Chapter 110

“Is she a yokai too?”

The question popped out reflexively as I saw the demoness.

Then, the Dolharbang next to me quietly hid behind me and answered.

[She’s not a yokai. But she looks dangerous. She’s stronger than me, Reubang.]

[Maehwa Tree]—I don’t know. She doesn’t look human, so she must be a yokai, right? Though I’m seeing her for the first time.

[Maid]—I don’t know either!

The knowledgeable viewers also chimed in about yokai.

After compiling all the responses, it seemed the demoness wasn’t a yokai.

‘…Well, I’ll just ask the Defense Team.’

Why did she come here all of a sudden?

What is the identity of the demoness next to me?

I was just thinking of asking the Defense Team step by step when they approached.

“Criminal of violence!”

The demoness suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs and spread her wings.

Then, she started flying toward me at high speed.

“Judgment!”

“Wha—? Hey, you crazy bitch, don’t attack me! Didn’t you see me greeting you?!”

The Defense Team urgently shouted, but the demoness didn’t seem to hear them as she sped up even more.

Just as the demoness reached right in front of me.

“What the hell is this crazy bitch?”

I reflexively slammed my fist into the demoness’s forehead.

*Boom!*

The demoness’s head crumpled, and she crashed into the ground.

The impact sent dust flying everywhere.

‘Ah… Did I hit her too hard?’

That was my thought after punching her.

It felt like I might have put a bit too much force into it.

‘She’s not dead, right?’

I didn’t know why she attacked me.

But since she’s part of the Defense Team, I definitely didn’t want to kill her.

I figured there must have been some misunderstanding, so I just wanted to subdue her appropriately.

“Se-hoon, are you okay?!”

The Defense Team rushed over.

At the same time, the dust cleared, revealing the demoness buried in the ground.

Her crumpled head was slowly regenerating.

It seemed her body had an incredible regenerative ability, like balloon gum.

At least she wasn’t dead, which was a relief.

***

There wasn’t really any misunderstanding.

The demoness had judged me as a criminal.

She thought criminals should be judged, so she attacked.

Of course, she didn’t know I was an acquaintance of the Defense Team.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have attacked.

Anyway.

As soon as she found out I was an acquaintance of the Defense Team, the demoness hurriedly knelt and pressed her head to the ground, apologizing.

“I’m sorry, Master! I didn’t know you were the Master’s acquaintance! Please kill me! No, please don’t kill me!”

“What the hell is this bitch saying?”

It sounded like an apology, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying.

I didn’t get why she was calling me “Master” too.

As I stared at the demoness like she was an idiot, the Defense Team next to me explained.

“She’s a demon I brought from hell. She calls anyone stronger than her ‘Master.’”

“…Typical strong-weak-strong dynamic. But a demon? Not a yokai?”

“Yeah. She’s not just any demon—she’s a Greater Demon, higher than a high-ranking demon.”

[Reverse Rape Mania]—A demon?

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Hell really exists?

[Handsome Licker]—Then does heaven exist too? I guess living morally paid off.

It wasn’t hard to believe.

In a world where yokai exist, it wasn’t strange for demons to exist too.

The viewers also seemed to accept it easily.

After witnessing so many bizarre phenomena through my broadcasts, they’ve gotten used to it quickly.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—But why is that bitch from the Defense Team hanging out with a demon?

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Maybe the Defense Team is a demon too?

[Maehwa Tree]—They do look similar to demons.

[Yoho]—Then are all the members of the Defense Team’s circus troupe demons?

“I’m human, you crazy bitches.”

The Defense Team got angry while looking at the chat on their phone.

Then they looked up at me and spoke again.

“Anyway, Se-hoon, you take those yokai and get out of the village. I’ll handle things here.”

“How are you going to handle it?”

“I’ll explain later. Just get out for now.”

“…Alright.”

I decided to trust them for now.

It’ll be fine.

The Defense Team doesn’t seem like an ordinary human either.

Just as I was about to leave the village with Dolharbang and the Eight-foot Monster.

The demoness suddenly stood up and stared at me with an intense gaze, gushing admiration.

“Ah, no! Seeing you up close, you’re such a handsome man! You’re exactly my type! How could I have tried to judge someone like you as a criminal…?”

She was an overly dramatic one.

I was about to ignore her and walk away when.

*Whoosh.*

The demoness quickly moved in front of me, knelt on one knee, and extended her hand as if proposing.

“I’ve fallen for you at first sight, Master! Please fall into hell with me!”

“Get lost.”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—What kind of hell is she talking about, damn bitch.

[Yoho]—She’s a peculiar yokai.

[Meng Yao]—She’s not a yokai, she’s a demon.

[Min Ji]—All sorts of weird things keep popping up.

[Qkrnfl892]—You really can’t see this kind of stuff outside of livestreams.

