100 Episode 98: Hell In The World!
He was walking in the castle guided by the Marquis of Hell, a true ancestral vampire.
To take a look around the hell he created.
In the meantime, I was thinking of finding an egg with a thousand eyes.
The Marquis of Hell rocks his cloak and leads the way.
The four of us followed each other.
Celica says worryingly.
"Where the hell are they taking us?
"I guess you're going to make me tremble with such a terrible sight"
Torture or forced labour?
The Marquis of Hell looks back.
"That's right! Shivering at the grater! Huhaha!"
I laughed high as I flipped my cape.
In the meantime, while walking down the hallway, I cast my magic so that the Marquis of Hell wouldn't notice me.
Immediate Death Invalid Magic.
The Marquis of Hell has two instant death attacks, so he put them on Celica, Megna and Lapisia.
I was fine because [Fairy Protection] has instant death nullity.
If you have time later, let's grant their ornaments the effect of instant death nullity.
Through the long passage, it was outside the descent of a warm day.
The castle stood trying to stick to the cliffs of the hill, but this was where it had shredded the inside of the hill.
Feels like Caldera Volcano. The perimeter of the hill was a natural barrier.
It was very spacious. I thought there would be a radius of one kilometer.
People mowed in the fields, and elsewhere livestock was kept. There are several large buildings standing.
The Marquis of Hell looked back with a wicked grin.
"What do you say, it'll be horrible!
"... it's a hiding place. Or is it okay to get sunlight even though you're a vampire"
"I'm a true ancestor. I don't have any weaknesses. How about that? Know that the tools and maneuvers you have prepared are useless and desperate. Huh."
The laughing Marquis of Hell was full of gaps. I thought a bit that arrogant attitude might be my biggest weakness.
Then I saw people working in the fields, milking cows, mowing sheep's hair, making cheese, etc. Humans, beasts, and demons worked.
Doesn't look like you're being made to labor so harshly.
I told the Marquis of Hell I heard your thoughts.
"That's normal. It doesn't look like a harsh environment."
"Kuck. The horror of my life is not visible. This is the real hell!
I rang my cape badly and spread my hands.
I lean my neck.
"You don't whip or torture or anything more?
"Hmm. What would it be to do that? I thought to myself. I was wondering if I could kill him right away."
"Hmm?"
"My life can kill people easily. It causes him to die instantly like a fruit. But I was wondering if that would have really given me fear. Instead, I thought you were just leading us from this hard world to a peaceful post-mortem world."
The Marquis of Hell said as he looked at his own hands.
"I see. Death may be salvation in a way."
"Yes! You're right, brave man! So my generation thought it might be the scariest thing to twitch like strangle yourself with a cotton strangle, tied to this world."
"Well, I don't even know. It's kind of pastoral."
"Sweet, brave man! I don't know by the looks of it, the horrors here! First of all, this field works 14 hours a day, but it's eight hours to work! - I mean, two shifts!
"Ho."
"Plus put in two days off a week. This will take away the fatigue of the flesh and prevent us from getting out of this living hell!
"Are you shifting?"
"That's not all. Every month, I try to fall from hope to despair."
"What do you mean?
"I'm paying my salary! - But subtract one gold after another from seemingly large salaries. You'll be small and stunned when you get it on hand!
"Is it rent or food you deduct?
"Sweet! More! - Look at that!
Ahead of where the Marquis of Hell pointed, there was the figure of a beast man carried on a stretcher.
He was our knocked down deer and elephant gatekeeper.
Carried inside the building.
"Where is it?
"Hospital! You can't get out of this hell with a sweet death of injury, sickness, etc! Moreover, injuries at work are paid from the money set aside. I'll spend my buddies' money, buy a grudge. What do you say? Horrible!"
"You have an accident insurance team! Oh, yeah."
"Hmm, apparently you're getting a little bit of a grace on my life."
I giggled as I glowed my dog's teeth.
One goblin came and sat down as he tried to pass the timber processing plant.
"Marquis! Sorry!
"What's up?
"My wife is pregnant! The scheduled date is in three months!
"What? No! You are prohibited from working for two months before or after the birth date. At the worst time of the year, the couple will be paid half the price and suffer! Ha-ha-ha."
"Yes, it's very scary, Marquis!
Goblin smiled in tears.
I was scared.
"Isn't that just maternity leave! And pay half price...... ugh! Absolute."
"You will, you will! Everyone here is kept alive by fear!
I even came to the hospital building where the Beast Man was brought in earlier.
A large building on two floors.
Then people and beasts were queuing from the entrance.
Celica tilts her neck.
"Um, Marquis. What's that matrix? I don't think they're all injured or ill."
"Come on, you're taking my blood! It feeds my life and the demons!
I nodded in arms.
"I mean, they actually kept them as livestock, too. You're finally starting to look like hell."
Huh, and the Marquis of Hell laughs with his nose.
"You think that's all? We're not just gonna rotate and drain blood once a year, are we? Analyze the blood you took to find out any body anomalies or illnesses! Whatever you find will be admitted to the hospital immediately, and you will never be given the euthanasia of death! What do you say, come on!
