59. Fighting with an angel again ⑴
“Just practice seeing it as a matter more.”
“It’s still like that. This is useful in many ways. “These days, you can taste it with your eyes.”
“..why?”
“Well, you can’t taste them all. The senses of the eye are truly incredibly sharp. “You can see the number of grains of salt at a glance, and
you can also see the various volatile gases it emits, so you can even remember the rough taste.”
“Where are I using my eyes?”
“I heard you can’t turn it back with magic anyway. “It’s mine now.”
“I should have sold it for money.”
Signi, who was passing by carrying a tray, chimed in.
“You took my soul.”
“What are you doing with that? “It’s not something you can decorate your home with.”
Signi tilted his head as he looked at Deus.
“Wasn’t it necessary? Since ancient times, demons have been granting human wishes in exchange for taking their souls.”
“That’s an old story. “I’d rather keep them alive and use them as servants, so what can I do with their souls after they die?”
“It’s surprising. “I made great determination and sacrificed my soul.”
A voice was heard from the table over there.
“Take your order here.”
“yes!”
SIGNI ran at a brisk pace and Deus sighed again.
“Oh, I’m bored. “Are you going to manipulate the lord here
and start a war in the next country?”
“I don’t have anything to say.”
“Then you must have stopped it, right?”
“Yes.”
“You’re not going to risk your life to stop me. “Don’t you think it might be a little fun?”
“Don’t you think the setting is so contrived that you won’t be able to express your emotions?”
“Is that so?”
” yes.”
“Then would you rather argue with the angels? “Because I fought Kamael, I will defeat the twelve archangels one by one.”
“It looks like you want to get some title.”
“So, the owner of the crown is still Metatron?”
“That’s how I learned it.”
“Lucifer has changed. He was the master of the underworld…
“Maybe he went to the demon world and did that?”
“Well, it would be strange if he were a devil but remained an angel. So where are the angels now?”
“Are you really going to fight?”
« o ”
“Why don’t you ask Mr. Scatul?”
“Will you teach me? “I heard you got into trouble because you were with me when I was fighting with Kamael.”
Zeke burst out laughing.
“You must feel unfair. “I was taken away by Deus.”
“I didn’t drag you away. “I followed because I wanted to take a look.”
“Of course I have to go see the Demon King vs. Archangel.”
“I had a good idea. “Why don’t you try hanging out with Kamael?”
“I refuse.”
“No, don’t cut it all at once like that. “Kamael, that woman pretends to be solemn and says she’s the lord of divine power or that she’s protecting the Angel of Destruction, but fundamentally, she likes fighting.”
“It would be Deus-sama who would call the archangel this woman and that woman.”
“But you don’t say she’s a damn woman, do you?”
“Haha, that’s what I called Yulgeum at first.”
“Because they brought me a job that didn’t make any sense and
made me do it.”
A few orders came in and Zeke concentrated on cooking for a moment.
Meanwhile, Deus looked bored again.
At that time, a man came up to where Zeke was standing and spoke loudly.
“It really is you, Zeke!”
what? Deus looked at him with these eyes.
A young warrior was there.
Zeke looked at him with a bright expression.
“long time no see. “What brings you here?”
When Deus saw Zeke, Zeke introduced him to Deus.
“Kathran Van Hollygum. “I am a warrior from Isolta.”
What about Deus? I passed it off as a moderate response.
However, it seemed that this moment was not light for Katran. I even shed tears.
“After the war ended, I traveled around the world to meet Zeke. I…
Deus suddenly intervened.
“What are you, a follower of Zeke?”
“yes! “I respect you Zeke from the bottom of my heart.”
“There are a lot of kids like that.”
” yes?”
“Don’t yell in someone else’s business, just sit next to them and order something. The customer is king. “Others will tremble.”
“Oh yeah!”
After Katrun sat down, a moment later, Signi put down the cup of water she had poured.
The moment he saw her, Katran was startled. It seemed like he recognized who it was.
“Signi!”
“Except you. “Because he’s not that great of a person.”
“How… or why are you two doing something like a food stall here?”
When Katrun asked in confusion, Signy smiled and answered.
“I was hired by Deus.”
“Deus-sama… Who on earth is he?”
“Who owns this store? So what are you going to eat?”
“Yes, yes… in moderation…
Deus placed the spell instead.
“Let’s take the most expensive one.”
“Where is that? Today, the menu is unified with stir-fried jjamppong. “I was out of the store for a few days and we ran out of ingredients.”
Katrun tilted his head and looked at Deus.
Why on earth is Zeke pretending to be a chef here? And who is that person to manipulate Zeke like this?
At that moment, something suddenly occurred to me.
“No way! Ma… Ma…”
Katran covered her mouth with her hand.
It was clear when I saw Zeke smiling bitterly.
This is the Demon King Demiurge, 666 years old!
Deus’s stall had a break after lunch.
“I mean…
Zeke said as he wiped the plate with a dry towel.
“that’s right. “It’s just as you think.”
“How is that possible? “Have you forgotten
why Zeke was fired ?”
