Part 9

The sun sank.

It was almost time for dinner.

Diablo was alone in their room.

Rem had gone to meet with the Magician’s Guild’s Celes to report that the Demon King’s soul had been completely taken out of her.

Edelgart worked at the bakery today as well. She might be the most admirable among them.

And then, Shera and Krum were in the room next door.

The two of them were playing there.

Shera would teach her a song she made, and talk about their adventures.

Since he was alone for the first time in a while, Diablo had a water tub prepared in his room.

It was in place of a bath.

It healed the fatigue of the long trip──he wasn’t able to relax enough to say that, but when would be the next time he would be able to take things slowly like this.

When washing his body, he wanted to properly wash it.

Right when he was about to take his clothes off, the door was opened.

「Mu?」

「Ooh, so you were here, Diablo.」

「What do you need?」

The one that entered the room without even knocking was Krum.

She had hidden her 《Slave Choker》 and her tail that was a sign of being demonic with flashy clothes.

「Shera had fallen asleep -noda.」

「When you all were singing?」

「When she was telling stories of your journey. She was well asleep -nanoda.」
