Survival of the Demon King of Another World 11

Chapter 11 – Pandemonium # 11

Time passes in the palace.

While going to the library every day, Carti taught me the most basic and basic knowledge as a demon.

To think that you cared so much about me, who was nothing more than an asshole. Carti must have been an angel.

But the angels you see in the demon realm are just crazy people. Listening to it reminds me of the extreme fascists who fell into chauvinism, but honestly, I’ve never seen them myself, so I’m not sure.

“By the way, Karti, can we just call them brother and sister?”
“Nominally, she is, but in reality she is not a brother or sister.”
“What?”
“Wouldn’t it be more accurate to just say blood relatives?”
“Nominal?”

Is it a title?

“Weren’t you born from an egg laid by a mother like us?”
“Yeah, that’s what you mean.”

Carti said as she put down the teacup she was holding.

“Actually, our mother, the Duchess, and the demon gene matching rate are extremely low. We can hardly be considered children.”
“This is a distant sound.”

Low genetic concordance rate?

Duchess Kerasis lays her eggs alone. Our blood relatives hatch from that egg. There is no other gene involved in the process.

Aren’t they purely the children of the duchess alone… No. But again, this is unknown.

This is not the Earth I used to live on. You can’t use their common sense. This was a world I didn’t know, and it was the Demon World. It is a world where demons and magic exist.

Of course common sense is different.

“In Carti’s opinion, blood relatives are not the real children of the mother, the Duchess, but rather beings created in the womb by some kind of magical action.”
“An existence created in the womb by magical action? What’s the difference between that and just a child?”
“Well? It’s hard to explain. Above all, you can’t even say that blood relatives are the same race as your mother, the Duchess, right?”

Different races?

“Blood relatives don’t have the ability to lay eggs. The race is different.”
“Ah.”

I know that. Only the Duke can lay eggs. All other clans give birth normally.

Wow.

That was weird

Are they of a different race?

“I’m of a different race, but can I call you a real child?”
“That’s… That’s right. But do strong blood relatives like Karti have completely different genes?”
“Yes?”
“No. Karti is beautiful. She looks a lot like her mother, the Duchess.”

Indeed, Karti was beautiful.

She’s younger than me, but she has a charming beauty.

Could it be that genetic matching increases according to ability level? A strong upper blood relative like Carti is close to his offspring, but the slave class there is completely different, something like that was built in his head.

“Uh, uh…”

At my words, Karti gave me a strange look.

Why?

“Culce oppa… Are you saying that young demons like Carti are beautiful?”
“No! I didn’t mean something strange, I just said an objective fact! Don’t make that face! I’m not a strange demon!”
“Well, Carti doesn’t know the details either.”

Don’t you know

“Only the mother, the Duchess, has that ability, and she is the greatest demon. Finding out his secret is difficult even for Carti.”

Still, I think I know a lot for my age.

“Then what are we after all? It’s true that we are creatures or demons, but are we artifacts?”
“Artificial objects? That’s not it. Let’s compare them… Homunculus created by Pandemonium magicians? They are artifacts. They have similarities to blood relatives, but they are completely different.”

It’s awfully difficult.

“Is it.”

I just roughly nodded. This is so different from my common sense that it is difficult to understand.

You can just think of it as being roughly like a child, but not a child. After all, if I inherited the duke’s genes, I couldn’t be this stupid. He inherited the gene of the strongest in the Demon World, but he must be an idiot.

“What Karti said is right.”

Because Duchess Kerasis can lay eggs not only for higher-ranking blood relatives, but also for slave-class blood relatives. She comes in a variety of eggs, but it’s kind of genetic.

“But then, shouldn’t I have to call you something other than your mother, Duchess? What is Godmother? Blood Pledge Lord? There’s a saying like that.”
“Hmm… Mother, if I draw the line with the Duke like that, she won’t look very nice.”
“Ah.”

I’ve heard similar words.

Anyway, I’m thinking of you as a child… Is that so? Difficult. The world of demons.

“Anyway, Culse oppa. The Advent Festival is about to begin. I don’t even have enough time to study.”
“Keugh…!”

Advent will begin soon.

All I can do is study. Let’s burn all the remaining time until Advent by studying. If I don’t do that, my body will burn.

*          *

Finally.

“Awakened! How to use basic magic power! Also awakened! Basic black magic!”

Thanks to Karti’s ardent guidance, I was able to get through the basic series almost before Advent started!

“Congratulation!”

ㅡPerong!

As Karti claps, small, colorful explosions occur.

“Culse oppa is about 6 years old in terms of demons now!”
“Oooh! 6 years old! So cool! But how does it compare to the kinsfolk slave class?”
“A little bit better!”

I’ve really learned this far, but it’s a little better than a slave. I think the normal cuts of the demons are really tough. Actually, it’s because it’s a strong race. You cannot compare an ordinary demon to an ordinary human.

But I can compare myself to humans.

Except for the fact that he has a bit of magical power and has knowledge of basic black magic in his head, he is no different from a real human!

However!

In other words, better than a normal human!

Then I’m confident I’ll survive!
That’s how I believe in myself and brainwash myself!

