Chapter 51 – It’s Okay if You Relay It via Video Call.

I handed over the dice and called the Demon King.

“Hey.”

“Why?”

The demon king answered by accepting the dice I handed him. She focused on the game and asked her, who gave her a rough answer.

“Where the hell did you get this game from?”

“I bought it on the Internet.”

“This? On the internet?”

After throwing the dice, the demon king raised his head and looked at me. She asked with her face why.

“Hmm. That’s right. Is there anything strange about it?”

“It’s even weirder because there’s nothing strange about it!”

The game she brought was kind of like burma fire. However, there was a difference that the background was not a modern city, but the name of a region that existed in another world. The problem, however, was that the name of the area was quite familiar.

“I’ll throw it if there’s no problem. Yay!”

After her words, she threw the dice. Two dice, painted black, roll on the board and come to rest with 4 and 3 face up.

“7! If it’s 7, one, two, three, four… Aagh! Why are you here! Sehee!”

“My sister came here. Two guild buildings in one inn, so just give me 1,300 shillings.”

“Hey, if you look… “

“I can’t. Please give me the money.”

“Please! Please watch this just once!”

“You said that the other day. No. That’s the last one If you don’t, I’ll take it.”

With a calm face, Se-hee took her sister’s money, which she liked so much. Counting the money, she said to the demon king.

“So what if you focus on buying land? You have to spread it out and buy it.”

As he said, the demon king seemed obsessed with his previous life, and tended to live only in the demon zone. Even when he set foot in other areas, he was worried and did not take pictures.

“My brother too.”

“Huh?”

“My brother only buys human land. Besides, you only buy expensive land.”

“No, but how much does Arileia cost! It’s not the capital for nothing! Just step on it and you get 2000!”

“It’s a problem because I don’t step on it.”

“Ugh!”

“Besides, there is no money to build a building, so they leave it bare.”

“Ugh!”

“Hmm! So you thought Jim was empty and tried to move on. This game doesn’t do that.”

“It’s not something you say because you only bought the land of demons!”

The winner of the game was determined to be Sehee. I almost ran out of cash and only had to sell the land, and the demon king sold buildings and land because he had no money, so he could barely lose and survive the game.

“I even play games. Now who’s turn to throw?”

“Isn’t it your turn? Sehee.”

“Is that so? I was so busy counting money that I forgot.”

“Keugh! How deceptive! Let’s wait and see, keep your eyes open and watch Jim reverse!”

“All right. I will throw it now.”

The dice were thrown, and the place where Sehee’s game piece headed was an empty land.

“If you go one square further, it’s Jim’s land! Prepare for your next turn!”

“There are 2 dice, but how does a 1 come out… Ah, I will buy this land and build a guild building.”

Se-hee went through the game box to get a plastic model.

“Sister, there is no guild, so could you give me some?”

“Why do you ask Jim for it! You took it all, so take care of yourself!”

“I’ll give you the money.”

“Here it is! Would five be okay?”

“Two will do.”

While we were having fun, I thought about this game. This board game seemed to copy the world that existed when I was a hero. The name of each region was of course, and everything was similar, including the monetary unit and the shape of the building. I would never have known this unless I had been to that world.

“Don’t worry too much.”

The Demon King said to me, who was in trouble.

“I was surprised when I first saw Jim, and I was also afraid. I did some research on game developers just in case, but they don’t seem to have any ambitions. Like conquering the world or something.”

“Okay?”

“Well, besides, she was a woman.”

“What does it matter if you are a woman?”

“At first I thought you developed it. But I was disappointed to find out she was a woman.”

“Is that so?”

“… Maybe you,”

“Brother.”

The Demon King was about to say something, but Sehee called me.

“Now it’s your turn.”

“Oh yeah?”

I took the dice and looked at the demon king again.

“But maybe what? What were you trying to say?”

“It is nothing. Anyway, isn’t it your turn? Throw it!”

I had a strong feeling that she was trying to gloss over something in her. The moment she was about to ask again, a Japanese anime song sounded from somewhere.

“Looks like you got a call.”

That song was from the demon lord’s cell phone. She pulled her phone out of her sweatpants pocket and answered the call.

“Yes, Mother.”

The caller seemed to be her mother. The demon king continued to call her in a normal tone, then hung up on her with her contemplative face.

“Oh, mother is coming!”

