Shake the Carrot if You Are Caught by the Devil

96 – Balloon Blowing Game

-Jwaaak

There is no more embittered demon king who squeezes a little ketchup little by little as much as a cell.

As she squeezed the center of the ketchup bottle vigorously, bright red ketchup sprayed vigorously onto her plate.

“Yum”

She scooped out a spoonful of sweet and sour ketchup and munched happily.

‘…They eat well.’

Just looking at it makes me feel better. If she went to Earth and did a mukbang, she thought it would be fine.

“Huh? Why do you look like that?”

“… No.”

“Why? Am I too pretty?”

She asked with a calyx. As usual, yes. I would say that, but strangely, the words were difficult.

So I didn’t know.

“No.”

I denied it. She dropped the spoon she was holding. His pupils trembled violently, like a terminally ill patient diagnosed with a brain tumor.

“… Ah, isn’t it pretty?”

The shocked demon king raised his eyes with his index finger and thumb and opened his mouth wide. Do you really think you look prettier that way?

“… No, I mean.”

There was some resistance to casually complimenting her appearance as usual. Why?

“… Pretty. It’s not like that, I saw it because it was so delicious.”

“Uh-huh. Okay. What do you want Is this it?”

She took the ketchup bottle and jingled it.

“Come on, try salting it.”

“No, that’s enough.”

“Don’t do that, eat ketchup. Oh~”

-Chuuuk

When I refuse, he squeezes ketchup on his spoon and hands it to my mouth.

“… That’s it.”

He handed me the same spoon he had just been washing.

“Ah, eat quickly! At this rate, all the ketchup will evaporate!”

Does ketchup evaporate?

Actually, hygiene doesn’t matter. It wasn’t once or twice that I ate the food left by the demon king.

… By the way.

Why can’t I eat something so hot?

…

Let’s just eat without making a fuss. Like before.

He brought the spoon to her mouth.

-Gap

The moment you put the spoon in your mouth.

“Can we date if we drink this?”

At the outdated buzzword of the demon king, he opened his mouth again. Ketchup is intact and lies on a spoon.

“You, what are you doing?”

It was a comedy that the demon king said this while sticking his head out and eating the ketchup on my spoon.

“Rather than that, did you know what you just said?”

“Huh? What do you mean? I’m talking about what the kids who came to the tower said in the past.”

So that’s the case… The demon king was sparsely patched with unknown proverbs and buzzwords. Those things became a measure of how much she had been living her closed daily life while being disconnected from the outside world, and her heart ached.

-Pocky

– Beep Beep

When I looked back at Geumdongi who had entered the kitchen, she was doing something absurd. She, too, wasn’t sane either.

“What are you doing? Golden Dong.”

“As you can see, take the chick for a walk.”

From noble mtl dot com

Gildong was walking her chicks in a line by attaching her leash to her neck.

“…”

“Dongha. Please don’t look at her through the eyes of a pitiful bastard. I’m doing it because the demon king ordered me to.”

“Hmm? Golden bronze? Does that sound like something you don’t want to do?”

“hehehehe. No way. What a pleasure Even if they grow up, these pseudo-birds can’t even fly. Oh, didn’t you line up ten correctly?”

He promised Geum-dong that he would give him two cups of chocolate milk if the demon king did his favor, and he is said to be keeping that promise.

“Hey, come this way!”

Keum-dong, who has a temper with chicks, when he dragged him away, the pissed-off chicks started pecking on Geum-dong.

“Ah! Ouch! These gnomes whose only existence value is to lay eggs!”

He was a brave gilt-bronze who spoke his mind even after being beaten. The chicks followed Geumdong well even though they were outwardly tick-tick.

The three of us are at the warehouse. It was to organize the warehouse, which was even more full with the items Dorothy had sent before.

“Uh-huh. Guys. If you guys play games, what do you want to do?”

The demon king immediately asked a question.

… If you have to.

“The corpse play.”

“Sleeping game.”

-Hwiik

The Demon King, who heard our answer, smiled and whistled, and the space tore apart, and the Devil of Hell came out.

And standing next to the demon king, it’s like the owner’s ‘Not yet. You can’t eat it yet.

“hehehe. Did you hear me wrong? What game? Oh my, the devil of hell is hungry.”

It was a demon king who gradually negotiated in the (old) Dorothy way.

