Chapter 22.2

(EP-22.2) Angmar #2

022 – Peaceful Angmar #2

People almost went crazy at the sight. The image of them frothing at the mouth while holding their torches up and down made a terrifying atmosphere...

“Burn! Burn!”

“Throw her into the flames!”

The fake nun, whose identity was exposed to be an Imp, shouted.

“Wh, what’s wrong with being an Imp!? I, Marmar, didn’t do anything wrong! Rather, I do volunteer work, help people and give legal advice-.”

“Silence, you devil!”

“Arr, Garr, Imp, burn the Imp!”

“Raise the stakes, set it on fire!”

The Imp was a demon.

They were Angmar’s pawns and were a rare race like the Nymphs. However, now that the Demon King was subjugated, Imps could be said to be in danger of extinction.

At least, that was how it was portrayed in the ‘Villain Hunter’ novel.

A mischievous being with the appearance of a young girl.

Most of them were Mages of the Demon King’s army, so the fear and hatred of Imps was still deeply ingrained in people’s minds.

Looking at the current situation, that seemed to be the case.

The Imp nun then shouted like it was unfair.

“What is the difference between me and a Nymph? It is politically wrong to be discriminated against just for having a tail! Meanwhile, the Nymphs have a relief foundation to protect themselves!”

“Hey, how can you and a Nymph be the same!?”

At the cry of someone, the Imp fiercely retorted.

“Then, what’s the difference between me and a Nymph?”

“Um. Ummm....”

The man who claimed that Imps and Nymphs were different put his hand on his chin. He pondered for a while, then cautiously said.

“... The difference between an Imp and a Nymph, um... Nymphs don’t have tails.”

“Is that it?”

People then echoed.

“That’s right! Nymphs have no tails!”

“Yeah, Imps have tails!”

So, was there no difference between an Imp and a Nymph other than the tail?

As I was organizing the new information, the captured Imp shook her head helplessly.

“Ugh, it’s useless to say anything to you idiots...”

The group left just like that...

I wondered where they would go and what they would do next, but I was too exhausted in many ways and had no motivation to pursue them.

Now, all that remained in this wide open space was me and Aira, who gave a long empty sigh. Oh, there was also the Imp Marmar.

Aira then said.

“I wanted to see the Imp on fire... *Sigh* So, Theo, what are you going to use the Imp for?”

I had no idea.

But I couldn’t say that, so I decided to give a roundabout answer.

“I thought it would be nice to have a servant who could do various chores.”

Since I “bought” her, I had to make it work somehow.

However, the Imp wasn’t so accommodating.

“You can’t buy people’s rights with money! And don’t touch my tail!”

“Interesting, she really has a tail.”

Aira looked at the slender tail, which soon slipped into the torn skirt and started wrapping itself around the Imp’s waist.

It looked like a belt.

Aira, who was watching the scene, said.

“I got to see more of the outside and feel better now. Theo, let’s go back.”

“Ah, yes, at your service. Marumaru, let’s go.”

“First of all, it’s not Marumaru, it’s Marmar. Also, know that I am not your slave. I just don’t have anywhere to go, and that’s the only reason why I’m following you!”

I was wondering what to do if she ran away.

Fortunately, she said that she had nowhere to go. But even if she fled, people might just catch her right away. In fact, the Imp would just get hurt attempting to do so.

“We just have a bilateral contractual relationship driven by debt. The contract between us will be null and void when the full amount owed is paid!”

Jojaljojal.

She babbled loudly while following us. My impression of her was a tough nut to crack.

Was she smarter than I thought?

Well, a smart servant was good.

When Aira and I were about to enter the palace, Marmar was startled. She looked like a cat that was about to be dumped in the bathtub.

“Hey, you can’t go in! The scary Witch Queen lives there!”

What was she saying now?

Oh yeah, I hadn’t told her who we were...
