Chapter 30 – Someday

I asked while sitting in the passenger seat of the jeep.

“Where the hell are you going this time?”

The demon king, sitting in the driver’s seat, answered while fixing his eyes only in front of him.

“Wait a little and you will know. Let’s leave it for the pleasure of that time.”

“No, you say that it never ended well?”

Shaking off the unbearable anxiety, I looked out the window. A silver jeep with peeling paint, the one I had driven before, was driving down a country road.

Until an hour ago, I was lying on the bed in my own room, lounging around. However, the demon king suddenly attacked, changed the clothes he had brought, got into his car, and started heading somewhere.

I looked down at the green sweatpants she had put on me. It was a design with two white stripes on the shoulder line and on the side of the pants, just like the one the demon king is wearing now. Thinking that they looked like a couple, I turned to the back seat.

The back with the chair removed was not much different from the last time I rode it. There were tools such as shovels and pickaxes, but one saw objects that were not visible. It was a green leather bag that was as long as a golf club bag, but a little thicker than a badminton club case.

“What are you looking at?”

Hearing her words from the driver’s seat, she turned her head forward again. The Demon King made eye contact with me while driving.

“Are you curious about that?”

There was no doubt that the “That” She was talking about was the bag I had been looking at.

“Of course I am curious. What is that?”

“Heh.”

The demon king raised his left hand and wiped it under his nose and smiled lightly.

“Wouldn’t it be fun if I told you now? I’ll let you know later.”

“Every time you do that, it scares me, bit.”

Now, with a look of boredom, he shifted his hips and adjusted his posture to sit down. The demon king glanced at her that day and said with the corner of her mouth raised.

“Give me a hint. It’s something you can’t touch right now.”

Having said that, I was more curious.

“What the hell is that?”

“Ahaha! I’ll put up with this for now. Ruler.”

The demon king laughed heartily and put his hand on his handle.

“What.”

I knew what it meant, but it was embarrassing, so I deliberately pretended not to know.

Then, without speaking, she gestured her chin at her right hand. Seeing this, I crossed my arms and shook my head.

“I will not”

Despite my refusal, the demon king looked at me silently with a smile on his eyes.

“… “

“I don’t.”

“… “

“Oh really!”

I got a little annoyed and untied my arms. Then, she reached out her left hand and covered the back of the demon king’s hand. When he felt the soft touch of his palm, he asked with a heated face.

“All right, now!”

“Hmm ♪”

She only hummed her words, the corners of her mouth raised. I looked at it, and when my eyes met the demon king, I felt as if I had been caught somehow, so I turned my head out the window.

The landscape, which had only been visible, began to change little by little. There were rice fields still covered with green rice, and several country houses with red slate roofs could be seen beyond them.

Wei Ying

I heard her window roll down from her side. Turning her head, she saw the Demon King extending his left hand out of her window. The wind coming in from outside made my silver hair flutter, and I was mesmerized by the demon king’s gestures that seemed to touch the wind.

If you’re this pretty, you’ll want to confess to dating.

She’s holding her hand, but actually, we weren’t dating her. Because she was so friendly with her stubbornness, even if I held her hand, she didn’t go out with me.

Of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to date her. However, I was worried that if I failed to confess, I would break this relationship.

In the end, as a coward, all I could do was grab her right hand like this.

… Huh? Something weird?

For some reason, I felt uncomfortable. I slowly inspected her beautiful figure. The wind coming through her window made her silver hair flutter like a work of art. At the same time, her left hand, which was out of the window, bent her fingers as if grasping sunlight. In the end, she couldn’t find the identity of the sense of incongruity in the demon king, who only looked beautiful.

What is there, obviously.

I frowned and turned my head forward. However, I noticed that the direction the car was going was slightly crooked. He fiddled with the back of her right hand, which was clenched in anxiety.

“!”

Only then did I realize what was wrong. The demon king’s left hand was outside the window and his right hand was on me.

“What crazy!”

She screamed and reached for the empty steering wheel. However, the Demon King, who has faster reflexes than me, grabbed his steering wheel first.

“Ahahahaha! Did you notice now!”

She laughed shamelessly as I grabbed her steering wheel and corrected her course.

“I was wondering when you would find out.”

“Are you crazy? You almost fell behind!”

“Didn’t you follow? Don’t be so angry Come on, calm down.”

The demon king crawled back and put his hand on the handle.

When she was driving at the beginning of the semester, she was too nervous to even say a word. But as time passed, she was not afraid to do dangerous stunt driving like this.

“Oh really, I almost went to another world again.”

I groaned and cupped the back of her hand again.

After that, the jeep we got into went back to the place where we bought it. Even though the car was rocking on the unpaved road, I didn’t let go of my hand and held it tight. After about 10 minutes or so, the car stopped.

