Duke, Please Repent! chapter 298

53. Duke's Recruitment Proposal (2)

After correcting Eugene's misunderstanding. I wondered what the intent of Serpens' 'lying' was.

The criminal who stole Edna and Anima's magic has already left the tower. turned to the evil forces.

Enemies hiding inside should be sifted out, but enemies outside are just enemies without worrying about it.

So there's no need to figure out who it is, and knowing doesn't change anything.

That's the guy's argument.

In that sense, why did you give up on your search is an excuse that fits Eugene's question.

'Is that really all? Serpents like no one else?'

Anima and Edna made their own magic that was not known to others, and the demons used them.

Of course, they are the first to be suspicious if they are known to the public.

'But to frame them. Or because their magic seems useful. What if the existence of the traitor who was stolen by the evil powers becomes firm?'

They just become victims.

They can legitimately be angry with the demons who have corrupted their memories.

I don't know how he stole the replacement magic, but the basis of the Living Dead magic is the magic created by me and the Anima. There's no way I can't recognize the magic formula that I and that child made, right?

Edna grinded her teeth in anger

all.

Seeing her like that, Euges was furious together saying that he could not forgive the actions of the demons.

Serpence pretended to sympathize and made a sad expression.

Like he doesn't doubt that I'm going to make a mistake.

I have no doubt that Serpens will not remove the doubts placed on others for no reason.

He obviously has other plans.

His deep-rooted suspicion.

And he uses it often. When considering the technique of giving a peek from behind after letting the other person get distracted with an innocent look... .

'What to consider, that's just it!'

Consolidate the existence of the traitor. Edna and Anima are acquitted.

Anima free from doubt, or Edna, or both. He was vigilant and waiting for evidence that he was evil.

'Wow, really, this bastard... .'

I felt the need to have an in-depth conversation with him on this subject.

all.

I was well aware that Serpens had a deep suspicion, but it was more than I expected.

The probability that Edna or Anima is a demon converges to 0%.

If at least one of the two was a demon, what happened in [Master of the Holy Sword] could not exist. Even the assumption is not made.

If I knew anything, Serpens would know for sure. Still, he doesn't doubt what the problem is.

It excludes reasons to believe and focuses on reasons not to believe.

At this point, I don't want to believe it, so I'm suspicious.

Eugene is a mask because he trusts people too much, and Serpens is a mask because he doesn't trust people too much.

'It would be nice to mix the two half and half.'

It's a sudden thought, but I think it's really going to end. especially the face

Conversations flowed and flowed while my head flowed through Samcheonpo.

Under Serpence's initiative, a demonic strategy briefing session was held about what the demon corrupted Edna.

What I already know. I guess I could do something a little different.

'So how far did you go? Did you even combine the beauty of Serpence and Eugenes?'

When good things are added to good things, synergy is activated, and things that are ten times better are born.

How bright would it be if you put the two together, which shine just by standing still?

Perhaps the god Luxmea was also blinded by that beautiful light and ceded the place of the gods.

Shion, come to your senses.

So in my head, I'm trying hard to combine the features of Serpens and Eugenes. Serpens said, closing my open mouth.

Just, the sound of teeth hitting each other woke me up from my thoughts.

"Are you very bored?"

No? It's really exciting, isn't it?

I'm bored of talking, so I'm lost in my thoughts

I thought you were god... . I guess you didn't listen to the conversation because you were engrossed in other exciting thoughts.

It wasn't something he was saying to me anyway...

Even so, it's not polite to drool and be dazed while others are talking.

Serpens pouted his lips and said. It seems he was sad that he thought differently when he said it.

Hagi-ya, I dance hard on the stage of the curator, but if my parents don't concentrate because they're bruised, of course I'll stand up.

I can't help but

I'm sorry. I'll be more careful in the future!

I wiped the saliva with my sleeve and apologized to him. The boy shook his head and let out a small sigh.

Anyway, for that reason, I will prepare to leave right now.

What's the reason?

After all the stories I knew were over, there must have been other stories.

let me call you In the future, I'll have to be really straight-forward.

The explanation of the 'why' that Serpens said was replaced by Euges.

In a nutshell, it is the content that 'somewhere in the blasted top, there may be data that can tell where the funds of the Rossio top went.'

'It seems that the demon's purpose of blowing up the top was not only for attracting attention, but also for the purpose of erasing evidence, or something?'

In addition, we are the captured old demons.

This must also be handed over to the Church of the Ferrol Territory.

While the explanation of 'that reason' continued.

Edna rechecked the magic circle before departure, and informed the former director and children of various cautions.

Serpens looked inside and outside the orphanage before leaving. And Winston went out to hire a horse.

As soon as Winston pulled the horse, he got up. In fact, having nothing to do, I and Euges are killing time chatting while waiting.

all.

