5. Look. Look at me.(3)

The Demon King deliberately returned to Kariel’s room only after sunset.

If he returned right away, like a quick-witted guy, he would quickly figure out that he had been spying on his parents.

So, what if you give off the nuance of not being interested in this way?

Even if you ask openly, it’s enough to spill it out of one ear.

“I’ve been thinking about it.”

-Yes, man. What are you talking about as soon as you arrive?

“I need strength.”

-You know what I won’t give you, do you want the training to be more brutal than now?

“With that training, I realized that I could become stronger. However… As you said, it’s limited to survival and the art of living. Isn’t it?”

– If you keep repeating it, you won’t know again.

Whether or not you make a breakthrough yourself is a matter of what you do.

If you get tired of being beaten and get to the point where you don’t get hit, then all options will be gone except to be beaten.

Because the condition for clearing the training ground is to deal with all the enemies, or not.

Because there were only two ways.

“To be precise, I will defeat and crush my opponent… We need the power to neutralize it, and the means to do so.”

-It’s hard to say. All you have to do is simply say that you want to become overwhelmingly strong.

Well, if it’s natural, it’s a natural procedure.

It’s because you have to dodge well so that the opponent doesn’t fall.

Suppression makes no sense.

Do you just dodge until your opponent is exhausted?

There is a level of being easygoing.

-But why are you doing that to me? is your father there? Or many others. Oh, your fiancée is awesome too, so what about asking her?

“… … .”

It’s an expression that says, “Are you knowingly doing it maliciously?”

It’s been a few days since we’ve been together, and now I can read your thoughts just by looking at your expression?

It is said that the Demon King himself is excellent in that way, but this is also different.

in the first place.

… She hates the effort of paying attention to anything.

Therefore, it was somewhat surprising that she could grasp the other person’s intentions so quickly.

I don’t know if the opponent is a complete enemy.

If you’re a competitor or an adversary that’s hard to ignore, you won’t know.

-Rather, taking this opportunity and moving on to reconciliation with your parents?

“… Are you crazy?”

Reconciliation? what reconciliation?

“To the two of you who always say that I have a one-sided problem, what am I?”

The demon king laughed.

‘Still, do you respect the two of them?’

If the hostility is deep-rooted to that extent, in private, you should scrape with abusive language, and the hostility should overflow from the way you speak, but you dare to be polite, albeit formally.

– He is a pitiful and pitiful middle school student.

“I beg your pardon?”

-There is such a thing.

In other words.

While the child was twisted to this extent, how much did the people around him beat him?

Ah, just imagining it makes my spine stand up.

Wouldn’t that have been a lot of fun as it is?

Isn’t the curses, blackmail, and threats of others the driving force that eventually makes me stronger?

Then later, the pleasure of tearing them all apart… It will give parents and siblings a joy that is hard to yield.

… I have never experienced it, so I have to stop with my imagination.

I’m so sorry.

“So, I’ve been thinking about it.”

-Well? what?

“I don’t have to say much, please sign a contract.”

contract?

-why? Are you really going to sell your soul? don’t you get it?

“Are you going to do me a favor?”

-What about you? my request? what? which one What if I ask you to kill your father to clear my grudge?

Although it was Kariel who kept her mouth shut for a moment.

– This bastard? Have you been thinking seriously for a while? Such an unfilial and ineffective fellow! Then you will be punished by God?

“… … .”

Seeing that there was no resistance here, it seemed that the saintess had clearly brainwashed her view of faith.

Even so, his repulsive spirit had clearly asserted that such things could not constrain my will.

From the bloodshot eyes, the anger and repressed resentment about this were very clear.

-I think it sounds like a big heart, but don’t listen to any suggestions. So, what are you going to listen to?

“You have to listen to it now.”

huh? What are you doing?

-Look at this guy? Are you disarming now and begging for mercy?

“I know from the records that you were lenient to those who surrendered. On the other hand, it is also that they were brutally ruined and killed. And all of that… I fully understand that the intention is to alienate the enemies, to weigh fear and compromise beforehand, and to make them submit on their own.”

-If you think about it a little, you can understand it. But, I never asked you to explain it to me, nor did you ask me to sympathize with you.

Even so.

This guy, even if it was the information about the demon king himself that could be encountered in this area, it would have been recorded in a very narrow and maliciously edited form, but he unexpectedly points out the essence?

We do not judge and discriminate others based on prejudice or fixed ideas.

Ethnicity, ethnicity, region, country, affiliation, sense of community, and so on.

Although this kind of intolerance promotes internal solidarity and stability, it eventually causes another conflict.

… Still, it is an element that is difficult to grasp for those who have been immersed in this era, but did you objectify it well without prejudice?

‘Ah, come to think of it, this guy… Didn’t you say you moved to another country when you were young?’

In the name of being a pawn.

– But, I don’t really expect anything.

“You are the Demon King. At least there must be at least one thing you haven’t achieved in your life, something you regret, right?”

-That’s a story about foolish things. i’m not stupid

Extremely objective self-analysis.

In the first place, I’ve been trying to be wise so as not to be foolish, but are you committing foolishness? That’s nonsense.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m blinded by desire, I’m deaf and I’m wandering around in a huge illusion.

Do you drink the seawater just because you are thirsty?

Although the reality is that such errors are repeated countless times regardless of race.

That is not a standard to apply to the demon lord himself.

I thought I chose the second name of wisdom because I was bored, and assumed the post.

“Then behave like a good person.”

-what?

See this bold and shameless guy?

“If you have enough, you can give, right? Because you are the king.”

-That’s bullshit equivalent to what they say to eat poop while eating shit from the demons, and that’s not enough, so drink urine for free, right?

Giving.

mercy.

altruism.

