Shake the Carrot if You Are Caught by the Devil chapter 85

85 - I like new clothes and people like old ones (13) Farewell

85 – I like new clothes and people like old ones (13) Farewell

Dorothy’s question just now was what I had been telling you.

“… What have you heard so far? The devil said he likes me I like him too.”

“Ah, that is right. I said I like it. So… You don’t know what it is?”

“What you like is what you like. What is it? What kind of Rebecca questions.”

“Why do you have me again!”

They looked at me like someone rushed to an operating table with a serious injury.

“That, Dongha. Have you ever dated a woman before?”

“Yes.”

“… No. Not just friends, not the devil. As a lover.”

“No.”

The three who used to see me as a patient now see me as some kind of rare animal. Yes, I look at any unicorn with my eyes.

“… Well, even by the standards of our elves, you are pretty handsome. Have you ever received a confession of love?”

“… I don’t know. While on Earth… Four times? Was there?”

Nine, Yuria, and Dorothy nodded their heads in agreement. The judge put a stamp on the buttocks of first-class Korean beef, so that’s right. It’s similar to saying that it’s worth it.

“Yeah, but why didn’t you go out?”

Dorothy asked. You bastard, but why is your face looking so excited?

“… That’s it.”

I was about to say something, but I stopped. It’s because memories from the old Earth came to mind.

*

I was playing a game at a PC room, and a friend came and started a dog fight.

-Goja… No, it’s Dongha. Is he really cold?

-Uh.

-Are you Gage too? Or is it Spider-Man?

-Oh that’s right. When you’ve said everything, get out of here. There are only a few days left of lol season. You have to take first place in the rankings. I mean busy

That day, I, who was innocent, listened to my friends playing games all day long.

*

“…Just busy.”

It wasn’t a lie. I just didn’t go into detail.

For some reason, everyone had smiles on their faces. Even Nine’s cheeks turned red.

“Hey, don’t laugh at you guys. Something annoys me.”

“Mr. Dongha! I was a solo from birth!”

What’s so enjoyable about it is that you open your eyes strangely and your mouth goes wide. Laugh out loud

“…You guys must have dated a lot.”

“Ah.”

-Quiet

At my words, the atmosphere became chilly for an instant, as if freezing magic had been dropped.

“… Huh? I’m busy at the party.”

“Me too… researching magic.”

“…Replenish arrows.”

“I am not popular. They hate it because my whole body is hard and it looks like a golem. Ahahahaha!”

“Uh, anyway, Mr. Dongha. The important thing now is not us!”

“…Then what’s important?”

“Do you know what Mawang-nim thinks of Dong-ha? It’s similar to what Dongha feels when he sees me! Curry.”

Dorothy said something like a joke.

“What? Wanting to die under the wheels of a wagon? The Demon King thinks of me that way?”

Dorothy, with a shocked expression, made a joke for no reason, but went without even getting her money’s worth. Nine hurriedly opens her mouth to settle things.

“No. So what Dorothy means is that the Devil might like you rationally, as a man.”

What.

“Is he me? You like me as a man?”

“Yes.”

Truly.

I’d rather say that Rebecca has been playing the fool all this time.

“It’s not like that.”

“Yes?”

“No. I’ve been with him for several months. Do I look like someone who can’t even tell those feelings?”

Everyone nodded.

“… He was just lonely and missed people and needed a friend. By chance I filled the position.”

“Yes, but you don’t usually feel that jealous of your friends. Is it only for you?”

“I agree. And Dongha. No matter how pure Maou-nim is, a woman is a woman. A woman doesn’t let anyone touch her body. Instinct is like that.”

Ah, it’s the head.

“Because it’s not so…”

When I tried to deny something more, the demon king’s actions to me passed by like a panorama.

The Demon King who counted the number of times he looked at himself and his party members, and later became jealous. The demon king who gave me the cold medicine he bought with all his wealth, the demon king who squatted in front of the door all night. In addition to that, there were a lot of affectionate images of the demon king.

… Definitely. Even as a friend… A little too much.

No.

The isolated environment of the demon king may have obscured her area of expression of affection.