“Well, we have arrived.”

The demon king said and removed his hand that I was covering. Without a hint of regret, he turned off the engine with his right hand, unfastened his belt, and got out of the car.

I unfastened the belt with that hand, feeling the sensation in the palm of my hand. After getting out of the car following the demon king, I looked around.

The place where the car stopped was a small vacant lot next to a large field. The vacant lot was usually used as a parking lot, and weeds stood out in the middle of the road as if cutting through the bare ground. The most notable thing was the field next to it. Through the barbed wire fence, I could see sweet potatoes planted. However, some of the barbed wire was flimsy, as if it had been hastily repaired, and the sweet potato fields were also dug up.

“Don’t just stand there, come here!”

When I turned my head, the devil was calling me with the jeep trunk door open. As she headed there, I saw her open the long bag I was curious about from her back seat.

“Were you curious about this?”

Saying so, what the demon king took out was a shotgun.

“You, that!”

“What are you so surprised about?”

The Demon King held up the shotgun with both hands as if he were familiar with it and inspected it. He moved the reload handle under the barrel and asked with a rather natural expression.

“You’re well aware that Jim’s hobby is hunting, right?”

“No, but it is, can I bring it like that?”

“It’s fine.”

Checking her gun, she pointed her chin at the sweet potato field next to her.

“If seawater like a wild boar causes damage and the owner of the field reports it, you can take out your firearm even when it’s not hunting season.”

“No, did you bring me to hunt wild boars?”

“It can’t be, can’t it? I just came for a picnic because the weather was nice.”

What kind of outing is wild boar hunting?

The demon king opened the small pocket on the side of the bag that had held her gun.

“Besides, I just came here for a preliminary investigation today. I’m going to take a good look around this field and go.”

As she said that, she took a red shotgun bullet from her pocket. She loaded two rounds into the bottom of her shotgun and closed her gun case.

That gun looks like it will probably hold about 5 rounds, but I was curious and asked when I only got 2 rounds.

“Can’t you just put that in?”

The demon king answered, pointing the tip of her gun toward the sky with her right hand.

“It’s not even a war, so aren’t two shots enough?”

When she had finished speaking, she closed her trunk with her left hand. Holding her gun in one hand seemed uneasy, so I approached and tried to help. Then the demon king urgently said.

“Ugh! You can’t touch it carelessly!”

When she heard that, she was startled and she hurried back behind her.

Meanwhile, she grabbed her gun again with both hands and smiled.

“I told you earlier, you are not allowed to touch it.”

“M-I’m sorry.”

“Heh, it doesn’t matter if no one is looking. Come on, take it!”

And then she handed me the shotgun, almost throwing it. Surprised, I was given the gun so I wouldn’t drop it.

The first gun I ever held in my life was heavier than I thought. I touched the shotgun slowly, thinking that it was made of iron at the cold touch.

Seeing me like that, the demon king asked.

“Why is that? It’s not the first time I’ve seen a gun.”

She was right. There was a time when I made a matchlock unit in another world. However, gunpowder was more expensive than expected, and because of reports that magic was better than guns, it was dismantled within three months of its creation.

She said that and returned her shotgun. The Demon King, holding her gun at an angle, tilted her head instead.

“What are you talking about? Don’t you know how hard the demon side was because of your unit?”

“What?”

“An ordinary human without any training, with just one flick of a finger, it is as powerful as magic. Of course, I will exhaust myself without fear. Its power was considerable, too. Furthermore,”

She looked at her gun.

“I guess half of this hobby I got from watching your troops. That’s how impressive the gun was.”

“No, but why did you report it as bad?”

“You really don’t know?”

Looked at me and smiled.

Well, it wasn’t something I guessed. It must be because I can’t have a unit with powerful firepower under me.

“The past is the past. Stop forgetting Let’s go now.”

She was right. It was the kingdom that ordered my men to kill me. It wasn’t even that much of a disappointment.

Thinking so, I followed the demon king who was walking first. He asked as he walked alongside her.

“Are you really going to catch a wild boar?”

To her question, she answered with her gaze forward.

“Didn’t I tell you earlier? It’s just a preliminary investigation. I’ll just walk around the field and find out what its habits are, whether it’s a female or a male. Jim’s uncle will take care of the rest.”

“Aren’t you holding on?”

“After all, Jim has come to go out with you. He doesn’t have to look at the blood.”

“Then why did you bring the gun?”

“You don’t know. Even though the wild boar is nocturnal, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t wander around during the day.”

“Then are we safe?”

“It’s okay. It’s safe. Jim had done similar work many times, but he never came to rob a field in broad daylight. Jim assures me, we’re safe.”

It looks like a flag…

Even with that thought, she slowly walked along the mountain path with the Demon King. She did not forget her purpose of coming here, such as checking her barbed wire and taking pictures of her footprints in the soil with her smartphone.

