NOVEL NEXT chapter 53
53. Kids… ?
“Let’s get together after the lecture.”
Lethe, whom I met in the morning, told all the demon lords through Marmar.
Thanks to that, the black devil couldn’t concentrate on anything, let alone in the morning, all afternoon.
“Ashu.”
Then Mar Mar saw her Astaroth passing by humming her song and snatched her away.
“Eh.”
If someone else had done this, they might have slammed it to the ground, saying, “I’m crazy.”
But the opponent is skinny. He always reacted like this when he did something. So Astaroth, not angry, but reflexively shouted, ‘I didn’t do anything!’
“… Really?”
“I don’t know why all of a sudden, I really didn’t do anything?! Even at the club, I try to use only pretty words, and I don’t talk in the lectures of human professors, and I listen hard without falling asleep!”
Must be mixed. Only then will Lethe be able to keep her from falling out with her people because of them. If they don’t change, they can never be together.
Because of that, Astaroth was working hard.
“Mmm.”
Marmar looked at the eyes of the red devil and let go of the wrist he had grabbed.
“Oh, it hurts.”
While fiddling with his red, swollen wrist, Astaroth secretly noticed Mar Mar.
What the hell is going on? Why did Marmar react like that in the first place?
“My older brother told us to gather after the lecture.”
“… Uh? Wait a minute really?”
“Then do you think I would do this as a joke?”
The reason the two demon kings react like this is simple. Ever since I was living with Lethe in the past, when he said something like that, I would always get scolded no matter how big or small that day.
If there’s something to say, it’s Lette’s style of moving yourself. If he wants all four of them to gather, then that’s the only thing. It is certainly.
That’s why Marmar was suspicious of Astaroth. Even back then, when Lethe asked everyone to gather, almost 70% of the reason was Astaroth.
“I really am not.”
“Really?”
“It’s unfair. It’s really unfortunate. I really didn’t do anything.”
Citrina, didn’t El do something? Or Mar you too!
I’m confident too. I’ve never done anything wrong. After exchanging doubts, the two demon kings went to find the remaining two demon kings.
And whenever I met Citri and El, I brought up the story of Lethe and had the same doubts.
“I didn’t do anything? The master has nothing to say.”
“… I drew it. Pictures only.”
I couldn’t hear anything that was particularly troubling.
In this case, there are two cases. At least one out of four is lying.
Otherwise, Lethe is calling them for a completely different reason.
“Let’s go for now. Why is Uncle calling me?”
“I have to go. But I’m afraid I’ll get scolded if I go.”
“Ashu, isn’t it really you?”
“… I’m worried.”
If others saw this, wouldn’t they be surprised and say, ‘The beings called demons are worried too!’ They are the ones who will crash into something to worry about and either break themselves or break the things they worry about.
“Are you here?”
And when the four demon kings entered Lethe’s room.
“… Hiccup.”
“Hey.”
“Oops.”
“Okay, I was wrong. Mister.”
The four demon kings were surprised almost at the same time and prayed that they were wrong.
This atmosphere right now, that’s it. I made a huge mistake, so Lethe wowed! And before getting angry.
At times like this, it’s better to say ‘I was wrong!’ Rather than ‘He did something wrong!’ It is certain that these are all things they have experienced in the past.
The demon lords pray that they did nothing wrong, but they did something wrong. And the war hero who looks at the demon lords and wonders, “Why are these guys suddenly doing this?”
“No, wait a minute. I didn’t call you to scold you.”
“Wrong… Uh?”
“Really, brother?”
“Yes. No, before that. What did you guys do wrong?”
“No! Doesn’t exist! Never!”
“No, Master!!”
What are you so afraid of when you don’t have one? So it seems like you guys really did something big wrong. In case I did something else without knowing… Isn’t it? Yes?
Lethe scans the demon lords once with an expression of ‘I can’t believe it’. Fortunately, the evil demon king who lies was not caught on his radar.
“You all sit here.”
