The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

249 – 239.The Demonic Sword of the Beginning-4

The town square that was destroyed by the demonic sword.

As all the survivors left, Prach was lying flat on his face in this place where only corpses and the remains of collapsed buildings remained.

It was an apologetic attitude toward me as I was sitting at the fountain.

“Sorry!”

“Huh? What are you sorry about?”

“Even though I was insane, I sincerely apologize for deceiving you and unilaterally breaking the contract!”

“Wasn’t there a better excuse?”

“It is true that I am insane! During the return to the origin, his mental state was not perfect due to the doctors of the demonic swords he had absorbed so far. Perhaps because it absorbed a demonic sword that had a hostile intention towards humans, it must have unknowingly rebelled against the contractor.”

“Now?”

“Currently, this body is in a state of suppressing the will of all demonic swords. Other personalities will not appear, and I can promise that I will live as a Prach only for the contractor.”

“Really? But why are you calling me a contractor? There is no contract between us.”

“Ugh… !”

Sweat began to run down Prach’s cheeks at the extremely cold tone.

Her pupils, which were trembling violently, were unable to focus on her.

She watched Prach’s confused appearance and smiled.

But my smile seemed to put a lot of pressure on Prach, so she lowered her head.

“Would you like to renew the contract with this body?”

“Renewal of the contract?”

“Of course, I am not saying these things out of my mouth. I will not raise any objection even if you take terms that are much more favorable than the previous contract.”

“Even if you sign a contract again, isn’t it something you might tear up the contract later?”

“There is a way that is very good for this body.”

Frach explained the ways in which the contract could not be breached in her calm voice.

If there is no mutual consent, you cannot take out the contract, if you touch the contract, you will lose consciousness, if you tear the contract, you will be enslaved for life, and so on.

Plausible plans were lined up one after another.

“If you choose one of the methods this body said, you will be able to prevent something like this from happening.”

“Not too bad.”

“Then… !”

“But aren’t you a traitor?”

Prach’s expression, which was smiling brightly with hope for her, froze.

It seems that my last words became the decisive blow.

After that, she tried to put things in her mouth like ‘Should I follow the traitor?’ Or ‘Aren’t all the proposals you said hidden flaws?’

But she couldn’t say those words to Frach, who had already been knocked down.

‘Because I knew he didn’t really betray me.’

She would have tried to kill me, not to say that if she was going to betray me, she would have mercy.

Moreover, he must have refused my hand to lead me to the inn after showing off my pride.

However, seeing that he conformed to me and even gave up his body, it can be interpreted as meaning that Prach’s personality was accepting me even in the midst of chaos.

In the beginning, Prach himself explained that he was not sure if he would be able to maintain his current personality once he became the original demonic sword.

‘I know there is nothing wrong. But… ….’

I really enjoyed teasing Prach.

As if joining my heart like this, Solis leaned on me while polymorphing.

“Husband, in the future…. Recommend using me… !”

“What are you talking about! The contractor’s sword is only this body!”

“The traitor… Retort?”

“Profit! Even if I get abandoned, I will absorb and throw you away!”

“Kyaa.”

Solis, who runs away screaming for her soullessness, and her Prach, who chases after her.

Still, it seems that Prach has definitely become stronger enough for Solis, who has always been rebellious, to run away.

Leaving behind the two bickering, I approached Rene and Rin, who were staring at me curiously.

“Are you surprised?”

“It is not… If I said it, it would be a lie. Yes, I was very surprised. It is the first time I have seen swords that transform into humans and think and move on their own.”

“Is that so? I thought the polymorph ability was quite famous.”

“It’s an ability that all dragons use, but it’s close to a miracle for a different race to turn into a human. Marjan, the queen ant, also ate the legendary Orichalcum and took on a human-like appearance, but it couldn’t be said to be exactly the same as a human, right?”

“I hear and see that it is.”

Since everyone did polymorph, there was a tendency to see it too easily.

Even Chaos wants to temporarily become a human and rolls around in the meadow every night when the full moon rises.

Even if he had the impure purpose of wanting to win my favor, his efforts were evaluated hypothetically.

