13. Repeated misunderstandings (3)
“Answer. “How should I kill you?”
“Master Shantrina is nearby.”
“I guess so. “Because you are her servant.”
“Did you say you would kill me knowing that? Do it too much. “My lord, when you were young, who was your partner when you were learning how to treat women?”
“Noisy.”
“Are you embarrassed?”
“Guide me.”
“My face turned red.”
“Don’t play tricks, just guide them.”
“I told you that when handling your lord’s woman’s neck, you should treat it as if you were biting into soft tofu. “Because you treat me so cruelly, there is a rumor going around in the demon world that my lord has no ability to reproduce.”
“Alex that bastard!”
Deus followed his servant around the alley and entered a house. A woman
with night-black hair neatly
combed was sitting neatly in the room.
Her eyes are soft and her hands are held together politely.
If that were all she had, she would have been a chaste woman… but
she didn’t wear even a single shred of clothing.
“Would you like some clothes?”
“Because I’m the type of person who can’t stand the heat.”
“You can’t have a serious conversation.”
“Didn’t I teach you to look at women like stones?”
“I heard that all the real needlework
is missing one screw.”
Her name is Shan Trina.
Among the Seven Dukes of the Demon World, he was the master of the demons and prostitutes who followed the virtue of lust.
“Please sit down my lord.”
“It looks like the rumor is late, but it’s been a long time since I hit you, my lord.”
“Once a lord, always a lord. “A girl only follows one man and doesn’t know the other.”
“…Haven’t you lived for 666 centuries
?”
“Yes, my lord.”
“The lord changes once every 100 years.”
“Are you jealous?”
“Does the choice of words really sound like a beggar’s foot wrap?”
“Do not worry. “In our time, we only follow our lord.”
Deus sat down on the sofa at the head of the room.
Lustmaker Shantrina knelt at Deus’s feet and bowed her head.
“Shantrina.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Why are you here?”
“It’s probably the same reason my lord is here.”
“I don’t want to hear any puns.”
“Master, how long do you plan to do this?”
“This kind of thing?”
“The hero’s game.”
“My lord. There are only 20 years left. There is so much to learn in the meantime. The past demon kings felt…”
“Shantrina.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“I think you said you didn’t want to listen to puns. Answer me. Or even if it is you, I won’t forgive you.”
Shantrina looked straight into Deus’ eyes.
Black anger was tangled in the immeasurable depth of water.
I couldn’t handle it so I ended up looking away.
“It’s the same reason my lord is here.”
“Speak. “The reason.”
“…Master. “We, the Seven Dukes,
have always worked hard for the victory of the Demon World.”
“Don’t try to buy petty sympathy. “You just have to answer what I ask.”
“Please don’t delve into Daroche’s affairs any further.”
I felt a tingling sensation in the back of my head. As expected, the magic peacocks got involved.
What Alex had suspected turned out to be true.
“Don’t interrupt?”
“You wouldn’t dare say that. “I just ask you to do so.”
Deus, with his arms crossed, raised his chin and spoke.
“Persuade.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Shantrina got up from the floor and approached Deus.
She was dazzlingly naked, not even wearing underwear. She sat on Deus’ lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.
He licked the red lips with his tongue to moisten them, then pressed his cheek to Deus’s.
A deep, nasal sigh tickled Deus’s ears.
“What are you doing?”
“Persuasion.”
“Ha,
most people are persuaded this way.”
“What kind of serious conversation am I going to have with you? They say all seven dukes are half-hearted. This is why we lose every hundred years.”
Shantrina glanced under Deus’s temple with the tip of her nose.
“Don’t be angry.”
“I don’t like this. Don’t equivocate and say it clearly. “What happened to Daroche?”
“My lord, you know it well.”
“I don’t know. “I’m asking because I don’t know.”
“lie. But why did Alex kill Darroche?”
Deus jumped up from his seat.
“Alex?”
“Yes, my lord.”
“I heard he committed suicide.”
“Daroche is not a great person like that. “He is so self-conscious that he writes his name on the dock.”
“Is this a guess? Or is there a basis for this?”
“It’s more of a guess, but the other dukes all think that way.”
Deus felt that the story was getting twisted.
“So, I ordered Alex to kill Roche?”
“Yes, my lord.”
” The reason is?”
“I heard that Darosh is plotting something against the dragon and human world using the dwarves, and that it has offended my lord.”
“Why is the story like that?”
“Didn’t your lord get so angry that he even killed Jin Geum-yong?”
“That’s to avenge Daroche
.”
“It may be a superficial reason, but everyone knows that my lord is not the kind of person who would take such a risk for our seven dukes.”
“My image is really good.”
“Then did you really do it for Daroche?”
“Think whatever you want.”
Deus sat down on the sofa again.
Shantrina sat cross-legged on the sofa table and faced Deus.
“My lord.”
“Please tell me the truth.”
“I want to ask. “What was Daroche trying to do?”
“As far as I know, they sold some kind of poison to the monsters so that it could be possessed by humans and dragons.”
“It’s mold.”
