I’m Not That Kind of Talent Chapter 308

308. Commit a greater sin than anyone else (6)

While waiting for Lirinel, Deon finished writing the order. There was no hesitation in the movement of the pen as the rough distribution of troops had been completed in my head.

‘Since the large force of the 1st Corps has gone to the Empire, it would be fine to send the remaining 10th and 12th Corps without any hesitation to the Empire.’

And considering the case where Jaykar and Dernivan Ririnel face off against other corps commanders, the 7th corps commander is as strong as he is crazy, so it would be a good idea to send him to the empire as well for Jaykar to face.

Small letters were written squarely on top of the extra documents.

[Empire – 1st Legion, 7th Legion, 10th Legion, 12th Legion] There

is a 9th Legion in the Mountain Country, and I promised Dernivan that I would send it there, so I can send the 5th Legion there as well. It is difficult to determine how much power Dernivan will consume when dealing with the 9th Corps commander, so you can easily add the 8th Corps without a corps commander here with some leeway.

‘Even if the 9th Corps commander is injured, it will be difficult to deal with him because he is a formidable enemy. There is no need to send a full army of corps commanders to a country that is not a strong country.’

So now the remaining space is…

Crunchy. The pen moved busily.

[Empire – 1st Corps, 7th Corps, 10th Corps, 12th Corps]

[San Kingdom – 5th Corps, 8th Corps, 9th Corps]

[Rweche – 3rd Corps, 4th Corps] After

writing down the parts of the 3rd Corps and the 4th Corps that went to Rweche as an advance team, there were three positions left. . 2nd Corps, 6th Corps and… 11th Corps.

Since Jaykar and Dernivan are already in the Empire and Mountain Country, I plan to send Lirinel to Rweche. She will definitely listen to whatever I say, so it doesn’t matter if I write it down in advance.

With the sound of a pen nib scratching paper, the 11th Legion was added to Rweche.

‘I think it would be appropriate to just put the remaining corps in Sanguk and Leweche one by one on an equal footing…’

2nd corps. And the 6th Corps.

Even if the 6th corps is like that, the 2nd corps are really picky guys. In particular, the corps commander, Develania, was overwhelmingly picky compared to other corps commanders.

Which side would it be better to send her to? The red gaze stared at the paper as if it could burn it.

‘… In terms of the troops themselves, the 2nd Corps is weak, and in its current state, the forces to be sent to the Mountain Country are a bit stronger, so sending them there would balance the balance…’ You should have seen ‘corps commander’ instead of ‘corps’

. Sometimes it is the opposite.

Because the 3rd corps commander is missing, Sanguk’s side is overwhelming in terms of the quality of the ‘corps commander’, but as previously recalled, apart from the military power of the corps itself, the 2nd corps commander is a very difficult opponent. Even so, Dernivan, who was going to deal with the 9th Corps commander with all his might, could not have a terrible corps commander who was gnawing on his nerves in many ways.

‘Because if you’re not careful, you could end up dying without succeeding in anything.’

Killing the 9th Legion commander and other demons including the corps commander. What loss would there be if everyone failed and died?

‘When looking only at the corps commanders, the Rweche side, which only has 4 corps commanders, is the most formidable, so it wouldn’t matter if 2 corps commanders were added.’

I believe that Ririnel will take care of this.

This concludes the conclusion. He moved the pen and engraved the number of each corps in the empty space.

[Empire – 1st Corps, 7th Corps, 10th Corps, 12th Corps]

[San Kingdom – 5th Corps, 8th Corps, 9th Corps, 6th Corps]

[Rweche – 3rd Corps, 4th Corps, 11th Corps, 2nd Corps] Well,

I guess we can send it like this.

As I was finalizing the order based on this, I heard a knocking sound on the window frame. When I looked up, Lirinel was smiling brightly as if she was asking for permission outside the window.

‘…’

Deon looked at her blankly for a moment and then nodded.

After reading the permission, she quickly comes inside. As soon as Deon was alone, she closed the window she had left open again and turned her transparent eyes towards him.

“I heard you called me.”

“…okay.”

The inside of my mouth feels uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because he felt sick from the terrible bloody smell, but Deon quietly raised his hand and gently covered his nose and mouth. Apart from that, he steadily spit out his business.

A more subdued voice came out.

“It’s time.”

“…ah.”

It’s time to die.

Recalling the conversation and promise from a while ago, Lirinel widened her eyes for a moment and then smiled brightly.

“It seems like this war is a stage.”

“yes.”

Unlike her, who smiles carefreely as if the speaker and listener are reversed, Deon’s complexion becomes pale and dying the more they talk. As if trying to relieve his tension, Lirinel spoke in a lively voice.

“It looks like you want something more than just my death. In that case, I think it would be better not to place you in the same place as the crazy… Lofty Knights.”

“…The reason is?”

“You know. “It doesn’t matter where I go, but for the best efficiency, it’s better that way.”

It’s a loss to tie up a useful card called magic.

Deon paused at the added remark.

“…I knew.”

“I am the most adept at using magical power in the Demon King’s Castle. Oh, of course, except for the Demon King.”

“Okay…”

Deon wiped his face with a dry sigh.

The epaulettes attached to each shoulder of the crazy dogs contain amulets. The unexpected attack that I kept silent about even though I knew this was quite painful.

After holding his breath for a moment, he continued speaking without stopping, as if he would not hesitate any longer.

“I will send you to Rweche. Once you capture the castle there….”

