Chapter 549 – Chapter 549 – Abyss

◈

I followed Jason into the streets at night.

Strangely, however, today, as soon as Nino entered the street at night, he did not run towards me.

As if he noticed me like that, Mr. Jason told me.

“Nino is waiting for you in Inma’s paradise.”

Perhaps… Do you want to see what Nino and I do?

Mr. Jason is not the four torase. Is he the type of person who is excited to see what others are doing?

Umm… Mr. Jason is a colleague who overcame the flood together.

If Jason wants to show it to you…

While I was thinking about that, I arrived at Inma’s paradise.

“Kyaaah~ Grand Sex King~~♡♡”

“Welcome~♡♡”

Today, the succubus of Umma Paradise welcomed me with cheers when they saw me.

“As rumor has it, it’s popular.”

“Ahaha…”

I went into the room with Mr. Jason and Mr. Nino as usual.

However, there were two more unexpected people besides Nino.

“Oh, you’re here, Jason. What, there’s Rant.”

“Hey, Rant.”

“Welcome, Mr. Rant~♡♡♡”

“Mr. Craig, Ms. Amanda.”

The ones in the room were Mr. Craig and Mr. Amanda, who, like Mr. Jason, had organized a party in Flood together.

I hope you play multiple games… !?

“Hey, Jason, even if I am, why are Mr. Craig and Mr. Amanda… “

“I’ll explain why from now on. Please sit down first.”

“Ah yes.”

I sat quietly.

Then Mr. Craig crossed his arms and said to Mr. Jason.

“Then tell me. Why did you call me and Amanda without going into details? Besides, I don’t think Rant doesn’t know either.”

“I’m sorry for calling you suddenly. Originally, I would have explained and waited for a decision, but the situation seemed unusual, so it ended like this.

“Isn’t the situation serious?”

“First of all, I think you guys are trustworthy people. I think you’re also people who will protect your secrets properly. So… I will reveal my identity.”

Mr. Jason untied the cloth covering his face his.

The cloth was undone, exposing Jason’s face his.

Dark hair, light purple skin, yellow eyes and slightly pointed ears.

Seeing that characteristic, I thought of a race.

“Jason you…”

“Yes, I am a demon.”

Mr. Jason was a demon.

Amanda raised a corner of her mouth and spoke to Jason.

“Hmm, was the reason you wrapped it in a cloth to hide your identity?”

“Yes, but…”

“However?”

“I personally like the style that is wrapped around the fabric.”

“Uh, uh, yeah? That’s good.”

Unlike Mr. Craig and Mr. Amanda, Mr. Nino was not surprised to see Mr. Jason’s true identity.

“Did you know Nino from the beginning?”

At my question, Mr. Nino immediately nodded his head.

“Yeah♡ When Jason first came to Fle Dan~ I was the one who was asked to cooperate so that he could integrate well into Fle Dan~.”

“She’s a succubus. She’s a so-called demon. She had in mind that she would n’t get much help back then… But she got a lot of help from her.”

“Well~ Jason didn’t look like he was going to have an accident~. Rather, I advised him several times that it would be nice to take off that cloth and go around freely, but he didn’t listen.”

“It’s still an uncomfortable world for demons to openly walk around.”

Certainly, I had never seen an adventurer who was a demon like Mr. Jason in Fledan.

Jason asked, looking at me, Mr. Craig, and Mr. Amanda.

“Rant, Craig, Amanda. What do you guys think of my true identity?”

“Uh… To be honest, it’s the first time I’ve seen a demon like Jason, so all I can think of is that Jason is a demon.”

“Same with Rant.”

“Even if he it’s a demon, it’s not like they’ve harmed us, so really? I don’t think so.”

At our answer, Mr. Jason sighed and laughed.

“Yes, you are like that, I wanted to ask you a favor.”

“What is your request?”

At Mr. Craig’s question, Mr. Jason looked around us once and said.

“Rant, Craig, Amanda. I want you to come to the Abyss with me.”

Abyss.

I’ve heard of it from Elsie before.

The name of the country of demons in the north was Abyss.

“Abyss? Are you asking me to go into exile?”

“No, I want you to go to the Abyss together… And escort me.”

“An escort? You? Even if you don’t have an escort, you’re enough.”

“Thank you for acknowledging my skills. But… There are people in the Abyss who are more skilled than me.

“Who are you going to fight with?”

“Depending on the situation, battles may occur. That’s why I want to ask you, who I trust. Especially Rant… I want you to follow me.”

In fact, since I’m the strongest of Fledan, it was understandable that Mr. Jason asked me.

But why didn’t Zen call?

“I’m glad you’re relying on me. But why didn’t you call Zen?”

Misha is a B rank, and since she is a priest, taking her to the country of demons might be like that.

“At first, I tried to ask, but Jen is busy recently. Rant, the restaurant you frequent regularly serves land octopus dishes, so other A-rank adventurers have made a lot of requests to other A-rank adventurers.”

“Ahh~ Come to think of it, something like that happened.”

“I didn’t accept them because they were disgusting.”

“Zen is currently hunting down the Land Octopus. She didn’t call because the three of us here are enough.”

It seems I unintentionally increased the distance of Zen-san’s request.

“Hey, it takes a lot because it’s power, but if it’s power, isn’t it enough for one Rant even if we don’t have it?”

“Emergency situations may arise. Anyway, it’s better to have about three people. … Then, I’ll start with a full-fledged explanation. Nino.”

“Yeah~ here~!”

Mr. Nino handed something to Mr. Jason.

