Episode 8
‘They say that even if you go into a tiger’s den, if you keep your wits about you, you will survive.’
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes lit up brightly.
‘I survive.’
The road to the Demon King’s Army’s 3rd Corps headquarters.
For the past few days, Choi Hyun-seok has been desperately trying to pull himself together.
‘You’ve succeeded in gaining Raidrun’s favor. Why wouldn’t you be able to do the same with other Demon Kings? Whether it’s the commander of the legion or the Demon King, you can capture them all.’
It’s okay to look mean.
You can rub your hands and feet together.
All you have to do is survive somehow.
Then, one day, the opportunity will come.
‘Hehehe… I won’t give up…!’
My head was filled with thoughts like, “I’m going to have a sweet romance with a blonde beauty, have a bunch of rabbit-like children, and then spend my old age watching my grandchildren run around in a fancy mansion!”
It was when Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes sparkled with a strange madness.
“Wake up, warrior. We must defeat the Demon King first!”
Rachel, who was sitting on Choi Hyun-seok’s shoulder, whispered.
Then Choi Hyun-seok looked at Rachel with a serious expression.
“Can’t I live happily?”
“yes…?”
“Can’t I live happily?”
“…”
“Can’t I be happy? This f*cking world! Why are you only picking on me!?” “Hey, hero… The Demon King’s army will hear you. Speak up…” “Yeah, right, okay, aah!?”
Choi Hyun-seok shouted, foaming at the mouth.
‘I’m completely crazy…’
I can’t understand what you’re saying.
It’s like seeing a crazy demon.
Rachel nodded with a forced smile.
“Yeah… haha…! That’s right… .”
Then suddenly Rachel disappeared.
At the same time, a head suddenly popped into the carriage.
“Choi Hyun-seok. What’s going on?”
It was a small-headed raid.
Choi Hyun-seok smiled brightly as if he had never been serious before.
“I’m so happy to see you, Commander, I can’t contain myself. Haha! I apologize for the noise.” “It’s certainly an honor to meet you, Commander.”
“That’s right!”
“The Legion Headquarters is not far away now. You will be able to see the Legion Commander soon, so don’t be too impatient.”
“Yes! I understand!”
“Then just rest.”
When his business was over, Raidran returned to the front of the carriage.
Choi Hyun-seok breathed a sigh of relief.
“Whew… I almost ended up being a bachelor again this time.”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.
To waste two lives without ever dating?
It’s a terrible thing to even imagine.
“Hero. Look over there!”
Rachel reappeared and pointed somewhere.
“What is it?”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at where her little finger was pointing.
“Are you an adult…?”
Since when has this been happening?
There stood a huge black castle.
‘It seems to be ten times larger than the Hemorran Fortress…’
Maybe it’s more than that.
It was a castle so large that it made one lose sense of distance.
Even as Choi Hyun-seok stared blankly, the giant black castle grew larger and larger.
They gradually got closer to the castle, and finally someone shouted loudly.
“We are now approaching the 3rd Corps Headquarters!”
Arrived at the headquarters of the Demon King’s 3rd Army Corps.
***
This world was a place of much greater scale than I had expected.
The 3rd Corps headquarters looked like a city surrounded by huge walls.
A majestic castle towers in the center.
After entering, Choi Hyun-seok stood in front of a large door made of antique black wood.
“Choi Hyun-seok. The corps commander is inside here.”
“yes.”
“Be careful not to commit any offense. If you don’t value your life, that is.” “I will keep that in mind.”
What a rude remark.
That will never happen.

Choi Hyun-seok was ready to wiggle his toes if the commander wanted.
Of course, it is questionable whether the Demon King’s Army Commander would want that.
dripping.
Raidrun knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
The voice coming from inside was surprisingly quite beautiful.
To use a crude metaphor, it is a sweet voice that sounds like rolling jade beads.
Squeak…
The black, antique door opens.
Finally, the owner of the voice appeared.
Thump…!
Choi Hyun-seok felt his heart beating fast.
‘pretty…’
The woman in front of me was standing with her back turned.
Even though it was clearly a back view, her beauty could not be hidden.
Black hair that flows down to the waist.
Beneath it, a curvaceous and voluptuous body moved as if to seduce him.
‘It might be okay even if she’s not a blonde beauty…’
Normally, Rachel would have responded with, “What the hell are you talking about here!?” but it was quiet.
It seemed like he was being cautious in front of the commander.
“Commander Hemis.”
Raidrun called the legion commander.
