Chapter 210 – Astaroth Had Fun
‘It’s ambiguous.’
I looked at Ena and slightly frowned.
The reason she brought her from Carcian Kingdom in the first place was to correct her habit of her.
If you give it a moderate amount of hardship, you will figure out my subject, and the appearance is not bad, so I thought of having it once if I had a chance.
However, as the battle with the demon army became more intense than expected, it became a burden to carry Ena, who was daunted to protect herself.
Right now, it was also questionable whether Ena had to accompany the rest of the party to the capital.
And the same goes for Ena, she just looked at me with an expression that she didn’t know why she was here.
“Princess Ena.”
“Yes, warrior.”
In response to my words, Ena responded with a tone that became quite polite.
Still, it seemed that the special sense of privilege that was unique to him as he traveled with me had been shattered.
“If you wish, you may return to Karsian Kingdom.”
“…”
I said that to Ena, and she didn’t answer me.
To be honest, it was a little wasteful to let go like this, but I thought that this wasn’t just an opportunity.
It was the kingdom of Carcian, as long as she had her camara her, it was a place she could visit anytime, and it would n’t be too difficult to get her back into her hands her if she wanted to.
However, Ena, who did not respond, gave a completely different answer than I expected.
“No. I don’t know if I’ll be helpful, but I’ll move with the others.”
I couldn’t help but be surprised to see Ena who said she would move with my party on her own.
Unlike her other women her, she had been dragged along by force, and I never expected her to stay.
“Why?”
I asked Ena, and she answered my question with a rather calm expression.
“Even if you return to the kingdom anyway, if the hero does n’t fulfill his will his, the kingdom won’t be able to avoid disaster either. Even though I may not be of much help, I want to try my best rather than just blankly waiting for the results.”
I smiled at Ena’s expression as she looked at me.
Come to think of it, she was originally that kind of woman.
Even when the kingdom was driven to the brink by Velikiya, the woman did not give up and gathered the people to the end to stand against it.
“Great. Do whatever you want.”
I didn’t hate the way Ena looked like that, and I allowed her to move with her party her.
After all, I also planned to struggle with her like she did.
“Talion.”
I called Talion, who rode to the passage Hazel found.
Purr-.
I could see that he was making a tantrum in my voice, but I decided to let it go for now.
“Please take care of your companions.”
I said that while stroking Talion’s cheek.
Purr-.
I could see him trudging lightly at my words and quietly walking next to Ena.
Again, I didn’t get along with him.

“Hey, let’s ask a question.”
Astaroth, who headed to the continent through the hole made by the woman Baal had brought him, was very happy.
Unlike the demon world, which is full of dark and shady energy, the continent is full of vitality and full of warm sunlight and refreshing wind.
Of course, such an environment was not necessarily good for beings in the demon realm, but Astaroth was satisfied enough just to be in a world completely different from his wife, Astaroth.
What can I say?
It was such a feeling that everything in the world looked beautiful.
Because of this, Astaroth was in no hurry.
He offered to give his wife the Empire as alimony, but he didn’t have to rush things.
It was a fairly leisurely pace, but he had to head to the empire anyway, and he eventually caught a man he encountered along the way.
“What?”
“Which direction is the imperial capital?”
“Did you come all the way here without knowing where the ecliptic was? It’s just a idiot.”
The man captured by Astaroth responded with a sneer.
Although the word “Countryhead” Bothered him, Astaroth smiled brightly at him.
“You know?”
“If you walk straight along the road you see there, you will see the gate of the Imperial City.”
How not to spit on a smiling face.
The man obediently informed the location of the ecliptic to Astaroth, who was smiling brightly without the slightest hint of malice.
“Oh, thank you.”
“Thank you, what a big deal to tell you that.”
The man responded by waving his hand at Astaroth, who expressed his gratitude to him.
It was at that moment that Astaroth’s eyes twinkled.
He looked at the man who showed him the way and asked the question again.
“Do you have any wishes?”
“Wish? What, are you suddenly asking that?”
“Just tell me something.”
“Well…”
“Yeobot!”
The moment the man was troubled by Astaroth’s words his.
A nervous woman’s voice was heard, and the man’s shoulders shrank while he was thinking about his wish his with a happy face at the unexpected question.
“Are you fooling around there again? Do you know how many things to do?”
“Ike. That bastard’s wife is nagging again. My wish is that you stop listening to that nagging.”
The man answered Astaroth that way without thinking.
For a man who hadn’t thought about a wish for a long time because he lived day by day, just imagining it was something new enough.
“Oh, is that so?”
But the man didn’t know.
He really didn’t think the wish he had given it much thought to would come true.
Astaroth laughed intrigued at the man’s words his, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the man’s wife, and at the same time, the man’s wife’s head exploded.
The man froze as he looked at his wife his, whose head had exploded in an instant and she died.
Even if he dreamed, he wondered what kind of dog-like dream he was dreaming.
“Congratulations. My wish has come true.”
Astaroth patted the stiff man on the shoulder and said so in a soft voice.
The man who felt Astaroth’s touch finally realized that all of this was not a dream.
The smell of the soil of his familiar homeland was so vivid, and he could feel the touch of Astaroth, no, a man asking for directions.
“… Wh, what did you do?”
The man glered at Astaroth and asked.
His wife died at the touch of his opponent.
Of course, he was the one who made that wish, but he never wanted an ending like this.
“Yes? You won’t be nagging in the future, isn’t it satisfying?”
“Mi, crazy… When did I ask you to kill me?!”
The man said that to Astaroth, who smiled at him.
No, at the same time as he said that, the man swung the farm implement he was holding in his hand toward Astaroth’s hateful face his.
For the smile that had been pleasing just moments ago now gave me goosebumps like a devil’s smile.
“Oh, do humans really not understand?”
However, the farm implement that the man swung vigorously stopped in the air before reaching its destination.
As if there was a transparent wall in the air, no matter how hard the man tried, the farming tools could n’t get any closer to Astaroth’s body his.
“Die!”
But the man did not give up.
No, in the first place, he did not think that he would be able to do something against an opponent who could kill a person with a single finger.
But even if he died at the hands of his opponent, he wanted to take responsibility for the words he thoughtlessly uttered.
“I have no intention of killing you. Because you kindly showed me the way.”
Astaroth whispered as he saw the man screaming at him.
At that, the man lost all strength in his legs and collapsed into his seat.
There was no will left to live, but only the thought of taking this revenge someday filled the man’s mind.
“… What’s your name?”
“My name is Astaroth. Vengeance is a pretty beautiful feeling.”
Astaroth said that to the man asking for his name.
Then, as if he had no regrets left, he turned around and started walking toward the path the man had pointed out.
How many steps did you take?
Astaroth stopped and looked back at the man.
“Oh, I didn’t get paid for my wish. The cost of taking someone else’s life is, of course, your own.”
“What?”
The man asked Astaroth with an absurd expression, but those were the man’s last words his.
The man died, just as his wife had, and his head exploded.
After his head exploded, Astaroth looked at the man’s body as he slowly fell to the floor, then moved on again.
Certainly, while thinking that the continent is a much more enjoyable place than the demon realm.
