The Guard Who Was Supposed to Lose – Chapter 8

Episode 8: The Jobber Jailer Gets Super High

A new heroine, Eret, arrived at the Demon Lord’s Castle dungeon.

She was an unusual heroine.

Even when captured in the game, she wouldn’t bat an eye when assaulted by goblins or orcs.

In fact, she was rather scathing.

This happened just the other day when a soldier from the Demon Lord’s Castle tried to assault her after capturing her.

“Guh heh heh. Hey, jailer!! Open this cell!!”

“Uh, no, that’s a bit…”

“Don’t talk back to me!! You lowly Demonkin!!”

“Gah!”

A Mid-tier Demon goblin punched me when I tried to stop him and snatched the key.

Goblins have the image of being the weakest, but they’re normally stronger than me.
Among the Demonkin, strength is everything, so birth and race don’t matter.

In a way, it’s equal, but it’s also unequal.

“Are you alright, Rugas-kun?”

“S-Senior, please stop that soldier.”

“…I can’t defeat him. He’s one of the top Mid-tier Demons.”

“Even though he’s a goblin?”

“Even though he’s a goblin.”

So, even among the Mid-tiers, there are big differences in strength.

In that case, I have no choice but to try to stop him with a bribe like I did with Senior.

But I didn’t have anything on me right now.

At this rate, Eret, the heroine, would be in serious trouble.

Or so I thought…

Eret looked at the Mid-tier Demon goblin who had dropped his pants and exposed his junk and said, uninterested,

“What’s with that pathetic dick?”

“W-What did you say?”

I didn’t know about that exchange.

At least in the game, Eret was supposed to be silently assaulted by the soldiers without any noticeable resistance.

But for some reason, she started dissing the goblin’s junior.

“Short, thin, weak. I don’t find it biologically appealing. Come back after you’re born with a more impressive package.”

The Mid-tier Demon goblin went home crying after that scathing remark.

Well, I’m glad it ended in an attempt.

But as a fellow man, it’s too pitiful to be told that much.

Not that I sympathize with him.

“Oh? What’s wrong, Rugasussu-kun? You’re looking at me like you’ve seen something terrifying.”

“You’re merciless,” I said.

“That goblin punched you. I wouldn’t be satisfied if I didn’t say at least that much.”

Eh, so she was angry for my sake?

Thump. …No, not thump. What am I doing getting excited?

“By the way, Rugasussu-kun, does it hurt where you were punched?”

“No, I’m fine, but…”

“I see. But just in case, you should use the potion I made. It should heal you right away.”

“Ah, thank you.”

I took the potion from Eret, and my mind went blank for a moment.

“Eh, when did you make this? They checked your belongings before you were put in the cell, right?”

“For a genius like me, sneaking out of the cell in the middle of the night and gathering materials in the Demon Lord’s Castle is easy.”

“Wait, what!? What are you doing!?”

A shocking fact was revealed.

While I was racking my brain, Katiana, who had been sleeping in the next cell, seemed to have woken up.

“You’re being noisy, Lugas. What’s all the commotion?”

“Ah, Katiana-jou. Well, the thing is…”

“The thing? Explain properly.”

“Well…”

I told her everything that had happened.

“I see. Eret-dono was causing trouble in the Allied Forces too… You should give up.”

“Ehhh, seriously?”

“You guys are terrible. I’m just being true to my desires.”

That’s the problem.

But it’s true that she made the potion out of kindness.

I guess I’ll drink it.

I opened the lid of the vial containing the potion and chugged it down.

“…It tastes like energy drink…”

It was completely flat energy drink.

I had the image that potions tasted worse, but this is a strange flavor.

“W-What? I feel like my thoughts are getting clearer…?”

“That’s because it’s my special potion. If you drink one, your injuries will heal instantly, and you can stay active for dozens of hours without eating or sleeping.”

“Eret-dono, is that really okay!?”

“Don’t worry. I tried it on my own body, and I didn’t die, so it’s fine.”

“That’s definitely not okay!?”

Why is it?

I suddenly feel like moving my body. My strength is overflowing.

So, this is…

“Is this what they call being super high!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”

“!? Wait, Lugas!! Where are you going!?”

“Just a little hunting!! I’ll catch some delicious meat for you!! IHIIHIIHIIHIIHIIHIIHII!!!!”

“Hey!! You’re clearly acting strange!!”

Katiana tried to stop me, but there was no way she could stop me while she was in the cell.
I switched with Senior and headed to the forest near the Demon Lord’s Castle to hunt monsters.

What, I have my slingshot.

I’ll catch a big one and cook it deliciously.
