The holy sword Artotai stood upright, complaining somewhat boredly, "Without any free entertainment from my lord, I haven't been enjoying my meals lately..."
"Hey, Master Nuomi, what do you think?"
"You're the one named Nuomi! Your whole family is named Nuomi!!"
On the fluffy bed, a young man with a resolute face and blond hair raised his head and said, "My name is Mino!"
"The strongest hero in human history, Mino Rayker!"
Mino's eyes shone brightly, his spine was straight, and his whole body seemed to radiate the light of humanity.
However, the Holy Sword, with its strong anti-fraud awareness, remained completely unmoved.
"Let me count. Besides that old, outdated title, since entering the Demon King's castle, you've also earned the following titles:"
Ignoring Mino's self-introduction, Altottai chirped in the corner:
"Underwear Collector, Rye Bread Traitor, Glutinous Rice, Door-Opening Pervert, The Most Perverted Hero in Human History, The Holy Sword..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Mino rolled out of bed, halting Altottai's momentum.
“It would be impolite to say that again,” Mino said seriously. “Weren’t you wondering why the demons had quieted down? Isn’t the answer obvious?”
"Oh? What is it?" Altottai asked with interest.
"Of course—it's because of my impeccable Torture Body!"
Mino laughed three times and said, "The demons must be hesitant to make a move because they find it too difficult to interrogate me!"
"...Let's talk about that time you were giving a white-haired loli a 'sensory' treatment the other night, shall we?"
Altottai chuckled coldly three times.
For it to believe that a traitorous hero who sleeps late and wakes up late every day, who bows three times to the underwear in the shrine in the morning, who teases the demon maid while eating a heart-shaped omelet rice at noon, and who occasionally plays with a white-haired loli at night... would be so feared and wary of the demons that its name could be written backwards!
"Damn it!" Mino's eyes widened, and she cried out in anguish, "Altoté, you have to believe me!"
"Believe what? Your flawed interrogation of the Holy Body?" Artotai tilted his head.
"You have to think... although I really gave it away for nothing," Mino said sincerely.
"But did I really give it away for nothing?"
"?"
"Every time I give away information, it's based on my strong confidence in my close friends, elders, and acquaintances!"
Amidst laughter and conversation, Mino straightened his back and said, "I'm just asking you, have the demons ever been effective with the intelligence they've given us for free?!"
"If it really worked, they'd probably be jumping up and down bragging by now!" Mino said proudly.
"Besides, I never succumbed to their torture."
"It was given away for free!"
"Hey!" For a moment, Altottai questioned his existence: "What's so great about this?"
"Yes, of course!" Mino's eyes shone like stars as he shouted, "My Torture Body has never been defeated, and its record is verifiable! And what about you?"
"The traitor's holy sword!"
Altothai's body trembled, and the swordsman shrank back weakly: "This... isn't it all for you, my lord? If it were you, my lord, facing such 'terrifying' interrogation, you would definitely confess too."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Mino, who was gradually gaining the upper hand in the conversation, raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly.
"Within this Demon King's castle, there is no torture by any demon I cannot withstand!!!"
Mino is still jumping around.
A faint memory seemed to want to pop up and remind him of something, but it was forgotten before it could even register in his mind.
"Really?"
A crisp sound rang out from the doorway.
Mino turned his head and saw a stunningly beautiful girl with two horns and bare feet standing by the door... Dead memories suddenly flooded back.
The smile froze on her lips.
Chapter 91 The Twenty-Second Day of the Freebie Calendar (Seeking First Subscription)
"Hmph! A lowly hero!"
With her hands on her hips, the demon girl dressed in Lolita fashion demanded, "Do you remember who I am?"
Mino's body began to tremble. How could he possibly forget that devilish figure, that devilish face...
"It's you," Mino said in a deep voice.
"Bull Demon, Moo Fruit!"
"It's the horned demon Migo! You idiot! Why can't you even remember my name?!" Migo stomped his foot angrily.
"This devil, calm down. It's normal to forget," Altottai muttered from the corner.
"After all, our lord can't even distinguish his own name anymore..."
"What the hell???"
"Enough!" Migo snapped, putting one hand on her hip and pointing a finger at Mino: "You lowly warrior, now I'm going to interrogate you!"
"What?!" Mino's face turned pale as she recalled the painful memory of being tortured in the past.
"Hmph, scared now~" Satisfied with Mino's reaction, Migo proudly raised her little neck. Just as she was about to speak, she found that Mino had disappeared.