And.

Me and the demon king.

Friends who like each other very much.

The current relationship was too precious. I hope this will fade to a different color.

I was scared.

“…”

“…That, Dongha.”

“Uh.”

Nine asked a question that would make things more complicated even though my mind wasn’t completely organized yet.

“Then what would you do if the demon king said he loved you?”

“…”

*

The Demon King brought a few more multiplayer games that he wanted to play. Everyone made fun of her and her without showing her dislike. Very long

The demon king is happy and laughs.

The demon king was playing chess alone in a dark room.

Right now, I am surrounded by people who like me, and I am enjoying the game. With a very happy smile.

If there is a camera, I would like to leave it.

“… Ahahahaha. I can tell just by looking at your face.”

Nine, who was sitting next to me, looked at me and said something.

“…What did you say?”

I couldn’t hear it, so I moved my gaze and asked again.

Nine put his chin on his face with a flushed face and said.

“… No, the question I asked earlier. That’s the answer.”

*

The next day.

“… Hib. Are you really going?”

“… Yes. Sorry.”

The demon king, who is not good at parting, is now saying goodbye.

Last night.

The demon king did not catch four.

Because I know that I suffered because of them.

They said they enjoyed life here more than outside.

But they didn’t have the courage to stay here.

It is because I have committed an irreparable sin against the demon king and myself.

“It’s okay to stay here.”

That’s what I said.

I still can’t forgive them.

Although the relationship has already gone awry.

I didn’t hate it anymore even after watching it.

I don’t think I’ll have nightmares anymore.

More than anything else, I wanted to fill the demon king’s loneliness with warmth.

Nine shed tears at my proposal.

And thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I refused.

– Thank you. And I’m sorry. We don’t deserve it

I didn’t explain to the demon lord what that qualification meant, but I knew what it meant.

The last breakfast. The Demon King cooked with a lot of eggs that he cherished.

That wasn’t enough, I boiled an egg and gave it to them as a lunchbox. Of course they were delighted.

Now the demon king is giving me a parting gift.

“… Whip, I’ll give you this too.”

The demon king handed over the empty ketchup bottle he cherished.

“Grunt… This… Whip, I cherish it. It still smells like ketchup. Save it and keep it Hey…you have to close the lid well.”

“… Ma, demon king. I can’t accept anything this valuable.”

“Umm, whimper, I can’t yield any more. Take it. hehehe…”

Rebecca holding a bottle of ketchup. Her tears fell on the bottle. All around her were seas of tears. It seems that she has been through a lot during this time.

Maybe this will be the last one.

If kids like them, who have a big impact, visit the castle of the devil many times, there will definitely be a problem.

“Here, sniffle, Christmas stockings. You have to hang it up. After hanging this, you can’t do bad things anymore. I need to get a present from Santa Claus.”

“… Yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”

The four received socks given by the demon king.

I packed all the weapons in the warehouse. Because I can believe it, I handed it over.

After everything is ready. I left the Demon King’s Castle and took the elevator down.

*

We arrived at the first floor. Come to think of it, it’s been a very long time.

“… That’s it.”

Nine turned around.

As if sorting out the words in my head, I thought about it for a very long time and then brought it up.

“Dongha. If, really if. If you come back to our party in the future… Then I’ll do my best to treat you well.”

Telling me to come back was the same as when they first came back.

I didn’t feel bad. Rather, I was grateful.

“No, that’s okay.”

Of course I didn’t accept it. Dorothy laughed bitterly.

“… With this, you’re completely leaving the party. It’s one of a kind, but… I looked forward to it a little.”

“Dongha.”

Nine, who apologized to her, approached me this time.

– Plop

I got down on my knees.

The rest, one by one. Even Rebecca, who was tightly capping an empty ketchup bottle.

And then he lowered his head.

“I’m sorry.”

Those pride count, things that only you know.

He sincerely apologized to me.

“… I can’t accept an apology. I can’t forgive you either.”

“… Yes. Know.”

The four raised their heads. Betsy laughed as if this was an expected reaction.

-Turbuck, turbuck

I approached Yuria. Also, she thinks she’s being hit, so she closes her turquoise eyes.

