The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 197: Teacher Etha's Classroom

Dr. Etha was spreading about half a fold of rug on the unused classroom slab floor, sitting on top of it and praying.

This is a small lecture room, near the classroom where we always lecture in Terrorist.

KLA language courses have recently been able to monopolize one large classroom, but they were not in the past.

By then, when the lecture was over and the next comma began, I had moved to this room to receive questions even after the break.

When I heard the door open, Dr. Etha stopped praying and turned to me.

"Er...?

Dr. Etha stepped back to get up from the rug and get away from me.

It's me.

Take the hat and the muffler.

"What, Mr. Yuri?

"Yes, I asked to say hello"

"Oh, really..."

You didn't think I was coming, Dr. Etha seemed somewhat distracted.

"Dr. Etha, that verse seems to have inconvenienced you."

I keep my head down with dust.

"Oh, no, not at all... because it was fine at all"

Dr. Etha was detained and placed under house arrest by the Second Army the night of the assassination.

Hi. He was with Terru.

After I made contact with Tyreto, I had him check on Dr. Etha's whereabouts.

He was in presumptive custody, but he kept watching because it was safer to attack and rescue away from the King's Capital for transfer than to rescue him on the spot.

But the king's capital fell before he could be transferred.

If I were to hand it over anyway, I would have transferred it at the same time, so I told Dolla oh but the formula Telu would have been expensive to help.

"And more importantly, did you come alone? Given your position, please don't be careless."

I don't want Dr. Etha to tell me......

"Well, that means something... I also wanted to see how the correctional institution was doing. Because if you're being abused, it's a problem."

That's what I said, sitting in a chair near Dr. Etha.

It's a little dusty because it's a hardly used classroom.

Dr. Etha also sat there when he paid the seat of the chair with his hands all the time and laid the handkerchief he had removed.

"Doctor, were you okay when they took you? Injuries, etc..."

"Yes, not at all, not at all... The place of house arrest was also kind of a very good room..."

Well...... Dr. Etha was captured by the royal castle, which would have been better built than Dr. Etha's private room when it came to the royal castle rooms.

I give you 3% from Bible sales as a translation fee, so you should be able to live in that much room if you want...

"Really? Good for you."

"Yuri seems to have had a rough time too... about your parents, really... what should I say..."

Dr. Etha looks really sad.

I guess he's mourning me.

"Yeah, well... by the way, I've seen you in the prep room. Six people were waiting."

I changed the subject.

Don't even get too damp.

"... right. Hey, I'm flustered right now."

"I kind of seem to be bothering you about me... sorry"

"No. But if you refuse everything, why..."

Dr. Etha did her hand on her hair, still looking like she was haunting her head.

I guess I'm in the way of wearing glasses.

"Some of them are really here to ask questions, so I don't mean to do this... because if I'm responding, I'll be in line..."

"Why don't you hire a good boy who speaks Terrorist and let him represent you there?

Then only the questioner will remain.

Because she doesn't know me.

"But I'm sorry about that too..."

"If you give me the money, there's nothing wrong with it. Witchers are all like unemployed, so I think they'd rather be happy."

"Really? Maybe Yuri's right."

Good.

Looks like a ride.

"I'll let you get your money out of school. Give all students who can become teachers money and decide to teach Terrorist to free correctional students."

I'm not in school anymore.

"Huh? No, but..."

"That's okay. Because we really need this."

Either way, a lot of Terrorist speakers don't have a problem.

In case I lose and become a slave, you'd better speak Terrorist.

"I've already made up my mind. The text is good for that Bible."

You can learn about the other culture, and you should know about religion.

"Hmmm...... but is it ok"

"That's okay. Studying ancient Shan language doesn't help anymore."

"Oh...... right, sorry"

Dr. Etha, for some reason, bowed her head.

"The Crusaders are coming... because of us and your parents..."

Did I sound sarcastic?

I personally just had a hatred for ancient Shan language.

"Dr. Etha, don't say any more. That's not what we're talking about."

"But..."

Ah......

Something tells me someone blew shit in.

The teacher is a Klu, so I don't like myself when I say I have no choice...

But Klu is my friend! It's also a big problem to direct like that, because that's going to make me out of war...

"Dr. Etha's position pattern, someone may have told you that, but you don't have to worry about it. If it's war, it's war."

"... but my countrymen seem to have betrayed me... by the name of Luke Morette."

"Oh, is that him"

I got some use for that one.

"Excuse me... while I keep the kingdom hidden as an exile"

I also learned the other day that there was a clause in his contract on asylum that he would not commit treachery against the Shan Nation, and he was in violation of that clause.

Well, even without that clause, it's the death penalty for externally induced crimes, but I guess Dr. Etha cares because a contract is an exchange of faith.

"Isn't the teacher a different person from Luke Morette? You don't have to worry about it."

"... that one is from the papal realm. He always said he wanted to go home to Ahornakato, his hometown, without being as tame as I am. Roots are not bad people..."

"Really... well, it's a little too late"

Hmmm......

Well, that's too late.

"What's happening to him now?

"In short, it's something that Dr. Etha shouldn't hear."

"Tell me. I've also seen terrible, ugly things so much that I'm tired of seeing them. It's okay."

I don't care if you say so.

"Well, enjoying life from now on has become a difficult body in any sense"

There is something terrific about the torturing of the King's sword, and even I was impressed.

Without considerable knowledge of the human body, it was such a mark of torture that it would be difficult to blame him so far.

That would be more merciful to kill him, even if he survived.

"Oh......"

Dr. Etha exhaled to mourn the misfortune that spread to the world.

"I didn't know much about it. Looks like you were just really connected. However, you will have communicated the situation in the Wang capital and the personal names of the big men in detail."

