Butcher Demon

Chapter 47: Night air

Chapter 47: Night air

Eventually, we ended up outside, grilling meat and talking. We talked while eating. After lunch, we talked over a cup of tea brewed from pine leaves that grew nearby. We went back to the cave to talk again. We talked a lot. Abigail’s face was beaming with joy.

I just can’t understand her…

“So, you feel like you understand this Miss through her……service?

?Definitely.?

“Oh, well…….”

Abigail was at a loss to my confident response.

In particular, she asks me this and that about Miss. I decided to be mostly open about her since we were going to run away together anyway.

I didn’t have much to hide, and I was hoping that Abigail might have some information about her.

“I’m sorry. but none of her physical features match any of the alien races I know. The one that does is the demon race, but the demon race is one of the most powerful alien races so I don’t think they do that kind of work.”

As I thought.

“And I’ve never heard of a spider coming out of their mouths…….”

The spider disappeared into the city. Abigail was right. Thank you.

By the way, I hadn’t told her what happened after that.

“hmm……”

Abigail’s eyes narrowed a little as she thought about my story.

She seemed a little tired from the look on her face.

?It’s time to go to bed.?

And please release me from the hell of talking.

“Hmmm…… I guess.”

Abigail stretches and yawns a bit. The blonde hair hanging down her nicely curved back suddenly catches my eye.

“What should we do about the night watch?”

?I’ll do it. You can sleep.?

“Yeah…….but doesn’t Gevaudan sleep?”

?”I never sleep. Occasionally, I just need to be Spaced out a while. ?

“Spaced out…….”

Abigail made an admiring face, then curled up in a corner of the cave, wrapped in a thin blanket.

“Good night, Gevaudan. ……”

The cave was lit by a lantern. Once I turned it off, there was only a pale moonlight falling through a crack in the ceiling. Immediately, it felt as if a cold twilight sky was cascading down its rays.

This is why you need simple bedding.

I would like to lay Abigail down properly, and it would probably be cold with just that cloth. I looked at her and saw that she was still shivering a bit.

When it’s dark, I can’t use my writing strategy on the ground!

I had no choice but to move to her side and tapped her on the shoulder. I asked if she was cold.

“It’s a little cold, isn’t it ……?

Of course, it is. She was leaning against a rock on the ground.

I sat down on the spot and put Abigail on top of it.

“It’s warm as usual……thank you.”

as usual?…… Oh, you said my body is hot when we have sex because I’m excited. Well, that’s part of it, but my base body temperature is high. I think it’s because I’m fat.

“Hey, hey–“

Abigail looked up at me nervously.

“You’re poking my back…….”

It’s not surprising, since I’ve been abstinent while traveling……Oh, well…

I slipped off my apron and placed my own member directly on Abigail’s back.

— Yutanpo[1] —

“Yeah…….”

It’s warm. I am so proud of my scorching rod. And it feels good to have your blonde hair brushing against it.

“It’s…..warm, but……”

Abigail seemed to be getting worried. I know how you feel, but this is the warmest thing I can think of. It’s a perverted idea that made me fond of it.

Abigail fidgeted.

“Do you, um, do you want to……?”

I do.

I’d like to say yes, but no. You need to get some rest and start working hard tomorrow.

“Yes, yes…….”

Abigail squirmed and turned over in embarrassment.

Does this mean I’ve shamed a woman……?

She looked uncomfortable like that for a while, but she must have been tired because she soon stopped moving.

I hope you get a good rest. Getting a cold in a time like this is dangerous.

After all, my fate now depended on her.

I should think that this free time between us would never happen again. If we don’t get results here, the future will be very difficult. Because Abigail has a time limit. There is no woman who can remain an offering to the Butcher forever.

This is your first and last chance to help me as well as yourself.

I wonder if you’re aware of that.

Do you realize that the beast you’re about to unleash with good intentions is an unfathomable monster that will soon become the world’s greatest enemy?

I listened to the sleeping sound in my arms and went back to my work of staring into the darkness that had accumulated in the cave.

…

“I wonder why it looks so retro.”

Abigail said, tilting her head as she disassembled the control terminal.

“Don’t you think so, Gevaudan?

?I know. It’s old-fashioned.?

“…… I know, right!”

There was a pause, and then Abigail chimed in.

She was watching my reaction every now and then.

I’m pretty sure Abigail thinks I’m a former human. I even accidentally wrote some words. It’s impossible to escape the fact that I wrote human letters that’s hard evidence that I have lived a human life before.

Well, it’s a little late for that.

The control terminal is in the shape of a very old cell phone. It’s a landline phone that’s been enlarged to the size of a dumbbell. But instead of a speaker, it has a display, and the handle has a bunch of buttons on it. The microphone seems to be there as well.

“Hmmm………I think I understand the structure inside, but…”

So you’ve figured it out……. Seriously, this girl is amazing.

We started disassembling it this morning. And now it’s mid-afternoon. So it’s only been half a day.

Did I mention that she was in Intelligence Intel? As expected of the elite.

“I’d like to examine the parts a little more closely…….In this case, I’d like to use a <Magic stone collator device>.

I see…

?What is that??

“The magic stone collator is……first of all it’s alien technology, but most of their special effect tools use some kind of crystal, a magic stone as their core.

I see.

“The magic stone is a crystallized form of the magic used by the aliens, a tool that can be used by anyone to produce a specific effect. We call them <magic tools>.”

I can’t believe it.

“The magic stone collator is a device developed by the humans to analyze the contents of the magic stone.”

I see.

?Where can I find this thing??

“…… I’m sure Gevaudan would have noticed, but there was a human outpost on the mountainside on the way here, right?”

There was.

It was camouflaged from a distance, but I think it was probably a secret frontline base for the Echo Team. It wasn’t there the last time I was here, so it must have been built recently.

I nodded my head and Abigail said, “Can you bring it back here?”

I nodded my head, and Abigail said again.

“Can you bring me there? I want you to take me with you.”

……Hmm? Is that okay?

I was aware that there was a base and I thought maybe if I attacked it I could get something useful for Abigail’s work, but I knew you would definitely disagree so I didn’t tell you.

?Are you sure? Kill them all??

There’s no other way.

We’ll kill everyone we come up against, young and old, male and female, and eventually, we’ll destroy all the equipment. We don’t want any evidence left behind. And we have to leave before the backup arrives.

“I don’t care.”

Abigail said firmly.

“……That place, Gevaudan. It’s probably a secret front for an engineering unit that’s under the command of an intelligence division called Echo Team.”

I couldn’t agree more.

“I’ve already been beaten to a pulp by AASPINT. I don’t care what happens to them anymore, they’re still under the breath of the Intelligence Division. And no matter what, we’re the priority. Some sacrifices are necessary if we want to survive. We’ll examine your device there.”

That’s cruel.

It’s hard to believe that she’s the one who was so merciful to me the other day.

She’s a bit two-faced, isn’t she? as expected of an elite.

I took Abigail with me and we left immediately. It was a rush job, and every minute was precious.

We should be able to get close to Echo Team’s base of operations before nightfall.
