I’m Not a Hero Like You
Chapter 4
2. She doesn’t make losing bets.
Wasn’t it a nightmare?
A treasury where all kinds of rare and important treasures of the empire are stored.
How could a guy like me break in there?
However, the impossible became a reality, and suddenly it became the past.
“In other words, the door to the vault was wide open, and there was no one on standby, was that the story?”
“… Yes.”
He had a lot to say, but when the seat was ready, his mouth went dry and his tongue hardened.
If you speak properly, you will live less even if there is a misunderstanding.
The anxiety carved into his body was hardly diluted.
“Do you think that makes sense now?”
Unlike usual, my father stares at me with a hard face.
“… … .”
Conversely, when this happens, the mother is silent and silent again.
At least, thanks to the emperor quickly resolving the situation, the place was set up as if he were alone.
Maybe this part is good too, it will spread a lot of rumors.
“So, what did you do there? Or what have you been through?”
Not an interrogation team.
The emperor’s voice.
And in his blue eyes, which were watching me, the purpose of clearing my curiosity rather than asking for guilt seemed stronger.
“… … .”
However.
how to tell the truth
– These pups have grown up a lot. When you see your children all grown up… Well, is it worth it?
It was also important that this was not an office, but rather a drawing room to welcome guests.
Even so, I, the golden woman, who was watching this situation as if it were interesting while wandering in the air, was very concerned and annoyed.
“What, I heard a voice… I noticed… It was not in the treasure house. I was going to come out right away… .”
“Kariel. Isn’t your voice small? Don’t be rude and tell His Majesty clearly.”
“Oh, it’s okay. Ermina. Because it sounds good. Don’t be too hasty.”
My mother broke her silence and pointed it out, but it was rather the emperor’s side who held it back.
“In other words, you received a certain call and arrived there, but strangely, no one guarded it, and the door to the treasure chest was wide open. Is that a story?”
“Yes, yes… I do.”
saliva is dry
Mouth burns.
My heart was shaking, and my hands and feet were so uncomfortable that I couldn’t control it.
Just suppressing it is enough to make your mind go crazy.
-Hmm… ?
and.
The golden woman, who was leisurely observing the symptoms of anxiety in the air.
Even though she smiled innocently, she quickly raised the corner of her mouth with a mocking face.
As for Kariel, who was sitting with her head bowed in a shrunk.
Her mischievous and tangled expression and the thoughts contained in it.
At all, there was no time to figure it out.
still.
Because his palms were full of unpleasant sweat, as if an inner nervousness had been released.
—-
“It is not a magical act.”
The empress, who belatedly returned to the drawing room, explained the progress of the investigation.
“If you see something unnatural, it’s clear that something intervened… .”
In response, the emperor rubbed his chin and asked back.
“Even so, you cannot simply treat it as a supernatural phenomenon. Is it not?”
“Perhaps the devil or a pagan is involved.”
The emperor calmly accepted his mother’s opinion.
“The reality may not be a big deal, but until the situation is clear, nothing can be assured. Jim will take care of this part, Rueld, Ermina. I hope you don’t criticize Kariel too much.”
“Thanks to the stupid child, I have no face.”
When the father spoke with a bitter face, the emperor smiled and shook his head.
“What between us.”
“… … .”
Mother still seemed to have a lot to say, but she remained silent nonetheless.
“I’m tired, so come back soon. Ermina, isn’t it time for you to pay more attention to yourself?”
“However… .”
“The Church will request a separate staff, so you should rest in peace. Not because I’m worried about you, but for your child. You know what Jim wants to say, right?”
“… Thank you for your meticulous consideration, Your Majesty.”
“Anyway. Don’t be so rigid when we’re alone.”
“Whoops. If you can relax your shoulders and live like that, then you are not Ermina.”
“… Yes, but.”
After that, with a simple word of thanks, I had to get on the carriage heading home with my parents.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Oddly enough.
The silence was very painful.
– Isn’t that a normal family situation?
A golden woman lying in the air and supporting her head with her arms.
Although she was watching the situation as if it were interesting.
I didn’t show off about it, not even for a moment.
Right after I got home and locked myself in my room.
