Chapter 98 – You Raised the Wrong Character. In a Resemblance.

The next room was about half as small as the original one. The interior here was not much different from before, but there was a small chest of drawers with a lock and a desk and chair like you would see in an office.

“Hmm, it’s pretty serious, isn’t it?”

The Demon King looked around the room with a confident smile. He looked very confident that he had found one last.

Of course, that figure followed her pretty girl into her room.

“Wow, one room wasn’t the end.”

Since he had come for the first time, he thought it would end in one room. However, unexpectedly, there were small rooms in a row, and since there was no exit from here, it seemed that there must be other places.

At my words, Sehee stood outside and refuted.

“Brother, it’s not expensive for nothing.”

“But. Yes. But you should come in too, Sehee.”

“Yes, hold on.”

“Be careful when you come in. There’s a chin there.”

Afraid to trip over the doorway of the cabinet that is the entrance to this room, I reached out my hand.

“Come on, hold my hand.”

“Yes?”

However, Sehee broke her haughty expression and looked at my hand with surprised eyes.

“What do you want to play? Catch.”

“No, yes?”

“Catch it.”

Unable to bear it, I moved myself and grabbed her slender hand and dragged it. While taking Sae-hee into the room carefully so she wouldn’t fall, the demon king pointed to the wall and said,

“You guys, look at this.”

“Uh? What.”

“Look at me. It has something like poetry written on it.”

“Okay?”

Saying that, I tried to point to the wall she pointed to. Then I felt that the hem of my clothes was caught somewhere.

As I lowered my head thinking that I shouldn’t stretch my clothes, I saw the slender hand I had grabbed and dragged earlier.

“Brother.”

Se-hee said with a slightly reddened face before I could even speak.

“Thank you.”

“Uh? What?”

“It’s fine if you don’t know.”

“Then you have to tell me.”

“Because it’s done. Sister, what is it?”

Then, ignoring my question, I moved to the place where the demon king was. I wanted to say something, but since Se-hee didn’t know what was going on, I thought it was just like that and moved on.

“What did you see?”

“Don’t ask, see for yourself.”

On the side the demon king pointed to, there was a picture frame the size of a human body, inside which was a piece of paper with a poem written on it.

Mother, no matter how much I search for you, I cannot find you.

Look left, look right, only bad people

What should I do in this case?

Wouldn’t it be better to look up as you who should be watching from the sky?

Or would you rather look down at the ground where your body is buried?

Mother, please give me the answer.

Finally, pray toward the sky where God is.

The Demon King who was watching with me murmured.

“What do you think this means?”

“It must be a password.”

“Do you think Jim is asking because he doesn’t know that?”

“The problem is, to find out which lock the password is for.”

I said and looked around. The only lock in this small room could only be opened by entering a number, and the drawer on the desk only had a keyhole.

Se-hee, who had the same idea as me, pointed to the lock on the chest of drawers.

“I think it would be better to solve that first.”

“Is that right?”

“Hmm, then there must be another problem…”

The demon king looked around to a place other than the wall. At the same time, Sehee and I started looking for clues in the room.

The first place I looked was a drawer. As I said before, the chest of drawers that came up to my waist was filled with a lock that could be opened by turning a number. I looked around for any clues, but there was only a wooden exterior.

Uh? Wait for a sec.

When I was looking for something suspicious, the Demon King urged me on.

“Come on, let’s solve this quickly.”

“Ah, you’re loosening up. Do you see me playing?”

“Isn’t exploration the hero’s specialty? Try to relive the experience of your previous life.”

“When I was a hero, I only did war, right?”

“You raised Carrick the wrong way. Make it resembling.”

“What is that again? Noisy. Take a look at this.”

I dismissed her bullshit and pointed to what I had found.

“Isn’t this a little strange?”

While talking, I ran my palm across the side of the drawer. Then, just looking at it, I felt a small groove hidden from view. Let’s press it with our index finger to feel like a round button,

Back… Rattle!

A sound came from the picture frame hanging on the wall.

“Hmm?”

When a sound came from the place right behind him, the demon king turned around with his white silver hair waving. At the same time, Sehee, who was looking under the desk, looked up and looked for the frame.

No, it wasn’t a picture frame, it was a small door that hid a space in the wall. When the demon king opened the framed door, a wooden box locked with a padlock came out.

“Uh! You-all! Look at this!”

The demon king shouted while holding the wooden box. As she was surprised, the box had a lock that opened by entering a direction.

“Isn’t it okay to move as written in this poem?”

