Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 293

66. Tropical Resort (1)

The warp gate to the Demon World and the green crescent of the Great Plains was already open.

The two Dukes, Seiton and Alex, smiled bitterly as they looked at the warp gate disguised as clouds 500 meters in the air.

I couldn’t say they were enemies, but I felt pitiful that Deus’ men didn’t notice even though they were opening a warp gate so close.

The warp gate, as its name suggests, was shaped like a door.

Since there was no particular form to its shape, the warp gate in the sky above the Demon Realm resembled a white cloud.

There, when Deus memorized a special starting word, a gap opened and a bubble-like film formed.

The target is the green crescent moon.

The demon king Migo, the two dukes, Deus, and the siblings of the Holy Beach family stepped there.

I had only taken one step, but beyond that a completely different landscape unfolded

.

Alex said with admiration.

“This land is real!”

“It’s good?”

Deus asked right next to him, but Alex had no choice but to answer honestly.

” yes.”

“I said I liked it.”

“I have no choice but to admit it. If this land existed, the demons would be there right now…

Seiton cleared his throat and cut off Alex’s conversation.

“There’s no need to exaggerate, Kyo-Oh. It’s just land .

Besides, aren’t mugwort monsters living here?”

What Seiton pointed to was a huge herd of cows.

Deus snorted.

“What is he saying now? Why is that a monster? It’s food. I was going to hand over the cattle as a service, but if you keep talking nonsense, you get paid for that too. “If you say you can’t give it to me, I’ll kill you right now and turn it into fertilizer.”

“How long are you planning on making such childish threats?”

“Are you childish? Would you like to take a look at what I can’t do

? “How long will it take to kill that thing?”

This time Alex interrupted Seyton.

“Lord, will you please leave this place to me for a while? “I think I know better how to deal with the late king.”

Seiton nodded and stepped away.

If he said one more word, hundreds of thousands of cattle would be lost.

Alex bowed his head to Deus.

“We were rude. Please stop your anger.”

“You guys are so pitiful too. Who on earth told us to live such a miserable life?”

“What should I do? The Seven Dukes of the Demon World. I had a good look at the land. The rent of 100,000 gold per year cannot be said to be excessive. Instead, you must confirm two conditions.”

“Two conditions?”

“First of all, there is a deadline. Please set it for an indefinite period, but allow us to cancel it in any year we want.”

“Isn’t that too one-sided?”

“You might not need it someday. Even then, if you are bound by the contract and continue to pay rent, the Demon World will go bankrupt. On the other hand, if the King unilaterally terminates the contract even though the foundation has been laid, this will also be extremely difficult. Since you are lending farmland, please at least allow us to use it stably.”

“Well, you may not be sure at this point how many years you will need this land. “Then, in return, I will raise the rent a little bit every year.”

“That

would be proportional to the growth of your population, right?”

“Oh, that’s quite reasonable.”

“When have I ever been irrational?”

“…I don’t have the strength, so I hold back what I want to say.”

“Shut up. “Then what is the second condition?”

“Since you have lent us the land, you must allow us to use it. Wormwood monsters are still powerful and pose a great threat to ordinary demons. “I don’t think it has any value

as farmland if it is land that they frequently attack .”

“Do you want me to stand guard now?”

“You can’t rent land that you can’t use for 100,000 gold.”

“You guys organize a vigilante group or something.”

“We just made a truce with humans. The military is mostly stationed on the border with humans. Moreover, the border of the Demon World is not safe.”

“It’s a real mess.”

“It is not a matter for the King to talk about as if it were someone else’s business.”

“It’s my fault again.”

“You will not be free from responsibility in that you enjoyed traveling abroad rather than establishing a system during a time of chaos.”

“Did you first give him rights and force him to take responsibility?”

“Didn’t I give you the right to become king?”

“Someone like an outcast who can’t even cut a single piece. Putting responsibility for the well-being of the entire country on a scarecrow’s power. “Would you do it?”

“You did it all.”

“Because all my ancestors were idiots.”

Trying to be more confrontational, Alex

caught Migo’s attention and returned the conversation to its original position.

“If you willingly accept the two conditions, the contract will be concluded immediately.”

“Well, anyway, there’s nothing special about calling it a mugwort monster. Instead of trying to make a profit by playing around with the contract, let’s keep things clean with each other, shall we? huh?”

“Rather, this is what I want to say.”

The conversation between the working staff(?) ended and the writing of the contract began.

It took quite a long time to write the contract because we both tried not to lose even a single penny.

Meanwhile, Migo looked around with Signy Zeke and others.

“It’s such a beautiful place.”

Migo took a long breath.

It felt as if fresh green was filling my heart.

“Are you okay with your stay?”

Migo nodded when Zeke asked.

” yes.”

“No matter how much I inherited the devil’s blood, it’s only been two years since I was born. “You really went through a lot of hardships

.”

“That’s right. But I don’t feel like the clothes don’t fit my body. “It’s still not enough, but I have the desire to do better.”

“okay. “I can’t tell you to work hard because of your position, but try to do enough to satisfy yourself.”