The demon king got up from her seat and headed towards her kitchen. She told us how urgent she was, without turning her head as she went.

“You two, put away some board games while Jim washes the dishes!”

Before he could answer, the demon king went into the kitchen, and Sehee and I had no choice but to clear the game board. I put down the dice, thinking that it was fortunate that I didn’t go all the way.

“Sorry, it was fun.”

“Iknow, right. Lucky for you. Both my sister and my brother.”

“… Let’s clean it up! Sehee, can you give me some money for your sister’s seat?”

“I don’t have much, so I don’t have to clean it up. Same goes for my brother.”

Ignoring her words as much as possible, she began to clear out her game board. She put the building on the board and her piece inside the box and folded the board. In the meantime, Sehee showed the appearance of organizing money by unit. So we cleared the table.

Sehee stood up and closed the lid of the board game box.

“I’ll leave it in my sister’s room.”

“Shall I go with you too?”

“No. Brother, please wait here.”

I was left alone in the living room of someone else’s house like that. It wasn’t lonely or scary. Even if I couldn’t see it, I could hear the demon king washing dishes and see Se-hee’s back as she walked down the stairs.

While I was passing the time looking at my phone, I saw Se-hee coming down, who had left a box behind.

“Brother.”

She came up to me and called me and handed me something. It was a black square cuboid smaller than the palm of her hand.

“What is this?”

“A camera. Please take a picture with it.”

“Don’t take it! Take it!”

“There’s also a picture of my sister, so if you’re bored, take a look.”

“Even if you say that, I won’t shoot!”

I proudly refused and kept the camera in my trouser pocket. I thought that I shouldn’t lose this kind of criminal evidence carelessly. Never! It wasn’t like I never wanted to see it.

Oh, but in case you don’t know, should I back up this too?

“Or brother.”

“Why.”

“It’s okay if you relay it via video call.”

“I will not! I don’t know what it is, but I won’t!”

“If you refuse like that, are you saying you want to be with me?”

“Are you not doing it?”

Se-hee looked at me eagerly, as if she understood my repeated rejections.

“… I’ll see if I can get over it.”

“Why why? What are you going to do!”

“Look forward to that time.”

I don’t know why I’m so scared every time the sisters of this house tell me to look forward to it. Could it be that the ‘expectations’ they know are different from what I know?

Just when Se-hee became scared in a different way, the doorbell rang.

Ding dong!

“I hope you will look forward to it.”

She left goosebumps until the end and headed for the front door. Se-hee heard the intercom on the wall nearby.

“Who are you? Oh mother yes. Wait a minute.”

I pressed the button on the intercom and heard the faint sound of a door opening outside the house. And not long after, the goddess opened the door and came in.

With an aura like a Nordic goddess, she gave off a career woman-like vibe by wearing a black suit. Her mother said to Se-hee as she took off her low-heeled shoes.

“Sehee, how are you? What about your sister?”

“My sister is washing the dishes now.”

“Why? What did you make?”

She raised her head as she asked the question. Then I met her mother and her eyes. The blue eyes and the dark circles under them were so beautiful that you could feel the beauty of decadence.

I woke up spontaneously from the shock as if I had been struck by lightning.

“Oh.”

The goddess was surprised to see me and opened her eyes wide.

“Jiheon, when did you come?”

I was distracted, but I opened my mouth with the compulsion to answer.

“I came a little while ago. Just before.”

“Is it so? You came to see our Sohee!”

“Yes yes.”

As we were having a thrilling conversation, I saw something running out of the kitchen. The Demon King, who had been running so fast that only the fluttering silver hair could be seen, quickly climbed the stairs. But her mother couldn’t see it, and she shouted at her daughter.

“It’s Sohee! What if I run around in front of customers!”

I was startled by the first loud noise I heard. But perhaps even the scolding parent herself was surprised, her mother also opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth with the palm of her hand.

“I’m sorry. In front of guests… “

“No, no! Are you okay. It could be.”

“Is your mother here?”

The demon king, who had just changed, came down the stairs. Unlike before, when he was wearing a green sweatshirt, he was now wearing wide ivory-colored cotton pants and a black short-sleeved T-shirt that looked just as big.

Despite her efforts to change clothes in seconds, her mother did not forget the sweatpants she had worn earlier.

“Baek So-hee! You were wearing a tracksuit earlier! I have guests, so what should I do?”

