Butcher Demon-Chapter 279
Chapter 279
“Here ★▲▲＃○■”
The manager throws something at me
I receive it. What is this, grass again? geez, this stupid grass…….
Nevertheless, I, who was always being fed by this put it in my mouth like a reflex. *nom nom*, delicio–us?
I feel something crunchy.
I glance down and notice a magic stone in the bundle of grass.
Then, Manager immediately slashed at me.
I hurriedly caught the battleaxe —- but it was light.
『Gevaudan.』
A deep baritone voice echoed in my body. Telepathy.𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
『Good day, manager.』
I felt like an employee.
How stupid….this should have been our memorable first conversation…
But it can’t be helped because he’s been looking after me for years…….
As I blushed in my mind, the manager spoke to me while attacking me with an axe.
『I’ve heard about the situation from Mustachio.』
『Mustachio again…….』
He pretends to fight as he applies no force to the axe.
『What situation ?』
『I hear you are going to free Oberon. I’m the only one in Faymbaum who knows about this at the moment.』
『I’d like you to step aside for now, manager. I don’t like to hit people who have helped me.』
『Neither do I want to be beaten up by you. So don’t get too serious.』
『I understand.』
It’s embarrassing to speak politely. But now it’s hard to change it back now…. You can’t get rid of employee spirit so suddenly.
『I’ll help you with Oberon.』
『Eh.』
Unintentionally, I put a force in my strike.
When his axe flipped, the manager clicked his tongue. Sorry…….
We swap our standing positions to create a scene of a heated battle.
『I’m against this war, you know.』
『You are against it?』
『In Miforsis, there is a group that thinks like me – the Resistance.』
『Resistance…』
『Yes, We are a group that opposes the reign of the Demon King Narus Exista.』
『Haawa. In other words, the manager is…』
Really, the manager is a rebel.
I’m not sure if it’s right to talk about such a risky topic in front of such a big crowd. Is it OK because it’s telepathy?
『I have been following Narus since before the Golem War, he is mad. He creates new dungeons to keep the existing ones running. That cycle has tormented him. The more he is reminded of this, the more he grows his persecutory delusion and isolates himself behind his self-righteous mentality. This has reached a critical point since the creation of Tartarus. Narus is no more.』
『Then why don’t you start a revolution?』
『I was thinking about doing it eventually, but I can’t do that because of this war —-haa!』
The blow struck a bit hard. Manager is strong. You shouldn’t take it out on me.
『It’s crazy to use Butcher as a weapon. Those things need to be disposed of. It’s like having a bomb in our pockets. One mistake, and everything will blow up.』
I can feel the manager’s energy coming through the axe. He is very angry.
『It doesn’t matter if they are subhuman or not. The act of feeding the soul of a fallen warrior who has fought bravely and giving them a second death is madness. Narus has gone mad. That is not a sane person’s mind.』
『……』
『I feel sorry for you from the bottom of my heart. Gevaudan.』
This is bad, I’m about to cry, my tears won’t come out, but…
『So what was Manager doing in that town, then?』
『I’m gathering my friends. It’s my task to contact our old friends who have been scattered in the front line. In truth, Orlando is also against the use of the Butcher. I wanted to take advantage of that and bring him in.』
『Orlando is also against it. Surprising.』
『So…… if you want to destroy Tartarus, free Oberon, and stop the Butcher outbreak. I will assist you. With the large quantity of magic power poured into Tartarus, the present Narus is barely able to sustain a massive number of dungeons. If Tartarus is sealed, the reign of Narus will end.』
『And for that matter, why are you so eager to support me, an enemy? Can I really trust you?』
Because you like me? just kidding
His cow’s eyes are round and shiny. We exchanged our glances from close range.
As I silently waited for an answer, Manager shrugged.
『–I haven’t paid you yet. You’re still my employee. It’s my duty to take care of you.』
My employee. Uwa, *badump*. I’m in love.
Well, if a Butcher speaks to someone like that…
『Gevaudan, we’re going to have a little trade off right now.』
『trade off?』
『I’m actually quite famous, you see. If we show them my flashy defeat just after you beat Orlando, Faymbaum’s soldiers will be intimidated. Phoenicia will temporarily withdraw their troops to avoid a loss of morale. You should do the same, feigning some injury and let the Titans withdraw. When you retreat, you’ll find earrings in that bundle of grass, so the Resistance can——–』
At that moment, Manager suddenly stopped and looked up.
Almost simultaneously, I noticed something unusual.
The strange noise approaching from afar caused everyone in the area to look around.
