Chapter 6: The Demon King The nobles of the box court
"So, why is this happening? Is the Black Rabbit's guild a kindergarten? β
"It's not. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the children's relatives were all taken away! It was taken away by the biggest natural disaster that attacked Hakoin, the 'Demon King'! β
"Demon King" - Sixteen Nights, who had only casually responded to this word, immediately shouted.
"Magic ...... Demons, Demon Kings!? β
There was a sparkle in his eyes, like a child discovering a new toy.
"Demon King! Isn't this the Demon King super cool! Is there still a person in the box garden who is called the Demon King!? β
"Uh, yes. But I think there may be some differences from the Demon King you imagined in Sixteen Nights......"
"Oh? Are most of the demon kings 3 meters tall, with a pair of black meat wings, blue-black skin, and a pair of fangs that are longer than their chins? At this time, Bai Chen, who was listening to their conversation on the side, suddenly interjected.
"Hey, the demon king in your mouth doesn't seem to be the same kind of demon king as I told me...... right," Black Rabbit complained
"You're talking about demons."
"Is that so?"
Then Bai Chen stopped talking.
"But since you can be called the Demon King, you should be very strong and violent, and even if you try your best to defeat others, you won't be held accountable for the kind of wonderful guys, right?"
"Uh, yes......... If you can beat them, you will probably receive a lot of thanks. And if you defeat the Demon King, depending on the conditions you set at the beginning, you may even become subordinate! β
"Really?"
"That's right. The Demon King is a sura god and demon belonging to a privileged class, and he has the 'host authority' in the box garden, and as long as they initiate a gift competition, no one can refuse. We were forced to participate in the tournament held by the Demon King who had the 'organizer permission', and the whole community ...... It was completely deprived of everything necessary for the activities of the community in the past. β
It's not a metaphor either. The status, reputation, and even partners of the Black Rabbit community were really taken away by the Demon King. All that remains are the devastated ruins and the helpless children.
However, Sixteen Night didn't look sympathetic at all, and just raised Erlang's legs on the rock again and said in a deep voice
"But it's inconvenient to have no name or flag. The most troublesome thing is that you can't express your own territory. Can't you just get a new one? β
"This, this ......" The black rabbit, who was vague for a while, hugged his head in front of his chest. Sixteen Nights was right. Without a name and a flag, not only can you not swear the glory of the community, but you will not even be believed by anyone. Because in this box garden world, without a name and flag, the surrounding people will not recognize you as an organization.
"Yes, yes, yes. But changing the name would mean the complete dissolution of the Community. And that's not going to work! We're ...... anyway I also want to keep the fate of my friends! β
I want to keep my friends home. Although this is the first time I have heard this from her mouth, there is no doubt about her sincerity. In order to protect the fate of their companions who were lost due to the war with the "Demon King", they swore to stick to the community even if they were despised by everyone.
"The road is full of thorns. But we just want to keep our partners home and rebuild the community...... In order to one day, we can regain the name and flag of the community and regain its majesty. That's why we need players like you at Sixteen Nights! Can you please lend us that great power in the community!? β
"Hmm...... Take back your dignity and companionship from the Demon King......"
Bowing and pleading to confess with all his might, only to get such a meaningless answer as Sixteen Nights, it is hard to imagine that he has a black rabbit who listened to his words, and he couldn't help but cry out in disappointment.
The black rabbit bit her lip. Think: if he refuses...... Our community is ...... If you had known that this would be the case, it would have been a good indication in the first place.
On the critical sixteenth night, he lazily changed Erlang's legs, and was silent for three minutes, and said
"That's pretty good."
ββββββββ¦β¦ Ha? β
"Hah. I said I agreed to help you. Just go for it, Black Rabbit. Sixteen Nights said unhappily.
The black rabbit who couldn't help but be stunned hurriedly asked, "Huh............ Ahh Is this the atmosphere now? β
"That's the atmosphere. Or do you not need me? If I dare to say that it is rude, I can immediately go to another community. β
"No, no, no, no. Absolutely not! We must have sixteen nights! β
"So......" Sixteen Night paused, then looked at Bai Chen, "What about you, what are you going to do?" β
At this time, the black rabbit remembered that Bai Chen was not the person she had summoned.
"Me? Anyway, I don't have much to do in the recent period, Black Rabbit, do you have a community to eat and live? If that's the case, I can join your community as well. β
"Yes, Bai Chen."
Because he could have more strength, Black Rabbit did not refuse when he lacked the main members now.
"Then, let's go to the end of the river to see the 'end of the world' first, and then go back to the box garden."
"Ah, yes!"
"By the way, what is this sapling in your hand?"
"It's a sapling of the water tree, get such a big sapling of the water tree! As long as you have this, you don't have to buy water from other communities! Everyone will be happy! β
The black rabbit, who was shouting with an unusually loud voice, held the sapling called the water tree, and kept turning in a circle. Sixteen Nights didn't know much about the Community and Hakonoi, but it seemed to be very important to her.
"So, let me ask you one more question."
"Excuse me! Don't say one, I'll answer all three or four~"
"It's so fast, it's really fickle."
"You're fickle!"
Sometimes happy and sometimes angry, it's really a rabbit that can't be still.
"It's just an irrelevant question. If you want this so much, why don't you challenge Orochi yourself? In my opinion, you should be stronger than it, right? β
The black rabbit looked slightly surprised, but his gaze became calm for a moment
ββ¦β¦ That's what I mean. This starts with why the rabbits are called 'Hakoba nobles'. The rabbits have the same 'referee rights' as the "host rights". When a person with 'referee authority' is the referee of a match, both sides must not violate the rules of the bounty game...... No, to be precise, violators will be awarded an immediate loss! β
"Oh? That's a good thing. In other words, as long as you collude with the rabbit, you can go undefeated in the bounty game? β
"No, I said. Breaking the rules equals defeat. The eyes and ears of the rabbits are connected to the center of the box. In other words, the decision to lose and take the bet has nothing to do with the rabbit's own consciousness. And if I had to misjudge......"
"Wrong?"
"You're going to explode to death~"
"It's going to explode to death~"
"And it's going to be very scary. At the cost of having 'referee authority', the rabbit will be subject to several 'restrictions'.
1. You are not allowed to participate in the competition within 15 days from the date of the referee's gift.
2. Participation in the competition is not permitted without the approval of the 'Organizer'.
3. You are not allowed to participate in competitions held outside the box.
ββThere are other constraints, but these are the three main reasons why I can't challenge the snake god. Moreover, Black Rabbit's referee remuneration is the only income of the community, so the opportunity to participate in the bounty competition will naturally decrease. β
"I see. I have the strength but I can't use it, I really can't help it~"
"I really want to see what it is like for the black rabbit to explode and die~" Bai Chen, who was floating next to him, suddenly came out with such a sentence.
The black rabbit was suddenly shocked.
"Please, please don't say such terrible things, okay?"
Sixteen nights along the river ran as fast as possible. In front of you is Tritnis Falls, the end of the world. The black rabbit, who was holding a one-man tall sapling of a water tree, also trotted after him. And Bai Chen didn't know when he tied the thin thread to the black rabbit's hand and floated behind him.
"Well, the Black Rabbit also has a question for Sixteen Nights."
"Rejected. Deceitful. Please speak. β
"Huh? Ah, yes. Why did Sixteen Nights agree to help the community of Black Rabbits? β
"Hmm......... Tell you the answer is nothing, but the answer is a bit boring. I'll change the question first, why does Black Rabbit think I want to see 'The End of the World'? β
