114 – Eve (6)
Same time.
Eve, who was running to catch Harin and Kind off guard, turned her head back for a moment.
Then, contrary to expectations, there was no one.
“Heo-eok… Heo-eok…”
I was so immersed that I didn’t even know there was anything else.
I looked around, but I couldn’t even feel like I was popular.
‘It looks like a lot of stamina was used up.’
Despite Jukchang’s treatment, I couldn’t even properly understand this one thing.
This is probably proof that she has lost quite a bit of her physical strength.
‘····Wait a minute.’
At that time, an ominous feeling flashed through her.
If everything had gone as planned, Elric would have struck and suppressed Harin and Kind right away.
And he must have brought the two he suppressed here or stopped him.
But the problem was that I didn’t feel that kind of feeling.
‘Surely something happened…’
A small ominous feeling gradually spreads.
I know she won’t lose if it’s Elric.
However, who would have guessed that Harin was a traitor?
In life, many unexpected things happen.
And there is no guarantee that it won’t happen just because it’s Elric.
Didn’t an unexpected variable occur in Yggdrasil last time?
‘Quick, we have to go quickly!’
She kicked the ground with her anxious face.
Despite her loss of stamina, she progressed to the point where the background around her changed rapidly.
Then after a while.
“Hmm? “Are you here?”
I could see Elric dragging Harin towards me.
When Eve saw that, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
“Whoa…”
Thank goodness.
Perhaps there was some problem with his life? This thought continued to linger in the back of my mind.
However, fortunately, it was just her delusion and nothing like that happened.
“Anyway, you subdued it later than expected? “What happened?”
“Ah… The story is a bit long.”
With those words, Elric explains what just happened.
After hearing all the explanations, Eve was dumbfounded.
How could the devil’s alter ego come in that situation…?
“I’m glad you’re safe. Professor.”
“Well, there’s no way you could get hurt like you set yourself on fire, right?”
“Well. “It’s okay if you’re a professor.”
That’s when she lowered her head.
“Kkkkkk!”
Harin, who was pretending to faint, suddenly bursts into laughter.
The two people looked down at him.
Soon, Harin opens her mouth.
“You just killed the demon king’s clone and are completely arrogant.”
“······.”
“You are saying things like that because you have not seen the true power of the Demon King! I know why I became a traitor! “It was because I thought there was no hope for humanity!”
The two people make bewildered looks at his sudden haste.
Harin ignores the reactions of the two people and continues to shout.
“A hero who will defeat the devil? And the saint of the altar? Do you guys really think it’s possible to defeat the Demon King?! “How can a hero who is just defeating an executive be able to defeat the Demon King?!”
“Hmm. So you betrayed yourself to survive?”
“Okay. “Other than that, there is no other way for the family to survive the devil.”
Harin nods her head in response to Elric’s question.
It’s not a lie.
Why did he betray?
Of course, it is to survive.
When he saw the devil’s part, he was beyond shocked.
At that time, he was strong enough to take down quite a few top powerhouses.
Not only that, he saw his father, who was the highest power, Eve, who was called the genius of all time, and countless other famous powerhouses.
He knew the devil’s side as soon as he saw it.
That humanity can never defeat the devil.
‘Officer?’
From Noble mtl dot com
What’s the use of that?
The power of the Demon King’s army is not that of executives.
Regardless of whether there are such guys or not, it is possible to defeat humanity with just one demon lord.
To that extent, the Demon King was overwhelming.
As a result, he accepted the devil’s magic and became a traitor.
That was the only way the Ross family could survive.
“That was the reason.”
At that moment, Eve looks down at him with a cold face.
With eyes devoid of any sympathy.
“I heard carefully why her brother betrayed her. But what does that mean?”
“What?”
“You betrayed me because you were scared of the devil. Are you proud of that now? With what confidence do you say that? The power of the devil? “Don’t think you’re the only one who has seen her power.”
“Are you saying you saw it too?”
“I saw her real strength, not her convenience.”
In the previous episode, of course, I witnessed her overwhelming power right before my eyes.
Seeing her power with my own eyes was just an impression.
It is obviously incredibly strong.
Even though she was like herself in her prime, the odds of beating her are slim.
However, compared to Elric, I honestly don’t know.
I didn’t fight the devil directly, but the probability was still not 0%.
On the other hand, Elric could not draw a winning picture.
As a result, Eve and the Yanderes probably didn’t have much of a sense of crisis.
While she was briefly thinking about the power of the devil.
