244. Butterfly Effect (12)
Geisitel hurriedly avoids his body and stretches out his arms as if Hien wants to receive him.
Deon noticed that Hien’s condition was a mess in the moment he fell from the air, clicked his tongue and turned his body to avoid his hand. I landed exactly between the two and raised my head, making eye contact with Geisitel.
…Now, how should I start this conversation?
“It was so noisy that the sound could be heard even inside the Demon King’s Castle…”
Gaisitel is a demon that is overly cautious of those who are higher than it. If you move roughly, you will probably lower your body on your own.
Sure enough, the guy with a pale complexion bowed before frowning even a little.
“How dare someone like me offend Deon! I’m so sorry! Cut off that gardener’s head right here…!”
“her…?”
What kind of thought process is it that he tries to cut off Hien’s head after saying it was his fault…?
I think something similar has happened before, but is it just my mood?
As if the sigh that came out inadvertently due to the absurdity was some kind of signal, Geisitel quickly shut his mouth. Deon could clearly feel the attention being paid to his busy eyes, so he pressed his eyebrows together and opened his mouth.
“Okay, stop making a fuss at this point and go in. As for what I brought you in… I’ll tell you about it separately later.”
I didn’t mention the broken hien and scraping it to make crumbs. Whether you support Hien or not, Geisitel’s anger will be directed at him from the moment he is mentioned.
As expected, Geisitel, who was all focused on Deon Hardt’s discomfort, bowed and retreated in a hurry. Deon looked at the back of the man’s head as it disappeared in an instant, then turned his head to the stinging gaze he felt from the side.
Hien was looking this way with his eyes shining excessively.
“Thank you, Deon…!”
“….”
My body naturally shrinks from the burden. Of course, it didn’t show on the outside.
I pretended not to do so, looked into the distance and answered slowly.
“Not really. I just did it because I didn’t want to make a fuss, so there’s no need to be thankful…”
“But thank you!”
“….”
Well, it would be better to just change the subject.
Hien’s condition doesn’t look good, as if he just happened to be in trouble. He was trying to catch me from falling like this…?
I scanned the wound with complex and subtle eyes and then made eye contact with him. It seems like there’s no need to ask, but it’s better to check first, just in case.
“Do you know why Gaisitel is like that?”
“Well… I saw an incubus on the way and it bothered me…” “
…Oh, okay. That’s enough.”
There is no need to hear any more.
He gestured in the direction of the castle.
“Follow me.”
In a way, his wounds can also be said to have been caused by me bringing in Geisitel. I have to heal the wounds that seem to have been caused by me.
I could have hurt myself right here and called Ben, but if I did that, this guy would have to bear all the repercussions. Then I’ll be even more bothered. Even if it isn’t, it’s a headache in many ways, but what’s even more annoying is the specifications.
Therefore, despite the inconvenience, Deon personally led the way to the room where Ben was staying.
***
My doctor always noticed something wrong and came running to me like the wind before I even had to visit or call him. Because of this, Deon didn’t usually go to Ben’s room, so this visit seems to have been quite a shock from Ben’s point of view.
As soon as they realized that the visitor was Deon Hardt, a violent reaction erupted.
Why did you come here? Are you hurt? Did you fall under a curse that prevents you from being hit by a magic stone? etc.
Only after repeatedly expressing that he was fine and informing others that he had come to ask for treatment did Deon manage to escape Ben’s persistent gaze and touch.
“I… am Deon’s doctor…” ”
….”
“For a gardener like this, it’s enough to go to another doctor in the castle….” ”
….”
“It’s also because there are no other doctors. No, the former devil king’s doctor and the current 0 Corps commander’s doctor is sitting there treating the incubus gardener with the patient in front of him…”
Instead, a lament that was close to a grumble followed.
However, it is fortunate that treatment is being carried out thoroughly with a strong professional spirit.
Meanwhile, Hien, who seemed to be the most uncomfortable, was surprisingly overcome with emotion and was not paying attention to Ben at all, so let’s call this a good thing.
“Master Deon… would give up his personal doctor for someone like me…”
“…”
Well, I don’t think that’s a good thing. Ben’s eyebrows went up.
Yes, they are trying to swallow their complaints and treat me, but if they don’t care about me, I feel bad.
Hien… please pay attention. Why do I, who am not even hurt, have to listen to my doctor?
“…Why won’t the bandage come off like this?! Nothing is working!”
Ben tears off the bandage and wraps it over the medicated wound. Although it might have been painful to put so much force into his hands, Hien kept his gaze fixed on this area without even letting out a common groan.
Deon’s eyes, still shining with emotion, felt very burdensome, so he slightly turned his head.
“…Is the treatment complete if I just wrap it up?”
“Yes, that’s right. By the way, for injuries of this magnitude, it would have been enough to take you to any other general doctor in the castle, so why did you bring it to me?”
Because I don’t know where the other ordinary lawmakers are.
If I answer…, they’ll look at me like I’m dumbfounded. Deon opened his mouth calmly.
“When I think of ‘treatment,’ the only thing that comes to mind is you. It seems like I don’t have a doctor I can trust other than you.”
“…Do you think I will like it just because you say that?”
Then why are you taking out candy…?
“I am grateful that you think well of my skills, but I am Deon’s doctor. I don’t want to miss the most important patient’s injury while looking at other patients.”
“I’m putting candy in my hand right now…” ”
I heard that the Demon King has banned Deon from smoking. He must be bored often.”
“….”
“In that case, you can eat this.”
I opened my hands. I see candy in a familiar wrapper. Deon’s expression became subtle.
