Unorthodox Guild

The torture chamber is one of the most heavily guarded and sinister places in the Demon King's castle.

Typically, only those of exceptionally high rank, or those who have committed unforgivable crimes, are brought here to experience the most brutal torture in the world.

.......

"I didn't expect that even after all this, you still wouldn't answer."

The demon, with two small horns on its head and resembling a human girl, sighed silently.

The girl is Vivian, one of the five great generals of the demon race and the most powerful torturer in the Demon King's territory.

but.

Judging from her impatient expression, it seemed she had encountered a difficult problem in her life of interrogation.

"Huff... huff..."

Opposite her was a human girl sitting on the torture chair, panting heavily.

Judging from his silver-white hair, it's easy to tell that this human must be the one who caused so much trouble for the demons on the front lines—the Silver Knight, Noelle.

"It's the same whether you say it now or after I've trained you properly. Why don't you understand?"

"I, I..."

The girl clenched her teeth and gripped the armrests of the torture chair tightly with both hands.

"I'm not going to tell you anything!!"

Clearly, this is a knight with strong convictions.

"..."

"Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson."

Vivian seemed to have run out of patience when she saw that Noelle was not swayed by the pressure.

"Thump, thump, thump."

The footsteps echoed in the small room, sounding exceptionally clear.

The girl said nothing more, but slowly walked towards the silver-haired knight whose hands and feet were bound on the chair...

.........

"Take that thing away from my face...!"

"Hoo hoo hoo, Miss Knight, it's too late to beg for mercy now."

He leaned closer to the girl's face and revealed a playful smile.

"As long as you answer my questions properly."

"Gurgle!"

Noelle's spirit launched a resistance.

"This ice cream is made with an almond cake base, filled with vanilla ice cream, and topped with a slightly caramelized, flambéed layer..."

He leaned close to the girl's ear and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"It's yours."

"..."

"Gurgle..."

Noelle's belly surrendered...

"Wait, what's ice cream?!"

Where's the promised biting? Where's the promised unwavering will?

"Tsk, Yura, I'm interrogating you right now, don't mess around, okay?"

The interrogation was proceeding smoothly when it was interrupted by the voice of another girl.

Vivian shook her head helplessly: "I was about to succeed just now."

"Huh, uh, eh?"

"Torture?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry."

Yura, who had been rebuffed by Vivian, used every single interjection imaginable before timidly apologizing.

"But, but interrogation and such, shouldn't it be even more, even more..."

"What do you mean by 'more' or 'more'? I don't understand."

"If we don't torture people like this, are we supposed to hide in the shadows and use a loudspeaker to ask them questions, then use an electric chair to shock them until they scream in pain if they don't answer? Have you been watching too many trashy movies?"

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry..."

"..."

"Ugh..."

Yura's nose felt a little sore.

"..."

"snort."

"I didn't expect that before Noelle even made a move, your demon race was already in internal strife. You are truly a race with no sense of unity whatsoever."

This unexpected incident seemed to help Noelle regain her senses.

After shaking his head, his eyes regained their knightly gleam.

"As the disciple of the greatest adventurer, I will not let you succeed!"

"How could the Silver Knight Noelle be defeated by a mere dessert..."

Vivian: "Two portions."

Noelle: "Hao."

Yura: "?"

"..."

The black-haired boy, walking back to the guild, suddenly felt a tickle in his nose.

I only lent Elisa a jacket; when did my health deteriorate?

Looking at the white thing beside him, biting his palm, he thought, "Maybe it's because I've been working so hard lately. Looks like I need to take some time to rest."

Anyway, there are new members in the guild, I'll ask Lilia for a leave of absence in a few days.

Kaya thought to herself.

"..."

"Elisa, could you please stop biting my hand?"

"..."

"Waaah..."

Not only did it not loosen its grip, it bit even harder.

"..."

Although it was somewhat impolite, Kaya genuinely suspected that this guy had demi-human blood, the kind of demi-human that barks.

"Meow! Boss meow!"

Lilia, who was standing at the guild entrance, saw the two figures from afar.

Tsk.

I haven't even gotten rid of this dog yet, and now a cat has arrived... Did you run a little too fast, huh?

Watching that purple thing dribbling and speeding towards me.

Kaya cursed under his breath and quickly began chanting an agility spell.

One turn.

"Waaah—"

While flinging Elisa away, he dodged the impact of the unidentified object on Lilia's chest.

He received a rating of 16.0, which is considered top-tier for a jungler.

"Meow, boss, don't run away, meow."

"If I don't dodge, you'll run me over and kill me! Why are you casting a speed-up spell when you're charging at me?!"

Judging from Kaya's heavy breathing, he was clearly startled by Lilia.

"Waaah, Lilia's are so soft, so it won't hurt, meow..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"ah."

Kaya looked up at the sky, which was dyed red by the setting sun.

"Because it's so soft, it won't hurt..."

So that's how it is.

"Thank you, Lilia."

"I misunderstood you before; you are a cat with great wisdom."

"Hey boss, what happened, meow? Never mind, meow."

Shaking her head, the girl put the incomprehensible thing behind her.

Looking at the white-haired girl who had been thrown onto the grass and never got up again:

"Boss and Miss Elisa seem to be getting along quite well today, meow. As expected of the boss, meow."

"..."

"..."

Kaya and Elisa exchanged a glance.

"Waaah... Elisa was violated..."

"You recorded me feeding you!"

"Tch, how despicable."

"..."

Looking at the white thing on the ground and the purple thing in front of him, Kaya felt a strange sense of powerlessness deep inside.

"Well, never mind."

Elisa also contributed to today's monster extermination.

Being captured by a slime is probably because it's your first time being an adventurer and you're not used to it. You should be able to handle it after a few more times.

That's how I comforted myself.

"Let's have dinner together at the guild tonight."

He pulled Elisa up from the ground: "I'll cook, and you can stop making a fuss, Miss Elisa."

"Ugh..."

Looking at the girl who silently held his hand: It seems the stomach really is an emotional organ.

"I don't know what I did."

"Hehe, the boss's cooking skills are really good, Miss Elisa will definitely fall in love with the boss."

"Could you rephrase it in a way that avoids misunderstanding...?"

"But if we're talking about first come, first served, meow. Lilia is the First Lady, meow, and little sister Elisa can only be... meow!"

He got hit on the head.
