Flillian, I want to live.

"So I want to impart everything I've learned into him, but..."

Aize stared into Guter's eyes and said.

"but?"

Guter blinked in confusion.

"I'm not good at dealing with little brats. Could you please take care of him?"

Aize told Guter his request.

"Well, I'm here on a mission after all," Guter tilted his head in confusion. "Looking for that thing after a thousand years is like looking for a needle in a haystack. We have plenty of time, but I'm afraid Haita won't last many more years."

"I didn't ask you to be his babysitter. I just hope you can spend more time with him when you're free. Although you demons don't have emotions, you're good at imitating, aren't you?"

Aize didn't care whether Gutel was willing to agree or not, and he went back to the room while talking to himself.

Guter stayed temporarily in Aize's cabin.

Although Eze hoped that Guter could take care of Hugh Turk, Hugh Turk himself avoided Guter.

Although Gutel seemed to be a cheerful and lovely girl, Xutalk had learned in advance from his master that this black-haired girl who always wore a sun hat was a great demon.

The demons are the nightmare that Xutark cannot avoid.

He would never forget the meaningful smile that the demon who destroyed his village gave him when he looked back at his cowardly escape.

Since Hugh Tark always liked to avoid her, Guter was happy to be free. After all, the task of taking care of the other party was originally imposed on her by Aize.

Until one day, after searching in the For Basin for a whole day without finding anything, Gutel returned to the village where Aize lived at dusk and happened to see Xutark in an open space on the side of the road.

At this time, he was surrounded by a group of children from the same village, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, shivering.

"Hahaha!"

"Coward~"

It is not difficult to see from the mockery and pointing of the surrounding children towards Hugh Turk that at this time Hugh Turk seemed to have become the target of their bullying.

"Hey, hey, Hugh Tark, are you so afraid of monsters? It's just a little bug~"

Among the group of children surrounding Hugh Turk, there was a fat kid who was obviously a head taller than the others.

It is not difficult to see that this fat child is the leader of this group of children in the village. At this moment, he is holding a small magic insect with a smirk on his face, and is moving closer to the curled up Hugh Tark.

I was bullied...

Gutel looked at the scene in front of him with indifference.

This is always inevitable. After all, for children who lack education, they will carry an evil in their nature.

Just like the demons.

If it was another child lying there, Guter would probably choose to ignore it.

However, after all, she promised Aize that she would take care of Xutalk.

"Hey, hey, can't you see that the kid doesn't want to?"

Guter walked into the open space and shouted at the other children who were amusing themselves by bullying Hugh Tark.

"Ok?"

The child king stopped what he was doing when he heard the voice. He turned around with some dissatisfaction and looked at Gutel who had broken into his territory.

If it were an adult like Aize, perhaps he could tame these unruly kids.

But Guterre still looks a lot different from a real adult in terms of height and appearance.

"What? Is it your business!?"

The child king holding the magic insect straightened his back and strode forward, frowning and roaring at Gutel fiercely.

Hahaha, are the children nowadays so much better nourished than when the Demon King’s army invaded?

Gutel looked at the child king who stood up and was even slightly taller than him, and couldn't help but blink in surprise.

"That guy Hugh Turk is my little brother."

However, this level of bluffing could not scare Gutel. She smoothed her bangs with her hand and spoke calmly.

"Hey, didn't you hear what our boss said? What the hell is this to you? Get out of here! Otherwise, we won't understand your gentle ways~ Hehehe~"

This time, before the child king could speak, another tall and thin child ran up first, threatening Gutel with a smirk on his face.

Ah, there are also such lackeys who take advantage of the power of others to bully others.

Guter turned his head slightly and looked at the thin kid who spoke for the boss.

"Hey! Did you hear that? Don't pretend to be dumb—"

Hey~

Guter swung a straight punch forward, hitting the thin kid's face hard. With the opponent's facial features sunken, the thin kid flew out like a straw blown by the wind, and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

"Is it your turn to speak here? Are you worthy of talking to me?"

Guter shook his wrist and said with disdain.

The force just now was enough to make that guy who liked to stand out stay at home for several weeks.

As the saying goes, killing a chicken to scare the monkey, Guter immediately made the open space, which was just noisy, become silent.

Seeing his most capable younger brother being knocked out by this seemingly harmless girl with one punch, the arrogant and domineering child king couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

"Xiu, Xiu Turk, your sister is here to pick you up, why don't you get out of here quickly."

The child king turned around stiffly, looked at Xutark who was holding his head and secretly looking at this side, and shouted at him with all his strength.

"Didn't you just say it's none of my business?"

However, Guter's voice, which obviously had no intention of letting the matter go, sounded slowly from behind the King of Children.

"I, Charlie, am a real man and would never bully a woman!"

The child king named Charlie turned around and righteously rejected Gutel's provocation.

"is it?"

