Chapter 44 (2/2)
And the de was…
“Yes?”
Tied up again
“Wh, what are you doing?”
“Me? I’m tied up, aren’t I?”
“Wait a… you came to me just now, didn’t you?”
At Yuria’s utterly stunned expression, the dehed and said,
“I need the hero to save ain?”
At those words, Yuria’s gaze turned to the ceiling, before her hysterical laughter echoed through the room
“Get out, right now, before I kill you!”
“Don’t be like that~ Save me~”
Even facing her bloodthirsty s
“Pahahahaha! Cough, ahahahaha!” The hed like a madman
“I have been co”
“No, I didn’t?”
“You even stopped our last card, what on earth are you talking about? The de wouldn’t even have been summoned anyway!”
“No, that’s not it If you had successfully su, I would have left you alone either way The problem was, the hero would have self-destructed”
“What are you saying now?”
Yuria scowled at the de’s words
“Like I said I don’t care whether they su, but it’s problematic if you die You’re mine, after all”
“I, I told you to stop saying that!” Yuria shrieked, her face turning red all the way to the tips of her ears
Looking on the two in disbelief, the ,
“If a de is destined to fight… It see, could defeat the hero?”
“Nope, I’er than the other des”
“What would that mean?”
“What are you on about?” (1)
Yuria and the man said simultaneously
“Oi, when did the two of you meet before, so that you can synchronise like that? Did you two, in secret… Ah, sorry, please don’t glare at me like that, hero”
“Shut up and talk”
“Yes ma’am…”
Faced with the hero’s rage, it was the de that retreated
“I told this to the hero before, I’m known as Economy in the demon world, but to be more accurate, I as are chosen existences, ruling over an aspect of the demon world, but I just happened to be talented in economics”
“Then as that earlier?”
“That was a power passed down through the des of Greed It’s not really my power but one borrowed from the demon God”
“And?”
At Yuria’s question, the de puffed up his shoulders with pride
“I regulate the econoone, the demon world falls to ruin Because of that, nearly all the other des are indebted to me one way or another And if they try to come at me with brute force, the deot my back!”
As the dehed, the black-robed man closed his eyes and said,
“I don’t kno… But it appears that I’ve been made a fool”
Those were the man’s last words
Author’s note
At the man’s last words, the man cried, Yuria cried and the author cried too…
Originally, for a stronger i to say,
“I don’t kno but I’ve been made a retard…”
Buuut I eased up for the children
But sorry, you were only the sacrificial lamb for the next chapter…
