Chapter 8 – If I Fight You, Will I Lose?

“Cool cool! Whoa!”

The place where he was dragged with a sick body was the playground inside the university. In the morning or afternoon, people from sports clubs such as the soccer club ran around, but during lunchtime, I was the only one dragged by a kickboard.

At first, the people around me noticed it, so I asked the demon king to stop. However, as time passed, the danger to life was felt, and the purpose of stopping was changed.

True to the name of the Demon King, she ran more than ten laps around her playground, and it was fortunate that the Demon King hadn’t charged the kickboard yesterday. If she hadn’t stopped, she would have been dragged across the playground with her whole body, tied to her like her sinners in her historical dramas.

After this ignorant run, I immediately sat down on the floor. While gagging with the feeling of throwing up his stomach because there was nothing inside, the demon king smiled refreshingly and said.

“Ah! Don’t you exercise for this? Warrior.”

“What, ugh, bullshit?”

“As expected, there’s nothing like exercise to relieve stress! Hmm!”

What’s up! What! I almost fell behind! I wanted to argue, but my body wouldn’t follow me. After sitting and resting for a few minutes, my stamina returned to the point where I could stand up. Like a newborn baby deer, she stomped her legs and walked to the demon king.

“Hey.”

“Oh, did you get enough rest? Then, why don’t we go to the next exercise?”

“I’m not going!”

“Ahaha! What a joke! Now go eat lunch.”

Saying that, the demon king began to loosen the rope tied around his waist. I didn’t want to see the same thing as before, so I solved it myself. No matter how tight the rope was tied, trying to untie it only made my fingers slip.

In the end, I got annoyed and, knowing it wouldn’t work, I pulled on both sides to tear the rope. As expected, the rope didn’t break, so I gave more strength. When your blood pressure rises and your face feels like it’s about to burst.
Pop!

What, what is this

The rope the demon king gave was an ordinary nylon rope. It was thin enough to be used as a clothesline outside. However, it was not something that could be torn apart by ordinary people’s hands.

I grabbed the torn rope and stared blankly at it, but the demon king found me like that.

“Oh! Just as Jim thought!”

At those words, I thrust the rope into the demon lord. It was surprising, but even more absurd.

“Hey, what is this?”

“Don’t be surprised.”

“What did you feed me yesterday?”

“That is a bit speculative. Didn’t you eat together too? Listen.”

The demon king dropped the rope and approached me. He put his hand on my shoulder and met my blue eyes.

“The soul is easily compared to a liquid like water, but it is not. It’s not like there aren’t similarities.”

“So?”

“The only difference you have between the last world and this world is your physical body. Souls are the same Your soul remembers the training and hardships you went through.”

“You were too weak for that?”

The first time I came back, I took off my clothes and looked at my body. There, it was shocking to see that his muscular body had now become thin and full of flab.

“I guess so. Hey, have you ever heard of this? That the body remembers. Actually, it is not the body that remembers, it is the soul that remembers. It is because of that that your strength has increased dramatically.”

“No, you weren’t this strong yesterday or the day before?”

“Of course, isn’t it? Jim is only a little irritating now. It’s so little that even this power is temporary. And isn’t your pain much less now?”

It was definitely as she said. She couldn’t even walk properly until she ran because her whole body was sore. On the other hand, now my whole body is stiff and my legs are wobbly, but the place I was hit yesterday didn’t hurt.

Wait a minute, maybe you searched for me and hit me yesterday… ?

“So you were such a fan of me yesterday?”

“That was just Jim’s hobby, wasn’t it?”

“Hey!”

“It’s a joke. I was just trying to check As expected, it was very weak. Seeing you grow stronger today confirms Jim’s hypothesis.”

“But how did you know this?”

“Isn’t there a great subject here?”

The demon king pointed to his chest with his thumb.

“I guess it was in elementary school, or after Jim reincarnated, I realized that his physical abilities were superior to others. He walked quickly, his teeth grew fast, and he single-handedly took down four or five middle and high school students.”

