78 3 Guidelines for action

'That's a little long to talk about. It's time to go back. Unlike the rest of the body of thought, you possess the flesh of life. It's time to rest.'

I was in a strange mood to be labored by the Demon King.

"Especially Chrome Walker. Thou art weaker in flesh than an ordinary man. Until you fulfill the rest of your wish, you won't have to fall down early. '

"You're sweet, demon king."

I laughed sarcastically.

"For the rest is a king full of mercy."

A demon king who speaks in a tone that is neither joking nor serious.

I'll see you soon.

The last time the words disappeared, they disappeared from before me.

Of course, it didn't disappear, and the rest of the conversation must have been after we took a break.

"Master Chrome, are you really going to do as the Demon King says"

As soon as the Demon King was gone, Shea stuffed me.

You look half worried and unhappy with me.

Yurin looks at me anxiously.

"I don't believe in demon kings. I just decided it was a good story for me, too."

I lost both of them.

─ ─ Organize the situation in your head.

First, the purpose of the Demon King is to revive himself - to materialize into this world once again.

I can't wield much power because I'm in a residual state of mind now, but if I'm resurrected, I'll reign as a mighty demon who spreads fear into the world again.

Naturally, I can't let you do that.

So, it looks like he needs a ton of [darkness] to come back to life.

The means for supplying it is the activation of the 'Altar of Darkness'.

In order to activate it, he needed a strong [dark] force, and he asked me for it.

but even with my [darkness], the final activation of the altar did not materialize.

So the next step was to explore the ruins.

If you go to the ruins, you will have the means to activate the altar until the next stage.

It was also a story that there was a tactical record within the ruins for vs. [chaos].

If you get that, it's good enough for me.

It would be in the interest of both sides if we successfully completed the search for the ruins….

"That's the premise that if the demon king's story is true,"

Shea stuffs further.

The distance my lips just barely touched me was unexpected.

"Aren't you going to doubt it?

"I knew you weren't mad, Shea?

"I'm just worried! I believe that Master Chrome..."

Shea distorted her expression.

Is it sadness or something else?

My eyes stare at me with thin tears and a strong light.

But I couldn't accurately read the emotions that dwell there.

"Even with mighty skills, your own body is much weaker than a normal human being. So I'm... I'm still anxious. Something unexpected happened, just in case."

"... I'm sorry, I made you care"

I put my hand on her shoulder.

"Dear Chromium..."

Shea cheeks at the hand and mouths gently.

"I am your [subordinate]. I will obey your judgment, and if there is danger in the ruins, I will protect you."

"Thanks...... Shea"

"Oh, me too ~"

Lily raised her hand, hissing, as she panicked.

"Even I feel the same way about Master Chrome. Benefits are the same."

"Right. Protect Master Chrome with me, Yulin."

"Yes."

Two girls nodding each other.

"Then the course of action is settled for now. Both of you, please."

I stare at them equally.

and

"─ You were here, Mr. Chrome."

When I wondered if the black fog was obsessed in the front, I became a person and materialized.

The luscious beauty of a true vampire ancestor, Franjurus.

The black coat is torn all over me and blood is coming from the white skin.

"... Something wrong?

"I was wounded in the fight against the intruders. It'll heal in a while."

And, Franjurus.

Intruder...?

"Mr. Margo has already finished it"

That's what Franjurus replied, looking at me.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Chrome? This is an area that no one but executives is allowed to enter."

It's like slashing, eyes.

Those eyes shake like a surprise.

"This faintly lingering sign - no way, Demon King...!?"

"If it's residual, we just met."

I just said that.

"I didn't know you were, like, already materializing and in contact with Mr. Chrome"

Franjurus shrugged his lips.

"─ Before this one was ready, you met. To the Demon King."

"You said you were ready? What does that mean?"

"Yeah, actually..."

Franjurus started talking.

Originally, it seems she was about to summon the Demon King in a ritual.

Of course we cannot revive the body or anything, but for a limited amount of time, it was possible if we were to embody residual ideas.

but sooner than I could complete the ritual for it, I met that residual thought.

Franjurus said that if he came here, he could show me some tips for me to gain further strength.

So, it seems that the 'tip' she had prepared was the Residual Thought Summoning of the Demon King.

As it turned out, without waiting for it, I was able to meet with the Demon King.

The original purpose of getting tips was fulfilled.

So, what are we gonna do with this guy?

I stared at Franjurus once more.