As she closed the door, she read the poem written on it.

“Even if you look left and look right,”

“No, you don’t look and release it. I will read it for you.”

“Um, I see.”

I read the poem, and the demon king unlocked the lock while listening to it.

“Even if you look left and look right,”

“Left, right, then speak.”

“Looking up is up, looking down is down.”

“Um, what next?”

“I pray to the sky, so it’s up.”

After Se-hee said the final direction, the lock came undone easier than expected.

“Oooh!”

Upon seeing the unlocked lock, the demon king widened his eyes like a primitive man who had discovered fire.

“You! Jim solved this! Jim!”

“Amazing! Very well done!”

“Are you going to end it with just words of praise?”

“Uh, huh?”

“It’s like stroking your hair! Ruler!”

As she spoke, she thrust her silver-haired head. I stroked the demon king while being conscious of Se-hee watching us behind me.

“Well done.”

“Hmm!”

The demon king, who was proudly snorting and delighted, raised his head faster than usual, probably because Sehee was there.

“Enough!”

But the words did not end here. She hid behind my body and came to a position unseen by Se-hee, and spoke only through her mouth without making a sound.

The rest of the compliments are done at the motel. Hmm!

What is ‘um!’!

However, he didn’t shout because Sae-hee was behind him, but instead pretended to stroke the demon king’s head and tousled it. Then, the demon king shouted as if he was both happy and annoyed.

“Ahhh! You!”

“Okay, let’s open the box quickly.”

“Please stop doing that. I’ve been combing it at best…”

She grumbled, but a smile hung on her lips. I gently stroked the demon lord this time and opened the box.

“Sister, brother.”

In the meantime, Se-hee approached and said.

“It’s sweet. Wouldn’t it be nice to have milk here?”

“Uh, hmm?”

Leaving the demon lord who didn’t seem to know what I was talking about, I hurriedly turned my attention to the box.

“Daddy, let’s open the box quickly!”

Inside the box I opened to divert the subject, there was a key that seemed to go into the lock on the drawer.

Sehee also pointed at the desk.

“Looks like it’s over there.”

“I will say so.”

The Demon King said and took out the key. Then he went over to the desk and set the box down, inserting the key into the hole in the drawer and turning it.

Clap!

The drawer opened easier than expected. The demon king grabbed the coated paper from the open drawer.

“There is another text here. Hmm…”

But she frowned and stared at her paper.

“What. Show me.”

“I will take a look.”

Since Se-hee was closer, she saw it first than me. Then Se-hee frowned, just like her sister.

“This is going to be a bit difficult to solve.”

“Uh? Why?”

“It will be faster if you take a look.”

“What is it?”

She handed over her paper to her. OK,

“Oh, I can’t solve this.”

I found that the problem was written to do 3-digit multiplication. It was written as a hint to know if you forgot your password.

Well, it’s true that I wrote it openly. But I’m not a math ghost, so write these things down as hints. Are you a serial killer?

Anyway, that’s not what’s important now.

“Hey, can you solve this?”

“It’s hard to do mental arithmetic.”

“Originally, you should have a pen and paper…”

She trailed off and went to the room where we first started and then came back.

“No. The staff must have forgotten.”

“Okay?”

I remembered earlier that there was a walkie-talkie in a plastic basket.

“Can’t you ask for some paper and a pen on the walkie-talkie?”

“What do you do to that extent?”

“What? Of course you don’t need it.”

“Are you okay. You can do it mentally.”

“Mental arithmetic?”

Even while I was asking, Sehee tapped her palm with her index finger as if she were tapping a calculator. Then, muttering numbers, she walked over to the locked chest of drawers.

“If you do this…”

Not long after she went, the lock clicked open.

“That’s all right.”

“Really?”

“Wait a minute. What’s inside?”

Muttering Sehee, she put her hand into the open drawer. Then click! There was a sound and the wall next to the chest of drawers opened.

“Looks like the correct answer.”

He didn’t stop there and opened the door.

“This is the next room, ah.”

Suddenly she opened her eyes wide and turned to us.

“Sorry. I thought I wouldn’t…”

At those words, I looked at the demon king. She also looked at me with her surprised face, and she raised the corners of her mouth as if she was thinking the same thing.

“It’s fine.”

“Things like that happen, too.”

We approached Se-hee, who casually apologized.

“You don’t have to apologize.”

“You said it earlier. I came to have fun with you.”

At my words, Sehee also smiled and nodded like we did.

“Yes!”
