## Chapter 1309 – The Demon Race

Her face was flushed, and she was twisting her body as if trying to wriggle away.

“Ugh…”

This was clearly a sign of being in heat.
I couldn’t help but wonder why she only showed this side of herself in front of me.

“What’s wrong? What’s going on?”

Did she get like this because I hadn’t given her attention for a few days?
To suddenly be in heat outside the house?

“Are you okay?”

I touched Karin’s shoulder, who was standing closest to me.

“Hyaat!”
“Hyaat?”
“Ah, no… it’s not that…”
“Then what is it?”
“I was just thinking… you’ve grown up so much.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Me, grown up?
Karin kept trying to avoid my gaze.

“No, it’s just… too… Is it even allowed to be this cool…”
“Cool?”

It’s not like Kim Kat being cool is a new thing. Every day is a peak of handsomeness, coolness, and charisma. Why this sudden reaction?

“It’s just… what you said earlier, and your attitude… it’s all just too…”
“Hey, why can’t you speak properly, sis?”

Karin, who is more than ten years older than me, stammered like a young girl, looking completely flustered.

She’s totally in heat.
If I checked her panties, they’d probably be soaked.

“Kat! Really! You were so cool just now!”

Hilde shouted at that moment.

“It’s only natural that I’m cool.”

The word “cool”…

Exists only for me. The same goes for handsome, strong, and victorious. All those words exist for Kim Kat.

“That overwhelming declaration! And the way you overpowered the nobles with your words…! It was so cool!”
“Yeah… that’s right. I think so too…”
“Ah.”

It seemed my overwhelming declaration from earlier had really struck a chord with them. Well, it’s only natural. It was probably the first time I’d shown them that side of myself.

“Hehehe, ah. So that’s why you’re like this. Well, I guess it can’t be helped. Feel free to admire me a little more.”
“Even that conceited attitude is cool in itself…!”

I patted Hilde on the shoulder.

“Yes. It’s definitely an overwhelming power. Seeing you do that to the real nobles… it really makes me feel like you’re that kind of person now.”

Liztina was also deeply impressed.

Meanwhile, Claudia was wiping tears with a handkerchief.

“Kat… you’re really… the strongest… I mean…”
“An absolute being?”
“Yes! An absolute being! That’s the feeling I got! No one can defy Kat!”
“Is that so touching?”
“Yes!”

Claudia’s energy was very high.

“I’m touched too!”

Anyway, let’s save the rest of the stories for when we get back.

* * *

“Actually, even here isn’t completely safe, you know.”

Just because it’s my house doesn’t mean it’s particularly safe. The airships just haven’t appeared in the capital yet, but if they did, everything would be smashed to pieces.

Why the hell aren’t these bastards attacking the capital?

I thought about it for a moment, but there was only one conclusion. The demon race bastards were planning to show off their power to the fullest and then make a diplomatic gesture. There’s no other reason why they wouldn’t have neutralized the capital.

What are they trying to do with diplomacy? After destroying everything? Don’t tell me these bastards… are planning to enslave the surviving humans or something? That’s one concept I absolutely cannot tolerate. If that’s their goal, I’ll crush them all.

Of course, I’ll crush them all even if that’s not their goal.

Anyway, it seems like they’re hesitating a bit because I destroyed their fleet, contrary to their expectations… but it won’t be safe forever.

I always kept the capital in mind whenever I destroyed a fleet.

“If it’s a narrow range… I can somehow stop them.”

Risha, who has been feeling down lately, said.

“Yeah. I feel safe with Risha around. But Risha, are you still feeling down?”
“I cannot say… that I am not. My heart is not at ease.”

Risha sighed as she replied.

Seeing Risha like this really broke my heart. Those demon race bastards… daring to make Risha feel uncomfortable.

“Risha-nim… you really don’t need to worry so much. It hurts my heart too.”
“Risha-unni, I told you not to worry so much…”

Everyone seemed worried.

“Risha, come here.”
“…”

Risha sat next to me, and I stroked her ear as I spoke.

“Are you having a hard time because of the demons? Is it because of what’s happening in the Demon World?”

After a moment of silence, she replied.