We also do warehouse clearance. I decided to find a fun game.

*

“Oh, this sounds like fun.”

From noble mtl dot com

Geumdong said while holding a crocodile toy.

“This is a beginner. Put it down If you don’t want to be hooked like a real pirate.”

I told Geumdong about the savagery of the crocodile doll. Then he immediately threw the crocodile doll away.

-Dumbing, rummaging

There are plenty of things to do in the warehouse. Originally, there were a lot of them, but thanks to Dorothy, they became more diverse.

‘Oh, that’s right. There was this too.’

The video player they gave me for Christmas. It’s an older model, but the TV we used to play games was also old, so it was fine. There will be a video, let’s see a movie with the devil later.

At that time.

A familiar roar was heard.

-Pajiyiing!

“Kyaaah!”

Huh? Déjà vu? I heard it once.

Looking back, I saw Geumdong who was sweating profusely after pressing the button on the killer ray robot to shoot a beam at the demon king. Unfortunately, the demon king’s clothes were burned on the side like that time.

“… Do, Dong Ha hyung.”

The look in his eyes sending me a rescue signal is pitiful.

“… Bye bye. I won’t go far.”

*

“Rabbit, dinosaur, bear…”

“… Dongha. What do you mean?”

“You are thinking about the next doll candidate. Your place has to be filled.”

I wasn’t kidding. Will the demon king who burned his cherished black clothes for the second time really forgive him? It’s nice to see this because it’s someone else’s business. After all, roasting and eating sweet potatoes in a burning house is a delight.

“… It’s you. Don’t let go.”

The demon king recited in a cold voice. Geumdong naturally straightens his back, stands at attention, and speaks gibberish.

“I-I will find a fun game in 10 minutes!”

It was gilt-bronze with as much agility as mine. It’s just that I promised new clothes in the very distant future, whereas that guy just extended his immediate death by 10 minutes.

‘I still have a lot to learn.’

I wasn’t as good at lying and dealing with crises as I was. But what the f*ck do you think that spitting well is something I’m proud of?

“…A fun… Game?”

“Yes!”

“Okay.”

Keumdong moved busily to find the ark to board. Poor bastard… Of course, the demon king wouldn’t really tear gilt bronze to pieces and kill him… But somehow it didn’t seem like someone else’s business.

-Pocky

“Oh, I found it!”

It seems that Geum-dong, who was vigorously moving around the pile of luggage with his doll’s arm, found something good.

-Pocky

He rushed to the demon king with what he found.

‘… Huh?’

For some reason, I think Geumdong smiled happily while looking at me. Somehow I got chills.

*

“A balloon blowing game!?”

The eyes of the demon lord who came back after changing clothes were filled with curiosity.

“But, Demon King, do you know what a balloon is?”

When I asked the demon king, she made a shocking expression.

“Why don’t you know that! Do you know what kind of caveman I am!? It’s a bomb that explodes.”

“The Caveman.”

I put behind the demon king’s protesting words and listened to Geumdong’s explanation of the rules.

Come to think of it, it was the first time I played the game Geumdong suggested.

“Let me explain the rules! Blow up a little balloon every time you lose while playing the game. Then the one who explodes loses!”

From noble mtl dot com

Golden bronze, which had just received a new life, was full of vitality. He is like an ex-convict who vowed to live a clean life from now on after getting out of prison.

“Ah, I understand. You?”

“Yes. I got it too. But cancel the caveman thing just now. Cancel immediately.”

*

When I pulled out three balloons, Geumdong booed me.

“Dongha. What kind of fun is that?”

“What? Why? Aren’t you blowing up each balloon?”

From noble mtl dot com

Geumdong hit his forehead with the palm of his hand as if he had learned from the king. You can hear the soft sound of her cotton and cotton colliding.

“No, it’s with one balloon. Come on. Don’t you feel it?”

I don’t know what the guy’s intentions were, but his way of talking seemed like an authority on balloon games, so I came to trust him.

“Then I’ll decide the penalty game for blowing the balloons.”

“Yes!”

“Good.”

The game that Balloon Master Geumdongi decided was Rock Paper Scissors. The Demon King’s impression was distorted to some extent.

‘… What is it? Is my mind Why do you want to play a game of luck that the demon king hates… Or don’t you know that the demon king has no luck?’

