Dungeon Defense (WN)

Marvas strokes his beard.

“Can he attend right away? ”

“Yes, Torquel is waiting outside the ballroom. Call me anytime...! ”

“I agree, except if no witnesses are present within five minutes, the hearing shall be dismissed. And I declare the Dantalians victorious at their own discretion. ”

Pymon bows his head in gratitude. She rushes out to the ballroom exit. To find his dedicated agent who is waiting somewhere. The Demon Kings chase her back with their eyes, without stopping chattering. The hearing paused temporarily.

I was cold in my chest.

‘Idiot.’

Pymon has chosen the worst option. Thinking about it, Torquel gave Pymon the information in spite of the merchant's obligations. In short, Torquel is Pymon's secret operative.

If the person who provided the information is characterized as' Torque 'under the ambiguous name' executive of the Chamber, 'then the breach of the merchant's obligations from that moment on will become a Torque individual, not the whole of the Kunkuska Chamber of Commerce. Now, putting his name on his lips is like putting an end to Torquel's life as a merchant.

That was the ninth highest pymon, a woman who was interested in the survival of humankind and simply couldn't take care of one person to become her ally.

There was also an event like that. As the warrior is in danger, Pymon comes forward with a desperate effort to smash the trap prepared by the other Demon King and escape the group. As a player, "That's right, Pymon! It was a cheerful scene, 'A great virgin!'

I thought differently.

As a Maine, a warrior is a nightmare mass that is nothing compared to a plague. 72 Demon Kings are dying at the hands of one Human.It's a disaster for the Black Jockey.

The difficulty of the game rises sharply from the time the protagonist breaks through to the top 30. According to the settings, they feel threatened and invade the human world largely. However, Pymon, who is in the ninth rank, gets in the way with several Demon Kings, and he is defeated by the Human-Demihuman Alliance because the Horns are divided even though he is much more powerful than Humans.

In the end, Maine loses her Node on the ground and completely retreats to the horse system. And the devil king's anxiety is gone, and he loses hope for unity and peace, and he is forever trapped in the wheelchair of a parenting ceremony. The strong take it all, and care for others is in the rubble.

As a player, you're a virgin.

‘Mae kook-no. No, I'll have another drink. ’

According to Barvatos, the eighth Demon King, Pymon is more than a whore.

It's better to beat the devil's army for a good reason like Ivar of the Kunkuska Parliament. Pymon fights because he likes warriors, just because Humans are fun. That's why I've always hated the character Pymon.

You stand still, waiting for Pymon to return. Honestly, I wanted to go back to Lapis and sigh, but the facilitator Marvas was standing right next to me, closing his eyes and holding the weight, and I felt nervous to do whatever I wanted.

‘Dammit. I need something to touch. ’

I should go to the store tomorrow and buy some sticks or something. Having such a weird time, thankfully, the horse opponent appeared by himself.

“Hey, you. The sequence is low, and the words suck pretty good. ”

Barvatos, the Demon King, has been picking on Pymon since before the hearing started. Dressed in a red dress, she often walked in front of me. Even when I was a child, my appearance made me feel a little awkward because my walk or atmosphere was adult.

“I'm sorry, Lord Barbatos. ”

Anyway, he was a very tall man by the way. I was thankful that there was a noble Demon King who was able to do me any favors now that I was forced to confront Pymon. I said as much respect as I could.

“Oh -- okay, okay. I hate that kind of example. ”

She shakes her hand as she twists her mouth, "Eek."

“The Demon Kings aren't that tough these days! I used to share a fireball instead of a greeting as soon as I met him. I don't even know how to be friendly. ”

...... It was strange that a girl who looked like a little girl was so young these days. For reference, Barbato was also a very thick character. I used to get good at praising SM Lori or whatever on target fansites, but I honestly couldn't understand what was going on.

“Thanks to you, it's been a long time. Ahh, that bitch is a dis-assembler! ”

“You don't seem to have a good relationship with King Pymon. ”

“Oh, what is it, Your Highness? ”

Barbato's small, pale eyebrows frown.

“Out of respect for not being a baby. Did you hit your head on a pole? Hey, aren't you the Demon King? ”

“That's right.”

“Yes, I like that the answer is short. Hey, you're the Demon King and that bitch is the Demon King. Why do we have to respect each other? I really don't understand. Are you her servant? ”

“No, I'm not.”

