Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 12: Hubbarkere's culprit

"... are you going again? Celeste pushed me to be careful."

Erica walks along a path that students can break. As usual, Hakto remembers the majestic Celestia of the other day and tries to keep her in mind.

"Let's go. My sister just told me not to forgive you. I wasn't told not to learn a sword."

Erica and Hakt carry their feet to the glass instead of practicing Shiloh, Hakt's father, after school.

Hakt couldn't leave Erica alone in the form of an escort.

"You don't have to tell me that, do you?... I don't know if I'm mad at you."

"Then don't follow me. I can't afford it. It's only two days before the game."

Through the artistically decorated hallways of the school, the roads opened by the noisy students split into left and right.

A sword, a gift from a glass, is shaking on his waist.

The noise of Celestia is special, and the yellow voice of the beautiful girl Erica and the beautiful boy Hakto is also understated in this school, where there are many people of noble status.

"... I wonder if I'm a vague princess."

"I'm free."

"I'm telling you the same thing about the exposed demon I caught last time... it hurts"

Erica kicked me lightly on the tire.

From next door, it is seen with a smile that friendly fiancées are playing with each other.

Repeating such exchanges, Hakto's persuasion ended in vain and he arrived at the salon.

♢♢♢

"... I should have told you that I have nothing to tell you anymore. And my salon is closed today."

The glass salon was being renovated, and now the salon was using hammers and fleas and engraving the wood.

Such a surreal figure of a manly servant wearing a tuxedo suddenly jumps into sight and the two of them are stimulated by a laughing bag.

"See? There's no such thing as a glass..."

"Well...."

The glass was meant to tell me to go far away, but instead of leaving, I get lightly irritated by the laughing couple entering.

They say they work hard to build employees of the future Demon King Castle and disposable Demon King armies.

"... let me ask you something for today."

Place fleas and hammers without expressing emotions and stand up to respond.

"Well, it's settled. I want to push you toward your upcoming game in two days!

Erica said with an innocent smile...

I taught myself the sword while the glasses were shining, but this princess thought what the salon was, and soon she wanted to clear her grief with the magic kingdom.

"This is not a training gym, and there's nothing to teach you anymore. I'm sure you can already win unharmed."

"Eh, let's make it easier for you to win. Is there any technique that won't hurt even if you get hurt?

Looking down at the princess with her own knife.

A strange guy misses you and sighs.

But thanks to this princess, the Mac family's rice sales at the salon have been slow lately.

I will try something that I came up with aggressively that might be convenient for a little bit.

I can't help it.

"Do you have one!?... oh?

The glass takes Erica's hand.

May the gentleman be a lady.

"Huh, what? Suddenly!?

For some reason, the slightly illuminated Erica's hand slammed and crushed.

"Does it hurt?

"I want it! Of course!

Then crouch down and chop on Erica's shin.

"I'm coming!!

"What do you think?

Ask Erica to hold her legs down and jump. I can see my underwear, but I ask while trying not to look at the glass.

"It hurts so much!!

"What's the pain here?

Points to the back of Erica's hand that she just hit.

"... maybe it doesn't hurt much. Uh, why?

"I dispersed the pain and relieved it. Both pain temporarily becomes less noticeable. This is called the third law of Kronow."

Say something like that to Tequito.

Hmm, it's good for you.

"Su, wow...."

Regardless of the laws that are simple knowledge, Erica and Hakto are impressed, even though they only deceived the first shot with the second shot, which is stronger than the first.

Glass is quite worried that they won't be fooled by anyone other than themselves.

"... oh yeah. I'll let you know in advance because I'm going to yell at you later, but I'm off duty tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Hmm? Is there something wrong? Ah, yes. I have to give you the ticket to the game. --Ha!"

It seems that Erica has already confirmed that Glass will come for her support the day after tomorrow.

I don't know if I'm actually going, but I can't refuse it, so I'll take the glass for now.

"... so what does Mr. Glass do on holidays?

Even Hakto asks.

I feel uncomfortable being interrogated about my private life, but I will give you an excuse that I have prepared.

"The rice is running low, so I will go to the acquaintance's house where I left it. If you buy tea leaves and pickle them, you're going to spend most of it on them."

In fact, tomorrow, I was supposed to go to the pub of Wang Tuichi's informant and intermediary in order to hear the details of the day job I received from Ashra.

"Hmm. By the way, you still have tea?

……

Well, well, Mr. Glass. Why don't you take a break, Mr. Glass?

♢♢♢

That's why I got a part-time job from Asla.

The instructed date and time was quite late, so I was working undercover at Wright School, but I promised. Let's get this over with.

Returning from the servant glass to the usual 15-year-old Chrono, he walks through the gates of the old tavern.

They're wrapped like turbans in a way that covers their faces, so they all look at each other.

However, without any particular problems or tangles, her gaze was removed and she immediately returned to drinking in the inner ring.

Some of them looked barbaric, but they were quietly drinking at tables and counters.

Everyone's still focused on me.

Make an unexpected gesture and I'll get to the end of the counter.

Stay as far away from the old man next door as possible.

"What can I get you?

"'Hubbarkale's culprit', right? I'm here to talk to you about tomorrow."

……

Decide coolly and discover the identity of the bar master.

"--The second person to see me for the first time was you. Let me buy you a drink. Hey, give me thirty years."

The neighbor's grandfather approached with a firm foothold. I am ordering from the master immediately.

"If I can't do this, I can't take this job.... is that right?

... this way... yeah, I knew it, I'm not mistaken. This grandfather was a second candidate.

"... my eyes are confident and powerful. I'm sure it's a big deal. Mmm, you're right. But this time, I don't know the source of your request. Even with the power of this" Hubbarkale Blame ". I don't think he's from behind....."

Sitting next to me, I quickly started talking about the content.

Am I wearing glasses, or am I out of the whole tavern consciousness? Apparently, all of these guys are guards for this grandfather.

"It could be a trap."

"I think it's highly likely. But for the people in the front, it was a way of asking someone who knew this trick very well. So recently, I was given a gift by a reputation owner."

In front of me, with a glass of red wine from the Master... a bag full of gold coins is placed.

……

"As you can see, the amount is also quite large, and the advance is well prepared. After the request, they say it's already half."

Wow.

It's going to be foolish to work seriously.

"So, what's it about?

"... uuhn, that's not an unusual pattern... but I'm just keeping things and places like encryption..."

While saying it's not unusual, I rub my beard and say it looks pretty spicy.

"Why don't you make it clear?

"Then it's sweet to say, but... the place is..."

It was an unexpected place.

"The Imperial Castle. Tomorrow, it's where the game is."

I drank the wine all at once.
