Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 249

57. The warrior goes out. (2)

“The true king?”

Deus snorted and took a step forward.

“Just because you draw your sword makes you a true king. “What could be easier than that?”

As he approached the rock step by step, the surroundings began to buzz with excitement.

The real powerhouse in this space

was Deus.

Dwarfs, humans, fairies, and dragons all knew that.

No one thought he wouldn’t be able to draw his sword.

Everyone was sad that this festival was already over, but on the other hand, they wanted to know what secrets were hidden in the sword.

Deus stopped in front of the sword.

A gold sword, a purple handle, and even a red jewel.

It felt like a fitting name for the sword that the would-be king would possess.

I grabbed the handle of the sword.

At that moment, Baekho spoke to him.

?Master.?

?What? Suddenly.]

?I would like to apologize in advance for rudely interrupting the owner’s actions.? ?

?Apologetic enough, what is your business??

?It is said that the name of this sword was taken from the ancient myth of Balmung. It is said that it

was a sword used by a warrior 70 centuries ago, and that it was able to survive until now because a warrior who loved swords so much died and gave him a blessing .]

[…Do you think weapons can communicate with each other?]

[Balmung’s ego It is a strong virtue. He said that it was a sword made for a warrior, so if a demon got its hands on it, it would rust and kill him.] [It seems he

knows who I am.]

[It seems like he felt it instinctively.]

[It is a famous sword . You can’t ruin it.]

[I’m sorry. It’s rude of this white tiger to lose his master’s face.]

[Well, it’s not like I could have known in advance.]

[I am grateful for my master’s generosity.]

Deus took his hand off the sword.

Everyone looked surprised when he suddenly gave up.

I never thought Deus would give up!

He turned and looked at Zeke.

“They say it’s a sword for warriors. Do you want to get it?”

“I already have Asmodeus… so I think it would be okay to leave it like this until someone suitable comes along

.”

At that moment, the corners of Deus’ mouth rose.

He seemed to have thought of something interesting.

He waved his hand.

“The game is over! “Go to work, you slaves!”

Deus threw a fireball among the hesitant dwarves.

They screamed that they were on fire and scattered in all directions.

There was even a dwarf who shouted out loud that that crazy guy was having a seizure again.

But Deus paid no heed to Zeke and Signy.

“You guys said your younger sister got married, but you couldn’t send her a gift, right?”

“That’s right… it’s just a distraction.”

Signy slightly lowered her head in response to Zeke’s answer.

It was heartbreaking. The three siblings who were always together have now become a crime for even being together.

Deus said while looking at the rock where the sword was stuck.

“That one. “Don’t you think it would be worth seeing if we just threw it at

the intersection of Verde Castle ?”

Yulgeum spoke on behalf of Zeke and Signy, who had not yet grasped the context of the story.

“Do you think you can just pull out Regin?”

“Generation Zero is still too young. At most, he’s around 10 years old, right? There’s no way I have the skills to pull that off. “It’s not a miracle that even single-digit purebloods can perform.”

Yulgeum nodded.

“It seems like a good idea. Moreover,

in the current politically charged situation, if the new sword appears on its own and falls into the hands of the government, friendly public opinion could gain strength.”

Only then did Zeke and Signy understand Deus’s thoughts.

“Then go and come back.”

Zeke nodded with a bright face.

“Yes Deus!”

Then, with a grunt, he lifted up a rock the size of an ox.

“Are you going to take it with you?”

“yes? Then…

Deus sighed and handed the small white bead to Zeke.

“I’ll give you one hour, so take this and throw it on the main street of the castle.”

“ah! “That will work.”

“When I finish work, I ride this and come back here.”

Deus even handed over the entrance to the warp gate connected to Rosdia to Zeke.

Zeke laughed and soared into the sky.

Dozens of pills appeared at his feet. A flame that seemed to split the sky in two

spewed out from beneath their feet and instantly disappeared beyond the horizon.

It was a flight at 12 kilometers per second. Although it was almost on the opposite side of the planet, Zeke was able to see Verde Castle for a long time.

Wearing his hat tightly closed, Zeke stepped down into the dark alley of the castle early in the morning.

There was still time until the time Deus spoke of.

I didn’t have anything to do, so

I sat on the stairs in the back alley and looked blankly ahead.

The smell of food was strong.

I think it happened to be at the back of the restaurant.

“It looks like they’re boiling beef bones.”

It wasn’t Bouillon. The smell of enjoyment is much stronger than that. It seemed like a restaurant targeting the common people.

At that time, the back door of the restaurant opened.

Light leaked out, and a boy who looked to be about thirteen or four years old came down carrying a large pot.

A loud sound came through the open door.

“What kind of hero is a hero who can’t even use his strength like that and freezes to death! “Get over it and take over the store!”

“I’ll do it! I will definitely do it! “I will become an A-rank hero and wash away my grandfather’s dishonor!”

“Does the hero feed me? Do you think anyone can do that? Besides, it’s almost the end of the century. “As soon as you enter the battlefield, you will become food for the demons!”

“What does Mom know? “The teacher said you have talent!”

“It’s obvious that this is a lie to get you to take extra classes, isn’t it?”

The boy put down the soup pot with a loud bang.

“Aren’t you doing it gently? If it breaks, are you going to fix it?”

“Stop nagging!”

