I’m not going to die

99 – Permanent Death (3)

“Wouldn’t it be nice if I could become an executive without any conditions?”

I worry in front of the demon king who asks such a question.

Does that mean he should be given the position of executive?

But it can’t be.

The position of an executive is symbolic, no matter how obligatory it may be.

There is a certain symbolism of belonging to the demon king’s army, so you can’t choose carelessly.

“…I’ll think about it.”

“It’s an opportunity that others do everything to seize, but to think about it.”

As if the demon king didn’t care, he indifferently moved on.

Soon, the place where the demon king resides inside the demon castle.

I have arrived at the real demonic castle.

In a way, this area is like a city living near the Devil Castle.

If one thing is certain, the Demon King’s residence boasted an incomparable scale.

Even if mankind had an empire and the imperial castle where the emperor of that empire resided, it would be smaller than this.

Just like the splendid scale of the castle, my welcome ceremony was also very splendid.

Humanity’s food and alcohol, which I don’t know where it came from, were on display, and around it, the main figures of the Devil’s Castle were standing every month.

I can see the executives I saw before returning, and there were also high-ranking demons.

Executives and high-ranking demons showed a favorable attitude towards me.

Same as before.

They were not wary of the person the demon king brought.

They have the same direction, recognize them as colleagues to be with, and fully accept them.

That would be the case, because most of them were talented people who brought their origins and races to different directions.

As each other was a talented person from a foreign country, there was nothing to be territorial about.

At least the high-ranking demons would feel it, but they would die if they died at the word of the demon king.

Would the demon king reject the talented people he brought after verification?

The total number of executives is ten, and there are five transcendentalists among them.

Half of them did not attend the party.

If my memory is correct, probably so.

“Nice friend, are you the new executive?”

“…”

There was a person who approached the most friendly.

A gorgeous robe covers his entire body.

Puerto.

A transcendentalist and magician who betrayed humanity and lost his surname and title.

Perhaps because he recognized me as a wizard, he approached me especially friendly.

Since there was no reason for a wizard to join the army, not a black wizard, wizards were not common within the army.

Puer looked at me calmly and put a few doubts into his mouth.

“Magic realm doesn’t seem to be the ability to rise to the ranks, but it seems that there is something else hidden power, maybe black magic? A wizard can’t have such a deep reverberation of magic.”

“I know you well.”

Somehow, when I become a Transcendentalist, everyone seems to notice that I am a warlock.

He sighed and moved on.

Although the powerful magician on the current continent is Puerto, he was a half transcendentalist.

A wizard who received the power of the Demon King and was guided to transcendence.

It is not for nothing that a wizard who is not a black wizard plays the role of an executive in this position.

When I stopped paying attention to him, Puer backed away to see if he was interested in me that much.

And there was an opponent he had to concede to.

The demon lord, who was drinking bright red wine, was looking at me.

“How about a welcome ceremony?”

“Well.”

Even if I asked, I couldn’t give a good answer.

It’s not that I’m interested in luxury and pleasure, and there’s no reason to be happy just because I’m welcomed at the Demon Castle.

Let’s just show it like that, and the demon king smiled and said.

“Then what do you like?”

“Why are you asking that?”

Even though such an answer came naturally, I thought to myself.

Then, what do I like?

Exactly, what do you want to do now?

Killing the demon king in front of me and breaking her heart with my own hands?

He sighs.

Her courtship meant nothing, but it was frustrating to have to keep watching.

Why are you trying to recruit me like that?

“If you don’t answer what you like, I will search indefinitely until I find something you like.”

“I will ask you one question.”

“You can ask anything.”

“Why are you trying to recruit me like this?”

It was similar even before the return.

But at the time, I didn’t have a choice, and I didn’t want to show this level of favor.

What exactly did she mean by doing this?

Is the value of the immortal that great?

With such a question in mind, the Demon King moves slowly.

The crimson wine she held swayed in the glass.

“Then why do you refuse to go this far?”

“I am a warrior’s ally.”

“It’s a rough road.”

The Demon King made a confident assertion.

“And defeat is the only road that awaits.”

“Why are you so sure?”

“Because it will be so.”

Her assertion was not wrong.

Just because that future is the future in which the world perishes.

It didn’t make any sense.

What will the demon king do if he wins?

everyone dies

everything evaporates

I’m the only one left in that place.

“I will promise you with a scale. If you become an officer, you will be able to escort the demon king’s army to eternity, and the moment the demon king’s army wins and conquers mankind, I will grant you one wish.”

All of that is deception.

They make empty promises to a future where nothing is left.

I laughed inwardly.

no i just laughed

Her smile cracked for the first time as I laughed like a madman.

