"I didn't think he could experience something like that, hahaha" said one man, laughing.
"Don't be fooled by his face. Well, though I don't deny that he's handsome. But because of that, he got into trouble. One day, she accidentally went into a public bath. Then he went into the women's bath. He was beaten to the ground by them, hahaha..
I remember clearly how he looked when he got out of there. His face was very red like a tomato and full of purplish marks, hahaha.", said the 24-year-old with black horns and a headband.
"I also have such a handsome friend. I'm jealous because she likes women a lot."
"Handsome men are a bitch. It felt like he wanted to hit it so that his face could not be recognized. They also usually become haughty, they think this world belongs to them?!"
"You're right. That's so annoying."
"ah! I have an idea to teach such a man a lesson."
"Hows it? How's it?"
The head-bound young man started whispering something to the man sitting in front of him. Among them was a table with several bottles of wine.
Not far away in that place, there was another seat that had many chairs with long tables. There were 5 people sitting there.3 of them were demons.
The devil is a creature that has a long life. It can be hundreds, even thousands of years. Their physical appearance will initially stop at the age of 18-20 years. If their physical appearance gets older, it is due to the addition of a lot of age.
However, there are also those who have an older age than other demons, but have a physical younger than the demon who should be younger than him. It could be due to his great strength or something else. So the age of the devil is really hard to guess, unlike humans.
"Sadly, it turned out that his mind was like that of mine," The cold-faced young man with sea-blue eyes watched his friend who was sitting together with the humans. The expression on his face was irritated after hearing the conversation of the two drunken creatures. His name is Kay.
"Somehow the atmosphere turned out to be so harmonious like this," Melvin's inner self could only smile inwardly. One of his subordinates or arguably his groupmate seemed to have fun when talking to a head-bound demon. Even he who was the chairman seemed to be unnoticed ever since the man became drunk.
In the beginning, ever since knowing who the helper had saved them from the undead, everything had become tense. Moreover, Melvin and his colleagues who became very vigilant when looking at the devil.
Somehow that tense state turned out to be as fluid and friendly as it is now. Even the four demons who helped Melvin and his comrades took them to rest in the empty house, where his fourth headquarters had been for the past few days.
"I've heard your purpose here is to kill the devil in silence. Too bad, you came at the wrong time" said a young man with blue earrings hanging from his left ear. His name is Felix.
"Y-yes... Actually was.. I didn't intend to," Melvin paused for a moment and noticed the three demon faces before him, "I gave the other higher-ups the idea of making this attack. But on top of that, my original intention was to bring my nephew and son back.
There is no intention for me to attack the demons in this world. So the idea was just an excuse that I could go here with some people on guard in case something bad happened that I had to get involved with the devil. No, it turned out like this."
The man sitting beside Melvin was shocked. He looked up and looked at Melvin. His gaze looked in disbelief, "W-is that right, chief? W-so you're just using us for your personal purposes?"
Melvin sighed. He nodded slowly with a sorry look, "Sorry.. Because of my selfishness, you're involved in something like this. Because of me, too, we lost our friend's friend. I'm really sorry. I don't know if things are going to be like this."
The man next to Melvin is named Lym. Getting an explanation from Melvin made him immediately stand up in shock, "The two were being selfish like this... And make them lose their lives in vain? Kau–" he shook his head without being able to continue his words. He was very disappointed and angry at Melvin's statement.
He did not expect at all if the person who is one of the leaders of the blizt race who has high charisma when with other blizt commit selfish actions because of his own personal affairs.
"I'm really sorry, but there's nothing I can do. I can't bring back the lives that have been lost" Melvin said. Guilt accumulated in his heart for having implicated others and making them lose their lives. This is the first time Melvin has failed to become a leader.
"Forget it. It's over" said a young man with red eyes and white hair. Name's Ken.
He continued, "Even if your eyes lay down their lives on you, nothing will change. Even you wouldn't have survived without him."