“… Mister. Aren’t you really scolding me?”
“No.”
Even at Lete’s heartfelt words, Astaroth gave a suspicious look, saying ‘Hmm.’
It’s like saying ‘there are no beans in today’s rice’ and then voila! It is like a child who is worried that rice will not come out.
“Kuhm. Hmm.”
The Demon Kings were even more anxious since they were even clearing their coughs like that. Glancing at each other, ‘Hey. Confess now.” “What? I’m innocent!&Quot “Who! Who did it!’ ‘… Not me.’
“Once… I want to say sorry first.”
So when an apology came out of Lethe’s mouth, not ‘Say it right now.’
“”””… Yes?””””
Miraculously, the four demon kings were able to ask that question at the same time.
“You’ve heard everything, so what else are you doing? Therefore. I’m sorry. To you.”
“Oh no! For a moment! Wait, mister!”
“Brother? Go, why are you suddenly like this?!”
“What have we done wrong! Master!”
“… I was wrong.”
No, kids. It’s really not like that. Why can’t you trust people so much?
Calming the demon lords who were ready to kneel down once again, Lethe began to explain the reason she was doing this.
I have been pushing you guys away without realizing it. It shouldn’t have been like this, but if one of the four was chosen first, would the rest feel sad or resentful? I was hesitant because I was afraid of it.
I know your heart. How can you not know? They are giving their all for themselves. Even though he was the demon king, he gave up his position as the demon king and came here.
“So, now I’m going to try too. Although it will take a little more time. One day it’s just what you see, and another day you’re lucky. I may not be able to explain who I chose for what reason, but still….”
“Old man!”
“Geeek.”
Something bright red rushed at Lethe. I will correct it. It wasn’t just red.
“Brother!!”
“Master!”
“… And.”
Black, blue, and even silver. Each of the four demon kings becomes a meteor and burrows into their arms.
Thanks to that, Lethe had to roll on the floor without finishing what she was saying.
“My children. I’m trying my best to make up my mind and create some atmosphere….”
“What’s so important about that! Your heart is the most important thing!”
“Thank God! We don’t have to fight each other over our brother!”
“We don’t care! Whatever the master wills!”
“… I will follow you.”
Um. I was expecting something more serious. So, who is the first? By what criteria do you decide that? The rest then get angry at not being the first, so what should I do?
Well, I was groaning inwardly, thinking that these questions might fly, and I was even trying to come up with a good answer somehow.
‘It was a waste of time.’
It’s okay. If it’s these demon lords, it’s still there. These are women who have no choice but to do this. I expected. I did, but I was moaning, thinking that there was such a thing as a “What if.”
What was it that scared you so much? Even though they don’t even think about it.
Lethe smiled and threw her words at her once in a playful way.
“Then, after all, is Ashu the first?”
“Why?!”
“Unacceptable!”
“No.”
… No, wait. Hey guys. That you can all accept But if it comes out like this, it will inevitably be too much of a burden for me to set the order.
“Uh. Wait. What did I just say?”
“Did you just tell the owner that you couldn’t accept it?! Me, me?!”
“… No. This, this is not me.”
What is this situation? Lethe was genuinely taken aback, and she said nothing.
Instead, Astaroth, who had been watching them pathetically, opened her mouth with her arms crossed.
“Are you kidding me?! Just a little while ago, he said he would follow whatever decision you made! So how do you fit in first?! This is why you put me first….”
“No. Ashu first hold off.”
“Why! Why baby!! Why not me?! Explain it!!!”
Damn it. You are the same And what are you preaching to the kids? As if Lethe was really frustrated, she had to touch her forehead.
This is… It’s like that. That’s for sure The nature of demons that pops out whenever you forget. A heart that cannot be tolerated unless it is oneself. That’s why I have to somehow let go of the kkaengpan to solve my intuition.
‘Children… Don’t worry… The situation is like this, how can I not worry….’
With Lethe holding her face in her hands, she had to look at the four Demon Kings who were arguing passionately.