“Yeah… But why did you become Zeke? “Just call me comfortably.”
During the break, the only people in the stall were Zeke and Katran.
“Mr. Zeke, what on earth happened during this time? Why are you with him again?
“If you ask me why, it’s because I swore a long time ago. “I will live for Him.”
“But isn’t he the ‘Devil King’?”
Katran lowered her voice to a whisper.
“I’m done with it now.”
” yes?”
“That happens. “Right now, Deus is fighting a giant.”
“If you’re talking about giants, you mean the ones that suddenly turned strange?”
“huh. I think it will be easier to understand if you explain it this way. Those giants have taken over the demon world. From Deus-sama’s point of view, it’s like losing my country… They say the enemy of my enemy is on the same side. “I’m currently aiming for a giant.”
Katrun clenched his fist and slammed his palm down.
“indeed! Now I understand. Even though they are enemies, they joined hands to deal with a powerful enemy called a giant .
But… between the giant and the two, I feel like the ‘Demon King’ is more dangerous.”
“If Deus becomes an enemy of humanity, I will stop him even if it means risking my life.”
“I don’t know what it is.”
“Just assume there is such a thing. What’s going on with you, Katran? “You came looking for me.”
“That is… I would like to have Mr. Zeke as my teacher.”
“teacher?”
“yes! Mr. Zeke is better than any warrior I have ever seen.”
Katran’s eyes sparkled with powerful will.
I felt like if I tried to talk about whether I would accept it or not, it would end up in a pathetic argument.
“Sir, would you like to join us? This thing. Should I call them colleagues?”
“You mean Zeke’s colleague! Of course it’s good. It is an honour!”
“Don’t expect too much. And don’t even call me you.”
“How could you not be excited? This place is disguised as a street vendor, but it’s actually an army fighting a giant! Does the portal on top of that rocky mountain lead to the battlefield where the army of giants is being fought?”
“The war hasn’t started yet. “I’m a little short on strength, so I’m waiting.”
“If Zeke isn’t good enough, he also has quite a few enemies.”
At that moment, Zeke felt the ring on his right hand start to rattle and placed his hand on it.
The ring
was given long ago by Teryan, the owner of the Helios Legion, as a token of friendship.
After fiddling with the ring for a while, he opened his mouth heavily.
“He… is a real devil.”
After talking about what was to come, Katran changed the topic of conversation.
He told Zeke about Regin’s work.
Zeke expressed his gratitude, and Katran smiled sheepishly and said he was lucky.
After the conversation was over for a while, Deus joined in again.
“What, you haven’t gone yet?”
“I decided to become Zeke’s colleague.”
“Oh, you want to get a job here? My monthly salary is one silver coin. “I’ll see you later and if you do well, I’ll give you two silver coins.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Why do I do this?”
“then? Are you still receiving pocket money from your parents?”
“The money…”
“Is this the money you earned? “No.”
“I received a stipend during the last crusade.”
“Surely you ate that money? You participated as a representative of the inquiry. Then I have to return it home.”
“Of course I gave it to the family.”
“and? What kind of money are you traveling with? How many months have you been wandering around? I wouldn’t have lived in the open and hunted to make a living. “You couldn’t have stayed in a luxury hotel and bought everything at the restaurant, right?”
“Uh..
“Hey, look at this guy. This is why children from rich families can’t do it.
“The fact that I have never earned even a penny on my own makes me think of the value of labor as pawns.”
“Who is ignoring the value of labor?”
“You said you were going to live off the money your parents gave you?”
“no!”
“You say you respect Zeke, but he looks funny wearing an apron like that when he cooks.”
“Didn’t you say no?”
“Then sign here. “You have to prove that you can make a living by working.”
“I will make you regret those words.”
Katran calmly signed the employment contract.
“Okay, okay. Add one extra chore.”
” yes?”
“Learn well from Zeke. “ Don’t bother me
.”
Katran couldn’t shake the feeling that he had been scammed.
No matter what, he was a warrior. Thanks to her superior physical ability, Katran learned the job quickly.
Swordsmanship basically
required a high degree of concentration.
At least there weren’t many people breaking dishes while washing them.
Katran, who had been washing dishes and cleaning the surrounding area for a while, sighed and straightened her back, wondering why I was doing this.
Then I saw Zeke.
They were using vegetables such as cabbage and onions for the evening meal.
It seemed like no one would believe it.
He, the strongest of all humans in the world, is the cook of this small stall.
Of course, it was already a mess since the boss was the devil.
But the surprise didn’t end there.
As the evening business began, a person came to visit.
As soon as I arrived, I saw that he was a store employee wearing a black head towel and wiping down the table.
The problem was his identity.
“Scatiel!”
Katrun shouted in surprise.
“Do you know me?”
“I saw you in the Crusades.”
“Now it’s Skatool.”
“Yes, I know.”
While following Regin, Katrun accidentally discovered Skathul’s identity.
In addition, some of the highest-ranking warriors heard that Scatul was an angel through the long war.
It was an open secret that Regin had personally infiltrated the Demon King’s castle under his orders.