… Let’s ignore the last word.

Anyway, as she said, the demon lord’s power was unusual. When we first met, when he hugged me, he felt like his back would break. Besides, even when he hit me, wielding a bamboo sword for three hours wasn’t something a normal person would do.

As she thought about it, her doubts came to her, so she asked the demon king.

“Then why are you training me? Is there any profit?”

To my words, the demon king answered with his eyes wide open.

“Didn’t you tell me yesterday! He said that he wants to end a confrontation that he did not finish properly in his previous life. Even with you in your prime!”

“What, did you meet me for that?”

“I will not deny it. But it’s not a lie to think of you as a friend.”

As if to show his sincerity, the Demon King gave strength to his eyes and looked at me. He stared at me with his big blue eyes, and he turned his head away with a feeling of pressure.

“Ah Okay. Okay because stop staring.”

“I just want you to know the truth about Jim.”

He relaxed his eyes and spoke again.

“Now, how about going to lunch?”

It was only then that I realized the purpose of the demon king coming to meet me. He came to my classroom to have lunch with me.

“Oh right. You should buy something delicious. I’ve suffered so much, but I need something.”

“Don’t worry! I thought Jim was good!”

Demon King left the playground dragging a kickboard with a confident face. She threw the rope that tied them together into a nearby trash can, and she followed her.

I wanted her to take me to her local restaurants, if not as much as her student cafeteria. However, the place where the kickboard was placed was not a restaurant, but a nearby school building.

“Hey, is this right?”

I asked about her anxiety, but she still maintained a confident smile.

“You came right. Don’t worry, come with me.”

Believing those words, I arrived at a convenience store in the school building. I don’t know what she meant, but once I followed her into it. Without the slightest hesitation, the demon king headed to the counter where her drinks were displayed and picked up something from her.

“Ruler! If you exercise, isn’t this enough!”

It was a chocolate flavored protein.

“That, is that?”

“You don’t like the taste? Don’t worry. In addition to the chocolate flavor, there are also banana and grain flavors.”

“Suddenly forced to run several kilometers. Do you think you and your daughter are going to fight with that one?”

“Will Jim really be able to pack this into one? His name is the Demon King.”

“Yes? Is there anything else besides this?”

“I’ll buy you three of them! Pick whatever you want!”

“I’m not going to eat!”

“What, what?”

Confused, she seemed like an overachiever who failed in trying to seduce the demon lord. She was full of confidence, ignoring failure, and never imagining my rejection.

“Eh, are you rejecting this protein? I mean, it’s delicious… !”

“After making a dog go through such hardships, is it protein at best?”

“At best! Don’t you know how good protein is for you?”

When I heard her say that, I was stunned. She said, placing her hand on her shoulder.

“Listen. What’s good for the body doesn’t taste good. The unhealthy the food, the tastier it is.”

“Ph, the protein is delicious too.”

“It’s just a lie. You said The higher the calories, the tastier it is. So let’s go get some high-calorie pizza.”

“You mean pizza? Are those lumps of carbohydrates?”

“Then, what about the tteokbokki we ate yesterday and what we ate at the PC cafe?”

“It was a commemoration of meeting you. Besides, yesterday was cheating day. Today is news day.”

“Cheating, what?”

I remembered the female: cheating I saw in the eyes of the moment. However, she let go of those thoughts and focused on convincing her demon lord.

“Are you okay. If you ate, you can subtract that much.”

“Then, are you saying that you will join us in today’s sparring?”

“Uh… Is that so?”

“Good! Let’s go get some pizza!”

It was the future me who suffered anyway. Rather than worrying about the future that has yet to come, he just chose the hungry present.

However, the demon king did not put down the protein he had heard, but rather picked up another one and headed to the counter. He asked while watching the payment on the unmanned calculator.

“No, are you eating pizza?”

