11 – Trial of Swollen Liver
“So, what do you want to say to me when you visit my house?”
I first asked a question to Seo Hae-rim, who was sitting in front of me with a slightly arrogant feeling.
To be honest, the answer had already been decided in a situation where such a big man had come this far, but the rule was to ask what to ask in order to clarify the situation.
And, in response to my question, Haerim spoke with a smile on her lips.
“What… don’t you already know? This is a situation in which I, and no one else, have come here myself, as to why.”
“Making guesses and hearing confirmations are two different things. Maybe he came to avenge his grudge.”
Looking at Haerim Seo who seemed relaxed, I spoke with a bit of coolness.
At this point, the possibility was quite low, but
In the meantime, since I’ve f*cked Seo Hae-rim and Asgarrot more than once or twice, it wasn’t very likely that she would try to retaliate against her, depending on the situation.
Because now, in front of Seo Hae-rim’s eyes, it was as if the enemy of the past was sitting defenseless with the defense wall called Olympus gone.
‘If this b*tch came out like that, I have no intention of staying still…’
Unfortunately for her, now I am no longer the weak ordinary Seon Woo-jin of the past.
Non-human demons.. Among them, Demon Sultan Aztas, who has risen to the top.
If she didn’t want to be subjected to something she couldn’t handle, it would be better for her to keep her tail down.
Of course, considering the troublesome things that will happen after that, from my point of view, this was also a very welcome thing.
But…
Apart from my vigilance. Seo Hae-rim looked at me with an expression that still kept her smile on her face and continued.
“Certainly you can think of it that way, but don’t worry, it’s not something you’re worried about. Rather, the reason I’m here is to give you a helpful suggestion. Yes… To offer to come to our Asgart!”
“Umm..”
To be honest, Seo Hae-rim brings up a story that he thought would be about 70% likely to say this.
As I watched her break the contract in front of me, I asked her in her calm tone, feeling a little relieved that I had avoided her nuisance.
“I want to take me to Asgaroth.. Are you serious? Do you know what kind of relationship you and I were in not too long ago?”
“Of course, I know that. And that’s why I want to bring you under me. Because I know how useful you are.”
Certainly, a person who has been punched painfully knows whether he is good at it or not.
It’s only natural that she doesn’t doubt my ability as a manager, given what happened to me.
But…
Apart from this, to be honest, I was not very happy with this proposal.
‘I’m not in need of money right now, so there’s no need to go through the trouble. Of course, some of my colleagues who like to fight can become hunters later, but I’m not.’
Since he had already achieved so-called world domination, he was well aware of the fact that being at the top was not very meaningful.
In addition, since I have literally been ground to the soul in that goddamn Olympus for three years already, the mission of me, who is no longer even a human being, to save mankind has long since disappeared.
‘If you look at it that way… To be honest, the fight between the demons and the hunters is the same as the one across the river from my point of view.’
I am in a situation where I only have to take good care of my colleagues and my younger brother, regardless of whether others fight or not.
With that thought in mind, I said in a quiet voice while looking at Seo Hae-rim in front of me.
“First of all, I would like to thank you for giving high regard to my ability. But I guess I’ll have to think a bit more about entering Asgaroth. As I said before, I have things in my mind now.”
As I put down the contract, I secretly expressed my refusal.
But…
“Hmm.. After all, money is an issue?
Seo Hae-rim began to take my words in a slightly different way.
“Ah… No.. Not really like that..”
“Ah, it’s okay. Because I fully understand. But don’t worry about that, even though money can’t give you that much. Instead, I’ll try to accommodate you in many ways. Conveniences that in some ways can be more helpful than cash.”
“….”
Seo Hae-rim interprets people’s words as he likes while talking, as he did in the past and still does.
As much as I know that once an accident is twisted in this way, the story becomes more and more annoying, so I decided to stop talking about this in general.
“Yes, I understand. If not, we will contact you later to inform you of the exact employment status.”
“Yes, I will be waiting for a good answer. Please contact me as soon as possible.”
Seo Hae-rim answers my words with a smile and a voice full of anticipation.
Right after that, she left the place almost immediately, like a normally busy body.
Seo Hae-rim literally bursts in all of a sudden, says only what he wants to say, and then leaves in an instant.
Right after she left,
Nyale, who had been silent all this time, spoke in a voice filled with cold anger.
“For a trivial piece of trash to speak such nonsense fearlessly… How dare you dare to say that you are a human and that you will have Aztas under your command?”
“Calm down, Nyale, there is no need to get excited.”
“Ha..But..”
“I know how you feel, but I’ve told you before. That this is not the Aurelios Continent, where the demons have conquered, but the Earth, which is dominated by humans. As long as we live here, we have no choice but to respect human rules to some extent.”
“… Gut..”
Nyale looks slightly resentful at my words.
I spoke to her with a bitter smile on her lips as I felt the feelings of her stuffiness contained in her.
“And anyway, it’s enough to just ignore such a story lightly. There’s no reason why we should work for them. There is no means of forcing us to do our jobs over there.”
“Yes, it certainly is. But honestly, I don’t like it. How dare such a thing come out of the mouth of a human being…”
“Just let the immature kid who doesn’t know anything talk nonsense. Besides, right now we have a lot of other issues to worry about. You know what’s important without me having to tell you, right?”
“…Haa.. Yes, I understand, Mr. Aztas.”
After barely calming down her emotions, Nyale washes the dishes in a much calmer atmosphere than before.
Watching that scene, I let out a small sigh of relief, and then proceeded with the things I wanted to do ahead of time.
From noble mtl dot com.
Then…
-“I’m the boss~『”-
“..Yogsu?”
A familiar yet smirking voice in my head.
Depending on what you’re listening to, it’s a voice that might make you feel a little offended, but for me, who’s already used to it, this part itself didn’t really matter.
The problem is the mission of the owner of this voice…
It was about the so-called ‘guard’ mission.
“What happened? What happened to Yuni?”
– “Yes, that’s right. Something happened, and that was a very important thing~『”-
Yosug’s voice sounds like he’s talking serious, but the tone is that a funny prank has been born.
So, I was aware of the fact that what he was trying to say wasn’t a direct problem for Yuni, at least right away.
At the same time, knowing that this is a story that should never be taken lightly, I asked him while remaining calm.
“Tell me. What the hell happened?”
-“Don’t get excited midway and listen carefully, that’s what I mean..『”-
And the words of Yoggs continued
The moment you hear it…
“!?… Ah… Aztas…?”
“… What you just said… Try it again…”
Oh sh!t – pliers, blowtorch, this is about to get medieval.
