“That… Irene?”
After quite some time.
Luna, whose body had stabilized, spoke to me.
Only then did the frozen air start to flow again.
I thought I was suffocating.
“Ah. That’s not my name. It’s the executive’s name. I’m not the executive, right?”
Luna stared at me for a long time.
No matter how I looked at it, I could see her bewildered expression, as if to say, ‘So that executive is you, right?’
Of course.
How could you not know this when I even sent you a selfie?
You even came out wearing the same outfit.
This is all I have.
I preempted Luna’s question.
” In the end, you lost the bet, right?”
” Right?”
” But anyway, Luna saved me once. That’s why I’m only going to tell you my identity.”
” Yes..?”
Luna raised the transmitter, expressing her doubts about my words.
I unconsciously pressed the transmitter with my hand.
Thanks to that, all I can see is the same floor as before.
No, what is it
Please show us too, please
Officer, it’s really hard to just see your face once…
So Luna, is this person an officer? Urgent
Kuaaaah, this is clearly a villain!
Luna snickered while watching the chat that was starting to go crazy.
You also have fun harassing viewers.
You’re talented.
Anyway, Luna continued.
“Thank you. I almost lost my life. I was already really broke….”
“Don’t be thankful.”
Luna made a puzzled expression as if she was too curious about my answer.
“What if a hero is grateful to a villain? Think of it as him using me instead.”
“T-T… using me! Never…!”
Luna waved her hand, but I slowly waved my hand in response.
The viewers who were just watching this tiki-taka as a shadow were about to burst into rage.
This soon began to gather into one wish.
[Irene123 made a 100,000G mission!]
[Please show our Irene’s pretty face just once]
It became a 100,000 gold mission.
At first, Luna also strongly refused it.
“No. So… This executive friend’s request is what I’m saying.”
Why are there only people who try to deceive me!!!
(Angry Luna emoticon)(Angry Luna emoticon)
I know everything, so why aren’t you showing me!! (Angry Luna emoticon)
No, I revealed my face a long time ago, so why now!
After all, it was my request.
That’s why Luna had absolutely no intention of uploading the broadcast.
Maybe they wanted to break the iron fortress-like heart somehow.
The viewers started adding mission money one by one.
[LunaMom added 5000G of mission reward money!]
[fnskxlr added 15000G of mission reward money!]
[Ele added 3000G of mission reward money!]
[Ragare added 20000G of mission reward money!]
“Everyone. Even if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. Your friend is in trouble.”
[dbswodla added 13000G of mission reward money!]
[LunaBom added 50000G of mission reward money all day long!]
“We really can’t do this anymore! I told you, it’s a mission that can’t be accomplished anyways!”
Luna really defended desperately.
Even though her money had gone up to 900,000 gold, she absolutely did not give up.
Well, isn’t Luna the one who can finish off a single comrade?
It’s a bit strange that Luna, a warrior, thinks of me as a comrade.
Anyway, I was grateful that she was able to block me like this.
Then, all of a sudden, a bang burst out.
[Show Irene’s ‘friend’ face once]
[Reward: 2,000,000G]
She ended up reaching the insane figure of 2 million gold.
Luna’s pupils widened.
It’s true that the mission money went up.
2 million gold just for showing her face once?
No matter what anyone says, this is something that can’t be easily tolerated.
But Luna had another real problem.
I secretly opened the terminal and checked the name of the last person to add the mission amount.
[Elian, mission reward 1,100,000G Added!]
[I’ll do a little bit of evil too?]
Elian.
Luna’s senior and someone she always looks up to.
That Elian came to Luna’s broadcast.
And he bet an astronomical mission amount of 1.1 million gold!
?????????????
No, Elian is crazy
You’re betting more mission amount than the chairman gave you last time?
(Spoken) Elian is the best streamer
I admit it today, GOAT…
It wasn’t just the viewers who were surprised.
“Huh? Is this really Elian? Really?!”
Luna’s eyes began to sparkle.
This might be a bit dangerous.
Luna is a good person.
But wouldn’t it be a different story if it were 2 million gold?
And if the person who gave me that mission was my most admired senior, then it would be even more so.
Then what is my decision?
There’s only one.
“I’ll go now.”
“Okay, wait a minute! Friend!”
You always call me friend.
Still, I had no intention of not going.
It’s right to end it here.
Besides, I already took all the soulstones that Luna doesn’t need anyway.
It’s bad if I show my face for no reason and [Nameless] Demon King’s Castle becomes famous again.
It’s important to just remain as a ‘mysterious friend’ and draw attention to that.
They may seem similar, but there’s a huge difference.
The former draws attention to the Demon King’s Castle where I am.
The latter only goes to the fictional character called ‘mysterious friend.’
“Oh, by the way, the culprit on the right arm is not me, but my friend Irene. That’s all for now.”
Why are you already here!!!
We haven’t even been chatting for 10 minutes and Irene is trying to leave
Oh please don’t, please
No, show your face!!!
Does 2 million gold show up in Jaws?
It’s not like she’s going to her wallet anyways
That’s true…
She must have opened a teleportation portal too.
Now all I had to do was turn my head and walk away.
But at that moment.
My body fell forward.
It wasn’t because I tripped on a rock or something.
Fatigue.
It was clear that the accumulated fatigue of the human body had reached its limit and burst out.
…Otherwise, I wouldn’t be this dizzy right now.
“Are you okay?! I’ll use recovery magic right now…….”
Luna quickly ran towards me.
Surely, Luna, who was good at recovery, would be able to heal my body that was exhausted in no time.