Finally, I vomited my true feelings that I had accumulated.
“… What the hell are you?”
-Are you asking now?
“Let me ask… Because that wasn’t the case.”
In a situation where he was arrested and driven to a place where the emperor and his wife and parents gathered together, it would be wrong to make a mistake like this… .
-Didn’t you honestly say that you were possessed by a ghost, that you were possessed by a ghost?
“… Then it would be obvious to hear.”
My father was deluded because he lacked mental strength, so it was obvious that he would be beaten.
Mother must have tried to hold her breath for a while, saying that because she had evil thoughts in her head and her usual behavior was wrong, it stuck.
The emperor also always showed consideration and mercy in normal times, but he didn’t know it again.
– Then, hiding it will solve the situation?
“Because it wasn’t a problem that could be solved by revealing it.”
-It’s puberty, so… The relationship of trust is somewhat inappropriate. If it’s interesting, then it’s interesting.
“Looking at how you called your parents and even your Majesty… Did you know everyone in your life?”
-I know, I know. It’s because it’s bad luck.
His smile was very attractive.
I had been avoiding her because I was nervous, but I felt it the first time I saw her, but she was a really attractive woman.
Even if the tone is old-fashioned, it suddenly becomes frivolous.
Although it was a little bit like his gestures and behavior were messy.
Rather, because of that, I felt a sense of freedom.
-Ah, the tension is dropping. OK, let’s do this.
Floating in the air, she sits as if centering herself.
-The tedious way of asking and answering each other, or the way of getting to know each other at once. Which do you like?
“Are you thinking of using magic to share knowledge or experience? in that state?”
Just looking at it, it’s a ghost.
By the way, are you saying that it is possible now?
– If it’s similar, it’s similar. So, which one is better?
In asking and answering, there is room for each other to conceal or distort the information they have.
On the other hand, the second suggestion… I do not know.
It was because I suddenly thought that if the other person had that much superior ability, they might unilaterally harass me.
-It doesn’t matter if you exclude consideration, but I’m neither a mob nor a tyrant. Fair trade and mutual agreement. equivalent exchange. This way of trading is the least barbed wire that maintains civilization and society.
“… … .”
I know people who say that.
fair trade.
mutual agreement.
equivalent exchange.
and.
iron fence to maintain civilized society.
This… .
“You, devil… Or are you a demon?”
-Did you decide to ask and answer?
“… no. I make a contract.”
As she snapped her fingers, letters written in light appeared in the air.
one. Disclose each other without falsehood.
two. The disclosure method is information based on each other’s experiences.
memory for example.
three. Memories provided can be randomly selected.
four. Lastly, the contract is completed when both parties are satisfied, and unnecessary restraint, stubbornness, and emotional relief should be completely excluded.
-If you’ve confirmed it, take it with your hand. There.
At the bottom, like a signature line, it was underlined.
After examining the contents carefully, let’s get our hands on it.
Naturally, the name was engraved.
-It’s a bad habit to carry out contracts so lightly, kid.
“There must have been an even worse way to cheat.”
-What if the intention was to draw them deeper and tie them up so they couldn’t escape?
“… No empty words, I filmed it.”
-In front of the emperor or parents, he was a perfect kid and a decent kid, but he became dignified just because he came to his room.
She let out a small laugh, and reached out her hand as well, putting an end to the contract.
-Now then, select the memories you want to reveal to me. After confirming that, I will provide you with the appropriate memory.
“There wasn’t a specific order in the contract, right?”
-Let’s scrape together all of your life, half of half of my life! Not even half? Don’t talk… Take care of yourself when you are caring.
“… … .”
The golden woman replies with a relaxed face.
“By the way, what should I convey?”
-Exercise your will. It’s not difficult. Think about it, organize it, and submit it.
… You know what you should have done
Still, it’s not to the point of giving up and giving up from the beginning.
As she said, Kariel calmly organized the contents he wanted to show her.
So… .
Except for my childhood when my memories are fuzzy.
‘Roughly.’
fifteen.
Wouldn’t it be enough to disclose only the information from then until now?
About 2 years.
Make up your mind and allow it inside for a while.
