Hey, sleepyhead. How are you feeling?

Amelia, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up.

She bounced off the quilt and got up.

I'm going to call out to her to let her know that you're smoking because she's looking around.

Jiro, sir?

"I see you've come to your senses. Looks like all the hard work was worth it.

She was still dazed, or maybe she was still unfocused when she looked at me.

But the tone, the mood, I was pretty sure it was Amelia.

Although I've received a seal of approval from Instructor Fusio and the president, I feel more comfortable talking to her face-to-face like this to get confirmation.

What is this?

Devil's Castle Infirmary. I saved you, but you've been asleep for three days now.

"Three days? I'm sure,

Well, for you, it might only be a moment.

Slowly your head is awakening, or maybe you're starting to piece together information about what you've been going through, or maybe you're starting to swallow the situation.

Can you see and hear Amelia? Slowly she nodded her head.

She doesn't seem to be in bad shape, and she seems to be able to talk.

If she's going to be sick on the way, just give her a break.

So I thought, and I began to tell you what happened up to this point.

That was three days ago.

Let's go back to after we managed to rescue Amelia.

Jiro, this place isn't safe. I'll take shelter at the Demon King's Castle right away.

"Yes, it seems so, I can feel the disgusting air in the air.

I would have liked to have had time to have a smoke anyway, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The air is screaming, or should I say the air is screaming, this place was indeed close to the battlefield, where a disquieting atmosphere was in the air, but now I feel as if I am standing in front of a bomb.

You don't even have to think about where that air is coming from.

The space is so noisy that you can see it even from a distance.

The space where the president and the brave men are fighting has begun to operate in earnest as if the warm-up is over.

It's like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

I know firsthand that this place will soon be a place to fight, and when I look at my instructor, he silently begins to prepare his transference magic.

I'm carrying an unconscious Amelia on my back.

"Himikku, I'm sorry, can you leave them to me?

Okay. But are you sure?

The fact that the instructor doesn't say anything means it's okay if I take the blame.

I have one instruction for Himik, who has removed his helmet to reveal his true face.

Himik's sister, who had been evacuated and protected from the aftermath of the battle, is restrained by Himik and is asleep, but they too are cutthroat angels.

They're bound and put to sleep by Himiku, but they're also cutthroat angels.

It's clear that their power is so great that it's not even worth comparing them to ordinary people.

It's also true that they are a rival organization.

It is wiser to cut them down here than to bring them back.

But.

I made a promise to you.

The "Lord

I said I'd take him home and take care of him.

There was no going back on that word.

Did he understand my resolve, or did he think it would be more interesting to leave me alone, I have a feeling it was the latter, but the instructor just glanced in my direction and then clicked his jaw.

It's a bit of a letdown for me, as I was expecting to be the first to be told to cut off, let alone not to take them back.

Himiku holds the twin angels in his arms and Amelia is on my back.

And .

"I'm alive, I'm alive.

Well, I don't know why we're still alive, but we are.

"...... is not actually a real place, but hell, isn't it?

"Don't be afraid!

The three of us who had struggled to survive became quiet and acted as if it was strange to be in five bodies.

Well, no matter how much I supported them, they had been fighting for hours against a superior opponent.

I guess my mind got a little tired.

"Sir, please.

"Kaka, yes,

The place where we were brought in by our instructor's transference magic.

It's been years since we've had a human in our midst. What do you think, Jiro? What are your thoughts on entering the Demon King's Castle?

If you wander into a strange place, you feel like you're going to die.

That's mostly right. There's a lot of secrecy in here. Curiosity shortens one's lifespan.

I'll keep that in mind.

It is the last stronghold of the Demon King's army.

The castle to protect the demon king.

I had imagined that the inside of it wasn't quite right, but I was still naive.

The piercing gaze is neither contempt nor conceit, just pure caution.

We're not enemies, and Instructor Fusio understands that we're not enemies because he's around.

But we're not even welcome.

I don't need to tell you what will happen if you behave in any way suspiciously.

Somehow, we manage to let out a bitter smile at the instructor's words and walk out with the instructor leading us to follow him.

And I was led to .

. here.

Jiro, put the girl on the bunk over there. Jiro, put the girl on the bunk over there.

"Yes.

A strange space, just white, with only one bunk in the center.

You place Amelia on the bunk as instructed by your instructor, and when you leave, a ward is placed over her.

This girl has indeed survived, but her soul is badly exhausted. This is a place to heal the soul. She'll need to rest for a while, but she'll be awake soon.

A pale green light radiates from the warding, and that light envelops Amelia.

Knowing that it was a healing act, we naturally let out a sigh of relief.

I'd like to treat you next, but we're running out of time. Follow me.

And we thought we were going to be next, but apparently not.

