Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 231

53. Street vendor of devils, angels and warriors

(1)

3 days later.

A guest came to Yulgeum’s safe house.

Zeke opened the door at the sound of a loud knock.

“Mr. Scatul! “Oh, it’s Mr. Scottiel.”

“A skatool is enough. “Because now I have the appearance of a fairy.”

Michael’s servant Skatul

bowed his head with an awkward smile.

“How many times have you turned the world upside down?”

He said this as he took off his coat and hung it up, then turned around.

At that moment, a fist filled my field of vision.

puck.

When I raised my head, another punch and then another punch hit my face.

It was so sudden that I couldn’t avoid it. The opponent was not that easy.

I held my numb cheek and looked up to see Deus smiling.

“I swore that if I ever met him, I would hit him three times. “But I don’t remember why I made that oath.”

Yulgeum said.

“It’s because of the metronome.”

“Oh, right. that.”

Scatul smiled bitterly as he stroked his swollen face.

“It’s still a mess.”

“It’s a compliment, right?”

“Let’s put it that way.”

“But I called an angel, so why did a fairy come?”

“I guess it’s because of the eyes of the world.”

“Are you the type of person who cares about that? you?”

“I’ll leave it at that for now.” Scatul then bowed to Yulgeum.

Although he was just smiling, Yulgeum sighed and got angry.

“It’s my fault. “Okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean Migo. “I said I would take care of it and raise it… but I ended up losing it.”

“That’s enough. It seems like it’s back to its original place. It is enough to become the 667-year-old Demon

King and lead the war that will take place 10 years from now. “God’s order has not yet been broken.” Deus frowned.

“Do you think I would let that happen? After I destroy the Nezar bastard, I will return to my position as the Demon King. Even if I die, I have to die.”

“But it doesn’t matter. No, I like it better that way.”

“Let’s say that… so how far have you been listening?”

“First of all, I came after hearing that they were gathering a party of warriors to kill Nezar. “Zeek will be the hero, right?

”

Zeke smiled and scratched his head.

“It looks like that.”

“Deus, what do you plan on doing?”

“merchant.”

“You haven’t discarded that setting yet?”

“huh. It just worked out well. “Are you a fairy?”

” yes.”

“What are you going to do with my mine?”

“What mine are you talking about?”

“Do you want to smoke? “Agaiatta open pit mine.”

“…Have you already forgotten the reason why my face was shaped like this

and are dragging out that old setting?”

“Would you forget?”

“Isn’t the contract invalidated the moment you return to the Demon Lord? There is no way a fairy would hand over the mine to the devil king.”

“You’re a merchant again.”

“As for questioning the parties involved…

“This is what the parties involved come to say. “Give me back my property.”

“Ha, did you call me just to make such a trivial pun?”

« O ” Hmm. “Anyway

, I don’t have anything to say

about that .”

“Well, let’s talk about the open pit mine later. Let’s go back to Nezar. So what job are you going to do? Fairy swordsman? Fairy wizard?”

“Do I have to choose?”

“of course. It’s a hero’s party, right? For your information, there are already a green mage and a black mage in the party.”

“If I were to choose a mage, it would be a three-color mage.”

“yes.”

“Then I’ll just do a magic test.”

“Okay then, you are a magic swordsman butler.”

“There was something strange at the end?”

“It’s better for someone with experience to do it, right? Buy a house.”

“You really haven’t changed. It doesn’t matter. “Whatever you call it.”

“good. Well then, butler, first get a carriage and come. “Something big and cool.”

“Are you serving me right away?”

“ ow O

“But here…. there won’t be a road you can pass by by horse-drawn carriage.”

“To be a competent butler, you have to resolve that issue.”

“I have no intention of becoming a particularly competent butler

.”

Yulgeum said.

“You’re going to leave here anyway. Then, all you have to do is go down to the bottom of the mountain and then find a carriage.”

“That’s not allowed.”

“why?”

“Then it’s not bullying.”

“Your Excellency.”

As Yulgeum said, Deus and the others left Neuekan.

Zeke, Signi Sadimus Raque, and two main knights.

They had lived in Neuekan for a long time

and felt strange leaving their home.

While coming down the mountain, Lakhe opened his mouth.

“The monster… has decreased.”

She always played the role of scout at Neuekahn.

It has become a habit to detect the enemy’s presence in advance by stepping on foot and spreading fine roots up to hundreds of meters in radius.

Even now, as I naturally look around, I sense a change in the environment.

“You mean the monsters have decreased?”

At Zeke’s question, Lakhe

looked around and opened his mouth again.

“There is not a single mugwort monster within a 300-meter radius.”

“How could something like that happen… Deus intervened in their conversation.

“It’s a likely story. The thing the mugwort monsters were using as a passageway was Io Volcano. But now giants are using that road. “The giant army marches frequently, so the monsters must have avoided that path.”

Zeke laughed bitterly.

“It seems that Nezar finally solved the mugwort monster problem.”

“It’s not a solution. “If the giants don’t use it, monsters will use it again.”

Since there were no monsters, it only took three or four hours to go down the mountain.

We left after sunrise and arrived at the shore around noon.

The group immediately headed to a nearby city.

The public sentiment was so uneasy due to the war that the castle gates were tightly shut even in broad daylight.