[Handsome Licker]—It’s weird even watching it on a livestream…

[Maehwa Tree]—The world’s gotten better. You can see yokai and demons on livestreams.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—The world has yokai, demons, and Gye Se-hoon… Memo.

[Qkrnfl892]—After watching this, I’m starting to suspect it’s all staged like those fake YouTubers.

[Maehwa Tree]—Se-hoon wouldn’t bother with staged broadcasts.

[Big Girl]—At this rate, aliens might show up later.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—I wouldn’t be surprised if aliens showed up.

[Yoho]—Oh, right! I met an alien yesterday. They told me it’s a corporate secret, but I’ll just spill it here!

[Reverse Rape Mania]—??? Aliens are real?

[Yoho]—Yeah, they’re real. I saw one for the first time yesterday. They called themselves Reptilians or something. Anyway, it’s a secret, so don’t go around talking about it.

[Min Ji]—Don’t show off.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Damn bitch Yoho. She’s just trying to look special by throwing out wild claims.

Looking at the chat, most of the attention was focused on the demoness.

No one seemed curious about the Defense Team’s identity.

‘I’m more curious about why the Defense Team, a magician from the circus troupe, is hanging out with a demon than the demon itself.’

I swallowed my questions.

They said they’d explain later.

For now, taking the yokai out of the village was the priority.

“Reubang, Popo, let’s go.”

[Got it, Reubang.]

[Popo…]

Dolharbang and the Eight-foot Monster stuck close behind me.

They seemed scared of the demoness.

Even though Reubang is a high-ranking yokai, she’s probably no match for a Greater Demon.

‘For someone with such a grandiose title, she’s pretty weak…’

I glanced at the demoness as I walked.

She was giving me a sticky, intense gaze.

Then she got smacked on the back of the head by the Defense Team and was dragged back into the village.

‘What kind of Greater Demon is that, damn it.’

The more I saw, the more pathetic she seemed.

Even if I were to fall into hell later.

I felt arrogant enough to think I could take down all the demons.

[Balloon Gum Collector]—Se-hoon, aren’t you taking the other corpses?

“Huh? Other corpses?”

[Maehwa Tree]—Besides the Eight-foot Monster’s daughter, there should be other victims.

[Balloon Gum Collector]—That’s what I’m saying.

[Handsome Licker]—Balloon Gum isn’t being annoying today.

“Ah. Now that you mention it, there probably are other corpses.”

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—Just go. I’ll handle the other corpses.

I decided to leave it to the Defense Team.

[There shouldn’t be any corpses with lingering souls, Reubang.]

Dolharbang said the other corpses had already lost their souls, so they couldn’t be revived.

***

After leaving the village.

The Eight-foot Monster seemed to have made up her mind. She stopped crying and spoke to Dolharbang.

[Please… Popo…]

[Got it, Reubang.]

It seemed she had decided to revive her daughter as a yokai.

[Put the corpse on the ground, Reubang.]

As the Eight-foot Monster gently placed her daughter on the ground, Dolharbang approached the corpse and opened its mouth wide.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Is she really going to revive her? Damn, that’s insane.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—I’ve never seen someone bring the dead back to life.

[Min Ji]—Me neither.

[Qkrnfl892]—Of course, it’s normal to have never seen it.

[Handsome Licker]—I should record this.

[Drifting AI]—I’ll say it. Recording is disabled.

[Big Girl]—Is there really a setting to disable recording?

[Maehwa Tree]—Yeah. Right now, recording isn’t possible, and you can’t film it with other devices either. Even if you turn on the broadcast on your computer and try to film it with your phone, it won’t show up in the video or photos.

[Yoho]—How do you know that, Maehwa?

[Meng Yao]—She’s a recording addict. I hacked her phone and computer, and they were full of Se-hoon’s videos. It’s creepy.

[Drifting AI]—I’ll say it. I also saw Maehwa’s computer and got chills.

[Maehwa Tree]—Don’t go snooping through other people’s computers, you crazy bitches.

[Balloon Gum Collector]—Wow. Boldly hacking.

[Maid]—Pfft. Bold hackers.

Dolharbang kept opening and closing her mouth.

Then she suddenly stopped and swallowed the Eight-foot Monster’s daughter in one gulp.

[Popo…!?]

[Reverse Rape Mania]—???

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Don’t eat her, you damn bastard!

[Min Ji]—Crazy!!!

[Maehwa Tree]—I knew she’d do that. Quickly exorcise her, Se-hoon.

Dolharbang chewed the corpse in her mouth.

She frowned and then spat something out.

*Ptooey!*

What came out of Dolharbang’s mouth was a small statue about the size of a palm.

Of course, it wasn’t an ordinary statue.

[Ugh… Where am I…?]

[Popo. Popo…]

[Huh? Dad?]

[Posun…!]

It was a yokai statue that was alive, moving, and even talking.