“I… do not particularly attach any meaning to the Demon World. The life I have lived here is longer than the life I lived there. And more than anything… you are here now, are you not?”

Risha reached out and touched my face.

“Even so… the fact that they are committing such acts of destruction makes me feel so sad… I cannot help it.”

The sins committed by her own race.
That made Risha sad.

“Only you can stop them.”
“Only I can stop them. I always say this, but rest assured. I will stop the demons before they commit any more evil deeds.”
“…Thank you.”
“And also, the Demon King Pelazer.”
“…”

Risha paused for a moment.

“I will make him stop.”

Definitely.

“Will you do that for me?”
“Yes.”
“…”

Risha smiled faintly.

“Indeed… Hehe, there was no better choice than becoming your woman.”
“A successful bet.”

It’s not just Risha.
Anyway, Risha spoke with a slightly refreshed tone.

“I do not know where my father and the other demons have been living for the past hundreds of years, or what they have been thinking. But surely… it must have been a fierce life. Filled with madness.”

I guess so.
They’ve been waiting for a whopping 500 years.

“It is time for my father to rest now.”
“It’s time for him to rest. I’ll make him rest.”

Pelazer is an old man who’s completely senile.

And that old man’s identity is none other than the Demon King. We don’t need to respect the elderly when it comes to the Demon King. No gentle wheelchairs. No caring nurses. There’s no other way but to give him rest in the name of death.

Because.

There’s no transcendent nursing home for senile Demon Kings… in this world. A mad strongman must be destroyed. And even if there were such a nursing home, Kim Kat would destroy it.

That’s who Kim Kat is.

“Haa. Anyway, I’m so glad you’re smoothly destroying the fleets. We would have been in big trouble if it weren’t for you, Kat.”

I grinned at Liztina’s words.

“That’s right. The kingdom is still standing thanks to you, Blackie.”
“You think so too?”
“The way I see it, Blackie needs to properly state that he protected the entire kingdom when this war is over.”

Winia looked at me and asked.

“Blackie, you’re going to do that, right?”
“Yeah. Of course, I will.”
“You gotta demand everything in situations like this. The kingdom has to give you everything you ask for.”
“Winia. It’s not about that.”
“Huh? What about Blackie?”
“It’s not that I’m `asking for` anything.”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s just that it’s mine.”
“Ah.”

There’s no need to ask.

“Seeing Blackie talk like that, he’s such a show-off, really… It’s amazing that it’s actually reality.”
“It’s all thanks to my power.”
“That’s true too… Haa… I really don’t know how you can be so strong. Even the airship’s cannon fire can’t compare to the mages, but Blackie is even stronger than that.”

Karin nodded at those words.

“He’s really strong. To the point where everything he said earlier was accepted. Really, one word from my husband… and the nobles and the king all lowered their tails. But I can understand that… if I had a tail, I would have lowered it right there.”
“Karin-nim?”
“No, really.”

What is she talking about?

“Hehehe, no. What is this unni saying?”
“It just means he had that much charisma. To the point where this unni lowered her tail. I’m so proud of that. This is my man.”

Karin nodded, smiling contentedly.

More than that, a tail, huh.

“Be even more proud.”

I am infinitely proud.

“Ah. Right. Kat-nim. This is the damage report I received from Kadia-nim.”

As she said that, Hilde took out a piece of paper.

“You received that?”
“Well, of course, she’d give it to me. It’s going straight to you, Kat-nim.”
“Show it to me.”
“Yes.”

As I took the paper, Hilde began to speak.

“It seems the demon fleet’s goal was to destroy major cities. The damage is quite severe in the larger cities.”
“What about Isbant?”
“They say they can’t get any news from there…”

I guess so.

The roads are almost paralyzed, so it will take some time for news to arrive from there. I couldn’t go there myself due to the capital’s defense and time constraints.

I hope Eliza is safe. And I have to ignore those bastards like Kopson, Lina, and Mariel? I hope the Isbant young lady is safe too, but she’s not the type to die anywhere.

