81. Hick?!

It is not difficult to find Iris and Master after leaving the palace.

Unbeknownst to Master, Iris’ aura still remained, albeit faintly.

Even if that wasn’t the case, it was just a matter of finding the knights who would be monitoring the two.

“You two. Turn over quickly.”

“Yes?”

“Why is this?”

“It’s so noisy that people can’t see what they can see when they crowd.”

Gerard and Iris tilted their heads for a moment as they pulled out their hoods.

But soon he quietly put on his hood.

“Are you going to Sister Daisy’s residence right away?”

“That’s right. I haven’t seen him in a while, and I wonder how he’s doing. Of course, I’m not really going right away, but since I’ve come this far, I’ll have to look around the castle.”

They say forests are the best way to hide trees.

It is said that a place with a lot of people is the best to hide people.

And there’s no way that demon worshipers don’t know that.

If you’re really planning something in the capital city, it will be similar to the previous city.

It’s not a place where you can’t hide away or where few people go.

Conversely, it is a place where so many people go that you wouldn’t even think it was here.

I’m sure they’re plotting something right there.

The ones who hide and blend in like that are very good guys.

But there’s just one thing: erasing one’s own energy is immature.

The smell that comes from people who have been smeared with the blood of others and flooded with negative emotions.

That condensed, condensed, disgusting stench was something that could not be erased.

“….”

From the moment you leave the palace to the time you enter the area where people live.

Expanding my senses, I thoroughly scoured everything my eyes could reach.

I tried to check it right away if I thought there was even the slightest stinky smell.

They say there’s nothing good about moving recklessly in the castle.

I’m the teacher of those warriors, so what’s wrong with them?

Not even doing bad things, they said they would do good things.

“….”

However, strangely, nothing was felt.

According to the memories Iris shared with me, the royal castle passed without even using her hands.

That means that the royal palace, which was supposed to be a kind of control tower, has collapsed.

It was said that the core troops guarding the palace evaporated in an instant.

A place relatively close to the royal palace, or a place not far from it.

I thought it would stink at that point, but it wasn’t.

“Master. Are you so proud of the kingship? Are you looking around a lot?”

“Does it look like you’re looking around because it’s strange?”

“Isn’t it? You’ve been watching everything from a while ago, haven’t you?”

“… Done. It wouldn’t make any sense to explain it to you anyway.”

Iris has a very good sense by nature.

It’s not a talent acquired through an acquired influence like mine.

Maybe that’s why I just swing my fist without thinking.

When I suddenly acted strangely, that was the correct answer.

It would be foolish to explain to Iris that she is sensitive or detective.

After all, that guy is the kind of guy who would say, ‘If you just break everything down, it will come out.’

Even really doing that and then finding the correct answer was even more bizarre.

“Are you sure you want to look around a bit?”

I would like to think that even Gerard is touring the castle.

I was trying to say if I could be doing this for that purpose.

But sometimes I thought it wouldn’t be bad to spend some time like this.

After thinking for a while, he nodded slowly.

“How many times have you been to your castle?”

“Iris will only come once. I have many times.”

“I never came because the brother-in-law asked me to come. Do you remember?”

“Because you fought so hard and didn’t show your face even once. It was necessary.”

“Take care of Esther’s face, brother-in-law. The youngest… Oh, I’m not the youngest anymore. Anyway, the 7th is better at going around alone than I am.”

Iris’s words suddenly reminded me of a girl who was at the peak of timidity.

Is it because of the setting that there is only one demon left in the world?

Or maybe it’s because those who confuse the world are similar to demons.

A guy whose hobby was to dig into the ground and lie there quietly when left alone.

His specialty is hiding in the shadows and darkness, and he doesn’t appear for days if he isn’t called.

It is safe to say that this far exceeded the level of timidity.

“Gerard. According to Esther, she’s still alone.”

“Yes. From the mansion of the great Garam to the Lily sisters. Everyone tried to convince me, but I kept avoiding and hesitating, and didn’t really try to get close to people.”

“You’re a fool. Who cares about being a demon? There are many people who don’t even know what a demon is in the first place. They say they are a race that only existed in the days of the ancient kingdom.”

“Iris. Watch your mouth. Still, it’s a sensitive matter for Sister Esther.”

“It’s a problem because he’s a guy who spends his time digging in the ground alone. Rather, it’s so dark and somber that the worshipers of the demons would prefer it. No one has seen her face.”

Listening to the story of the two disciples, I am a little worried.

I thought Esther would change a bit, but I wonder if it has gotten worse.

Still, if you do the work of a warrior, you will inevitably meet people.

Feeling that no one cares about being a demon.

I wondered if I would be able to open my heart little by little.

If he still hasn’t thought about opening up himself.

On the contrary, the demonic part could change negatively.

There was actually a part like this in the game story.