“You don’t even know that? You have to eat protein within 30 minutes of exercising to prevent muscle loss. Come on, eat!”

The demon king handed me the protein, and as soon as I got on the kickboard, he started eating the protein himself. Although the appearance was a little absurd, I also opened the lid and ate the protein. At the same time, he habitually took out his phone to check if he had brought anything.

There was a message from Yuri. The content was that the conversation with the chief in the hallway was about going to a PC bang. The time he came was roughly right after he was taken away by the demon king, and other than that, there were no other messages.

To be honest, I thought about what to send.

As the demon king told me, he was right about the exaggeration. He tried to approach the Demon King openly in front of me, who was close to Yuri, or even known to him. He was spurned, but it was clear that he was trash.

I wondered if it would be good to let such a guy meet Yuri. Even considering that it was a first love that didn’t come true, I felt like I should tell my friend who went through elementary, middle and high school with me.

With that in mind, I tried to tell the truth. But at that moment, the situation just before going to another world came to mind. Yuri kissing Hwadae under the street lamp, my gift in her hand. Not stopping there, I remembered what Yuri had said to me yesterday. Why did you talk to the demon king to him, he said he was sad.

Jiheon: Is it true that you asked me to go to a PC cafe?

Jiheon: Why?

I know very well that I shouldn’t send it like this. However, it was Yuri’s choice that met the hype. You have to take responsibility for your own choices.

I was looking at the screen while thinking about this, but suddenly the number 1 disappeared from my message. It didn’t stop there, but a call came from Yuri.

Glancing at the demon king, she had already finished drinking her contents and peeling off the vinyl of her protein plastic bottle. I said to Ma Wang, “Wait a minute,” And left her convenience store. She sees Demon King standing inside a convenience store and she picks up the phone.

“Hello.”

-Jiheon-ah. It’s me, Yuri.

“I know. I saved your number.”

– Oh, is that so?

I heard glass giggling through the phone. Then, she asked in a gloomy tone.

-Hey, you know.

“Why?”

-Is Ha-jun really asking you to go to an internet cafe?

“… Yes, it was. No, he said he wants to go with me. You too.”

-Okay? You know I don’t go to internet cafes.

“Did the hype say that?”

– Wait, I’ll call you later.

Pop

It sounded like she was startled by something, but she said it and cut it off abruptly. I was looking at my phone not knowing when to call, but someone tapped my shoulder.

“Did the phone call go well?”

Was the devil She put her hand on my shoulder with a confident smile, as always. The demon king lowered her hand and said.

“Go now! To eat pizza! But where are you going to eat?”

“Okay. I heard that it is often eaten in fruits.”

“Oh oh! As expected, cheap!”

“What a bargain! Noisy. Where would you like to eat?”

The thought of eating outside crossed my mind for a moment, but I immediately withdrew it. Just being led by the demon lord and running around today was enough to attract attention.

Is there a way to eat quietly without being noticed by others? Oh right!

“Would you like to eat in my room?”

“You mean your own room? What are you trying to do there!”

The demon king exaggeratedly shrank his body. She looked at it and she asked, dumbfounded.

“If I fight you, will I lose?”

“Well, yes!”

As expected, the Demon King answered with a confident smile.

“Ruler! Then go to your room.”

“Wait, wait. Wouldn’t it be better to order from here than order to arrive?”

I think the demon king agreed and headed to the room together. After talking about the military experience in another world, I arrived at my room in no time. As soon as I entered the room, the pizza arrived, and me and the demon king sat on the floor and prepared the pizza to eat. At that moment, Yuri called again.

I got up and walked to the front door to answer the phone.

“Uh! Hello!”

The demon king, who I didn’t answer the phone, opened the box and ate the pizza.

– Jiheon. Where are you now?

“Me now? I’m in my own room?”

-Thank god. Could I see it now?

“Now?”

-Yeah, I’m right in front of the building where you live. Wait in the room