“No, you're not! You're here and there, so I don't know if I came to Valpurgis' night or to my castle of horrors. ”

She was a girl with a pretty face, but her tone was cruel and not at all appropriate. What can I say? I really don't like the look of Barbato... but he was like a gangster boss, like a mafia boss.

“I'll call you Barbato from now on. ”

“Just say the half word, kid. You think I'm older than you? Go fuck yourself. ”

“Haha.”

I laughed because I was funny. He was a character who had been a hemispheric trait since birth in the game. This kind of person establishes his or her own authority by breaking authority even though he or she is in a high position. By imparting the impression that I am strong enough to squash authority around.

Barbato's favourite method was relatively simple.

I reached out my right hand.

“Okay, Barbato. I am Dantalian.”

“Heh? You're really saying that? ”

Barbatos grabbed my hand. She wears white gloves. The touch of the luxurious side gently entered my hands.

“Of course, should I listen to the eighth level of nonsense? ”

“What?"

Barbato smiles. You seem to immediately understand my intention of not using your words in return, but rather taking your words seriously.

“Son of a bitch, did you really put olive oil on your tongue? At least this much will show the taste of bitterness on Pymon's cheek. Okay, my name is Barbato. Call it what you like, kid. ”

I shook his hand. Along with him came a hologram.

The Demon King Barbato has an affinity for more than 5.

Yes. Barbatos has a fondness for brave and honest men. Barbato was also quite fond of the warrior who fought upright without any complaint. It was a favor to the enemy and his allies.

Apart from the support of the Loricon, I didn't hate the Demon King Barbato. He was one of the Demon Kings who fought the most actively against a group of warriors. She pushes the group into trouble, regardless of their means and means.

‘Kill him now. Son of a bitch. ’

She was even contrasted with Pymon in many ways. If Python wanted to make a deep impression on the warrior by asking for a kiss until the last moment, Barbato was furious and told to kill him quickly. An illustration appeared on the game screen the moment I said, "Son of a bitch," and amazingly Barbato was smiling coolly. She's not really the gangster girl from the movies.

“Listen up. Pymon, she may be a bitch, but she's not the one who bothers people the most. Do you know what that means? ”

“Don't worry about it. Make sure you finish Pymon." ”

“Wow!"

Barbato raises his eyes. She tugs along the edge of Marvas' clothing, standing quietly next to her.

“Inspiration! Look at him! He understands very well. ”

“…… I'm lost in thought. Don't interrupt."

“Damn, why is he only 71st so far? Even if I could live with that, I'd be in the top 40 by now. What did you live for? Inspiration. You should raise him. You've been whining like an inspiration since the 50th place hasn't been filled with kids lately. ”

“You've claimed the Demon King should be standing alone. ”

Marvas is still blindfolded, but his eyebrows twitch.

“And don't interrupt. ”

“That's what I'm talking about, you son of a bitch. It was nice to meet a kid who can only deal with bastards like Park. I love to hold the weight. ”

Oh, my eyebrows twitched again.

Still, I closed my eyes wide. Pride contest in a strange place, this guy.

“Whatever. Don't worry about the back. Do it. If any of those whores retaliate, I'll stop them. Okay? ”

“Thank you.”

“Oh, you don't think I'm doing you a favor? I'm trying to drown a whore who doesn't want to be shoved up her nostrils. Good luck, Dantalian or something. You'll live a long time if you do well because your personality looks pretty stable. ”

Then Barbato swipes his back and walks over. It was as cool as it was when it came. To be honest, I had no choice but to admire it. Whenever I see people showing off their perfect self-satisfaction like that, I don't even know how to praise them.

Marvas sighs as she leaves.

Well, roughly what the relationship is between the two. The conversation between Marvas and Pymon was postponed, presumably because he values tradition very much. With that personality, paparazzi like Barbatos over there is poison.

“... you're getting five. ”

Marvas opens his eyes.

My God. I closed my eyes not because I had an idea, but because I counted exactly five minutes inside. He seems to be getting more and more hands-on.

“Since there were no witnesses, this hearing should be dismissed. ”

Marvas glances at the front door of the ball.

“We're running out of time, so let's move on. ”

At that moment, two young men walked under the marble gate.

One is Pymon. The other one was a Goblin Torquel much taller than Pymon. Torquel looks very serious and callous. Pymon, on the other hand, was filled with joy.

