Chapter 12 - Volume 2 (2/2)
“Cohness to dirty your hands”
“No, there is h reason, Lala You are my lover Be it a false cover or not you are still my fiancée The ridicule you receive thus becomes my humiliation The ridicule I receive thus becomes your humiliation How could there possibly be no value!?”
“……”
“Don’t worry How could I possibly tell you to kill your own mother Just wait patiently I’ll take care of it discretely I’ll make sure to not allow that kind of trash froain First bribe the guards and……”
Slap
I wasn’t able to comprehend what had happened tothat I had never expected to happen
I looked at Lapis Lazuli with a dazed face, still unable to believe what had happened
“Lord Dantalian”
“……”
“This one said to co in my chest settled down
Lala had slapped me just now
That itself was not a problem Did I not also hit her cheek several times earlier? An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth She naturally had the rights to hit me as well However, the fact that ‘Lazuli had hit ave hness finally calmed down?”
“I’m sorry I did not hit you earlier because I wanted to I apologize for swinging my hand like some brute I really a sincere or not”
I spoke in a low voice
“If I did not properly ht that in the end, you’d be the one to be hurt At the price of becouarantee your safety I will vow on this, I did not have any ulterior motive”
“This one knows, but that is not the problem”
Lapis Lazuli shook her head
“There is no reason to apologize for hitting this one This one is a peasant Just being by your highness Dantalian’s side this one is able to bask in an undeserved privilege The real proble else”
“What do you hness not know?”
This type of questions drove me mad
The other person had the answer but I did not If that was so, then I should have the right to at least know the question, but for some reason the other person held back both the answer and the question Was this not excessively unfair?
“Lala I do not wish to have a debate with you”
“It is not a debate”
Lapis Lazuli bowed her head
“It is a simple test”
And then Lala left the roo for my permission to be excused
I suddenly found myself alone in the room and blankly stared at the empty space in front of me It was then that a half-transparent noticeappeared
[Lapis Lazuli’s affection went down by 1]
For a long time I stared vacantly at the notice Because there was no one else in the room to hear my words, I muttered weakly towards the empty air
“…… What was the proble could be heard through the

“What was the problem?”
Barbatos looked as if she was at a loss for words
It was the kind of face that looked as if she wanted ue and commit suicide
“You tried to kill your lover’s mom!”
Hm
“……So what?”
“Oh Goddess Persephone Good God Why you haven’t taken away this idiotic wuss yet is beyond me”
Barbatos covered her forehead with her hand
“Dantalian Do you want me to tell you really, really honestly?”
“A truthful ansould be much better than a hypocritical answer”
“Before hearing your story, I sincerely advised you to break up with your succubus lover, right? But now it’s really vague You retard If you’re going to be slapped by an outcast, then you deserved to have been slapped hundreds and thousands of times”
“Oi What would you have done then?”
I lowered the ice pack
The cheek that was slapped by Lala was still hot
“There’s a girl that you really love But this girl, disregarding her own volition, was born into this world purely because of her parent’s mistake As soon as she had left the womb she was immediately branded as an ‘outcast’ Even now, Barbatos, you disregard her as well”
Barbatos creased her brows
“I don’t ignore people based on social status I differentiate them”
“You mean discriminate Anyways, that’s fine In brief, the utter was that old hag What was I supposed to do? What would you have done?”
The people who I despised the roup of individuals that had a child irresponsibly My father had done so, and so had my mother
Nor it was for a child whose life was already ruined at the age of 10 However, co Her life was crue of 1
“I can’t forgive that old wo damn it I shouldn’t have worried about what Lapis had in mind and just killed that woman then and there”
“Dantalian……”
With a sound effect a hologram displayed in front of me
[The other party is disappointed in you]
[Demon Lord Barbatos’ affection went down by 3]
“You’re quite the twisted guy, aren’t you”
Barbatos gave me a look of sympathy
“You look perfectly fine but the inside of your skull is defective You don’t even realize that you look like a ht now, do you?”
“I’m perfectly normal”
“There are two types of people who claim that they are perfectly normal One is a murderer, and the other is a soon to be htly
She stared at me very seriously
“Anyone will make mistakes as they live their life Of course, if they make a mistake then they should be punished Up to that point is fine But you’re stating that the punishment must be execution no matter what And at your lover’s birth mother, at that”
“If there is a whore who deserves to die, then they should”
Barbatos let out a sigh
“…… Did you say your lover’s name was Lapis Lazuli? damn she’s admirable How the hell was she able to deal with you? If it were o You two really should just break up”
“Are you taking ht now or Lala’s?”
