385 25, Demon King Doubt

We still have time until noon, so let's put our faces on the guild. I don't have a lot of people in my time right now.

It's surprising if you think so. I wish I'd just gone to work. I'm not talking to you for nothing.

"Seriously?

"Oh, they saw Heinern, didn't they?

"Seriously! Shit!"

"That's why you don't have a demon king, right?

"Then who can move that stupid big rock?

"Good morning. What are you talking about? Could it be the Noir Forest forest, just east of the southern tip?

"Oh, Omei? You haven't seen it in a while. Yes, there it is. You know something?

"No, I know... we're talking about a giant rock lined up two kilometers square, right?

"No, I'm sure... they do. You're familiar with it.

"And there's no entrance and there's no other way in than to climb or fly, is there?

"Oh, they're rocks, so they're tall, but it was easy to climb.

I see, a little over two weeks ago. Did you see it before you did the concreting? Well, you'll be discovered someday.

"There's an oversized boulder in all four corners, but did you see the crest engraved there?

"No, I didn't hear that. They climbed from the middle of the west side.

"Um, is that right? Then if you ever get there, you should see the crest carved into the northeast and northwest boulders.

"You're familiar with it. Tell me."

"I've been keeping it to myself for a while now. You just shouldn't go in on weekdays. You can come in for the weekend. Of course there is no demon king.

Hmm. What am I supposed to do, take care of intruders? It's nice to be in there while I'm gone, but if they're dumping trash or something, they're going to run out of bees.

I'm worried about your ownership, and you still talk to your mother when you're in trouble.

In the guild after Curse left...

"Hey, it's him, isn't it? Mr. Sparrash was adorable, kid."

"Oh, you're Curse. Boy, you called me Boy."

"Why would a kid like that?

"That's a witch kid. You know about the rumors that the party that rubbed Odillon burned down every meadow without any ashes left."

"Oh, I mean, is that Cone the Witch?

"No, which one - and not the jerk-off cone? That guy over there and Mr. Sparrash were close."

"It's not neat. Odillon is fine. I'll give the slave woman a hundred pieces of gold and marry her. Oh, she's rigid! He's his brother, isn't he?

"You're my brother. What's wrong with that?

"I hear Mr. Sparrash's last job, he was with him! How could you!

"You know what? What are you talking about by now?

"When I saw that kid's face, I just remembered!

"Better than that. What do you think of that information?

"Ah? What about the crest, what about the weekdays?

"That's it. I'm thinking of something really stupid right now. Why would Curse know that?"

"What the hell, say it"

"It's too stupid to say. I don't even know if you know why he didn't tell me. That's why I'm so stupid."

Curse is still the youngest adventurer in Kutanutu. But since we have quite a relationship, it's not the first thing to get involved. If you're an older rookie or someone else who doesn't know Curse, it might be different.
