The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

238 – Scene 238# Holding Hands

*

Maykahel University Hospital.

As its name suggests, it is affiliated with the renowned Maykahel University, and as its name suggests, this hospital is home to the best therapists in the empire.

This place, which was at the forefront of fighting diseases by researching and creating numerous healing techniques, was in fact a hospital owned by the Ruelberta family, despite the fact that it was a university-affiliated hospital.

Unlike Maykahel University, which was built under the imperial command to create the best university in the empire, the University Hospital was built for the needs of the Ruelberta family.

In addition, enormous amounts of money were being poured into operating hospitals and training therapists.

Therefore, the status of the Ruelberta family within the hospital was bound to be very high.

Even when I was hospitalized the other day, I remember being quite bothered by the therapists coming to greet me, the head of the Ruelberta family.

So this time, I stopped the carriage a little away from the hospital and walked.

Thanks to this, Wendy, who knows nothing, doesn’t even know that she will go to the hospital as soon as she gets off the carriage.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked around the surrounding restaurant.

Anyone can see how much she is looking forward to this meal out.

But as she passed her restaurants one by one and got closer and closer to the hospital, her bright expression began to harden. In the meantime, she seemed to not have thoughts of doubting me, so she just tilted her head.

It wasn’t until she finally entered the hospital’s front door that Wendy hesitated and opened her mouth.

“Uh… Count?”

“… Why do you do that?”

“Didn’t we say we were going to eat something called pork cutlet? This is the hospital… I think so… ?”

“…”

“Ah! Bye, I guess it’s a restaurant inside the hospital… ?!”

“…”

“Huh… Why, why aren’t you saying anything? I’m so scared…”

“There is nothing to be afraid of.”

I held Wendy’s hand tightly as she began to tremble due to her anxiety.

In reality, it was an action to keep her from running away, but the moment I held her hand, Wendy’s trembling stopped.

“Huh… Yes…”

Her face turned bright red and she lowered her head.

It was rather fortunate. Because I couldn’t bear to look at her face because of her guilt for deceiving her.

Anyway, Wendy, who was infinitely naive, seemed to have tried to trust me until the moment I entered her dental office.

However, her faith was shattered when she saw the chairs and equipment prepared for treating cavities.

“Ship, Count… ?”

“…”

Sorry. Wendy. Blame me.

The good news was that the treatment didn’t take as long as expected.

In fact, I thought about leaving Wendy in the care of the therapists who treated her with courtesy and waiting while drinking tea, but I couldn’t.

Because Wendy didn’t let go of my hand

Not only that, he was looking up at me with big eyes that looked like tears were about to fall.

Wendy was shaking so much that I thought she might collapse if I shook off her hand.

‘I can’t help it…’

She did nothing but hold Wendy’s hand until her treatment was completed.

The dental office in this world I looked around while waiting for her treatment. She was quite calm.

Of course, unlike in real dentistry, there was no eerie sound like the drill rotating.

If I were to compare it, it feels like a neatly organized laboratory. Since it is a worldview that uses magical techniques for treatment, there were papers with magic techniques drawn on them everywhere rather than creepy surgical equipment.

At first glance, it seemed like the tooth was being treated by engraving the magic spell into the teeth and activating it. A world with magic is definitely comfortable.

However, when I thought about it, I realized that it might seem like a scary place from Wendy’s perspective.

It is highly unlikely that she, who is not one of the noble children, would have ever used a hospital like this. So this place can only feel like a strange and unknown space.

Even after her treatment was over and she left the hospital, Wendy didn’t let go of my hand.

“Hi…”

Wendy struggles to swallow her cries.

She must have been scared.

Her chest throbbed for no reason.

No matter how mentally disciplined I was with ‘pride’ and ‘patience’, I couldn’t help but feel guilty at this moment.

I muttered even though no one told me to.

“… It was a necessary process. “If treatment was delayed, it would have gotten worse.”

As she said this, it occurred to her that it might sound like an excuse. My cheeks became itchy from embarrassment.

I looked at Wendy as she bent down on one knee. I felt like if I did this, my sincerity would be conveyed a little.

“Wendy. She told the truth and then lied because she thought you would be scared. As I said before, treatment was absolutely necessary.”

“… Yes? “Eh?”

“However, it was my mistake not to understand your feelings. Apart from the treatment, I betrayed you who trusted me. There might have been a better way, but I ended up hurting you.”

“I don’t think it’s okay to get hurt!”

Wendy started and interrupted me.

“I… She is a coward and a crybaby. If she had told the truth as the Count said, she would not have received treatment. Oh… ! The Count did nothing wrong. Instead, you healed me. So please wake up … !”

“Wendy…”

“I-I’m truly sorry! Even though the Count was busy, he took me to the hospital… !”

It’s me who feels sorry for lying, but Wendy says she’s sorry.

Considering her age, she might be able to complain or whine …

The difference in social status may have played a part in the fact that she did not complain at all to me, but the biggest reason was probably her nature.

If you think about it, Wendy was this kind of child.

A girl who was born into a very poor farming family and grew up early. A good-natured girl who takes on hardships as they come, but has never once blamed others, let alone society.

I’ve known her for quite some time, but I’ve never seen her angry.

Wendy’s personality ‘unhappy’ is literally an unlucky personality that becomes unhappy due to external factors regardless of her will and effort.

