Master’s Smile

Lesson 284: Rescue and the Devil

Although I am also concerned about the details of Crankheit's desire to push me down, I switch my mind.

Now is your chance when the bishop is asleep. Shall we rescue the demon clan that is captured now?

I look around for a moment.

I wonder where there is an entrance to go underground.

I can detect the reaction of people living underground, but I don't know the entrance to the underground.

"... isn't this the place?

Looking at Crankheit, she stood in front of the bookshelf.

And when I pushed a book back, a staircase appeared for the bookshelf to deviate and head underground.

Oh... did you have this trick...

... With that said, Crankheit was back in vegetables. You're busy.

"Are you all right? There are traps and watches inside..."

Crankheit grabbing my hand trying to get down to the basement quickly and saying that.

That'll be fine. That's what I was judging.

I don't know about the trap, but I wouldn't be able to keep an eye on him in such a trapped place...

Besides, the bishop wanted to create strong emotions for the devil, and he was scorching the devils.

If you had put a demon on the lookout who acts as he desires, he must be impatient and attacking you.

I guess that's why the bishop also imprisoned him in the basement of the building where he is...

"Oh, yeah."

When I tell him what I think, he snorts lightly.

Her vigilance is very important.

When you think it's over and you're alarmed, it's the most dangerous time.

... but why did you wind up so quickly when it came to black cloth when you were so vigilant?

Hmmm... the mystery deepens...

I go down to the basement thinking.

It's dusty and dusty and a place I don't want to stay very long.

After a short descent, a number of barns soon appeared.

Inside, there were some female demons.

"Mother, when can we get out of here?

"It's okay, I'll be out in a minute."

I heard such parent-child conversations from inside the barn.

If you look around in the big mess, the parents and kids seem to be the only two, so I guess Odilon's wife is them?

Um... do you have Mr. Odillon's wife and children -?

Like that, I'll ask gently.

"Huh!? What, what is it? Wow, I don't care what you do, just this kid...!

Hold the child hard, your petitioning wife.

... misunderstood.

That's weird. My smile means I'm not too alert to the first person I meet.

It reminds me of a time when I wasn't always allowed to expand my smile... Black history.

"Take it easy. We're not demons. Look, you're not wearing a black cloth, are you?

Crankheit wearing a cat again explains it. Thank you.

... but I was wearing it just now, wasn't I, you?

The woman's girlfriend, not the man, was convincing about what she told me, and she fades deliberately.

"Ho, really...?

"You're here to help!?

I turn to them and smile to reassure them.

Then, there were a lot of people who would be relieved.

Tomorrow...... no, their joy of being saved, which could have done terrible things tonight, was enormous.

"What the hell are you...?

O'Dillon's wife doesn't seem entirely convinced yet.

He stares at me and Crankheit with just a few mixed suspicious eyes.

I'm an Adventurer Guild person... Crankheit opened his mouth a little further than I tried to say.

"Hehe, rejoice. For the sake of you, the master of the new demon king has deliberately stretched out his legs here."

Crankheit introduces me with confidence.

No, well... yes, though. I'm exaggerating.

... Guild members, not just Crankheight, have been trying to raise my ratings lately, right?

I'm glad to hear it, but I'd rather not be too highly regarded as the Demon King.

When I quit, it's going to be great.

"The Demon King? Demon King, are you going to help us?

I snort at Odilon's child, who comes to visit me with a round eye.

"Wow......!

"Thank you...... thank you......!

Much appreciated.

No, well, I don't feel bad about being appreciated per se and I'm glad... what are the people who kneel and worship?

Is this what happens if I can save your life? I don't know because I've never had anyone else save my life. [M]

"How do you help out with these numbers? I make the demons in this whole village sleep with hallucinogenic magic?

Crankheit looked at the kneeling demons satisfactorily and asked me how I was going to escape.

Hmmm...... Wouldn't that make Crankheit's magic critical?

We are in the nest of demons. You can't run out of power.

This is the village that gave me information about this village with my transfer magic... I'm going to fly everyone to where Mr. Odillon was.

"Yeah, yeah. Are you okay? Transfer magic is advanced magic, and even if you just transfer one person, the magic will completely tease you..."

Crankheit, the vegetables are out.

Nevertheless, what Crankheit says makes sense, and I don't know how confident I am in the amount of magic I have.

But, well, if it's enough to transfer so many people to places not that far apart, it's never going to fall down right now.

Still, though they'll take the majority of the magic.

Besides, if it was hard, it would have been tougher to transfer Yut and Maho from the former brave party across the world.

Anyway, I tell them to move to the village with metastatic magic.

So stop worshipping. It's time to get up......

"Wow, I get it. Thanks!

I will finally gather the people who stood me up in one place.

I've marked that village with proper magic, and I'm fine.

I deployed a large magic formation and used metamagic. [M]

"Thank you, Demon King!

As he disappeared, Odillon's child laughed nicely and thanked him.

I waved and dropped them off.

... All right, shall we go outside then?

"Ugh, what about the demons up there?

To Crankheit's question, I come to a conclusion with a little thought.

I'm talking about Satanism, but I still can't recognize a religion in my country that commits such criminal acts.

Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was enough to lead the faithful... you can satisfy your own desires even if you bother others... what a religion, right?

But it's going to be hard to beat everyone here with my magic power right now.

"Well, I'll do that. Hey, I'll show you a good place!

Crankheit makes a fist grip with Fusu.

Oh, then let me ask you a favor.

Nevertheless, I need to be aware that Crankheit is not a ballistic combat type, either, like Reese or Ritter.

We're going up the stairs.

When I opened the bookshelf that was a hidden door again and went out to the room......

"You were late."

The bishop was awake.

He was sitting in a chair with a loud, spare grin.

From the bishop's body, something like black temper is seeping out.

... I don't know, I felt like something was different from him earlier.

"... that's crazy. My hallucinating magic. So, for a while... I'm supposed to have kept you awake for a year?

Hallucinations, magic, not strong?

Did you do the magic of sleeping for a year to push me down?

... But I didn't expect to be resurrected so soon with the magic of Crankheit manipulating powerful hallucinogenic magic... who really is it?

"Well, if you were just a human being, you wouldn't have been able to resist. But I'm not."

A black aura clumps around the bishop's body.

And his fleshy body was becoming more and more deformed, finally becoming the figure of another.

Its overflowing magic and temper are intimidating us strongly.

"My name is Adrimelok. one of the leaders of the devil."

It seemed like a powerful demon appeared.
