190. I’ll rest in the Demon Realm (4)
“Quaaagh! Sal, please save me!!!”
Bartholomeu cried out in agony.
Born in the Demon Realm, he had never experienced such suffering.
In the first place, rather than fighting in the vanguard, they were a demonic tribe that was more like a schemer, rolling their heads and moving their subordinates to do bad things.
The sensation of physical ‘pain’ was not familiar to him.
“Oh! Aww! damn it! Again, again—!”
Bartolomeu pinched my thigh, trying to contain the pain.
But-
“Hohohoho. how is it? can’t you stand it? I don’t like using my heart tail to tickle you, but I’m glad to see you in pain?”
The fluffy hair on Devlani’s heart tail was no easy opponent.
Her hair gave Bartolomeu an extreme ‘itchiness’ he had never experienced before.
Bartholomew lost his senses at the painful sensation he felt for the first time in his life and prayed for fault.
“I won’t do that again. Knock it off! That, stop it!!!”
Allen was apathetic.
He ignored Bartolomeu’s screams and was inspecting the demon cave, which was still under construction.
After getting into debt and paying all the money, I can’t get back to you now.
So, take your anger out on Bartholomew, and monitor the construction to ensure that it is carried out thoroughly.
“Why do you think we are already acting like a huge force? no idea? Are you going to borrow money you can’t even pay back?”
Aren pointed to the sinner’s armpit and said to Devlani.
“Ye cut it, yo cut it.”
“yes!”
“Huh, keaaagh!”
Aren’s tweezers point lecture was really amazing. Wherever I touched it, there was a strong reaction.
The harsh behavior he had personally learned during his military days was now shining through.
Devlarani felt delight at Bartolomeu’s scream and maximized the softness of the heart’s tail.
“Eh. What should I do with you guys?”
Aren glared at Bartolomeu with eyes without the slightest pity.
You can get into debt.
Because it’s enough to pay off somehow.
But there was another reason Aren was so angry.
– How did you plan to pay it back?
-Yes? All you have to do is raid human cities and take all the gold and silver! hot hot!
—… … Get down.
With conversations like this coming and going, Aren couldn’t stay still.
As soon as he became a great demon, the word he emphasized the most was ‘Do not harm humans.’
However, Bartolomeu completely forgot the new rule of the Demon Tribe and made a mistake.
If it was the old Demon Realm, it would not be strange even if the head flew off right away.
“Sorry, sorry… … ! It’s hard to throw away the habits of the demons overnight, so I stopped without realizing it… … !”
“tiring?”
Aren twisted the corner of his mouth.
“Oh, no.”
Bartolomeu belatedly realized that he had made a mistake. Even if you keep your mouth shut, it’s a law to go in the middle.
“Devlani.”
“Yes~”
“An extra hour. harass you to your heart’s content Do it until you run out of breath.”
“Oh. I will do as you command.”
Devlani laughed wickedly and puffed up the hair on her heart’s tail.
The screams of the old demon resonated like an echo in the demon cave.

“Humans always eat dessert after eating. Sweet cakes, drinks, or fruits are usually the main desserts. This is a phenomenon common to most humans, and it is not much different from how demons sometimes bite their lips with their eyes or tongue while eating fresh flesh of humans or animals. I observed this commonality between humans and demons with great interest, and for the past five years, I have investigated and thoroughly summarized the common phenomena between humans and demons. However, biological information about the demons could not be revealed so easily. This is because no demons are friendly to humans, and you must be prepared for death the moment you encounter them. They spent a lot of money and accompanied a good knight or wizard to capture or kidnap demons, but this wasn’t a good method either. Because there were no demons weak enough to be captured by humans. It is for this reason that I am writing this article. Due to an injury he sustained while investigating the demons, he stopped investigating and began to focus on writing the rest of his life… … .”

Krakchar read the introduction to the White Paper on Human Lifestyle with half-closed eyes.
Two hours have already passed just by reading the introductory text and the preface. However, the end was not in sight.
The introductory text alone is so boring that my eyes are closed, but it was hard to imagine how much the main text would be.
The reader is also suffering… … .
“f*ck, I’m going crazy… … .”
Bahanuntu, who had been enchanted with voice amplification and was locked in a small cell with echoes and listened to this for two hours, was truly going crazy.
It would be less painful to pluck out my fingernails and pluck out my eyeballs.
The demons couldn’t do anything because they had burned incense so they couldn’t even sleep.
Blackfire was a torture genius. Even Bahanuntu acknowledged this. That bastard is a demon of terrible torture and a devil of hell!
While he and Kraktsar were suffering from being trapped in the Chamber of Time and Spirit, Aren quietly walked out of the darkness.
“Well… … . coo-”

