The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

82 – The Wizard of Gale and Fury (11)

Hearing the former Demon King’s words, Ornette ruffled his hair in annoyance.

When Ornette didn’t respond in particular, the Sentai Demon King turned his attention to me.

“Are you the person called the office manager?”

“But.”

“Do you know that that wizard was desperately looking for you?”

“Be quiet!”

Ornette screamed at the Sentai Demon King.

“You shut up! You’re a fraud!”

“A fraud? It’s just that you don’t want to believe it, right? Which part I told you is a fraud?”

“I told you to be quiet!”

“Sometimes people want things without even knowing exactly what they want. Because even the best people can’t look into their own hearts objectively. So it’s not entirely unreasonable for you to call me a fraud.”＜ Br﹥

The Sentai Demon King slowly stood up with a wry smile.

“There are two desires in your heart, wizard. The desire to find the one who treated you kindly and the one who wanted you intensely. But since those are memories from before you were even aware of yourself, you only vaguely sense their presence and clearly feel it. You can’t know. I showed it clearly.”

Listening to the words of the previous Demon King, I felt like I could understand why the adventurers were captivated by the author and came to the Demon King’s Castle.

The way he spoke and his voice were so good that I unconsciously agreed that what he was saying was correct.

In addition, if you use mental abilities, I would completely skip it unless you have mental defense abilities like me.

“It’s a lie… It can’t be… “

Ornet covered her ears and spoke.

“I’m not lying, wizard. You’ve never told a lie while sending adventurers here?”

“What are you talking about? You lied, you.”

I intervened and pointed out that.

“Speaking of the five wizards who came here today. I heard that there is an old document in the basement here that contains a recipe for some strange substance, but the Demon King is saying that there is no such thing?”

“That’s because that stupid bastard didn’t check the underground archives properly. It’s definitely there. It’s in the second section of the B-192 bookshelf.”

When I looked back at the current Demon King at the overly specific remark, the Demon King burst into embarrassed laughter.

“Was there such a thing?”

“If you’re not going to run it properly, come back down!” Do you think this is some kind of backyard garden?”

When the Sentai Demon King growled, the Demon King just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

The former Demon King, who was glaring at the Demon King, looked at Ornette and said.

“Anyway, I understand after seeing it in person. If he’s such a handsome person, I’m sure…”

“Shut up!”

When Ornette became angry and cast a spell, a narrow defensive shield like a cage was created around the former Demon King, and the sound stopped.

The Sentai Demon King kept saying something, but I couldn’t hear him at all because he was blocked by the shield.

“Ha… I’m going crazy…”

Ornet curled up on his back and ruffled his hair with both hands, lamenting.”Ornette. I don’t understand anything about this situation. Please explain.”

He sat next to Ornette and said, putting his hand on Ornette’s her shoulder her her her, but Ornette did not say anything and just ruffled his hair for a while.

After a while, Ornette slowly opened his mouth.

“I promise. I won’t be angry.”

“I’m not angry. Why am I angry at you?”

Even after hearing my promise, Ornette continued to hesitate.

Ornette, who hesitated for a while, slowly began to tell what had happened.

* * * * *

Ornette, who decided to run away from home and left the guild, stood on the side of the road and thought.

He was ready to leave, but he didn’t know where to go.

For Ornette, the world outside the guild is an ambiguous world that exists only as knowledge.

Just as knowing the recipe doesn’t mean you can cook delicious food, knowing what a place is doesn’t mean you can settle down and live there right away.

But he couldn’t think about it for long.

If you mess around here and run into one of the guild members, you’ll be in trouble.

So Ornette decided to clarify the purpose of running away from home.

The purpose is the office manager’s regret.

The office manager doesn’t need me anymore.

Because that giant warrior is more helpful to the guild than me.

In that case, if you want to make the manager regret, either the guild will fail without me, or let him know that I was a better guild member than the giant warrior.

In the former case, I don’t want it, but the latter is better.

Ornette searched through the knowledge that already existed before she was born and selected candidates who would lead to the secretary’s regret.

Among them was the Demon King who was occupying the wasteland in the northern part of the empire.

The Demon King is one of the demons living on the continent, and he escapes from his clan alone, takes over an abandoned castle in the wasteland, and uses demons to wreak havoc on the northern region.

