Isekai Online's
Chapter 32 - The Demon Queen

Hans could only be speechless seeing the strange reality in front of him.

Sometimes, the figure of the adult has an unusual uniqueness. For example, as with a group of people who call themselves today. Although the outward appearance looks like adults but their attitude is far from the word adult.

That's more in the direction of concern. Hans's views on them also adjusted their degrees. With a look of disdain looking at them, Hans tried not to engage further with them.

Right now, right in front of Hans. People who claim to be adults are lying on the floor while emitting smiles of happiness on their faces. Their bodies were filled with red stains that came from paint bullets.

If you count the number of people left, there are only Hans and Elliot who still survive. Although at this time Elliot's body was filled with sweat that spewed red paint all over his body. This happened after these people brought out their strange ideas and got a strong repellent reaction from their CEO.

It was a pretty harsh rejection by shooting them with paint bullets. If not for such an action, Hans would not have realized how damaged their brains were.

It was a list of proposals that had been submitted and the result was a group of people lying on the floor covered in red paint. Hans could only fall silent and get used to hearing the strangeness of these people.

All of those people fell into the hands of their CEO. Now, the gun he used turned into a machine gun that threw hundreds of paint bullets in one second and it was a special weapon for Elliot.

“Alright, Elliot.You're lucky enough to be last. This weapon is a special weapon only for you. Aren't you happy with this special treatment?”

Looking at the gaze of his eyes that seemed cold and condescending to Elliot, Hans slightly saw the uniqueness of this couple. Seeing Elliot's seemingly calm reaction, Hans understood some things about Elliot that were not being reported. He was already used to getting this kind of treatment and making his body into a professional masochist.

“Oh, so, so this is why” muttered Hans after realizing Elliot and his CEO's relationship.

The CEO also read the file provided by Elliot.

This time lag feels very heavy because of the heavy atmosphere of the room. Hans who had been standing was just silent carried away.

The CEO's eyes went through every sheet of paper received. After he finished reading some of the paper, he picked up the machine gun and fired his ammunition at Elliot.

Elliot simply fell silent to receive that painless attack.

“Your proposal is not bad, but I also want to know it from your mouth. On what basis do we do that?” ask the CEO.

“Ekhem! Let me explain, Your Majesty” replied Elliot.

He suddenly stood up and felt his pocket. He took out a portable data storage and knelt before his superiors. This behavior also got a cynical look from the Queen Order members who witnessed it.

Hans slightly heard a small conversation from them.

“Why do we have a Manager like this?”

“Haaah~ again.”

“This show never bored me, right Rika?”

“Em, correct. Even I'm used to this.”

“Can we go home?”

“Our people why is this all the way?”

“Oh! Hans! Take it easy, events like this are accustomed in this place” Okita a little explain what is happening.

“Well, at least this answers my question why Elliot is like this” Hans replied.

Seeing Okita and Hans seem familiar, the other Queen Order members were curious about their relationship. As far as they knew, they never communicated with Hans and suddenly Okita seemed familiar with Hans.

A sweet smile appeared on their faces.

“Okita, since when are you familiar with Hans?” ask one of the Queen Order members.

“Eng? Last morning” replied briefly Okita.

That short answer of course further provoked their curiosity.

“Everything, watch this!” a saving speech came from a distance. Elliot is in serious mode.

“As we know, Genius Technopreneurship offers unusual cooperation. Inexplicably our CEO agreed to this partnership-“ on the sidelines of the opening, Elliot suddenly got a surprise attack from cigarette ashtray.

Ignoring the cigarette ashtray that left a mark on his face, Elliot continued his presentation, “Specifically we did a collaboration with one of their products, namely a game called Isekai Online. Genius Technopreneurship gives full control to use their products and marketing techniques that bring Isekai Online in it.” Elliot suddenly stops his presentation and shows Hans' character.

“However, this decision is in your hands. You are free to choose what to do like kill monsters, search for plants, explore dungeons, or enjoy the atmosphere offered by Isekai Online” after saying this, Hans feeling becomes unpleasant.

“Such promotion is too ordinary, so I offer you this!” this time, Hans' character is next to the mystery case that was the talk of the Isekai Online Forum.

“Ah! The case!” looking at the screenshot featuring the mystery case, Okita excitedly stood up and pointed at the screen of Elliot's presentation.

Queen Order members also understand Okita's interest in a mystery. However, some still do not want to do things that drain their brains. Monster hunting quests were exhausting, plant searching quests were too boring, Dungeon exploring quests were extremely troublesome, and the last option to enjoy the natural atmosphere could be considered.

“O-Okita, I understand your love for mystery, but.”

“Ah, why should you trust the rumors spread on the internet? Especially in a game?”

“If this thing, it feels a little scary how is it.”

The other Queen Order members expressed little confidence in this decision. Okita who heard it could only be bowed and silent, the self-sacrificing fire spirit was extinguished instantly.

Seeing this kind of condition, Hans who had been silent just now began to enter the direction of their conversation.

“Well, sometimes the rumors that are spread keep their own stories in them. I once solved a case that came from the rumors of Player Isekai Online. And, it happened not for long. If calculated to this minute, it is still not even 24 hours” said Hans.

Elliot, who heard it, rushes to pull Hans' arm and takes him for a presentation together.

“As you have heard, this one detective has solved a case that comes from rumour”, Elliot said.

“Detective?”

“Detective??”

The question of mutual disdain is heard. Hans, who was carried away by this atmosphere, was forced to carry this burden.

