129 – The Truth Game
“…”
I was way over the limit. Have I lost my self-control? His eyes kept turning to the demon king.
The chilly atmosphere suddenly heats up at her proposal to play the game of truth.
“The truth game? Demon King! That’s a great idea!”
“This is Yasu! The truth game is so desirable, isn’t it?”
Dorothy works her magic and she relieves her drunkenness a bit, which is on the verge of overflowing. She wasn’t the type to lose her magic power severely just because she drank like a demon lord.
“Dongha… Are you going to do it too?”
Everyone looked at me.
…
In my mind, I want to dismiss it. However, it is a game proposed by the demon king, whose laughter disappeared a while ago. I couldn’t even refuse this.
“… Ok. Let’s do it. Sole plate only”
“Twenty editions.”
…
It was the devil’s words.
“No matter how much I am, I cannot yield any more.”
“Yes, twenty edition.”
Everyone except me smiled brightly.
*
The rules of the game are the same as the ones played with the demon king a long time ago.
1. Turn the bottle twice by hand.
2. When the bottle stops spinning, the person at the point the mouthpiece points to asks a question.
3. After the person answering the questions, pass the bottle to the next round.
Terrible things happen when you lie.
If I can’t answer, I drink.
…
“… It’s a game of luck, is it okay?”
I asked the demon king.
“Yes. I’ll leave it to you.”
The demon king didn’t say anything else.
– Whirly Ririk!
First game. Yuria turned the bottle. A purple wine bottle is busy on a wooden table.
– Boom
Rebecca won. Everyone’s attention was on her. She opens her mouth with her serious face.
“Dorothy, are you the one who squeezed the toothpaste on my armor a week ago?”
…
Silence enveloped the beach. The impression of Geumdong, who had been laughing brightly, becomes grim.
“Whoa… Hey. Nine… Are you not managing your party members properly? Is that the right question now?”
As Geumdong glanced at him, Nine scratched his head as if he had no face.
“I’m sorry. Gilt bronze. Rebecca… Now is not the time to ask questions like that.”
“Has your intelligence been destroyed? To throw away a precious game like that. When you wake up, you will find an arrow stuck in your chest.”
“Ehh, yes. I made toothpaste. Are you done now?”
Rebecca cried and flapped her armor, complaining of the smell of her bamboo salt.
-Hwiririk
– Boom
The second game.
The wine bottle Dorothy turned around stopped in front of Yuria this time.
“Whoops, the question is like this. Take a good look.”
“Show me Yuria!”
“Dongha I have someone I like here.”
…
“Uh. There is.”
The question was too easy.
The others who were watching with excitement slapped their palms. And they surround YuRia and begin to crave it.
“Nine. Aren’t you managing the party members?”
“Sorry… No, Yuria… You know what you just asked, I know it, and Posik next door knows it too.”
“You’ve been in charge of the ranged attack position like that for a long time. Oh, I feel weird.”
“They said sh*t on me. What the. The ketchup bottle I grow would be better to ask questions than you.”
Yuria was downcast.
-Hwiririk
– Boom
The third game. The bottle stopped in front of Gilt Bronze this time.
… The guy who used to be an old man is now drunk. Look at those doll eyes full of madness.
“Demon King. I have someone I want to kiss here.”
…
“This is the question!”
“Keum-dong! Golden Dong! Geum-dong!”
The excited idiot b*tches writhe all over the body wondering what they’re so excited about.
“Yes.”
…
It’s a knife answer.
Uncharacteristically for her, I didn’t hesitate or stutter her words in bewilderment. Maybe because I was drunk enough to paint my cheeks red?
…
Since she and I picked numbers 2 and 7 earlier, and I drank the punishment wine, she was different from usual.
Sometimes he looked angry, and sometimes he looked calm.
“…Now, then… Maou-nim. Turn!”
Fourth game.
The demon king held the bottle and turned it.
– Whiririk.
– Boom
This time it stopped in front of me.
…
Actually, there was something I wanted to ask before.
“Golden bronze.”
“… Huh? Me?”
From noble mtl dot com
Geum-dong’s reaction was that he had no idea he was going to mention himself.
“Can you keep living with me and the demon king? Where are you not going?”
“… Huh?”
…
From noble mtl dot com
Geumdong, whose face was flushed from drunkenness, also raised a question mark. Since I don’t know the story at all, the rest is also a cryptic reaction.
