Chapter 159 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [10] (1/2)

159. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [10]

He slowly stood up, gripping his Black Sword.

At the same time, he gave off a tremendous bloodlust which sent shivers down my spine.

He seems to be full of motivation, but… that’s a little troublesome.

「W-Wait, wait, I didn’t come here today for that! I just want to talk to you for a second!」

「…Talk?」

「Yeah. We don’t have to fight every time we see each other, right?」

When I told him that I’m not here to fight,

「…Tsk. If it’s boring talk, I’ll beat you to death right away.」

He sat down on the huge rock, while clicking his tongue loudly.

Surprisingly, he agreed to talk.

「Then, I’d like to confirm one thing. Your name is『Zeon』, right?」

「Obviously. You call upon the name of the spirit core and borrow its power, that’s what a soul dress is.」Zeon said, glaring at me.

(A-As expected, we can’t have a “friendly talk”, after all…)

Before his mood gets any worse, I’ll ask what I want to know right away.

「Hey, Zeon. That demon, Zerey Grazario, was saying something about “the darkness of House Rodore”, wasn’t he? So, is this not your darkness?」

I asked, bringing forth jet black darkness on my right palm.

「…………That thing is my true, authentic darkness.」

He gave a half-hearted roundabout answer after a short pause.

(He’s… hiding something.)

An evasive answer, very unlike Zeon.

He’s not very good at lying, apparently.

(But I don’t think he’ll give me a straight answer even if I pushed further.)

There is some sort of secret to this darkness. Moreover, the secret is to the extent where even Zeon wants to hide it.

That alone is an important piece of information.

(It would be better to move on to the next question…)

Then, I immediately asked another question.

「I see. Then how did Zerey know you? Did you happen to know each other?」

「Who the hell knows… I can’t remember each and every single one of those weak demons…」

This time I got an immediate reply.
