chapter 25
25 – Episode 22: The Demon Capital is Life! – 2
There are all sorts of shitty things in the world, but why am I the only one who has to go through so many f*cking things?
It’s like a dog tied to this world without any ability, no, f*ck, all of the pups living here are like dogs, to the point where I’m on fire.
In particular, I was getting more and more angry because it seemed familiar somewhere.
“Bitch! Stop talking bullshit and give me the rabbit!”
I shouted with a puzzled look on my face.
“Do you want to take these children with you?”
“Yes, I can finally speak. It’s our request, so let’s not raise our voices.”
Have you finally made up your mind to talk?
I let out a sigh of relief and nodded.
“there’s nothing we can do. Since they are children who have already passed away, I will transfer them in exchange for half of the request.”
“What…just…what…?”
I wondered if I had heard wrong.
No, I hope I heard it wrong.
I hope it didn’t go there.
I begged and begged because I didn’t want to face the worst.
“Didn’t you hear? I asked for half of the request for the precious lives of these children. Of course, the money goes to the children’s graves and our group budget… ”
I covered my face with both hands and took a deep breath.
I really hoped.
They were also human, so they doubted inwardly how they could have fallen that far.
But I never dreamed that I would really go all the way.
I even heard tinnitus in my ears from the shock that was difficult to handle.
In a sense, it could be said to be the most evil among the many chews we met so far.
“No, when a person speaks, the answer is…”
“You crazy bitch!!!”
I let out a loud voice raised from the danjeon at the woman who spoke to me with a frown on her brow.
Oh my God, have you seen these bitch bitches?
No matter how much it was, the price of the demon’s life was an idea that couldn’t be done without going crazy.
“Why are you screaming all of a sudden! why! Is there anything wrong with what I said?”
“Then why not? You f*cking crazy bitch.”
“Where the hell am I wrong? I can’t understand. Without even a valid reason… ”
“Okay, let’s hear the damn rationale. Say something.”
I thought I’d try to find out what was the reason for my anger stretching to the top of my head.
“I’ll tell you this once, so listen up. Rabbits with fangs are basically omnivorous, so they eat poisonous plants, even small bugs and monsters that carry germs, so they are more beneficial than harm to humans.
We humans can live in peace because it protects against various infectious diseases and poisonous insects instead of humans. Even going against the providence of nature and killing children… ”
My head almost went blank.
I was so dumbfounded that I even laughed out loud.
f*ck that great reason is only that elementary school level brain, how in the world can the level of intelligence be so low.
I was confused about whether it was the same person.
“Is that a good reason? If it’s a reasonable ground to make graves for the baby beasts scattered all over the world, f*ck you, can I say that I punched you in the face and had no choice because it’s the providence of nature?”
I stepped forward to her and began to speak in a menacing tone.
“… I will not speak at length. You decide whether to pay for your life or stop the abusive behavior.”
The woman crossed her arms and spoke confidently to me.
I lost my sense of reason for a moment at that sight, and I approached her and roughly snatched the rabbit carcass from her hands.
“Speak nonsense. As a human being, I have limits to my patience.”
I roughly brought the rabbit carcass back and told them proudly.
f*ck I don’t want to give it to them, but what will they do?
Well, if it came out physically, I wouldn’t stand still, so I thought, if you’re going to try it, try it.
“okay? Then there is nothing you can do.”
The woman seemed to give up surprisingly easily.
I was taken aback by the sight and tilted my head.
No, to give up so easily after doing all that shit a while ago… It was strange.
“Instead of not getting paid, you will have to pay for it.”
“What do you mean by price…”
“You will hit the ground and regret it. You went against the will of our Witchbeast Respect League today. Let me show you. Our true strength.”
The woman left a meaningful word, then turned her back without regret and started moving somewhere.
When she, who seemed to be the leader, moved, all of the Mazon Spirits turned their backs and left us as a group. She turned her head for a moment and looked in our direction.
“Respect life! Stop Abuse!”
As soon as she ran out of words that sounded like a slogan, the people of the Witchbeast Respect League began shouting the slogan like fanatics.
“Respect life! Stop Abuse!”
“Respect life! Stop Abuse!”
“Respect life! Stop Abuse!”
I was completely out of energy, as if a storm had hit me.
Kyoko and Rin also looked bewildered and did not seem to understand the current situation.
“Today, let’s just go to the inn…”
There was still a long way before the sun went down, but since we were all drained of energy from the start, we decided to go back to the inn and rest.
