Duke, Please Repent! chapter 228

43. The Duke and the Darkside Demon (3)

Of course I'm going to look for more information in one way or another, so I thought you'd get an answer asking you to wait a bit, didn't you?

Actually, there are days that are supposed to be the date of the decision.

I just poked, but the serpens skips the middle process and the result

came up with

The second Sunday, rumors are circulating that there is a special item coming up at the auction house.

"Is it something special?"

The problem is that I checked the list of items that would be uploaded that day, but there was nothing special about it.

It means that someone deliberately spread the rumor.

Not everyone involved in the dark district is always there, so it's a great effort to attract as many people as possible.

"Then, can't we just prepare for that day?"

But, if that's the bait? While waiting for that day and resting your mind, you might summon a demon to do something.

I think that might be the case.

Are you worried about eating problems?

I was seriously thinking to myself, and all of a sudden, Serpens made an odd noise.

I don't know why you're looking at me like that.

Isn't that why it didn't get serious? Oh, but after listening to it, I'm a little concerned about that.

If not, what's the problem?

He acted like he didn't listen to me on the topic he had brought up about eating first.

Even if it's not certain, it is. Shouldn't that have come out before the talk of hiding in the dark?

Hmmm.

He averted his gaze with an expression that he had something to contend with.

I thought about his routine for a moment.

Of course, he was with me during work, and after work, we played together, and even when we were sleeping.

Of course, he wakes up earlier than me, but considering the eyewitness accounts of seeing him heading to the gym at dawn... .

"When did you go to Amhokga?"

"When are you sleeping?"

Look at this bastard?!

In the past, if you went out after midnight and closed your eyes for a while, recently, you may have changed your eyes to closing your eyes and then going back.

I wondered if it was because I was worried that I would wait for myself in an awake state.

Don't look at it that way. Once this is over, I won't go there again.

"If something similar happens in the future, I will wake up and talk about it."

"Of course it should.

It's best not to create the job itself, but... .

It was not an area that Serpens could control.

I would have to deal with those disgusting bastards quickly so I could stretch my legs out and take a leisurely sleep.

I'll skip it because it's more urgent right now. Then, I'm asking you saying you've been there. Were there any other suspicious movements?

He shook his head at my question.

"Up until now, I have kept the intervals as irregular as possible when visiting there.

all one. But the times were almost constant.

It means that the gangsters in the dark house might be planning something without their knowledge, so they visited and monitored it unexpectedly.

And what time is... .

"Because I had to go out at night without people knowing. But these days, that has changed. So did you see something back then?"

This time, of course, the head of the guy who had thought it would move up and down moved left and right again.

But what about the time he visits?

There was no way I was just talking about it.

I didn't see it in person, but it means that there was something different than usual.

No one was supposed to be there.

"So you mean that scorpion man?"

Considering that I was referring to pronouns on the assumption that I knew, there was nothing else.

He nodded his head slightly, indicating that he was also right.

It's not gone at all, is it?

It's not. I went to see you the other day.

He was acting as usual.

Aren't you going out to do business for a while?

It won't be. He knows it's cool to call subordinates rather than standing in person, and when he meets someone, he prefers to invite them to his place.

There is no other little moth

In short, it wasn't just that he was doing something to avoid Serpence's eyes, it was said that he was plotting a difficult task to even deal with in the dark.

I'm not sure...?

It's just heartbreak. But he's the one who's more than anyone else who's happy to see a demon summoned in the dark.

Well... I guess. I was enjoying the fierce three-way battle inside the dark district, but there must have been a sense of emptiness as Serpence pushed it away by force.... Serpense stopped all the crimes that made money, but still, it's about Lee In-ja. I thought it was going to happen, but they say that there are two more people on top of it . Rather than enjoying the pleasure of being the head of a gang, they are treated like a barge chief and only work on fictional days "

As I lined them up one by one, I thought that the Scorpion deserves to welcome the summoning of demons.

At least the bad guys won't try to stop the crimes and pleasures they want to enjoy.

"Did you get paid?"

Why?

" Then what does that person eat?!"

Do you have any income from the store?

Ah, yes...

Yongha who hasn't run away

all.

He had to run two jobs because he couldn't get any money from his main job, but eventually he got his hands on summoning demons... .

The heart attack became more pronounced. If a demon is summoned in the dark, he must be deeply involved.

"Should we even care about the welfare of criminals?"

It's not like that, but it's said that even a mouse bites a cat when it's cornered.

"Is it necessary to use the analogy of a cat in the same situation now?"

Meow, meow, what the hell is that person saying?

In fact, I thought that the person who was more serious about cats than anyone else might have been Serpens, not me.

Just looking at how sensitively they use words that have been possessed.

For reference, all the proceeds from the dark district were anonymously donated to the Luxmea Church.

"Yes? Why are you in the church?"

There is no social welfare organization as transparent as the denomination in this Canaan continent.

