularly grand story.
“Ah, uh, uh…”
Nella is sitting on the floor with a miserable look on her face, licking her lips.
In prison, she was seen with Agnes, but it seems that she was not meant to be with her.
“Uh, Mr. Smith…”
“Ok?”
As I was looking at her Nella from the corner of my eye, I came over and habitually stroked Roro’s head, who was pulling on her sleeve.
“Li, Li Li, are you okay?”
“Uh? Oh, of course you’re safe.”
In fact, when they came to rescue me, Lili was also in the same room as me.
Yesternoon.
Surprisingly, the monster that said he would bring her something to raise her body temperature brought her not an artifact or magic tool, but Lili, who was very tense and frozen.
The monster gave her a sumptuous lunch, dessert, and put her Lili inside the cage, then withdrew. Lili, who was very stiff, hesitated for a moment, then clung to her and cried for almost two hours.
Well, from what I heard, he pretended to be resolute and followed the demons for Roro’s sake, but when he actually entered the prison, he seemed very surprised by the psychological pressure.
When I put my share of the cream bread in her mouth, she started biting her mouth and stopped crying little by little. After I was told the general situation, she smiled brightly as usual and fell into my arms.
Of course, Lili was a good girl who always listened to what she said, and she didn’t make a fuss just because she saw a gap like anyone else, and she just held herself quietly in her arms and didn’t disturb my concentration.
Anyway, Lili spent the day quietly holding me, eating with me when the time came, and sleeping on my thigh when she got sleepy. Lili quickly made a sign and hid herself from the commotion that started from above.
I told him to be quiet, so he’s probably still sitting in the empty iron bars waiting for me.
[Nobility. The arrangement has been completed. ]
“Did you hear?”
They seemed to not have the energy to answer, so they nodded helplessly and stood up.
“Aaaaah!!”
Nella’s scream came from behind.
As she rolled her eyes slightly, the dreamers who had come with her grabbed Nella very roughly and lifted her up.
“Let’s go up.”
Of course, she didn’t forget to stop by the basement and pick up Lili.
**
The top floor, which I visited again after two days, had changed quite a bit.
… Rustle.
First, bright blue ice formed here and there, including on the ceiling and walls, making the entire space appear a little more blue.
And she was so frustrated with being trapped with a door that she didn’t know where it was sold that there was a hole in one side of the wall.
As I stepped on the ice that stuck to the floor and entered, I was greeted by very friendly faces.
“Rita?”
It’s like a complete mess.
[We didn’t lift a finger. ]
The two eyeballs are swollen, the nose is bleeding, the lip is burst, and the hair is scattered…
[They were throwing punches at each other. ]
“… I see.”
The fact that the corners of Rita’s mouth turned up a little while ago was not something I had seen wrong.
“You two are in a room… “I can’t go in.”
The beating was so serious that the door to the bedroom I was originally using was made of rags, and the view beyond it was not very good either.
Since Lili knew about her situation, the twins tried to let Roro in first so that he could rest a little, but looking at the situation, it seemed like it would be difficult.
‘Well, that’s it.’
As for how I had prepared it, one of the monsters sat down on the nice sofa he had prepared and motioned for the twins to sit on either side of him.
“You ate a very large meal?”
“… Are you teasing me?”
“No way.”
She chuckled at Genoa’s growl, which was not the least bit threatening, and lightly tapped her bottom.
Fortunately, he didn’t avoid my touch, perhaps because he was just pouting.
“Ruel. “You did a good job too.”
“… “I just did what I had to do as a slave.”
I am one of those people who believes that there is nothing ‘for granted’ in this world.
It would have been natural for me to turn a blind eye because I had become a slave from the very first meeting.
That’s why I was even more willing to risk Ruel’s life for her.
I took off the coat I was wearing and handed it to Ruel.
“Okay, thank you.”
“Hey!! I am?!”
“You covered everything that needed to be covered.”
It’s true that he was equally as bad, but for some reason, Ruel’s clothes were torn so that only the most embarrassing parts stood out.