***
After spending some time, I ate dinner, went up to my room, got ready for bed, and lay down on the bed.
I couldn’t sleep well because the warnings they had given me earlier during the day were strangely intrusive. It looked like those brazen bitches would never get over it.
I tossed and turned in anxiety.
After tossing and turning for a while and not being able to fall asleep easily, I was able to fall asleep before I knew it. I had fallen asleep for a long time, but I opened my sleepy eyes at the suspicious movement.
Someone was on my bed.
“Ouch what the f*ck!”
“Joo-hyeok… don’t be surprised. I-it’s me…!”
As I screamed in surprise, a familiar voice came from the darkness.
The owner of that voice was none other than Rin.
“No, why Rin suddenly at dawn…”
“It’s nothing else… There’s something inside my, my blanket…”
“Something…”
I immediately got up and went to her bed.
When I turned on the lamp to illuminate the bed, something really rose up and moved around.
“what is this…”
I immediately pulled out my knife and began to gently remove the blanket.
Then, it bounced right in my face.
Suddenly, I hit my buttock backwards and pulled it off my face with my hands.
Kiik⸺!
What was caught in my hand was a rabbit with fangs that I had seen during the day.
He was struggling wildly to get out of my grasp.
“No, why the f*ck is this here?”
Seeing the wildly crowing rabbit, I wondered.
How the hell did you get into the room?
Except that it doesn’t make sense in the first place that it was attached to one of the three of us, all I can think of is that someone intentionally left it in our room.
I hurriedly looked around.
Kyoko is still in a sound sleep as if she can’t even hear the sound, and the door is locked because it has been thoroughly cracked down before going to bed.
There was only one left.
I walked over to the window and looked at it.
“These crazy bastards…”
I muttered involuntarily.
The windows were rattling wide open, and out of the windows onto the moonlit ground, a number of people in black hoods were looking up at me.
f*ck really…
It was to the point of numbness.
I couldn’t see it well, but there was something similar to the badge I saw during the day on their chest.
They made eye contact with me for a while, and soon began to disappear between the buildings in perfect order.
I didn’t know then.
That today’s incident was only at the level of aegyo.
The next morning, Rin and I were sitting at the table with very serious expressions, unable to sleep. Breakfast was bread and soup, but it just didn’t go down my throat.
Kyoko, apparently oblivious to our condition, was eating breakfast with a hearty smile.
It was a moment when I was envious of Kyoko’s insensitivity.
“Awaken the perpetrators who have no blood or tears!”
At that time, the surroundings started to become noisy as if there was a big commotion outside the inn. When I went outside, people from the Witchbeast Respect League appeared.
“There they are!”
“Are you people!”
“How could you do that to innocent demons!”
I don’t know what kind of bullshit this is from this morning, but one thing is certain, it seems that we are involved in troublesome things again.
“Have those guys lost their minds?”
“I just ignore it. If we deal with it, we will only lose.”
I shook my head and answered Kyoko’s question.
The correct answer is not to have sex with such crazy bastards.
We tried to ignore it at first, but their protests continued for nearly a week.
If you protest, you don’t even say anything.
What made those bastards even worse was their ways.
Kiyiyiik⸺!
Kiik… Kiik…!
“f*ck f*cked rabbits, go to sleep, like a f*ck dog!”
After they started protesting, a lot of fanny rabbits started appearing around the inn. During the day, the Witchbeast Respect League fed them, so it seemed that they used the area around the inn as their habitat.
Due to the nature of rabbits, they mate a lot.
For a week, except for Kyoko, Rin and I didn’t get a good night’s sleep because of that f*cking scream.
I had dark circles down to my knees.
If I beat the rabbits to death because I was so angry, they would retaliate even more intensely, and if I beat them to death, I could have been executed as a murderer.
It was a quandary.
“f*ck you! Half the commission… No, I’ll give you all the f*ck, and I won’t touch the monsters in the future, so please let me sleep comfortably.”
After only a week, we declared our unconditional surrender.
No matter how much you sleep, you have to sleep well to make money or not.
The reality was that he couldn’t even perform a mediocre hunt because he was in a bad physical condition.
f*cking dog bitches…!
One day, I will definitely take revenge.
Seeing them return with a proud expression after receiving one silver coin from me, a strong hatred welled up in me. There were many reasons for not doing so.
Only now that he knew all the facts, he could notice the reaction of the guild receptionist and adventurers.
felt it again
What not to do is what not to do.