With a click, the sound of the cell door unlocking came from behind. Migo turned around and saw Mino crouching outside the cell, in a sprinting stance.
"I'm running!"
With a radiant and righteous expression, Mino bravely took off running.
With a sudden burst of powerful force, his legs shot out like an arrow. Mino felt the walls on either side rushing past him, as if he were flying. The wind whistled past his cheek, and then…
He was flung back onto the bed by a large hand formed from spiritual energy.
"Why did you run away?!" Migo puffed out her cheeks, seemingly unconvinced. "Is my interrogation really that unpopular?!"
"Gulp." With her last chance to escape gone, Mino lay on the bed, her face ashen.
Mino painfully closed her eyes, and two clear tears slid down her cheeks:
"...Just kill me."
"Hey! What's with that look on your face that says you're about to be defiled?!" Migo's face flushed with anger. She loosened her grip on Mino, bit her lip, and said aggrievedly:
"Don't worry, that kind of torture last time was quite a burden for me... so this time I've changed to a different method—"
The voice just fell.
"Heh, why didn't you say so earlier?" Mino sat up resolutely, a calm smile playing on his lips. "Bring on the torture of a mere demon!"
"Your face changes faster than a VIP at a brothel!" Altotai exclaimed in shock.
Mino felt relieved, her expression relaxed and carefree. As long as her embarrassing diary wasn't dug up, there was nothing to fear.
His back gradually arched, radiating arrogance:
"Once I escape my own weakness, then I am—invincible!"
"You'd better go die first!!!" Artotai's eyes widened: "What happened to the torture of the Holy Body? Running away is shameful but useful, huh?!"
"By the way," Mino smiled and tilted her head to look at Migo:
"What kind of torture method are you going to use? It must be the most cruel and oppressive, the kind of physical torture that plunges people into endless torment."
Mino gave a thumbs up: "Just by looking at your arrogant face, I can tell you must be a rising star in the world of torture, an elite in the world of insults!!!"
"Oh." Migo paused slightly, then touched her twin ponytails on her shoulder somewhat embarrassedly: "Y-it's not that amazing..."
"Since you've asked so sincerely, then this great demon will give you a simple demonstration—"
A gentle, breeze-like ripple of spiritual energy spread across the area, accompanied by pure magic. Migo closed her eyes slightly.
A pure white crystal appeared in the center of her forehead, exuding a captivating aura.
As the crystal appeared, a layer of fluorescent spiritual energy film appeared all over Migo's body, extending outwards and wrapping around her snow-white and clean ankles.
As a member of the Horned Demon clan who delves into the spiritual realm, Migo has always subconsciously enveloped her body with spiritual power. With the activation of the crystal at the source of power on her forehead, her outline clearly materialized at this moment... allowing Migo to further utilize her abilities.
“This time it won’t be so complicated. I just need to activate the white crystal to bring out the memories you least want to recall, project them onto the scene…”
Migo began her presentation with great enthusiasm, secretly giving herself a boost.
This time, we must find the key clues and find out how the contract with Mino was broken!
She turned her head expectantly, only to find that Mino on the bed had disappeared.
Migo turned around, and at the cell door, Mino once again assumed a charging stance: "Mud..."
"Why are you running away from me?!"
Migo angrily grabbed Mino and dragged her back onto the bed.
Mino's eyes widened, and she struggled violently, screaming in agony:
"No way! Reading it aloud is scary enough! You want me to see it too?! You're a demon! You must be a demon!"
"I am a demon!"
Migo said angrily, "This is a big challenge for me too, okay? Stop struggling!"
"I've already set up a mental barrier on this floor. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you!"
Mino was taken aback.
The next moment, he screamed in agony, "Damn it!"
"Roaring throat!!!"
In the corner, Altotai raised the tip of his sword and gloated as he carved words into the corner: "On the twenty-second day of the White Gift Calendar, facing the interrogation of the horned demon Migo, Mino had nowhere to escape. His face turned ashen, and he trembled like a leaf, wishing his parents had given him two more legs!"
Migo's forehead was covered in black lines: "That's enough!!!"
Whether Mino liked it or not, she took a step forward, went to the bedside, and pushed Mino down onto the bed.
The bed glowed around its four sides, and four mental barriers slowly rose, enveloping the two in a sealed space. Migo felt Mino become docile beneath her and nodded in satisfaction: "The ability is already activated. As long as we don't leave this area, the projection of our minds will continue to appear..."
