222. warrior party (1)
“Now, are you crazy? Or are you finally revealing that evil true color!?”
Odelia pointed her dagger at Aren and threatened.
What Aren said was so absurd.
“Princess. Think carefully.”
Aren sat down in search of a comfortable place whether or not the dagger thrust into his side.
He said in a voice mixed with a languid sigh.
“The capital has already been encroached upon by a demon once. Can you be sure that the evil seed has been completely removed?”
“… … Seeds of Evil?”
“That’s right. As you can see, their brainwashing magic is enough to target the entire castle. What about the key figures, the royal family?”
Aren pushed Odelia’s eyes.
The only way to shake Odelia is to use her ‘ambition’.
Odelia is a person who usually prefers the right way, but twists the way when necessary.
If that is the way to claim the throne, Odelia will gladly step forward. Aren persuaded her with conviction.
“You may still be being manipulated at this moment.”
“Ha, but.”
Odelia shaking. Genen, who had been aiming at Aren before he knew it, fell below his knee.
Aren stabbed right where there was a slight gap.
“Princess. If not on this occasion, when will you sit on the throne? The line of succession to the throne is also far behind, isn’t it?”
“… … Watch your mouth!”
Odelia hurriedly covered Aren’s mouth and looked around.
“Hey, do you really want to die! If anyone heard it, it would be a warning.”
Odelia whispered softly. The gold eyes were shining brighter than ever.
Aren saw. Even in the eyes of a sage, her ambition is revealed.
“No one. and… … .”
Aren took a step closer to her and whispered in her ear.
“Right now, the princess isn’t making any problems.”
“… … !”
Odelia was startled and shoved Aren in the chest.
His breathing must have been quickened, and his platinum hair flowed down whenever his shoulders moved.
“Hey, look. this is not this, this… … It’s not right.”
Aren continued to push. Because I knew very well that Odelia’s denial was a strong affirmation.
“The only person who can save the kingdom is the princess.”
It was a sweet temptation.
“You know very well that no one in the Braveheart royal family is normal.”
Honey flowed from his tongue, and his voice sounded like a devil’s whisper. At this moment, Aren truly looked like a great demon.
The appearance of using and corrupting the human mind.
But Aren didn’t hesitate at all. Because this was the right belief he thought.
“That’s right, half a year. If you run a kingdom in crisis for half a year and defeat the demon king… … . I will spare my words.”
Aren smiled and shook his head.
“I will take all responsibility.”
Truly, it was an insidious and dangerous plan worthy of a demon worshiper. The way he spit it out casually matched Blackfire’s past notoriety.
“… … .”
Odelia no longer subtracted from negation. His trembling hands calmed down more than ever before, and even his strong will stood out in his eyes.
Even the troubles have already ended. All that remains now is the decision.
“It is for a cause. It’s not a reverse mother. Just keep that in mind.”
After that, Aren left the princess’s bedroom.
“… … What a devilish man you are.”
Odelia said while looking at Aren who had disappeared like a bat.
“no. the devil is right It is also very evil.”
For some reason, Aren liked Odelia.
* * *
“Aren. If nothing else, can we stay away from that strange succubus? I hate him!”
It’s already been 3 hours.
Siana was sitting in the seat in front of me, slicing up pitza and complaining, not complaining.
It has been a long time since I came to the Warriors Pitzza store with Siana in a sky blue dress.
Ordinary daily life has now become a situation that is difficult to experience easily.
It was natural since the demon king was resurrected.
We spent the past week digesting the backlog of school work.
It was a peaceful and normal daily life that made the terrible moment when the demon king was resurrected and the world almost perished was overshadowed. It felt as if it was all just a dream.
The resurrection of the demon king followed Odelia’s decision and decided to keep it top secret.
It was a decision made because it was wiser to deal with it quietly than to cause social chaos by announcing the fact that the demon king had been resurrected. I also agreed
Odelia, who ascended the throne, quickly began to reorganize the kingdom’s army, befitting the owner of the ‘iron-blooded lord’ and ‘war mania’ characteristics. To prepare for the upcoming war.
Around the time when Odelia was frantic, I also had a lot of things to do.
The demon king has been resurrected, and all the three gods have gathered… … .
This is because we have to prepare for the final chapter, Act 6.
In terms of timing, there was still a bit of room to spare since the fifth act wasn’t even over yet, but there’s nothing to lose by preparing in advance.
Preparing for the 6th act begins with the summoning of all the members of ‘Crusaders’.
The so-called ‘Hero Party’ will be formed around Ackerman by gathering the members together. Just like the moment when the great hero of the past gathered a party to subdue the demon king.
However, it was not easy for the ‘Crusaders’ to gather at once because they had to deal with schoolwork that had been delayed due to the festival period, and because the schedules of each person did not match.
So, I decided to meet Bell first this evening.
After the death of the pope, Bell was busy with church affairs, so even this was barely timed.
and… … come back siana
On my way out of an advanced class on mana management, Siana was waiting for me dressed up beautifully.