“Carti! Thank you! It’s all thanks to you! Carti, if it wasn’t for you, I would have just headed alone and ended up failing and frustrated! I lived thanks to you! Thank you so much!”

Karti, who guided me until today.

ㅡWoe!

I bowed out to Karti.

A situation where an adult bows down to a kid. It’s so inhumane, but I don’t care about that at all. Karti is my benefactor. I’m not a bug that can’t even bow to a benefactor.

“Culse oppa, it’s too soon to be happy. To be honest, I don’t have the time, and Culce oppa is slow to learn, so I’ve only taught you the basic level so far.”
“It’s okay! That’s enough!”

I have confidence now!

“Because I was able to survive thanks to you!”
“It’s a big mistake to think you can survive that much.”
“Well?”
“Culse oppa has never been outside the dukedom, so he doesn’t know the reality.”
“Uh huh?”
“You will die eventually.”

What.

Why did you suddenly say such harsh words…?

Karti’s tone was the same as usual.
A voice that seemed to speak for granted.

“Ah, no. I know all about it. At least that harsh reality. But I’m just saying this to give hope. From the start, I’m going to die anyway. I can’t do it. I’m an idiot. If I stay like this, it’s just going to end? You have to eat well. “

Only then can you get through it.

Human beings are beings that move by controlling their bodies with their minds. If his heart is broken, he can’t even start. That is why he must eat hard.

“Brother… You saw it in the fairy tale Carti recommended.”

But Karti answered with a pitiful gaze.

“A hasty hope leads to greater despair.”
“No, Carti! What if you, who taught me well until today, say that! Does Carti, who helped me, say that?!”

Why do you despair of me!

Please say something hopeful!

“Carti only helped Culse oppa because he felt sorry for him. It’s fate that he has to struggle with his death fixed. That’s whyhehelped him. And he can’t lie to such poor Culce oppa. That’s too much.”

Nope…!

Don’t do too much!

That’s what I need right now!

“This reality isn’t as kind as Carti’s… It’s cruel enough. There’s a high chance that Culse oppa will die with hope.”

At those words, I felt like I was about to urinate.

“Carti…! If you, the benefactor of my life, say that!”

ㅡ Fluffy.

Legs lose strength.

“My heart is broken!”

Breaks!

I sobbed as I hit the ground…! That’s too cruel!

“Please don’t take away my small and precious hope!”

The existence that I believed to be a lucky blue bird was saying something too cold!

“It’s okay even if it’s an empty word… A warm word to me! Even if I die, I’ll die with the last warm words I heard in my heart! So give me warm words of encouragement…!”

Tears!!!

Burst out!!!

“Whoa, whoop whoop… Ah, uh, uhhh…! Ha, hah… Whoop, whoop!”

A sudden sound of laughter.

“Karti…?”
“Haa… I think Culce oppa is really unique. Everything he does or says.”

ㅡRemember.

After saying that, Karti put her hand on her chest.

“Okay! Then Carti will teach you a trick! Get up from your seat! Culse oppa!”

And then shout proudly
With a happy face.

“A trump card…?”
“Yes!”
“Five.”

Oh oh.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh !!!

“Hope!”

Time passed just like that.

Finally, the Demon King’s Advent began.

*          *

Festive mood.

ㅡKyahahahahahaha!
ㅡHahahahahahahahaha!
ㅡWowhaha!
ㅡSo much fun!
ㅡLong live the Great Demon King!
ㅡKhahaha!
ㅡOh kitchen! Oh oh oh kitchen! Oh oh oh oh!!!

Laughter was in full bloom not only in the corridors of the palace, but also in all the streets of the capital that could be seen from the window.

The sounds of laughter from the demons were all filled with anticipation. I bet these fuckers. The Advent of the Demon King is a really fun festival for everyone except for the people who are designated as sacrifices!

“I’ve been playing and falling out! I’m nervous and shaking like crazy! Everyone’s playing and falling down! You bastard demons!”

The young demons of blood relatives who seem to have been born normally, not from eggs, lick the demon king candy while holding the hands of the mother and father demon tribe, and the bakery sells demon king cookies and demon king bread!

Even stalls sell the famous Daemaju Juice!

“I want to eat too!”

It seemed to me that I was the only one in this world who was insecure. This feeling of being isolated.

What a pity.

I’ve been preparing like crazy until today, and I’ve learned a lot from Karti, but I still can’t erase my anxiety. Soon the servants of the palace will come to get me. Then, prepare for the ritual, proceed with the ritual, and eject into the middle world.

“Ha.”

I feel anxious.
Run away?

I’m thinking like that.

ㅡ Kikkiik.

The door is open!
Have you finally come to catch me!

I wonder if the children who were being chased by Grandpa Mangtae felt like this! I grabbed my beating heart and looked towards the door!

“Culse oppa! It’s time to go prepare for the ceremony!”
“Huh? Karti?”
“Carti will guide you! Carti knows everything!”
“Big!”

Okay.

Lastly, I just wanted to see Carti’s face.

“Whoa. Then let’s go, Karti.”
“Follow!”

I immediately put on a heavy demonic coat.

Say goodbye to the familiar demon world… Fuck you!
