The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero
V2 Chapter 17 Borkio's
“O, oi, oi. Wait a minute.”
Borkio, staring at Dreigo, panicked and blue in his face.
“No matter how I look at you all, you guys just look like regular troops somewhere, you know? If it was Monsters, wouldn't they be more like ...”.
“Groups that do not have unity and do all with violence ..... what is it?”
"Ah no. Sorry about that. Yeah, it's just that you guys are a bit different from the stories I've heard.”
"I don't mind.”
Hearing Dreigo's calm words, Borkio was stunned for a while and sank into silence, and once again started scratching his head.
“...... Well, this is driving me crazy. It's like I saw a nightmare.”
“If you want to escape reality, then I will not stop you. But, I heard you need help?”
“Ahh, yes. Alright whatever. We have wounded people. We've given first aid but we don't have enough medicine. We also have no food or water. We're out of everything.”
After saying that, Borkio looked at the giant ship that was bobbing in the sea behind him.
Bahlan if that ship that had become completely tattered was beyond repair, it would absolutely not be able to withstand the journey from now on. It was undoubtedly impossible to pass through the [Faraway Sea] even if it was repaired.
Borkio was worried whether he could rely on Monsters to do such a favor from the start.
However, ignoring his concerns, Dreigo was ready to answer them.
“If you put the things you need into the list, then we will help you. Regarding the wounded, we will arrange some healers. For sick people .... it will probably depend on the extent of their illness. Depending on the case, it may take quite a long time.”
“O-, oi oi ...... You said it so easily.”
“But you need it, right?”
“Y-, well, that's true but.,,”
In response to Dreigo's face that seemed to say “what's the problem?", Borkio made a face that looked troubled.
“We, part of humanity, you know?”
“So, what's the problem with that?”
“We have defeated your king to death, we are called enemies, right? Is this okay?”
Hearing Borkio's words, Dreigo went “Hmm” and nodded, “It's not like you killed him. Moreover, this is an old story more than a hundred years ago.”
“Y-, yeah, yeah. That may be true but. Humans and Monsters, there's still that, there's nothing there.”
“I really can't understand what you're so troubled about.”
With a face that said he was fed up with Borkio's words, Dreigo pointed his finger at Borkio.
“We will cut you all as you turn into enemies, so don't worry about that.”
“Ap-, is it true.”
"True.”
Dreigo turned his gaze from Borkio, who had fallen into silence, to the giant ship.
"You guys quickly set. Are those who need help and the list of necessary items ready?”
“O, yes. Oi, you guys go and get them.”
“Un, understood, Captain.”
Asked by Borkio, the other two Metallios returned to the ship in small boats.
While staring at them, Dreigo asked the question he was thinking about.
“That thing is called a ship, with what principle can it move?”
“Ahh, yes it is. It uses the power of water and wind. The Sylphids had patented it, and the Cylus Empire was number one in terms of shipbuilding technology. As a result, it means that the best ship finally becomes our ship.”
“So in other words, it moves with magic.”
“Basically. There are also ships that do not use magic, but their performance decreases drastically.”
“The object is called a ship, by what standard can it traverse [Farthest Sea]?”
Right, this is the most important part of everything.
The thing called the ship, Dreigo could not know how many people could ride it, but if he had the ability to transport a large number of people, he could not figure out how many, then it was possible that the Heroes would once again cross the [Faraway Sea] and come here.
“Not ...... Just as you can see. A ship that could safely cross the [Sea of Farthest Ends] did not exist. Even a sophisticated ship from the Cylus Empire ended up in this condition.”
[The Farthest Sea] continues to run wild, and is the sea that rejects all creation.
Even magical powers would be disrupted, and it was said that even impossible phenomena in nature would occur.
Once it was once said to be the place where the world ended, no one would approach it other than a portion of the crazy individuals.
For Borkio and the others to be able to cross that sea and successfully live, it was the luck of a lifetime.
"I understand.”
Confirming that there was no danger to the Black Continent for now, Dreigo felt relieved.
After that, it would be fine if they dealt with the Borkio group and their treatment. After thinking that, he noticed Borkio's gaze staring at him, Dreigo raised his head.
"……What is it?”
“There's one thing I want to ask.”
Dreigo nodded to Borkio, and urged him to continue.
“My head feels like it's going to go crazy due to the constant shock but ...... this place, it's called Zadark Kingdom, right?”
"Yes.”
What's with that, is what Dreigo's face says.
Borkio gulped while wiping away the cold sweat, and before long, it was as if he had prepared himself, and composed his words.
“...... Who, king?”
Right after that, the temperature of the place instantly dropped.
The soldiers put their hands on their weapons, and the atmosphere became tense.
However, Dreigo calmed the soldiers with his hands, and spoke in a calm tone.
“So, it makes sense to think that there will be a king in the kingdom.”
“Y, yes ...... No, if you don't want to say it, then you don't need.”
“The Demon King Varvatos. That is our king.”
“……!”
Interrupting Borkio's words, Dreigo answered him.
“Didn't you hear me? Demon King Varvatos. It was the king of the Kingdom of Zadark.”
“King of the Devil ..... Varvatos ……? No, Gramfia?”
“Gramfia has been killed by mankind, hasn't it?”
Hearing those words, Borkio took a step back.
He was filled with the feeling of wanting to leave here at once even if he had to swim.
This place was the Black Continent, and moreover, despite the fact that the Monster army in front of him was quite frightening, there was even a new Demon King.
Having such an important reality propelling him, Borkio's stress reaches its peak. But, at the same time, the fact that he himself was still living in excellent health had left Borkio barely able to maintain his senses.
The fact that he was told that they would not be killed if they did not turn into enemies also allowed Borkio's mind to stabilize slightly.
“Whatever what will happen to you all from now on, it will definitely be discussed in this country. But still, for your safety for now, the Western Army will guarantee it.”
“Y, yes. We will ..... in your care.”
Other than those words, there was nothing Borkio could say.
