124 – Aunt loves her nephew! # 1

“Dina, again, if you run away, even if you are my sister, I will have no choice but to break your limbs.”

Chunkyuk, Cheokduk-.

Garrot said as above as he loosened the handcuffs tied to the bed.

Garot was a ruthless hunter, so he was merciless towards his younger brother.

“huh.”

Astarosa, the witch of obsession, snorted and touched her wrist. Perhaps because he had been tied up for a long time, he twirled his fists as if stretching for a while-.

“A beggarly nymph!”

After hitting the “Nymph Magna Carta” that was on the table with the palm of her hand, she stepped on it with her foot. Of course, it was a thick book, so there was no major damage.

“I am not stupid. Running away from you would only make the situation worse. And to be honest, I’m interested too. The resurrection of the artificial demon king.”

He said that the reason Astarosa readily cooperated was because this experiment of artificially creating a demon king matched her interests.

It must be that our obsession with the demon lord makes us cooperate.

“There is a plant called Childrake. This plant is a plant that grows in a place like the barren soil of the demon realm, and it has a lot of ‘evil’ karma. Eating this gives you power through evil karma. It means that you can inject evil karma by force.”

Chilldrake?

It was the first name I had ever heard of.

Looking at Garot, he shook his head, saying, “That’s an unfamiliar name,” as if he had never heard of Garot. Astarosa said about it.

“Of course you haven’t heard of it. It’s a plant that can only be found in the deep forests of Pandaemonium. And that’s it. Adults cannot even touch the plant.”

“Adults can’t touch? What do you mean?”

Garot asked.

Then Astarosa opened her slender eyes.

Soon after, he sat down on the bed and crossed his legs.

Then, he made a snorting sound while shaking his foot.

“Huh, what should I do? I can’t tell you too much. When I think of the pain I suffered from being chained up until now, I honestly feel like I want an apology.”

Right.

Does this mean that he has now become ‘A’ in the situation where he was tied to the bed?

can’t do it

I picked up the “Nymph Magna Carta” that had fallen on the floor.

Palak.

“Article 12, all nymphs have the right to a job, and society and institutions must ensure the social activities of nymphs through the nymph quota system—.”

“Kyaaa stop!”

Astarosa covered her ears and screamed.

The guy immediately glared at me.

“What are you thinking!”

“It means that if you don’t cooperate with us, you’ll keep reading the provisions here. Even though you are free, you are still our captive.”

As a criminal, I had a good understanding of torture.

It wasn’t just hitting and bleeding, but doing what the other person hated the most was the most effective.

Astarosa frowned as if she had received a considerable mental attack from my recitation attack.

And then – he let out a sigh.

“okay. you can tell Have you ever heard of a spirit creature?”

It’s called a spiritual thing.

It was an unfamiliar word, but I heard it.

I had a fight with a huge pit not too long ago.

“I mean karma. Not only people, but also animals, plants, and objects. This Childrake is just that.”

Is it like a spiritual creature from the plant world?

While I was thinking of something like long-rooted wild ginseng in my head, the devil woman added a few words.

“These childrenrakes are wary of older adults, whether animals or humans. Only children can approach it.”

That’s right.

That’s why the word ‘Child’ is added to the name.

It made me feel like my head was clear.

“But that’s what makes the children of Pandaemonium dangerous. Because childrenrakes are plants with a will, they are dangerous and ferocious. Many children get injured and die while gathering plants.”

Saying that, Astarosa’s expression shone with a slightly subtle emotion. I witnessed the eyebrows wriggling with a very subtle feeling.

“Are you talking about experience?”

I asked.

Then Astarosa nodded.

“that’s right. I too was a slave in my childhood. I was a slave to draw children’s drakes. Most of the children who worked as slaves with me died, but I was lucky enough to survive and become an adult.”

That’s right.

It was a story that gave us a glimpse of what Astarosa’s childhood was like, the witch of obsession.

Garot immediately asked.

“Where can I get those children’s lakes? Is it only available in Pandaemonium? Or does it grow wild in other forests?”

* * *

“About a couple of days. I think I should go to Pandaemonium. three days long? It could take a week if longer.”

evening time.

When everyone was seated at the table, I talked about my plans for the future.

It was the opinion that he was thinking of collecting ‘child lakes’ from Pandaemonium.

They say that children only grow in Pandaemonium.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Everyone shut up.

Naruman said, “Pork cutlet is delicious, but chicken cutlet is also delicious… !” and cheerfully cut the knife. The first among the adults to speak was Saint Iris, who became a guest at the mansion.

“Pandemonium… . It’s the land of terrifying backlight, isn’t it? A hell on earth where demons roam and all kinds of cursed things roam the world… . Are you saying you want to go there?”

hell on earth

Indeed, it was a place suitable for such words.

Now that I think about it, the demon castle breakthrough party was literally the same as committing suicide. Me, Enkidus, Queen, Brigitte and Sifnoy.

It’s as if five NIS agents had infiltrated North Korea and cut the dictator’s throat to stop the war.

