Looking out from the counter, I could see a man wearing dark clothes standing outside.
Wearing so many clothes on a hot day made me feel hot for him.
But he himself didn't seem to have any unnecessary feelings.
I took two steps to see what the person who came was doing, but a strong smell of blood came over me.
It wasn't the so-called murderous aura, but a rather fresh smell of blood, as if he had just killed someone and was covered in blood.
etc--
My pace slowed down because of the bold idea in my mind.
If you say...if you say!
Is this true?
The demons who had just killed a village came to hunt for the last guy who escaped.
There was dried blood on his body.
"Yes, it's a demon hunter??" The girl's inner thoughts were confirmed by the surprised voice of the girl.
This man is a demon hunter.
A machine that kills demons.
He does not belong to the Holy See, nor to any empire, but because of his hatred for the demons, he is a person who uses hatred as the only motivation to survive.
They came together to form the Demon Hunters.
Wandering in the territory of the demons, killing.
But in my opinion they are just a bunch of sad guys.
Because their killings never distinguish between targets.
——In their opinion, no one who is a demon should exist in this world.
"Did you see a skinny little demon wearing a cloak here just now?"
In a tone as cold as a machine, he asked the Imperial investigator.
"I didn't see it." Although she answered with dignity and there was no tremor in her voice, I could still hear the armor on her body hitting each other.
Demon hunters are a bunch of lunatics, as scary and pathetic as hungry wolves who smell blood.
Surrounded by the decaying aura of death, he took the blood of the demons as proof.
Even among humans, few people can accept them.
Everyone will be afraid.
They have no attachment to humans, because the things worthy of their attachment have long been destroyed by the demons.
therefore--
They want to destroy the demon clan.
"Really, but that would be troublesome." He glanced at Caroline lightly, "As an investigator of the empire, you must shoulder your responsibilities. There is a demon wandering around here. Although it is He ran away because of my mistake, but if you encounter him, please kill him without hesitation."
"Ming, I understand!"
"And you." He glanced at me, "It's a pity that a good young man doesn't come to hunt demons, especially in a place like this, where he might die one day. If you want to learn a few moves, you can come here I'll just take this and go to the bar."
A copper bottle cap was thrown over, with a blood-stained devil's head engraved on it, and a sword stuck in the middle.
"M-Thank you very much."
Trouble, trouble, trouble, do you want to stop these guys right here?
"By the way, this is a hotel, right?"
He turned his head and glanced inside.
"The demons have wandered into the human territory. If there is one, it will make me uneasy. So I plan to stay here for the next few days until I kill the demon. I wonder if you have any spare room here? "
"Yes, there is."
But I don't want to give it to you at all.
Because there is a demon in the room upstairs.
And there is a pretty noisy girl coming back in the evening.
If possible, she was followed by a bat.
I thought for a moment that this place was probably something like a devil's cave.
"So prepare a room for me."
I rubbed the back of my head in embarrassment, planning to find other ways to reject him.
"Well... because no one has been here for a long time, the room in the shop is actually a little dirty. If-"
"It doesn't matter. As a demon hunter, when you move around the demon territory, you spend a lot of time camping in the wild. If you have a bed, it's okay to be dirty."
Thank you very much.
So I bit the bullet and took the business.
I dug out the notebook from behind the counter, took out a pen and handed it to him.
"Please register."
"Register?" The demon hunter was a little surprised, and then said, "Did you not expect that the management in the hotel is so strict now?"
"Because this place is too close to the demons, so if someone disappears, at least the name written on it can tell others that he has been here."
Using the bard's routine, it's a bit artistic for the time being.
"...The boss can see clearly, but soon you won't have to worry about this matter."
He picked up the pen and wrote his name on it.
"What do you mean, don't worry?"
"The demon hunters have now reached an agreement and plan to operate in the surrounding areas."
"Activity means-?"
"Find the demon king here and kill him." The demon hunter laughed strangely, "You probably can't imagine it, right? Killing the demon king may not be impossible as long as all the demon hunters unite. thing."
No, is it really okay for you to casually tell me such an ordinary villager about such an important matter?
While I was surprised by what he did, I also remembered this incident in my heart.
The imperial inspector could only leave in embarrassment because of the demon hunter's intervention, and the demon hunter walked up to the second floor under my leadership.
"There are people in these two rooms, so please stay here."
"Isn't there only one person in the book that was registered before?" The demon hunter frowned slightly, seeming a little confused.
"The one who's left is my relative."
"······Is that so?"
"That's right."
I looked at the demon hunter with extremely firm eyes.
"Then it doesn't matter."
Probably because he returned to human territory and met simple villagers, this guy didn't have much doubt about my reasons.
I arranged for him to be at the very end of the second floor.
It was quite far away from the room where the demons were kept and the room where Kelras was kept.
"It's really not that good." The demon hunter shook his head, "But the beds seem to be pretty good."
After a lot of useless nonsense, he finally took out the money.
A crisp sound came from the bag on his waist. Judging from the faint golden light at the mouth of the bag, it seemed that there were gold coins inside.
But this room is only worth five silver coins.
So of course he took out the silver coin and put it in my hand.
There must be a lot of money in the bag, right?
if--
I mean if.
If I kill this guy, I won't have to worry about the hotel's liquidity problems for a long time...probably.
