Chapter 12 – Vi-Vi…the Devil?
Translator: u?zu??
「What are you trying to do to me? Don’t think that you can take my body without having my heart first!」
I had no idea what the hell Vi-Vi was saying. She was flailing about as I yanked her in my house.
I just ignored her and looked at the hole in one corner of my ceiling.
「Damn…I can see right through…」
「W…where are you looking?! Were you looking at a place on my body that you shouldn’t!? Stop it!」
「Oh, shut up!」
「Eek! For a lowly human to mock a Sub-Boss like me! But…I won’t lose to a pervert like you!」
Vi-Vi sounded like she was making a desperate decision.
『She’s insane.』
「Yeah.」
It took a while for us to calm her down and work out the misunderstanding.
「…anyway, tomorrow, you’re going to fix this hole in my roof! Any other punishment will be decided on by the villagers.」
「…okay…」
Finally, NOW I can get to the issue at hand. I breathed in and,
「So, why did you feed that wild boar?」
「Heh heh, you should shake in fear after hearing my plan. After training and raising that boar, I was going to train with it so I could make a dragon gigantic like that as well. And while I was doing that I could use the boar as feed for the dragon. Two birds, one stone.」
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVi-Vi was blabbing on about her plan without concern. I was thinking I would have to threaten and cross-examine her, but her big mouth made that seem anti-climactic.
「S, so why are you raising a dragon? Building a magical army?」
「H…How did you know?!」
She seemed very surprised…and I had no idea why.
「What’s the spell for making something gigantic? That boar was massive! You can’t use a normal spell to make it that big, can you?」
「Heh heh. You seem to have a good eye for a lowly human. That was just…」
And as I thought, if you complement Vi-Vi she spews info like a faucet. I heard EVERYTHING.
「I see, so you drew a magic circle below the swamp so it would grow. I didn’t notice.」
「RIGHT?!」
Vi-Vi looked at me proudly. Honestly, since she placed it in the swamp, it was some excellent concealed magic that even I didn’t notice.
She may be a much better magician than I had imagined.
「Well, tomorrow we’ll go and destroy that magic circle. Then you can fix my roof.」
「Why must I do meaningless work like that?」
Vi-Vi said unhappily. However,
「Wooo woooo!」
Femm howled at her.
「O…okay then.」
Vi-Vi now understood why.
After that, I finally slept in my bed. Vi-Vi got a blanket and slept under the open part of the roof.
Femm, who usually slept in my bed, spent all night near Vi-Vi watching over her.
The next morning.
I explained everything that had happened and asked the villagers how I should deal with Vi-Vi.
「So there was a reason for the violent nature and huge size of that magic boar.」
「It makes a chill run up your spine to hear how far she was going to go with that plan.」
The villagers were clearly scared of her.
「Even so, to capture such a strong devil such as her…」
「We’re so glad that you came to help, Alfred.」
「Yeah, yeah, if you hadn’t come, there’s no doubt that sooner or later Mulg would have been destroyed.」
「We all owe our lives to you.」
They all thanked me over and over…again, embarrassing.
「No, no, it’s not a big deal.」
「IT IS A BIG DEAL!」
Millet said with shimmering eyes.
In the middle of all this, Vi-Vi was showing off in front of Collette and all the other kids.
「I AM ONE OF THE SUB BOSSES OF THE DEMON LORD’S ARMY, VI-VI!!」
「Wow, you’re such a strong girl!」
「So cool!」
「Awesome!」
And when Millet heard this, even she said,
「Wow, she really is a strong devil.」
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm「Seems that a low-life has acknowledged my great status.」
「Only Mister Al could catch a strong magician like her, he really is the strongest!」
She ignored the proud Vi-Vi and grabbed me by her the arm.
Somehow I could tell that her eyes were shining with respect for me.
「What is it?」
「Did you get injured fighting this little devil? Are you okay?」
「I’m fine. Vi-Vi’s the one calling herself a Sub-Boss, after all.」
「I see. But still, it’s really something! Thanks for protecting the village!」
「It’s no big deal.」
The tips of Millet’s elf ears turned red.
I guess I was happy for all the thanks from her.
When we left the village, the chief said, smiling,
「Millet! You can go and observe what happens.」
「Yes sir!」
Then Millet approached us with a smile,
「I may be a little ignorant about magic, but I’ll be accompanying you!」
If the chief had picked her to report to him, then I couldn’t turn him down.
「S…sure. It may be a little dangerous, but if something happens, don’t worry…I’ll protect you.」
Millet’s cheeks turned red.
Collette shouted after us,
「Do your best, sthisterrr!」
「Millet! Come back soon!」
The villagers were cheering her on as well.
I thought it was a bit too much of a send off for a job as simple as this. Anyhow, we made our way to the swamp of the magic boar.