If he killed the demon lord, it was clear that the secretary would regret losing a great guild member and further beg Ornette to come back.

Okay, let’s go there.

Ornette opened a portal and moved to Quarantine City, adjacent to the wasteland.

There, I planned to check the latest trends regarding the Demon King and prepare the necessary items.

However, when Ornette actually went to the quarantine, she was very embarrassed.

It was a completely different world from Shlessi.

Unlike Shlessi, which was always sunny and clean, Quarantine City was gloomy and filled with an unknown odor.

The building was old and dirty, and people all walked past Ornette with gloomy expressions and their mouths closed.

Since the only place Ornette knew was Shlesi, the scenery of Quarantine City was truly shocking.

It was so foreign that the moment he woke up, he thought he had crossed into a completely different dimension.

“Don’t be stupid and block the road, get out of the way!”

Someone shouted and roughly pushed Ornette past.

Ornette, who stumbled and fell to the ground, quickly got up and retreated to the side of the road.

A carriage passed violently by where she had just been, splashing water from her puddle.

As soon as she left the guild, Ornette suffered a humiliation she had never suffered before in her life.

But now that I couldn’t go back, I gathered courage and started looking for a place where I could ask about the Demon King.

I wish there was a place like a guild here too.

However, there was no guild and no one was kind to the child walking around alone.

“Hey… I’m talking about the Demon King’s Castle…”

“Get out! Don’t even talk about that place!”

Ornette, who had already been rejected several times, completely lost her courage.

So, unable to do anything, I stood on the side of the road and looked around.

Since I was wandering around aimlessly, I don’t even know where I am, and I’m hungry and my legs hurt.

Ornette opened her bag and took out a loaf of bread she had stolen from the guild.

Perhaps because of the cold quarantine temperature, the bread was hard.

Ornette, who had only eaten warm and delicious food prepared by the guild leader all her life, seemed completely unable to eat hard bread.

However, Ornette was afraid that she might be kicked out of the door if she entered the wrong restaurant, so she forced herself to chew the bread.

“aah!!”

“aah!”

Suddenly, a large crow came down from the sky and snatched the bread from Ornette’s hand her.

A crow’s black feather fell on Ornette’s head as she sat down in shock.

“Huh…”

Ornette staggered to her feet, suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes.

I want to go back to the guild…

I’m the office manager, and I just want to shamelessly sit there…

Should I go back now…

Ornette was thinking about going back just a few hours after running away from home.

“You’re looking for something…”

At that time, someone spoke to Ornette.

When I turned around, I saw an old man looking at Ornette with a mysterious smile.

“Who are you?”

“Someone who can tell you where what you’re looking for is…”

Can you tell me what I’m looking for?

“Then maybe it’s the Demon King’s Castle…”

“A being who treated you kindly.”

“Yes… ?”

The old man who interrupted Ornette spoke with a low smile.

“A being that wanted you intensely. Aren’t you looking for those beings?”

Ornette was so shocked that she almost screamed.

How on earth does that old man know that?!

Of course, Ornette is now wandering around to get information about the Demon King’s Castle.

But that is just a means to make the manager regret.

Deep inside Ornette, there is a hidden desire for those beings that the old man spoke of.

Two beings who have already remained in Ornette’s memory since she opened her eyes.

A person who treated me kindly and a person who wanted me intensely.

When Ornette swallowed her saliva and looked up, the old man said.

“The Devil’s Castle.”

“Yes?”

“It’s in the Demon King’s Castle. The entity you’re looking for.”

“Demon King… Iyo… ?”

“Yes… We will meet each other when we go to the Demon King’s Castle. However, before that, we will have to defeat that evil Demon King first… “

Suspicious words from a suspicious old man I’ve never seen before.

But Ornette somehow thought that was true.

In fact, he believed that because of his mental abilities, but Ornette did not know that at the time.

Ornette immediately opened a portal to the Demon King’s Castle.

Pouring attack magic into the magnificent castle before her eyes, Ornette demanded that the Demon King appear immediately

If I kill the Demon King, I will be able to meet the person who treated me kindly and who desperately wanted me.

However, what appeared in front of Ornette was not the Demon King, but surprisingly, it was the office manager, Leonard.
