Chapter 6 – The Crisis of Life and Death
This feeling was felt only on the battlefield. Even a momentary mistake cost my life, and the fate of the fallen demon king was determined by my skills. If he managed to overcome this, he could not only save the demon king, but also receive the final victory.
My breath quickened with tension, and my heart beat so strongly that I could hear it even in my ears. My hands were wet with sweat, and I felt like I would lose my grip at any moment, but I couldn’t take my hands off because I didn’t know when the enemy would appear. As I held my breath and listened to the surroundings, the demon king shouted.
“95 directions! 95 directions! The enemy is there!”
“Where, where are you!”
“95 Bang Hyaaaaa! Eh behind a rock!”
“Where are you, ah! Where are you! You kept asking!”
Taking off the headset, I shouted at the demon king right next to me. She told me to take off her headset too, saying no to her vagina.
“Jim kept saying it was 95 directions! You didn’t hear me!”
“It was 95 in your direction! I need to point you in my direction!”
“How does Jim know that!”
At 3 o’clock after her lecture, when she met her, her demon king brought her to the internet cafe. He said that it was his dream to play games with his friends, and he played games until 8 o’clock. In the evening, I filled up with tteokgalbi rice bowl and a drink (Mawangnim’s card a.K.A Maca) sold at the PC room.
But after playing the game for hours, I felt like my eyes would fall out. Besides, it felt like my head would break because of the devil who nags me every time I make a mistake.
“No, are you a hero who commanded soldiers on the battlefield? Why are your game skills so bad?”
“I’ve been in another world for several years, and of course my skills have declined!”
“The spirit may be gone, but the body is the same as yesterday, isn’t it!”
“It is not the physical ability that matters, it is the mind that matters! Mentality!”
“When I was blanching earlier, I was talking about that and only dragged the minions! Jim thought you were ruining it!”
“When did I only drag minions! Don’t you remember the win in a teamfight by dragging Ari earlier?”
“We lost in the end!”
“Don’t you know that if you win a teamfight, you won the match! You really don’t know how to play games!”
“Excuse me… “
“Why!”
“Something!”
Suddenly, someone interrupted and answered savagely. However, there was a female part-timer standing in a polite posture with her hands together.
She spoke to us in her polite tone.
“Sorry, but you two were too noisy, so there was a complaint.”
Hearing that, I looked around and saw several of the people sitting in the seats near us staring at this place. It was only then that he realized that his words had grown louder and apologized to the part-timer.
“Sorry.”
“I-I’m sorry.”
“No. He, can you be a little quieter while playing the game?”
“All right. Sorry.”
After she left, I said a word to the demon king.
“I was cursed at because of you.”
“Why do you think it’s Jim’s fault?”
After arguing with each other, we agreed to stop the battle royale game. Now that I’ve played all the games I can play, I’ve been thinking about what to do.
The Demon King asked while sipping the remaining canned beverage.
“How about this?”
“What.”
Looking at her like that, a large circle picture appeared on her screen. No, it wasn’t a picture, it was a gif. The circle slowly began to turn, creating a swirling picture.
“Wouldn’t you like to fall into the storm of time and space together?”
“Oh little. Go away.”
While I’ve been in this world for years, I’ve missed this modern life, but not as much as the spacetime storm.
I’d rather confess to Yuri than do that.
Hearing my refusal, the demon king raised his eyebrows and argued.
“Then what are you going to do now?”
“Well… “
“We didn’t play the game earlier because you asked us to play it.”
“They say it’s really hot for something like that.”
“All demon lords always do their best in whatever they do.”
“So you’re playing the storm game too?”
“That was a joke.”
I picked up the soda can and shook it to see if there was anything inside. It was just an empty can, but I put the can to my mouth and tilted it to drink the remaining drop. After drinking a few drops of sweet black water, the demon king said.
“I’m tired of the game now, I’ve been cursed at, how about going out now?”
“What do you do? Do you want to go to karaoke to scream like before?”
“Oh, going to Kono with a friend is on my bucket list.”
“I’m not going. I don’t sing.”
“… Sheesh, so it was dumped by a woman.”
“What dude?”
“Jim didn’t say anything?”
The Demon King smiled shamelessly and asked again. But he wasn’t too upset.
I was also broken up a few years ago anyway (including living in another world), and I have no regrets left. So, it was none of my concern that Yuri met a strange guy and got hurt. I didn’t even like it anymore anyway.
“Aren’t you thinking of Miss Yuri right now?”
I was taken aback by the words and quickly denied it.
“It’s not? Did you think of what you threw while Wins earlier?”
“No, didn’t you say that Jim made a mistake?”
“Yes, even though the kitchen was still cool, I saw it openly. Yes.”
“It was because of his strange height! It was absolutely unintentional!”
“I thought you were going to lose, really.”
“Okay! Anyway, let’s leave the PC room.”
The demon king shouted and got up from the chair in the PC room. I got up and left the internet cafe together. I left the entrance of the PC room building and looked around.
It was night after work hours. It was broad daylight when I entered. After being in the internet cafe for such a long time, the light from the streetlights dazzled me like a vampire who saw sunlight. Or it’s just that your eyes are tired.
