The Book of Lagier 211
Gaiden Episode 9

Tay raised her feet and trampled the head of the crying baby dog.

“Ha. Ok. No matter how hard I say I don’t understand, it’s your ability that catches the king’s eyes. But it should have just ended on a silly line.”

I didn’t even know if that little, weak being was really listening. Tay continued speaking coldly, whether the other party was listening or not.

“It shouldn’t have been as disturbing as it is now.”

The demon dog that had been scratching under his feet suddenly stopped moving. Although he stepped on it, he didn’t give much force, so he wasn’t dead.

With this, Tay realized that Rey had understood the words properly. The paper boat-like smile that was floating on his lips gradually faded.

“It is said that once a demon dog bites an opponent, he does not let go until death?”

Even though the bite killed the demon dog in two, it was said that the demon dog’s teeth were lodged all the way through the body.

The dragon whispered in a voice without any emotion.

“I would rather have bitten the people who tormented you that day and died together.”

Rey rolled her eyes hard and looked up at him. The demon dragon’s face, visible through the blurred vision, was now completely expressionless. Tay muttered with a dry expression on his face that had completely lost his smile.

“Well, there’s no way to do that.”

– … … .

tuk.

Tears like chicken dung fell from the demon dog’s eyes. In the meantime, seeing her face bursting into tears rather than just listening to what she has to say, Tei stopped flinching.

– I know.

“… … !”

Tay asked blankly.

“Did you know how to speak?”

– From the beginning, I had no value of living.

Rei kept her mouth shut and didn’t say anything after following the Demon King to the castle.

When Embildon said something, he waved his tail to express his joy, but that was only that much. I saw it and misunderstood that everyone was speechless.

However, the demon dog Ray was only very talkative.

A small cough escaped Rey’s mouth as he looked up at Tay in surprise.

– … Yet he allowed it.

Despite having a small and fragile body, Rey never backed down in front of the Demon Dragon. Unshakable black eyes looked straight up at Tay.

– He gave me a name because it’s only natural for me to have an instinct for life.

Tay’s eyes widened in surprise.

The cause of the tears the Red Demon Dog is now was not from fear, but from a sense of remorse. Rei did not resent Tay for making a harsh sound.

– So I… … .

‘You can live.’

To the king who said that, he was the most resentful of himself for not being of any help.

Rey, who was only dripping with hot tears, collapsed to the floor before Tay could respond.

Tay looked at the condition of the demon dog who had fallen in a hurry. I don’t know why, but seeing that he was still shaking, he seemed to have a bad fever.

“Why all of a sudden?”

Tay asked himself in a voice mixed with embarrassment. Of course, his body was so weak that it was not strange if he suddenly collapsed. But the timing was bad.

In fact, after holding up well for a while, I felt like I was going to cry and say something I didn’t like, and I’d probably collapse.

This was like horribly harassing a young puppy that had been left by its owner.

But there was a worse timing than this.

The door suddenly opened while the demon dragon was also confused by the sudden fall of the demon dog.

“what. Were you both locked up in the room? These have their owners, but they don’t even look at me.”

“Wow, King.”

Tay looked back and became completely frozen.

Mbildon, who had just returned home, was striding into the room.

The dark corner of the room was not even turned on, the baby demon dog fell down, and the demon dragon who mercilessly trampled on the fragile puppy’s head.

This combination was quite vicious even for Tay himself.

‘I’m going to get scolded!’

My heart was pounding like a child caught by my mother at the sight of breaking the pottery. As Tay stiffened, not knowing what to do, Embildon tilted his head slightly.

“Huh? Why is the atmosphere like this? Did you guys fight?”

“That, my, that.”

None of the sentences that should lead to ‘I’m not’ or ‘I’ did not connect properly. Unbelievably Tay, as he was stuttering his parents, Mbildon approached him with a puzzled face.

“Tay?”

“Sin, I’m sorry!”

Tei, who was hesitant and not sure what to do, closed his eyes tightly and shouted. Then he passed the demon king and ran back and forth.

Embilden, who was left in the room by the wind, scratched his head with an absurd expression.

“Why are you here, that guy… … ?”

* * *

Though he inadvertently ran away, Tay did not go far.

He just ran out because he was afraid of being scolded, but there was no way the cowardly Demon Dragon could get away from the Demon King.

Tay was right in the basement of the Demon King’s Castle.

‘Aah, why did I do that?’

And immediately regretted it.

It was disrespectful to leave the seat at will, even without the king’s command.

I wanted to turn back right away, but I couldn’t go back because the demon king might have been more angry by now.

Tay, who had been moaning alone with her hair tied up, finally leaned against the wall and sat down glidingly. The dark and damp air characteristic of the basement clinged to his skin uncomfortably.

Tay squatted and hugged herself with her wings like a bat hanging from a cave wall. I felt very depressed.

