100 – Permanent Death (4)
After the welcome ceremony, when I regained my free time for a while, I suddenly had a question.
“You’re not coming all the way to the Devil’s Castle to find me.”
It is a curiosity about the warrior party that still remains on the border.
I really won’t.
All of them have to be transcendental level before they can come to the castle of demons. With the current power, it was tantamount to suicide.
What should we do when the warrior party is not at a level that can handle many high-ranking demons and high-ranking demons?
It was better to stay still.
Rather than a catastrophe of being taken hostage by accident.
I am seated in one of the countless rooms inside the demon castle.
In any case, it was as if she had been kidnapped.
While doing so, he looked at the girl who had been bedridden with the mischievous opponent.
that was vero
“I’m sorry. Hiccup, I only drank one drink.”
According to her insistence, she intends to assist me diligently, but she was swept away by the atmosphere and only drank one drink, and explained that the drink was really strong.
That’s why it stretched like this.
But why are you explaining that?
“I’m at a party and I’m going to have a drink.”
“I-Really? With what qualifications am I…”
“Are qualifications important?”
I honestly don’t know.
Here, the executive in charge of the top floor and the mere maid, Verogan, were both the same opponent to me.
On top of that, Vero had a face that was moved by something.
“Is that so?”
I nodded, and I also sat down.
Even though I was tied to the castle, I had to stay here for a while until I came up with an escape plan.
You should spend a fair amount of time
In the meantime, I will do what I can in the Devil’s Castle.
**
Without saying anything, the demon king gave me a large space where only executives could stay.
I didn’t even get an executive position, but it just means that I’m going to be treated as an executive.
It didn’t matter.
Before I leave, I will think that I can enjoy the power of a cadre without any obligation.
Use your position as an executive to secure a route to escape.
It is to prepare for the future by installing black magic tricks in between.
If the trick explodes at a set time, it will be of great help when I escape with great power.
In the meantime, an incident occurred.
Vero is treated as an ordinary maid by me.
Of course, considering the relationship so far, I thought about giving it a special position, but she felt burdened by that kind of treatment, so I just used it normally.
Then one day, Vero was seriously injured.
Looks like someone got attacked.
I asked, looking at her wrapped in bandages.
“Why are you hurt?”
“A little to say.”
“Tell me, there is no need to be embarrassed.”
Then Vero hesitated and spoke.
Since I killed all the demons, it seems that the relationship between Vero and the demons has deteriorated a lot.
Until now, I hadn’t touched her in particular considering my relationship with the executive officer, but the demons assumed that since I didn’t take care of Vero that much, it wasn’t a special relationship, so they attacked.
I laughed out loud.
I didn’t take care of it because it was burdensome, but I never thought things would come back like this.
Of course, it’s not like I care too much about Vero.
Because it’s just a Mine Maid.
However, the relationship so far cannot be ignored.
“Who are they?”
“It’s okay. It’s something I have to deal with.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me. I have the power to find out everything.”
I didn’t feel much of it because I hadn’t used the position of an executive until now, but the moment I tried to find the main culprit of the ambush on Vero, all the officials of the Devil’s Castle would move.
Even if Vero didn’t say anything, it didn’t matter too much.
I just said stroking her injured head.
“I’m not ignoring you.”
“Yes, but I deserve it.’
“It may not be what you think it is.”
Even if she is nothing but a demon.
I had to cherish each and every one of these relationships.
For a long time, I didn’t take care of anything called fate,
It was right to cherish it even now.
“But I am not.”
“yes.”
Vero nodded with a red face.
…Why?
Anyway, I only gave a few instructions to the high-ranking demons that the demon king had assigned.
The demons bowed their heads and moved as I told them to, and immediately searched out the demons who attacked Vero.
[I got them all. Would you like to see for yourself?]
“…You don’t even have to look. Kill them all.”
answered so simply.
Needless to say, the higher level demons must have killed all the demons according to my instructions.
Later, Vero, who returned, was given the position of secretary.
The secretary of an executive can be seen as a very important position.
