62 – Get Out

“…”

“…”

Did I hear that wrong?

“What?”

The demon king seemed to have drained all his strength from his body as if he had poured all his mana into the words he just uttered. I think I can win now.

“I said…”

“What?”

“Me, me, get out. If you don’t leave, you die…”

What are you doing… You.

The demon king’s voice trembled as never before. It doesn’t match the weight of the word ‘I’m going to kill’ in the slightest.

“… Gee, I’ve packed everything.”

She pointed to the bag in the corner of her kitchen with the tip of her trembling finger.

“… Get out. Now.”

The demon lord blocked any high-level magic by sniffing him. She looks so hard right now. Like the glass bowl hanging halfway over the corner of her table, it looks like it will fall and break at any moment.

“…Can you hear the reason?”

At my question, the demon king took another deep breath and opened his mouth without thinking. This question seems to have been expected.

“… I won’t play with you anymore.”

Chamdo is also her reason. There is a lot of tea that has been made hastily.

“… Ha, that’s it, that’s it. I was just surprised Just tell the truth…”

As usual, let’s approach to grab the demon king’s hand.

-Paper weave

!

A chain lightning passed by my ear. The lightning that was shot on the wall narrowly missed the picture frame she had hung on it.

“I, get out. You are now an intruder too. Get out.”

Does my Mawangseong Survival Jjambab look like Jaws?

I almost got hit by that lightning for a day or two. What to go out I’m sure he’s tic-tick-tack-tack-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick

Beginners are usually scared here, and they give up on the devil’s demands. For example, saying ‘I’ll do everything you ask, so help me, f*ck!’.

It doesn’t even work for me.

“Okay. Is it because I’m absent today? I’ll stay still in the bubbling golden candy room. Little Farm is open at night, three glasses of golden carrot juice, plus two statues of golden calves…”

-Paper support weave Support weave

…!

Lightning strikes again. A thick burnt smell fills the kitchen.

“Everything, I won’t miss next time…”

“…”

This is no joke.

“… I, get out. Get out.”

The demon king, whose eyes were swollen from crying all day, told me again with a face that looked like he was about to cry again.

“… Are you serious?”

At the question posed for final confirmation, the evil king’s face darkened. Even so, he felt the need to speak, and he opened his heavy-looking lips with difficulty.

“…Yes.”

My head is complicated.

How should I react?

From noble mtl dot com

Get out?

Yes. It was definitely something I had hoped for before.

Once, I even paid blood on my hands to get out of here.

Then.

Now then?

Well now.

If I were to place this tower and return to earth on a scale, I might choose it without hesitation.

If you put this tower and this world on the scales.

Not at all.

I don’t like it at all.

It’s much better where she is.

As she said, the sun doesn’t shine, there’s no doctor or medicine for her, and there’s a hole in her pot.

Still, it’s better here than outside.

But.

She’d better go out if she wants to.

-Here it is. Don’t go out I’ll kill you if you leave.

Like before, being trapped here wasn’t my choice.

-You get out of here now. I’ll kill you if you don’t…

It is no longer my choice to leave this place.

I am not qualified to say that I will stay here.

I have already committed many sins against the demon king.

I don’t even have the ability to pick up spilled water.

But if she wants to stay by her side.

Though I couldn’t pick up the spilled water on the floor, I thought I might be able to wipe it up even a little bit, so I arbitrarily set a sentence for my sins.

Thinking that way, I was able to lighten the weight of my sins a little.

But.

If she doesn’t want me anymore.

If I said I would stay here, it would be like asking a prisoner for a favor.

Her troubled future is about to annoy her already.

There must be other reasons not to stay here.

-Turbuck, turbuck

I approached her packed gym bag. It was as heavy as if there was a piece of metal attached to her ankle.

-Gap

-Sueuk

I pulled the bag back and put it on.

-Wack

I turned my head and saw the demon king’s face.

…!

For some reason, he was sitting in a chair and reaching out to me. When our eyes met, I hurriedly withdrew my trembling hand and moved my gaze to the other side.

“Can you see me off?”

“…”

-Drreuk

The Demon King got up from his chair. Her white, bare feet moved beside me as if they were attracted more than the chair that had just been dragged to the floor.

I didn’t move first.

Me and the Demon King were just looking around the kitchen in silence.

Could it be that the Demon King can change his mind?

-Chabak, chabak

That kind of anticipation was dispelled by the demon king who started walking ahead.

-Chabak, chabak

-Turbuck, turbuck

In the hallway passing by, you can see things containing memories of spending time with the devil.

I don’t think I should watch it.

When you are surrounded by various memories.

It was because I felt like I, who sometimes act like a child these days, couldn’t stop like her child and told her that I would stay longer.

The back view of the demon king who walks without looking back. Her gait was much slower than her usual.

*

I arrived in front of the entrance.

The Demon King canceled the barrier.

Even so, we were blocked by something unknown in front of the barrier-free door.

“…”

“…”

A long time has passed.

A while ago, the demon king came out first in the kitchen.

Now we have arrived at the door. The reason I’m holding back is purely because of me. Because I’m the only one going out the door.