“Are you still together?”
“…”
“…”
“Then stay together. Then, this time I’ll turn…”
“Golden Dong. Tell me straight Are you hiding anything from us?”
…
There were signs from before.
-If it’s just the two of you, I’m sure it’ll work out.
-I want to help as much as I can while I’m here.
From noble mtl dot com
Geumdong’s words often showed her own finiteness.
I wanted to hear a definite answer from him.
We’ll always be like this.
“…”
“…”
“Of course not! f*ck you why! It costs a lot of money, right!?”
“…”
From noble mtl dot com
Geumdong smiled and turned the bottle with all her might with her arms.
-Hwiririk
– Boom
The questioner of the fifth game is the Demon King.
-Sueuk
The Demon King turned to face me. Her gaze was looking straight at me.
“Didn’t I just say there was someone I liked…? Is that me?”
…
“Huh.”
“Crazy. It’s so much fun.”
“… Hush! Be quite. Isn’t Dong-ha talking?”
…
It’s the same as Yuria’s question, but it’s strangely difficult to answer right away.
But if you drag it on for a long time, it’s a rather strange question. I opened my mouth. It’s been said many times, and now it doesn’t change even if it’s increased once.
“Uh. Who else would be you are right.”
…
Without any worries, dryly, he told me the same words as before. The demon king didn’t seem to like that very much.
The demon king handed over the bottle without saying a word.
It meant to look at me and turn around.
-Hwiririk
After that, the turn of the demon king and I did not come.
Amid the offensive of the hostile forces, which only had kisses in their heads, the drinking cup in front of me continued to be refilled without a chance to run dry.
*
“Purifi K… Eh. I ran out of mana.”
Dorothy, who had been casting magic on me, stopped when I was drunk. It seemed that he had used up all his mana.
“I have to go buy some potions. I’ll go to the store for a while. I’ll also buy you a hangover cure drink for Dong-ha.”
“Oh, I want to go too.”
“I will go too.”
…
-Trudge
…
…
Has everything gone…?
I felt like I was going to fall asleep from the alcohol. He buried his head in the arm resting on the table.
-Giying
At that time, I felt the alcohol in my body draining away. My vision became a little clearer, and when I looked to the side, the Demon King was looking at me.
… I think I’m going to buy some now.
“… Didn’t you go?”
“Yes.”
…
-Shoot aaa
On her beach, where only she and I are left, only the sound of the water remains.
“… I see. I’m drunk.”
…
“I know.”
“This is the last time I used mana.”
“…Really?”
It must have been because he came out of the tower and also drank alcohol.
“… I’m just a girl now.”
“…”
What do you want to say?
The demon king continued.
“… I see. I’m drunk.”
“… Uh. You just said it.”
“I’m sure you won’t even remember tomorrow.”
“…Yes.”
The Demon King stretched out his white hand and picked up the empty bottle used in the truth game earlier.
“…Would you like to play the truth game with me? Two editions… No, only three editions.”
The demon king handed me a bottle. It meant to turn.
“… If you have any questions, just ask.”
“No. I’ll ask the game. You don’t lie in games.”
…
“…In the game?”
“…”
I couldn’t think of anything else to connect.
These days, I have the idea that my speech bowl is lousy.
-Hwiririk
I accepted her request by turning the bottle.
“Thank you.”
But her greeting was overshadowed, and the bottle stopped at me.
“… I won. What to do?”
“… hehehe. Are you okay. I still have two plates left. Ask.”
…
I want to ask you something. It was something I wanted to ask every morning and evening.
‘…Why do you keep getting this anxiety?’
All the questions that came to mind were sincere and childish. Well, it’s not much different from those who kiss and kiss someone.
“…”
She had something she really wanted to ask her.
Since long ago, always. Continue.
It would be nice to hear from you this time.
“… This is the same question I asked Geumdong earlier.”
“… Huh?”
“Where are you going too? Me and Geumdong… Can we stay together?”
…
“…”
“…”
Her answer was delayed.
The moment when I was impatient and tried to add something.
“Kee hee hee. Huh. Together forever.”
Her answer came back from her. The voice was so soothing that I thought I would fall asleep again.
-Hwiririk
The demon king spins the second bottle. I’m still dizzy from drunkenness, so it’s hard to watch the spinning bottle.
– Boom
“…It’s me.”
The demon king pointed to the bottle that had stopped at him and gained legitimacy for his right to question.
