Chapter 203: Let Me Take a Peek. Just One Peek.
The big shotâs mad.
The results of that seems pretty serious too.
Just as Shien was worried over this matter, Airi looked toward him and spoke.
âSo then, you really arenât planning to subjugate those Old Demon Faction?â
Airi seemed to want to confirm this matter.
Shien didnât even think about it before answering.
âNope.â
Shienâs answer was very decisive.
âWhy? Didnât you say that you really hated those Old Demon Faction though?â
Airi started questioning Shien.
âI do indeed hate those guys. Theyâre the villians after all, who doesnât hate them?â Shien continued to speak in a decisive manner, âFirstly, I have other important things to do here in the Capital, so I donât have the time for that at all. Secondly, why should I have to go out of my way to subjugate a bunch of guys Iâve never even met before, even if I hate them? Thirdly, I donât want to get scammed.â
Thatâs how it is.
For the upcoming month, Shien will definitely be shutting himself up in the magic books library underneath the palace. That part doesnât even need mentioning anymore.
Even without that bit, thereâs no way that Shien would go running to someone elseâs territory to subjugate some villains there. Why should he when he could be studying magic or taking baths with Diere, after all?
Hmm⊠Although he can only look and not touch, so itâs indeed kind of lacking, but itâs not like Shien is so bored that heâd really go out of his way to fight against dangers to the Kingdom and the world, right?
This isnât even mentioning the fact that the Stalim territory is that Duke Baliâs home turf.
That guy obviously dislikes him, although itâs unknown if heâs antagonistic to Shien because of his relationship with Lucy or if itâs for some other reason.
Shien might not know exactly what Baliâs plans for him are, but since Bali is obviously antagonistic against him, itâd be just plain retarded to go run off to Baliâs territory, gift wrapped.
That kind of guy is obviously a hardass. Then thereâs the whole coldblooded and heartless settings as well. If it was in his previous world, then those setting would pretty much designate a minor villain for the protagonist to humiliate and kill. Even if Shien himself doesnât exactly fear him, thereâs no point to running off to play their game though, right?
And subjugation as well? Shien would be more than happy if those hateful bunch of the Old Demon Faction were to put in some more effort and just completely ruin that old hardassâs territory. Heâd be quite happy if that actually happened.
And for him to go over and help out of his own initiative?
Not a chance.
In regards to that, Shien only has one thing to say: Go play on your own.
However, Airi obviously has something different in mind.
âWhat if I want them subjugated though?â
Airi stared at Shien and said those unexpected words.
âYou?â Shien was stunned for a moment before he asked attentively, âWhat? Do you have a grudge against them or something?â
âWhat do you think?â Airi spoke completely stone-faced, âThose cancers of the Demon word is not only acting as they like using that personageâs name, but theyâre also trying to destroy the balance and peace between the divine, mortal and demon world. Theyâre not only a plague to our whole race, but theyâve also constantly caused countless disasters within the past thousand years. Itâs ended up making the mortals cautious of and fearful of even the innocents of our demon race. Theyâre the absolute worst.â
âIf not for them, the demon race would definitely have integrated much better into the world as a whole, and we might have walked toward true peace alongside the gods and mortals. My big sisters wouldnât have needed to work so hard either, constantly getting pestered by the gods and mortals over the actions of those cancers, being forced to expend who knows how much efforts just to repair relations.â
âAdd in the fact that the important personages of the Old Demon Faction tend to be those who used to be from under us six great demon lords at that, so that makes them tantamount to traitors. Do you think then that I wouldnât desire their subjugation then?â
Just as Airi said, the ones who hate the Old Demon Faction the most arenât the gods or mortals, but the demon race themselves.
If not for those cancers, people wouldnât be still so guarded against the demon race as a whole. Nor would the three races still merely maintaining a balance, but have instead stepped forward to true peace.
Itâs all because of those guys rampaging as they liked that the gods and mortals still consider the demons as dangerous and untrustworthy.
Thus, Airi wanting to cut those cancers out is only understandable.
Perhaps, Airiâs appearance in the mortal world, her arrival in the Capital, and then her detecting his own existence may very well be due to the incidents with Leisha, Baydr, Jillian, and their groups.
That said though⊠Didnât this girl just leak out a terrifying secret just now?
While Shien was still seriously considering the matter, Airi once again spoke up.
âSince I know where those cancers have appeared again, thereâs no way that I can let them off.â
Airi looked at Shien.
â⊠Youâre not asking me to go, are you?â
Shienâs eye twitched.
âCorrect.â Airi spoke calmly, âYou destroyed Baydrâs branch of the Old Demon Faction, so if you appeared near their field of view, then thereâs a high chance that theyâd show themselves. And at that pointâŠâ
Shien interrupted her before she could finish that sentence.
âBut I already said it. I donât want to go, I have things to do still, and I donât want to get scammed.â
Shien was nearly on the verge of raising his hands in the air for emphasis.
âYouâre really not going?â Airi frowned, âYouâre not going even if I went with you?â
âYouâre going with me?â Shien stopped and started thinking it over deeply.
If Airi really were to follow him along, then thatâs not impossible anymore.
That girlâs battle power is definitely broken. Itâs unknown if she could shatter planets with a punch like a certain monkey named Son, but even if not, sheâs still definitely at a level that no one else could come close to matching.
If that girlâs with him, then no plots or schemes could possibly work against him, right?
After all, this girlâs not just unbelievably powerful in a fight, her status is also high enough that itâs scary. If a mere duke of the Kingdom tried to provoke him even so, then heâd probably end up annihilated in an instant.
If he were to bring this girl with him, then in the end, not only would there be no problem anymore, heâd even be able to turn the whole thing around against that old hardass, right?
In addition to hat, he wouldnât even need to follow that old hardassâs plans at all. He could very well just take the girl with him and sneak in to do all that without anyone realizing.
As he thought that, Shien really was a bit tempted.
When he considers that old hardass that was plotting against him, Shien really did want to do some hitting back.
However, thatâs all first on the premise of not getting in the way of his main priorities.
ThereforeâŠ
âAlright, Iâll go with you.â Shien told Airi, âHowever, I have two conditions.â
Airi was rather dissatisfied with that though.
âYouâre the only one who could talk conditions with me.â Airi let out a sigh, âSay it then, what are your conditions then?â
âFirst of all, we wonât be going until a month later, not right now.â
Shien had first made sure to establish this point.
Thatâs his main priority here. It canât be put off.
âBut what if theyâve gotten away by then?â
Airi frowned.
âIf that happens, then Iâ;ll figure out something else.â Shien promised, âIs that alright?â
âFine.â Airi considered it for a bit before nodding, âAnd the second condition?â
âAs for the secondâŠâ Shien gave a glance at the pillow Airiâs holding and smiled like a thief that had finally spotted an opening, âYou have to move your pillow out of the way and let me take a peek. Just one peek.â
âEh?â Airi was startled.
Immediately after, Airi finally realized.
That guy. So thatâs what he was waiting for huh?