However, the side door for travelers was open. The group

decided to stay overnight at the castle and found a room.

Zeke, Yulgeum Deus, and Ska Tool.

The four of them met again at the tavern in the evening.

When Yulgeum said that he wanted to taste the delicacy of the castle, Deus intervened, Zeke was dragged out, and even Scatul was sneakily involved.

The bar was called Siren’s Nest. An emblem shaped like a person with wings was used as a sign.

In a noisy atmosphere, the group

rented a table and ordered snacks and drinks.

When the drinks were passed around and the snacks and empty bottles were piling up, Scatul burst out laughing and looked at Deus.

“I never imagined I’d get to hang out with you guys like this again.”

Deus poured his drink into his mouth.

“I didn’t know you would shamelessly come back for me.”

“Are you shameless?”

“of course. “You hit the back of my head a few times.”

“You weren’t particularly honest with me either.”

“But why you? “In terms of being a butler, he’s trying to be on par with the owner.”

“Oh, that was the setting. “Are you going to pay me properly?”

“of course. I have a big mine in fairy land. “That’s where hundreds of millions of dollars come from.”

“Hahaha, that joke is really funny.” Deus filled Skatul’s empty glass.

“Well, one way or another, there are bad blood and relationships. Isn’t it the same to hate someone forever just because they fought

? You did your job and I did mine. Let’s not hold grudges against each other. “You’re not even a demon lord anymore.”

“Actually, that issue is a bit difficult. “How should I treat you, not the Demon Lord?”

“Merchant 1 is enough.”

“It’s too strong to say that.”

Deus shrugged his shoulders and held out his empty glass.

Scatul filled his glass. Scatul, an angel in the form of a fairy,

looked back at the group and smiled awkwardly again.

“Well, we’re not a group that has one or two problems.”

“Let’s leave the little things aside. So are you still pushing forward with the setting of the war 10 years later?”

“well. I am the lower one. “When superiors tell me to do something, I just say ‘yes’ and follow it.”

“You said you were Michael’s left angel, right?”

“Affiliation is like that.”

“Why did you try to delete Migo?”

“You suddenly burst in. Because it was too risky to leave it alone .

“It is not recorded in God’s temple that a child is born between a demon king and a warrior.”

“I’m adding this because I think some people might misunderstand if I say that, but I’m not specifically aiming for it.”

“Of course. Would you ever have lusted after a 10-year-old girl? “Even if he is a demon lord, he won’t be that much trash.”

“But this bastard.”

“Let’s consider it as repayment for getting hit three times

.

“I liked it when you were obedient as a butler.”

“Because we are colleagues now.”

Yulgeum’s voice grew louder.

“It’s so ordinary!”

“Why is she like that again?”

“Try Deus, this. Is this delicious? Do you really think so?”

“Why are you drunk again?”

“hurry!”

What she handed over was a type of stir-fried meat.

It had a slightly spicy scent.

It was a fight that would be difficult to win in the first place, so

Deus quietly put the meat that Yulgeum had given him into his mouth.

It wasn’t that it didn’t taste good.

If I were to be honest, it tasted like the meat sold in most restaurants.

“Why is this?”

“delicious?”

“It’s just something to eat.”

“It’s not okay to eat something! It’s been a while since I’ve eaten outside food. “I raised Migo for over a year and lived in that small house eating only dry food.”

“…You really went through a lot of trouble

.”

“yes? I understand?”

“You reveal a lot about what you eat.”

“Call me a gourmet.”

“It’s just a pig. “A pig doesn’t gain weight.”

“this!”

“Anyway, if you want to eat something delicious, you can ask Zeke to cook it for you.”

“That’s it! “But there’s no kitchen.”

“Why do you need a kitchen? In the past, people would set up a brazier on the street and cook in a kitchenette.”

Deus said while looking at Zeke.

“Now that I think about it, there was money to be made here

.”

” yes?”

“Do you want to continue running the food stall?”

“Aren’t you going to save the world by defeating… Nezar?”

“I have to save it. But where does money come from when you dig in the ground? I have no property anymore. Now that I think about it, I think I left all the money I had left in the Demon King’s warehouse. The warp gate leading to that place was given to Migo. “It’s complete bullshit.”

Deus scratched his cheek and opened his mouth again.

“Go back to the demon world and say, ‘I’m sorry, but

won’t you give me back the money in it?’ It seems so out of place to ask for something like that. “I don’t think I have money to buy a carriage right now.”

“Did you plan to ask someone to come without even giving me money?”

Skatul asked and Deus nodded.

“It’s the job of a butler to do something about that, right?”

“Now that I think about it, I feel like I’m incredibly busy. “I will send another angel, so try to persuade him somehow.”

“lets think. Zeke’s food stall. Will it make money or not? “If you earn well, I’ll give you a big salary.”

“It seems like an operation with many problems, doesn’t it?”

Zeke spoke to Deus.

“But I’m wanted.”

“Oh, you’re being chased by a dark warrior or something?”

” yes.”

“So isn’t it better?”

” yes?”

“Who would think of a cook as a warrior? If you

walk around the streets wearing a sword, they might think you’re a hero. “If you sell food at a food stall, you won’t be recognized.”

“Oh, I almost convinced you.”

“There is no choice. Someone has to make the money.”