“Disappointment… … .”

You must have said that, an unsuccessful murmur hung down his throat.

Tei has always tried not to show any gaps in the role of helping the Demon King.

It was easy to follow the king’s orders.

The Demon Dragon, which has been accumulating power in the egg for a long time, was strong and versatile without needing to be taken care of. If anything was helpful to the owner, he was willing to dedicate himself.

Because there wasn’t anything the king didn’t like.

But after Ray came, my happy daily life kept getting twisted.

‘That motherfucker!’

To be more precise, Tay hated Rey. When I watched Ray Libido, my anger often rose.

It was the worst feeling of being threatened by a being weaker and less helpful than him.

‘What’s even worse is the fact.’

Tay grew somber and buried her face between her wings.

‘It means I feel inferior to him.’

That was jealousy.

This was the first time that Tay realized just how humble the childish and naive feeling of inferiority was.

The demon dog who suddenly rolled in one day was different from the other demons. He took the top spot without any effort. He sits in a noble seat by the king’s side and is safely protected.

There is only one reason, because the Demon King himself chose it.

The moment Ray Libido appeared, Tay lost her composure. Even if I tried to hide it by pretending it wasn’t, it came out.

Just like a human child whose parents’ love was taken away by a younger brother who was suddenly born, he becomes so helpless.

“… Oh, I really hate it.”

Tay muttered in a voice full of sorrow. I had to go out and apologize to the owner and get punished, but I didn’t want to.

If I did, I felt like I was losing even my pride as a demon dragon.

Especially in front of Ray, he hated himself the most.

Tay remained motionless for a while, crouching on the cold basement floor. Leave your ears open so that you can run whenever you hear the call of the owner.

how much time has passed

As emotions slowly subsided and the owner began to worry, Tei opened her closed eyes.

‘It’s oddly quiet.’

The castle was too quiet.

As Tay knew, his owner wasn’t originally inclined to go out loud when angry.

There was hardly any contortion or shouting. When Embildon got angry, he would rather laugh and hold onto his opponent as if he would melt them.

But this time, Tay’s fault for running away from the subject from start to finish was a big mistake.

Even if I didn’t get mad right away, I thought I would find it with time.

Rei couldn’t apologize first due to her pride, but Tay was willing to come out of the basement and rob her if the owner found her.

“surely… … .”

I was suddenly terrified.

‘Maybe the king doesn’t need me anymore?’

When the thought reached that point, Tay’s yellow eyes fluttered violently.

In retrospect, it was the one who always looked after the demon dragon, took care of necessary information first and reported it, and was looking for anything more helpful.

A strong subordinate doesn’t mean much to the demon king Embildon, who is called the strongest of all time, so it may be a demon dragon or a demon dog. No, a loyal dog that listens well might be better.

‘Because I have a loyal demon dog, a cheeky servant like me is useless!’

Anxiety is also a disease.

Tay knew it was too much of a delusion, but he couldn’t stand it.

It was the moment when Tay got up from a crouched body just to get out of the basement.

Kurung!

Suddenly, the whole earth shook. It was such a strong vibration that the items that had been neatly piled up in the basement spilled over to the box.

“… … !”

Tay took off immediately, without even thinking about back and forth.

As soon as I spread my wings, I passed the stairs to the basement in an instant, and the tightly closed iron door came closer.

bang!

Even the door was blown up with a torso. With the basement door crumpled up like a piece of paper behind her, Tei rushed into the room where she could feel the energy of the demon king.

By the time Tay reached his destination, an ominous red energy was leaking out of the tightly closed door.

He swung the door open and looked for the owner.

“king! what’s going on… … !”

“Five. I’m here?”

Tay, who found the dark-haired boy looking around leisurely, took a long breath that he had been holding until then.

Fortunately, Mbildon looked fine. The Demon King, who had his hand in his pocket undisturbed, nodded and pointed forward.

As Tay reflexively followed her gaze, there was a space that had collapsed and scattered stones.

Just a few steps ahead, the floor was turned off and the sky was exposed.

“This is it.”

“It’s awakening.”

As soon as the words were finished, a howling sound was heard from outside. Tay immediately recognized the identity of the cry.

‘Ray Libido.’

It was a young demon dog the size of a child’s forearm. It has now grown so large that it can tear down the castle and cry out loud, but the red fur that reminds of the sunset remains the same.

Tay frowned and answered.

“… It’s a demon dog awakening.”

“Huh. This is the awakening you should have done right after you were born. It’s a bit strange to think of this as just an awakening.”

Tei also agreed with the expression that it was strange. Ordinary demon dogs don’t grow that much when they awaken.

As Mbildon saw the other day, the cubs that had awakened were generally the size of a lion.

In that state, it gets bigger as it gets older, but it takes quite a long time to become an adult.

Horse dogs grow to about 500 years.

“It’s completely adult.”
