I’m Not That Kind of Talent Chapter 249

249. Because emotions have always killed someone (4),

Lirinel let out an exclamation as if she had completely forgotten about it and took out the communication stone.

Was the communication seat connected? The voice and the unique way of speaking are very familiar. Deon, who was watching with a subtle look, crossed his arms and touched the corner of his mouth.

Before I could even think about who it was, my mouth was already spitting out an answer.

“…Silua?”

– Yes, it’s Silua!

A happy answer came back immediately.

…why? Deon’s face darkened as he looked at the communication table.

“I understand you are currently at the border…”

Wasn’t she, the leader of the 7th Corps, currently fighting with ‘heroes’ at the border? After listening to the shouting a while ago, it seemed like there was a purpose for me, but I wondered why they bothered to contact me in this way when I could have contacted them directly if there was a problem.

– Oh, it’s because there’s nothing special going on. You can’t be bothered by contacting Deon when there’s nothing going on.

A quick denial followed, as if reading the meaning contained in the voice, which was as shaky as the expression. The voice sounded like he was waving his hand.

– It’s been so long since I’ve seen you in person, so I wanted to see you in secret and have a conversation.

“…okay?”

– yes! Since you’re going on a mission at the moment, I wanted to cheer you on! Of course, if Deon himself comes forward, it is natural that he will win, so there is no need for cheering…!

Then we had a conversation and I just cheered with those words, so it’s okay.

From saying that he originally wanted to go with him and that he really wanted to see Deon’s swordsmanship, and that the 10th Corps commander was a blessed bastard, to cursing at the 9th Corps commander who left the border in charge of me and returned to the Demon King’s Castle alone. He continued to say something more incoherent, but since it didn’t contain anything particularly important, I heard it with one ear and let it go with the other.

“Then…”

Deon, who was about to roughly conclude the conversation like this, stopped and looked down at the communication table.

“….”

– …?

Something feels uncomfortable.

There is something wrong with just ignoring it. Deon, who was looking back on the conversation from earlier while tapping his chin out of discomfort for an unknown reason, suddenly stopped his hand at a certain point and opened his mouth.

“…by the way.”

– yes?

“What does ‘to see your face secretly’ mean?”

– ah.

Beyond the communication table, Silua closed her mouth and Lirinel’s hands trembled.

There’s definitely something there. I like that the reaction is honest.

In addition to the comment about looking at the face, when he pinched it, the communication seat slowly fell back… Deon grinned as he seemed to know what it was after looking at it.

“They look at my face like that, thinking it’s such a big deal.”

It’s not like I leaked my face to people who aren’t part of the Demon King Castle.

Ah, it doesn’t matter if it leaks now. Because everyone knows my face.

I took a step closer and bowed my head slightly. Deon brought his face close to the communication table as if observing closely and said with his bright red eyes shining with mischief.

“Are you unilaterally transmitting the other person’s face? And that too using this communication stone as a medium.”

The ability is also good. I never thought they would use the lifting of the ban on magic here.

Instead of a nervous answer, only silence came back.

Well, I understand. The Demon King’s Army has been sensitive to leaks about the appearance of Commander 0 Corps for a long time. Deon didn’t care and just shrugged his shoulders.

The opponent was Silua, the commander of the 7th Corps, but as long as she was on the borderline, this could be seen as leaking the appearance of the 0th Corps commander to the outside world, so it was only natural that she reacted that way.

‘Even though it doesn’t matter now.’

He turned his eyes toward the communication table and smiled. I felt the small hand holding the communication table tremble, but I got used to it because it was not the first time Ririnel reacted like this.

“Next time, don’t do it secretly, but make a confident two-way connection. No one will say anything if you do that.”

– ah…! Yes, I understand!

A shy smile followed, as if the tension had eased a little.

– It’s been too long since I’ve seen Deon’s face. I wanted to leave it to the commander of the 9th Corps, who was also in charge of the border, and go see him in person… but

the commander of the 9th Corps has now returned to the Demon King Castle on his own. As I thought about it again, I heard a grinding sound, as if my anger had risen again.

Unlike the fierce beginning, it is hardening into a standoff, but it is still the front line bordering the human world. No matter how relaxed he was, in a situation where he was still at war with the human world, it was impossible for two corps commanders to be absent at the same time, so he would have left his share of the area to the same corps commander for a while before leaving. However, the opponent hit the player.

It’s understandable to be upset because they suddenly took over everything. Deon turned his head in silence to find the culprit and blinked for a moment.

‘…Nothing?’

I looked around just in case, but it wasn’t there.

Since he is not a corps commander who is always stationed at the Demon King’s Castle and does not have a timid personality, I thought he must have come to make a mark on a face he doesn’t see often. Did you find anything else interesting?

‘Well… I’m glad if there isn’t one. There’s also OL here.’

Maybe he didn’t come because of OL. Because we can’t make a fuss until the day Deon Hardt goes out to battle.

There is no need to worry about things that are not very important. I erased the matter about 9th Corps Commander Trover from my mind and focused my attention on Lirinel, who was still holding the communication table.

It was clearly visible that the pupils were looking away as if something was stabbing them.

“Rather, Lyrinel.”

“…Yes, yes! Deon.”

“There’s no way you’d make fun of something like this for no reason…” “

…”

“I don’t think you did this for no reason…”

I can see your eyes trembling.

Deon grinned and tapped the communication table with his index finger.

“Is there a function to record video here?”

“omg…!”

In the end, the communication seat that was missed fell to the floor.

also. Deon, who caught it with a sleight of hand, looked at what was in his hand with new eyes. Aside from the fact that the communication was turned off, if multiple magics were used at the same time, it would be normal to have one or two cracks, but no matter how you look at it, it looks fine.