“Look back.”

“… Huh?”

Yuria tilts her head at my sudden remark.

“… You mean like this?”

I turned around with a puzzled expression.

“I’ll tie you up again.”

Untie Yuria’s loosely tied hair and tie it up again. While doing so, Yuria’s shoulders trembled slightly. It seems she still has more tears left to shed. The rest looked at us with a smile.

She wondered if she had anything to say to the demon lord this time around.

“I’m sorry I punctured your favorite carpet.”

“I am also sorry that you tormented me with magic… And turned the house into a sea of water.”

“… I’m so sorry I cut her arm.”

“Sorry for breaking the saucepan.”

The four bowed their heads to the demon king and deeply apologized. The demon king said it was fine now.

I thought it was fortunate.

Their apology was only for the small damages inflicted on the demon lord, and they did not apologise with a single word for a much bigger crime.

I will probably live with a sense of guilt for the rest of my life.

“It’s okay! Whip, Ma, is there anything I can do for you one last time?”

The Demon King waved his arms and said to Nine.

“… No. Doesn’t exist.”

“No! Think carefully. Maybe.”

“…Then there is something I want to try.”

Nine went to the demon king.

“Can I touch the ball just once? Rumor has it that it’s amazing.”

“…Write. Huh. Of course. Red.”

“… I’m not Red, I’m Nine.”

“I am Dorothy.”

“I am Rebecca.”

“This is Yuria.”

The demon king hesitated. Because he doesn’t yet have a name to give back. I put my hand on the demon king’s head and said to the four.

“He is a friend. You can call me friend.”

It was only then that the demon king smiled broadly and spoke confidently.

“Kee hee hee. I am a friend.”

And the four of them touched the devil’s cheek, whose buff had been turned off for a long time.

“What is this! I feel sorry for those who find slime or something soft!”

“The feel is crazy! Kyaaak!”

I kept touching it for a while saying I was admiring it.

With the memories left on this finger, it seemed like he would remember the demon king for the rest of his life.

The time for parting has come. Nine saw the Demon King.

“My friend. Are you really not going to erase our memories? If you feel anxious, you can really erase it.”

“Umm. No. I’ll be sad if you forget me. Please don’t forget me in the future.”

Among the intruders from this tower. For the first time, she has someone she doesn’t want to forget.

“Maybe, later. If you really look back later… Tell me your name then.”

“… Yes. At that time, there will definitely be…”

-Ttogak, Ttogak

They turned around and started walking.

We don’t know each other.

In the first place, I don’t even know myself well.

That’s why they sometimes commit absurd sins.

I can’t forgive myself for the sins I commit.

I hope that your sins will be forgiven.

That’s why you can’t say goodbye to the past.

“Nine, Rebecca, Dorothy, Yuria. Be careful.”

At this, the girls turned around and waved their hands. I couldn’t answer. Because it was full of tears.

Now.

We finally said goodbye.

*

Nine Party has returned to her home after her adventure is over.

“As expected, I can’t believe things like prophecies. What would have happened if I hadn’t gone.”

“This adventure was a great success. It was so much fun.”

I didn’t know it before, but the house looked very spacious. I felt empty.

“What is Dorothy wearing?”

Rebecca asked, holding the ketchup container given to her by the demon king. In Dorothy’s hand was an Allosaurus doll and a pen.

“Kkereureu. I have something to send.”

– Knock, Knock, Knock

At that moment, a knock was heard.

“I’ll go out and see.”

-Ttogak, Ttogak, Ttogak

-Jumping

When Nine opened the door, there was a man she had never seen before.

“Oh, I saw the supporter recruitment notice! I’ll be a source of strength for the hero’s party!”

I was an interviewer.

You look a bit like Dongha. Thought Nine.

“… Oh, sorry. That announcement is now over. I’m not looking for anyone anymore.”

Remembering the demon king, she sent the man away with a wide smile, not a fake smile.

-Jumping

“Huh? Nine. Weren’t you looking for a porter?”

“Whoops. Now let us carry our burdens.”

Four socks were hanging by the window.