“It was probably a fungus.”
“I don’t care about the name, but I think he was trying to control powerful creatures like dragons and giants with that.”
“Daroche is a useful method. In a war 316 centuries ago,
a large army was created using beasts contaminated with mycelium, which devastated the human world. “I guess they were going to use dragons and giants in the war of this century.”
Shatrina looked directly into Deus’ eyes.
“Then why did your lord stop him?”
“I said I didn’t stop it.”
“But in reality, Gluttony Du Roche died after meeting Alex, the Gyougoku. “Alex is currently serving as the master’s personal assistant.”
“Who is your personal assistant? “They’re just stuck to their own devices.”
“The Demon King of this century was taken over by the master whom Alex claimed to be the successor to. It is natural for him to become the leader of our seven dukes and lead the war. But there is no life or death in the archduke’s authority.”
“So why are you questioning me about that? “If you’re unhappy, tell Alex.”
“I’m confused.”
“You’re acting right now.”
“My lord. “What do you mean by that?”
“Aren’t you
just throwing out random words to hide what happened to me?”
“Have you forgotten that it was I who sent the servant to summon the master?”
“Including that.”
“We lack trust in each other.”
Shatrina changed her legs and crossed them.
“Tell me about this shameless woman. “Who will benefit from Darochu’s death?”
“I am human.”
“I guess so. and?”
“I don’t know. That’s why I came here.”
“Are you prying into Alex’s back?”
“yes. “I told you in advance because I don’t think I can fool my lord.”
“Do you think Alex betrayed the demons?”
“It’s not something I can talk about yet.”
Deus, who was looking at her blankly, snorted.
“Play well. “The seven dukes suspect and monitor each other.”
“Because the devil has run away from home.”
“Are we going to close the demon world at this point? “Why don’t you all get rid of the demons and live as enemies among humans somewhere?”
“Is that what you mean, my lord?”
“There is no such grand meaning.”
“My lord.”
“why?”
“Please come back.”
“Where?”
“To the devil’s throne. There is an incomparable difference between being there and not being there with you.”
“Roughly fill the clothes with straw and set them upright.”
“How can you say that? “You are the master of billions of monsters
.”
“I’m not buying the owner’s position. “Please go back.”
“My lord!”
“I’m sick of hearing stories like that from Alex, so feel free to investigate. “Whether you fight or not is none of my business now.”
Immediately after Deus said this, a curious thing occurred to him.
“But is Daroche really dead?”
Shantrina bowed her head.
“His body was identified together by our six dukes.”
“You are not gods, are you?”
“That
made Shantrina look down.
“It’s okay if you don’t know anything. “I’ll go then.”
Shantrina looked at Deus with sad eyes.
“I’ll see you again.”
“You guys are really free.”
When Deus returned, the drinking party had already ended.
“What is the rhythm?”
“I took you to your room.”
“It looks like you’re completely drunk.”
“Haha, a little…”
“I guess I want to become an adult quickly.”
“Me?”
“okay.”
Zeke scratched his head.
“I do not know. “What is an adult?”
“Well, it’s just the age determined by law. “I promised to do that, so I just keep it.”
Deus sat down on the sofa and looked at Zeke.
“Well, it might be a long story that doesn’t mean much to you. “Because they are already doing everything
adults are doing.”
“You mean part-time job?”
“no. A more adult thing.”
“I didn’t do anything that dirty!”
“What are you thinking? Responsibility obligations.” Zeke’s face turned red.
“I’m doing something so grandiose?”
“It would be hard to find anything grander than that. “It’s not easy to carry the burden of things that are not mine.”
“That’s right. “Even my younger sister often gets upset about how many things she wants
.”
“You seem immature.”
“You’re still a child. “It’s not always like that, but since I’m being bullied by my classmates right now, that’s the only thing I can think about.”
“torment?”
“yes. I guess our family is…
“Because we’re famous in Joryx Castle.”
“We have produced F-class warriors from generation to generation.”
“But you’re B-class.”
“There seems to be a lot of talk about it being a coincidence or being bribed. He even
took her as a concubine…
“You?”
“yes.”
“my?”
“yes.”
“Bring me a list of the bastards who said that. “Put it in a mortar and grind it.”
“It’s just an afterthought. “Everyone says it for fun, without any malice.”
“Isn’t it worse?”
“That’s what it means to be human.”
“Because he is human.”
Deus put a pod in the back of his head.
“Zeke.”
“Yes, Deus.”
“Do you know what I’m looking for here now?”
“I only vaguely know. Because he doesn’t tell me clearly when he goes somewhere. But you said it before. “We are dealing with the problem of demons standing between dragons and humans.”
“that’s right. Find out the real reason why the dragon is going crazy. Who is doing such a thing and for what purpose? “Two of them have already come to Zorik’s Castle, right?”
“yes.”
“There may be demons involved… but maybe the heroes are the culprits.”
“A hero?”
“okay. “Heroes. The ones I met before.”
“Something like the Hollifer family and the Holy Cedar family?”
“that’s right.”
Zeke’s expression hardened slightly.
