It's Sudden, but I Came to Another World! But I Hope to Live Safely Chapter 98

Published at 26th of April 2023 05:41:18 AM

How would you describe a world without any color?

Is it a white scene like a blank canvas, or is it a black darkness where nothing can be seen?

The correct answer is neither, because if you describe it with color, it becomes a world of that color.

But how should we describe something that is not any color?

It's easy: just put something there.

If there is one thing that has a color, a color is created there, and if the world has no color, it does not interfere with that color.

In other words, the world will continue to reflect the same color as the object.

Right now in this world is a brown cowhide sofa, and the moment you observe this sofa, the world is filled with brown.

Next to it is a white table, and the moment you observe the table, the world becomes white.

The moment you observe an object, the colorless world changes to the color of that object.

But then, how would the observer look? Since the object is the same color as the world, the observer would blend into the world.

If you do so, you will not be able to observe things.

A colorless world is a humble world that is tinted with other colors, and an arrogant world that hides the existence of things.

In such a world, where colors are constantly changing, a sane mind would have trouble recognizing colors.

And yet, in this colorless world, there are daily necessities of various colors.

On the contrary, it is equipped with facilities such as a shower room where it is unclear where the water comes from, and a toilet where it is unclear where the water flows to.

From the shower room, a man with half-naked upper body emerges.

He has dark hair, dark eyes, slightly dark skin, and his body is covered with lean muscles.

A man who lives in a colorless world, he used to have a name, but since there is no one to call him, he calls himself by his current title.

The "Colorless Demon King", a man who lived in the same time as Seiya Yukura, who created the Demon King in this world.

He is a former human who turned himself into a demon who can be called the family of Seiya Yukura, who became the Demon King.

He spends his daily life without incident in a world of crazy colors.

I feel refreshed...

Every time he looks at the world, it flickers and changes its colors.

And yet, he adapts to it as if it were natural.

He recognizes the green mug and the world turns green.

But he grabs the invisible mug effortlessly and drinks the coffee in it.

The moment your gaze falls on the black coffee, the world turns black.

The world turns black the moment your gaze falls on the black coffee, "Geez, I thought I was supposed to put milk in it.

The world turns silver as you look into the silver milk container, grab it and pour the milk into the coffee.

As you look at the coffee, the black world comes to you, and as the milk mixes with the coffee, the world turns brown.

But I don't want to drink it unless it's sweet. ......　

I sit down deeply on the sofa, and at this moment, the table, mug, and milk container that have been by my side disappear.

In this moment, the table, mug, and milk dispenser that had been by his side disappear, and the world is set up as if they were never there.

When he came out of the shower room, there was no coffee mug on the table, and there was no milk container until he drank the coffee from the mug.

The shower room and toilet had disappeared.

Now this world is the brown of the couch he is observing, and outwardly he appears to be sitting in a brown world with nothing in it.

So, how are the Earthlings doing?

The colorless Demon Lord snaps his fingers, and the colorless world suddenly switches to the inside of an old movie theater.

He has a large wooden bucket in his hand, filled with popcorn.

There is only one person in the movie theater, but as if someone is working, the lights in the room dim and the movie begins to play.

On the screen is a view of the land of Taze, the home of the Purple Demon Lord.

The Earthling and her servant Duvraeori are just having a conversation.

However, due to the fact that it was filmed from a height of about five meters above the ground, you can't hear their voices very well.

"Get a little closer, I can't hear you!　

The image changes in response to the colorless demon lord's insults.

As if zooming in, he moved closer to both of them, and the sound became clearly audible.

I've come to settle this. Tell them I'm ready for one last fight.

"Hmm, you've made up your mind. "So you've made up your mind. This subhuman is strong.

He popped a piece of popcorn into his mouth, munched on it, and talked to himself.

The floor is already littered with food scraps, but no one points this out.

"This is delicious, do people on Earth eat this kind of food on a daily basis?

The colorless Demon Lord is looking at an earthling man.

He is a man standing between two worlds who has not even been able to create an organ to generate magic power.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

The Colorless Demon Lord's assessment of the people of Earth is generally low.

This is an inevitable result when compared to the Demon Lord's specifications.

He is a selfish bastard who can't prepare himself without the stimulation of others, and his sense of conversation is -- this is very good. Even though they are pulled together by the causality of summoned people and things, they don't look alike. It's just the color of their hair and eyes.