After hearing the story that the poison hero, Esther Marigold, is a demon.

It is said that none other than her, her demon worshipers, contacted her and said this to her.

If you are a demon, you must be a creature created by a demon.

If it’s the last remaining legacy of that creature, it’s natural for it to be with us.

Let’s hold hands and follow the demon’s will to erase this world.

It is said that he said such bullsh*t very nicely.

Even in front of Esther.

– The result is obvious. –

The game story did not write long about what happened after that.

Just one line, ‘I never saw those demon worshipers again after that’ was all.

“Leave Esther alone, Iris. It is still a very sensitive time.”

“Don’t do that, Master, meet me. You’re a complete child in front of Master.”

“The kid is right. But I am a warrior like you. Don’t undercut it too much.”

“It’s frustrating, it’s frustrating. One skill is really the best. When you’re ashamed, your face won’t even show. Are you worried that you might forget something like this?”

Iris is not Daisy who is good at exaggerating for nothing.

To be honest, he is a disciple like a fact bomber.

In a nutshell, the fact that he’s talking like that right now.

That means Esther is promoting alone without ever seeing his face.

Until now, from monsters to advanced monsters.

You must have worked very hard and done well, but now it’s different.

From now on, even if I don’t like it or feel ashamed, I have a reason to stick around.

It has been confirmed that the fragments of the Demon God have already appeared, violating the law of cause and effect.

In this situation, Esther, who specializes in ambush, is very difficult to deal with alone.

Let alone fighting, running away won’t be easy.

“Gerard.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Did you keep in touch with Esther?”

“Yes. Even if he doesn’t show his face, he makes sure to communicate in time. I have already contacted Master’s departure. If you are the youngest, no, if you are the seventh personality, you will run past them all.”

I nodded slowly at Gerard’s words.

Even if the other disciples are a little erratic or have a loose screw.

On the other hand, he showed a firm appearance and a solid appearance as well.

Ester was a demonic girl who was always timid and timid.

Naturally, to him, it’s easier said than a loud voice.

It has become much more soothing than admonishing.

Thanks to that, he also opened up little by little and treated me as comfortably as I did.

And after that, they showed their own appearance to their sister-in-law and brother-in-law.

If there’s a small problem, it’s that he relies on me a lot.

It’s not that I lean on it rationally, it’s that I really treat it like a parent.

To the extent that I’m secretly worried that it might become an obsession.

“Master. The youngest in front of me. I see Master Tae too.”

When I looked up at those words, I really saw Iris and Master in front of me.

The two were sitting in front of a food store, talking to each other.

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud because it seemed like they were getting pretty close.

“The youngest seems to be very sociable. Having a conversation like that with Master Tae.”

“What? Execution. Teacher Tae is just a good person. He has so much to talk about.”

“Sister-in-law. I want everyone to keep in mind that the topic of conversation when meeting like you is not about how to punch or how to kick.”

“Taesabu-nim likes you? Hit the place you hit again, hit the place where you bleed. Ha ha ha if you say so! And with a hearty laugh.”

“….”

I always feel that, but Iris has a demonic nature.

If I had been born in Gangho, which is said to have been Master’s world, it would have been a perfect fit.

And under Master, hahahahaha! I would have killed everyone while doing it.

“… Did you come?”

Master, who was listening to Iris’ story, looked at me secretly and said.

Master’s expression reflected in my eyes was, ‘Take this guy off.’

“You stupid disciple. You said you were watching, so you were just sitting here and filling your stomach?”

“Because I was walking around hard?! And it wasn’t me who was hungry, it was Master Tae!”

“This man! Where did you lie! Bo, when did I say I was hungry?!”

At that, I secretly looked at the table.

There are empty bowls with similar numbers.

There were more that lay on Master’s side, albeit minutely.

He said he could survive without eating anything.

As expected, there is no business like a heavenly demon in front of delicious food.

“Come on, Master. I’m done with my errands, so I’m going to go to the place where my disciple is.”

“You finished early. Alright, let’s go.”

Master said

And got up from his seat.

Suddenly, Iris grabbed Master and said, “No!”

Thanks to that, Master did not stand up and became sluggish.

“Why is that?”

“There is still one left. You have to eat everything, even dessert.”

“Haven’t you already eaten enough?”

“Still, if you don’t eat dessert, it’s disrespectful to your body, Taesabu. Oh, here you are.”

While saying that, Iris held out a plate in front of Master.

“… What is this?”

“Try it once.”

I know what that is. It is ice cream topped with honey.

Even though Master looks like that, he is secretly weak with sweet things.

Iris, he managed to know that and even prepared dessert properly.

“Hmm… First of all, this is like honey. Don’t try it for now.”

And as Iris and I expected.

Master tilted her head and carefully put the ice cream into her mouth.

“… Hick?!”

Your eyes twinkled in amazement.
