Unorthodox Guild

Did they forget someone in Chapter 29?

"Hehe, ha, haha..."

Kaya's laughter echoed through the guild, resounding through the empty valley, its mournful sound lingering long afterward.

"Miss Corim, look, look, meow..."

The petite girl, who had just survived being crushed by two giant slimes, was shaken by Lilia again.

"The boss was just ignoring Lilia like a stone, but now he's inexplicably laughing."

Lilia seemed a little worried, her big eyes brimming with tears as she looked at the dizzy goblin girl in front of her.

"Boss, is he sick or something? Meow, waah."

"Let go, let go..."

"Miss Corim, you must save the boss, meow, waah!"

"Let go of Corim!"

.........

"vomit......"

The prolonged lack of oxygen caused by the pressure from the giant object, coupled with the violent shaking from Lilia.

This caused the tiny earth spirit to faint on the guild's wooden floor.

Rainbow-colored liquid seeped from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had just vomited quite a bit.

"Meow? Miss Corim, are you alright, meow??"

"Ugh, Lilia will give you CPR right away, hang in there, meow."

"..."

Kaya, having finally finished laughing, glanced at the two frivolous characters in the guild hall.

"In the end, it seems we still have to rely on ourselves."

Seemingly realizing some reality, Kaya sighed, covered her head, and began to think.

Now, things are really messed up. We haven't even settled Princess Serara's matter yet, and now we have to worry about the future of the guild.

"..."

"..."

"That wretched Noelle."

Whenever the guild faces a crisis, Kaya would curse that guy in her mind.

Originally, I only planned to find a junior and run away, but I ended up spending so much time training that guy, and now the guild is in deep trouble.

She's doing well, I wonder where she is enjoying her life.

I get angry just thinking about Kaya.

"If I ever get the chance to run into that guy..."

at the same time.

Demon King's Territory, Demon King's Castle.

The magnificent Demon King's castle, each floor has its own specific function.

The top floor is the Demon King's office, while the basement is generally used to torture despicable humans.

At this moment, the Demon King's castle seems to be affected by some major event.

This created an indescribable atmosphere throughout the castle.

At this moment, in the office on the top floor of the Demon King's castle.

The demon girl with small horns gazed through the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Yura, where have you gone?

Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds.

"..."

Vivian's lips were slightly parted, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Hmm."

It seemed to have sensed the fluctuations of magic.

The girl turned her gaze away from the dark clouds.

As she turned around, she tidied her appearance and then gently closed her eyes.

"Vivian, you're here today too."

His dark gaze pierced through the armor, fixed on the demon girl before him.

"I remember, isn't today a day off?"

A figure clad in armor stepped out from the somewhat distorted void.

"Spatial magic..."

Feeling this unfamiliar magical law.

To be able to use it so skillfully, one would probably have surpassed the previous Demon King, [Kukru], in terms of spatial magic power.

"..."

"My Lord Demon King, I'm just here to tidy up my office."

However, although the girl was impressed by the demon king's power.

Her eyes remained closed, and the girl's tone no longer contained a trace of emotion.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

The Demon King, however, seemed unconcerned about Vivian's behavior.

Silently, he sat down in the leather chair and began to look through the documents on the table.

"My Lord Demon King, if there's nothing else, Vivian will take her leave now."

Slowly opening her small eyes, she glanced at the armored figure beside her, who was focused on matters concerning the demon race.

"..."

Is it really necessary for this guy to work like this?

Not to mention working longer hours than normal people every day, they haven't even had a single weekend off.

Her clothing and manner of speaking lacked any sense of life: if it weren't for the immense magical fluctuations, Vivian would have truly felt that she was assisting a talking stone.

"..."

"Never mind, let's think about what to have for lunch first."

No longer caring about things she couldn't understand, the girl slightly bent down, then took a small step towards the office door...

"..."

"..."

The girl had only taken a few steps.

"......!"

A massive magical force immediately suppressed her figure.

"My Lord Demon King, what is this...?"

The girl's body froze in place, unable to take another step.

"Vivian..."

A deep voice came from behind her, making it impossible for her to see the demon king's face clearly.

"..."

Okay, you can't tell even if you look at it from the front.

"Actually, there's something I want to ask you."

"...May I ask you a question?"

"I want to know what the purpose of this so-called 'special budget' is."

"Could you explain this to me?"

"..."

I don't know if it's the overcast weather today, or the terrifying magic in the office.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie calm.

"..."

"...Lord Demon King."

The girl swallowed hard. "This budget is being used for that human member of the Royal Knights of Asta in the prison."

"..."

"Oh, I see. It seems I misunderstood you."

I felt the terrifying pressure surrounding me vanish instantly.

Her legs buckled, and Vivian lost her balance and collapsed to the ground.

"Huff, huff..."

Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead as he gasped for breath.

"Did Yura tell you to do this?"

"..."

"It seems so."

Seeing that the girl remained silent, the armored figure seemed to know something and did not continue speaking.

"The Demon King's Castle is in such a tight financial situation, yet it has to allocate so much of its budget to a human prisoner."

"But Lord Demon King, that human knows a lot about the Knights of Asta... um."

Before Vivian could finish speaking...

I felt an immense pressure encircling my neck.

The girl clutched her neck in pain, unable to utter another word.

"I don't think I asked you to speak."

"Ten, I'm so sorry, Lord Demon King..."

"..."

The armored hand waved.

"Hmm."

The immense black magic power vanished from Vivian's body in an instant.

"Never mind, this is Yura's decision, I don't blame you."

"However... I am now the leader of the Demon King's Castle."

"..."

Even though the girl had her back to the Demon King's throne, she still felt his condescending gaze.

"I know you and Yura have a good relationship, but for the future of the demon race, I hope you can see the bigger picture."

"......yes."

"You understand, that's good."

They heard the response from the girl who was slumped on the ground.

The Demon King withdrew his magic and, as if nothing had happened, continued reading the documents in his hands.

"Give the order to allocate this budget to the training of the Demon King's army."

"Time is running out. The Demon King's Castle doesn't have the resources or money to torture the captain of a small knightly order."

"..."

"My Lord Demon King, what do you intend for Vivian to do with that knight...?"

"..."

"..."

"Release them."

"..."

"..."
