Part 4

The Ceremony Magic would be performed immediately.

It seemed that it would be fine if only Rem participated but……

Shera said that she wanted to be present, so she ended up accompanying her.

Since they had requested for the Ceremony Magic, they had no choice but to trust Rafleisha. Since she was promised some unexpected compensation, she probably wouldn’t betray them.

However, what about the other Dark Elves? Would they be able to declare that they would absolutely not inflict injuries on Rem and Shera?

He felt uneasy about it being only Rem who was receiving the Ceremony Magic and Shera who was weak to surprise attacks.

Diablo told them.

「I will see it through as well.」

「Hohoho……Can you not trust me? You sure are a cautious gentleman. But, it would be troubling if there were too many people. The space in the altar is a narrow place after all.」

「Understood. Rose and Sylvie, stay at the carriage.」

For an instant, Rose made a pained face, but she bowed her head very deeply.

「I have received, your order, My Master.」

The other side of the large tree──

It was a room that wasn’t all that spacious. There were two entrances, the door that Diablo’s group came in, and another one that was at the back.

There were no windows, and it was much darker than the previous location. Once again, 《Light》 Magic was used for lighting.

At the center of the wooden flooring, there was a pond surrounded with rocks Fish were swimming within the water.

Surprisingly, not one person came as Rafleisha’s guard. There wasn’t anyone else in the room either.

Are the guards on the other side of the wall? Or was he unable to notice their presence?

Being unable to sense them would be uncool but……If he pretended to have discovered them but there really were none, that would be stupidly lame. That would be way too laughable. How should he ask so that it would not injure his Demon King-like majesty!?

Diablo snorted.

「Hmph……Your guard……What is the meaning of this, Rafleisha or whatever?」

She expressed a soft smile.

「This place is called the 《Purification Room》. Since the only ones allowed to enter are me and the ones receiving the ceremony, the guards are not here.」
