“Die!”

“You die!”

“Tigre-dono, I got this!　”Hunting Hawk”.”

“Ouch!? Nice try, knight!”

Tigre-sensei, Eiiri, and Hawk-san were engaged in a battle that could be called a fight to the death. It’s not tragic because they’re cursing each other, but they’re both torn up.

Then Hawk-san’s new technique was decided, and Eiiri’s left arm fell off and a black mist leaked out.

–I mean…

“Eh, wait, isn’t that bad!? If this continues, one of them is going to die!”

“That human is good. Eiiri is at a disadvantage. Well, it is what it is.”

“You’re so heartless ……!? Kudelica, can you stop those three? I’m sure it’ll be quick if it’s you.”

“What?”

“You know, that technique that you invented.”

“Oh! Okay! All right …… “Earth Crusher”.”

When Kuderika rushed under the three of them, jumped and twisted her body, she struck the ground with a blow using [Superhuman Strength].

“Uohhh!? I, I can’t move!?”

“Tsk!? Don’t get in my way!?”

“This is ……!?”

“I’m sorry! Everyone, get away!”

” ” “Gueh!?” ” “

After they’re not able to move, Kudelica blasts them with her palm and the three of them tumble to the ground, screaming like crushed toads.

“I guess it’s Kudelica’s win?.”

“Eheheh!”

“Damn, what the hell is it ……?”

“Sorry, Tigre-sensei. But it seems that they want to talk to us.”

I replied to Tigre-sensei as I looked at Lilith.

◆ 　 ◇ 　 ◆

“–So that’s why I approached the two of them, the top two.”

“Can we trust them?”

“Basically, you shouldn’t trust the demons. If we don’t have a gain in this too, we’re willing to do an all-out war.”

“…… Well, you seem trustworthy. I don’t like the fact that you’re so calm when your comrades are getting killed, though.”

“You’re saying some interesting things. But you seem trustworthy, too. That’s all well and good, but …… Should I tell them about us first?”

“Well, I’ll leave that to you ……. And well, we may be gone, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to die in this world.”

Eiiri tells Vertical with a disgruntled expression as he wraps his arms around him. It seems that he is dissatisfied with the fact that he could not fight until the end.

If they’re willing to be my ally …… No, cooperator, I’d like it if they could release the Everlide people. 

“You can’t get out of that body for now? I heard you’re a major player in the Everlide and we need you to help us take back that country.”

“It’s not impossible, but it’s not a good idea. The change in appearance is likely to leave the Lord Founder wondering. I can’t have Lilith with you for the same reason.”

He answered my question, but when I was about to ask him again because I had some concerns, Tigre-sensei opened his mouth first.

“When can you give that body back then? When the demons leave, they’ll be back to normal, right? And I want to know, too …… Why are you guys are kicking your summoner.”

When I nodded my head and looked at him, he lowered his shoulders and started talking.

“We are, after all, the alien elements out in this world, aren’t we? It’s not like there’s anything I want to do here, I just want to get back quickly, I guess. “We” can’t kill the summoner by contract, so unless the Lord asks us to return, we’ll just be treated as pawns. If he wants to conquer the world, we can have some fun, but if he’s just trying to take down one country with his boring hands, it’s not worth it.”

“I see, so you are dissatisfied with the current situation.”

“That’s kinda pitiful. Would you like to be my [Experiment] subject?”

When Eiiri had finished speaking, Retzel and Reiss also came to us and started talking about it. But what Reiss wants is completely for herself ……

While I was thinking about this, Vertical looked at Sephiro and asked her a question.

“I can’t help but be used by humans, but I don’t understand “why we were called in”, since we have little reason to exist. It’s what humans call “troublesome”. And Sephiroth, the fact that you are here is also a mystery, what is going on with God?”

“…… Before I realize it, I fell into this world and had no memory of anything, so I don’t remember that part. Regal, the demon, says he has disappeared.”

“I heard that too. I mean, if you’re an [atheist], why do you care about God?”

As far as I know, Vertical is [Atheist] and Eiiri is [Stupid], so I asked him about it, and Vertical simply answered. 

“You know it well. The meaning is a little different, but I shouldn’t tell you that now. Nevertheless, who are you ……? Well, it’s okay. Anyway, from now on, Lars, you’re coming with me, Eiiri, and Albatross. Retzel and the others too, okay?”

“Yes, it is not yet known that we betrayed the Gospel’s Descent, and we think I can guide him.”

“I don’t have a problem as long Lars-kun’s there, I can finally relax and flirt with him.”

“…… Aren’t you too faithful to your desire? Isn’t this Makina girl going to kill you this time?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to die ……!”

It is true that these men are known to Apollos, so there is a possibility that they can make an opening …… If they are caught, they may be able to get rid of Berias.

I’m not sure I trust him yet, so I’m not going to tell him about breaking into Everlide, I say the idea I just thought of.

“How about if I go with you under the guise of joining the Gospel’s Descent? It would be suspicious if it was just me, so how about a few others?”

“I think that’s a good idea. I’d prefer members who are strong against brainwashing, so I guess I’ll have to reject Ryuuze-kun.”

The moment Retzel said this, he fell forward, and then a shout echoed through the square.

“What did you say!! Are you saying that I’m an idiot!”

“Oh, you’re back.”

As he got up as if there was no problem, when looked at the direction Retzel’s eyes is looking, Basleigh-sensei, Naru, and the knights were meeting up.

“Yes, we’re done, after all…… Regal says these guys are demons too, are you going to defeat them?”

“The situation has changed a bit, Makina and the others will be here soon, we’ll talk when we get together.”

“What do you mean ……?”

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

While I waited, I began to create a transfer magic circle so that Vertical and the others would not know that I was planning to go back to the other side.