Guter turned to look at the other children who dared not say a word. It was not difficult to guess from their evasive gazes that Charlie was obviously lying.

"Of course!"

But at this moment, Charlie obviously didn't care about many things, and just insisted that he would not fight with women.

"Well, in that case," Guter did not expose Charlie's intention, but looked at the still dazed Hugh Tark, "Hugh Tark, you come and fight him."

Chapter 64: Victory over the Police Station

"I?"

Hugh Turk, who had just stood up from the ground, looked at Gutel who was pointing at him in shock.

"Yes, it's you."

Guter replied with a smile.

"Are you kidding me..."

If he really had the courage to fight Charlie, the leader of the children who was taller and stronger than him, he would not have become a coward bullied by all the children in the village.

"If you don't want to fight him, why not fight me? Pick one, Hugh Tark."

However, Gutel obviously had no intention of discussing this with Huetalk. She grinned with a happy smile and put the choice in Huetalk's hands.

"Forehead……"

Xutark turned his head and glanced at the unlucky kid who had just been knocked to the ground by Guter's punch. As the only person here who knew Guter's identity as a great demon, he actually had no choice at all.

For all the children present, it was a battle without any suspense.

Not to mention in his own village, even in the surrounding villages and towns, Charlie is the most capable bully among his peers.

As for Hugh Tark, he is a well-known coward who would be scared to tears by the little devil insects.

"You are the disciple of Warrior Aize, Xiutalk."

Looking at Hugh Tark, who was biting his lips and almost suffocating with nervousness, Gutel spoke helplessly.

"So what... I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Xuturk raised his clenched fist. Although he tried hard to calm himself down, his hand kept shaking as if it was totally out of control.

From a very early time, Shutark was able to split huge rocks with an axe, which was something that only independent warriors could do.

However, even when facing very weak monsters, such a Hugh Tark still had no fighting spirit. Every time, he would run away and hide behind his master to avoid the battle.

"Fear is not a bad thing, Hugh Tark."

Xuturk thought that Guter would scold him, but Guter just smiled, reached out his hand, and touched the boy's head.

"Eh?"

Hugh Turk looked up in surprise and looked at Gutel who was unexpectedly gentle.

"Thanks to a certain brave man, I became a coward out of fear, terrified of humans. Even now that he's gone, the shadow he left on me still lingers."

This was the first time that Guterres told Huettarque his story.

"In this respect, we are actually very similar, Hugh Tark."

Guter hid his slightly trembling hands behind his back, looked at the somewhat surprised Hugh Tark, and said self-deprecatingly.

“However, it was precisely because of this fear that my originally boring life changed. It was precisely because of this fear that I had the courage to take the first step and brought me to where I am today.”

Hugh Turk stood in the middle of the open space. He raised his head and looked at Charlie who was rubbing his fists in front of him, while thinking about what Guter had just said to him.

Is that so? Even a powerful demon like Gutel would be afraid?

"Ahhh-"

Hugh Tark let out a roar to give himself courage, then rushed towards his opponent with his fist raised.

Fear does not need to be overcome.

Because fear itself is the source of power that drives cowards forward.

Charlie's fist hit Hugh Turk's cheek first, but Hugh Turk did not retreat. Instead, he jumped up and punched Charlie in the chin.

Why is it that I, who don't even dare to touch the magic bugs, can persist in the master's almost arduous training without complaint? Why is it that I, who don't dare to fight at all, have to swing my axe at the boulder again and again?

Because fear drives me to become stronger.

Hugh Turk rode on Charlie who fell backwards. He gritted his teeth, ignored the fists coming at him, and just punched Charlie in the face one by one without any skill.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Amidst Hugh Tark's roar, the children surrounding him rediscovered the coward they saw in him.

"That's enough, Hugh Tark."

In a trance, Guter grabbed Hugh Turk's hand.

"If the fight continues, this guy is really going to die."

Guter looked at Charlie, who was beaten into a pig's head by Hugh Turk and lying unconscious on the ground, and reminded Hugh Turk who hit him on the head.

Hugh Turk loosened his bloody fist and slowly stood up from Charlie's body.

The arrogant child king was defeated by him in an almost one-sided way of abuse.

Hugh Turk, who had no real sense of his victory, raised his head and suddenly found himself surrounded by a familiar gaze.

He turned his head and looked at the children watching around him.

That was a look of fear.

Everyone looked at Hugh Turk with fear, just like how he had looked at them when he was bullied before.

"Do you understand? The way to earn the respect of others is to make them fear you and dominate them with power. From today on, you have the final say in this village."

Gutel placed his hand on Hugh Tark's shoulder, and with a wicked smile, he began to instill the social theories of the demons into him.

"Really? As long as I have power, I can control others..."

Hugh Turk listened to Guter's instigation with a vague understanding, and a flame of ambition began to ignite in his heart...