Why?

My feet, which had become increasingly heavy, now do not budge.

It’s only been a few months.

I hesitated for a long time.

It’s not just now.

It always seems to have always been like that.

Let’s go now.

To tell you the end.

-Sleep

I moved my head and looked at the demon king. He turned his back on me and looked at the wall.

“Thank you for coming to pick me up.”

“……”

“… Are you not going to see me?”

“……”

“… Ok… Ah. Speaking of Little Farm, Warehouse 6 contains 220 Golden Potatoes. I’m afraid I won’t be able to find it. And the vegetables to be served at the next town fair are warehouse number 2. Don’t forget And I have four paper dinosaurs folded under the bed in my room. I was going to give it to you when there were eight to fit the empty room in the paper house… Uh…”

I want to say goodbye to the demon king one last time. However, the demon king didn’t look back even if he lengthened the story as if he didn’t want to.

‘I really have to go out now…’

Ah, yes.

A demon king who can’t even sleep at night because he’s anxious. Of course she’s her friend, and she doesn’t want to go out and talk about it, but what she’s going to do with me is another matter.

“… Can I not erase my memories?”

The demon king turned his back on my question and trembled.

“Whoop!!”

For some reason, she let out a moan that choked her breath.

“…Are you okay?”

“…..”

Am I not following the procedure this time?

For trusting me?

… What.

I don’t want her memories to be erased as long as it’s okay with her.

Of course, I didn’t have only good memories the whole time I was here. In the beginning, I was afraid that I would die, so I was trembling. It wasn’t much different from the outside. She was terribly afraid of her demon lord, wanted to live, and desperately wanted her intruders to kill her.

… Not at all anymore.

Memories of playing games with her until dawn, memories of sharing scarce meat, memories of collecting coins from intruders’ bags, memories of comforting the demon king, who turned out to be a great crybaby, and even enjoyable trips.

It has become a memory that I do not get tired of no matter how much I think about it.

“Demon King.”

“…….”

“Thank you so much.”

-Duk, Duk

On the instep of her still showing her back to me.

-Duk, tuk tuk tuk, tuk.

A downpour is falling.

“…You are fine…”

“A. Hurry up and get out…!”

She shouted in her mangled, muffled pronunciation.

I must have cast telekinesis magic on me. My body bounced back and I was dragged out of the wide open door of the demon castle.

– Kung!

As if trying to hide the demon king’s crying, the door was shut.

-Turbuck, turbuck

I started walking. I walked for a while.

– Boom

But there was nowhere I wanted to go.

-Turbuck, turbuck

I came back in front of the closed door of the demon lord’s castle.

*

– Plop

I leaned against the wall next to the door and sat down. Rather than wanting to go back inside, I just wanted to be here. Because this is the closest place to the demon king in this world.

The demon king clearly cried at the end.

I cried a lot.

If it wasn’t something related to me, such as when a children’s book was burned, when it was rattling, or when it was Leviathan, I would have been able to appease it.

-I won’t play with you anymore

What is the reason the demon king pursued me with a funny excuse?

Have you ever been fed up with the incompetence of the burden of buying medicine after spending all the money you saved up? Or did he select me as a target of hatred for a belated human being?

… I don’t think so.

I tried to come up with a reason, but there is nothing unpleasant.

-Turseok

I take out the luggage that the demon king put in and look at it.

A full can of canned beans, kimchi, a scarf, a rice bowl and spoon that I used to use, and clothes I hadn’t seen before.

-Sueuk

I heard the letter underneath it. It was wet, so the writing was all smudged.

Other letters were overwritten with a black pen and were unrecognizable.

… A gift?

… Yes.

She will wait a year alone.

Looking at the paper department that does not change and the camera that does not produce pictures.

All along, alone.

Keep going alone.

That’s too much.

“Whoop.”

Something frantically boiled inside. I felt like I was going to have to vomit something like a rattling kettle lid, so I let out a big breath.

If you want to leave, you have to talk.

*

I whimper and push the closed door with all my body.

‘Crazy b*tch.’

I remembered Nine pushing the door with one hand. Well, it makes sense, since all the things that push through this door are world-class monsters.

“Awesome.”

-Kikiiik

A stone door that barely moves after being opened for a while. I got excited and opened it up.

-Giying! Gying!

The familiar beep. I’ve been in many times, but this was the first time I’ve been out. Now, as an intruder, there is nothing to say even if he is beaten by the demon king.

‘…But.’

I have to tell you.

And.

I want to see you one last time.

!

When I entered the door, the demon king was lying face down in the same spot.

-Turbuck, turbuck

I got closer to the demon king.

“… I didn’t say something earlier…”

But no answer came back.

Same as before, silent reply. But something was different.

I touched the demon king carefully. Carefully turned her over from her prone position. Her hair down to her waist was dragged to the floor so it wouldn’t hurt.

“… Haa… Ugh…”

…!

She is gasping for her breath, looking struggled.

… No way.

I don’t think so.

-Sueuk

I put the palm of her hand on the demon king’s forehead. It was hot like a fireball.