Kraktsar had gone to the land of dreams before he knew it.
He blocked his nose, so the incense that disturbed his sleep was useless. Thanks to that, even when Aren came, I didn’t notice at all and was trying to get a good night’s sleep.
“This bastard.”
Aren tried to punch Krakchar on the nose, but held back.
It was not easy to suppress violent thoughts and actions, perhaps because he was in the state of a great demon. Still, he displayed superhuman self-control.
“Did you change your mind?”
Aren sat cross-legged in front of the iron cage. It was a wary attitude, like facing a friend in prison.
“A jawless sound.”
Bahanuntu spoke in a blunt tone. Even so, he turned his back as if he didn’t want to talk to Aren.
“Come under me. Let’s open a new era together.”
Of course, Aren’s words were tongue-in-cheek.
There was a fundamental difference between the new era he thought of and the true demonic world that Bahanuntu drew.
Aren was no different from a trickster in the eyes of the demons.
Still, Aren thought this was right.
The shedding of blood between humans and demons in order to resurrect the demon king is just a stupid war of attrition.
In the first place, the reason monsters and demons hate and attack humans is all because of the order of the ‘Demon King’.
There was no reason for the two races to truly fight.
In the far distant past, in a time old enough to be called the beginning, monsters and humans lived in harmony. The setting of the game was like that.
Then, one day, the demon king appeared, and from then on, the history of division and blood began.
Aren, who knew all these settings, considered coexistence to be true peace.
Aren is probably the only one who knows that the two races can coexist. It was Aren who truly ushered in a new era.
“Do you want me to listen to the words of the Great Demon Tribe, which orders to pull out the Demon Tribe’s fangs and sharpen its hands and claws? Stop talking nonsense, go ahead and kill me.”
“Let’s ask one thing.”
Aren said behind his back.
“Why do you hate humans so much?”
“… … !”
Bahanuntu’s eyes widened. It was a completely unexpected question.
I hated him because he was just a human being, and I felt the intent to kill him, but I didn’t know why.
“If you answer my questions correctly, I will kill you or release you as you wish. Think carefully.”
Bajanuntu felt the back of his head tingle. It was a really refreshing shock.
“… … .”
“Come back later.”
Aren stood up and tugged at Krakchar’s ear.

Kraktsar opened his eyes and screamed in pain as his ear lobe was being ripped off.
“Ugh, aaagh!”
“You wanna die? Where are you on duty? Read it standing on your hands. practice.”
“City, implementation… … !”
Aren left, and Krakchar’s reading began again.
It was still noisy and boring. But Bahanuntu’s ears did not hear any of that.
‘The reason I hate humans… … ?’

“Belererere.”
“No, it’s a monster! Run away!”
People started running in confusion.
As usual, while harvesting crops and preparing for the winter, a snake demon broke through the granary and appeared.
Because it was a small town, there were no soldiers to fight against the monsters.
A disgusting six-pronged tongue coiled around the old, sickly elderly.
They had neither the strength nor the weapons to resist.
The snake monster opened its huge mouth and slowly rolled its tongue. It was intended to devour humans all at once.
“Oh, no!!”
“Son! Run away!”
“Kyaaak!”
It was at that moment that tragedy struck.
――!
A sharp trajectory was drawn in the air, and a golden shape swept around the snake monster at an astonishing speed.
… … Tuduk.
The scene that unfolded was truly shocking.
The skin of the snake monster, which looked so large and hard, cracked weakly and began to bleed.
The snake monster was cut into pieces in an instant. The tongue also broke in two and fell to the floor.
“I live!”
People were bewildered, and turned their attention to the golden figure that had killed the monster.
An incredibly pretty, young-looking woman stood there.
“Go, thank you.”
People who got out of their tongues rushed to her and thanked her.
“It’s a lifesaver.”
“John, I would like to know your name… … .”
The woman did not even open her mouth to thank them.
I just wiped off the blood on my sword with a thoughtful face alone.
‘The frequency of appearances of monsters is increasing the further north you go.’
The identity of the woman who saved the villagers was Cain Abella.
It’s been over a week since she set out on a journey to walk the path of a kingdom protector.
At first, I looked for traces of monsters in small cities, and after chasing them, I headed north.
However, the further north you go, the more monsters and the more aggressive they become.
‘It’s not a coincidence.’
Cain noticed something strange and set out to pursue it in earnest.
‘Something… … . It’s happening in the north.’
We must not stop even to protect innocent and powerless people.
If there was a monster’s base or something that moved the monsters, he was thinking of finding and eradicating them.
“Me, warrior?”
The village chief hurriedly brought a small amount of money and something to eat and handed it to Cain.
“Please accept our sincerity. please.”
Cain has a good heart.
She is not strong enough to refuse even when the elderly ask for it.
In the end, Cain accepted 230 gold and two barley bread, which was just a small amount of money for her.
“thank you. But everyone. Leave the town for a while and live in the big city. It’s dangerous to live on the outskirts like this.”
Cain smiled like an angel.
People praised her with their mouths as if they were blessed.
“thank you. Warrior.”
“Thank you, I lived thanks to you.”
The village chief asked again, with a heart of sincere gratitude, risking rudeness.
“I want to repay this favor someday… … . Could you please tell me your name?”
“Your name?”
“Yes.”
Cain pondered for a moment.
The path of a guardian is to break free from the bondage of family.
If she reveals her name and saves people from monsters, she will quickly become famous, and there is a possibility that her intention to protect people innocently will be damaged.
Above all, the name of the kingdom guardian was not important.
The only thing that matters is a good heart to save and protect people.
This is Cain who gave up everything, vowing not to be greedy for any title.
The answer was fixed.
Instead of his name, Cain replied with a fresh smile and then started on the road again.
North, to the deep mountains where the wind blows.