‘This is just a waste of talent.’

It’s amazing that it wasn’t broken, but there aren’t even any cracks? Are you just using it to save my face?

Feeling a bit dumbfounded, I looked back and forth between Lirinel and the communication seat. As if he knew that he was embarrassed, his eyes lit up and he quietly averted his eyes, unlike usual when he was staring at me so persistently.

“Well… if you go on a mission this time, you won’t be able to see me for a while… so…”

something that sounded like an excuse came out muttered.

Even though I couldn’t finish my sentence and had to be silenced by someone else who suddenly popped his head in from the side.

“It’s a communication seat with a video storage function!”

Oel let out an admiring voice.

Lirinel’s eyes cooled. However, like a tactless demon, Oel simply looked at the communication table with eyes full of curiosity and interest and called his lieutenant out of habit.

“Have you ever seen anything like this?”

“Nothing. Rather, Oel-nim Deon is in the middle of a conversation with the 11th Corps Commander. It would be difficult if you interfered.”

“But it’s fascinating.”

Hmm, Ririnel’s expression is getting more and more wrinkled.

OL, if you keep going like this, you’ll only have more enemies. It is said that quite a few people can be defeated by the position of corps commander, but if the opponent is the same corps commander, the story is different. He’s a kid who doesn’t really have any malice… but really…

“I want it.”

“There are a lot of miscellaneous items brought in like this and just piled up in the warehouse.”

“And again! You mean miscellaneous things that might come in handy someday?”

“….”

Dernivan slightly averted his gaze. An attitude that makes it seem like no one agrees.

He also had a lot of trouble because he met the wrong boss. … Or did I meet the wrong lover…?

‘More than that… Lirinel’s gaze is unusual.’

It seems like it’s going up and up and about to explode. How should I fix this?

The priority is to kick OEL out first. Just as Deon was about to open his mouth, a familiar voice was heard from behind him.

“Oel, the Demon King is calling.”

…Ed!

It’s a voice that’s so familiar you can’t recognize it. Deon looked back with a happy heart and paused for a moment at the sight that caught his eye.

“…Ed…?”

I think he said he went there to make sure he didn’t miss anything.

‘What on earth have you been doing…?’

Can a person become like that just by checking the inventory? The guy who is about to go on a mission looks like he’s about to collapse from exhaustion at any moment.

There was Ed with a relieved expression and Dan with a haggard face.

‘I think I need an explanation…’

The gaze filled with absurdity turned to the person who seemed to be the cause. Ed quietly averts his gaze as if something is pricking him as well. I looked next to him again and saw Dan taking steps and coming towards me.

The speed was quite rapid, as if he was trying to escape from Ed’s clutches.

Anyway, OL, who was not interested in anything other than his own interests and orders, simply paid attention to what Ed said.

“The Demon Lord…?”

“yes.”

“Uhm… um…”

She just tilts her head, as if she can’t bear to ask why this time.

Even if you think about it that much, there is no way you will come up with an answer. Oel, who soon gave up guessing, turned around.

“…You’ll find out when you go! Let’s go to Dernivan.”

“yes.”

I finally went.

Deon, who was watching the two demons moving away, looked down at the communication stone he was still holding in his hand and then looked back at Lirinel. The sullen expression was still visible.

… Due to time constraints, I think I should let him go now, but if I let him go like this, something will definitely happen later.

It doesn’t matter if Lyrinel’s emotions build up and explode in her relationship with Orel, but it becomes a problem if the repercussions extend to me.

“Lirinel.”

“…Yes Deon…Nii-im?!”

I took Lirinel’s hand and turned it over so that the palm was facing up. Lirinel suddenly grabbed my hand and jumped, but I paid him no mind and placed the communication seat on top of him.

“I have to go now.”

“Yes…yes!”

“There are some things I need to check. I’ll be happy to see you off, so why don’t you just go in? It’s cold.”

“…!”

Deon folded his fingers one by one and made her hold the communication seat, looking into Lirinel’s eyes and smiling. Lirinel’s face exploded.

“I’m not going to wash my hands… no, not this… the communication stone, a lifetime treasure… oh, not this either… yes yes! I’ll go in right now!”

Shush! The commander of the 11th Corps disappeared on the spot, as if moved by magic. Dan, who was watching the whole scene from behind, sighed.

‘Where on earth do you learn things like that…’

I could see the signs even before I became a warrior, but after becoming one, I got really used to using my appearance. I think it was even more so because the commander of the 11th Corps responded well. I can’t tell the 11th Corps Commander not to react.

I just sighed and turned my head when a hand tapped my shoulder. Their eyes met with shaking eyes.

“It’s all sweet… that…”

A trembling finger points to Deon Hart.

ah. Dan sighed briefly inwardly.

“Is that… really our captain…?”

“…Unfortunately yes.”

“why…?”

“Even if you ask why…”

Come to think of it, this was the first time the crazy dogs saw their Master like that. Deon Hardt said he had been seeing him since he was young, so it is quite shocking.

…No, as if this wasn’t ‘quite shocking’ enough, the members of the Lofty Knights each pulled out their hair and shouted.

“No matter how you look at it, he’s a player…! Why? Where is our innocent captain who only knew how to kill and survive?!”

“Is that really a communication seat? It’s not a bomb?”

“Could it be that we misheard? I originally just laughed and told you to die!”

“Or kill someone!”

Geisitel, commander of the 10th Corps, who heard this commotion nearby, muttered absentmindedly.

“It seems to be a different concept from the ‘purity’ I know… Is there a homonym for ‘purity’ in the human world…?”

“…First of all, it’s probably not what you’re thinking about.”

There may be homonyms, but it’s definitely not meant to be used that way…

Dan quietly wiped his face.
