Sent To Isekai As Demon King's
Eps 13: The Truth

Laciel only fell asleep for a while and then woke up. The sky was already dark, but there was still a hint of red light on the horizon. Standing up and tidying up her clothes, she said to Hana and Nadja, “We're back tonight.”

Before leaving, Laciel also gave the name to Blade Tiger. His name is Nameer. After that, his race which was originally the Tiger Blade became a High Beast, and even, his combat power also rose from C+ to A. In terms of his physique, other than his hair turning black, and his sharp fangs sticking out that were increasingly looking long, nothing changed from him.

Now he looks like a Jaguar, because of his black hair, but it still looks like a Tiger, because of its dark purple shell, and looks like an ancient tiger because of its long fangs. Looking at his master, he then approached towards Laciel, and changed his size to be as small as a cat, with the same hair color.

“Ayuk, back.” Laciel said and responded with his subordinates with a nod.

Because it has become a High Beast race, Nameer can now change his body size a little larger so that it can be ridden at once. Although Nadja can fly on her own even in her Humanoid form, she is forbidden from doing so because it would damage her disguise. And even more dangerous is to make Laciel suspect.

Arriving at Blackwood County when the full moon was at its peak, Laciel saw the South Gate guarded only by a few guards, without being seen by any Adventurers, merchants, or wandering citizens. That's because night is when the Dark God is at its peak, explained Hana. The power that culminated in the night also impacted the Magician with Shadow or Dark element, Assassin, Thief, and even Devil.

Passing the checkpoint easily, Laciel also wanted to take care of the Adventurer Nadja's letter as quickly as possible. But, the Adventurers who were still wandering around inside the city were stunned by Nameer, the Tamed Tiger Blade Laciel, who now had a different color than the usual Tiger Blade.

The attention he got made him a little uncomfortable, but he could not scare the Adventurers with a bluff as it would affect the response of the people to him. Even though he was a Devil, his mind was still like a 21st century ordinary human being who was extremely sensitive to people's judgments.

Fortunately, the Adventurers gave him a path so that he could walk without having to do anything. At that moment, there was a cloaked woman who pulled her hand.

“Master Adventurer, can we talk for a minute?” please that woman.

...*****...

Laciel, Hana and Nadja are currently in a special meeting room on the floor on the 3rd floor, along with a woman and a cloaked man who became their Petitioner. Usually, this room is only rented by some Applicants who have a lot of money to rent it.

[Applicant is the one who makes the mission/quest.]

Paying attention to the female Applicant, Laciel felt she had met him, but did not remember where it was. The hooded brown robe she was wearing was released. His face was white because it was well taken care of. Looking at his extremely well-groomed skin and hair, Laciel guessed that the Claimant in front of him was not an indiscriminate person.

Initially, Laciel accepted to talk to them. But, if they did it here, it made it a little uncomfortable. Moreover, the woman said something that made her unable to resist.

“So, who spread those baseless rumors?” laciel asked in a cold voice.

“Before, I will introduce myself. I am the first Princess of Count Virmanda, Isabella de Virmanda.” The wavy golden-haired Applicant said. “And he is the Knight who became my bodyguard, Deputy Commander Zirka.” Added.

“My name is Laciel, Adventurer Rank D. This is Hana, the C-rank Adventurer. And the last one is Nadja, my friend who wants to register as an Adventurer.” Laciel introduced his group.

Since his interlocutor was a Noble, at the very least, he had to maintain good manners.

“So, what is the need? And if you may know, who said that slander?” ask Laciel.

“There was someone who gave us that information. Is that true?” Isabella looked at him carefully.

“Because you asked that, this information is not valid, right?” Laciel pressed his shoulders.

“Jawab only my question. Are you really a Devil?” ask Isabella.

“Of course, not.” Laciel replied in a slightly quick tone.

“That is what the disguised Devil will say.” Isabella.

“Then do you think an ordinary man will answer what? Say yes and confess as a demon? Heh, your accusations are unfounded.”

“Actually, there's something else I want to ask you. The question about Devils is because someone said he heard that you are a Devil.” Isabella. His heart was calm as there was no sign of Zirka.

[User is someone who uses magic items and such. Written capital to distinguish from someone who uses ordinary goods or other things.]

“And actually, my subordinates are wearing Truth Necklaces. That way, what you say is not a lie. The question I want to ask is, are you the one who helped us?” isabella asked.

“No,” replied Laciel briefly.

No sign of Zirka. Is he someone else? Think Isabella.

“I didn't help you. My only intention is to hunt Gray Wolf.” Laciel. “You may assume I saved you. But my intention is not so.”

“Then, why did you let the corpse of Gray Wolf just like that?”

“You're asking a lot, yes?” Laciel sighed softly. Tired of being constantly questioned as if being interrogated. “Well, that's my liking.” Added.

“So,” Isabella looks like she's thinking. He also felt bad for accusing his savior, even though he said there was no intention to do so, and had taken up a lot of his time. “Will you be my subordinate? I'll give you a lot of things.” Tawar Isabella's.

Recruiting such a powerful person before him was now an

golden opportunity.

“No need. I don't like being restrained and taken advantage of by others.” Laciel replied in a tinge. He's bored by now. “If there's nothing to talk about, I'll go.” He said as he stood up and stepped out of the room.

“Although you do not have the slightest intention to save us, we are still helped thanks to you. So, I want to thank you very much.” Isabella said and then looked down.

Without heeding it, Laciel left with the two girls behind him.

After some distance, Hana asked, “Hei, Laciel, how do you lie you are not a Devil in front of the Necklace of Truth? You know, even though it is a magic item that is not much and is owned by Nobles, especially those who work in the Field of Law and Court, but the effect cannot be denied even by any magic.” He couldn't help but be curious about the way Laciel could escape the question.

“Actually, I didn't expect that he had such a magic item. What I thought was that he could have a skill that allowed people to know the truth and the lies. And the answer to the way I got away, the answer is very simple. I just need to say something that contains neither truth nor lies.” Laciel was proud.

“A– What do you mean?” asked Nadja when she arrived at the inn room.

With the reason of saving on expenses, even though Hana had a lot of money, Laciel only booked one room. Another reason and the real reason was to talk about the matter earlier and the matter of Nadja who would register as an Adventurer.

“That word is two. In short are words that contain truth or lies, for example are statements, and the other is words that contain neither truth nor lies, and an example is question.” Laciel. “So the point is, in order not to be known to be true or lying, I answer with words that can not be categorized as true or lying.”

“Hmm, what did you say earlier?” ask Hana who is getting curious.

“I said ‘Of course, didn't I?’ instead of answering ‘Of course not.’ So I actually confirmed it, then asked it back as a form of reinforcement. Thus, the word cannot be judged as a lie or not. Even if it is detected whether it is the truth or not, it will not be detectable because it does not contain both.” Obviously Laciel at length times for.

“Ah, I am confused by what you are saying in a circle.” Said Nadja who was posing holding her head.

“Well, the point is that your words are neither true nor false. I see, don't you?” asked Hana who seemed to understand a little.

“Yeah, that's it.”
