The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 562

Episode 562 A ladder carries a rock (2)

Ladder.

Sometimes, it is the most suitable means to decide the outcome of fate(?). A more fair means than Mukchipa, which may depend on the individual’s quickness. A true man’s gamble where he competes with pure luck alone, without the intervention of any external factors.

“So I prepared this.”

It was the next morning.

Rakiel’s shameless voice was engraved calmly in one corner of the villa’s garden. Everyone around them who heard that sound could not believe their eyes and ears.

The faces of those ‘surrounding people’ were quite glamorous. The emperor, the Pope, the Dragon King, Berkis, the Vampire Lord, the Mermaid Queen, the Orc Warchief, the Centaur Chief, and even the Myoin King. In fact, all the faces representing human society and all walks of life on earth were gathered together.

“…What was that?”

“I’m going to climb the ladder, Your Majesty.”

Rachiel answered the emperor’s puzzled question by slyly waving a piece of paper with a ladder densely drawn on it.

“If you choose one of the two ladder sections at the top here, you will go down that path and compete to determine whether you win or are eliminated, Your Majesty.”

“Hmm? “To me, it seems like a trivial gamble.”

“But there is nothing better than this to determine a clean winner, Your Majesty.”

“…So, as you just said, you are saying that climbing the ladder will determine the match between the archangel who will soon descend here and the king of hell?”

“That is exactly so, Your Majesty.”

Rachiel nodded as if it was obvious. Thanks to this, all the representatives who came to meet the emperor, the archangel, and the king of hell swallowed their dry saliva without even realizing it. And everyone had the same thought. I wonder if that’s really okay.

Of course, everyone’s anxiety was also within Rachiel’s calculations. He told everyone as if it was no big deal.

“It’s okay, Your Majesty. Anyway, both the Archangel and the King of Hell agreed to the plan I proposed to destroy the Demon King.”

“…But what would you do if you dared to make fun of such absolute people and get caught in the dark?”

“He’s okay too. “Isn’t this a situation where there is no other viable alternative?”

“There is no clear alternative. Did you speak to the archangel and the king of hell?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Rachiel nodded.

“Of course, the Archangel and the King of Hell will be displeased with my trick. But right now, there is a much more urgent and huge issue at hand, which is the destruction of the King of Demon Worlds, so I wouldn’t refuse to do the job because of such trivial feelings, right?”

“But… according to what you said earlier, the archangel is particularly mean and has an extremely long rear end…”

“I will take care of that rear end. So, Dragon King?”

This time, Rakiel’s gaze returned to the Dragon King Berkis next to him. The Dragon King responded to his call with a sour look in his eyes.

“uh. why.”

“So, do you have a special request for the Dragon King?”

“…Tsk. “Are you asking me to put an anti-preview spell on the paper with the ladder drawn on it?”

“also. “It is truly the Dragon King who has already figured out my intention.”

“Stop saying things you don’t mean to. “If you, who prepared the ladder climbing paper, are asking me to come out this early in the morning, the reason is obvious.”

“yep. “Other than the Dragon King’s near-infinite ability, there is no way to stop the archangel and the king of hell from cheating on the ladder.”

“but. Even if their powers are somewhat blocked when they come down to the earthly world, it would be easy for them to peek at a piece of paper.”

“So, please, please.”

“For free?”

“When the work is over, how about the Dragon Queen’s health care service?”

“Specifically?”

“It is a special course full package, including one comprehensive checkup every year, health care, herbal medicine, anti-wrinkle, anti-aging, beauty care, herbal medicine, joint disease prevention care, full basting and moxibustion course, 10+1 ticket care, and continuous health consultation service.”

“…call.”

“thank you! Then here.”

As soon as the Dragon King gave permission, Rakiel quickly handed out the ladder paper. Berkis, who was handed the paper, closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them.

“It’s done.”

“Already?”

“of course.”

“Isn’t there some kind of flashing effect?”

“Why did you add something like that? bothered.”

“Ah yep.”

“Anyway, can I go in now and get some snow?”

“Uhm, that’s…”

“That?”

“Anyway, I need you to notarize it…”

“Use it.”