Eugenes got up from his seat and put on several layers of his coat, unlike usual.

It must be because his physical function was weakened to the level of the criminal as he could not draw out the spirit power.

I understand there. But.

"Are you going, Eugene too?"

Putting on clothes is the same as getting ready to go out.

"The main building has completely collapsed. Even if I draw a drawing, it will be hard to see what was there. I went there myself.

It would be more helpful if you all went with me."

"Still you're not feeling well, are you okay?"

Even so, Serpens said after my body recovers. At the very least, I'd like to leave tomorrow, but as time goes on, it will be more difficult to find evidence.

Eugenes said.

The slender body of an elf was covered in thick winter clothes. Her complexion was still pale, but her expression was firm.

'Even if that's not the case, leaving it here... . You will be anxious.'

Even if she can't summon a spirit, she's still a marksman. However, it is not enough to deal with a demon simply by shooting a good bow.

As a Serpence, she could only be concerned.

Even if Eugenes hadn't agreed to go with him, he would have taken him for various reasons.

Because wherever he is, if it's equally dangerous, he thinks it's best to keep him by his side.

Above all.

'If anything happens here, Eugenes will try to save the children again by force... .'

As my thoughts went there, I noticed one change.

Serpence's overprotection target increased by one more.

Euges shouldn't have done that. No, really, what are you going to do now?

Yes?

Eugese blinked with a look that he didn't know what I was talking about.

it went

I didn't explain it to her. After all, if you experience his overprotection yourself, you will realize it.

It won't take long.

I also put on my coat tightly and went out to the front yard of the orphanage.

Winston was tying his horse to the wagon.

It was strange that he had rented a horse instead of a carriage while leaving the road with the patient.

'The word that said that I would carry a wagon in my pocket... . Were you serious?'

He pretends to be frugal by himself, but he is a guy who is secretly rich in money.

As much as the carriage he prepared, the appearance is common, but the inside is probably a studded version.

My gaze turned to the Serpence, which was pressed down on the hood. The guy slightly rolled up his hood and responded with a look of hope for praise.

At the same time, Edna went to pick up the demon and the manager.

I quickly stroked his hair a couple of times.

It's done.

Winston opened his mouth with a complex and subtle expression.

Soon after, Edna appeared. Behind her, a demon and a manager were floating around.

Then go.

Huh? Won't Winston go?

Yes. I have been commanded to guard this place.

Buying a horse and putting it on a wagon was all Winston's job. But he actually leaves him behind.

"Someone has to protect this place.

would you?"

yes... Long but... .

Didn't you make it look like I don't trust Sir Winston that much in the Darkside?

Because the kingdom of Prune is so cold, it seems that the whole 'direction' is frozen to death.

Serpence is sure to say that kind of nonsense.

It must have left the impression that he was unimportant to me. Yet, he was never conciliated. In many ways, Sir Winston was relatively unimportant to demon worshipers.

I have no choice but to lose."

Ah, yes...

If someone I don't know hears it, they'll think I've deceived the evil one on purpose to use Winston as a separate wing.

So if you aim, it will be on our side.

Serpens pretended to be sublime and said while holding the weight. It is the expression of a person who deliberately bears the sacrifice.

"Are there any chances of using Operation Yangdong again?"

"If we can afford that, we will focus our efforts on our side."

Somehow, he seems to treat himself like a raid boss.

In terms of demon standards, that's the way it actually feels, isn't it wrong?

The only ground rice that had been laid earlier was dog noise, but the conclusion was plausible.

One patient, one civilian, two prisoners. It's definitely a lot of luggage.

On the other hand, only Edna and Serpens can fight.

Defeat the pursuer, heal Eugenes, or break the demon's magical thread. There was a lot of consumption of Serpence's divine power.

It is also mysterious how much his physical strength and divine power have been restored.

Edna also drew magic circles all night, so it must have been quite exhausting.

'It certainly deserves to be considered an excellent opportunity for the devil.'

Suddenly, I started to worry about the lack of a coachman.

Convinced that the demons will attack, it may be to lighten the burden by even one.

But the children here are precious to Edna-san. At least one...

You left Sir Winston just in case, didn't you?

What more can I say about this?

Winston is guarding it, and the children say it's dangerous. All I could do was doubt Win Stone's abilities.

If you're really worried, it would be a good idea to hand over Shion's magic scroll to him.

Serpens said with a kind expression on his face. The way you care about others

As if it was good to look at, he made up a satisfied smile.

Even though he must be doing this because he has a vague idea. It's strangely disgusting and disgusting. I can't shake the feeling of being swept away by Serpence's pace.

'Me and Eugene are precious, Winston is not. Isn't that what you are?'

I think I'm starting to open up to Winston.

When I told him to hand my magic scroll over to Winston, I'm sure he

I think you're worried... .

Later, when the two of us were alone, there were more things to ask.
