Demon Lord Wants to Laze

Lesson 1 Meet in the Woods

In a secluded forest.

This forest, which thrives with depression, seldom enters.

So I can only hear the bugs, the wind shaking the trees, and my footsteps.

It's like being isolated from the world.

I remember the illusion of being lost in a nightmare, but the sound of a trampling dead grass denies it.

- This is real.

I'm in a place like this to meet the demon king who lives in the woods.

And ask them to listen to their wishes.

Of course, there's no guarantee you'll listen to me.

I'm not even sure I'm in the world for a demon king in the first place.

Running through my head as anxiety reshaped.

Anyway, it's a suspicious rumor of origin I heard in the tavern.

It could be a Yotai tale with no roots or leaves.

If I think about it, my legs are going to stop, but there's nothing else to rely on. [M]

I chose to keep my hopes running on my chest.

Ever since I lost my father to war and my mother to an infectious disease, I have lived as a stray child in the city.

Speaking of my closeness, there's only one sister.

Living alone with Mireia, who is only ten years old, is never easy.

Every day prejudice, indifference, senseless violence and discrimination strike us.

Still encouraging each other, we have managed to endure it to this day.

Just one flesh parent.

A being that can be called one's own half body.

The sister was taken today.

Willad Chamber of Commerce.

Famous for being outrageous in this city, it was at the hands of slave traders.

You can't just tell those people to "give me my sister back" or something and get in.

So I spoke directly to the Knights under No.

After being laughed at with his nose, he tried to get rid of even the wild dog and was sent home.

Then I talked to the adults around me.

Covering his shoulders, he held his mouth together telling him to give up.

My fellow stray kids just pity me, too, and no one can help me.

Rumors I once heard rang in my head as I was being cornered.

About the demon king living in the woods.

The person who has absolute power.

"You know what? They say there's a demon king living in the back of the North Forest.

Numerous tree roots protruding from the ground take their feet and tired bodies are about to fall over and over again.

"If the Demon King likes you, then he'll get any wish fulfilled.

The stretched branches of the tree rub the face, and the weeds rub the skin.

At some point the whole body is filled with shallow wounds, the grasshopper juice smudges the wound and the pain runs.

"But if you touch me at all... they say there's eternal suffering waiting for you that won't end when you die.

His breath is cut off, his legs are exhausted and he doesn't lift up to Locke.

Still, there were no shards willing to stop walking.

I don't have time for this.

It was probably after noon when they took him away, and now the sun is already falling.

Tomorrow, they could be sold to distant cities.

If you think about it, your body will regain its vitality.

I don't want to let go of my sister easily.

Mileia, still young.

Mireia from just one family.

I guess I'm trembling with anxiety and fear these days.

Your brother's gonna call for help now, so just wait a little longer!

A moment goes by in the woods where there is still no change.

Hurry, anxiety, fatigue.

In my heart, I get a gut chug.

- If my heart breaks, it's over, I won't give up till the end!

That moment I tried to push my anxiety back.

At once my vision opened up like a mockery of the movement of my heart.

I wonder if you would even call it a great plain in the woods, where the meadow as far as I could see was in front of me.

Every time the wind blows, the grass grows quietly.

Shh.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah...

Shhh.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah...

Beautiful and even world.

My rough breath is terribly out of place, like a disconnected being from the world.

I just feel a little embarrassed.

With that in mind, I suddenly heard a relaxed voice.

"Mm-hmm. Is it a customer?

I didn't feel hostile from the person, but I got up to it.

A few steps away, a beautiful woman is just sloppy.

With a soft grin that doesn't make you feel hostile.

Because of carrying the moonlight, the woman looked fantastic and unrealistic.

When the hell did you show up?

Nobody was supposed to be here until just now......

I couldn't get the words out well because of the upset and dry throat.

The woman said, 'Oh...?' And the child is decapitated.

I thought it was a relaxed voice everywhere.
