The demon hunter had been silent since he entered the room.
This is a slightly annoying thing, but in other words I can't solve this problem.
After all, I'm just an innkeeper now. If I try to persuade people to do something, I will obviously be suspected of my intentions.
So at this time, I still chose——
Act like nothing happened.
In short, I can easily deal with this guy when Kyle Rath and Aidolu come back in the evening. So far, I don’t have to risk exposing myself to him. The only thing I need to pay attention to is not to let him know what’s going on in the next room. It's better who lives there.
But in the evening, there was new movement among the witchers.
He walked down the stairs, then looked at me and said, "When will the hotel close?"
"It closes very early in the evening." I said helplessly. "Because the store makes small profits, both candles and magic lamps are too expensive, so--"
Of course, I won’t say anything about the fact that I know magic and don’t need anything like that at all.
"Is this so——"
He paused on the stairs as if he was thinking about something, and then walked down slowly.
"In that case, I'll lend you this thing for now." He took out something from his pocket that looked very similar to a flashlight on Earth.
"This is a magic lamp that can dispel it. If you can at night, please boss, please wait for me a little longer."
It doesn't matter anymore, but I'm more curious about what you plan to do than this.
So I asked the question in the same tone as a regular boss.
"Guest, what are you planning to do—"
"Hunt the demons and go to inquire about the situation in the Demon King's territory."
"Are you alone?"
I admire his courage very much, but in most cases, I define this behavior as delivering food.
Only a strong brave man like me has the confidence to enter such a terrifying place as the Demon King's Domain alone.
Although it has now been proven that those little bosses are actually pretending to be dead, there is still no way to conceal my amazing courage and strength.
Anyway, so much bragging.
If he plans to go, I would very much welcome him. It would be best if he died there like this. ,
But I just said these words in my heart, and on the surface I still pretended to be quite respectful.
"How majestic this is!!" He said this like an NPC in a novel.
This is probably the role I play in so-called RPG games.
I am about to set off to fight the last big boss at the last save point, and send blessings to the brave.
It's a pity that this demon hunter seems to ignore me at all, as if I am just an NPC that can be negotiated.
After he was far away, I made an international gesture to his back.
"You're so dumb!"
Only a devil should bless such a person! Hurry and die in the swamp and be torn apart by crocodiles and horses!
After finally confirming that he was really gone, I walked upstairs.
It's been such a long time now. If there's still no movement upstairs, can there be any problem?
I'm still a little worried.
Because now I can almost confirm that the young demon upstairs is the target of this demon hunter.
And it is very likely that it is the last fire left by a certain demon village.
So I am very worried that she will not be able to bear the pressure because she is too young and will do something amazing.
So, when I opened the door, I was prepared for the worst-case scenario of seeing ketchup all over the floor.
But when I actually opened the door, I found that the room was eerily quiet, as if no one was there.
If the negative aura hadn't still been there, I would have thought the little guy had run away.
Then again, being able to escape from the magic circle I set up proves that she is not simple.
I'm not a master at arranging magic circles, but the things I've laid out are definitely not something that a young demon can easily break through.
So I searched around the room, and sure enough I found the demon in the corner of the corridor between the bed and the window, hugging his legs and curling up into a ball.
"Hey, I said -" She stretched out her hand and just when she was about to touch it, she jumped up like a frightened bird, as if she was about to run out/
But she didn't know whether it was because the bed was too high or because she really had no strength. Although she jumped up subconsciously, she didn't actually leave the place in the true sense. Instead, she fell back after hitting the edge of the wooden bed.
······This little guy is a bit cute.
"Well, you don't need to be so scared. I'm different from those guys." He showed his hands, indicating that I didn't take anything.
"You, don't come over here!" She pulled a pillow from the bed and threw it at me. After I subconsciously caught it, the second pillow followed.
"For now, let me just say - your partner?"
Of course, even during the period when I was a hero, I was never so crazy that I planned to attack innocent demons directly.
Although in many novels, games, and even the legends of this world, demons are evil existences, you can know certain things with just a little inquiry.
Apart from the differences in image and power, there is not much difference in social structure between demons and humans.
The demons still have unarmed and powerless civilians, as well as faith and powerful warriors.
It's just that because I'm standing in the enemy's position, my entire image has been demonized.
Let me reiterate again, it is impossible for me to attack the civilians of Luo... demon clan.
"You are no different from the people who killed my parents!"
That look called hatred gripped me tightly, forcing me to explain.
"I'm different from those guys. To be honest, I'm the Demon King's subordinate."
Her hand that was about to pull off the sheets stopped and she looked at me blankly.
"You should know that the Demon King's castle is a day's walk from here, right?" I rubbed the back of my head awkwardly and said to her, "So, I was sent by the Demon King to look after the door."
However, it is a pity that there is still something called "suspiciousness" and "distrust" in her eyes.
It's probably as ridiculous as a wolf jumping out and saying to the lamb, "I'm Pleasant Goat's subordinate, you don't have to be afraid of me anymore."
But at least she didn't throw anything at me.
This is a good start.