He flipped through the document in his hand as if it had been in his hands from the start, a document written not on parchment but on A4 copy paper.

The document contained information about the Earthman, including a detailed description of how he had lived on Earth.

The paper is made of good material, evenly sized, and easy to read. Hmmm... I see.　Even if they don't look alike on the outside, their circumstances and actions are similar. You're doing a good job, aren't you, Inka?

He reached for the popcorn again, and the bucket that had disappeared when he was holding the materials returned to its original state, and the materials no longer existed as if they had never existed in the first place.

If someone else were to see this scene, they would think that it was a sequence of different scenes.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.　It's a good idea to take a look at the web site and see if you can find anything you like.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure how much I like it. But then again, the black sister has no luck either, even if she becomes the Demon King, that hasn't changed. I'm sure you'll be happy with the results.

The colorless Demon Lord closes his eyes and thinks about the past, looking at the scene in front of him and remembering the past.

Then he muttered someone else's words, not his own.

--Wail, wail, wail, the despair etched in my soul, the fury of our demise must roar in this ugly world.

You really love the world, don't you, sister?

------------------------------------

So, you've come to settle the score this late at night?

Duvraeori let me into the mansion and I met the Purple Demon King in the parlor.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I'm talking about.

You remember the rules of this game, don't you?

Yes, I win if I can get you without using the power of Entanglement, and I lose if I try to rely on the power of Entanglement, right?

Yes, and your forces, the Great Demon, are currently playing a game with our bodies.

Yeah, right?　Are you going to change the rules now?

No, I'm just trying to settle the score within the rules. Now I'm going to offer you a game, and you can decide what you want to play. You can decide what you want to bet on, but we'll decide what to bet on.

The Purple Demon King narrowed his eyes a little when he heard our proposal, and then thought about it.

...... So that's it, huh?　You want me to bet on a lot of demons at once because I'm betting on one demon at a time?

No, no, no, no. I'm not going to do anything clever like that. No, no, no, no. It's much simpler than that.

Can you tell me about ......?

I want you to be serious. That's all. Up until now, my goal has been to play the game as if we were equals, to force you to expend your resources so that you would eventually give up. But now that I know you're serious, I don't stand a chance.

If the Purple Demon King wanted you for interest or pleasure, he would have numbed you and used the power of caging.

If he did, he would use a countermeasure to avoid it and confront you with defeat.

Even though he was going to renege on his promise, he was going to complete the siege and deal with it more safely during the game.

But if the Purple Demon King really wanted me and wanted to protect his value, this method would be meaningless.

Even if he consumed a large demon, the Purple Demon Lord had plenty of demons to bet on.

It will run out at some point, but we'd rather lose the game first.

So, if you want to end this ...... game, I can't accept it easily.

Of course, if you want to refuse, that's fine, but I'm only going to offer you one game. I'm only going to offer you one game, and I'm only going to bet on this one.

"It sounds like you have something very valuable to offer me, but what could be more valuable than your life?

"You don't have to choose a thing to settle this once. This is all-in.

"All in?

The word "game" was understood by the interpreter, but the term "all-in" was not.

The word "game" was understood by the interpreter, but the term "all-in" was not.

"It means to bet everything, everything I have.

What's in it for me besides your life?

I'm not just betting my body, I'm betting my mind.

What do you mean?

"If you win, I'll give you what you want. If you ask me to love you, I will do my best to love you.

...... Well, that's certainly something to treasure. It's an invitation I'd love to accept if I could. ...... So you want me to bet all my money on the Great Satan?

No, it's one thing for you to bet.

What do you want me to bet?

What I want is the Purple Demon Lord, yourself.

I'm going to give in to the fervor of my resolve and tell you the truth.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

You're putting the Demon Lord and a human on the same scale?

Yes, this is an equal match. There are no Demon Lords or humans. If you want my heart, you'll have to pay a fair price.

Price? Do you really think you're worth that much?

"Shut up!

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

I'm not sure why you only want my body, when I want yours and your heart.

I know my heart's already been turned enough.

...... Well, it's not a bad bet in my opinion. But even if I'm good, Duvraeus and the other great demons won't be satisfied, will they?　If they want to follow me after they get me, that's not going to happen, especially not Duvraeus, right?

I'm sure you're right," Duvraeus sniffs.

In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it for a lot of things.

You'll need to pay a price to silence this great demon, who has already escaped from the purple demon lord's control in a previous game.

