The Abandoned Saint Became the Snack Attendant for the Childish Demon King – Chapter 61

“Search for the woman the Hero promised to marry, is it?”

Tyran, who was suddenly called during snack time, was displeased. Nevertheless, knowing that there might be a reason, he hurriedly came.

Upon learning that it was for the purpose of searching for the Hero’s lover, his mood worsened even more.

“Tyran knows that she was an apprentice saint at the capital’s church, right? That girl suddenly disappeared.”

“She was kidnapped? I heard there were frequent thefts, but I never expected it to escalate to kidnapping.”

“We don’t know if it’s a kidnapping.”

“What do you mean?”

After being informed of the details, he is left dumbfounded. He doesn’t have the energy to get angry. He started to get a headache, wondering if he was called for something like this.

For Tyran, it may be “something like that,” but for the country, it seems to be a major issue to the extent of recalling a demoted wizard.

The high-ranking officials who demoted Tyran all bowed their heads, saying, “Please lend us your strength.”

It seems like a ridiculous sight, but there is a strong determination and fatigue that won’t be returned until he lend a hand. They have already tried everything they could, but couldn’t figure out what to do, so they called Tyran.

The other party is a human. Moreover, an apprentice saint.

Although the reasons are unknown, it is negligent for the palace’s wizards to collectively fail to find her.

But the most troublesome part is that quite a long time has passed since the girl disappeared.

Why now? If they had acted sooner, there would have been no need to summon Tyran. 

I want to complain to the Hero, but he seems quite distraught.

“I wrote a letter as soon as I returned.”

“She should have been waiting for me.”

“Why isn’t she at the church or the village?”

“Why does no one know…?”

He mutters to himself at the corner of the room.

Suddenly, as if he had come up with something, he stands up and is calmed down by his companions. It repeats like that.

Honestly, I want him to leave because he’s distracting.

But they’re doing their best to keep him in the castle until the one-year anniversary of the peace treaty. 

Yet, they give Tyran an annoying gaze, as if warning him not to say anything unnecessary.

We have been traveling together for three years. I know he’s not a bad guy.

Tyran and the Hero have different perspectives.

The reason they called Tyran after two months of the search starting must be because they anticipated that Tyran would confront the Hero with cutting words.

I don’t intend to get involved with such a troublesome person. The search is the priority now.

If she disappeared of her own accord, that’s fine, but if there is a possibility of an incident, it’s best to find her as soon as possible.

I spread magical power not only within the country but also to neighboring countries and the surrounding areas.

Search magic consumes a large amount of magical power and mental energy. I recover with the potions and snacks I received, but the consumption rate is high.

If it weren’t for the vest I was given and the strong desire to return to the Demon King’s Castle quickly, I might have collapsed along the way.

But even after exhausting myself, I couldn’t find the girl I was looking for. 

I believe I have searched all the places where it is possible to search. The only places I haven’t searched are countries that have no interaction with us. She might be in a remote area or an island country, or someone might be hiding her.

Either way, it is currently impossible to conduct further searches. We need to make arrangements with other countries.

If only we could remove the search interference magic that was cast, which was said to have been set up at the church, the search would be easier.

But the fact that it was powerful and left untouched for nearly a year becomes a barrier.

If we had started moving within a month of it being cast, not only could we have lifted the search interference magic, but we could have also narrowed down the range of the search magic.

“It was something important, I should have treated it with more care. No matter what the circumstances were, once it lost its original value, it slipped through my fingers.”

During our journey, Tyran has conveyed similar words to the Hero many times. But the Hero just keeps saying that everything will be fine and doesn’t try to understand Tyran’s words.

I wonder how the letter, the first one sent since the peace treaty was established, was received by the girl who became an apprentice saint in the capital.

The days of just waiting are painful.

I didn’t want Dairy to become like the Hero, so I forced a letter-set on her.

She seems to be pondering in front of the stationery, but she still writes a letter every month. Recently, her face has become brighter when handing over the envelope.

I still don’t know why Olivier sent her to the Demon Realm. 

However, her presence, which I initially thought was just troublesome, gradually grew larger within me, and now I even think it’s natural to be together.

The snacks that I used to reluctantly accept in the past now feel empty without them.

“I wish I could have eaten more donuts…”

Muttering softly, my mouth craves for sweetness. There are no more snacks that she gave me to take with me. I finished them quickly.

Will I be able to have them fried for me when I return?

It doesn’t have to be donuts. I want to enjoy the snacks she makes and savor the leisurely flowing time.

That is Tyran’s precious time. A time that I don’t want to let go of.

Remembering life at the Demon King’s Castle, I stand up.

“There’s no point in staying here. I’ll go back once.”

After all, I can easily come back with teleportation magic. Whether I wait in the human realm’s castle or at the Demon King’s Castle, it’s the same thing. And if it’s the same, then the Demon King’s Castle is definitely better.

The human realm without Master and Olivier feels suffocating.

I feel that way even more because I have experienced a place that accepts Tyran as just Tyran.

In order to return to a place where warm welcomes await, Tyran strides through the royal castle.

Contrary to the fatigue accumulated in my body, my steps are very light.