“Because my uncle is a warrior.”

“Your mother is a saint.”

“I know. I have never forgotten for a moment that the blood of a warrior flows through my body. But now, the people I want to protect

are not humans, but demons.”

It was a really strange story.

A hero who protects the demons.

If Zeke had met Deus before, he would not have been able to understand Migo’s words at all.

Zeke laughed.

“He is also a warrior.”

“I heard that humans call my uncle the Black Hero. But I think that name suits me better.”

“It really is.”

“Don’t feel bad, uncle.”

“no. You are a child born with the destiny to become the Demon King. I just hope you consider it. That human life is also precious. “I can’t tell you to cherish it more than the demons you are trying to protect.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“And you must come to the resort island that day. We are planning to invite Regin and his family as well. Regin’s son is Berol. Berol van Hollybitch. “If nothing special happens, Verol will take over the zero generation of our Hollybitch family.”

“The family’s level will also be determined by Berol. Are you secretly aiming for a Japanese rating?”

“of course. “I don’t know how much talent Berol has, but he will be raised in the royal family, so at least he won’t be rated lower than pureblood.”

“Not even a year has passed since you were born, right?”

“It will turn into a stone soon.”

“Wouldn’t you be surprised to see your cousin, who is one year older, so tall?”

“If you think about it, you were born when the lump appeared on Signi’s back

.”

Zeke recalled the events of that day.

The Demon King was the most powerful creature in the world.

After Demon Jeong was formed into a young Demon King, it seemed that he gained strength on his mother’s back for 10 years.

Just like a shark, it is born and grows into an individual that can hunt right away. Otherwise, life would be so harsh that one would not be able to survive.

It seemed like the contract had ended in the meantime.

While his subordinates were making a fuss about having to go back, Migo said hello to his family and returned to the demon world.

A few days later.

Zeke passed through the warp gate with Signy.

The deep hood was pressed down. Signi covered her face with a cotton cloth.

Her cold hand grasped Zeke’s hand tightly.

I was next to the strongest brother in the world. Even

if a war were waged against all humans,

the ultimate winner would be Brother Zeke.

But it was different from that.

This was a land not far from Seonghwangcheong.

I wandered around the frontier for a long time, but at that time I was often riding in a carriage. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to mix with people like this.

They behaved like them among the common people.

As I walked along the main street of the royal capital, just a few kilometers away from Seonghwangcheong, it was not easy to calm my trembling heart

.

“Don’t be scared.”

“Brother…

“Because I value you as much as I protect this world. “I will protect you no matter what.”

“No. “Your brother must become a warrior.”

“are you okay. “The Holly Bitch family name is continuing well.”

Now Zeke has become collateral.

Hollybitch’s family name continues through Regin and Berol.

There was no limit to that.

The reason I was able to live as freely as I do now was thanks to Regin taking away my heavy karma.

On the one hand, I felt sorry for that, but I wasn’t worried because he seemed to be doing well.

A large statue was seen in the center of the intersection of the main roads of the capital city, which run east-west and north-south.

It was the shape of a hero who pulled a sword out of a rock.

It’s Regin.

Now, Regin’s popularity in the Verde Kingdom was skyrocketing.

As a great hero who brought about peace through negotiations with the demons.

None of the kingdom’s knights forgot how courageous and unparalleled Regin was in that battle.

In the shadow of the royal castle, Zeke hugged Signy as if to support him. And then he threw himself into the sky and climbed over the wall.

Zeke and Signy went down into the gap in the bushes.

I held my breath because I felt like I was being popular. At the back of the palace, there was a woman surrounded by several maids.

A table decorated with marble pieces of different colors was placed

on a platform made of white marble .

An expensive ceramic teacup and a dessert tray piled with fragrant cookies and fruit.

And even a beautiful woman enjoying it.

It all seemed like one painting.

But the main character was not that woman.

A small bed decorated with lace sways in the wind.

While the woman was enjoying tea and reading a book, she often looked inside the bed. Laugh and smile

again .

Zeke and Signy hid in the forest and watched with bated breath.

I already knew who my opponent was.

Queen April and Berlvan Holovich.

It had to be their hat.

Zeke held Signy’s hand and walked out to the back yard.

The queen’s guard warriors were surprised and surrounded La Zeek.

Although they were all women, they had excellent swordsmanship skills.

They mixed in with the maids and

had swords hidden in their sleeves.

I didn’t even ask about my identity. He immediately aimed a dagger at Zeke’s neck and launched a merciless attack.

There were four guards in total.

Each person’s swordsmanship was excellent, but even Zeke was impressed by their passing scores.

But the opponent was bad.

Zeke didn’t even touch the sword.

Asmodeus, the demon sword, thought about coming to the palace and hid it by wrapping it in a thick cloth several times. He

walked

bare-chested among the four guards .

I saw with my own eyes a powerful sword with an ever-changing trajectory and dodged it.

He was even holding Signy’s hand.

Signy walked among the sword dances as Zeke led her. Not a single sword could even graze her collar.
