The 0th Corps Commander Became Trash! [ TCF x INTKOT ]

Chapter 23 - A slight change in the persona

Deon walked into the library once again, looking for the spot he found the books about the divine beings and their saints once again.

"W-Welcome Sir Arut!"

The demons immediately rose up from their seats. They couldn't afford to disrespect the Zeroth Corps Commander again like last time. Last time that had happened they were scolded by the Demon King immediately after Sir Arut had left.

Deon said nothing as he rushed over to the information section and immediately grabbed the nearest book he could find.

Flipping through the pages with inhumane speed, Deon started heating up while recording book after book. He unbuttoned the first few buttons as he continued to record the pages.

After a few minutes, Deon had finally found a book that seemed to contain enough information. Just as he was about to grab the book he could hear the door to the library slam open.

"I-Is Sir Arut here?!"

He could hear Ben calling out for him, asking every demon that was in the library. Hearing this, Deon immediately took a handkerchief and wiped his forehead, getting rid of any evidence of him heating up. Well, if you ignored his flushed cheeks that made him look like a sick patient.

'I'll just wait until I cool down and then I'll come out.'

Deon waited until he felt cooler and came out of the section of the library he was at.

"You were calling for me Ben?"

"Sir Arut, are you alright?! The necklace started glowing a lot!"

"I'm fine?"

Why wouldn't he be fine? It was just a recoil from using his record ability. It's not he was going to die or something, right...?

'Yeah, there's no way I'll end up in a near death situation.'

If he played his cards right, he should have an overwhelming victory. After all, he only does something if he knows that he'll win overwhelmingly against Starbe.

Deon walked back to his room with Ben who was still concerned over his health, after all he did just witness the necklace that was monitoring Deon's health glow brighter than usual.

However while Ben was stressing over Deon, Deon was thinking about the mission the Demon King would make him go on along with Devilania. There could be a chance that he wouldn't if he didn't go to the party.

'It'll be bad if I have to meet Oelle too... She asks a lot of questions about the human realm.'

It's not that it was horrible meeting her, she just was way too curious about the human world and since he was the only human in the Demonic Realm she could only ask him about human related stuff.

'I should be able to take them out with my ancient powers so it won't be that much of a big deal.'

He just needed to make sure he doesn't puke blood in front of everyone or else they'll freak out.

"Oh, Sir Arut. Here you are I was looking for you this whole time."

"Dame Devilania. Did something happen?"

Deon could hear what was about to come out of the Second Corps Commander's mouth however, he wished he couldn't hear what Devilania had just said.

"Yes, his majesty asked me to bring you along to visit the second city with me."

"I see... I guess I'll have to pack up then." My poor slacker life... I will definitely retire once this is all over!

Deon mentally cried to himself (again) about the misfortunes in his life. He wished he reincarnated as a side character who had no relevance to the plot.

Sorry guys I was a little tired so i forgot to upload this chapter 😅...!

I honestly didn't know how to describe how Devilania re-tailored Deon's uniform. I just refuse to add images mid story because it feels so wrong but this was where i got the inspo from....
