The Great Demon King 503

Chapter 503 – [A Guide for Transcendentalists Traveling in the Post-Apocalypse]

The fish Ruri caught looked relatively normal for those who lived underground. There were often angler-like ones, but usually they were long and flat, and not so ugly.

It’s easier for me to clean it if there are fewer thorns… Anyway, I dismantled some of them, gutted them, and looked around. All of them had their own characteristics, so they were divided according to the difference between red and white flesh or the presence or absence of poison.

“This one is poisonous, so throw it away, you can eat this one, and this one… Ah, the variety is beyond imagination.”

“Didn’t it breed a lot because it’s just a league of fish? Oh, if you think about it, you can get this much fish, but since it’s only here, can I sell it as a special product?”

“It’s questionable whether the production will come out that much. Well, it won’t be bad.”

The merit of being unique and exclusive is a good material that has no competitors. Regardless of whether it is good in terms of economics, there is nothing as good as that in terms of selling.

Besides, it’s caused by the environment, so there’s nothing you can do about it! If you twist it, you guys use an orbital bombing satellite to make a lake!

“If you’re going to eat it as a side dish with alcohol, I think it’d be better to have a strong seasoning. If the fish has a strong seasoning, it’s better to boil it, right?”

“Do you have anything to season?”

“It’s all you need to do is brew the broth, and I grew and harvested the peppers in the cradle’s seed storage.”

The best way is to use ingredients such as kimchi or soy sauce that can brew enough flavors, but I can’t afford to make them right now. It is still premature to do so as we are working hard to produce food for the people who are flocking to the country right away.

Thanks to that, even those of us who are in key positions can’t afford big luxuries.

After that, when you reach the realm of stability, you have to use the luxury of showing that you have it. Well, now.

“Keueueueu, I’m the first person to eat fish in this era!”

“Oh, I guess so. Was there even a word for fish in the first place?”

“There is Bulgogi”

“When did you sit down and gag?”

There is no place for fish to grow in a world without drinking water. There are often water sources, but it is not enough for fish to live in the faint water stream that has barely risen through hundreds of kilometers of underground bedrock.

No, actually, I don’t usually grow crops that give off a spicy taste like peppers. Here it is possible

Anyway, I cooked it and brought it out. Ruri took a big bite of the thick, greasy meat stewed in red seasoning and passed it along with the drink.

Oh, of course, the alcohol is white cactus wine. Among the things Shion likes to take with him when he leaves here are the seeds of a white cactus.

“Good, good. Yes, it’s okay. I wanted this kind of leisure…”

“Did you drink and get drunk?”

“There is a saying that you get drunk with the atmosphere.”

It was late at night.

The sun sets and the moon rises to illuminate the ground. The moonlight illuminating the desert here is quite a sight to see, but I also like the night view created by humans.

Even at night, the bright night view is evidence of the civilization that humans rejected the environment and built on their own. In modern times, it may be said to be evidence of overtime, but in this era, it shows the measure of progress.

They usually go home after sunset and work when the sun rises. At least until lights that can be lit at night spread.

I also have a drink while watching the night view. The savory taste of the fish is enhanced by the combination of slightly spicy and sweet seasoning. If you drink here, you’ll go crazy.

“Ah, but don’t set the mood. I know roughly what the purpose is.”

“No, otoke know!”

“Ruri, you guys always say that when you get caught”

Ruri hasn’t given up on her purpose of wanting to have another sex yet. To be precise, she must have wanted a child.

“There must be many other good people, so why are you doing this to me?”

“……..”

I asked straight forward.

Right now it’s just me and Ruri. It was a place where I could honestly answer and ask questions.

There was even alcohol in it… Ah, I’m not drunk, but Ruri.

“It’s because I had such a bad first experience. Next time, I thought I should choose a good person.”

“Ah”

Come to think of it, Ruri’s first experience with her was prostitution. Two potatoes, too. Did he say that he gave one to Hui-ae?

No matter what I thought, I couldn’t imagine anything good under that condition. However, the bitterness of thinking that there would be plenty of people in this world who were better than Ruri and not worse than her was overcome with a sweet drink.

“I still have nightmares from time to time. Because I did something that I will remember for the rest of my life like that. I wasn’t considerate of the other person…”

“Do you regret it?”

“It would be a lie if I said I had no regrets. But even if I went back in time, I would make the same choice. Because that was the only way.”

“Hmm”

A handful of grain is of great value to a person before he or she dies of starvation. Like a sip of water to a person before dying of thirst.

Ruri sold her virgin because she thought it was worth it. She felt pity for that, but it was already past and it was not something I could interfere with.

“And me, I’ve always wanted to raise a child. I just couldn’t afford it. I don’t have time right now.”

“Time? Ah…”

Ruri’s lifespan is at most 40 years from now.

Even so, in this era of low life expectancy, it was reduced to that extent as a reaction to working in a quartz factory.

I don’t know exactly how old Ruri is now, but she’s about a high school student. Compared to Ruri on the Earth side, she is probably a year or two younger. With that lifespan, even if she now gets pregnant and gives birth to her child, she will soon see that child turn twenty.

“There’s even a medical facility in the cradle.”

“I’ve been treated. But they say there’s no hope. It’s been quite a while since I was young and suffered from such bad things…”

“What about life extension procedures?”

“In the first place, this medical tool or medicine is based on spirits, so it doesn’t work well for me when I come into contact with spirits contaminants. There’s no way I can get a precise procedure in that situation, and if I use strong medicine, my body won’t be able to withstand it.”

“It’s a mountain beyond a mountain like this”

“Well, that’s right”

In the end, it is an unchanging fact that Ruri dies in middle age. At least she will, if she’s lucky.