"Then I'll give you a bonus, along with the information I'm about to give you. In short, it should be worth the price of a demon lord, right?

Yes, but do you have what it takes?

First, the location of the Scarlet Witch King.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

I'm not sure what to do.　But that's not all...

"The location of the Colorless Demon King, and how to summon him.

What?

The only people who knew this information were Marito, Pope Euparo, and the two men beside him, Mix and Mr. Darkness.

The Gold Demon Lord told me that there is a colorless Demon Lord, but he has never been seen before.

Then the same must be true of the Purple Demon Lord.

You think you know about the Colorless?

Yeah, I'm not going to bluff my way in here.

"...... Yes, that is very interesting information, but--

"Oh, there's the information the Demon Lord wants most. I'll add that to the list.

What is it?

"The Shiro Witch King, Yugra, now.

A clear response, the one who made you a demon lord, the one who destroyed you.

The one who made you a Demon Lord and destroyed you. The one who gave you a reason to hide yourself now. 　

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

How did you know that, my Lord?

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to try to find out.

The reason for this is not clear, but it is likely that the information was deliberately withheld.

I heard from the Colorless Demon Lord, and also what he's doing now.

"Well, if you know that information, then you must be telling the truth about the Colorless.

"Oh, my Lord, what do you mean?　That Yugra is the Demon Lord.

Yes, that's right.　Demon kings can recognize each other as demon kings, so we all know. We all know that Yugra became the Demon Lord in order to kill us.

You're confident you can get information?　If you're so confident that you can get the information, there's no point in getting it from me. So what do you say, you still want your money?

No, I've had enough. I'll take the match.

My Lord!　Don't be so hasty in your decision.

Duvvlei, you are already aware of the value of his information, aren't you?　I'm sure there's a lot of information you could extract from him if you wanted to, but once you have his body and mind, you'll have it all, won't you?　Or do you want me to bargain up the price like a stingy merchant dealing with a well-to-do man?

It's...

You don't have to offer any information, it's a fair game between me and him.　He has proven his worth to you for trying to interfere with it. If you dare to disgrace the game between him and me with any more of your unseemly antics, I will have your head on a spike right now.

So that's it.

If I'm going to give my body and soul, of course I'm going to get all the information I can get my hands on.

If I can show my social value, that's enough.

To be frank, it's hard to answer the question of human value.

"So... you don't mind if I think about the game, do you?

Yes, and I'll have the Golden Demon King as my witness.

Yes, that's why you brought him here.

As immortals living together for a long time, the Demon Lords must always keep their promises.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your time and how you're going to do it.

If you want to play a game with an opponent who is not your equal, you need someone who can handle the game, and that's the Golden Demon Lord.

"Wait a minute. I'm here because you said you needed me!　You're not supposed to help me as an ally?

Isn't it unfair to side with a demon lord?

"It's true that my mistress's good looks, intelligence, beauty, and loveliness, as well as her tail, give her an overwhelming advantage.

It's no problem at all. As long as the gold is still alive when the game is over, I'm good enough to watch over her, right?　Is there a game you can join?　And those behind you will fight for you, won't they?

The Iliad and the others responded with their eyes, saying it was a foolish question.

The Purple Demon Lord smiles wistfully in reply.

"Well - you don't have to tell me that I have bad taste.

I'm sure it's bad.

I'm sorry, but...

"Oh dear?　You say that?　After the game, you might want to have a little more confidence in yourself.

You think you've won? By the way, one of the reasons I asked you to play right now is because Taze and Mejis are chasing me. I'm sure they'll catch up with you tomorrow.

"Yes, of course, you'd make such a proposal, wouldn't you?　You've made enemies in every direction, haven't you?

Still, there are people on my side, so it's not all bad.

I was going to make it through with all sides, but as long as I can't find peace of mind, I have no choice.

So let's just make a few more enemies, shall we?

I've decided on the game. It's going to take some time to prepare, but I'll give you ...... about an hour.

That's no problem. But if you have time, why don't we talk before the game?

Oh, what a change of heart, when I'm the one who's always asking.

Is it strange that I want to know as much as I can about my opponent, who is about to challenge me with everything he has?

Do you think I'm going to give you the information you want?

I'll pay for it. I'll tell you the story of my life on Earth. Honestly, I don't want to tell you a disgusting story, but I don't have a choice.

"...... Okay, let's talk.
