Broken Sword's
Ch. 40: Paying

The action of chasing each other and pushing saw Baramun passing by. The demon general urged Fang, "Why stay in the room continues. Go out and play."

The black sword that heard Baramun's voice from the direction of the room door returned to its original position, laying on the bed. Shame to be seen to have been rejected by his master.

Grunting, Fang nodded in agreement with Baramun's request and followed the demon general out of the Kuro palace area. "I'll be gone soon."

Baramun was not surprised. "My Raja recorded a lot of spending spent taking care of you during the coma. Just pay and don't owe, he's stingy."

Fang understood and there was not a single other conversation. Baramun glanced at Fang, coughing to draw attention but there was no response. "Don't be too sad."

Comfort words that sound stiff. Baramun's face was red from embarrassment. He was never smart in words, or rather all demons were never smart in saying the phrase consolation.

A short smile, Fang said "I don't."

Ever since he woke up and knew the two most important people in his life had left, Fang was half relieved and regretful. Relieved that Gana and Aira did not need to know and saw that he had to leave the village of Noik sooner or later. Regretting that Fang did not hug his parents for longer.

Kuro who was served in his palace laughed out loud at the performances by the two entertainers who were captured from the Elves.

Two terrified teenage elves continued to try to stand firm on a piece of rope, hoping not to fall from ten meters high.

Fang who was brought in by the servant greeted. Seeing Fang's arrival, Kuro gave a wave to the maid and the floor chair was brought closer to Kuro's seat. "You sit down and watch the show with me."

Not amused at all, Fang just stared like a daydream.

"You don't like it?"

Kuro told everyone to leave. "Stop. You all go!"

Standing up and half bowing to Kuro, Fang thanked him and expressed his desire to leave. "Baramun already explained about your kindness during my coma. Right now there's not much I have to return the favor, but if you want something, as long as I can I'll give it before I leave."

"whatever?" Kuro grinned. Descending from the throne, the demon lord touched Fang's chin. Looking right and left at the small face of the human boy who was not afraid of him.

"your blood. Can I get?"

Kuro's grin is getting wider. "You knew? Can you read it?"

Fang is not a fool. "Sorry, anything else can but blood is impossible."

ckc. This kid seems to be too alert.

Kuro returned to the throne, folding one leg, the left hand into a chin refutation. "Then I want a recipe for longevity rejuvenation. You know?"

Fang's ashes' pupils moved but he didn't lie. "I know, but it's free for you."

"Why?!" Kuro who had just relaxed became ferocious. Its wings spread out and smashed the two pillars on the side of its throne.

"The recipe for longevity rejuvenation needs pure blood given voluntarily by the pure bloodline of the Elves."

Pulling his wings to fold, Kuro hissed hatefully. It is impossible to get it voluntarily! The Elves did not like to be in contact with the demons.

"I don't have anything else I want. Let's just say you're still in debt and will be paid off later."

Fang is uncomfortable. Traveling takes a long time. If this debt is not paid, when he is able and has a lot of great things in his hands, even though he is not willing, as long as Kuro asks because of the debt he still has to give.

"I have two pill refining recipes that you might want. The pill recipe strengthened the divine root and also the refining of level four bones."

Kuro who lost interest returned excited. "Level four?! You have a level 4 bone refining pill recipe?"

Not feeling alone with Kuro, Fang takes out a note of two recipes for Kuro. "There's no need to kidnap people to make them for safety and to maintain this recipe for your own group."

"You fool? The demon race has no witches!"

Who are you calling stupid?!!!

The resentful Fang kept his emotions in check, "Children of your race who were born with weak divine roots, send them to attend the academy, hide their identities."

Kuro's red eyes widened. Yep. Why had he never thought before?!