If I put my hands on it right now, it won’t be that difficult to extend Luri’s lifespan. There are only a few that come to mind right now, but you just have to choose the best one and use it.

However, extending her lifespan will not change her Ruri purpose. It’s not that she won’t do it, but even so, her excuse was one less.

“Are you interested in something like an affair?”

“Are you crazy?!?! Do you want to see me get beaten to death by Shion?!”

“Even if you get hit, you won’t die anyway, and even if you die, you’ll be reincarnated.”

“If you think like that, where in the world would you be okay with?”

Shion says that only me is single-minded, but there are times when I often become a lover with someone else. This episode… To say that the current body is the body of the first playthrough, but anyway, Adriana, who is on Mars, is more than a friend.

I feel sorry for Zion every time, but it’s my fault that I can’t be ruthless enough to reject the heart of someone who approaches me with sincerity.

“I’m glad you know”

“Oh, are you here?”

“I followed the delicious smell. Is it boiled fish?”

“Would you like a drink?”

As the atmosphere became strange, Zion came. I’m honestly glad I didn’t have a good feeling about what would have happened if I had gone in the mood like this.

Two women and a man get together and drink. It was quite out of balance, but I and Shion are a married couple, so it’s safe.

“Hmm, the fish has its own flavor here too. The seasoning is delicious, but a bit monotonous…”

“It can’t be helped. There’s no kimchi or soy sauce, so there’s no way the repertoire of braised dishes is wide. Spicy spices like chili peppers have been harvested recently, so it’s hard to make them with just one.”

“It’s okay because it’s delicious.”

“Well, that’s the same”

Shion drank more than just a snack to eat. Originally, it was her favorite cedar cactus wine, but she drank quite a bit.

Is it hot-blooded? Or is there another reason? I was half-mixed and not sure, so I asked quietly.

“How far have you heard?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m angry to see you pretending not to know”

“Ah, this is a premonition of chaos!”

“What are you talking about, the source of the chaos?”

“So you’re not running away?”

Shion, who eats a thick piece of fish stew and pours the white cactus liquor straight from a fairly large glass, looks like he is drinking heavily.

“Well, to be honest, I don’t have any big feelings.”

“It sounds like you have small emotions.”

“Well, it can’t be helped. But if you think it’s because my husband is popular, it’s okay.”

“How many other people in the world could like me other than you?”

“Isn’t that quite a lot for that?”

“Hagishi, I searched the Ruri Ruri network and it says there are more than 10 people. How many unofficially?”

“Hey!”

“Come out, adventurer Ruri! Solve the rumor that the worst man ate an elf!”

“You! You can’t use it if you ask the Ruri Ruri Network for such things!”

-What elf? Just Elf or High Elf?

“Eh, I don’t know about that!”

“No, why did the radio waves reach me?!”

Is it because it’s the Ruri I knew in the past?! I’m sure God-Ruri-Ruri’s monster transmissions must have been cut off long ago!

The days when I was a newbie and didn’t know anything and received the radio waves have passed!!!!

“Well, if you do this, it will only end up hurting someone. If we leave, Ruri will die without finding her happiness as a woman. And she won’t feel comfortable with him or me.”

“Oh, then no way!”

“I drank a lot today, so I’ll go in early and go to bed first. I’ll sleep well today and wake up tomorrow morning.”

Zion has a lot of affection. He is a Hanon with rare emotions, but he has a human soul, so he is very affectionate.

That’s why no matter how wicked he is, he feels guilty about murder… He won’t do it unless it’s necessary if someone gets hurt.

“If you come in until you wake up, you won’t know anything about what happened last night.”

“Are you okay?”

I asked because I was worried, but Shion answered with a grin.

“Anyway, isn’t the seat next to me the place you’ll be returning to?

“It’s not very good considering the feelings of the people who are waiting…”

“Well, you can think of it as the grievance of a wife with a popular husband. If you know that he will come back in the end, you can wait.”

The official name of Zion has risen. She honestly didn’t know if she’d allow it, but it’s likely that she heard what Ruri had to say about her.

I know because it’s me, but Shion allowed it because he didn’t see Ruri as his rival. It may be a bit bad-tempered, but it’s like an enemy due to compassion. It’s a bit awkward when you hug a woman with that feeling…

“It doesn’t matter. I didn’t really want anything like love anyway.”

“Anything smaller?”

“You shouldn’t ask such a thing. A woman’s heart is a reed.”

“That’s not what I would say at a time like this.”

“How about it, don’t have adultery sex!”

“Use nice words!!”

Even if Zion allows it, my heart is different. Ah, of course, since Zion allowed it, I had no choice but to reject it, but the problem in my heart was something else.

I mentioned earlier that I hug Ruri, but she is close to the enemy line. But it was worse than simple prostitution.

Sexual intercourse without a price (love) is no different from rape than buying and selling sex for a price.

It’s just the difference between forcibly or with consent, but I think they’re the same. Even now, when the atmosphere has almost gone that way, I still don’t like it in a part of my heart.

“It’s true. There is also love that starts with rice cakes.”

“Did you sit down saying something like a doujinshi… I think I always tell the Ruri to stop looking at my eyes.”

“Anyway, I’ll get permission from my wife. Why don’t you start soon?”

“It’s quite aggressive, but as far as I know, aren’t you Luli’s day and night sleepers? Can I rush that?”

“Do you want to check it?”

Even on the subject of blatant sex dripping and liking erotic things, when it got to the point, Ruri was the group with no ambition.

To be precise, it is the kind of personality that satisfies men, feeling like a model of a wise mother and wife.

………I never thought I’d see it myself!