After sitting for a long time, I stretched my tired body. I was stretching with the feeling of breaking hardened muscles, but the demon king started going somewhere.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“Follow me. Jim will guide you to the fun places.”
“Where are you going?”
“Wouldn’t you like to leave it for the pleasure of arriving? Come follow me.”
I was suspicious at first, but I followed after the rustling silver hair.
A little further into the building with the PC room, a one-room village appeared. My room was also near here, so I had no doubts. It was because there was no reason to doubt the demon lord who trudged along with his hands in his pockets like an unemployed man in the neighborhood.
… If I had the power of foreknowledge, I would have run away to my own room right away.
After walking for about 5 minutes, we arrived at a building. On the first floor, there was a cafe with lights still on and a 24-hour convenience store. When I saw the cafe, I thought the demon king would say, ‘It was a dream to talk to my friends at a cafe!’, But she passed by and entered the building entrance.
“Uh? Can I come in?”
“Why not? Come in.”
I raised my head and looked upstairs. The lights were off on the 2nd floor, and on the 3rd to 5th floors, office signs were hung and lights were on in places. I wondered what they were trying to do with me in a building like this.
“Aren’t you following me?”
At the entrance of the building, the demon king raised his head and asked.
“Ugh! I’ll go!”
After saying this, the demon king entered the building again. I checked it and picked up a piece of brick that had fallen on the sidewalk.
No, because it’s the devil! It’s because he’s the demon king who used to put a sword in my chest until yesterday!
Still, this was serious, so I threw a brick on the floor and went into the building. The demon king confirmed that I was entering and she climbed the stairs of the building. The place I arrived at was a place with the lights off on the second floor. She approached the glass door on the second floor. She then took her keys out of her pocket and lifted her heels and began unlocking the lock on the top of the door. On the door that the demon king was opening, this writing was attached as a sticker.
Sword dojo
When I thought about why the hell did they bring me here, I heard the door open.
Clap!
“Okay, come in.”
The open interior was as dark as seen from the outside. But when the demon king entered and I heard the sound of turning on the switch right next to the door, the light came on. As she took off her shoes and headed into it, I could see inside.
As soon as you enter, on the side of the wall filled with mirrors, wooden swords or bamboo swords are piled up, and on the other side are several iron doors. In the place facing the entrance door, I could see a window that was visible from the outside.
As I entered, I took off my shoes and asked the demon king who was walking inside what appeared to be a kendo hall.
“What are you doing here?”
“What are you doing? Isn’t it a kendo hall?”
“Kendojang? Can I come in without permission?”
“It’s fine.”
The demon king turned her body towards me and spread her arms.
“This is Jim’s father, the owner of this place.”
She looked around and approached the demon king, asking.
“Is your father the head of the kendo gym?”
“No.”
“Then what is it?”
“Didn’t you say you were the owner of this place?”
The Demon King’s finger was pointing to the floor. To be precise, the floor that makes up this ‘building’.
“… “
“Why are you holding Jim’s hand?”
“Are we friends?”
“Everyone who claims to be a friend has never been a friend. And if you don’t erase that fake smile, you’ll be beaten to death with that bamboo sword over there.”
Quietly let go of his hand.
However, the demon king’s hands were covered with calluses more than I thought. When he hugged me in the smoking area at school earlier, he seemed to have exercised a bit, as well as his strength.
Even though I let go of my hand, the demon king slowly walked to the place where the bamboo swords were piled up. Looking back, I asked.
“Why did you bring me here?”
“Do you remember when you fought Jim?”
“What?”
“I was really dumbfounded then when you mortally wounded Jim. You mean biting your throat with your teeth. I thought he was a beast, not a human.”
When he said his last words, he looked back in my direction for a moment, then headed forward again.
“No, it was also an exhibition back then, and I was having a hard time.”
No matter what I said, the demon king ignored it and picked up a pile of bamboo swords. He picked it up, waved it in the air, and said.
“It was really bad. As much as Jim’s skills were outstanding, you were also not easy. But I never dreamed that I would waste my skills like that. You must have been sad too. Minute. Number of people. He.”
The demon king looked at me with a light smile. That smile made me smile for some reason.
“Oh, there it is.”
I looked around and found things that could change the topic. Then I discovered something unexpected.
At the top of the wall were several photos and certificates. It was a photo of a silver-haired girl who stood out from afar, wearing a kendo uniform, holding a certificate and smiling. I couldn’t see the contents written on the certificate in the photo, but I read the text on the certificate next to it.
Grand Prize, MVP, Player of the Year
Roughly, there were more than ten such certificates hanging.
“You… !”
The Demon King asked me as I met eyes full of astonishment.
“How about it, why don’t you stick with Jim again?”
“No, have you still not forgotten how we decided that?”
“Of course, half of the reason I’ve been looking for you is because of this.”
“That’s because I’m going to lose.”
“It’s fine.”
The demon king threw the bamboo sword he was holding at me. I barely received it and looked at the Demon King again, but she was holding a shinki sword before I knew it.
“Now, let’s compete for supremacy with this!”
“Ugh, aaaaagh!”
I won’t go into details. All I could say was that I was beaten enough to think I’d be better off going into the Nexus.
?: Haha
?
?: I sent you a picture