There was a picture drawn cutely inside the wooden frame.

Yeah, it was the Picture Theater.

Besides, it was a cute painting style.

“First of all, as you all know, we demons are creatures created by the Bane God.”

The picture is cute, but Jason’s serious and handsome voice harmonized.

Mr. Jason continued his explanation as he flipped through the pictures step by step.

“The demons had such a strong urge to destroy that it was said that they were imprinted in their souls to kill the creatures created by Solisin.

After the demon king was defeated by the hero, the urge to destroy disappeared, but the devil and other races have gone through the process of reappearing and causing the urge to destroy again… In the process, the goals of the demons and other races only grew.

Still, hundreds of years have passed since the last generation of demon kings were defeated and the demon king of status began to rule. There are demons who harmonize with other races, starting with the succubus.”

“Yeah~♪”

“Even among demons, there are many people who want to make peace with other races. But, on the other hand, there are those who take a hard line, saying that the original life of demons is struggle. The two powers have been fighting for hundreds of years. The days that have been maintained continue to this day. But that balance is about to break recently.”

The story is obviously serious, but the drawn picture is like a picture fairy tale telling children, so it is not a joke.

As if I wasn’t the only one who felt that, Amanda raised her hand and said.

“Hey, I’m sorry I interrupted Jason.”

“Whatever, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, Amanda.”

“… Who drew that picture?”

“It’s me.”

A picture drawn by Mr. Jason himself.

I drew this by myself to make it easier for us to explain.

“That’s right? It’s a cute picture.”

“Thank you. I think I’ve drawn a pretty good picture.”

Mr. Jason smiled happily.

It seems that you like to draw.

“I will continue the explanation. The decisive factor for the balance to be disrupted is the incident that occurred in Bridan.”

“Bridan?”

“Yes, it happened in Camel to be exact. Rant, you know it because you were there, right? The descent of Solisin.”

“Ah yes.”

It seems that the incident in Camel was related to Lelia-san as well.

“Has the spirit of Solisin descended and created a sense of crisis?”

“There’s a little bit of that too. But the most important thing… It happened a few days after the incident happened. Look at this.”

Mr. Jason removed the cloth wrapped around his arm.

A black lightning pattern appeared faintly on Jason’s forearm.

“That…”

“This is the black lightning that is also the symbol of the Bane God. It is said that this pattern appeared all at once among the demons who inherited the blood of the demon king.”

“Wait, that’s… You, Jason, are you saying you’re the blood of the demon king?”

“In terms of blood relationship, yes. The demon king is also a living being, so he had children. But I have too little blood to be considered a blood relation to the demon king.”

In other words, can we think of Jason as a descendant of his in-laws, not the direct descendant of the demon king?”

“Even me, to the extent that these patterns appear… I received information that the current royal family has more intense patterns. According to other information, there are many people who have become more violent or stronger after this pattern appeared. The troublesome thing is that the one who showed the most power amplification… Is the second prince who leads the hardliners.”

“What exactly should we do when we go to the Abyss with Jason?”

“My escorts… To be precise, the escorts of the First Prince faction to which I belong… I would like them to cooperate in the event of a combat situation.”

“How long? You can’t be away for a long time, right?”

“Of course, I’m aware of it. With this incident as an opportunity, the Abyss is going to hold a meeting to decide the next king. There, the 1st and 2nd princes are planning to make a decision. Until then, I hope that the Abyss will act with me.”

“What date is the meeting held?”

“A week later.”

“… Hey, Abyss here. No, the capital of the Abyss must have been Bendina, right? It takes two weeks to get there, so what are we going to do?”

“I know. That’s why… I’m asking Rant. If it’s Rant, I can get from Fledan to Vendina in one day.”

It is possible enough if you tell me the direction if you are sure to fly.

“Ah~ Come to think of it, there was a rant.”

Ms. Amanda thought for a moment as she stroked his chin, then spoke to Ms. Jason.

“So, in the end, we go together and wait with you until the day of the meeting. And if a fight breaks out on the day of the meeting, I ask you to fight together while protecting the first prince, right?”

“Exactly. I will suggest that I give the first prince a hefty reward.”

“I don’t care, what about you Kreig?”

“You mean you can fight guys stronger than Jason if you have a fight? It’ll be fun? Hey, Rant! How are you?”

“I’m fine too. To be honest, I’m curious about what kind of place the Abyss is. By the way, is Jason’s member of the First Prince faction moderate?”

“Yes, he is someone who wants to continue to live in harmony with other races. The reason I came to Fledan… Is to experience and share the news about the culture here. Bigger.”

Then I have no reason to refuse.

“Then there’s no problem. Helping Jason is the best thing in the world, right? I’ll do my best to cooperate.”

In the first place, it was clear to the eyes that the world would be in chaos if the second prince, the hardliner, lost the real power.

In that case, it would be good for me to help Jason to make the world a little more peaceful while touring the Abyss.

“It’s reassuring to hear you say that.”

“Hey, Amanda. As long as I have a Rant, I don’t think I’ll worry much. Shall we enjoy sightseeing in Abyss too?”

“Let’s do our job properly, my love. Well, but the meeting will be held in a week, right? There will be some time until then… Hey, is there anything interesting in Jason Abyss?”

“Compared to the past, things and cultures from other countries have been accepted a lot, so I won’t be bored.”

By the time the story turns to the flow of accepting Jason’s request.

Nino smiled brightly and raised his hand.

“Yes, yes, Jason.”

“What is it, Nino?”

“I’ll follow you too!”