“I don’t know, you idiot”
Barbatos scratched her head
“I was hoping that an actual useful rookie had appeared after such a long time, but isn’t he just a complete mental patient? Haaa, my fate is always like this…… If you take out his love affairs then he sort of seems okay, but how the hell do I make this retard function like an actual person……”
“hello? I can hear everything you’re saying”
“Of course you did since I wanted you to hear it Mr bitch, I’ressive form on whether if I should appoint myself to be your nanny This is quite the deep shi+t”
Barbatos clutched her forehead and groaned
It was like she was conte to step into someone else’s life
If you become concerned with another person’s personal problem then you’d most likely end up in an endless swa
I wonder if she had finally ”
Barbatos had an expression that appeared as if she had resigned herself to a knot so? About what?”
“You du about your love business From what you’ve told e problem between you and your succubus lover yet You ht to result in a break up Just what kind of shi+t did you pull during the rest of the month that made that kid so appalled at you?”
“I see you’re talking in a tone as if you’re already certain that I’m the one at fault”
“Yeah I’m certain If you think it’s unfair then prove your innocence, tsk……”
Barbatos gazed out the
It was still ht
As if she was estiht, Barbatos narrowed her eyes The sunlight polished her calves and slid down the
Even the sunlight would be pleased by the fact that it had kissed Barbatos’ leg There was no doubt that it’d at least be happier than falling onto ure, then I may have even fallen for her
“……Oi Where are you looking at?”
Barbatos was glaring this way as if she was looking at so rotten
I responded honestly
“I was ad”
“It’s not free so if you want to ad instead”
“Say that after you shave all your leg hair”
I shrugged
“I obtained information”
Barbatos tilted her head
“What information?”
“A small letter There was no name and no sender written on it Only two sentences ritten on it with a quill pen The content was quite memorable”
I took out a piece of paper from my pocket and passed it over
<tbody></tbody>
“Hmm”
Barbatos let out a noise froht up threat is written here, huh”
“I see it lance it looks like a bluff”
“Look at the lines carefully, Barbatos It may only be two sentences but many contexts implications are hidden within them First, ‘You have an ene that ‘I am not your enemy’”
This was too mild to be treated as a threat letter
That hen I had received this o, Lala and I had contemplated about it
Who, hat intention, would have sent this kind of letter
“Looking at the writing style, the personage who had written this letter is of the upperclass and has received professional education By the way the words are slightly tilted, you can judge the person is either right-handed or ambidextrous”
“…… You can tell all that?”
“This is all nothing more than assumptions”
I leaned back into the chair
I continued talking in a coh chance that the person is engaged in business at the top”
Barbatos creased her brows
“Haa? Why the top?”
“If you have eyes then look at the number”
<tbody></tbody>
“There’s a coh chance that the person is working in a high position”
“……”
Barbatos still had a confused face
It seeood at turning her head in this kind of places I let out a sigh and kindly explained it for her
“Nor numbers in the thousands They usually write it as 2000 without any special symbol But the person to have written this letter had habitually added a co, a person who nore amount of money
A person ould always put a comma whenever three 0’s were besides each other
A person who interacted with large numbers like 1,000,000 on a day-to-day basis
“There’s no doubt that this person deals with either accounting docurand chamberlain for a territory, or they could be a h position”
“Is that so……”
Barbatos made a wry face as she looked down at the letter
“Your brain really isn’t there for nothing”
“Don’t be moved already There’s still 5 hidden truths in this letter But if I were explain each and every one of them then I’d die of boredom, so I’ll skip them”
Since olden ti off your partner’s clothes you had to carefully rele layer at a ti their clothes off all at once?
Everything was at its highest point of beauty when half-stripped Like a wo than a fully nude woman, secrets had the best taste when only stripped here and there and then cooked
C’est si bon
“This guy is a completely perverted bastard, isn’t he?”
After listening to my esthetics, Barbatos’ face distorted
“Anyways, you’re saying that there’s a high possibility that the culprit is a ht?”
“Mm At least from the outside”
I scratched my forehead
“Thankfully, I have a deep friendshi+p with merchants If, perhaps, the person to have sent this letter really was aa prank, then it would be more than easy to catch the culprit”
“Hm? How?”
I smiled smoothly
“I told you Merchants are my friends”
