Chapter 40 - A heavenly voice?

"As you are my master, I will say the truth. Yes, I know an ancient demon. But the last time I saw him was 500 years ago." He revealed.

Wow! An Ancient Demon is very elusive but of course, maybe it's because of the numerous adventures they experience they can meet one.

"Are you friends?"

"When we first met, he just looks like a regular human. There is no hint of being a demon. He joined us with our adventures. Especially the two of us seems fond of each other's company."

A smile was formed on Shemer's lips. Maybe he considers that demon as a close friend. I don't like to discriminate against any race.

Well, you could say that the empire has an enemy with the Demon Army, but if they did not do anything against my principles, I will not judge them for what I've heard from others.

I'm the type of person that knows someone first before judging them. I do not base on looks or rumors. I based it on their personality. I knew from the books I've read that some demons are being sold as a slave from the black market.

Some are also known as Demonkins. Half-human, half-demon. These people did not have a choice to choose where race they want to be born.

You could say I am naïve to think that way, but that's what I was taught by my parents in my last life and I still carry it here.

"Can I ask if he is handsome?"

Maybe I can scout him for my company. I will let the two of you form a duo together. Hahaha! I just laugh at my thoughts.

"Why would you ask that, master?"

"Maybe I could recruit him to my entertainment agency in the future?" I whispered the last part of my sentence.

"Oh! So you want to make him your servant also? But what's an entertainment agency, master?"

He said while scratching his head. He looks so cute.

"You heard that?"

"Of course, master. I have a very powerful hearing."

"Well, I will tell you my plans for my future since I know that you will not tell other people."

"Ah! Thank you so much for your trust. So what are you gonna do? Do you want the empire? Or be the empress of the whole world. Tell me master, and I will be your unbreakable sword." He then proceeds to kneel at my feet.

"You have a very wide imagination." I then spank his head.

"I don't want to the empire or be the empress of the world. It's a lot of pain in my head. You see, an entertainment agency is my substitute for a guild."

I slowly explained. Then Shemer nods his head and shows an ok sign. I then continued explaining,

"But this type of guild will focus on an individual's ability to sing, dance, write a song or act."

"You mean like a theater company?"

"A bit similar. But this one we will combine into one guild."

"I see. So what are your requirements for the said individuals?"

"First, I want someone who is hardworking and has a great deal of perseverance. You know, no matter how talented a person can be, if he doesn't work hard, what's the point? Second, one must be talented. Whatever kind of talent they present to me, I will recruit them. That's all my requirement."

Of course, the face is just a bonus requirement.

You know what I mean.

Hahaha!

"You have very good requirements, master. I will aid you greatly in the future."

"Sure! You will be a very big help to me in the future. Hehehe!"

"Thank you for your trust master."

"By the way, Shemer, do you have any interest in singing? I can say that you have a very nice voice."

"I have an incredible talent in singing, master. When we went on our adventures in the past, your great-great-great-great so on and so forth grandfather always requests me to sing at night. He said that I have a heavenly voice!"

"Is that true?!" I asked with a twinkling eye.

"It's true. Why would I lie to you, master?"

"So can you sing something for me so that I could sleep?"

"Whatever you wish, master. Ughumm." He started warming up his throat.

Suddenly, I heard an ear-splitting voice. I subconsciously covered my ears.

"Skkkkyyy nighttt. Skkkyyy brighhhttt. My litttlllee angeeelll. Sleeeepppp tonighhhttt."

Oh my god!

What have I heard?!

He's tone-deaf.

I was scammed by his face!? That's why I believe in the saying that nobody's perfect.

"Shemer! S-stop, st-op." He was so immersed in his singing that he wasn't able to hear me. With a deep breath,

"I SAID STOP IT!." I shouted.

He was so shocked that I could see his eyes going round.

"M-master? You do not like my voice?"

His eyes started to get teary.

"No-no!" I vigorously shook my head. I need to come up with a proper reason without hurting his pride.

"But why are you covering your ears?"

I immediately put my hands on my back.

"I was just banging my head with your voice." I hurriedly said.

"Oh! So you were enjoying it. Do you want me to start again?"

If you start again, I may not be able to sleep tonight!

"It's okay. Agghhh! I feel sleepy already. Thank you for your song." I made a loud yawn.

"Okay! Have a goodnight master." He then saluted and transform into a sword again.

Wooh.

From this day forward, I have to tell Shemer not to sing in front of me. I think he had a misconception as to the first emperor's words about his heavenly voice. I then looked at the notification in my head.

"Powerful damaging voice against the demons is detected. Slight effect of dizziness and painful hearing for humans. While powerful damage to demons."

It was a warning from the system. Shemer's voice is absolutely lethal to the demons. That's why the first emperor is requesting him to sing every night, so that no demons can approach their base camp.

Maybe I could just let him be a model for my agency in the future. So that everyone is safe from fainting.
