Butcher Demon

Chapter 180

“And you are too reckless, What were you going to do if I didn’t arrive here? You can’t even get out of here by yourself anymore.”

“Yes …… but I was sure that Gevaudan will find me ……. Besides–“

Then, with a suggestive smile, Abigail said.

“I’ve recently gained myself some ally, too.”

“wow, awesome.”

Who’s this crazy guy? I wonder if he’s in love with Abigail.

“All thanks to Gevaudan.”

??

“Why?”

Seeing my confused look, she tried to hold back her giggle.

Hah … then the Butcher sighed.

“Now I know the situation. But if you came here to check something about me, you’ve already had enough. I am indeed a former sniper who was known as the Golden Grim Reaper at Fox. If you say I am Nigel, then I am Nigel. Honestly, I don’t care about who I was or what I was anymore. I don’t even want to be human again. I came here to help you out. Now, let’s get out of here.”

Abigail did not answer, but dropped her gaze to her hand and asked, “What are we going to do after this?”

“First, I’ll introduce you to Titania. I need you to translate it for me. We are really in trouble understanding each other.”

“What about Lydia?”

“She is under house arrest in Feymbaum …… Oh, yes. I had to take you to see Lydia as well.”

“see Lydia?”

“Oh, yeah–“

I explained to her about my promise to Lydia, Ferris, Arshella, and Tiriel.

“And this is why Lydia’s first request is to bring you to her alive. I have not been told why.”

“……”

Abigail put her hand over her mouth and pondered.

I continue. I have a lot to talk about.

” There are two more wishes left, but I can’t go to Faymbaum anymore. I don’t think they’ll let me in. Oh, and there’s also the problem with the Titans, they apparently can’t move during the winter, so …… “

I held my head in my hands.

“–See, I’m second-guessing even on something as important as this. I don’t even know how the Titans operate, and I have no idea what to do when the alien strike force is coming. I need your help.”

“That’s fine, but…”

“Oh yeah, and I also need you to take care of Natsuki and the others.”

“You want Natsuki to go too ……?”

I took a deep breath.

I was prepared and finally explained about buying Natsuki.

I asked her to help me with “various” activities in the Fort. In return, I promised to give them a more middle-class, if not upper-class, life.

I have no idea how to provide them that life. Please help me. I raise my hands in surrender.

“And so, Abigail. Please take care of Natsuki and Yakumo.”

“……”

Abigail crosses her arms, closes her eyes, and looks up at the ceiling with a grimace.

–Oh, she looks so angry. scary.

“That’s great……”

Her face does not come down. Staring at the ceiling the whole time.

I’ve never seen Abigail in such a state. Even when she was analyzing our equipment in the cave, she didn’t look this troubled. It seems to be a very difficult task. Even if Abigail were to take them in now, what kind of relationship would they have if you brought them in so suddenly? How do you explain it to others? I’m sure that’s what she’s thinking.

I, on the other hand, feel better now that I’ve talked to her about the problems I can’t handle.

I knew it was not good to keep things to myself. My thoughts are spinning out of control. Abigail is my savior, my Buddha, my Abigail. I love her.

“Aren’t you being a little too selfish? I’m not a witch or anything.”

She looked at me accusingly.

I quickly cut her off.

“Abigail is a witch.”

She quizzically asked, “What do you mean by that?” I replied.

“If I am the golden grim reaper, you are the golden witch.”

“……”

“I want you to guide me, a stupid me, with your wisdom that is worthy of being called a witch.”

Having made up my mind to use such a fancy phrase, I was at a loss in front of Abigail, who had burst into tears again.

–What wrong with her?

I guess she’s really emotionally driven.

Well, she had zero allies while AASPINT was trying to kill her. It must have been two months that she got through all by herself. Abigail, I’m sorry I put you through such a difficult time. But I genuinely thrill to see a strong woman like you in such a vulnerable position. I want to comfort you. All night long. I wonder if you are going to stay over tonight, I’m so excited.

Sniffling, she looked at me.

“–Then I can’t just leave the Fort. I have other unfinished business with Natsuki and the others. I also need to know where to shelter a large number of insects, and other information that I will need in the future. How do we finally settle down? I also have to figure out how to make you human again.”

” I don’t want to go back to being human. I’m already a sinner on a level that makes all the criminals in the world seem like a tiny spec of dust in space. I’m a cannibal, a rapist, a serial killer, and a traitor to humanity. Nigel’s name will remain as the number one criminal in human history.”

“No. You are still a wonderful human being on the inside. You are not a monster like that. You didn’t belong in that body.”

“……”

–Abigail apparently really wants to see me as a noble being

I think I’d better refrain from talking about myself in such a self-deprecating way. I don’t want to get into another fight with her. I’ll just go along with it for now. Oh, this is so bothersome.

While we were silently staring at each other across the table, Natsuki stood up from the sofa on the other side of the room.

“You know, I don’t like the way you talk about Jebotan like you’re judging him.”

I involuntarily raised my brow.

–This one here also has a weird look about me …….

“Earlier, you were verbally abusing Jebotan for something he didn’t want to say and trying to force him to do something he said he didn’t want to do. Isn’t that a little too selfish, Abigail-san?”

“You and Gevaudan seem to be getting along pretty well.”

Abigail takes it with ease. She leans back into her chair, making a creaking, provocative sound.

“I’m Jebotan’s girlfriend. And We are a lovey-dovey couple.”

Natsuki said and squeezed my arm.

That was amazing. She’s a pro.

Our main goal is Abigail, so she doesn’t need to flirt with me anymore, but she continues to play lover. I like it.

Then Abigail sharply cut in.

“Did you do it with Natsuki-chan?”

Grrrrrrrr

“No–“

Upon hearing it, I panicked and tried to deny it in panic.

Abigail interrupts me bluntly.

“I can smell it.”

“Smell ……”

“In the room,” Abigail said. “there’s a lingering scent in this room.”

The smell……is it that clear?

It is kind of embarrassing …….

We have grown our relationship mainly on the bed, but lately, we’ve been doing it all over the place. The smell, sure, it’s possible. We’ve had quite a bit of spill. It’s the kind of thing that one gets used to and doesn’t notice.

Natsuki blushed a little and fidgeted.

“Perhaps it’s just a home fragrance..”

I make a light joke.

Abigail’s chest puffed out.

“–Hmmm, so what did you expect me to say, that’s a nice scent?”

Her eyes are icy cold.

Feeling the cold, Natsuki and I are now standing side by side in fear.
