Duke, Please Repent! chapter 86

20. The Duke and the Secret Society (3)

It's late today, so let's go back to bed and talk tomorrow.

Serpens said with a very awkward expression.

A look of embarrassment was evident to anyone looking at it.

If that's what it looks like on the outside, it means you're actually more confused than that.

'Are you sleeping in a situation like this, your personality?

I will sleep very quietly.'

Maybe he wasn't even listening to what Euges had to say?

I'm sorry, I'm not wrong, or I'm fine.

He will repudiate all such stories, and only the thought that a side he has been hiding has been found out will fill his mind.

what happened.

How, why, and to what extent did you get caught? hold me and dig

And to match it, I'll play the setting game again.

'If possible, I would have helped too, but... .'

This time is an exception.

It's Eugene's who got caught, what if it was someone else?

'As in [Master of the Holy Sword], we might follow the same train.'

You may be exposed to further criticism and contempt.

At that time, it started with suspicion that he had not been chosen by the Holy Sword, but this time there was clear evidence that he had made a mistake.

'If you tell me why you were found out, I'll be more concerned about my name in front of others in the future, but... .'

All that was revealed right now was the name.

If the current state continues, other problems will arise, and eventually they will be found out.

'Now that I've been able to see myself to some extent, shouldn't I be able to take a look outside?'

It was still dangerous, but if it was Eugenes, he could trust it.

She finds out that Serpens doesn't treat others as human beings.

Godot, instead of rejecting him, he tried to understand.

That conclusion . There are some discrepancies, but it is close to the correct answer.

'If there is only one human relationship... .'

What he can experience is also limited to a very small part.

You have to work with many people to find yourself you don't even know you are.

It would be good to take this opportunity to gradually widen the friendship.

"Sion ?"

As I stood silently to organize my thoughts, Serpens called me.

In his eyes that I met for a while, will you help me?' I read the meaning of saying.

'Of course I need help.

But it won't be the way he wants it.

hand!

With his palms facing upward, he extended his arms to Serpens.

Indeed, he needed something to sustain him.

Reflexively, he placed his hand on the palm of my hand and grabbed it.

" What are you doing now?"

You should have asked before you caught that.

He looked down at me with a look on his face, wondering if he woke up late or what the hell is Serpence doing.

When she slowly rolled her eyes and looked at Eugenes, her expression was not formidable either.

But, how about

'How long can we not just play with settings?'

To put it bluntly, even the escort master's side could not be seen as 100% Serpence's original form.

You keep relying on the settings and hide behind the false roles you've created.

A human named Serpens will not be able to grow.

Do you believe me?

...Yes.

"Then eh, eh-!"

Eugene was blocking the wind with the power of the spirit, but he couldn't help it with the cold night air that was below freezing.

than me.

Even though I was wearing tight clothes, the cold was creeping in.

'Eugese, who has been outside all the time, is fine!'

Even his clothes are lighter than mine.

The plight of ordinary people among the superhumans is so sad.

It's too cold here, so let's go inside and talk together!

All right.

You're done, you don't have to hang out in the cold outside.

'All together,' Serpens showed a terrifying look, but he glanced at my hand and nodded.

We moved to the inn we had set aside as our accommodation.

There was still a trio of criminals in the room that Serpens and I were sharing, so we decided to just chat in Eugene's room.

'Sometimes I'm stunned once or twice.'

Soiya Eugene was able to stop it by adjusting the range appropriately, but there were still strangers stuck in the corner of the room.

Of course you have to be concerned.

What happened? My mistake is...

Serpence asked in a calm voice.

Of course, I have no intention of saying to his face, 'You don't even treat me as a person?'

"Serpens, what have you called me all this time?"

Zion ?

Not that.

Lord Rivelon.

Not a name.

He answers well, with an expression that he doesn't know what the hell this question and answer has to do with it.

Serpens, who seemed to have been thinking for a moment, opened his mouth again.

" a suspicious guy?"

No, nothing like that, man!

"What do you want to hear from me?"

it!

you?

I got the answer right in the blink of an eye, but still

He tilted his head as if he didn't notice.

Eugess looked at us both from the side with curious eyes.

'Yes. As soon as they arrive, they're playing the speed quiz all of a sudden, so it's amazing.'

However, since Serpens is such a delicate and delicate child, she should know that if she gets hooked at once, she will run away by surprise.

That way you don't make the same mistakes you made in the dark.

Yes, that's right! Note that multiple answers

There is 'you'.

Am I the only one who was calling you that?

The unconscious is scary.

He doesn't seem to understand why he made such a rudimentary mistake. Serpens frowned and saw him slowly recalling his memories.

Hmmm.

"Why do you think you did that?"

...Previously.

Yes?

I think the reason you're talking round and round like this is because there's a good reason for that. But...

As if asking why he was sitting there, his gaze turned to Yujisu.

That's a valid question.

I hope Serpens didn't hide himself. I want you to have a place to breathe besides me?

