Sent To Isekai As Demon King's
Eps 8: Because We Are Partners

The morning was the perfect time for Isabella who was sipping her tea to enjoy the day. And his comfort was slightly disturbed when he heard the noise from the corridor outside his room.

Opening the door of his room, he saw that there were several servants whispering to each other. He was currently resting in the residence mansion of Count Blackwood. They should have gone on their way later in the afternoon had it not been the case that they had met the dragon and Gray Wolf in the Blackwood Forest yesterday. Well, expecting safety in a forest full of monsters is like expecting a dry clothesline under a cloudy sky.

To treat the wounds, they rested at least two three days there. It was fortunate that the northern nobles had closeness to each other thanks to often going shoulder to shoulder in the face of imperial invasions, so that he could happily accept the generosity of the Blackwood Count indulging them and helping them with what they needed.

“What happened?” ask Isabella.

Instantly, the servants who were whispering were goosebumps of fear. Even though Miss Isabella is famous for her kindness, they still do not want to make things that can endanger their careers. Because, it was possible that someone passed by and heard and saw their behavior and reported it to the Count.

“A– Ah, nothing important, Miss. We only heard there was an Adventurer who brought Blade Tiger back yesterday.” Answer one of the servants.

“Blade Tiger? That King of the Forest?” ask Isabella to make sure. He knew very little about the famous monsters in the continent. It was because he did not deal with something like that too often.

“True. And again, he took her alive and made her a pet.”

Isabella was surprised and amazed by the figure of the Adventurer who was able to do it. Although he did not know for sure, it would at least take a lot of strong people to defeat him. And again, he took her alive. And again, he made her a pet. It was of course many times cooler than the first one.

“Zirka-san,” Isabella calls her deputy commander.

“What's up, Young Miss?” Zirka answered immediately. He was already standing before the door as a bodyguard at this moment.

“Prepare horse carriage. I want to take a walk in the city.” Isabella.

“Good, Young Miss. Please wait a minute.”

Just go and get Zirka ready for her master's daughter.

After some time, Isabella was sitting comfortably in her horse carriage. And when he just got out of the mansion, the coachman–the man who runs the horse carriage–told him of the whereabouts of the man who carried the Tiger Blade.

Isabella looked out from inside the carriage. He could only catch a glimpse of the two robed adventurers carrying the Tiger Blade. But, he paid more attention to a brown-robed adventurer. Looking at him, he somehow felt like he had seen him.

But that only happened for a moment. A moment later, he could not see her anymore because the road was in its most crowded condition.

“Ah, Zirka-san, may I ask for your help?” ask Isabella to Zirka.

“As long as I can do it, I will do it, Young Miss. So, just say.” Zirka Sahut.

As a bodyguard, he should have been outside the carriage. But since Isabella had allowed it, she had to obey. And when she initially refuses out of fear that rumors will spread, Isabella says she can better protect herself in the same place. That's why he wanted to do it.

“Please find information about the adventurer who made Blade Tiger as his pet.” Isabella.

“For what, Young Miss?” ask Zirka.

He shouldn't have asked that. However, because he knew that his nona was a good person, he dared to ask.

“It looks like he is the same person that time.” Answer Isabella.

Hearing Isabella's reply, Zirka could not guess anything.

“Hana, isn't there no West Gate? Why are we heading west?” laciel asked realizing something.

“Well, isn't a witch someone who prepares something before a battle? As an adventurer, you should buy equipment that matches your rank or higher.” Answer Hana. “Look at yourself.” Hana turned around facing Laciel. His gaze swept from top to bottom, then back to top again.

“Brown cloaks are more suitable for an Assassin. An ugly sword you picked up out of nowhere at the bottom of the forest. Even the clothes under your cloak there is no enchant magic nothing.” Hana.

“Yeah, but, I just have a few pieces of money. To stay one more time, I have to think again.” Laciel gave his reason.

“What is in front of you? As a C-rank Adventurer, the money I raised was already plenty. You can wear it first.” Said Hana in a slightly arrogant tone.

“Why have you done everything so far?” ask Laciel.

“Why? Because we're adventure partners, aren't we? And fellow colleagues will help each other help each other.”

A colleague, thought Laciel. I remember my friends at the orphanage and the caretaker brothers. Other than them, I don't have anyone who understands me.

“Rekan, huh? Your selection says outdated once, yes.” Laciel.

“A– What do you mean?”

“Nothing, kok.”

...*****...

“So, you chose that?” ask Hana.

Now they are in a store that sells various armour and weapons that are often used.

Laciel who was standing looking at himself with new clothes in the mirror replied, “Yeah, I love this.”

He was wearing a tunic made from monster skin. Her tunes extended to her knees. On some sides of his chest, the tunic was equipped with metal pieces. Since the tunic was unarmed, a black-colored shirt was seen on Laciel's arm. The black shirt itself is heat-resistant and anti-cold.

At the bottom, Laciel was wearing black pants made from magic threads. The material is strong and waterproof as well as anti-fire. And as footwear, he wore shoes that were enchanted with acceleration magic.

After finishing his stare, Laciel approached Hana who was waiting at the cashier's table. On the table was a sword made of extremely strong Zaenia steel. His blade is said to tear metal like scissors cutting paper. In addition to the sword, there was also a one meter tall black magic wand and a pair of hunting knives.

“This is everything you ordered. Looks like you really like black, huh?” said Hana.

“Yeah, that's it.” Answer Laciel. Black is cool, you know? Many MCs wore black clothes, whether he was Sorcerer, Knight, let alone Assassin.

“Total is 1½ gold coins, 6½ silver coins, and 17 bronze.”

The one who spoke was a shopkeeper. He had a very contained body and a thick beard grew under his chin.

Wait, wait, wait. If it is calculated, then the total is about 5 million rupiah less! Laciel screamed in his heart. “Hana, is it okay ...”

Laciel had not yet finished his words, he had already been cut off by Hana. “Good, good. Here it is.” Hana handed over four coins. 1 gold coin, ½ gold coins, 5 silver coins, and the last piece was 2 silver coins. “Take the change for you.”

“Thank you very much, Miss Hana. You are very kind.” Praise the shopkeeper.

After that, they get out of there.

“Hana, ..” Laciel was about to speak, but was again cut off.

“It's okay, really. Don't think about this problem anymore. You better focus on finding a lot of treasures inside the dungeon there later. We are partners, okay?”

Going to a place famous as a dungeon that has not been explored entirely, Laciel's facial features are difficult to interpret.