Kill all the other demons and die.

Don’t show me dying, and don’t show me running for me. I just hope it quietly does its job and disappears unnoticed.

I hope you don’t become the cause of my agitation.

“….”

“…What is the answer?”

At the sharp question demanding an answer, Lyrinel, who was looking at Deon with dead eyes that seemed to delve into his heart, smiled broadly and nodded.

“Please leave it to me.”

It was truly a pure smile.

And a few days later.

Orders were delivered to corps commanders.

It was a moment when a large-scale expedition that was unprecedented in the history of the Demon King was taking place.

***

The day when the rear detachment departs according to the order of the general commander.

After completing all preparations, Lirinel sat down for a moment and played with Deon’s portrait instead of going straight out. There was a man in the frame who looked exactly like him in real life, the only thing different from him in reality was the length of his hair.

‘…It was said that the Demon King himself drew it.’

It was a gift from someone who is now dead and no longer in the world.

I said that because I was so happy and grateful.

[If you need any help in the future, please feel free to let me know! I will help as much as I can!]

…If I had known it would be like this, I should have treated you better.

There were no subsequent requests for help. Ririnel wasn’t a distant demon enough to care about it even though there was no request.

I felt bad because I felt like I was wiping my mouth forever after receiving a big gift.

‘How hard would it have been for a mere human to survive in the Demon King’s Castle?’

A bitter smile appeared on his lips.

For a moment, Lirinel lightly kissed the forehead of the person in the portrait and stood up. There was still a voice in my heart that wanted to be greedy in life, but it was not at a level that I could ignore.

‘Because my greed shouldn’t be mixed with serving others.’

It was fun thanks to Deon.

I made demon religion, ate pretty shaped cookies, the warmth I felt implicitly was sweet, and I was happy just looking at his face. If it weren’t for him, there were things I would never have experienced in my life, so now it’s Deon’s turn to be happy.

So, I will not pollute this heart by using the excuse of love for my personal greed. Whatever he wants, he’ll do it, no questions asked.

I snapped my fingers. Immediately the portrait caught fire and the painting began to melt, using the wooden frame as firewood.

Since it is a magic that only burns the target, there will be no chance of the fire spreading. All you have to do is go on like this.

Nevertheless, Lirinel stared at the flames for a long time as if she were mesmerized, and only turned around when she heard a voice urging her to knock on the door from outside.

…Someone asked in my heart.

‘Don’t you want to live?’

Instead of answering, Lirinel simply muttered one sentence.

Beautiful. Strong.

‘…For my kind God.’

***

Deon prepared to go out alone.

Even if you proceed quickly with the work, you have to face troublesome people such as learning shield techniques from the Demon King or dealing with D’Vellania who brought information during the unavoidable spare time, so you are mentally tired, but your body is unwilling to take care of you because there is no one to take care of it for you. I had to move it steadily.

I have left the external preparations to my deputy, Ed, so I have to take care of myself personally. Nevertheless, Deon, who had been lost in thought while fiddling with the clothes Ed had made for him, opened his mouth out of habit.

“But this time, I’m going to wear ‘those’ epaulettes. Where is my epaulette where I told you to keep the talisman before…”

Ah.

The lips that had spit out the name of the person who would not answer were quickly closed.

It was a call that came unconsciously. It was Dan who first obtained the amulet, and it was Dan who was ordered to put it in his epaulet.

“….”

Deon, who was silent for a moment, then turned around and started searching the closet himself.

Just as I expected it to be hidden in a not-so-difficult place, I noticed an epaulette placed next to it pretending to be an extra item.

Of course, there is a possibility that it is not, but the hero’s senses tell us that it is correct, so it is probably correct.

I thought for a moment while holding my shoulder strap.

‘It’s difficult to put it on yourself when you’ve already worn it…’

I’m not confident I can wear it well.

‘I guess it would be okay to just go to the crazy dogs and ask them to do it.’

You will hear persistent pleading and nagging until the end, but it will be better than having your epaulettes fall into the hands of demons.

The moment Deon, who had been looking at the shoulder straps intently, made a rough conclusion and turned his head.

“Shall I do it?”

A refreshing voice was heard.

After hurriedly shifting my gaze, I saw the Demon King smiling brightly, leaning his upper body against the window frame, as if he had just come in.

“…I left the window open, so now it’s like a dog or a cow….”

“Huh?”

“No, nothing.”

Deon swallowed back half of his true feelings and asked with a shocked expression.

“Are you coming in through the window?”

“It’s better than coming over and being a bother, right? “It will attract less attention if you do this.”

“….”

“It looks like it would be harder to wear that by yourself… Shall I do it for you?”

“Okay—”

Before he could finish his sentence, he narrowed the distance with great strides, grabbed the epaulet in his hand, and stopped – only moving his eyes to look at Deon. For a moment, he casually touched the epaulette and placed it on Deon’s shoulder, as if he had never done it before.

It was a clean, undisturbed hand movement that did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort.

“Make sure you have a safe trip without any injuries.”

Tuk-tuk. A gentle hand taps the shoulder a couple of times as if cheering. The red eyes that followed the hand and glanced back up to see the devil’s face.

As always, the Demon King grinned as he faced the blood-red eyes burning negatively with all kinds of emotions mixed in without hesitation.

“You have to think about the future as well. “Save yourself.”

“….”

“Because I’m fine here.”

My limbs are intact, but you have to get hurt to use them?

It was truly a consistent smile.