" 一; Matsuu 9

Don't be polite to everyone in the yard where everyone is caught...

"Are you planning on leaving?"

What does this mean?!

There is no news on the way back, and your condition is still bad, but where am I going from where I left?

Looking at him with a surprised expression on his face, he coughs in vain as if he's sullen.

And Wilydia-sama?

Yes?''

"As you can see, our teeth are delicate and feminine.

Since you're a Lynn child, would you mind saying something before you say something?

...Yes?

There were no words that shouldn't have come out of my mouth, but Euges blinked his eyes wide in disbelief.

Didn't you say the last time you were rough and ruthless in the dark?

Well, that's... just powerful and cool, well, that's what it meant.

"If there is a pure expression, could you use it?"

" Some of the elves are that type of person.

Since there is no such thing, I stop without knowing .

To interpret, roughly .

Eugenes likes that type of man, but he wasn't among the gentle elves, is it?

So, he didn't know what his ideal type was, but because he suddenly met him, he seemed to be having a big party.

'no wonder .'

No matter how good-looking the elves are, even if you consider that, it is ideal that they never show any kind of humiliation to the external version of Serpens.

did it

I just didn't like it.

'Isn't it because the last thing I fell in love with Humanus in [Master of the Holy Sword] was that he was so bright in the beginning?'

Today, I learned a secret that was not mentioned in the original.

It's kind of irrelevant.

I, but...

Eugene slowly raised his hand.

He nodded as if he could ask a question.

"Is there a reason why Hogu works and this doesn't work?"

"It was made up to look like that on purpose, so there could be a problem."

Once upon a time, Solertia proved this fact by using it without realizing that it was a Serpens in front of her.

He looked away from Eugene and looked at Serpens again.

With a heavy, subdued expression, he was twitching his fingers as if anxiously.

During my conversation with Eugene

It looks like the angle is finished.

"Will you hold my hand?"

Fine.

He must have turned it down because of Eugene's.

Now that I've been paying attention to my image, I've been ruined since the moment I held my hand.

He quickly reached out and grabbed his hand.

" I would have said it was okay."

"Would you have promised to watch over and help out if you seem in need of help?"

that he stares at my face

He leans over and looks at his hand held by me.

"It's creepy isn't it?"

It won't happen, I told you a long time ago. Don't you remember?

Do you believe me?

As if he felt relieved at my words, he moved his fingers and took my hand.

It was trembling slightly.

It seems that the problem is clearly understood.

'Until now, he had not treated them equally as human beings, so he probably didn't even notice.'

Since there was no comparison target, I may not have known.

The fact that he has secretly dealt with the evildoers is nothing more or less than just cutting out the rotten parts to save the continent.

For Serpens, the only difference between them is that.

'Isn't that creepy?'

It is not that nothing is felt.

However, it was Serpens himself who was more wary of him and feared him more than anyone else in this place.

'It's going to give you goosebumps.'

What's really creepy is... .

Obstacles are constantly hitting the feet.

The owner of this place is probably an ornament and brought it, but for Serpens, it was nothing more or less an obstacle.

You're getting in the way.

Serpens never understood the tastes of the demon worshipers.

'Do you think it's enough just to put a lot of things on it?'

It was only then that I wondered what would be different from those who flashily decorated the inside and outside of the Imperial Palace with gold and jewels.

They were equally useless, but at least they kept the right line of not getting in the way.

For him, who had a question about the utility of ornaments in the first place, ornaments were nothing more than miscellaneous things.

all.

- Sticky

I expected it to some extent by the smell that came from earlier.

It seems that the owner of the house has just recently put in the new ornaments.

If you accidentally touch it, your clothes will get dirty.

ttt.

I didn't like it, but I couldn't help it.

Serpence is not thrown away even if he wants to throw it away for some reason.

He pulled out the disgusting thing and floated it in the air.

Brilliant silver light pushed away the pitch black darkness.

It was indeed as he expected.

'It is enough to absorb it immediately and replace it with black magic.'

Had that been the case, it would have been a hindrance like the previous kicks, but it wouldn't have dampened the clothes and made them unpleasant if they bumped into them.

'At the risk of the loss of black magic that could be absorbed, arranging them like this... .'

After all, ornaments are just useless objects with no utility value.

Serpens thought so as he walked away from the blood pooled on the floor and half-rotted corpses.

What's really creepy isn't just the failure to treat other people as proper human beings.

that are not recognized as living beings.

And while being aware of it, it does not find any problems.

'At least the owner of the house knew that it was cruel and put it on display, right?'

If you compare it to the one in the original, which was completely ruined... .

'That's it, it's just cute.'

The look Serpens feared will not be far from the original.

What Euges imagines is that he

It will be less than what counts.

Even so, Serpens was terribly surprised and feeling guilty.

There is ample room for improvement.

'Before it becomes the light that illuminates the continent, you must first find the light inside... .'

Seriously, I got the name wrong once.
