Part 5

They went outside from 《Starfall Tower》.

The full moon was still shining bright.

It was late at night.

If they were to head to Faltra City right now, they would probably arrive at daybreak.

Diablo slowly stepped out onto the grass-covered plain.

In the end, Rem could still not walk properly, so he held her under his left arm.

As he was holding her waist, she was making a reluctant-looking face.

「……I can walk though?」

「But, didn’t you fall over twice on the staircase. It’s troublesome to worry about you.」

「……You, were worrying about me?」

「Nn? Ah, no……Hmph, it is because you are my property. It is only natural that I worry about if your injuries increase.」

「……Yes. That is true.」

Though she was blushing, Rem smiled.

A small distance behind those two──

Krebskrem seemed to be completely attached to Shera, and they were walking holding hands.

At first, Shera was scared from thinking of her as the Demon King, but, for better or for worse, because of her personality of having thin wariness, she had already become accustomed to her and was exchanging smiles with her.

They took the Demon King with biscuits──The one with a gloomy face that was expressing that was Edelgart. She followed along with her shoulders dropped down.

And then, the one furthest in the back, Alicia walked while making a face like she had lost the most important match of her life. Suddenly, she glared at the sky.

「……Ah!? Diablo-sama, above!」

A humming sound came descending from the sky.

It was an owl that had a single, large horn growing from its head.

However, the owl was huge. It was probably about 10 meters long from its head to the tip of its tail.

──Is it a Demonic Beast!? Is what I thought right away.

However, he realized that he recognized that figure. He had fought against it in the game.

「So it’s Ourou!?」

It was a Demonic Being.

The gigantic owl landed a few steps ahead of where Diablo’s group was headed.

And then, it started to change into a human like figure.

To a muscular giant possessing an owl’s head.

Only having a thin shirt to cover those muscles that were like armor, it was an outward appearance that had intensity to it.

「Ourou, why?」

Edelgart muttered.

The owl giant turned towards Krebskrem and knelt down.

「Demon King-sama, congratulations on your revival.」

The little girl in question blankly looked at him while tightly grasping Shera’s hand.

「Who are you?」

「I am the Demonic Being Ourou. An old Demonic Being that serves the many generations of Demon King-samas.」

「Ahh, is that so. Then, for you as well──」

Shera hurriedly stopped Krebskrem who was about to magical power to him.