It seems that Geumdong is interested in becoming the Demon King. It seems that she intends to defeat her by asking her to fight her and take her place as the Demon Lord.

“A while ago, you said, ‘Yeah!’ Now, let’s begin. Rock Paper Scissors!”

Me and the demon king also reached out to Geumdongi’s command. The result was, of course, the defeat of the Demon King. The demon king took out a yellow balloon and inflated it moderately.

“Kee hee hee. Fun…”

I lost, but the game itself seemed to be so much fun that the demon king smiled like a child. It’s a beautiful smile every time I see it.

*

“Sigh… No… No more.”

It’s been a long time since I lost my beautiful smile.

The Demon King added 22 consecutive losses after that. In other words, all the wind inside this tightly filled rubber balloon is her breath.

“Where is the wrong! Rock Paper Scissors!”

The 23rd game that Geumdong started with Horyeong, who was excited, was also defeated by her.

“… No.”

The demon king put in less air than an ant yawned and blocked the balloon entrance.

Hey man. There must have been more that came out when I opened it for a moment than what went in…

“… That’s not it. Blow it right.”

A game is a game. Have to make sure

“… Uhh…”

The demon king cried and blew into the balloon to eat mustard.

-Tight

Now it was really about to explode.

“That, gilt-bronze! I’ll get you another cup of chocolate milk…”

“Rock, Paper, Scissors!”

From noble mtl dot com

Geumdong, a predator without mercy, proceeded with the 24th game right away.

Another defeat of her.

“uuu!?”

The demon king glared at his innocent fingers. Then he saw the opening of the balloon that had been inflated taut.

“… Is this really blowing?”

We nodded at the demon king’s question.

“I-I am really going to die!”

The demon king’s words were not over. I really won’t die, but that yellow balloon was not a joke, it was a bloody visual even to me, a retired army sergeant. If something like that explodes right in front of you, you might suffer from balloon phobia for the rest of your life.

‘…’

Actually, I noticed Geumdong’s sneaky plan a while ago.

‘…A clever bastard.’

-Wack

-Wack

Keumdong avoids my gaze and silently strikes a distant mountain.

I knew it because I went through low quality and seniors in college… Geum-dong… Me and the demon king… Indirectly… Anyway, I was trying to get him to do it.

“uuu…”

The demon king, who was on the verge of tears, his face turned blue and brought his pink lips to the mouth of the balloon that was inflated.

The wind that enters with difficulty.

Fortunately, it didn’t explode.

“… Whoops.”

But next time it will definitely explode. And she knows she’ll take it too.

Keum-dong must have been sure that I wouldn’t just be watching the demon king who is afraid of balloons.

…

Exactly. In the meantime, it wasn’t like watching us with form.

“The 25th game, scissors…”

-Chuck

I put out the cloth first before Geumdongi’s command went out.

…

Looking at my hand, the demon king tilted his head, and Geumdong smiled slightly.

“… Rock!”

-Chuck

After the command, Geumdong brought out the scissors.

“…What?”

The demon king saw me. I gave her back her coy smile.

“…Sigh, thank you so much.”

The demon king, who muttered very quietly, also brought out the scissors.

*

… I was just fooling around.

Isn’t this just putting a grenade in your mouth and pulling the tweezers? The balloon is so inflated that it is surprising that it is not bursting.

“…”

Yes.

Actually, what I just said is an excuse. Balloons were also a bit scary, but there was a fundamental problem.

…

I don’t know why I’m hesitating about something like a child.

It wasn’t easy to put my mouth on the place where the demon king’s lips were stained a while ago. A subtle fruity scent rose from the entrance.

…

-Kung, Kung

Why are you doing this?

“…My, should I blow?”

She covered her ears and trembled, but looked at me with her worried face. Her head is probably full of fear of balloons.

I laughed out loud for no reason. Her innocent reaction seemed to give me a push.

-Huh

I blew up a balloon. Looking at her pitiful expression as she sees the person sacrificing in her place.

…

Let’s blow it like this until it explodes.

-Huh

At that time.

“Oh no!”

-Cheap! Cold!

The demon king, who was suddenly terrified, came running.

She removed her hands from her own ears and plugged mine.

!!

At the same time.

Pow-!

The balloon burst.

The demon king was surprised by the sound of the balloon popping.

I was surprised that she was so pretty for having the courage to run for me.
