Chapter 12 (2/2)

‘The ene, he’s probably the latter type?’

There was no doubt this de important in this wasteland

“H a di’s castle!”

The du looked at Yuria and said,

“Ehh, di about, and you’d want to build a deic point or so on this barren wasteland?”

“Th, That’s… just a change in your way of thinking!”

Deh at Yuria’s startled voice

“Perhaps the hero’s occupation was a lot siined…”

At those words, Yuria’s hand crept to the hilt of the sword, but held off due to a creeping feeling of defeat, and instead clenched her fist and struck the table hard

“Don’t bullshi+t me! Even if you did quit you still need to be held accountable for your crimes!”

The de

“So just what have I done?”

At that bullish response, Yuria let out a snort of disbelief

“Ha? You’re asking because you don’t know? Because of you, hundreds of children were sacrificed, and even more thousands of people died at your followers’ hands! The only reason I haven’t sent you off yet is because I’et you on the stands to put you on a public, open trial!”

At those words, the de propped his chin up with one hand, and with all playfulness gone from his face, said,

“I don’t think I quite get you Let ain Just what have I done?”

Kwang!

“Surely you aren’t going to say that you didn’t hearthe table hard, but the de only looked at the fallen, broken teacups and muttered,

“Oi, that teacup was expensive… That top-quality tea that I hadn’t finished drinking was expensive stuff as well…”

Looking at this figure, whoof a teacup more than sacrificed people, Yuria drew her sword and screamed,

“ARE YOU fuckING AROUND WITH ME!”

At those words loaded with killing intent, the demon lord smirked and hit the table

Tang!

“How about we make a bet?”

In his hand that struck the table were the Scales of the Chief God

“A bet?”

“Yeah, a bet If I’uilty, I will grant one of yours For exao by my oo feet How’s that?”

Yuria narrowed her eyes, her right hand always ready to bury her sword in the de’s heart

“What trick is this?”

“I have co that I have Unfair, no?”

“And how am I a criminal? Perhaps by the laws of the demon world?”

“Yep But, also, by the laws of the humans”

With the hand that was currently propping up his chin, the deer and said,

“Firstly, you said you were going to put me on trial? But, it’s written down very clearly in the laws of the e exact circumstances like rebellion, natural disasters or any such situation where destruction accuency situation, to enter someone’s home without permission you need the proper warrant to do so But you don’t have it, don’t you?”

“That’s alright because you already have caused a lot of destruction and dae”

“Oh really? Then, are you willing to bet on it?”

Was this not one of the deht But she was free of sin while the de as the Scales of the Chief God were used, she would not be at a disadvantage

“Alright Let’s bet”

“Is that so? Then, repeat after me”

The de put a hand on one side of the Scales and said,

“I swear on the name of the Chief God If I have committed the crimes that the hero accuses me of, then I will follow the hero’s every order”

“Every?”

“Yep But you have to swear likewise Because only then will it be a vow on equal terms”

Yuria hesitated at the thought of following every single order, but feeling that she couldn’t lose to the de’s bullishness, she placed her hand on the other side of the Scales and said,

“I swear by the Chief God If this de is innocent, I, Yuria Ashrien, will follow his every word”

As the deht e first towards the de this dozens of tiht vanished as if it had never existed

“Contract coin?”