I asked.

“Can you really win?”

“Will win.”

“If you win, what will be left in its place?”

I hand over the real question I present.

if you don’t look to the future

If you don’t look closely at the inside of the demon king, it will be a question you can never ask.

However, the Demon King did not doubt that part yet.

She answered confidently again.

“Our eternal reign and glory.”

“Will it really be like that?”

“I promise by scale.”

Do you think you will fall for the promise of Libra?

I’ll ask again.

Will it really be like that?

“…I asked if that was really going to happen. I don’t want to hear you promise in terms of balance.”

“…”

Just as her face completely hardened, an uninvited guest intervened.

Puerto, who was watching me and the demon king arguing, hurriedly stopped.

“hahahaha, do you need to fight on this fine day? Hey friend, cool down and think carefully.

“Well.”

I turned around according to his opinion.

But this one thing is certain.

Seeing the Demon King’s appearance, it seemed that he had changed his mind about recruiting me by simply approaching with goodwill.

What method will you take out after that, Demon King?

Whatever it is, it will never work.

Even if you try to seal me, even if you try to kill me.

I’m reluctant to trade, but I have something called the Great Devil.

**

“Did you call?”

Following the demon king’s call, the King of Death appeared at this spot.

He still had the features of a good-natured old gentleman.

“How confident are you in your sealing?”

“Have you changed your mind?”

The King of Death smiled and noticed the confusion of the Demon King.

The Demon King shook his head.

“Not yet, but just in case.”

“I’m confident in sealing. Enough to seal the Undead.”

When the King of Death answered, the King of Demons nodded.

Then, the King of Death asked the Demon King.

“What do you see, are you trying to recruit the Undead like that?”

Being able to become an executive even if you don’t have any obligations goes beyond being simply unconventional.

The system of executives was created to deal well with the talents recruited by the demon king.

Even if you rise to the ranks, in exchange for enjoying incomparable rights, you must fulfill your duties.

We must fight for the devil and move for the devil.

As soon as the cadre contract is signed by Libra, the cadre loses their freedom and personal will.

That’s why they treat you that much, but the demon king offered an executive position without even demanding such an obligation.

That is something even the King of Death cannot understand.

The Demon King answered there.

“Predicted with scales.”

She has a tired face.

Predicting the future with scales has many limitations as of now.

I couldn’t guess all the countless cases, and I could only get a clear answer to one question.

And there is only one question that the demon king threw to the balance.

I asked the question of whether it would be possible to win even if the Undead were not in the Demon King’s Army, and the answer was shocking.

“If there are no undead, the demon king’s army will surely be defeated.”

“Huh.”

Even the King of Death breathed in vain.

It was the biggest variable that appeared while everything was going as expected.

No matter what happens, the future where the demon army wins is never wrong.

However, with the appearance of the Undead, the balance that always leaned to one side shifted to the other side.

It could be said that this is the reason why the demon king wants to recruit the Undead to this extent.

“Then, if the recruitment fails, we must seal it.”

“yes.”

The demon king nodded and started walking again.

She thinks this is the end.

Throw all possible throws.

If you still fail.

He will be imprisoned in an eternal seal, unable to escape.

“I-I-Is it okay if I do this?”

The most embarrassing was Vero.

As much as she was accidentally dragged into the castle, she tried to work as a handyman carrying alcohol to the party, but she was dragged away by a maid in the castle and wore a very pretty dress to naturally participate in the party.

“Well, it will be fine.”

“Uhhh…”

I didn’t care what it was.

It didn’t matter if she played the role of a servant doing chores at the welcome ceremony or doing anything she enjoyed participating in this party.

That’s true, but when I looked at Vero, he was definitely pretty.

I knew she was beautiful from the moment I put on the maid outfit, but when I made up my mind and the maids decorated her, a pretty young lady was here.

But it didn’t matter.

If something goes wrong with the demon king, she will return to her normal place, and I will have to leave the demon castle.

I don’t think I’ll pay much attention to the relationship that I have to break up anyway.

…But if there is a problem, it is doubtful whether the demon king will really leave Vero alone.

Even if the demon king is left alone, high-ranking demons who are loyal to the demon king might try to kill Bero on their own.

It’s very embarrassing for that.

If you really think so, taking them is the way to go.

Looking at it, my family will soon become self-made, and we will need more maids.

Among them, Mine Maid wouldn’t be a bad choice either.

Since he was born a demon, his strength would be strong.

When I looked at Vero with that gaze, she wrapped her arms with both hands as if her whole body gave goose bumps.

“Well, something creepy.”

“I guess it’s because it’s cold.”

Probably.