“…”
-Wack
The demon king staring at me.
While sitting down, he approaches me with one step, one step.
Her fruit scent was stronger than usual.
Takes a small breath, stares straight at me
Open your lips and raise your voice in a low voice.
It’s a head-to-head match that’s not like her.
“The person I said I wanted to kiss earlier.”
“…”
“Is that person’s heart… the same as mine?”
…
I feel dizzy.
The demon king was also drunk.
We decided. How we will get along
She was the one who asked me to forget everything until this trip was over.
…
But.
Only for this moment, I like her now, her now…
Hiding in drunkenness, I want to be a little more honest.
As she said, everything will be forgotten tomorrow.
“… It will be the same. That person too.”
“…”
The demon king smiled broadly. She looked so pretty, her face flushed from her drunkenness.
…
But I had to follow the horse.
“… But that person. He’s a very bad guy… So… With you…”
The demon king’s small hand covered my mouth.
“… Yes, thank you. I am satisfied with that.”
-Hwiririk
She finished her second game by spinning the bottle.
Did I get all the answers I wanted to hear?
…
It’s slowly reaching its limit. The mind becomes hazy.
Only the sweet fruit scent and the face of the demon king I saw last time were clear.
-Full Seat
The staggering body collapses in the direction of the demon king.
My face touched her impossibly soft skin.
“Itcha.”
The demon king held his head with soft hands and gave him a pillow for his knees. It was the first time.
Even in my hazy mind, I felt like I would never forget the ridiculously soft touch. My eyes are closed in no time.
Her little white fingers brushed her cheek gently. I could feel it softly touch her lips.
“… I see. The wine bottle stopped. It’s my turn again.”
…
Because I was lying on the demon king’s lap under the table, I couldn’t stand up and confirm the authenticity.
…..
No, I was so sleepy now that I couldn’t even open my eyes.
“…… Yes.”
….. I decided to trust her.
“… I was curious about it before…”
-Sharak
Just before falling asleep.
Finally, I heard the sound of turning a book.
“… This book you used to write. Is the girl me?”
“…Cool…”
…
“You fell asleep. Hee hee.”
“…”
…
“I’m sorry to trouble you.”
“…”
“… My friend. There is something I really want to say.”
“…”
“Can’t you just let me do it once… not more?”
“…”
“I love you.”
*
Later, I found out.
On this day.
The fact that I was the only one who followed the rules of the game of truth.
*
The party members are back. I bought a lot of chocolate that the devil liked, and I bought spicy food that Dong-ha liked to die for punishment.
“We are here. Uh, is Dong-ha sleeping? Geumdong is also sleeping and is being carried on my back.”
“hehehe. Did you buy something delicious?”
“Of course. Uh? What’s good about our demon king? Did you even kiss Dongha?”
“Hee hee hee. No no.”
“Why are you not sleeping?”
“You guys have been waiting. Lol.”
Seeing the demon king smiling happily made everyone feel better.
“Hey guys. Are we good friends?”
The demon king asked something out of the blue.
But it was a warrior’s party that was moved by her words.
“Of course not!”
“hehehe. Then can you play one more truth game?”
“Okay. You’re a friend That much is enough.”
– Took
-Bingle
“…?”
Everyone was puzzled by her actions.
Without turning her bottle, she flicked her fingers and pointed it in front of herself.
…
This is an obvious foul.
However, the Demon King had a very confident attitude, unlike the way he usually looked at the opponent when he committed a foul.
…
No one objected to her actions.
Instinct told me.
I can’t do that.
“It’s my turn to ask a question.”
“…”
“Did you kill Leviathan?”
There is no conversation left on the quiet beach.
-Shoot aaa
-Splash Splash
I can’t keep my mouth shut.
Silence is an admission of sin.
They knew it too.
But no one could speak first.
…
“…Why are you silent? Guys… Nine, Rebecca, Dorothy, Yuria… My friends.”
…
“No. We didn’t see it.”
Nine, the party leader, stepped out.
…
-Burr
Blood oozes from the cracks in her clenched fists.
I was afraid. A friend I just met for the second time.
That their precious friend, the Demon King, might hate them.
Because they were together with the violent ones, the two of them who looked so good could be far apart.
…
“I want to believe. I’ll believe it. You…”
-Dtuk, Dduduk, Dduk
“If I hate you too… There is nothing left for me to like in the outside world.”
