Chapter 397

It was a skydiving that started from a fairly high place, but I was surprisingly calm. After doing this a few times, I feel like I’m used to it.

It was only natural that he would be a little tired until he finally landed thanks to pulling out the needle that had been stuck in the arm of that ignorant demon tribe for a short time, but he wouldn’t die from falling. The demons, unaware of this fact, spat out all kinds of curses and stirred their limbs while enjoying the free fall together, but they didn’t seem to have the ability to curse, so they left it alone and started to worry.

In the meantime, the flying dragons of the demons who were already disappearing into a dot were fucking disgusting, but since I had already missed the opportunity, I couldn’t help it, so I decided to forget about it. As Esmuer said, it was a waste of time to be bound by what could be done at any time over what could not be done now.

However, the conclusion of the simple yet ambiguous concern was not as easy as expected.

“Should I use this or kill it?”

As I was immersed in thought with my arms folded over the land that still felt very far away, the demon stopped the bathtub and made an expression that I would see all the crazy people in the world, but that reaction didn’t help me solve my troubles either.

It’s not that I started worrying for trivial reasons, such as being deeply impressed by how he was trying to save his subordinates, or taking care of him because he was a woman. To be precise, from the moment these guys flew in aiming for me, the problem was the shit that crawled up.

I still don’t know who the enemy of my village is, but these bastards do it all, now they even figure out my location and try to hijack it? Of course, as a result, it was the guys who were hijacked, but I still didn’t like that my information was being sucked in one way.

That’s why I wanted to say a word... Just in front of my eyes, a certain captain was falling, so the thought that I would rather use this guy for a crooked plan anyway passed by.

“Well, this is not a problem that can be solved by forcing me.”

It was only possible with the consent of the other party anyway, so I needed to slow down, so I injected magic into the needle and took the same action on the needle stuck in the arm of the female warrior. Since I was holding the needle, I only felt moderate resistance, but the arm of the female warrior who did not expect anything was raised without consideration for the owner and put the brakes on her fall.

“Oops!”

I wasn’t particularly considerate, so I wondered if the needles suddenly rising upward would tear all of my skin, but the female warrior prevented the catastrophe with a short scream and just clenching her teeth and giving strength to her forearms.

Indeed, even when I tried to forcefully pull it out, it was tough to say that it was like a person who held onto it with his muscles and didn’t let go.

“What, what is this...?”

However, unlike the reflexive action, it seemed difficult to understand this situation. Looking at that, I decided to put the plan on the topic from the beginning on hold and take a slight detour.

“Do you want to fall and die with enmity, or do you want to make a deal with me and save your life?”

“what?”

“I didn’t hear you wrong, so answer me.”

Originally, I only had one thing to say. He told me to shut up and wait because he will soon go to collect the price of the massacre committed in our village.

However, like the other demons, he didn’t even know that such a thing had happened. In the meantime, how would you take it if the person who tried to take your life would spare you and ask you to deliver a message related to the incident?

If it were me, I would have doubts. what the heck is that? The Demon King’s army has never set foot in the West, so why is this story coming out? while doing.

And I’ll be careful. Those who engage in clandestine activities will be more suspicious. If you’re unlucky, you’ll be spared at best, so you might just wipe your mouth and not say anything. Then my already hot-looking inside will turn over properly.

Even though I decided to gamble anyway, I had to do some ground work to avoid such a fucking outcome as much as possible.

“What the hell are you talking about...”

This time, I took a break while arranging the needles. Suggestions that aren’t outrageous, feel somehow reasonable at the cost of life, and might actually help me. Even so, the Eldmia desperately racked their brains for the first time in a long time to suggest something that would make that guy feel moderately repulsive and think that he had suffered a great loss.

And it flashed. Something that can touch a lot of things at the same time.

“Your comrades and the corpses of the dragons are trophies. Do not touch any of them and just go.”

“What...!”

A very wrinkled face. Deliberately even using the word ‘trophy’ seemed to have elicited a successful response, but I was a bit surprised that the reaction was a bit more extreme than I expected.

“Why are you reacting like that when you can’t even carry it with you anyway? Did you really intend to gather up all the scraps and pack them up?”

Thanks to that, my acting continued naturally. I ended up asking half-sincerely.

“Eh, at least makeup...”

The reaction of a person who is self-sacrificing, has a sense of belonging, and has become accustomed to maintaining confidentiality while performing secret missions behind enemy lines was indeed satisfactory.

“Bully. That’s the condition of the deal. If you don’t like it, lie down with your colleagues.”

I closed my eyes tightly and looked very distressed, but the female warrior soon accepted my offer. I paused for a moment as she tried to walk away with blood dripping down my right arm, then asked as if I had come up with it belatedly.

“Ah, do you have any potions?”

I knew it wasn’t there so I asked. I don’t even have a small pouch, so where would I put the potion? Unsurprisingly, displeasure lingered in the female warrior’s eyes as she turned her head to look at me.

“...Are you kidding me?”

It was indeed a demon whose emotions were easily revealed. Still, not hiding my absurdity at all was better than raising a serpent inside, so I shrugged my shoulders and answered lightly.

“It’s more like selling merchandise than that. Come to think of it, the guy who gave you orders feels like a bit of a dick.”

I took out a reasonably priced potion from the pouch and held it over my head so that she could see it easily.

“The wound on your arm will heal. At least you won’t die from overusing your magic power to stop the bleeding. It could also serve as proof that you performed it. The judgment is yours.”

“...I don’t know what you’re thinking. You tried to kill me just a moment ago, but now you’re giving me a chance to heal?”

There is a bit of anger in his voice, but he seems to be working hard. Of course, on my part, that little bit of anger was absurd enough.

When did I threaten you with a knife to attack you? As they pounce. Even if I didn’t have a purpose, I died with a high probability, so why don’t I know how to thank you?

“I’m just making a clear distinction between public and private. And you shouldn’t get angry, but you should pray to Epaga-sama. Don’t worry too much though. If you attack again, I’ll kill you as much as you like.”

“...just say something?”

“Well, even if I die in the middle of not being able to deliver it, I won’t go there to argue, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

She accepted the deal, although she added an extra word after

“...insane” .