“Mother! Sehee was dressed like that too!”

At those words, her mother looked at Se-hee. Only then did she find that her second daughter was dressed in the same comfy outfit as her sister just before her.

“… Sehee, see you later?”

“Yes.”

Se-hee answered, but he was glaring at her tell-tale sister.

I couldn’t help but laugh at this sight. When I first came, I thought I was playing a harmonious family just for show. But when I saw them fighting like this, it seemed like I was seeing the true face of the Demon King’s family.

“Jiheon-ssi, I’m sorry for showing you this.”

As her mother entered the living room, she whispered in a low voice so Sehee couldn’t hear.

“I’m sorry Sehee didn’t notice. I would have liked to be alone.”

“Yes?”

“I’m not really this kind of kid. Would you like to go out with the two of us from now on? It doesn’t matter if you come the next day.”

“Uh, that’s it.”

Before I could understand what my mother was saying, the demon king intervened.

“Jiheon!”

She came up to me and intertwined her arms arbitrarily.

“Didn’t you say you had to leave now? I’ll see you off!”

I thought I had a promise because of what the demon king said. But he realized that it was a lie for me, and he started to come to terms with it.

“Ahhh! It did!”

“Mother, Jiheon will pick me up and bring me back!”

It wasn’t for me, it was a lie to get me out of it.

The Demon King tried to lead me out. He reached the front door, and her mother called her.

“Wait for a sec! It’s Sohee!”

“Ugh.”

She let out a small moan, as if something had stung her. Then, unfolding her arms, she approached her mother.

“Yes, Mother.”

Said the mother, pulling her wallet out of the inside pocket of her coat.

“You don’t have to come in right away, near here… “

I couldn’t hear what I said at this time because I was whispering to the demon king. All I could tell was that she took the money her mother gave her with her red face.

The demon king approached me, stuffing several ten thousand won bills into his pocket. Her snow-white skin turned pink as she pushed me toward the front door.

“Come on, let’s go!”

“Wait a minute, I’m putting on some shoes.”

“Noisy! Get out at once!”

“I’m not wearing shoes!”

Somehow I put on my shoes and was dragged out to the yard. I wondered why he was dragging me as hard as a truck, so I asked him.

“What did your mother say?”

“For now, please stay still.”

“Ah Okay.”

I couldn’t say anything because it looked like it would kill me at any moment.

As I was being dragged away, I heard the sound of the front door behind me and then my mother’s voice.

“Hey! Baek So-hee!”

“Eck! Let’s go!”

At those words, the demon king shrugged his shoulders and dragged me towards the gate with even stronger momentum. And the voice is heard again.

“What can I do if the kitchen is messed up like that!!!”

Leaving behind my mother’s screams, we went out the gate. The Demon King did not stop his steps until the scolding from the house stopped.

As he got further away from home, the demon king opened his mouth with a sigh.

“Ha, I’m afraid to go home.”

“What the hell did you do?”

“I just organized it my own way.”

“I don’t think he would be like that if it was a real tidy up.”

“Noisy. Tidying up is tidying up.”

The angry demon king sighed again.

“Haa, it looks like I won’t be able to go home for a few hours in that state.”

“Then stay with me for a while. You got money.”

“Hmm?!”

At my words, she was startled and stiffened her body. Then she looked back at me with a blushing face.

“Hey, hey, did you hear?”

“What.”

“Your mother said.”

“I didn’t hear. Aren’t you surprised by that?”

“No, it’s okay to play, but… Well, should I say it’s an adult’s play… ?”

“What are you talking about. Did you want to do something like that?”

For some reason, the demon king looked at me and asked.

“It’s not that I don’t want to, but… Are you, that, what you want to do… ?”

“I will do it if you want.”

“!”

“By the way, is there a PC cafe near here?”

“What?”

Upon hearing my words, the demon king opened his eyes wide as if he was taken aback. I asked because I didn’t know why he reacted that way.

“Why? Aren’t you talking about adult games like Reddena?”

“… Ah! You mean something like that!”

He was so flustered that he seemed to stutter.

“Oh, of course that’s it! Then what did you think! Ahahaha! The PC room is this way! Let’s go!”

She walked down her alleyway without letting go of my arm. We didn’t untie our arms until we arrived at the internet cafe.

Me: I didn’t.