Of course, he should have told you that Dr. Etha was in exile, alive and taking a teaching whip.

"... we know we can't absolve ourselves of sin. But... it's really sad."

"I killed a lot of people, too, but I think there was only a little bit of bad guy at the root. Maybe Mr. Luke Morette's a good guy, too, but I'll kill him. Instead, I don't complain when they kill me either. It's each other."

Killing or getting killed, I don't think I can help it.

Even in a society governed by the rule of law, man kills others to take them away, so in a disorderly (anarchic) world where the law doesn't work, it extra happens.

I can't even understand the other idea. Because it's easier to steal or take possessions than to make them.

It's self-evident that it's cheaper to kill and bury a landlord and live there than to work and build a house for decades.

I have a lot of learning and abilities, so I can live wealthy lives with the wealth I've created myself.

But this is something I can do because I was born capable.

If it was a completely incompetent, crippled life that doesn't work for anything, even I might have thought to live by taking it away from others.

Human beings are made to fear death, so it is an unscrupulous demand to die if you want to take it away.

I'm in a good position. Just because I'm in the way, you're in the way, so get out of your position and hide in the country. Even so, sometimes it would be cheap and quick to kill you because you can't follow that.

I don't find that irrational.

In fact, I made that suggestion to Olorn Boff, and he kicked it, so I asked him to leave.

For example, the only reason that the perpetrator and the victim can share is mutual.

Human beings have been placed on a board (field) called the world without refusal since birth.

There's no way to tie people up.

There is no such thing as a superior law made by God, only that people make laws that bind people at will and operate against the backdrop of the enforcement of violence.

In a normal society, the law may work in normal driving. Some people may misconstrue that it is a morality that disciplines the world.

But when it comes to war between armies, the exercise of the highest degree of violence, that doesn't work.

If the weak loser is trampled, the strong winner tramples, and the force is reversed, the perpetrator and the victim may also be replaced.

Neither did the Great Witches, except one, say that this was unjust or excessive violence.

As someone who has trampled on others and lived a wealthy life, I guess he knew it was a word he shouldn't have said even if his mouth was torn at death.

They used violence, defiled their jobs and devoured their profits as a matter of course, but they were not thick and shameless.

"Really...... but Yuri looks sad. It's evidence of heartbreaking."

What do you think?

"Didn't Yuri strive to keep the victims to a minimum, even in war?"

That's because the Crusaders are coming.

I was trying to kill everyone from the witch, even the students in the correctional home.

Although it's good because I managed to avoid it, I'm pretty sure that's what I was really thinking then.

"Well... it's not human to fight a war. In fact, if you find out what I'm trying to do to the Crusaders, Dr. Etha will be disappointed in me."

Think normally, don't pull, I guess.

For someone like Dr. Etha, it would be something that the idea itself cannot.

"I won't be disappointed. Yuri can't let me down."

Dr. Etha said something strange.

"What do you think?"

"Then tell me. Because I won't leak it to anyone. I swear to God."

"Why do you want to know? Even if I do, I'm just offended."

Nothing, I'm not sacrificing Dr. Etha.

Dr. Etha is in a good position to live and enjoy the peace I have laid.

That's not a bad thing at all.

"Because I want to know what Mr. Yuri is trying to do. In some cases, you may be able to give advice."

"Well, sooner or later, I don't mind..."

You said you'd swear to God earlier.

If Dr. Etha swears by God, that's absolute.

"Then let's talk."

"That's it..."

Dr. Etha had lost her words by keeping her mouth shut.

"So Dr. Etha doesn't have to be heartbroken like a taste of the perpetrator. This one does something similar."

It's each other.

I don't have any complaints about that.

"Mr. Yuri...... that's fine. I'm more worried about Yuri's mind."

"... why? Heh heh heh."

In fact, after I scratch each person's neck, this is how I'm trying to do my next errand flat out.

If it's time, they'll say it's a psychopath.

"Yuri is someone who can imagine someone else's pain. You won't even try to turn away from it. That's why I'm worried."

"It's okay...... because I'm not that delicate a person"

"If you come in, I'll forgive you some of your sins... but you won't even rest for Yuri"

It's a diagonal idea.

Yes, you have atoned for your sins and God has forgiven you. So you have no more sins.

That's a convenient story, but it just seems like a farce to me.

"Unfortunately, I'm sorry to hear that."

"That's right. Then at least..."

Dr. Etha, standing out of her chair, knelt before me and wrapped her hands in both hands.

Wrapped in warm, warm hands.

I was kind of restless because I got dressed like I was looking down at Dr. Etha.

Whatever the point, Dr. Etha was whispering something like a eulogy as she looked at hand, but she immediately stopped.

He looked at me like he was looking up.

"Mr. Yuri...... please don't hold me in alone. There are a lot of people around Yuri."

"My sins are mine."

"I forgive. I won't be disappointed. Because it is people who look directly at sin as they sin and live in pain. Yuri is just a man. There are no sinners."

I don't know, Dr. Etha today sounds like the most religious person I've ever met.

"Then the murderers will not be floated."

Even the witches who were burned to death by me were, well, scumbags, but tough but good mothers at home.

At least, a few of them wanted to be like that.

"I forgive. Jesus has nothing to do with it. I forgive Mr. Yuri. Please, keep in mind."

When Dr. Etha, who held my hand, told me that, I felt reassured by the pretense.

It makes me disgust myself when it does.

That's not true.

"... Really? Okay, I'll remember."

Feeling odd, I pulled my hand a little, and Dr. Etha let go of my hand.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a little business to attend to."

I still had a little time, but I stood out of my chair.