Only the dangerous Amelia will be cured.

We'll be taken to another room.

You're the lucky ones. It's been years since I've seen one of these battles.

It is the central hall of the Demon King's Castle.

It's as if the center of the hall is made of glass and the ground is visible through it.

Follow Instructor Fusio as he peers into the hall and we'll see the ground.

"That's the demon king in action.

There was the president happily waving his wand and chasing down the fleeing Carter guy.

"That was awesome. What is that thing? How many spells are you using?

"That's not all. Each one is superlative magic.

"That's what you call a cheat, isn't it?

After escaping from the coal-tar lake with the light of the holy sword as a giant blade, Carter unleashes the blade directly at the president of the company.

The president is overwhelmed by the magic of the holy sword, as if the holy sword's light didn't bother him at all.

With nothing to protect you and an environment that allows you to focus on your one-on-one, the results can be so different.

It makes you understand that the fight in the arena at that time was still limiting.

You can see that the president has stopped restraining himself and is now thinking only about defeating his opponent.

You'll be able to unleash a wide variety of flowing magic, and just when you think you've filled an explosion with explosions, even those explosions create a blizzard of freezing snow, creating a wave of sand and earth that swallows the blizzard and sends down lightning from the heavens to split the waves of sand and earth.

A feat we can't do now, even if we were standing on our heads.

Not in the words of the south, but to me, he's a cheat.

Such is the battle between the president and Carter.

Everyone has the president's advantage and Carter's disadvantage.

Secretly I thought the battle might end like this.

Have you given up yet?

Carter's expression of not despairing is haunting.

A light shoots from the holy sword and cuts through the magic.

Carter moves so fast that you can barely grasp his position because you see him from the sky at a distance, wondering if he can fight from a distance.

You wonder if there's something in the way he hasn't given up the game yet.

And I'm thinking about that something.

"Want to get into ...... melee?

"You are right.

The action was familiar and the answer came from there.

After all, it was more than familiar.

I was no match for you at long range, and now you're trying to bring me in close.

That's exactly what Carter is doing.

Despite my slurred words, Instructor Fusio affirms my words.

"The brave man believes that he cannot win by magic fire, and he is trying to get into range where he can use his strength to the fullest. That's his path. The demon king doesn't allow it.

A typical battle between the vanguard and the rear guard.

Carter might win if he closed the distance, but the president wouldn't let him.

I thought this might be a surprisingly close game.

But that avenue may be dead on arrival.

"Instructor, what does it mean?

We'll see.

The instructor dismissed my words in a roundabout way and urged me to try to keep quiet, as if I could see what would happen next.

I'm out!

"Hey, that's not good!

Just before Kitamiya shouted, Carter managed to break through the magic storm.

The distance between the president and Carter is about thirty meters, less than a second for Carter, who was moving around at high speed.

You'll be able to run through it in less than a decimal of a second, slip through the small gap, and finally break through the long distance battle pause to become a close combat pause.

Once this happens, you can't use big magic carelessly.

But while you're thinking you can push Carter away with the magic you can use in that pause, a melee battle begins.

This time, you're wondering if the tables are turned.

And then.

And then a bright light appears.

"A lie, that is.

It wasn't the light from Carter's blow.

"Why is the demon king using light magic, that it is.

South's words were the voice of our hearts here.

The light from Carter's holy sword was intercepted by the demon king with a sword of light drawn from his waist.

At the sight, Minami's jaw dropped open.

My eyes are wide open too.

You must be surprised. You never expected the demon king to use the holy sword.

What does that mean?

I'm also wondering if you have a holy sword, even though you're a demon king.

I'm not sure if it's a spoils of war, but I'm listening to the rest of the instructor's speech.

It's just as he said. The demon king can use the holy sword. That's all there is to it.

"You are a demon king, right?

The question deepens.

"And as you can see, I have the makings of a brave man who can use a holy sword.

"No way. ......

It deepens, but I don't have to think about it anymore, because the item I had originally ruled out as impossible has been turned into a possibility by the instructor.

"Kaka-kaka, yes, that's right, that's not true.

"Mr. President of the Brave and the Demon King

'Yes, the one born of forbidden love. I miss him. The demon lord's mother was a brave woman who married the previous demon lord. It caused quite a bit of trouble at the time.

"There is such a thing, what is it?

There will be, after all, it is right in front of you.

I wanted to say that's a foul play.

But I also understand that such words are meaningless in this place.

A being who is both a force of light and dark.

I would say that's what a demented protagonist is.

And Carter is starting to get overwhelmed even in the close quarters where he thought he had a way out and became a hope.

Even I knew what the rest of the battle would be like.

"Above all, the demon king is the one favored by the moon and sun.

I felt a little bit of pity for Carter for turning such an entity against me.
