Chapter 263: Are You Serious?
Chapter 263: Are You Serious?
On this particular matter, Shien indeed has no conflict with the demons to speak of.
While there are still unanswered questions, this seventh Demon Lord is definitely the possible new Demon King that Nien had spoken of.
In that case, as the summoned Hero, Shien has all the reason he needs to treat it as his enemy.
Since the demons also considers it their enemy, what reason could Shien have to oppose them?
That’s why Shien said that he’s on their side on this matter. It was the truth.
However, it’s a different question altogether whether or not Jacinta is willing to believe him.
“As someone by Princess Lucilosti, he shouldn’t be tangled up with the Old Demon Faction.” Jacinta said so with a meaningful tilt, “That’s what I hope anyways.”
The meaning behind those words don’t really need to be explained.
Shien doesn’t care to bother trying to explain further either.
“Anyways, I don’t plan on getting in your way. If possible, I’d even like to lend a hand.” Shien spoke without much attachment, “Unfortunately though, I have something more important to do, so I don’t have much time to waste here.”
In other words, Shien is signaling that he won’t be moving with Jacinta’s group.
Although Jacinta did find it a bit unexpected, he didn’t say anything about it.
He never counted on Shien’s help in the first place.
Rather, Jacinta actually finds the fact that Shien won’t be staying around more assuring. That way, he won’t need to worry about Shien doing something that might get in his way.
The problem with that though…
“In that case… What do you plan on doing? Lady Airi?”
Jacinta asked Airi cautiously.
“Me?”
Airi frowned.
If possible, she would of course want to find the Demon Lord Spawn.
Compared to that, Airi cares far less about Vivian and her group.
However…
“I won’t be able to find Vivian and them at all without you. Do as you like.”
Shien rolled his eyes at Airi and his tone was completely lacking in respect, making Jacinta and his group react imperceptibly.
However, what really make Jacinta and the twins shocked is that Airi didn’t get mad at that at all. She just looked dissatisfied and resigned.
“That’s how it is. I’ll be going with him.”
Thus, Airi calmly told Jacinta that.
This unquestionably made Jacinta notch Shien up a few more levels in importance.
Really… Just what did that human do to his master…?
Why is it that his normally uninterested master would act so accommodating to that person?
Also, given how accommodating Master is to that human, how will that end up affecting the demon race and demon world?
Jacinta was worried. Worried on whether or not Shien take advantage of his master and use her to do something disadvantageous to the demon race and demon world.
(Should I report this matter to Lady Sarah?)
Jacinta hesitated.
At that moment, Shien spoke up again.
“That’s how it is then. We’ll probably be leaving now, so we won’t be helping you guys find the Demon Lord Spawn.” Shien said, “So let’s split up.”
That’s right, they’re splitting up.
“We’ll leave the issue of the Demon Lord Spawn for you to deal with. Any issues with that?” Shien gave the timid looking twins standing behind Jacinta a glance before continuing, “Airi and I will first deal with our personal issues. At the same time, we’ll also deal with the masterminds behind this incident.”
The masterminds behind this incident are unquestionably the Garibaldi family.
However, Shien doesn’t believe that all of them have been buried under his [Auroras Meteoric].
Since Farbin had chosen to seal off this canyon using the National Knight Order, this proves that the ritual in the canyon are currently being enacted by other people.
Add in the fact that Vivian and her party are still inside the canyon and are on the run, Shien has reasons to believe that there are still parties related to the Garibaldi family currently enacting the ritual.
Perhaps Vivian’s party is being pursued by said parties.
Otherwise, there’s no way that they would have run all the way into the deepest area of the canyon. Nor will they have failed to escape the canyon and stayed trapped even now.
“Is that so?” Jacinta thought it over some before nodding, “In that case then, I’ll let Sir deal with the matter of the humans here.”
“Sure.” Shien readily agreed. But then he looked between Jacinta and Airi before speaking with a strange look, “Should I vacate myself for a bit and leave the two of you alone to talk?”
In response to that, Airi shook her head before Jacinta even had a chance to reply.
“No need. Since everyone’s decided on the plan already, there’s no point in changing anything.” Airi answered as she looked toward Jacinta and then spoke with an emotionless tone, “Since you’ve come here, I’ll leave you to deal with the matter of the Demon Lord Spawn.”
“Yes.” Jacinta replied deferentially, “I won’t disappoint, ma- my lady.”
“Hn.” Airi nodded uncaringly.
Thus, Shien left with Airi in tow.
Jacinta kept his gaze on them as the two of them left, not pulling back for some time.
Jace and Liece finally started breathing again. They exchanged a look, where both of them saw the worries in each others eyes.
Just then, neither of them dared to so much as speak a word.
Since they knew Airi’s identity, it’s extremely intimidating to meet her face to face like this.
Only…
“Master…”
“That human…”
Jace and Liece both spoke up worriedly.
“I know.”
Jacinta naturally know what the twins were thinking.
Probably anyone who saw Airi act so unguarded toward a human that was so unknown would find it unthinkable and panic inducing.
It’s because this means that they have to treat that human with the upmost seriousness, and that they won’t be able to take a casual attitude toward that human anymore.
Otherwise, if Airi really do consider Shien important to her and wished pursue any grievances of his, then there are very few people who can possibly resist.
For one of the top of the demon race to be so close to a human. This will indeed cause many issues that makes one worried.
However, Jacinta can’t really say anything about that either.
After all, the other party is Jacinta’s master, the person who he owes his absolute loyalty to.
In that case, Jacinta completely lacks the ability to say anything about that.
“It looks like there really is the need to let Lady Sarah know.” Jacinta so decided.
At this point, Shien was still ignorant about the fact that due to this matter, he’ll soon end up meeting the true current top of the demon race.
Right now, Shien was still fooling about with Airi.
“Are you done hugging me yet?”
“What do you think?”
“They’re already gone, but you still want to keep hugging?”
“It’s exactly because there aren’t anymore people that I should take the chance to do this and that, right?”
“…”
“…”
“… Are you serious?”
“… Sorry, I was just joking around. Please don’t direct killing intent at me.”
As he thought, if he really did want to conquer this loli, he’s going to have to take his time.
Otherwise, Shien felt like he may very well end up immediately going into a second reincarnation.