Still, I didn’t want to receive it.
“Don’t come near me.”
“You need treatment!”
Luna shouted in frustration.
Judging by her reaction, I would think she was terminally ill.
She just collapsed because she was sleepy.
Of course, she didn’t refuse treatment for that simple reason alone.
“No.”
Luna is a hero.
I am a villain.
Even if I try to brush it off lightly, I am ultimately an evil person who does not stand on the side of humans.
That’s why I keep my distance from the hero.
No matter how friendly they are with me, they are fundamentally on the opposite side.
This is the belief I have had ever since I was summoned.
Of course, it won’t be broken in the future.
I am a villain who protects Luminil!
“I am a villain. What if the hero cures a villain? Right now, I should be loading my staff with fireballs instead of recovery.”
“…?”
I sneakily check the terminal in my arms.
Their reactions weren’t much different from Luna’s.
This is the first time I’ve been this worried.
Irene collapsed after only going around a few Demon King’s Castles?
Why did she collapse?
You know she’s a villain, so shouldn’t she be treated?
If she was a villain, wouldn’t the cathedral not even treat her?
Luna’s treatment is precious.
Regardless of their reactions.
I didn’t understand Luna and the viewers.
I’m a villain, so why are you worrying so much?
This won’t do.
I have to show them again why I’m a villain.
“I don’t have to worry. There are other people who should be worried,”
“Who?”
“That’s right, Luna who can’t even complete her mission, and Elian and the viewers who won’t be able to sleep because they don’t know who I am.”
Oh no
Really no, really no, really no, really no, really no, really no, really no, really no, really no
Tell me who you are, tell…
Until the last moment, what I could see in my hazy vision was none other than the thirteen soulstones I had brought.
“Ugh… how long have I been sleeping?”
I woke up, pulling my face out of the bed.
The moonlight was streaming in through the cracks in the window in the dark night.
At least it seemed like it was night for now.
I barely got up and did a big stretch.
How long has it been since I fell into such a refreshing sleep?
I didn’t fall asleep because I was careless.
There’s a reason for that.
The assassins are all dead.
There are no more assassins who can be called remnants there.
How do you know?
Of course I do.
If there were, they would have come to me a long time ago in the Demon King’s castle, demanding revenge or something.
I got up and naturally picked up the terminal next to me.
As soon as I turned on the device screen, alarms poured in.
[Luna: Are you sure it’s okay??]
[Luna: Please contact me at least once. I’m worried.]
[Ellian: Did you run away now?]
[Ellian: Where did you go!!]
My head started to hurt again.
What are all these guys?
Where did Ellian hear that I use this account?
As I kept deleting the alarms, my name suddenly caught my eye.
What kind of alarm is this? [You’ve been invited as an Irene fan community manager!]…??
I’m embarrassed.
That’s really embarrassing.
Wow, my fan community is set up on the Warrior Guild terminal right now?
And they’re trying to give me the manager?
How on earth did they get permission from the Warrior Guild?
I entered the community with doubts.
As expected, the inside of the community was even more amazing.
[Analysis of why Irene collapsed]
[Irene, please join the Warrior Guild!!!!]
[Because she’s a villain <- This is just a broadcaster concept now]
[Summary of today’s Irene broadcast]
[She’s never broadcasted, but she’s a fan community]
This is really driving me crazy.
If someone saw me, they would think I was a broadcaster.
And their madness hasn’t cooled down yet.
Before I knew it, a ‘Petition to join Irene’s Warrior Guild’ was posted at the top of the Irene fan community.
About 300 people agreed.
They all said to me in unison.
‘If you see this, join the Warrior Guild.’
Of course, I have no intention of joining even after seeing this.
Why would I join the Warrior Guild when I have this great Demon King Castle?
Even though I’m human.
I’m clearly a Demon King Army officer.
The fact that I have this title means I’m out of the Warrior Guild.
After storing all the soul stones on the desk in subspace.
I got up from my seat and left the room.
Unfortunately, the subjugation wasn’t the only thing I had to do today.
I had to train Luminil.
That was my goal from the beginning.
The Demon King Castle was quiet.
At this time, Luminil was always praying on top of the magic circle.
And it was even worse because there wasn’t a single demon in this Demon World.
Today, I should just do one soul stone.
Standing in front of Luminil’s room, I knocked on the door with that thought in mind.
“Luminil. Are you inside?”
5 minutes.
It didn’t even take 5 minutes for Luminil to shed tears.
It wasn’t because she was sick.
Because the strengthening hadn’t even started yet.
Then why were you crying?
“Ugh. Are you really going to put that in? I absolutely can’t do it.”
“But, didn’t Luminil already give me permission last time?”
“T-That never happened!”
“Yes. This is all for Luminil.”
Luminil, who was tied up with rope, struggled to somehow free herself from the restraints.
That didn’t mean the rope would loosen.
If this was possible, I wouldn’t have tried to strengthen it this way.
Irene slowly walked toward Luminil.
In her hand was a large soul stone.
Luminil closed her eyes as soon as she saw it.
“It’s okay. It won’t hurt to put one in.”
Irene put her hand on Luminil’s head.
A calm and composed expression and neat breathing.
That was the moment when she tried to calm Luminil down.
A smile suddenly appeared on her face.
When Luminil started to tremble in fear.
Irene, whose evil sensor was turning on even more, said.
“No, cancel. It’ll hurt a lot. But you know it’s for Luminil, right? Then cheer up.”
Irene continued.
“Because Luminil will be on TV soon.”