“I had expected that Master would be able to transform into a human because he used to collect demonic swords. I didn’t expect them to carry two swords with just outstanding abilities.”

“Ahahahaha, one is the magic sword I’ve been raising so far, and the other is the magic sword made by the owner of the magic tower.”

“Magic tower lord… Certainly, with his skills, he could have created a sword like that.”

“It’s highly rated.”

“It was because he had a poor personality, but he was somehow outstanding in his ability. Of course, compared to Eunsa-nim, I think he is nothing more than a new blood.”

I nodded in agreement with Lin’s objective evaluation.

Even though he’s a goddamn bastard, he made various artifacts and magic tools with countless talented people as the representative of the tower.

In terms of leadership ability, production ability, and groundbreaking imagination, I could learn a few things from him.

“You don’t have to praise me that much. That part was proven by killing him with my own hands.”

“Sorry.”

“I didn’t mean to apologize… ….”

“Can you communicate with them?”

“Of course. First of all, to introduce briefly, the demonic sword that is being pursued now is Solis. And the one chasing is Prah.”

I explained to Rin and Renee, pointing at each one.

Simply giving only the name and identity, he added that the details of the story should be heard directly from the mouth of the person concerned.

It was because I thought that if I explained everything with my own mouth, we might not have a chance to get to know each other.

“Then what about the tentacles then?”

“That is… ….”

Clap clap-!

I clapped my hands twice, and a black dog and a purple slime appeared from my shadow.

Chaos shows spectacular somersaults and perfect landings.

On the other hand, Lili was slowly creeping out.

Has the explosion not yet recovered?

“Everyone has seen this puppy before. Because it appeared suddenly when encountering the ultimate weapon.”

“Yes, I knew of its existence from the time I wandered the North.”

“Ah, come to think of it, I’ve met Rin before.”

“Yes. There are assassins targeting the teacher in the snowfields, and she had her first encounter while dealing with them.”

“Assassin? That story in more detail.”

“It’s not a very pleasant story. At that time, they fought each other as menacing enemies. That’s all.”

“Ah, that’s it.”

The story of the assassin was the first time.

It was the first time I had heard that an assassin had come to visit me during my travels in the North.

Still, I think it’s fortunate that the first meeting seemed to have ended well.

“It was always a pity that I couldn’t choose between the sexes at that time, but I am glad to see her again.”

“Arr!”

Lynn casually placed her hand on her scabbard, her teeth menacingly baring her chaos.

I thought it was all over then, but it seems it wasn’t.

But I had no reason to stop the two from fighting.

How can I stop those who want to cover up a single person’s male and female?

I decided to intercede so that the fight would not escalate too much.

“Nice to meet you, dragon lady. I’m Shawgers. I was given the wonderful name of Lili by my master.”

“Master, do you mean Vern-sama?”

“That’s right.”

Lily, who was swaying, suddenly turned into her usual maid slime and was responding to Rene.

Lili was fundamentally polite, so she didn’t cause much friction.

However, even when her tentacles were pointed at Rin and Renee, she was not at all strange, so she was a little uneasy.

I want you to stay close without friction.

“Contractor!”

“Huh? What is it, is the tag game over already?”

“My Victory… !”

“This body has not yet given up!”

Solis rejoiced as she raised the V for Victory with both hands.

She yelled at her, but then she turned her head back to me.

“I called because there was a story that I had to tell the contractor who had not given up on absorbing Solis.”

“What is it?”

“As this body became the primordial demonic sword, the memories that existed before the separation came to mind.”

“By the way?”

“Don’t be surprised when you hear it.”

“I won’t be surprised. Don’t be shy and tell me.”

I thought he was joking, but there was no mischief in Prach’s eyes.

I mean it’s a really important story.

“I saw this body at the time when the demon king’s army was disintegrating after the first demon king was subjugated by the hero. No, I had to see it.”

“What the hell did you see?”

“She has a different appearance, but she has the same soul as you!”

It was then.

Click-!

The pocket watch, which I thought was broken and kept in my pocket, started moving again.