“Don’t be ridiculous! How can you be so relaxed after seeing the power of the Demon King! Her power is like a natural disaster! “It’s something that humans can’t possibly handle!”
“That’s your opinion.”
Elric is dumbfounded by Harin’s words.
Soon, he continues.
“Well, let’s at least say the rest in jail.”
With those words, Elric struck him on the back of the head, knocking him out at once.
On this day, the war with the Demon King’s army ended in less than half a day.
***
The next day.
A day has passed since the war ended.
Actually, nothing special happened during that time.
There was an uproar in Harin’s family because she was a traitor.
And because of Eve’s activities, the royal family did not seriously question the Ross family.
At the same time, Eve has now become the head of the Ross family.
-I don’t think it’s a big deal at all, owner?
‘Not from my perspective.’
It is natural that Eve will become the head of the family anyway.
Considering her strength and talent, it would be strange for her not to become the head of the family.
“For some reason, I don’t know why I came.”
At that time, Ran pouted her lips and ate the snack.
She was separated from Rin for the most part, but all she did was eat snacks.
There will be nothing more than that.
“Think positively. Still, it’s better than something happening.”
“That’s right.”
She nods her head bravely at my words.
At that time.
-Wow!
A vibration rang out from the subspace ring.
When I received the call by flowing mana, an urgent sound rang out from beyond the crystal sphere.
“Professor! “You weren’t hurt!”
That voice was none other than the princess.
I laughed at her words.
If anyone were to look at it, they would think we had been apart for 10 years.
“Yes. “There was nothing wrong.”
-Thank goodness. I had heard about the Ross family from her mother, but I was still nervous before I heard the professor’s voice.
“No. “Why are you doing something like that?”
-Well, there were more of the Demon King’s army there than here.
“I can’t deny that.”
In fact, if the Demon King’s army had not fled after Kind’s death, it is clear that he would still be fighting.
That would mean that the Demon King’s army was quite numerous to subdue one territory.
Anyway.
“How about that one? “Is anyone hurt?”
-Don’t worry. Instead of getting hurt, rumors about the professor are spreading.
“Yes? “Rumors?”
When I tilted her head and looked puzzled, unexpected words came out of her mouth.
-Now. The demons are calling the professor a devil.
“Yes? Devil?”
-So, you borrowed a decisive battle weapon from Professor Kun-i, right?
“I did.”
-With that, I am the devil! While shouting, I defeated the demons. At first, I really thought it wasn’t some kind of coon.
Are you saying that Tempal is the best?
A situation where even Kun, who was the weakest member of Class A, was said to be unrivaled.
“So what is Kun doing now?”
-Him? I used too much strength and am passed out right now.
Of course, that’s right.
It is a clear fact that Yig’s power is enormous.
However, unlike Jukchang, her magic drains in chunks every time she uses it.
So, she shouldn’t swing around without thinking.
“Anyway, does that mean it’s settled too?”
-Yes. But can you please send Ran over here? I think it will be needed for moving supplies.
“Wow… I really think this is going to turn into a shuttle.”
-I’m sorry. Instead, I will give you ice cream, which is hard to find in the royal capital.
In response to Ran’s dissatisfaction, the princess bribes her with snacks as an apology.
Then, sure enough.
“If it seems like I’m just going to fall for the ice cream, that’s great!”
Ran goes straight to Rin with the joy on his face.
How on earth did I develop such a personality at such a young age?
-You must have learned it by watching the owner’s actions.
I asked her, ignoring her tackle with the bamboo spear.
“Anyway, there’s nothing wrong there, right?”
-Yes. It’s not here. It looks like the Demon King’s army will be quiet for the time being.
“Hmm. “But just in case, I’ll go there…”
-Professor, please rest there for a while.
At that time, the princess cut off my waist.
She continues her words.
-Isn’t it time to embrace Eve too? I bet Eve will be waiting for you too. Still, my self-esteem dropped a lot because I lost the order to Margaret.
“Ah…”
Eve is definitely far behind other yanderes.
Recently, it seems like my self-esteem has dropped.
In the past, if you did something, there was a feeling that it would come to you.
“Yes. All right. Then, I will take a short vacation here and come back with you, Eve.”
-Yes. Please do so. Of course, don’t forget that when you come here, you’ll have to deal with us too.
“Ahahahaha.”
With those words, the princess ended contact.
At that time.
“Uh…”
I felt someone’s gaze.
When I turned my head, Eve with a very red face appeared in my field of vision.
Soon, she bends her waist at a right angle.
“Well, good luck then!”
With those words, she runs away in a huff.
It seems unlikely that things will go smoothly.