“You just have to do your best not to nag!”

The boy huffed and closed the back door loudly.

Then, I was very surprised to find Zeke squatting on the stairs of the building across from me.

“who are you?”

“sorry. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”

Zeke’s face was revealed in the dusky light of the sky.

After absorbing Blue Dragon and Suzaku, the shape of the armor no longer mattered.

What he was wearing now was copper dragon scale armor, but on the outside it looked like ordinary leather armor.

However, the demon sword Asmodeus’ ego was too strong to change his appearance.

An adventurer with a bizarre and colorful long sword.

If I were to roughly describe it, it looked something like this.

“I am Zeke Van Jade. “He is a warrior.”

“ah! “My name is Trudeau Pancherye.”

“It’s the cherry tree family.”

“There are some kids who make fun of me for being a cherry boy.”

“Haha Cherry Boy (cherry boy sympathy), what are you talking about? “I was a bitch.”

“Oh, that’s a bit too much.”

“What is that?”

Zeke asked, looking at the pot.

“It’s our house’s bathhouse. “I boil things like beef head and beef bones

and serve them with white rice

.”

“Oh, that sounds delicious. “Can I have a taste?”

“yes? “Yes, that’s right.”

Zeke opened the seasoning bag on his waist and took out a spoon.

I wiped it clean with a handkerchief and tasted the soup.

“Oh it’s sticky! “This is delicious.”

“Really? “I’m not sure.”

“Mom, you’re good at cooking.”

“Anyway, thank you for the compliment.”

Trudeau bowed his head. It was completely different from the way he fought with his mother

. It seemed like he had received some good home education.

Zeke said, grabbing his spoon.

“If it was a royal family of warriors, it would have made a name for itself. “Opening a soup restaurant is a bit surprising.”

“…During my grandfather’s time, the grade was so low that the family grade was demoted to C. My father wasn’t very talented either. Right now, my older brother was the one I was in charge of, but he also got a C grade… My mother is telling me to just run a soup restaurant.”

“That’s not bad either.”

“It’s bad!”

Zeke opened the bag on his waist and showed the spice containers.

“Isn’t cooking fun?”

“I prefer using a sword.”

“That’s fun too.”

“I guess cooking is your hobby, right?”

“Hmm… If you were to talk about your occupation, I think it would be more appropriate to be a chef rather than a warrior. “If you think about it, I only did a few things as a hero.”

Zeke counted the past days with his fingers.

I hunted dragons and caught demon lords, but

other than that, I didn’t do much else.

Oh, I see you stopped the moon from falling not long ago.

“If you count the number of days worked, cooking is the overwhelming majority. The person I’m working with now opened a store. “Even though it’s just a street vendor.”

“Speaking of ranks, this brother’s family has been in the provincial level for about 10 generations.”

“Your family was Tao? That’s…

“Isn’t it amazing?”

“Excuse me, brother, but what grade are you?”

“Ah, first of all, certified level B?”

“It’s ambiguous. Of course, I’m not ignoring him because he has a higher grade than my brother.”

“It’s ambiguous. So my younger brother inherited the enemy.”

“Haha, if it’s the Hollybitch family… Now wait, it’s a similar name, right?”

” what?”

“no. “It must be an illusion.”

There was no way the people of Verde did not know Holly Bitch’s name.

It was the name of a warrior announced as the king’s husband, and

was also Leo Paladin, a symbol of the bravest of the famous Zodiac Knights.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out why that person, that guy, would be squatting on the stairs in the back alley of the restaurant.

It is much more reasonable to assume that Bichwi or Bichwi Jade is the name of an unknown warrior family.

It’s not like I have memorized all the names of the thousand warrior families.

Trudeau said.

“Still, I didn’t give up. “If you only get paid, you barely get any pension

.”

“that’s right. So, I made a living by working part-time from a young age. There’s nothing I haven’t tried. “Then I realized that I had a talent for cooking, and that’s how I got to where I am today.”

“It seems amazing… but it’s also a little boring.”

“That’s right.”

“But it’s still B grade. “I don’t think you’ve ever officially worked in a hero management office.”

“I tried it.”

“Envy you. “I am graduating from middle school this year, and

I have yet to go outside the castle even once.”

“That’s a bit too much.”

“Yes?”

At that time, the back door burst open and a stern old woman appeared.

He shouted, swinging the ladle.

“Trudeau! What were you doing?

Then, when you saw Zeke with you, you were embarrassed and lowered the ladle.

“who are you?”

Zeke smiled and greeted me.

“My name is Zeke.”

At that moment, Trudeau suddenly made a bold statement.

“He’s a B-class hero. He said he needed a companion, so I decided to come with him for a day. Are you fine?”

“What do you mean!”

“Brother, let’s go. “They say they really need my skills, so I have to help them.”

“Trudeau!”

Zeke bowed his head to Trudeau’s mother and followed after the boy.

As soon as he left the alley, Trudeau apologized to Zeke.

“I’m sorry, bro. Because I lied… “It’s enough that I helped you this far.”

“Are you going to run away from home?”

“Let’s at least go to the hero management office. “I don’t know if there’s really something I can do.”

“You don’t even have a grade yet.”

“Let’s name our brother.”

“That’s a crime.”

“It’s okay. My brother’s friends are also working at the management office.”

“Shall I go with you?”
