That person’s younger sister
[Hey, hey, how sudden. Wouldn’t you like to try something else after a while? We work together to achieve a common goal. We should first celebrate it with a feast—–]
[Shut. I’m not going to continue with your silly jokes]
Ada who blatantly directed her hostility at me, While i only regret exaggeratedly.
[That’s so cruel. After you’ve used my body the way you wanted, do you just throw me away when you’re done? You are all the same]
[I said shut up!]
[Since when did you get so wild? In the past you used to be such a pure and innocent devil]
[……….!]
I felt a sign that she was surprised. Taking advantage of that, I slipped away from Ada. Looking back, my eyes met Ada who was with a frustrated face. Well, I expected it, but it seems that she really believed that I did not know her “true identity”. Oh the irony.
[Are you underestimating me or are you too shallow?]
[… ..S-Shut up… ..]
[What appeared after revealing the identity of the false hero, was a villager. What will appear after revealing the identity of the villager —– well, it was very interesting that you put double replication magic on yourself. But after all, your magic only changes the appearance. To your bad luck, if you become a magician of my caliber, you can see that kind of thing from the aura]
Ada, who was still silent, clenched her teeth tightly.
[Well, this question is also the second time. Should I forcibly undo your magic or do you prefer to reveal yourself?]
[…..Fine. From the moment you appeared in front of me, I have always wanted to express my hatred to you with my true form]
Immediately after saying those words with an aggressive tone, Ada’s appearance began to distort. Her poor brown hair was turning silver and her villager appearance changed to that of a beautiful girl. And the most important difference—–
Black wings spread from her back. The girl who was Ada stared at me with her large demonic wings.
Because the magical aura she emitted was the same as “that person”, I imagined that she would be a close relative. But, to think that those overlapping characteristics were so similar —– I respectfully bowed to the girl in front of me to pay respect to “that person”.
[You look exactly like her. You are her younger sister right?]
[That’s right. I am Theodor, the younger sister of the demon lord killed… ..!]
Theodor screamed with an aura of anger, and her long silver hair fluttered.
[Hero Raul, the enemy of my older sister, the demon ! Get ready!]
When she pulled a dagger from her thigh, she approached me without hesitation. Theodor, I understand your anger. But, I still can’t die.
If i used magic, I could easily stop her movements in an instant. However, I didn’t feel like doing it that way. I waited a bit before she could cut my throat, and grabbed her arm on the spot.
[Ah… ..!]
CLANG —– making a murky noise, the dagger fell to the ground. I held her hands together and turned her onto her back. I must teach this silly little girl the difference in power. I don’t care if she wants revenge, but there is no point in just getting upset.
[L-Let go of me!]
Holding her hands above her head, and being between me and the wall, Theodor struggled frustratedly.
[You’ll only suffer if you keep struggling]
As i applied pressure from behind, a pained gasping voice leaked from Theodor’s lips. I put my lips close to her ear and whispered softly.
[Do you now understand? I could kill you so easily]
[Fuck you… . someone like you… ..!]
It feels like I’m looking at myself in the past. I looked at Theodor with a coldly and then turned her body over. The line of sight is close enough to see each other. When I reached out and put my right hand on her slim white neck, Theodor let out a shaky voice.
[Huh… ..uhh]
I lifted Theodor’s body against the wall with one hand. Both of her feet kicked painfully in the air.
[Don’t think about getting revenge by letting yourself be carried away by your emotions. You should know that you have no chance of winning]
[U-Uguh… ..!]
[There is no way you can kill me by attacking me from behind. Your bloodlust is very obvious, you cannot use magic, you have no strength. Everything is half-baked. That’s why you can’t get your revenge, you’d just die like a dog]
[Agahhh… ..!]
[Oh well. I am very kind to those who seek revenge. So I’ll let you choose]
When I released her neck, Theodor’s body fell to the ground. As I looked at her lying down and her breathing desperately, I snapped my fingers. Theodor, who was shedding tears, looked at a mountain of gold and silver treasures that suddenly appeared.
[Here’s the treasure Allingham had amassed. This should be enough for the enslaved demons to rebuild their lives]
[……… ..!]