“It seems the damage was very severe during the initial bombing. Most of the people who were bombed were in the city… They estimate there will be many casualties, but it seems the damage has been reduced because refugees have been fleeing the city since the day after. Ah. But there’s no information yet about the demons firing cannons at the refugee lines. There are many records of engaging with the demon landing forces.”

Hilde summarized the situation well, like a secretary.

“It’s fucking awful.”

Hearing the damage report just made me feel like shit.
My teeth clenched, and anger surged.

Anyway, it’s serious.

And Lich is there too, so this is what happens… Now that the airships have stopped their attacks and disappeared, I need to take this opportunity to check on the refugees. If there are any problems with conscription, it will be less bloody if I solve them.

“Haa… I’m a little worried about my parents too.”

Liztina sighed as she said that.

“Ah.”

The 라이벨벳 family… The moment I thought that.

“You had them…?”

Karin said, as if she hadn’t even thought about it.
She tilted her head in confusion.

Wait.

What is this unni saying right now?

“Huh?”

At that moment, Liztina glared at Karin like someone who had been electrocuted.

“Oh my? Oh my oh my? Karin? What did you just say? You had them? You had them? What is this! Even so, isn’t that too much! What are you saying, Karin, you bitch!”
“Um? What? Why? Ah.”

Karin reacted as if she had heard something strange.

“Hey! No! No, hey! That’s not what I meant!”

She shouted in surprise.

Looking at her attitude, it doesn’t seem like she intentionally made a 패드립.

“That’s too much! Really, this Karin is crazy! Are you out of your mind!”
“No! Hey! I didn’t mean it that way!”

Still, it was a harsh thing to say.

“Unni… what you said just now was a bit much. Apologize quickly.”
“No! That’s not what I meant! It was just so unexpected!”

Karin’s face turned red as she began to defend herself.

“Unexpected, you say! What’s unexpected, you crazy woman!”
“Ugh! It’s not that, it’s just!”

I’m going crazy.

“It’s because when you talk about parents! You know! Like Marquis Vestart or Count Zenia! Or Claudia’s dad or Risha’s dad! I’ve only been hearing about those people, so it was sudden! I didn’t mean to insult you!”

She definitely didn’t have much presence.

“…”

Liztina trembled for a moment, then exhaled and said.

“Be careful with your words, really. That’s your problem, Karin. You speak without thinking.”
“This is… um. It was my fault. I’m sorry.”
“Well… I guess it can’t be helped. Don’t do it again.”
“I understand.”
“You understand?”

These unnis are going to fight again.

“Ah, Liz-unni. Are your parents okay?”

So, to change the subject, I asked.

“I hope they’ve evacuated…”

She immediately turned her attention away from Karin and answered, expressing her worries again. Well, there’s no other way but to go and check.

“Please check on them next time.”
“No. I’ll go check on them this time, not next time. We’re not on bad terms, right?”

Liztina uniquely has a good relationship with her parents. No. Is that unique? Anyway, normal people would go and check on them.

“I’d be grateful if you did! Aww, so pretty!”

Liztina, who was noticeably pleased, hugged my head and showered my forehead with kisses. I’m going to see Liz-unni’s parents’ faces for the first time. Should I bring a gift? What should I bring? Are the demon fleet commanders’ heads enough?

“Well, I guess I’ll have to go check on that this time. Right, Karin-unni. Come to think of it, what about Marquis Vestart?”
“He’s bedridden, they say.”

Karin replied casually.
She didn’t seem particularly interested.

“Then that’s that. Winia. What about Zenia?”
“Well… I didn’t really talk to her, but it seemed like she was there.”
“Really? I didn’t know because I wasn’t paying attention.”

It seems like they’re all safe for the most part.
These bastards have tough lives.

“Kat.”
“Um?”
“Anyway, if you drive out all the demons… what are you planning to do, Kat? Are you going to do what Winia said earlier?”

I thought for a moment at Claudia’s words.

“Disorder.”

I replied.

“Chaos. Those things will overflow.”

Those are the only things that remain after a war.

“I can’t stand to see that. If I drive out all the demons, I’ll have to do some traffic control. I’ll re-establish order in my name.”
“Ah…”

That is my firm will.

If I have the power, I can end the chaos.