Despite his lack of confidence in Melvin's words, Felix responded, "Even one life survived thanks to his help. Otherwise, your number has already reduced by one now."
Lym was silent when she heard the words of the two demons in front of her. His gaze bowed and this made Melvin feel even more uneasy.
"I was wrong to estimate. I don't expect the situation to be what it is now. I–"
Melvin stunned. He watched Lym well and before long the man looked at him with a complicated expression, "If that's your real goal, then it's okay, chief. But.., we have to do the mission the reason we're here."
Lym's gaze was now fixed on the head-bound demon. His arms immediately clenched with a sharp look. The one on his mind at the moment, finished off the demon. Because the young man was drunk, so he thought killing him would not be too difficult.
In an instant, he had been beside the demon. With a dagger as a weapon, he would kill him.
Melvin is shocked when he sees Lym disappearing. His gaze was immediately fixed on where Lym was right now. His eyes widened even more in surprise when he saw what the man was going to do.
Kay, Felix and Ken themselves did nothing. They were silent even though they knew Lym had disappeared from where he was.
"Dead you!" Lym swung his dagger with a firm grasp of his hand. His movements seemed to be beheading the head-bound young man.
But what happened next made Melvin who watched surprised instead of playing.
"Aakhh..," Lym cried out in pain as his hand arrived already twisted by his target. The dagger made from that energy had even disappeared from his grasp.
Fellow Lym who sat facing the head-bound demon was surprised when he heard the shrill voice. He stared in horror when he heard the sound of fractured bones and increasingly thrilling screams. Unconsciously he held his breath with a racing heart. He did not know what happened before until Lym arrived near the demon.
The laughing face and no vigilance with the friendly personality earlier seemed to disappear and change into a cold expression without mercy. The head-tied young man said without a tone, "If you try to do something stupid again, your situation will be worse than this."
His name is Ray. Although he looked like a kind, friendly young man, many lives were lost in his hands. He is often kind, but that does not mean he likes to tolerate the attitude of someone who does bad things to him.
"Let go of it, his hand can break" Felix said.
Ray sighed and released Lym's arm. This made the human instantly take a few steps back from him.
Ray watched the man with a slightly red face from drunkenness. He said, "Make it a lesson for you."
Ken relaxed expression even though he had seen what his partner did. It seems like he is used to it. His eyes looked at Lym, "It wasn't that I asked for a return. It's just... Don't you have any gratitude after being saved? Or you.. Is it a shameless human being? Even after being rescued, you intend to attack."
Lym is afraid. Although Ken looked at her with a casual expression, there was pressure on him when the demon was done with his words.
"You scared him" Felix said.
Ken glanced at the young man with the blue earrings and puffed his cheeks, "You're boring. I'm just 'a little' pressing it."
Felix shook his head. Though the advice that Ken said before sounds so wise. But now he's back to being his childish self.
Melvin stood up and walked over to Lym. He helped the man to stand up, "I'm sorry for his behavior. We've been disrespectful, but you've helped us."
"I'm also sorry, Ray has hurt your subordinates" Felix said with regret.
"Then, excuse me. I'll treat the wound first, "Melvin's gone with Lym.
Melvin's colleague sitting in front of Ray looked dazed. He doesn't know if he should stay or stay here. Because from the looks of it, this room was already filled with demons without humans other than himself.
"The type of girl I like is a strong, good at cooking and caring woman. I don't care if she's beautiful or not, but I like loving women. But after all this time passed, I didn't find a woman that matched my criteria either, huft.."
Ray's speech disperse the reverie of Melvin's colleague. He looked at Ray again with difficulty. Though before the demon's countenance was very cold and this second the look of his face returned as he knew.
"Well.. Unfortunately, my fate is still my own. Is it possible because I am so often with the three of them that there are no women around me? Haish.. Unfortunately..."
Hearing the continued words made Melvin's colleagues become more relaxed. He also responded to his words and they returned as before, as if Lym had just been the last wind.