After about 10 minutes of walking on the mountain path without incident, I felt relieved and walked without thinking. But that was the root cause.

“What!?”

Suddenly, I fell down with the sensation of the floor suddenly turning off. It would have been fine if I had stopped there, but I fell down as if this was a cliff. After rolling four or five turns, my body stopped, and I woke up with a groan from the pain that pierced my whole body.

“Ouch… “

“Are you okay there?”

I heard the demon king screaming from up there. Even though it sounded like she was worried about me, it felt right that her tone was full of laughter.

“Poop, that’s right, shouldn’t you have been careful! Fufufu!”

“You’re laughing when someone is hurt!”

I laughed and shouted after the demon king. Her limbs were scratched and broken, which hurt a lot, but she let out her laugh and laughed automatically.

“Haha! Sorry! Can you stand up Should Jim help?”

“No! Are you okay! There you are!”

I got up and looked around. There was a cliff with a gentle slope right next to the mountain road we were walking on earlier, but I tripped and fell over. As proof, a part of the forest was crushed as if a road had been formed on a part of the slope.

I moved my body slowly, but suddenly the back of my head felt cold. When I unconsciously turned around, there was a wild boar.

“Uh?”

What?

A huge wild boar, up to my waist, was only about 5 meters away from me.

When I didn’t move after seeing the big gray beast, the demon king over there shouted.

“Why? What’s going on?”

Apparently, the boar was nowhere to be seen in her direction. Besides, even if I could see it, I was in a position where I was in the direction of the wild boar, so I couldn’t shoot it carelessly. In this situation, there was only one thing I could do.

Running sideways

“Shoot!”

I shouted and ran to the right with all my strength. A few seconds after I started running, I heard a gunshot behind me.

Taang!

I thought she had caught her boar and tried to stop her. But the demon king’s voice came again.

“I am not dead yet! Die and run!”

“Aim for real!”

As I was about to run again, I saw a tree in front of me. It was a tree with a good thickness, and the location of the thick branches seemed to be less than 2 meters. The moment I saw it, I jumped towards the branch.

“Eww!”

With a strange scream, he grabbed a branch and climbed onto it like climbing an iron pole. He looked down while holding the eggplant with both arms and legs.

On the floor, a wild boar was looking up, bleeding on its side.

Whoop… ! Whoop… !

The boar took a heavy breath, then suddenly started to bump into the tree I was hanging from.

Kweek! Thud! Thud!

“Uh uh!”

Every time it hit, it shook like a tree would break. The leaves fell in abundance, and a strong vibration was transmitted to the branch on which I was hanging. I strained my limbs to hold on to the branch to keep from falling. At the same time, he shouted at the demon king on the slope.

“Hey! Shoot fast!”

But no matter how long I waited, no gunshots were heard. After three or four boars crashed into trees, I tried to shout again.

“Hey! What are you doing!”

But I heard her cry.

“I will shoot! But there are conditions!”

I wondered what he was talking about when he was in an urgent situation. But this was nothing compared to what I was going to say next.

“I will save you! Go out with Jim!”

“What, what!”

It was such an absurd statement that my hand almost slipped. I straightened up and said.

“What bullshit!”

“After meeting you, there hasn’t been a day where I haven’t been pounding! I know you like Jim, but since you don’t confess so much, I’m saying this because I think this is an opportunity! Go out with Jim!”

“Annit, really!”

It wasn’t that the sudden confession wasn’t pleasing. Her heart was pounding as if she were about to boil because she had the same thoughts as me. But this pounding wasn’t just for the demon king.

Thud! Thud!

“Uh uh!”

Meanwhile, the wild boar banged its head against the tree I was hanging from. If I didn’t like her, she would have confessed, so I yelled that I accepted.

“Okay! OK! Shoot!”

“Then tell me you’re dating Jim!”

“What?”

“Come on! This is not a request, this is a threat!”

“Really… Okay! Let’s go out with me!”

“And say I love Jim! With sincerity!”

“Love”

Kweek! Thud!

“Hail! Hey! You almost fell! Just shoot!”

“No way! I won’t shoot until you say I love you!”

It varies, really… !

Clinging to a branch, I screamed with all my might.

“It’s Sohee! Love you! Let’s go out with me!”

“I will accept your request! Jim loves you too!”

Taang!

Quack!

A gunshot rang out, and the wild boar screamed in agony. After falling a few steps from the tree, he collapsed and did not move.

Seeing him collapsed, I looked in the direction where the demon king was. I saw her coming down the slope in her sweatpants with her gun in one hand.

The demon king, who had been approaching with silver hair, lifted his head and met his eyes. She smiled confidently with a slightly reddened face.

“One day from today!”