This… looks similar to the candy wrapper that crazy dogs used to take away medicine and give it to them instead…? No, it’s not similar, it’s completely the same.
…You bastard…?
“I heard that you are going into battle yourself.”
Before I could even open my mouth about candy, Ben seemed to avert my eyes and changed the direction of the conversation. A quick-witted child.
“You are going to the human world in person.”
“…that’s right.”
“Of course I’m going with you, but are you taking Ed with you?”
Why do you include it as if it’s obvious?
Of course, that’s true because he’s my doctor… but I don’t get hurt much anymore, and even if I do get hurt, I recover quickly. I guess it’s not necessary…
More than anything, I know that a ban on drugs has been issued, but I’m already bothered by the nagging that will follow if I use drugs in front of it.
That’s why I tried to say that I would leave it behind, but he seemed to have read my expression one step ahead and spoke firmly.
“You wouldn’t leave your doctor behind when going to the battlefield. What kind of intelligent being would do something so incredibly frustrating?”
I think I was just trying to call you ignorant.
Anyway, I had nothing to say so I kept my mouth shut for a moment. Since I said that, I definitely have to take Ben with me.
Recognition was quick. Deon expressed his agreement with Ben’s words in a short silence and answered the previous question.
“…I’ll leave Ed behind. I need a demon to lead the 0th Corps in an unexpected situation.”
“Aren’t you taking Legion 0 with you…?”
“This time, instead of the 0th Legion, I’m taking the crazy… Lofty Knights.”
“Ah, that crazy… you mean the human knights.”
“….”
Even if I am like that, why do you have the modifier ‘crazy’ in front of you…?
Deon touched his forehead when he saw even Hien, who was listening with shining eyes next to him, muttering ‘Oh, that crazy…’. What should these bastards do so that they become known as crazy people here too? This is the Demon World. It’s not even the human world.
“Well, it’s good that you’re taking me away. The gardener’s treatment went well.”
“Oh, good job.”
“It was no trouble. I heard there is no lawmaker as trustworthy as me, so of course I have to do it.”
I guess I really liked those words.
“Do you need more candy?”
“…That’s enough. I’ll just go.”
There was no reason to stay here any longer. Deon immediately turned around. Hien, who was watching, followed behind.
“….”
“….”
…I kept following him.
The steps passing through the hallway have already stopped in front of my door. How long are you going to chase me?
Deon turned around instead of opening the door, wondering if he might have followed her into the room. A face full of kindness faced me, as if it had been waiting.
“…Why are you following me?”
“Oh, that’s…”
Hesitation appears on his bright face and his words trail off. The voice continued slowly, as if it would stop.
“You said you were going to war… in the human world yourself.”
“Yes. Why is that?”
“So…”
Hien hesitates, looking at his thoughts. Just as Deon was about to speak again out of frustration, the guy spoke first.
“Can I take a moment to look at the plant I gave you last time?”
“…what?”
“Ah… that was rude as expected. I’m sorry…”
“No, it doesn’t really have anything to do with it… What does me going to war have to do with you taking care of the plants?”
It’s not like they’re taking it back, they’re just looking at it for a while, so there’s no reason to refuse it. I was just a little confused because I didn’t understand the connection between the two.
“I won’t be able to touch Deon very often from now on, so I’d like to give him some nutritional supplements in advance.”
“Ah… okay then. Come in.”
I opened the door.
Dan, who was greeting me in the room, spots Hien coming in behind him and gives him a puzzled look. Deon lightly shrugged his shoulders and called out to the monster with a wave of his hand.
“Come on.”
“Suck!”
Immediately, green stems wrapped around my waist and hung.
Deon took off the flower pot that was clinging to me as if he was used to it and immediately held it out to Hien.
“Now take a look.”
“Uh…”
“…?”
…what? It seemed like Ki Se was going to put nutritional supplements right away.
Hien rolls his eyes and averts his gaze at the puzzled look. A voice that seemed to be crawling came out in the form of a mutter.
“Because I didn’t bring any nutritional supplements.”
“….”
“I was going to ask permission first and bring it…” ”
…Okay then, I’ll wait for you, so bring it.”
“Oh, could I just borrow the plant itself? I’ll just give it some nutritional supplements and return it right away.”
“Yuk?”
The monster cried.
Deon glanced down at the plant.
“…I’m sure it would be better. Take it.”
“Yuck?!”
“thank you.”
“Sweet?!”
The movement was carried out without paying any attention to the strange cries of the strange plant.
Hien, who took over the flower pot, bows and walks away. A pitiful cry was heard, ‘Bwaaaaaeae…!’, but no one paid any attention.
As soon as the door closed and the sound stopped, Deon threw himself on the bed. I have to go to the crazy dogs, but I’m lying limp with my face pressed into the pillow and I don’t want to move.
‘Even if I skip everything else, I still have to tell you to prepare for war…’
It’s annoying. I’m tired.
I just snapped my fingers to keep from falling asleep, then turned my head with difficulty and looked in the direction where the altar was. The face was not visible because it was above the range of vision, but it was enough to confirm that it was there.
“Only. Go to the crazy dogs and tell them to prepare for battle. Don’t forget to take the medicine.”
“yes.”
“And…if possible, find out what accident they had here.”
The body that had been moving to carry out the command suddenly stopped.
“…Do you really need to find out?”
“…Now that I think about it, it might be better to just not know.”
There’s no way they would have gone on such a rampage that they would have caused me harm, and if they had done so much damage, Dan would have reported it long ago.
There is a saying in this world that ignorance is medicine.
Even though he was asked if he really needed to know, Deon felt like his stomach was hurting, so he convinced himself and buried his face in the pillow again.