“Here! This is Torquel. ”

Pymon lets out a bold shout as if they've won.

“Ask this person anything. Torque will assure you that Dantalian has spread the plague! ”

“Hmm.”

Marvas heads toward Ivar. It was to confirm whether the executive of the Kunkuska Parliament was correct. Ivar bows politely. Marvas nods.

“Very well, old Goblin. You were taken as a witness at this hearing." Step forward. ”

“It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty. ”

Torquel is out in the middle of the ballroom. He was carrying a staff twice his height, like the last time he saw it. He leaned against it and bent his back to all sides.

I felt that he had a very splendid mind.

‘…… hmm. ’

I was somewhat curious. To be honest, I didn't think Torque would turn things around. It was true that I did not spread the plague. I couldn't say it wasn't the best of the Kunkuska Council - the world's best lie detectors are right in front of me.

Torquel, however, held courage in his heart like a knight in battle. I felt like I had already made some decisive decisions.

"How the hell? ’

The responsibility of the case, whether she wants to or not, was passed from the Kunkusa Council to the Torquel Individual. In addition to this, Ivar, another top executive in Kunkusa, is currently stuck in my threats. As Torquello, it was a matter of no help to the Council.

No matter how I turned my head, I couldn't think of anything Torkel could do. The panel has been decided. Those who don't know it are probably just a few, including that stupid Pymon.

I was anxious that Torque might have a number of spleens that I didn't know about. There was nothing more I could do. You can't threaten Marvas, the moderator, and force the hearings to end.

“Very well. Did you say that Dantalian was the sole source of the plague outbreak?“ ”

“Yes, that's what the sign said. ”

“To what degree did you say that? If you have proof, give it to me. ”

“Yep.”

Torque raises his torso. He looks at Marvas and talks nonsense. Pymon smiles at you from behind.

It didn't take ten seconds for the smile to turn into a shock.

“I must have told King Pymon that Queen Dantalian caused the plague. But it was a lie. It was a red trap.”

“Well, what! ”

Pymon is appalled. Marvas looks at Torquel, not moved by his expression. It was probably a measure of whether the other person's words were false or true. Whatever it was, Torquel quickly moved on from what he had to say.

“There was a little connection between me and Dantalian. When you found a medicine that worked for the plague, I found the value of the product in you. That's why I personally approached the king and suggested that I be your concierge from now on. But he said he already had a dedicated agent, and he rejected me. ”

Torque raises his staff and points to the corner of the ballroom.

“That's the girl right there. Lapis Lajuli. He's a minor employee. I was profoundly insulted by the thought of being rejected by a minor employee. A merchant who's been here for a hundred years. The refusal of His Majesty Dantalian greatly hurt my pride as a merchant. So…. ”

“Torquel! What are you talking about, Torquel! ”

Pymon's screaming now.

“Look at the girl! Look at this girl right now! ”

“…… That's why I decided to take revenge on King Dantalian. I also accepted that this was a challenge for merchants in Kunkusa. But in many ways, they decided that they needed some kind of retaliation. ”

I've learned Torque's intentions around here.

― ― The scary one.

I once looked back at what Ivar was doing. Ivar closes his eyes quietly. Damn it! I wanted to fart. That's how it turned out.

“I approached King Pymon and said, Dantalian wants to exterminate Humans. It was Dantalian who created an epidemic that never existed. There's been an assassination at the hands of King Andromelius, so if you put your foot on it and fall, you could do damage to Dantalian. How are you, Lord Marvas? Is there a lie in what the plaintiff said? ”

“Hmm.”

“I dare say no. Of course, because the plagiarism only tells the truth. All of this was a trick that I did alone. The plaintiff personally held a grudge against King Dantalian, and also acted to harm him. I was also the one who leaked the information of His Holiness Dantalian, a client of our Kunkusa Council, to His Holiness Pymon. If King Pymon is guilty, he is guilty of only trusting the words of this old man. I have all these faults, and they are very humble. ”

There was no room for a hand.

“With my life, I want to forgive you for this. ”

As soon as it's over.

Torque pulls the dagger out of his chest and stabs him in the middle of his neck. The Dagger pierces the thin neck of the old Goblin too easily. The tip protrudes from your neck like a thorn.

The little Goblin body falls to the floor of the cold ballroom.