Everyone had to keep their mouths shut when they said they would go back to that hellish place.

“The small monk will be with us this time as well.”

said Enkidus.

To that I shook my head.

“Enkidus, I don’t know about you in the past, but you wouldn’t be able to infiltrate Pandaemonium now. Your energy is too strong.”

Before and after defeating the Demon King.

We’ve grown to the point where we can almost be considered different people.

So, of course, he was supposed to be a strong ally, but… , Ironically, because of that solid growth, there was a problem with infiltration.

Enkidus guy, after defeating the Great Master, he grew up little by little, to the point where it was difficult to hide his presence even with my skills.

“The number of people has been roughly determined. I’m definitely going I’ll take Astarosa with me as a guide. And to control Astarosa, Garot decided to participate. Now the other… I think we should take one of the kids with us.”

It is for this reason that I have brought up this agenda for this evening.

Childrake is a plant that only children can pluck.

Therefore, I had to take one of the children in our mansion to Pandaemonium.

“I’m serious? Are you taking the kids to that dangerous place?”

Brigitte stopped eating and asked me.

That expression was quite stern.

I knew very well what he was thinking.

Of course you want to object.

Then Garot said.

“Let’s take Cecily. Although it was only for about a month, I trained Cecily myself. He’s good at walking stealthily, so he’s the most suitable for this job.”

Is it Cecily?

Certainly, Cecily walked stealthily like a cat.

However, Cecily, who was slicing the steak, bristled at the sudden story.

“… Why is that Cecily? Are you skipping school? This is completely unbecoming of a noble lady… ! If you miss school… .”

“You will learn more than you can learn in school. And the time to hunt has come. I also started hunting for the first time at the age of four. My father said so too.”

“hehehehe… !”

Right.

Was it decided to take Cecily with him?

It was fortunate that the members were decided quickly.

Then it will be my turn to convince Brigitte.

“Brigitte, could you possibly get in touch with the wizards of Walpurgis now?”

“With those people?”

Brigitte’s eyebrows trembled slightly before bending into the shape of eight. Maybe it’s because I heard a name I didn’t want to hear.

Of course, since Brigitte was a wise woman, she quickly grasped my intentions.

“You’re thinking of entering Pandaemonium through the portal, right? From this Phrygia to the border of Pandaemonium is at least a four-day carriage ride away.”

“that’s right.”

I like that the story is fast.

The problem was that the relationship between Brigitte and the Walpurgis family was so complex and difficult that it was difficult to simply say ‘not good’.

There’s nothing you can do about being rejected.

Thinking so, Brigitte nodded.

“great. If that’s the case, I can help too. Everyone wants to risk their lives, but I have to sacrifice at least one thing. I’ll try to contact the white magician, Friede, through this magic engineering communication device.”

The white wizard, Friede, was Brigitte’s older sister.

It was said that now that Faust, the former head of the family, is dead, he is now the head of the Walpurgis family and is trying to sort out this and that confusion.

Beep, beep-.

Brigitte manipulated the magic cell phone here and there.

“uh. It’s me. I have a deal. Send someone out today at midnight.”

The call was simple.

It probably wasn’t a conversation I wanted to go on too long.

With that feeling, we decided to go on a journey to Pandaemonium at midnight today to save the children’s lakes.

If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to get your target and return in one night.

smart-.

While I was in my room collecting work tools, someone knocked on my door.

“Isn’t it Cecil?”

“How did you know?”

“There are not many people who can come to my door without making footsteps. So why did you come?”

“Hey Cecily, I don’t want to go to that Pandaemonium… !”

Right.

You came to ask me to remove you from this operation.

However, when I heard about Garrot earlier, they said, “There is no child more suitable for this job than Cecily.” Certainly, Cecily was the most gifted among the children when it comes to sneaky movements.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be gone soon and I’ll be back soon I will do my best this time, so there is nothing to be scared or difficult about.”

“Ugh… ! It’s not scary or difficult, but there are no bathrooms and no beds? That Cecily doesn’t want to go to a place with poor hygiene… !”

Cecily trembled, clutching the hem of her puffy silk nightgown with her hand. Certainly, Pandaemonium was, in many ways, far from ‘aristocratic’.

Because it’s wild out there.

While I was contemplating for a long time, Cecily sighed and then spoke patronizingly.

“Then it is to make a fair deal.”

“transaction?”

“Princess Ordor’s birthday party is in the summer, right? I want to attend there. A social gathering where all the nobles of the world gather to discuss nobility… !”

Right.

Princess Ordor’s birthday party was famous all over the world. Like the award ceremony at a Hollywood film festival, it was a place where celebrities all over the world wanted to participate.

However, since the invitation to the princess’s birthday party was limited to 300 tickets, the fact that not everyone could participate also earned everyone’s envy and favor.

Cecily said she wanted to dream of making her socialite debut at that party.

“If that’s the case, why not try your best?”

“Then I promise.”

Shuk-.

Cecily held out her little finger to me.
