Duke, Please Repent! chapter 288

52. The Duke's Interrogation (1)

When you feel some kind of resentment while watching Serpence's performance.

He came over and put his hand on my head. A warm energy flowed in from the top of the head.

Yes, for some reason I was just passing by.'

The black mist cleared right away, but I was worried about the possible impact.

lira.

Serpence, who confirmed that there was nothing wrong, withdrew his hand.

"Are you going to check the kids too?" Zion asked, "Healing wounds and helping children to be healthy..., ah! Just in case you don't know, is it safe to preserve the divine power right now? Then, just a test..."

"It's okay. No children are seriously ill, and minor trauma treatment is not too burdensome."

Serpens cut me off, and said in a benevolent voice. It means to turn it on when everyone recovers.

With a friendly smile, the boy reached out to the children.

'When I first came, I was so wary... .'

Was it because he appeared in a moment of crisis? Or is it because of Serpence's unbelievably good looks?

Not a single child refused his touch.

Serpens placed his hands on the children and Edna's heads one after another, as he did for me, and awakened the divine power.

The way it emits a silvery luster is very kind and generous,

It looked generous.

I wonder if it's the guy who threw people at people.

"How are the children?"

"It seems to be lacking in nutrition, but there is nothing wrong with his health. Also, he was not affected by black magic."

After completing the trauma treatment for boy Shion, Serpens answered with a smile of relief.

It was a typical external fence, but thanks to the appearance of the evil monkey, the confused children quickly calmed down.

At the opening ceremony, there was a child who smiled brightly saying that an angel had appeared.

The image of him folding the Living Dead seems to have been erased from his mind.

"Ahhh! Serpence, that person . No, he's not a person? Anyway, if he's not alive, can we put it here? Anyway, it is."

A thought that suddenly came to mind, I raised my subspace pocket and asked Serpens a question.

very brief moment. In Serpence's gaze looking at me, the feeling of 'I've seen all the crazy crazy guys' passed by.

Whoever sees it, the guy quickly corrected his expression and made up a smile that seemed to be confused.

"I don't know if it's possible... or not."

"Shall we give it a try?"

"If possible, it could affect other objects in the subspace pocket:"

I am a serpent who speaks as if analyzing

I proudly held out my hand.

He stopped talking and, with an expression of ignorance, placed his hand on my palm.

If in doubt, don't do it. There is absolutely no reflection.

"Not your hands, but the Serpence's subspace bag. Why don't you try the experiment by moving the contents together?"

"Ah ."

Serpence quickly withdrew his hand with a look of embarrassment.

The boy Shion has the white jade-like skin of such a guy and the white snow that sparkles under the moonlight.

Looking at the hair reminiscent of ?" he murmured.

You must have remembered what I said, 'A cat as white as snow.

"Anyway, the experiment is the opposite."

Serpens pretended not to listen to Zion and said to me.

"No, why again?"

"Didn't I say that when the flow of magic stops, it explodes?"

"So, let's put it in here. The inside of the subspace pocket is huge, so it's safe to explode inside, isn't it?"

"Then, what do you think of the wreckage?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yes."

A grotesque scene almost popped into my mind. I shook my head quickly before it took concrete form.

I don't want to carry the subspace bag that contains the exploded corpse, and I don't want to put food in it even more.

Let's just pretend it never happened.

"Then you should have told me first, why did you say what my wealthy thing was talking about?"

"I meant we were going to explode together."

"Whoa... I didn't want to say such cruel things in front of children..."

Not because of the children, but because he didn't do it because he was acting the external version.

Serpence made a noise that didn't make sense to me, and drove me into a villain.

It was unfair, but it was also my fault for cutting off what he was saying, so I decided to pass it on.

"Then what about this Living Dead?"

"I'm going to have to interrogate anyway, so I'm going to wake up the stunned demon worshiper and order it to be quiet."

"Interrogation?!"

" Why are you overreacting so much?"

In the process of Serpens taking over the Dark House.

And on the day he rescued Eugenes from there, in the process of digging up information from traffickers,

I can only guess that he did something like that. At the time, Serpens also admitted it.

'However .'

The little bloody chair I saw in the basement of the duke's warehouse came to mind, and the thought of blocking it unconditionally preceded it.

The torture he does inflicts pain on others, but also exposes one's own pain.

Phil 'When I was like this, it hurts a lot

and it hurts.'

"No, but interrogation is is it okay? Can it , no, it's better not to do it?

"Yes?"

At my gibberish words, Serpens tilted his head, creating a characteristic innocent expression.

It's like I don't understand, the bastard who blinked a few times got his eyes wide

popped out

"If you're thinking of torture you're mistaken. How could I do such a cruel thing?"

In that case, the subject did not change a single expression and ripped out the bones of the Living Dead, which looked just like humans.

Serpens made me a cruel person.