No one could touch her carelessly.
The maids who had worked as colleagues until recently had to bow their heads at her, and the high-ranking demons who assisted me had to show a docile appearance in front of her.
“Am I really okay?”
Vero seems to feel sick to his stomach from the burden, saying that it is too much, but it is just an empty position anyway.
It’s a secretarial job given by someone who will leave soon.
The moment I run away from the demon castle, it just becomes nothing but foam.
“It’s a meaningless position anyway.”
“It’s full of meaning! It’s a position that everyone in the castle wants. There are also high-ranking demons who are working hard to get this position, so I can’t accept it. I shouldn’t accept it either.”
Vero desperately refused.
From her point of view, it seems that she blindly thought that it was a position that she could not handle with her bowl.
But I shook my head.
“Again, meaningless.”
“…if it’s just chores, I’ll accept it.”
“No, it’s not a chore, it’s a position to assist me. That important position you think is right. But the reason I say it doesn’t mean anything.”
After thinking for a while, he says
Anyway, she got too caught up in me.
There is no guarantee that Vero will be safe if left here.
Even if it’s just the demons I killed a lot of right now, the same goes for the demon king who wants to catch me.
“Because I’m leaving soon.”
Vero’s eyes widen.
“Well, are you going to travel far away?”
“No. I really have to abandon my executive position and leave the Demon Castle.”
“So, the secretary job is meaningless…”
Vero, who was hesitant, looked straight at me and said.
“Then I hope you will take me with you when you leave.”
“Why?”
Originally, I was going to propose to her, but unexpectedly, Vero asked me first.
When I heard the reason, it seemed that her head was spinning faster than I thought.
“If Argal-nim leaves, I’ll be really dangerous. A lot of demons died because of me, and I could buy the Demon King’s wrath.”
“…I know you well.”
“Then, please take me. The secretarial position is not important.”
I was troubled for a while.
I can see why she makes this request.
But something is missing in the middle.
“Aren’t you resentful of me?”
“Why should I have a grudge?”
“If you left it as normal, you wouldn’t be attacked, and there wouldn’t be any reason to leave the Demon Castle.”
Vero gave a small smile.
“To serve an executive is to have to deal with a natural disaster that you cannot handle. Just being by your side will give you unlimited power, but the responsibility you have to bear is also great.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Especially, as executives are inviolable and inviolable, if an executive commits a major accident, there are many cases where the assistants next to him have to handle it.”
He nodded.
The attack on Bero this time was a similar case.
“When I heard that I was an executive, I felt this kind of fate. I don’t think there is any reason to resent it.”
That’s why I seemed to know why I was so burdened by the word that I was a candidate for executive.
Vero was a girl who wanted to live a shallow and thin life more than anyone else.
But the moment you get involved with an executive, you know you can’t possibly do that.
“If you are, I will.”
“thank you!”
As much as I originally intended to use her as my family’s maid, it didn’t matter if things turned out this way.
Besides, it seems that my head is moving around better than I thought.
She was delighted, and will hold strong power with the position of secretary in the future.
And some more time passed.
The result of the artifact created by the Cyclops has finally come out.
[The Cyclops told you to come.]
“I’m going.”
A high-ranking demon told me so, and I looked at Bero who was beside me.
“Tta… should I go?”
“My secretary should assist me.”
Now that I think about it again, I don’t think I showed that way because I was smart, but maybe I was just cowardly.
“Hee, hee hee.”
“I came here once before, what are you afraid of?”
“Still, going to that notorious Cyclos-sama itself…”
Anyway, I arrived at the smithy where the Cyclops are staying with Vero, who was brought by me by force.
He placed a single object on the anvil with a thick beard covering his face, unable to tell whether it was still white or white as heaps of ashes.
It looked like a cold weapon made with great effort, but what was actually placed on the anvil was a white glove.
“…Do blacksmiths make gloves these days?”
“You came just fine.”
He smiled broadly.
He took out the glove and handed it to me.
“Because this is the moment when the greatest masterpiece of my life was born.”