Usually, if you have this type of personality, you are bound to become filled with resentment toward the world and others.

Because it’s too painful to find the reason for all my unhappiness only in myself. We have no choice but to live by blaming and hurting others.

At least, if you are a human, you can’t help but do that.

But this foolish girl did not just blame herself for all of her misfortune, she chose to get hurt herself rather than hurt others.

Wendy wiped away the tears from her eyes.

“Look, look! I’m okay now! My teeth don’t hurt and I’m fine! It’s thanks to the Count… Hehe…”

When she saw Wendy smiling brightly, her heart ached.

How nice is she?

This is why you die after being bullied by Tristan in the original story…

Until that moment when she was killed by Tristan, she believed that she had done it on her own…

“Huh?! Ship, Count?!”

By the time she noticed, I had already hugged Wendy.

I was so upset for no reason.

There was no need to get emotional over such a trivial matter.

For some reason, I really wanted to say this.

“Stop blaming yourself now.”

“Yes… ?”

Without even knowing why, Wendy’s eyes were trembling as she was held in my arms.

Also, she looks like she is thinking deeply about what she did wrong.

A ridiculously gentle and foolish girl.

But that’s why it was infinitely lovely.

I said as I released the hug.

“Wendy. I will give you the second prize. “Is there something I can do?”

“Yes? Uh… Even though I’m not first place… ?”

“Okay.”

“Well, even with the hug you just gave me…”

“I did that because I wanted to hug you, not you.”

“Yes?!”

“Say it quickly. “I want to listen to anything now, so this is your chance.”

“Yeah, but… He also gave me treatment…”

“I did that because I wanted to. So it is invalid.”

“Ugh…”

If I say this, Wendy can’t help it.

After contemplating for a while whether she was making a wish for something great, Wendy finally opened her mouth.

“Sure… Oh… Please hold my hand just for today…”

“… “Hands?”

My eyebrows narrowed without me knowing.

Then Wendy’s eyes shook.

“Can you hold on to it?” ? Hmm…”

“No. This…”

“Oh, if that doesn’t work, it’s okay to just stay next to me…”

I’m not saying it can’t be done, it’s just that it’s so ridiculous…

All I want is to hold hands all day…

No…

I looked at Wendy quietly.

The main character, Peter’s younger brother, and an extra with no role in the original work. However, now that Peter is gone, the girl has emerged as the most likely Hero candidate.

If Wendy becomes a warrior, she will be able to cross her sword with me, who has become the Demon King.

Now, facing such a harsh fate, I was absurdly worried about this girl who would become a hero.

I am worried about the future and whether this foolish child will be able to do his part by becoming a warrior. At this point, she even started to think that she might have to take care of him even if she became the devil.

“Well, I’m sorry for asking you too much…”

“Could it be unreasonable?”

I held Wendy’s hand tightly.

“It’s very late for dinner. Then, let’s go quickly.”

“Yes! “Let’s go eat pork cutlet.”

“I’ll have to walk a bit, will you be okay?”

“Are you okay. Because the Count is next to you… Hehe…”

Does it mean that you feel safe because I have you?

When I saw Wendy smiling shyly, I muttered without realizing it.

“Okay… “I will protect you while you go.”

“Then I, too, will protect the Count!”

“You mean that?”

“Yes! If anyone harasses the Count, I will scold them! Don’t worry, even if you are the devil, I will scold you… !”

“… That’s reliable.”

I just smiled bitterly at Wendy’s confident words

“Everyone is gathered.”

“Yes, yes… ” !”

That evening, a total of six people, including Helga, Lian, and the annihilation maid, gathered in the sparring hall in a corner of the underground workshop.

These are all people who participate in my plan to become the devil.

Normally, everyone would have been nervous about carrying out such a top-secret mission, but today most of them could not hide their embarrassment.

This was especially true of the four annihilation maids.

“This is so…”

“That… I heard what you said, but… In person, you look very beautiful… ?”

“Fit… Oh! Look good on you!”

“Well, really, young master… Is it?”

I expected this kind of reaction.

That’s right, because I was transformed into a woman through ‘Mimi’s Dressing Mirror’ that I found in the treasure room.

I glanced at my reflection in the mirror.

Objectively speaking, she was a woman with beauty as outstanding as Bella, who was called a peerless beauty. However, she felt completely different from Bella.

Obsidian-colored eyes and hair that hangs like a curtain of night.

While Bella is innocent and haughty, she is a villainess who is cold and cruel to the point of chilling. It feels like she is truly in the dark.

“I really don’t know. “Do you understand, Ryan?”

“Yes? The voice is different, but the smell is definitely the Count. So I got it.”

Perhaps because he is a vampire with a good sense of smell, Lian was quite perplexed.

On the other hand, Helga, who had already seen this, spoke to the maids with a triumphant look on her face.

“Hehe… Let me introduce you. “This is the Demon King Trinity we will serve from now on!”

It looks like they’ve already given it a name without even asking.

This appearance was me using the mirror ability to act as a demon lord.

Strictly speaking, this current appearance is nothing more than an illusion. You can think of it as wearing a transparent shell created by infusing magic into a mirror.

“However… Young master. “Why did you ask us to gather here today?”

Cynthia, who had been examining me until then, asked a question. As expected of her sharp personality, she was quick to notice.

I told them the purpose of our gathering today.

“You will spar with me from now on.”
