Bringing Culture to a Different World Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Sure enough, Ynor’s answer s.h.i.+fted the audiences’ focus to Zenarth.

Being looked at by thousands of people at once, the Sin Demon actually found himself being somewhat unsettled.

Earlier, Zenarth was focused completely on how to dance to His Highness’s satisfaction with the succubus.

Now, with the music stopped, with the dance over, Zenarth was standing on the stage and being watched by those incomparably weak beings.

The Sin Demon wanted to bare his sharp fangs. Since Joshua did not allow him to use his Flames of Sin, baring his fangs to threaten those humans and force them to look away was the only thing he could think of.

Rustling noises could be heard from all over the crowd as they commented about the situation. In the end, a female mage seated among the first three rows stood up. She does not appear to be very old. She seemed to have stood up because the companion that she came with incited her to do so.

Standing up so suddenly, she was acting slightly reserved. From the blue made gown she’s wearing, one could tell that she believed in Vengert, the G.o.d of Flowing Waters and Healing, the same G.o.d Ciri’s older sister followed.

“Mister Demon, may I ask... are you demons really like what the church described you all as...?”

It was clear that this woman was an academic mage, someone who has studied magic in the university for a long time but never managed to utilize their magic in actual battles. She was completely different from a wild mage who has toughened themselves through battles like Ciri.

Because of that, her knowledge of demons came from books and any narrations spread by the missionaries of the Holy Church.

Truth is, over eighty percent of the people in this world have never really interacted with the demons. Apart from the Nation of Frost and the Nation of Holy Church that were hostile toward demons, the other countries’ knowledge of demons came mostly from the narrations provided by the missionaries from the Nation of Holy Church.

Because of that, the demon’s image portrayed by the Nation of the Holy Church, the one where demons were vicious and evil, became the first impression humans had of demons.

As for whether or not Zenarth fits that image... Joshua could, with full certainty, tell that young mage that while ‘evil’ would not be a fit for Zenarth, ‘vicious’ was a total fit.

The bones of the humans killed by Zenarth could pile up into a small mountain. Furthermore, this Sin Demon has never felt any sort of sorrow for the people he killed.

The principle behind that was the same as how humans would generally not feel any sort of sadness in killing a chicken.

But, in the fairy tail that is the ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ demons were not beings that would kill humans. It was similar in concept to how all demons were wicked bandits beyond redemption in the teachings of the church.

“That nation has always held prejudice toward our race. But, standing here, I can guarantee that we demons are like everyone else here, we desire for peace from the bottom of our heart.”

At the time when the Sin Demon was pondering about how to answer, the ‘golden circuit’ provided by Joshua came to be of use again. The script Joshua prepared for him had appeared on the chat box.

Perhaps the n.o.bles involved in politics would not believe Zenarth. But, the majority of the people sitting on the ordinary spectator seats were youngsters inexperienced with politics.

Before those people. Zenarth successfully presented himself as an amiable demon.

With the brave young female mage asking the first question, the atmosphere of the meet and greet instantly livened up.

In the end, Sir Weissenasche was forced to appear on stage to manage the questions and prevent the audiences from going out of control.

Ordering his subordinate, Sir Weissenasche had a sphere of light with illuminated runes float above the theater. Once that sphere of light floats to someone, that person would be the lucky person that would be allowed to question the stage performers.

The simple question and answer process continued smoothly. The questions presented by the next couple individuals all had nothing to do with the Holy Church and demons. For example, ‘Did Belle and the Demon Prince end up marrying?”How was their lives post-marriage?”Are they planning to have kids?’

Those questions sounded like the questions that old aunties would ask. Hearing those questions, Ynor was completely dumbfounded. Perhaps this succubus has never thought about having children.

Truth was, very few succubi would ever consider the question of children. To them, having s.e.xual activity was only a way to have fun and pleasure themselves. But, it must be admitted that the succubi race possessed a very strong reproduction ability.

Being asked those questions, Ynor’s face turned red. In the end, he followed Joshua’s script and answered those difficult questions.

Not long after, the sphere of light floated from the crowd behind to the crowd in the front. It floated back to the young female mage that asked the first question. She stood up and, under the pressure of the crowd, asked her second question.

“Mister Demon, may I... touch the paw-pads on your hand?”

The second question the young female mage asked once again caught Zenarth in a predicament.

Paw-pads? Zenarth took a glance at his padded hand. He had smacked to death countless people using that padded hand. Yet, this human girl wanted to touch it?

Unfortunately, when it comes to felines, humans would not be able to resist their hair, thei claws or their paws.

Since the female mage wanted to touch it... Joshua had no reason to refuse her.

As such, Zenarth nodded his head and accepted her request.

After receiving the permission, the female mage was led up the stage by Sir Weissenasche. She arrived before Zenarth.

Zenarth stared at the feeble human mage. In the past, he would be able to effortlessly take her life with his claw. But, this human was not standing before him as an enemy. Instead, she was standing before him as a fan, someone who idolizes him.

The Sin Demon extended his hand to the young human girl. The girl extended her hand and touched Zenarth’s paw-pad. She even gently pinched it a bit.

“It’s... the same as my cat,” Her voice was transmitted through the voice-strengthening rune Zenarth was wearing. Because of that, the audience were able to hear it completely.

Starting from that moment, the meet-and-greet started going out of control. Fortunately, apart from the students of Norland’s Magic University, the others that were invited to partic.i.p.ate in the meet-and-greet were all educated business people and n.o.bles. Because of that, Sir Weissenasche was able to, with great difficulty, keep control.

The meet-and-greet lasted for ten entire hours, as long as the movie ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ In the end, the audiences left perfectly satisfied.

Joshua believed that the audiences that were present in the meet-and-greet will definitely become skeptical the next time they read the church’s gospels.

Today, Joshua planted the seed for public opinion. But, this was not yet the time for Joshua to openly oppose the Holy Church.