Then the beautiful woman turns around.
‘Let’s be calm. No matter how pretty she is, she is still the commander of the Demon King’s army. We must be prepared to flatter her at any time… .’
Choi Hyun-seok, who was thinking, opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Commander Hemis turns around.
Because her entire face was covered with a giant mouth.
“…”
A huge mouth with a long vertical slit.
Inside, sharp teeth were wriggling.
“Raidrun. Are you here?”
The beautiful… no, the big-lipped monster spoke.
“Meet the Commander.”
Raidrun bowed his head and took the example.
“Oh my! Why are you doing such a thing between us? Hahaha.”
The lip monster laughs, covering his mouth with his hand.
Even so, it didn’t even cover half of her huge lips.
“Raidrun. Your muscles have gotten more muscular since I last saw you.” “The commander has become more beautiful.”
Raidrun spoke in a voice that felt out of place.
‘What the…’
Choi Hyun-seok watched the situation, holding back his spit.
“Didn’t the Hemorn fortress fall this time?” “I’m sorry. I’m ashamed.” “No. It wasn’t Raidrun’s fault. It was the stupid 8th Division Commander’s mistake.”
In that moment, a fierce aura emanated from the lip monster Hemis.
An enormous magical force, like a giant tidal wave, engulfed my entire body.
‘Soo, I can’t breathe…’
Choi Hyun-seok barely managed to come to his senses, panting heavily.
“8th Division Commander. That crocodile head came back alive without any shame?”
“…”
“So I’m thinking of making it into a leather bag. These days, crocodile head bags are popular. Haha.”
Hemis laughed, saying something that was hard to tell whether he was joking or serious.
At the same time, the suffocating feeling disappears.
Choi Hyun-seok was sweating profusely.
‘If you move one finger, you die.’
Even Raidrun is an untouchable monster.
That legion commander named Hemis felt like an alien from a completely different dimension.
‘At first glance, it looks like something that would make even an alien faint.’
But the real shock was yet to come.
“Raidran. Have you heard the news?” “What kind of news are you talking about…” “The Demon King’s pet dog recently gave birth to puppies.” “Yes. I heard the rumor. It’s something to celebrate.” “So there was a minor quarrel among the legion commanders over who should get the puppies.”
In an instant, Hemis’s huge lips are torn apart.
I think he was smiling.
“I won! You have no idea how cute this is. Want to see it?”
Raidrun nodded.
And the sight that followed was beyond imagination.
Oh my god!
The lips on Hemis’ head grew to about 2m in size, and a black dog as big as a tiger emerged from within.
“Look at this! Isn’t it so cute?” “This is definitely a pet that the Demon King would cherish. Even though he’s just a puppy, he’s noble.” “The name’s ‘Bobo’!” “Bobo… That name conveys a strong sense of power.” “That’s right. As expected, Raidran is a talkative person!”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was listening to their conversation, felt like he was going crazy.
‘That’s not important right now!’
How come they are so peaceful?
‘A baby the size of a tiger came out of a person’s mouth! Oh, not a person. Anyway, the lips just stretched out… No! How did something so huge fit into that small body!? And that’s a baby? Even a baby elephant would be smaller than that!’
There are so many things to tackle that I don’t know where to start.
‘Sigh, I don’t know…’
In the end, Choi Hyun-seok decided to keep his mouth shut.
At that moment, Hemis’ gaze turned to Choi Hyun-seok.
No, since Hemis can’t see her eyes, should we say that her lips were directed at Choi Hyun-seok?
“By the way, Raidrun. Who is that human?” “It’s the human named Choi Hyun-seok that I reported to you about last time.” “Oh, that smart human?”
The armless Raidrun had already finished bragging about Choi Hyeon-seok to the legion commander.
“Yes. This time, I brought you here to officially enlist in the Demon King’s army.” “Oh my… A talent chosen by Raidrun. Are you looking forward to it?”
Hemis approached Choi Hyun-seok.
“I like that you have a cute face and nice muscles.”
Cute face.
Baby muscles.
These are all words that are completely distant from Choi Hyun-seok.
“Oh, Commander, you have really beautiful lips too.” “Oh my!? Really?”
Hemis thrust his face in.
Choi Hyun-seok forced a smile while sweating profusely.
‘Hey, save me…’
It felt like those huge lips were going to swallow me up at any moment.
“Thank you, even if it’s just empty words!”
Fortunately, Hemis moved away again, and Choi Hyun-seok breathed a sigh of relief.
