“…But it’s still comfortable.”

“Right, right…? Hehe…”

In the end, Hira finally managed to get Leah, who had been torturing the bra for a long time, to put it on properly and leave.

“If this is the case, then even if the Demon King suddenly touches me like before… No, why are you assuming that it would happen like that? That can’t happen again.”

-Clap clap!

Leah slapped me on the cheek a couple of times, trying to appease me somehow.

“Ah, there… we’re almost there…”

“That’s right. That’s where I saw it earlier. …If the Demon King hadn’t grabbed my chest and fallen, I would have come earlier.”

Hira had an expression on his face that made him neither laugh nor cry. Abel’s authority was too strong for him to laugh.

“Ah, the warrior and the damn succubus queen.”

“Go… Go, Galvein…”

“Why are you here?”

“Why, why, do you really not think of anything when you see me?”

“…?”

Galvein shrugged his head, turning his skull 360°. He pretended not to see the Demon King trying to do it from the side and almost breaking his neck.

“…TS! Change my gender back to normal!!”

“That’s impossible…”

Galvein turned his skull quietly. The wind could not blow through his bones.

Leah grabbed Galvan by the collar in anger and started shaking him.

“Without even trying… Whose Mac is this? If you give me more time and budget, why don’t you just draw the line?”

-Ugh.

Hira said in horror when he saw Leah’s teeth grinding.

“I, I, I… Galvein… Can we… look for him…? If this continues… even Lady Leah… won’t be convinced…”

“Do as you wish. The work the Demon King ordered has finally been completed, so tell the truth-! Heuk. Demon… Demon King…?”

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. Galvein, you have something to do with me, so follow me.”

“No, no-!! Almost every time, out of the Four Heavenly Kings, I’m the only one who goes to the front lines and suffers, but I finally have time to research-!!!”

Galvein was dragged out by the Demon King, struggling. Hmm, I think the Demon King has the list I gave him earlier? Why is the cover a death list?

Rather, since the Four Heavenly Kings only clashed with Galvein in every battle, it turns out that only Galvein really appeared.

“Is it a bit odd that only Galvein came out to fight? If Galvein falls, you and the Vampire Lord will say something like, ‘Heh heh… That guy was the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings.’ ”

“Ah, no… I, I… went out… a few times… The vampire… Lord… went out… once… and Galvan… went out… often… That’s true, but…”

“Then is there a reason why you only send out Galvein?”

“That, that… Galvein… volunteered… to go, but… it doesn’t seem like he wanted to… What should I say, that… ‘The prestige of the Demon King’s Army will fall!’ he said…”

“Ah. So… it’s a semi-voluntary service, right? Like a team leader for a group project. ”

“That, that much…”

“No matter how I look at it, it seems right. …No. Since Galvein just left, let’s search Galvein’s lab.”

“Would that be okay…?”

“Didn’t Galvein give permission earlier?”

‘I thought you meant to go to a library or something and look it up… Maybe you misunderstood… Well, but Leah’s opinion is more important than the skeleton!’

“Yes, yes…! Then let’s look for it…!”

Hira kept the truth quiet. Not only was he not on good terms with Galbain, but Abel had told him to be as considerate as possible to Leah. That wasn’t what he meant.

“I’ll look for this side. Be careful not to damage it.”

“Net? Ah… Yes, yes! ”

However, my plan was blocked from the start.

“…Sodium bicarbonate? The quantum mana conversion theory of the magic world? Dr. Kryan’s thesis…? What, what is this…”

My eyes were spinning. It was clearly written in standard Korean… but what the heck is it saying…?

“I only know that the white is paper and the black is writing…”

“Okay, it’s okay…! When I… looked for it… I don’t know… but… I, I’m sorry…!!! Please don’t throw it away…!!”

“Don’t throw it away, we have to find another way.”

“Thank you for not throwing it away…! I’ll try my best to find it…!”

No, don’t be prepared to die…! That’s too much preparation!

After hastily tearing Hira apart, I looked for a record written in relatively easy words and found a small book with a brown leather cover on Galvein’s desk.

“What is this…?”

“That Richie’s… diary, yes…”

“I guess so… Hira? What are you doing…?!”

“Well, well… if you read this… there might be some kind of clue…”

“It’s a personal diary, right? Is that okay…”

“Okay, it’s okay…! If… a problem arises… I’ll handle it…”

Before I could even say that, Hira was just casually flipping through the pages of the bookshelf. …No matter how I look at it, it seems like he’s not on good terms with Galvein.

“Hmm, so… ‘Imperial Calendar 687 October 27th’… 1, 13 years… ago… ‘The Demon King ordered me to create a magic that would change the essence of the soul so that the hero could use it. That’s probably why. There’s no other way to strip the hero of his qualifications. It seems that Mino also received a separate request, but it’s probably the same as what I was ordered to do.’ I, I didn’t receive anything…? Did I, did I get left behind…? ”

“Would you please continue reading?”

Was that the magic I was subjected to? I wasn’t even ten years old when I was chosen as a warrior, so it wasn’t specifically aimed at me.

“Yes, no…! ‘Imperial Calendar 687 November 1’… ‘Why on earth is the Demon King complaining to me? I think I’ll go out for lunch. There’s also the damn Succubus Queen and Mino? Is it some kind of unspoken pressure? I don’t think it’ll help to think about it. And TS’- …Huh. ”

“Why?”