"That's just an annual medical exam! That's all you're doing!
"Hehe, are you scared?
"This is... this is so awesome."
As a result of the aim of living long enough to maximize the suffering of this world, he was creating excellent treatment for all white companies.
It operates better than Kaika Village. A little regrettable.
Afterwards, blacksmiths and glass workshops. I haven't worked as a potter for a painter.
I saw the orchestra practice playing the instrument again.
Selica says.
"And you have a lot of work to do. I can't believe there's even glass artists and orchestras."
"Kuku. I thought about it, too. I was wondering what I could do best to take away all of that human being!
"Ho."
"It doesn't make sense to let them all work in the fields as slaves. Everyone can do it if they get used to it. I realized it was only by letting him do the work that he was born with that he would give the most despair to that human being! Humans fade. How much despair to taste when you're old and your talents are exhausted! That would be awesome!
"Oh, dear... is there even freedom of choice of profession? And naturally, you're looking into talent, aren't you?
"Naturally! They also build vocational training centers."
"What..."
Sure, if you do a job that draws on your talents, your joy is doubled, but your despair when you can no longer do it will also be deep again.
But everyone who works has their eyes shining. I work with joy that I can do the job I want to do.
Then I look around further in hell.
People were gathered in front of buildings like apartments inhabited by residents. There are old people at the center.
"Good luck." "You've had a hard time." "Go home and get some rest."
I said.
"That sounds like a farewell party. Do you want me to retire when I'm old?"
The Marquis of Hell laughs with his chest stretched.
"Huh, you give me the money of a sparrow's tears on top of making me work like a slave for years and throw it out and let me get lost on the street! Live the rest of your life!
"You're even giving me retirement money! How dare you...!
Then the inhabitants came and knelt before the Marquis of Hell.
Says the retired old man.
"Marquis!
"Yeah? What?
"We had horrible days, and it was hell days!
"Ha ha! This is hell in the world, isn't it? Isn't that right?
"" "Yes! Very funny!!
The inhabitants said in solidarity. Everyone had a lively smile.
I was stunned to see the sight.
- Shit.
This guy is so admired.
Or, naturally, because it's so high that I don't even see it in Japan first?
If I kill the Marquis of Hell, I will be absolutely resented.
Besides, from what I just heard, there's about 4,000 of them.
If you buy 4,000 unhappy people and they tell you something that never happens, it's over.
Then they might sprinkle bad reviews as the bad guys who killed the irresistible Marquis.
Even if I told five other villages per inhabitant, that's 20,000.
Rumors come with tails, and what the hell will happen by the time it spreads across the country.
Conclusion, I can't kill this guy.
Vernus the Demon King must have come to the same idea.
Because Vernus also needs believers.
I'm not putting it at a glance because I'm strong, I couldn't get my hands on it because it had the potential to drastically reduce my followers!
One of the residents saw us.
"Marquis, who's there?
"He says he's a brave man."
"" "Yes!
When the residents stood up, they pushed around me.
"Brave man, please! This is a terrible place!
"It's okay about us, so please run away, brave man!
"The Marquis is a terrible man! Run now!
They're all desperate to ask for it.
They don't want to lose this environment.
Is that true? Occupational accident insurance, maternity leave, medical examinations and retirement benefits on a shift basis. Besides, a job that was in my abilities.
There's just no bonus, but when the vegetables and pieces you make sell high, they get bounty.
I don't know anything else in this world.
Only the Hell Marquis laughs softly watching how it goes.
"Kuhaha! Good, cry out! It's good to get to hope!
- You think this guy created the hell out of the bottom of his heart.
It's paradise, no matter what you think. Thank you so much.
I hold the residents back.
"Ok, ok. Consider in the direction of escape"
"" "Thank you, brave man!
People who rejoice in tears.
Nevertheless, the eggs must be recovered.
If we can't defeat him, we'll have to negotiate.
But if you give the eggs that the Demon King's army asked you to, the Marquis or this lair could be attacked.
The Marquis said he was thinking.
"What do you say? You'd have broken my heart for so much horror, wouldn't you? Come on, leave the world with a blow. - Follow me!
Marquis walks out as he spreads his cloak.
They fight.
If you get hurt, you will die of sucking blood. I'm fine, but Celica and Mea are in danger.
It's not good if you knock it down. Bad reviews are scattered.
Do you seal the mouth of all residents to prevent it?
But if I did such a humanitarian act, I would become an evil god or a disaster god.
I said on its back as I followed the Marquis.
"Marquis. You're thirsty. Why don't we talk over a drink?
"Mm-hmm. You want a drink before the fight? - No, it's the last supper. Fine, thank you for my mercy, but good. Come to the reception room."
I keep thinking about how to get an egg.
Celica walking beside me was worried about putting her hand on my arm. It seems that thinking is the same. Wouldn't it be a bad idea if I knocked him out?
I nod back in silence, staring into her blue eyes.
Only supple fingertips were gentle and warm.