Anyway, I left Ruel, who was wrapping my coat around his body with an ecstatic expression, and Genoa, who was glaring at Ruel like he was going to kill him and gritting his teeth, for a moment.
“Rita.”
[ Yes. Nobleman. ]
As Rita approached, the demons, who were too healthy for the size of her room, trembled in horror.
[The five who gave us the note, please come forward. ]
“”…””
The demons, unable to hide as the doors froze or broke, began to roll their eyes and watch.
Slurp.
Then, razor-blue blades flowed from inside the wide sleeves of the dream demons, including Rita, and were held in their hands.
[Don’t make me say it twice. ]
Someone sauntered out from among the demons who were only paying attention to the cold warning that gave me chills.
Was that a signal?
Except for the first demon who walked forward, three more demons came forward.
“Ugh!!”
As the four people stood side by side, Nella, who had been held by the demons, was thrown to the side.
[Kneel. ]
“Hehe… !!”
“Please, just save me!!”
As soon as Rita finished speaking, the five people fell flat on their faces, hitting their foreheads on the floor.
Rita, who had forced them to kneel down, quietly stepped aside to her.
… A glance.
As the atmosphere suddenly became heavier, even her twins who were sitting next to her started wiggling their fingers while looking at me.
‘Rita said we should take care of ourselves cleanly.’
Rita’s opinion was valid because they were the ones who snitched on the note even though they clearly knew I was going to die.
So, even though it was uncomfortable and uncomfortable, I also agreed to some extent with Rita’s thoughts. In fact, she had even thought of delegating her handling to Rita and going straight to rest.
“Please save me, you guys tried to kill me too. Is there any reason why I should save you? If you have any, please raise your hand and talk now.”
“Ah, uh… !!”
I thought at least one of them would put an iron plate on her face and struggle, but they just gritted their teeth! All I did was shake my head and throw myself away.
I said, looking around not at the five people lying on the ground, but at the rest of the demons who were looking in this direction.
“Choices always come with a price. “You chose to sell me out, and now it’s time to pay the price.”
“Hehe, hehe…”
“Hibb!!”
‘… ?’
As I was about to continue speaking, I lowered my head when I heard a slightly sour smell creeping up from below, and I could see that one of the five was tired.
“Tsk, originally I was planning to cut off your head and hang it on the castle gate, but considering you didn’t come here with any intention, I will instead punish you by detaining you for a year.”
“”… ?!””
The five of us who were busy bowing our heads looked up at me with wide eyes as if we had made a promise.
[Close your eyes. ]
Of course, Rita’s warning quickly hit the floor again.
I continued speaking to the demons who were looking at us with very surprised faces.
“You who are on the sidelines are actually not much different from the five here. But it’s actually funny that someone would risk their life for someone they only saw for a few days. So, except for the five of us here, pack whatever baggage you can and leave the capital.”
Their faces showed various emotions, such as embarrassment, relief, and acceptance, as they were tensely concentrating on me.
“When you go down, I will provide you with some simple food and travel expenses, so be sure to take it.”
[If you heard it, get out of the way right away. ]
“”… !!””
As Rita released her momentum, the demons started to move in surprise.
As I sat quietly watching the girls running around busily for a moment, Genoa, who was quietly standing behind me, slightly lowered his head and whispered in my ear.
“Isn’t one year of detention too light?”
“Do you think so?”
“… These are the bitches who sold their lives, so isn’t that light? The minimum labor penalty was… Ugh?!”
I playfully bit Genoa’s bruised lip and she frowned and quickly backed away.
“I bet you won’t be able to last more than two days, right?”
“Yes?”
She said with a chuckle at Genoa’s behavior, where she immediately took a crooked stance.
“Shall we make a bet?”
“Under! Okay, place your bet!!”
“There is no softness?”
“What am I going to say?”
She smiled quietly at Genoa’s confident expression.
She was very curious whether she would be able to show the same confidence in front of her bag as she does now.