A few more days passed.
The demonic world was not significantly different from the human world.
Eating, sleeping, working, and being stressed out because of everything was the same.
However, if there is a difference from the human world… … .
“Lord of Gaebyeok. Warp gate installation is complete. Now it’s just a short walk from the demon cave to the entrance to the demon realm!”
“Good job.”
“The installation of the bridge in the lava field to the southwest has been completed successfully! I don’t think there will be any stupid monsters who will drown while trying to cross it! haha! Why didn’t I think of this sooner?”
“I mean.”
Here, I was reigning like a king, and the difference was that I had subordinates who took care of things on their own when I told them.
As a result, there was a sense of relatively less fatigue in the body and mind.
It’s partly because my stamina is extremely good when I’m in the state of a hemp tribe, but it’s an obvious fact that I’m more stable psychologically.
It must have played a part in not having anything special to do since it was a vacation.
He promised to take a break at the academy, but the black humor was that the real place to rest properly was in the world of demons.
After adjusting, life here was not too bad.
It was also fun to change their tendencies and dirty and dangerous demon world to look good while working hard to reform the demon realm.
The demons’ aggression removal work was being carried out steadily.
“Give us your opinion on how you plan to finance it.”
The problem is finances.
After all, I was the general manager of these guys, so it was only natural that I was concerned about the finances.
“Should I rip them off rich nobles!?”
Devlani smiled fatally and gently touched the tail of the heart.
“f*ck.”
“It’s too much… … .”
That way doesn’t help at all. If it’s Devlani, there’s a 200% chance that he’ll screw up and get his identity exposed.
“It’s too dangerous. First.”
“Huh… … ! I mean that.”
When Devlani suddenly blushed and stepped back, Bartolomeu stepped forward this time.
“Are you elated? Is there a better way?”
“Haha! sure. Trust me.”
In fact, the financial problem is what he is worried about because of the accident he had. It is right that he bears the responsibility as well.
“Do you know the rumor that there is a keel in the Prelod Mountains in the north of the human kingdom?”
It’s not a rumor, it’s a fact.
The bones of ancient dragons are buried in the mountains of the north, where the bitter wind blows. I’ve seen it a few times in game too.
“I’ve heard of it.”
“I’m airlifting it and selling it!”
“Well?”
Pretty plausible?
It was just a background decoration that couldn’t be interacted with in the game, but this is reality.
If I could actually get the dragon bones, that would be a lot of money.
Besides, the place where the keel is buried is close to a legend, so it must be set here that no one can find it.
‘You know me?’
Bartolomeu seemed to be the first to help.
“Good plan. Worth a try.”
“I-really!?”
“yes.”
“I-I like my plan!?”
“My mouth hurts.”
Bartolomeu knelt down on the spot and shed tears of emotion. Devlani turned on his double wick and let him go.
“Bul, blackfire niim!”
At the end of the meeting, Krakchar came running from afar.
He is still the one who should be standing on his head and harassing Bahanuntu.
“… … What’s going on?”
However, when he saw them running so hurriedly, it seemed that Bahanuntu’s state of mind had changed.
“Ba, Bahanuntu says he has something to say!”
Also.
Things are going smoothly.
Maybe 1 Luck doesn’t work in the Pandemonium.
In fact, I might be the kind of person who would be suited to living in the Demon Realm.
“Take it.”