It's embarrassing, but this isn't the first time this has happened. Now I just did it.

"sure?"

"I was going to ask you about this.

I did. Rossio's top, or 'top-priority matters... . I can't help it if you don't answer, but isn't it better than doing nothing?"

There was no lie in his words.

I guess it was really nothing to worry about.

"Shall I wake you up right now?"

Edna asked, pointing to the monkey tied tightly to a blue string of magical powers.

"A little bit here I don't know what a demon worshiper might do, seat.

I'd like to move it."

"Then let's go to the director's room. It's the most spacious except for the playroom and the restaurant, and it's right next to the playroom, so it'll be easy to deal with when something happens."

As Serpens glanced at the children, Edna nodded her head as if she understood.

She drew a magic circle in an instant, lifted the old monkey and the director with magic and moved it to the director's room.

The Living Dead was trapped in a round sphere-shaped holy barrier, so I lightly kicked it and rolled it into the lord's room.

all.

"Hey there! The head teacher..."

As I was about to enter the director's room, Wendy grabbed the hem of my robe and opened her mouth.

A look of confusion appeared in the girl's eyes.

This guy is also the manager. As I watched him confused because of the memories he had been good at for a while, something in his heart started to hurt.

"Uh, that's "

"I caught someone trying to escape through the window. I threw it away in a panic attack, but I'll have to wake him up and hear what he's talking about.

angle."

Serpens responded by pushing me into the chief's room, who was overbearing. It would be a lie to say that he threw it in the middle of a crisis, but it would be true that the manager tried to run away.

Through the closed door, Wendy's face, with a strong sense of disappointment, could be seen at first glance.

Teddy completely erased any expectations I had for the director. It was also the moment when my innocence was broken.

'It's sad... .'

As soon as the door to the director's room closed, Edna performed magic.

It was the same as normal soundproofing magic in that it prevented the sound inside from leaking out, but strangely, all the whispers of the children could be heard.

"That's why I told you not to trust the director too much. They don't even care about things like us."

Shion's voice came out clearly.

This is not just the level of hearing, but the level of amplification.

As there is no adult to take care of the children, Edna, who was worried, performed a special magic.

It was easy to guess what he had hit.

"Black ."

Whew, Wendy? Why are you crying?"

"Ugh..."

Wendy's snarling and bewildered Zion's voice were heard just before the cry burst.

I was thinking about whether I should go out again.

"Child, sir. I'm sorry. I was wrong. Don't cry. Huh?"

with Zion's voice regularly

A pounding sound was heard. He is an elder who has had a good social life, and he was very reliable in trying to comfort him.

It was Zion who poured oil on the burning house in the first place.

"Shion-san, if you're so worried, you should go out..."

Edna, who was watching me put my ear close to the door, uttered a word.

"The only thing I'm worried about is this one thing... Don't worry about me, just do what you're doing."

"Yes...."

Edna nodded in reply.

In my heart, I was hoping that there would be one trusted adult out there, Bodi.

But that's too short-sighted.

Serpens wouldn't do the same thing as clinging to the door out of shape, but it was obvious that if I was outside, I would be so distracted.

The dangers of me acting differently in front of an evil monkey and Serpens acting differently are all over the place.

"By the way, the devil do the demons know that Mr. Zion is the head of the Illuminati?"

Edna asked me a question with a look that had just popped into my mind instead of trying to wake the old monkey.

I guess I was more concerned about the devil's words that captivating me was the top priority.

Serpens looked at me at her question.

At the same time as asking when did I say I was the head of the Illuminati, why did Edna become a demon worshiper?

It's all about asking if you've come to be called a devil.

"Well , I guess I should have known first."

I gave Serpens a look that somehow happened, and answered Ed Na.

"Are you still okay?!"

"Perhaps? Listen to Serpens for more details. He's like my assistant."

"Yes?!''

Edna was startled, but with it or not, I focused on the sound outside.

Wendy, who started the engine as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment, must have regained her composure quickly. Wendy's voice, threatening to children younger than herself, could be heard slowly and quietly.

"The reason the Illuminati's identity is kept a secret is not because of the demon worshipers, but because I and Zion are nobles of the Empire."

"What does that mean?"

that ."

To Edna's question asking for a detailed explanation, Serpens continued to explain.

If you are tied to a single country, the discomfort in your activities will come and go, and so on. That's what I always said.

In addition, a new hypothesis was added that the reason why the demons are silent is that "it seems to be difficult when the Illuminati officially launches and receives support from the continent."

During the explanation, the old monkey and the manager woke up, but Serpens immediately stunned them .

'I didn't have to wake up... ?'

It was absurd, but what about it? As our children spread their creativity

Maybe it's because you're busy.

It is more important for the monkey and the director to grow or not to grow lumps on the head, or for the creativity of Serpens to grow rapidly.

If Euges had been in this position, she would have agreed with me as well.