The worst virtues that demons are most reluctant to reject.

Together.

-… … .

It wasn’t that there wasn’t such a kid again.

-So, now you have to give away at least a bounty, right? Keep your dignity as a king? This is a very naughty little boy.

As a king?

– Not even a servant is arrogant.

“If it is nominal, it is possible. If I become a servant, do you have the heart to bestow it?”

-… Oh, I hate being soggy.

if it was in the past

He must have had his head cut at the time of such an unseemly act, or he would have personally experienced the worst tragedy in his life in some way.

-Are you that desperate?

“Just what you gave me is already overdone. I am grateful for that. However… With that, you can either convince your father or defeat him… Because there is none.”

-ha.

If you die a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times in your dreams.

He will surely be able to become a warrior who will never be seen again on earth.

If you can endure that hell.

However, enduring hell and facing the hero are two different things.

How much more do you knock it down? defeat?

It makes no sense even more.

Even if Kariel acquires the skills to ruthlessly sweep, overturn, and lead that cruel virtual battlefield right away.

Even Kariel, who had been reborn as an outstanding warrior, would fall into ‘something like that’ with just one gesture from the Demon King himself.

It was Rueld who defeated such a demon king.

Therefore, Kariel could vaguely win with childish feelings, or maybe it would be possible.

… It wasn’t that I was having an easygoing, clumsy, hopeful imagination that was like a delusion.

‘It’s a mess in many ways.’

If you lead them to grow well, they are the lumber of a hero that will not exist again.

But it’s personality and character.

And a matter of willpower and mental strength.

Unless you have real power, you can’t even be a hero, let alone a hero.

Even so, it is not a crime.

The extraordinary is still there.

but.

… That kind of thing is seldom revealed on the surface.

-So that’s why you didn’t know satisfaction?

Even though I realized that I was growing up.

Always infinitely, infinitely shrinking, resentful of deficiencies, confronting with anger, and confronting again.

Always resisting unreasonable trials.

That extraordinary determination that took even the increasingly absurd adverse conditions unexpectedly for granted.

All of which had good reasons.

-Your father, what are you trying to do by winning against Rueld?

“You say you’re going to win, but is the next important thing?”

Next.

Even the immediate reality is hopeless, but think about the next?

Enough to affirm the crazy voice that dreams come true if you dream big and earnestly.

… The Demon King was not a positive type.

You have to be extremely cynical and cold-hearted.

How to conquer intellect.

Are you influenced by emotions?

Are your opinions inclined to the voices around you?

Do you distrust your own choices?

Seduced by condemnation and criticism, seduced by praise and flattery.

Are you mistaken for your own judgment and choice, the perfect choice and the best judgment?

If only they had distrusted the result of the mistake and even the process, blamed it on others, and avoided even the immediate responsibility.

‘It must have truly become a ghost that is neither one nor the other.’

So like now.

To be able to laugh and chat freely without any regrets or regrets in a dead situation.

Because it all made sense.

It was also an expected result.

Even so.

If that’s the right answer or wrong answer, if you put a choice.

What… .

There would be no right or wrong answers, she would have responded.

Didn’t the Great Demon King say this?

[We are slaves who are forced to solve problems for which there are no answers.]

The right answer, the answer, and the wrong answer in life.

We have no choice but to decide and pioneer.

[The meaning of life is up to you. Everything you do is entirely your responsibility. Since he has fallen into this world, only that is the unchanging truth.]

– It is an unchanging truth.

“??”

-great. If you do, let’s do this.

When she snapped her fingers, a contract of light was drawn in the air as before.

The content was extremely concise.

one. Kariel must defeat Rueld, the hero and her own father, and win the victory or defeat.

If he breaks this resolution or loses it, he will be left with the most unfortunate and painful despair in the world, and even after his death, it will continue to be with him and all those he cherishes forever, until the day his lineage disappears. .

(This does not apply to his father, Rueld, and his mother, Ermina, to his future brother.)

two. There is no need for any clumsy compromises and tricks here. The criterion for acknowledging this is only the demon king of wisdom, her subjectivity.

three. Because of this, the Demon King of Wisdom will present a training method that Kariel is satisfied with and a price for increasing power.

However, his own vision, the demon king of wisdom and the king of the demon realm of the time, is excluded.

four. The fulfillment of the contract is based only on whether it has been achieved or not.

If you fail to complete it and face physical death, you will pay an additional reasonable price.

The price for this is also supervised by the Demon King of Wisdom.

– If you want to accept it, take a picture. Like before.

Beyond the meaningful, these are the contents that are even scary.

Unless the resolution is so special, it is a conditional condition that cannot be dared.

But.

Conversely, it is also a condition for the demon king to lose infinitely if he is determined.

-Whether you live a life of escaping or simply accepting and adapting to reality without filming… .

I didn’t even finish talking, but I filmed it.

His trembling fingertips weren’t enough, even though his complexion was blue.

Look at the way he makes the decision.

Easy, clumsy.

One until it’s sad.

‘That’s also my choice.’

She doesn’t sympathize, of course.

There is no contempt, no reason to laugh.

Anyone can commit.

However, continuing it is extremely difficult, and completing it is another story.

therefore.

Regardless of whether the current resolution is special or extraordinary, she will not blink an eye.

Even accepting it with a deep impression, let alone admiring that it’s quite good, and proudly considering it a growth and congratulating it inwardly.

It’s obvious, but it’s impossible.

Countless people cry out an oath in front of them.

However, how many of them will keep it to the end and complete it?

‘If the day comes when I truly respect you.’

that’s right

It will be the very day when you completely complete this contract.

-So that it can be entertainment, try your best.

Please regret that this trivial expectation was a useless waste of time.

I hope there is nothing to rot and rot and ugly.