Unlike incompetent Mea, the current Pope seems to be doing a very good job.

If there are no signs of darkness inside, isn't there a possibility that a demon can be summoned from the outside?

When he was satisfied with the news that sacrificing the well-being of the Scorpion had improved the welfare of many, Eugese raised his hand again and asked the question.

"Considering the current continental situation. It won't be easy to go unnoticed and collect sacrifices, but the possibility itself is hard to rule out.

Is that the case...? Maybe they want to use a demon summoned from the outside to attack the dark district to secure a new offering, and even summon a second demon.

There is no creative economy.

'If it goes according to Eugene's words, will it be completely serious? Wasn't that just the beginning?'

Take it easy.

I wonder what's so good about summoning demons that they are doing such a labor at the end of the year or the beginning of the year.

"Serpens, even a low-level two

It must be difficult, isn't it?

I don't know. I've never seen a demon before...

Oh right.

There was a strong perception that Serpens could deal with demons in my head, so I was confused for a while.

Anyway, then it's better to wait in the dark area and hit it right away... But isn't summoning a demon just like a sacrifice? There must be a summoning magic circle or something?

So before they are ready

I need to see a solution. and . I'll have to think about what's next.''

Serpence frowned as if it had become troublesome.

It seems that he thought it was more comfortable to deal with the demon that summoned them as a sacrifice than to catch the criminals one by one.

But if Serpence doesn't appear in public, won't the demons notice?

Anyway, you know we're watching over there, too. We'll be prepared for that.

Not good news.

Our side has all of our hands exposed, but the other side is showing only half.

"By the way, where are you going to stay?"

No matter how much you guess we're hiding, you can't just openly kill us in the Scorpion's tavern.

If the hiding place is found, there is a risk of being attacked.

"At first, I was going to use one of the secret passages, but it could take a long time, so I had to go to a suitable shop.

I'm going to steal it.

Why is he talking like a villain?

I wish they paid more attention to word choice.

I looked back at Eugene and Winston with concern, but they had serious expressions on their faces.

I guess I was the only one who thought so.

There is a small pawnshop near the passage that physically connects to the outside. If you occupy it, it will be easy to receive news from both inside and outside.

You're talking about the passage that connects to the cave.

Seeing that it is nearby, it seems that it is not directly connected to that place, and you have to cross it a little bit.

"Is it equipped with the basics? A bathroom or something like that."

The owner of that place is also a person who lives in a dark area. It seems to serve the purpose of residence as well.

Perhaps it was with that in mind that the place was marked.

Because of that, the pawnshop owner suddenly lost both his job title and his house, but

After all, once the devil appears, it can no longer be used.

If you think that you are preparing your heart in advance, you will not lose anything... What do you mean?

"There is only one room, but there is a warehouse to store things, so if you clear it, there is enough space."

Those items must have been left by someone to borrow money.

However, once the amphitheater is cleared, these are things that can never be found again.

I think it would be ok to throw it away beforehand.

The problem of eating... It's unfortunate, but eating out seems to be difficult.

"I have no desire to eat out in the dark, so stop saying sorry, right?"

It is questionable whether there is a proper restaurant in such a place, and even if there is, I do not want to eat it because of the questionable ingredients as well as hygiene.

You can pack a packed lunch in advance and put it in your pocket pocket, well. I'll ask the kitchen for it.

"If you need anything other than that, pack it in advance."

How well-prepared am I to say that? Is that the person who carries a blanket in that subspace pocket?

Serpens stared at me with an unsure expression, then turned his head.

Sir Redford.

Yes, tell me.

To the master's call, Winston responded swiftly, like a freshly enlisted private. The angle is very tight.

By the way, I forgot to give this to the Lord.

"What is this ?"

A space pocket.

As Serpens spoke, holding out his subspace pocket, Winston's eyes widened.

I was a little surprised too.

'You haven't given it to me yet?!'

Does that mean that Winston was carrying a lot of luggage when he went to the Volta Mountains?

As much as his physique, the volume of clothes is a joke

this would not have been It is not something that can be fixed immediately if the armor is broken, so I would have brought a spare.

Besides, Winston hasn't put in any seeds yet.

Sogeun said he carried all his burdens by himself.

'Volunteering is good, but think about the welfare of Winston next door!'

When I shot him, he coughed a little as if he was stabbed in the conscience.

Hmm, hmm...! Everyone has one, so there is no need to feel burdened.

Ha, but such a valuable thing

Eww...

"It's always good to keep things simple. If it's too much of a burden, you can consider borrowing it for a while.

Serpens, who could have helped the simplification, left it alone, said.

Thank you. I will return it as soon as this is done.

Keep it with you Sir Redford for the time being. You may have to go on a long-distance business trip in a hurry as the demon worshipers grow stronger.

I can't afford to pack up.

Yes, I understand. Then I will know that and prepare thoroughly!

Winston accepted the space pocket with a look of disappointment.