“In order for the archangel and the king of hell to accept the results of the ladder, someone with authority appropriate to their level must notarize it…”

“Whew.”

“thank you!”

“You haven’t given me permission yet?”

“I have no doubt that you will do it!”

“So you don’t want to do it anymore?”

“brother.”

“kill?”

“sorry.”

“…Tsk. Anyway, he seems like a troublesome guy.”

In the end, Berkis frowned but did not leave. It was something that even I thought was strange. Because honestly, it’s annoying. Just waking up like this and standing in the garden with nothing to do, waiting for an archangel or the king of hell, is terribly annoying.

‘But…’

Why don’t I hate this crown prince at all? When I think about it, it was really amazing. No, maybe it’s been like that since we first met.

‘….’

Dragon King Berkis looked at Rachiel with new eyes. Then, I vaguely realized something. Maybe this is this guy’s scariest strength.

‘Everything I do is disgusting. There are times when I just want to kill myself. But strangely enough, I don’t actually feel hateful.’

The more I looked at it, the more fascinating it became.

Perhaps that’s why this guy can encompass all the big names, including himself, the archangel, and the king of hell. That thought made me chuckle.

It was then.

‘Hmm. ‘It’s coming.’

Dragon King Berkis’ deep and keen senses detected a faint crack in the mana. His eyes looked towards the empty space on one side of the garden. And after a while, the space at that point began to split.

…Kwaaaa!

The gate opened in an instant. The acrid smell of sulfur wafted out through the open gate. Soon, the person who walked out from there was a very handsome man with mysterious silver hair.

“Welcome the coming of the great King of Hell!”

Rachiel’s waist bent to 90 degrees as she recognized Javiel, the King of Hell. The emperor, startled by his shout, followed suit and bowed.

The same was true for most representatives of each race and class. Even the orc warchief, who was usually second to none in terms of harshness, and the extremely arrogant mermaid queen, all showed respect and fear in front of the king of hell. In particular, the Vampire Lord was so moved that he almost cried and even fell flat on the floor.

However, there were exceptions. The Pope did not bow down when facing the King of Hell. All he did was simply nod his head and show minimal respect.

Of course, Hell King Haviel was not the type to worry about such trivial things.

“Did I come first?”

“Yes, King of Hell.”

“So, you’re going to make both me and the archangel who will arrive soon go crazy and make us climb that ladder, right?”

“….”

Rachiel flinched at the calm question of Hell King Haviel.

“…did you already know?”

“Because I can clearly see what happens on earth.”

“Uh, then…”

“It’s okay. “I find it somewhat scandalous that you have abandoned the promise you made to me and made a double promise with the archangel.”

“…Thank you for your understanding.”

“You didn’t say you understood?”

“yep?”

“In the future, when you die and undergo reincarnation examination in hell, you will receive 10 penalty points.”

“Penalty points… 10 points?”

“okay.”

“Are you just going to penalize the King of Hell based on his personal feelings?”

“no. It is a decision based on strict regulations. The name is the crime of deceiving the absolute.”

“Well then…”

“How much of a penalty is 10 points?”

“yep.”

“Even if all other scores are perfect, you will still be born with a defect somewhere.”

“I said let’s do it… What did you say…”

“Malignant rhinitis, athlete’s foot, latent wisdom teeth, dry eyes, a strong fart smell?”

“….”

“If you’re going to be rude to the Absolute, you should have been prepared for that. Anyway… you’re here.”

Hell King Haviel’s gaze moved to the side as he made a huge(?) threat. just as expected. A golden light shone where his gaze was directed. Soon, Archangel Lloyd came down from the sky, taking the holy cross pose. And as soon as I came down, I looked at Rachiel with sharp eyes.

“What? ladder? “Ladder?”

“….”

“Use it.” Did you think I would go along with that kind of music? huh?”

“…yep.”

“What is the basis?”

“There is a 50% chance that you will be able to bite, tear, chew, and enjoy the King of Hell as a training material?”

“Wasn’t the promise you made to me in the first place a 100% guaranteed probability?”

“There is such a thing as a floating interest rate in this world, right?”

“That and this are completely different.”