As if an exchange was established and a transaction was concluded.
For him too, unknown memories seeped in like a gushing spring.
There isn’t much content.
No, rather, it’s so simple that it’s embarrassing for a while.
“… … ?!”
golden beast.
For example, an existence called the worst gold.
It is said to have led Inse to Hell for four years.
golden lord.
including my father.
The existence that gave the beginning and the opportunity that made the nine heroes make their reputation in the world as a hero.
he.
No, she is… .
“Everything, you?! Uh, why are you clinging to me?!”
-Don’t panic, kid.
the woman laughs
-Did I ask for it? It was you who approached me. Let’s make that point clear.
“… … .”
If you look at it like this, you just look like a beautiful woman.
However, that entity… The demon king who once dyed the world in flames.
That one, once called the golden demon king, is one of the limbs of the great demon king who once unified the demon realm.
And after the Great Demon King disappeared, the final victor built his own kingdom by eradicating all competitors.
However, she was now, for some reason, like that.
“… … .”
-You’re trying to close the contract just by giving me your name! Isn’t that petty? Isn’t that unfair! I was expecting you to complain about something like this. You’re not that young Whoop whoop!
“… You said something similar before. If you want to cheat and hit the back of the head, there must have been a worse way than that.”
What’s more, he is the Demon King.
Besides, the girl in front of me is not an existence that became a demon lord by force.
wisdom and intrigue.
To be precise, it was because he was a demon king made of gold.
But was the force weak?
It would not be an exaggeration to say that all nine heroes narrowly won before being wiped out.
Even among heroes, the subject of the demon king is still taboo.
It was so terrifying and terrifying.
Even if it’s all in the past.
The engraved wounds and scars were still the same.
-If he was determined to deceive, he could have been the king of spirits, or he could have cheated because he was a god. Because that was possible enough.
“It was possible, why didn’t you?”
– Because there’s no reason to do that.
she was relaxed
-I don’t have to pretend to be a rat, right? You can bully someone for fun, but I don’t know if you’re deceiving your opponent to win the war, but do I need to argue about that now?
“However… .”
Aren’t you stuck on the ground because you have regrets?
Or that they couldn’t ascend to heaven, so they had to fall to hell, but since they couldn’t, they were forced to stay on the ground.
… I do not know.
-Don’t worry about anything. Because I am a woman who knows how to conquer. If he was alive, he would have used anything to recover, even if he was miserable, but as you can see, he’s dead, right? Even if you stumble and fall, it’s just ugly. no fun
“Aren’t you curious? What has become of your people?”
– What do you know? The dead do not intervene in the lives of the living. I am neither a ghost nor a demon. Why do I care about things in my life even after death?
… It is different from irresponsibility.
What she said made a lot of sense.
perhaps.
Even this might be a disguise to deceive Kariel herself.
– I’ve prepared everything. If it’s my people, they’ll probably have a proper relationship with you.
she smiled fiercely.
-Those who didn’t listen to me and ate would still be persecuted and slaughtered. It’s all about reaping what you sow. If the king speaks, it is the duty of the people to listen and eat. If you resist, you will have to pay the price.
“… … .”
Is that a tyrant’s way of thinking?
Or is it the mindset of a rational emperor?
Honestly, I don’t know.
– More than that, looking at your memories, I have more questions. I wanted to know a little more about him.
“So, you’re saying you’re not satisfied with the contract?”
– No, that’s not it.
Just cut and draw a line.
-Reading the memories, and confiding in one’s own mouth. Because this has another taste. Now that you have the basic knowledge about you and your surroundings, why is the present of a man like you becoming such a mess? Let’s listen to what happened in your past.
“… … .”
– Of course, I won’t be afraid to offer you a price. What you need most right now.
How is it, Kariel?
-Do you want power?
The power to reverse your miserable fate.
Overwhelming power than any other being in this world.
-You can change the world. if you want
“… … .”
It is, indeed, the temptation of the devil.
The devil never makes a losing bet.
like someone said so.
but.
“No need.”
-yes?
what?
Did I hear this wrong?
The demon king’s eyebrows furrowed, and small wrinkles were drawn on her white jade-like forehead.