“But Raidran. No matter how much I like this human, it’ll be a little difficult, right?” “Is it really that difficult to accept him from the Demon King’s army?” “No. Accepting him from the Demon King’s army isn’t difficult. It’s not the first time this has happened.”
“then…”
Raidran stroked his chin as if he had guessed something.
“Yes. Even if the Demon King’s army accepts me, will this human be able to endure it?”
Hemis’s questions were justified.
The slave unit that Choi Hyun-seok originally belonged to was also part of the Demon King’s Army, but it was not a direct combat unit.
All slaves are the property of the Demon King.
“Anyone who dares taste the Demon King’s wealth will have their mouths ripped open.”
In the fortress, due to the threat of Raidrun, the Demon King’s army did not lay a hand on the slaves.
But the place we will go from now on is different.
The real Demon King’s army fighting humans.
Can Choi Hyun-seok survive in a group that eats humans as snacks when they’re bored?
“I guarantee you won’t last even a day, let alone a week?” “That’s right. But I trust Choi Hyun-seok.”
“okay…?”
Hemis looked at Raidrun with a look of surprise.
He who is called the Red Nightmare believes in humans.
It was a sight that was difficult to accept.
“Choi Hyun-seok has outstanding commanding ability. Although his military power is weak now, he will soon become a strong force.” “Why do you think so?” “I plan to train him myself.”
Choi Hyun-seok was surprised by Raidrun’s words.
‘The little guy is going to educate himself!?’
Hemis was also surprised.
That red nightmare Raidrun wants to teach humans.
It was to the point where I began to doubt whether they were really the demons I knew.
“Raidrun. You’re the one who’s stepping forward. You must really like that human, don’t you?” “Choi Hyunseok is a human, but I know that he’s the man who’s more suited to the Demon King’s Army than anyone else.” “That’s right…”
In that moment, Hemis’ lips are torn apart.
“Is this making me feel bad for no reason?”
Choi Hyun-seok felt it instinctively.
I don’t know for sure, but I feel like things are going badly.
“If Raidrun says so, then we have to accept it.”
“thank you.”
“But, direct education is not allowed.”
“yes?”
“We Raidrun shouldn’t let a mere human waste our time. I have other requests to make.”
“…”
Hemis approached Choi Hyun-seok.
And then slowly caresses Choi Hyun-seok’s chest.
“Instead, I will take care of you separately.”
“…”
“Since Raidrun is a person that I especially cherish, I should also pay special attention to him!”
Every time Hemis’s hand touches my skin, goosebumps run through my whole body.
‘Don’t worry about that!’
I feel like blowing up all the little head Raidruns and lip monster Hemis.
Oh, of course, that’s just how I feel.
Choi Hyun-seok is a man who knows how to survive.
“It is an honor for our family that the Commander has taken special care of us! Haha!”
Choi Hyun-seok shouted as if he was so happy that he didn’t know what to do.
“Okay, okay. From now on, you will be assigned to be my dog keeper.”
“yes?”
Dog breeder.
When it comes to pet dogs, it was clear that he was referring to Bobo, panting next to Hemis.
It’s a giant dog(?) that looks like it could chew up a tiger.
‘You want me to grow that?’
The only animals Choi Hyun-seok has ever raised are two pet hamsters that he received as a gift when he was in elementary school.
‘It seems like it would go in as a snack, not a keeper…’
If it were Hemis, he would just laugh it off even if he were eaten.
‘Oh my! How can our little cutie have such a good appetite? She looks just like me! Hohoho!’ – she said.
Really, it was certain.
“Why are you looking like that? Do you hate it?”
For a moment, Hemis’s large lips distorted subtly.
Choi Hyun-seok, who realized his mistake, smiled urgently.
“How could that be! I was just worried that a human like that would dare to take care of such a dignified and manly Bobo!” “Oh my, you speak so beautifully! That’s right. Our little cutie is indeed dignified and manly.”
Hemis pursed her large lips in satisfaction.
“By the way, our Bobo is still growing, so he has a big appetite. So, we need to make sure he gets plenty of snacks.” “I’ll keep that in mind!”
“That’s right. If you’re not careful, you might end up as a snack too.”
“…”
“It’s also a job to assign how much the zookeepers eat every time. I don’t know who I take after to have such a good appetite? Ohohoho!” “I think I take after the beautiful and wonderful commander!” “Is that so? Ohohohoho!” “Of course! Hahahaha!”
A tear fell from Choi Hyun-seok’s eye as he smiled with Hemis.
