"- Oh, lords. It was just fine."

"Ma, demon king! You were safe!

"Mm-hmm. Well, Rosé's not safe."

Aria, carrying a bloody rosé, appears before the three men trying to escape with Richt.

Apparently, the fight was better than the search.

With the blood flowing from Rosé's abdomen, Aria's body was stained red.

"Rosé, it looks painful."

"I didn't think Rosé would do it, either, but maybe they can't help it."

Iris looks worried about Rosé.

I know there's no more life in that body, but the painful wounds on the worm were making me think so.

Because Aria has not responded at all to hemostasis or anything else, there is a blood trail on the aisle she has been passing through.

I guess we should resuscitate him as soon as possible.

"Anyway, it looks like Richter got it back. Well done."

"But I haven't regained consciousness yet. What to do...... Demon King"

"Well - for now, not until we get back to Distopia. I defeated the demon king in the west, but I feel better not to be here long"

At Aria's discretion, the path is chosen to return with Rosé and Richt in his arms.

To that choice, no one did anything to shake their necks sideways.

If that's the case, there's nothing particularly to think about later.

All we have to do is call Fenrir, who's keeping him waiting outside, and bring Richt home.

When Illis cleverly whistles his fingers, he hears Fenrill howling to resonate.

"Looks like your lords are gonna be okay. Let me tell you something, don't be alarmed until the end of the day when you bring Richter home."

"Yes, and watch out for the Demon King."

"Uhm - oops"

Aria rebalances herself to Rosé's body, which is about to collapse.

Is it a precursor to something going wrong?

Aria always gets a loose look after the fight, but this time she remains oddly stiff.

"Demon King......?

"I'll be back soon, my lords. Unless Richter wakes up, his life is not infinite. You know what I mean?

"Yes, sir"

They are taken by a hurried aria, and the three rush to Fenrill.

Aria seems to be acting together on her way home.

It doesn't mean I never trust Iris or Thysse, but it was just a result of being mindful.

"... Demon King. Is there still something...?

"I don't know exactly, but it's just creepy. We're leaving once."

Aria's explanation was not perfectly convincing, but neither Iris nor Thyse nor Dorothy would pursue it in depth.

I had to return to Distopia alive to bring news of my recapture success to Faelice.

When Illis sounds his finger whistle again, Fenrill will show up breaking through the wall.
