The Demon King of Lust's Cheating Slow Life in Another World (WN): Chapter 200

 

Light's Melancholy

I am tired. Not physically but emotionally...

I've been explaining to a lot of people until today.

I told the adventurers and Ains and the others, who were arguing with the adventurers as soon as we left the forest, and the royal guard knights who were calming them down, that we were safe and explained what had happened before we left the forest.

After that, at the adventurer's guild, I told the guildmaster that a spirit appeared in the [Demon Forest] and explained it to the guildmaster...

When I returned to the royal capital, I was asked to hand over the body of the royal guard knights to the royal castle, and was interrogated about what happened in the [Demon Forest], where I also explained various things...

I honestly think I've talked enough for a lifetime.

But... it's not over yet...

There is the assassin who we had captured. I have to interview that one.

After the interview at the royal castle was over, I returned to the branch and teleported to the dungeon where I heard Ginko's story.

As expected, he is a professional assassin. Apparently, he didn't talk easily. Of course, we are not experts in interrogation or torture.

I looked at this assassin with the [God's Eye], extracted information, and stole every skill that seemed useful.

I hadn't raised my [Tamer] skill, but thanks to this assassin it leveled up.

Well, I don't have any use for this assassin anymore...

"Master. It's better not to be too naive. Do not show mercy to those who have fallen into the path of evil. Leave this to me. I owe him a debt......"

Come to think of it, Ginko was poisoned by the poison slime released by this assassin...

"I'm sorry, Ginko. Can I ask you for it?"

"Master, this is not a pleasant thing to look at, so please stand back."

"No, I'm responsible for catching him. I'll be right here."

Ginko nodded at my words and began stripping in front of the assassin. The assassin was stunned at first, but Ginko's transformation into Fenrir made him pale.

And before he could scream, Ginko devoured him and tore him to pieces.

This is going to linger for a while... It's really that bad...

I got out of the prison I had made in the dungeon, thanked the dark elves who were watching over him, and told them that I was done, and returned to my room.

I collapse onto the bed, bury my face in the pillow, and think.

As expected, he was an assassin sent by the church. This time, the target is me and Rain as well. I don't know why, but it was probably because they didn't want Ains to be dominated by us and because Fran was siding with us.

I thought about handing over the assassin to the royal castle, but it probably wouldn't solve anything. The assassin would be erased and the Church would get away with it.

I know from memory reading that the assassin and the church had a brilliant deal and they left no evidence behind.

It turned out that Baron Stefano Garcia was doing the direct business. In the assassin's memory, that old man was talking about the church.

Moreover, it seems that the last attack by bandits was set up by this old man...

I was shocked to hear that such an important topic was being talked about so bluntly by the assassin.

I wonder if I can get some evidence that would link Baron Stefano to the church......

No, I don't think that cunning church would fall apart that easily...

As my thoughts began to drift off to sleep, I concluded that it was a good thing that I had protected Fran this time, and I went to sleep.

We came back about 5 days earlier than planned, so we had some free time. I could have gone to the academy right away, but I talked with Rain and decided to take the time off to relax.

Rain was also very tense during the trip and was clinging to Maria as soon as she got back. It seems that she was being s*xually harassed by Ains's cronies without my knowledge.

"That guy with useless muscles touched my butt every time I passed him! I can’t forgive him if he had done that to Fran-san!"

I can't forgive him for s*xually harassing her...

Ahh~ I guess I should have honestly asked the spirit to kill him at that time...

No... If I think of that kind of joke again, that spirit will take it seriously, so let's stop it.

We didn't do anything for about three days, just spent time with the family. During that time, I was worried about Fran, but it seemed like the queen had summoned her, so I couldn't meet her.

It was on the last day of my day off that I finally met Fran.

I took Fran out of the mansion and went to our usual cafe, where Rain, Fran, and Ayako ate delicious food.

"It's been a while since I've spent time with you two like this."

Fran said that and smiled.

"I'm busy with a lot of things... even at the academy..."

Rain muttered and looked at her with a distant look. Apparently, she felt depressed as she remembered those juniors.

"Yes... I'm glad that I am admired, but..."

Fran also looked down a little.

"Well, both of you, don't look so gloomy, let's eat as much as we like today, so let's not talk about dark things. Okay?"

I said that and handed them the menu list. I hope they feel a little better after eating......