It’s only natural that the boys’ attention is focused on the pretty girl, and now it seems that the two of us are dating.
Glances, but not too surprised? Sometimes I hear the words ‘what happened to Cain Abella, then?’
“Aren! Aren! Are you listening to me!?”
“Ah, yes.”
Ciana pressed the spaghetti tightly onto a fork and swallowed it in her mouth. The bright eyes were bright, but it was a face that was excited anyway.
Even if the world perishes soon, it’s good to eat pitzza and appreciate my face, right? In any case, it was an attitude typical of Shiana.
“That friend is a subordinate that I have to be responsible for anyway… … . You can’t drop it like that.”
“Aren. That demon is strange! What are you doing to Aren?! Haven’t you ever been like that?”
“yes? What are you doing?”
“Huh? Ugh, um. that is… … .”
Shiana suddenly blushed and quickly put her head on the plate. The last piece of pitzza disappeared just like that.
“Ah, whatever! Because I don’t like it. Be careful Arendu. Okay!? Because you are a subordinate! Keep the line!”
“I get it, I get it.”
I smiled at Cyana, who was cute when she tackled Devlani. When I saw it, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“By the way… … Are you really okay? His Highness the King.”
Ciana, who drank the green grape ade, changed the subject. It was about the Braveheart royal family.
“What… … It’s the medicine you made, Siana, so it won’t be a problem?”
“Well. It is, but It’s just a little pricked by my conscience.”
Shiana pokes her chest and laughs awkwardly.
Yes. The reason why Odelia, who had no right to inherit the throne, was suddenly able to ascend the throne as a temporary queen because of the sleeping pills Cyana had made.
At my request, Sianna made a potion to fall asleep for about half a year, and I delivered it to Odelia.
While slightly touching her ‘ambition’.
Originally, it was an affair for Odelia to become king.
Since things got messed up and ruined, all you have to do is make him act as a king by proxy for about six months after everything is over.
Even if it was treason, I had my own reasons.
Odelia, who had great ambition, couldn’t refuse my offer.
-It’s only been half a year.
Thus, Odelia was temporarily in charge of running state affairs.
[Story damage rate 87%]
Thanks to that, the story damage rate has also recovered slightly.
From what I’ve heard, she’s definitely a good fit for the throne. In the end, it was a very good decision.
The problem is that Shiana keeps feeling remorse… … .
“Siana.”
“Yes.”
“Think of it this way. The demon king has been resurrected, and few people know about it and few people can stop it.”
“Yes.”
“It means that a little crime is unavoidable for the sake of something big.”
I placed my hands on both of Sianna’s shoulders and continued talking while looking into her eyes.
“Now is a really important time. know?”
“You know… … .”
“Do you believe me?”
“Aren believes… … .”
“You believe?”
thud.
Shiana suddenly hit her head on the table.
“Why, why?”
“Haaa!”
And then she burst into tears!
“Chi, what’s wrong with Shiana?!”
Confused, I went over to Siana and sat down. Why is he suddenly crying? I broke out in a cold sweat.
“Why do I believe Aren’s words unconditionally? I think I should just say no, but when I look at Aren, the words come out. uhhhh.”
“uh… … .”
Should I just laugh at this?
it’s blind love
This is so precious.
I laughed at cute Sianna’s complaint and stroked her hair.
“Sniff.”
Shiana blew her nose and lifted her head.
“Put more.”
“Come to work.”
Shiana got up from her seat after receiving my comments like that for about 5 minutes.
“Charging complete! Then I’ll go get my license and prepare for the final exam! see ya! Aren!”
A demon king is a demon king, and a test is a test.
Siana also has a dream.
We will all be normal for the time being. slowly preparing for the end.
* * *
If Cianna is fitza, Belle’s favorite food is apple pie.
―Belle: I want to eat pie. I’ll wait for you at the house we used to go often.
Sure enough, as the appointment time approached, Bell sent me a text like that. It’s not easy to go to the pie shop alone, so she fulfills her selfishness while meeting me.
The pie shop arrived like that.
“What kind of wig did he wear this time… … ?”
The classic Gummer Bell?
Belle the pretty blonde?
A white-haired Belle like snowflakes?
… … These were all false predictions.
“Seniors. Are you here?”
Bell waving at me with a bewitching smile was the original itself.
Light Purple Bell Irushi.
She did not wear a wig and greeted me in casual clothes.
My brain stopped for a bit. Can I do that? The first thing that crossed my mind was, but soon I realized that the pope had died.
In other words, there was no monitoring, and there was no reason to hide when meeting me.
“Candidate Saint.”
“long time no see. senior.”
The corners of Bell’s mouth were slightly raised like those of a fox. Is it because the pope is gone? Her expression was lighter and more benevolent than ever.
It was so beautiful that I wondered if I could do this, and I was even a little nervous.