“sorry. Please kill me.”

“really?”

“no. “When I think about it, that’s a bit much.”

“…You also get 10 penalty points in heaven.”

“yep?”

“Didn’t you hear? “It’s 10 penalty points.”

“As for the heaven version penalty points… what other penalties are there?”

“Luck decreases after reincarnation.”

“Then…”

“What is the specific level? It will be a little difficult to find a spot in the parking lot. When you barely find a spot and go to put your car in, there will be a cone standing there because limescale is falling. And you should give up the idea of profiting from gambling or stock coins for the rest of your life. Just work hard and make money. Oh, and there’s this too.”

“yes? What else…”

“When you have food delivered and eat it, there is a 30% chance that the owner will forget the seasoning and not put it in your food.”

“…Isn’t that too much!”

“Then you shouldn’t have dared to think of being mean to the archangel.”

“ha.”

Rachiel sighed. The next life is now just a comfortable one. But on the other hand, there was also a sigh of relief. Still, he did something obvious against the archangel and the king of hell. I thought this was still a good punishment.

So now….

‘Let’s lay the iron plate with confidence because we deserved the beating.’

After gathering herself, Rakiel took out a document from her pocket. It was not the ladder paper that I had requested from the Dragon King earlier.

That’s right…

“From now on, both the Archangel and the King of Hell will need to sign the consent form.”

“agreement?”

Archangel Lloyd’s eyebrows twitched.

Hell King Haviel’s eyes narrowed.

Rachiel said shamelessly.

“From now on, won’t we be able to decide who will take on the role of training material through the ladder climbing process I prepared? “This is an agreement to submit to the results.”

“…write. “Are you thorough?”

“Are you sure you should write everything down on paper?”

“I like that very much.”

“Is that so?”

“uh. It’s my taste. okay. let’s do it. sun.”

Archangel Lloyd laughed in disgust. I never thought I would meet someone who would push a contract against me. It was a strange feeling, but it didn’t feel bad because it was my preference.

Archangel Lloyd read the consent form carefully and signed it. Afterwards, King Haviel of Hell also signed without saying a word. Of course, in the meantime, he sent a meaningful look towards the archangel.

“This is Mr. Lloyd, who signs contracts presented to him by others. “This is a rare sight.”

“So you like it?”

“yes. Lloyd. “The thought of using Mr. Lloyd as a training material from now on makes me smile with joy.”

“And if you end up on the receiving end, you will shed tears of blood.”

“Let’s climb the ladder first and then speak.”

“Then you choose first.”

“All right. But…”

“What else?”

“Could you please comfort the Pope, who has been sobbing with emotion ever since Lloyd came down earlier? “I’m distracted and can’t concentrate.”

“…Oh yeah.”

For a moment, Archangel Lloyd casted ‘Slap!’ on the Pope. And Javiel, the King of Hell, accepted the ladder paper presented by Rakiel. Of course, the entire middle part of the paper was covered with thick paper.

“….”

Haviel’s eyes narrowed.

As expected, you are thorough.

I can’t see it.

‘Is this the work of the Dragon King?’

Actually, I was trying to do a little clairvoyance. After confirming that it wasn’t working, Javiel chose one of the two upper branches of the ladder.

“I choose the left.”

“All right. “Then let’s check right away.”

Rakiel took a deep breath after receiving the ladder paper back. I removed the paper that was covering the middle of the paper. Finally, the overall appearance of the ladder was revealed. And Rakiel started climbing the ladder. It was the ladder on the left that the King of Hell chose.

“Tiridirititi- tiridirititi!”

A ladder running powerfully with a sound effect (?) made from the mouth. Everyone’s eyes moved following Rakiel’s fingers. I went down the ladder. It goes sideways, down, and sideways, going up, then down, then across, then down again.

And then Rachiel’s finger passed the last curved corner of the ladder and went down. Finally, we reached the finish line at the bottom. There was also thick paper pasted where the results window was written.

Rakiel spoke solemnly and picked up the paper in the results window.

“Well, the results have finally come out. The results of the ladder chosen by the King of Hell are…”

Jwaaak!

The paper was torn off.

The results were revealed.