“Sigh, because of the black magic… I can’t read it… It seems like the defense that Galvein put up… was activated too late…”

“Why in such an important part… I can’t help it. Then I’ll have to look for something else-”

The moment I said that, a strand of white hair fell down my shoulder and caught my hand.

That’s weird, Hira has pink hair, I have yellow hair… How can white hair be caught?

“I just returned from the front lines at the order of the Demon King… Who are you to go through my friend’s belongings in his room? Are you a thief or something?”

“Gyaaah!!!”

Sensing something strange, I raised my head and looked into the empty space, and there was a pale-skinned man with flowing white hair.

“Ah, Mino… Mino!”

“Hira? What are you doing here? No, I don’t need to ask. At least your presence means that you are not doing something dirty like stealing.”

“Uh, yeah… right. Huh… I got permission too…”

Of course, if I heard that, I would get furious and my blood pressure would go up so much that I would collapse.

“Do you two know each other?”

Hira rolled his eyes. It’s not that he didn’t notice…

“Ah, that… that…”

“Sorry for the late introduction, young human. I am the vampire lord, Mino.”

“The Four Heavenly Kings Vampire Lord? He showed up on the front lines once and never came back…!”

“Oh, that’s right. Hira, is this human child your servant?”

“…Uh, uh…? Body… Seed… That. No… If the Demon King hears…”

“?”

“Ah, no… first… continue…”

“It’s a bit too much. Anyway, it’s nice to meet you. What are you looking for here?”

“Um, Hira. Can I tell you?”

“Yes, yes…”

“I’m looking for the research that Galvein was doing. It’s related to TS…”

“Oh, I also have a certain amount of involvement in that research. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”

“…!”

I found an unexpected way out. I didn’t even have to search through Galvein’s room; I just had to ask the vampire lord right in front of me!

“Your face looks interested. Before that, could you come a little closer so we can talk?”

“Okay.”

He walked briskly towards the vampire lord.

“Uh, uh… Wait a minute…! No! That’s… Uh, trying to suck blood…”

-Crack!

“Gyah…?!”

Iron Poke, blood flowed to his eyes.

The moment I was about to take a step back at Hira’s words, the vampire lord grabbed my shoulder and sucked my blood with his teeth, causing all my blood to drain out of me in an instant and all my strength to drain from my body.

“Ugh…”

Without even thinking about the situation, the vampire lord from before must have caught me and was sucking my blood.

“Let go… Let go…! Le… Leah, sir…!”

As expected, I don’t trust the Demons… Ah, except for Hira…

It’s hard to come to your senses. But one thing that’s fortunate is that, unlike in the past when you had to never lose consciousness under any circumstances, now you can just close your eyes. There’s no need to stand guard or anything. When you wake up, won’t everything be resolved somehow?

*****

To conclude, the incident where I was attacked by my current coworker and treated like a lunch box was resolved well.

It was a minor issue, but it only worked out well for me.

“Umm…”

“Ah, Le… Leah!!”

Hira hugged me tightly. Was it because she had been nursing me while I was unconscious? Was it because she had to put a towel on my head? Was it because I was anemic? In any case, she was nursing me with utmost sincerity.

“Wh, what, something might happen… Hehe, I couldn’t protect you… Sob…”

“Don’t cry, Hira. Look. You’re fine. Your arms are moving just fine- huh.”

The moment I spun my arms around like a windmill, my head started spinning. Am I still not allowed to move around too vigorously?

“Ugh, ugh…! Huh? Are you okay…?”

“Yeah. It’s okay… I just had a little bit of anemia.”

“Ugh…”

“Oh, as expected… You’re… okay… right…!!”

“Huh? That wasn’t me that just made that sound?”

“Uh, uh…? Th, th, then…”

It didn’t take long for Hiraga to realize where the sound was coming from.

“I’m sorry… Your Majesty… Keuaaaak…”

Outside the door was a vampire lord with stakes embedded all over his body except for his heart.

The fact that the stakes were driven in so meticulously that not a single gap was visible seemed to show the anger of the person who drove them in.

“Hira, did you do that?”

“That, that, that, how could that be…! I, I… am not… that kind of… cruel…”

“…Then who is it?”

“Um… I don’t know about that… but… what should I do about that…?”

“Still pitiful, let’s pick him.”

“Yes, yes…! You… are so kind…”

As Hira began to remove the stakes one by one, the vampire lord, who was finally able to escape from the stakes, did the first thing he did was to smash my head into them.

“I’m sorry…!! My dwarf eyes didn’t recognize you! Father, please forgive me… I won’t step on even a single blade of grass so that I won’t show even the slightest hint of rudeness!!!”

“Hey, but he’s my coworker… It’s okay, wake up.”

…Why aren’t you getting up?

Finally, Hira, who could no longer stand to watch, approached Mino to force him away.

“I, Le… Lady Leah… The Vampire Lord… I tried… with force… to never fall…”

“What a strange guy… …There’s nothing we can do, let’s just leave him alone. If someone passes by, they’ll probably move aside.”

What a strange person… no, a vampire…

Leah muttered, unable to recognize the fear on Mino’s face.

And Mino continued to bang his head until the next day, and the commotion finally ended with Galvein, who had filed the complaint, dragging Rod away.

If Mino had met Abel even once, or if he hadn’t eaten a meal at Abel’s order to return and had not been so dazzled by the first human he saw, this wouldn’t have happened, but it could be said that he was just extremely unlucky.