“Um, yes. Did the candidate saint get along well too? Have you been okay?”
I already had a rough grasp of the basic regards and the situation so far with the contact beads. But it was nice to see you face to face like this.
Anyway, Belle was now one of the people I treasured the most. It would be a blatant lie if I said I wasn’t happy.
“I missed you.”
“Yes, me too… … yes?”
I looked up and saw Bell. I wondered if I had heard it wrong. But Bell was talking with my eyes fixed on him.
“I was worried.”
A warm hand wrapped around the back of my hand.
“Musa, I’m glad I did…” … .”
A tear fell down Bell’s left cheek.
“No, there… … .”
It’s a bit embarrassing.
Thank you for worrying about me, but did you worry about me to the point of shedding tears?
I even knew that I had safely acquired the Samshingi at church, but was there some reason why I couldn’t tell you?
“Candidate Saint. Did something happen at church?”
“no.”
Bell immediately dismissed my concerns. Instead, he called my name with a neat appearance.
“Sir Aren.”
“yes.”
“Next time, please let me be by your side.”
Bell must have heard the rough news. The Demon King was resurrected, and something dangerous happened in the process.
What she’s talking about now is probably about that. Bell’s warm heart was conveyed. My heart was so warm that I couldn’t open my mouth.
Siana, Cain, Bell… … .
These three are really to me,
“All right.”
has become a valuable entity.
I had no choice but to answer like that. Bell smiled like a saint.
The pie came out. While Belle ate the pie and continued small talk, I prepared myself to tell her the confession I had made to Sianna and Cain.
“Candidate Saint.”
“yes?”
“I have a confession to make.”
Bell’s eyes widened.
“Go, is it white?”
“Yes.”
“Suddenly… … ? I-I’m good, but… … . no, was it me? Others… … . Well, my beauty is so… … . But I’m a saintess candidate… … .”
“Yes?”
The pints feel different. very big too.
* * *
Revealing my identity to Bell was a huge defeat.
no, i was stupid
“Ahh!”
As soon as I transformed into a great demon, a white torch wrapped around her body and attacked me.
There was no automatic defense system of any kind.
The holy fire was summoned immediately when the demonic energy was felt close by. Thanks to that, I almost quit my job because I was in a tortilla.
“Gwa, are you okay!?”
Bell freaked out and supported me. I became a real customer who made all the noise on the second floor of an empty pie shop.
“Ah yes.”
Why did Bell look like this? My aristocratic and luxurious image that I had built up so far was shattered.
‘under.’
I felt like I wanted to hide in a rat hole. It was because it was too loose even in front of the bell.
Moreover, I didn’t know that Bell’s divine power would be this powerful.
Proof that Bell has grown this much… … In the end, it wouldn’t be bad. The Pope’s presence seems to have acted as a deterrent to her.
‘Did the Nastal oath have an effect?’
Since it is an artifact that possesses enormous magical power just by being exposed, it was not wrong in theory.
“ha… … .”
After a short fuss, I awkwardly faced Bell.
Belle, too, was startled and taken aback just now, but this time she was surprised in a different way.
“big… … You’re a demon.”
It won’t feel right.
Nothing else, in front of the person who will become a ‘saint’, ‘I’m a great demon.’ I’m confessing.
It was no different than going to the police station and confessing to being a thief. But the problem is that the thief can’t be caught.
“haha… … .”
Bell laughed as if it were absurd.
Until the next pope is selected, Bell is the head of the Church of Light.
What should a person in such a position do with a person who is a great demon in front of him?
I’m not sure either.
But I persevered and continued.
About future plans, why I had no choice but to hide my identity, etc.
“… … It’s funny to say things like this in front of a candidate saint.”
I’m really sorry about that. It will be really difficult.
The way she chewed her lips and avoided my gaze proved him.
Unlike Sianna and Cain, she is in the position of a saint. It was impossible for such a person to just leave the giant demon tribe in front of him.
If you skip over this issue simply because you have a crush or interest in it, the foundation of the church will collapse.
Above all, just as she saw the torch surrounding her, Bell now has the blessing of the God of Light on her back.
If you pretend not to know me here, you never know what will happen.
I was expecting
When I confessed to Bell, that there could be side effects.
However, sticking with Bell was essential to joining Ackerman’s party.
I needed the reassurance that there would be no problem even if I stuck with Bell.
Her eyes were also shaking as if she recognized it. It was a time when a decision was needed.
“Senior Aren.”
Bell bit her lip and cut me off.
“… … Yes.”
“Wait.”
Then he puts his hand on my forehead. It was a touch that seemed to tremble slightly, but felt warm.
Bell placed her hand on my forehead and continued to pray.
“God of Light… … .”
“This person in front of me, this demon… … If you are an existence that goes against the will of God, please bring about the sanctification.”
uh? suddenly?
Bell’s decision was really hot. I closed my eyes and waited for the decision of the author to be the god of light.