[Will you take this and go with the enslaved demons? Or do you want to face me again and die for nothing? What do you choose?]
The hatred in Theodor’s eyes didn’t disappeared, even after she was about to be killed. I think this girl is dumb, but I don’t dislike that. She is shallow enough to get angry, a weak avenger. I don’t hate you, Theodor. Although I regret your simplicity, lack of thought and weakness.
[…..Damnit]
[Hahahaha. Come on, don’t say that. I really understand your feelings. Because in front of you is the person you want to take revenge on. It’s humiliating and painful to turn your back on him, am i right? But, without this money, it doesn’t matter if the slaves are free, they won’t have a life]
[……… ..]
[Even if your country was destroyed, you wanted to protect your people because you are part of the royal family. That’s why you called me, to help you free the demons, isn’t it?]
When I said that, Theodor looked down.
[Hey, there’s something I’d like to ask you. Can you do it?]
Theodor was just silent, so I accepted it as yes, and continued as usual.
[It’s about the girl you were dressing up as, Ada. When I asked the neighbors, they said that the whole family suddenly disappeared. By using the magic of darkness to look at the recorded residual thoughts of the place, I couldn’t understand anything other than what happened to Charles. The whereabouts of Ada, her mother and her younger sister is unknown. All I found out was that the mother and sisters left the house separately. What happened to those three?]
[……… ..]
[Did you kill them?]
[….. You’re wrong! When I found them, they were already… ..!]
At that moment, her words stopped on the spot.
[When I recovered and was able to move, I desperately searched for Charles’s missing family. I found their bodies in a forest cabin on the outskirts of town, when they were already in a state of decomposition. But, I was able to get an idea of what happened to them. There were signs of restrains in the limbs and all three were naked. And from what I could see on their bodies… ..there were terrible wounds that implied that they were raped. After that, when I approached Allingham as the fake hero and stole his diary, I saw that what happened at that time was described in detail]
[I see]
I could only say that. My current self does not have the heart to feel sorry for the misfortunes of others that have nothing to do with my revenge. First of all, if I said words of sympathy, Theodor would attack me even if she can’t win. Let’s change the subject a bit.
[There is another thing that makes me curious. What is the connection between you and Ada?]
[That is something you surely already know]
[Ha ha. Is it a little obvious? One of the demon girls Charles saved and it was unknown if she would survive, it was you, right?]
[……… ..]
[I have no evidence. It’s just a guess]
But even though Theodor pretended to be Ada, there is no other reason for Charles’ revenge.
[But even if my guess is correct, it is a mystery that you, the demon lord’s younger sister, was being treated like the other demon slaves. I don’t think Allingham knew of you. If he had known that you were the demon ‘s younger sister, he would have given you preferential treatment. Ah, in the bad way, of course]
Theodor made a disgusted face again. It’s like I don’t want to talk about this anymore. I just asked out of curiosity, I didn’t mean to dig deeper.
[I understand. Let’s get back to the topic. If you refuse, I will keep this money. They don’t matter enough to me to change and care for their lives. To them I am just the hated enemy who defeated the demon ]
If I had to take care of them, I would just throw them around. Having said that, Theodor clenched her fists and stared at me. Will that be your last childish resistance?
[Well, what will you do? My next target is waiting, so I’m very busy. Decide in the next three seconds]
[Shit…..]
[Three two…..]
Tears of frustration trickle from Theodor’s eyes. She’s very serious. You don’t need to think about it so much. If it is knowing that it is for the sake of demons, she would retire here. That alone is enough. It is unusual to see someone who is so bad at balancing their emotions.
[One…..]
When I counted at this point, Theodor dropped her shoulders. Her eyes were no longer looking at me. That should be your answer.
[Hm. I think it was the right choice. For you, of course]
I put my hand on Theodor’s shoulder. She didn’t try to push me away or anything like that.
[Goodbye, partner. Thank you for being part of my revenge]
I waved my hand and left. To go to the next stage.
Unlike you, there is no other way for me than revenge.
Ohh so she was the sister now more questions pop up about Raul. Well then I wonder what chapter 2 is all about.
Hmm maybe I should also change demon king to demon lord…..