“Uh, how to explain it. The case stemming from this rumor is actually a little unique and distorted. The mystery remains unsolved but the victim has been found. Because at that time I was only asked to find victims, some of the evidence collected is still not studied.”

“You really worked hard for this Quest right?” ask Elliot.

“Not really, I just happen to know what is going on.”

From a distance, Okita seemed so enthusiastic to hear it. Hans who noticed Okita who was paying attention to her words also took a deep breath.

“The case started from the Isekai Online Forum where the Player has a complaint about the Scam Quest that is happening lately. I don't know where they found the Quest, but it involved the kidnap that was going on.”

“At first, I asked Will Isaac and Yuuki Saku to help me complete the quest for a missing child. But, that Quest suddenly flourished when Will Isaac and Yuuki Saku destroyed an inn. The innkeeper punished them for finding his missing grandson, which was when the real Quest began. With a few small clues as to the chronology of his grandson's disappearance and basic information regarding the kingdom's geographical state, I found some clues as to the cause of the rumors. Right in that kingdom, a teleportation magic circle was scattered and active at a certain time. Any NPC that walks on it will be instantly sent somewhere.”

“With this important information, I used the same path to get into the kidnapper's place and find the children. If I told you about this incident in detail, it would take all day” Hans said as he closed the story.

Some of the people who heard Hans' story had complicated reactions on their faces. Some seemed to doubt Hans' abilities, but Elliot understood just how terrifying Hans' abilities were.

Elliot fully supports Hans' ability to solve problems. Although it is a problem that occurs in the game, but Elliot believes Hans' ability is more than that. He was Hans' first fan.

“Good story, but that sounds redundant to a game. A little unreasonable if there is a detective who wants to do all that” this remark came from the CEO.

He observed Hans from his appearance and attempted to comment on his appearance.

“Well, it makes no sense if the perpetrator you found turns out to be a Demon” Hans replied.

A slight flash occurred between the two. They watch each other. In the end, a war breaks out between the two of them.

“If you were an adult, you would surely realize how embarrassing your wild imagination is.”

“It's not an imagination! It was a reality that happened based on the evidence I found.”

“That's just imagination arising from your small brain.”

“If so, means a hypothesis created based on the findings of the evidence is the structural imagination?”

“Huh, even for problems like this alone you don't want to budge.”

Hans was at a loss for words, he now glanced at the people still lying on the floor. He rushed to feel their pockets to borrow their cell phones. Some phones were found without lock screen security.

“What are you doing?” asked Elliot who was curious about Hans' behavior.

“Search for additional information” reply Hans busy checking mobile loan.

Hans eyes slowly dived into the abyss of their personal information. Some of their small notes, social media messages, and minor complaints are stored inside their phones.

“Oh, I see, just deserve” said Hans while returning his borrowed phone.

The atmosphere changed slightly when Hans returned beside Elliot.

“Well, I'm no expert arguing with someone 40 times older than me. A part of me still respects people older than my age. For this time, I better give up” Hans words stopped with a smile.

From a distance, Hans noticed the CEO's glare staring intently at him.

“With his age being much older than mine and having some failed romance problems, somehow I feel more guilty to argue with him.”

That sharp gaze turned into a gaze ready to pounce on the prey, yet Hans still remained calm to continue his sentence.

“Failure in love affairs does sound painful, but what happens if the failure occurs due to a silly behavior such as swallowing-“

“ENOUGH!” this heavy and high tone of speech sounded in Hans ears.

The situation between the two is getting hotter.

“For the record, there is no additional imagination about what I said and you know that right? Just like what you thought of the imagination before, it is the reality that happens in the game. I just took a temporary hypothesis from the evidence that I found” said Hans who returned to calm.

“Oh, may I know what it's like to enjoy a Japanese food reception at that extravagant looking wedding?” hans' last words left the CEO before him depressed.

Cold sweat appeared on his forehead, “Since when did they have information about this?”

“Oh, about that, it seems that all your men already know the journey of your love, Hans replied.

There was a temporary silence in the meeting room. Like an open pandora's box, a difficult-to-say aura began to emerge.

“Elliot, can I borrow your phone?” the CEO's orders. Unlike the previously intimidating tone, this time he spoke like everyone else.

Elliot who sensed this unusual aura also trembled violently. His body responds to increasing danger, as his phone increases with the CEO.

The silence grew with the silence of the CEO who walked down Elliot's phone.

“Young man, what's your name, it looks like I owe you something. I didn't expect them to do this to ku” that short, clear, solid remark was only hinting at one thing.

A demon seal that was in this place came loose.

“Uhuhuhuhu!”

“Ihihihihihi!”

The CEO's creepy-sounding little laugh added to the murky atmosphere. The reason for all of this is Hans. He opened a pandora's box that shouldn't have opened.

On this day, precisely in the Demon Queen Palace. A pandora's box opened wide and unleashed a heartbreaking incident their CEO had experienced. A memory of the past that is used as a joke of a group chat.

“Oh, by the way, Elliot is innocent. He never wrote anything in the group. So, don't law Elliot” Hans said.

Elliot who was frightened by the change of his superiors could only take refuge behind Hans' body.

The figure of the Demon Queen who showed her holy horns brought them into the court of hell. The trial that took place at that time was to gather employees who played their superiors in a chat group. The punishment available at that time was the execution of death salaries and employee benefits for three months.

For the first time, Hans was satisfied after opening the gates of hell and touching the pandora box that was inside the Demon Queen's Castle.

“Kurasa, I'm a little addicted to this” said Hans casually.

“Please..my salary life is at stake here!” reply Elliot.
