Adford, the western city of the Kingdom of Serbia. At Leon's direction, there was no one left to evacuate. Only the Hausent brothers and their life-targeting demon Belzebub are in this redsoil land.

Quiet battles were fought in the Wang capital, and another battle continued in Adford. A demon who is the strongest Black Magic (Grimoire) user and a human brother who has not made a Black Magic (Grimoire) contract.

Either control the battle at Adford.

"Brother! More importantly, why did you run away from here? ⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉;⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉\82

"You think I'm here without any idea? I'm a genius, right?

"Huh? Ah, uh... but why the Gopher Mansion?"

Using Sonic Boots, it was the Gopher Mansion that the brothers who fled Belzebab's former location reached. The Gopher mansion belongs to Raven Gopher, who is the dependent bills of Belzebub.

Why would Leon do an imitation like deliberately boarding an enemy formation?

"Well, that's good. Remember that? When I was a little girl."

"Why are we talking about memorabilia like that again... not if we're talking about it?

"It also has the effect of moon tears, and it takes some time for him to chase us. I'm sure it will be a long stretch from now on. Can we just soak up some memories, please?

"... I get it. It was fun back then. I guess I won't have time to think about it anymore, like back then."

"We fight to get those irreplaceable days back. You used to sneak into this mansion back then."

"Yeah. They always found me, and Mr. Gopher was mad at me"

Starting with that, brothers memorabilia. It's a break between bundles.

15 years ago to go back.

Jake was 10 at the time and Leon was 11; the two boys were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hausent, who are town doctors in Adford. Since this time, Leon has been deviant and smart in his crowd, but he can't resist being around the age of the platter he wants to play with.

"Jake. I'm not going to be able to play outside today, or even go to the usual place"

"Er... you're gonna piss me off again"

There were dark clouds standing in the sky on this day, and it wasn't strange whenever it rained.

"Red Crispy Treats. Inspired by the designation“ Land of Red Earth, "Adford specialty. Sweet, sweet to red sweet, characterised by a crisp texture. You're your favorite, aren't you?

"It's sloppy, brother. My loss."

"That's my brother! If that's the case, let's go!

To Jake, who was unwilling to ride, Leon used his wife's hand. Red Crispy Treats is a sweet snack that Jake loves and doesn't stop. Children are honest with their desires.

The two of them just came in front of the Gopher Mansion gate. Jake puts the red cream around his mouth and looks anxious. Ultimately Jake is going to hang out with Leon's play, but he doesn't always seem to be up for it.

"For your convenience today, millionaire Raven Gopher is away"

"But brother, this house is always full of karaki, right?

"Exactly! It's full of karakuri, but it hasn't been any obstacle to this Leon lady. If you don't want to be snuck in, I want you to create a higher level trick."

"Brother..."

Since that time, Leon has spoken the same way as he does today. It's a really childless tone.

There are a variety of hardware and demon-related items in the Gopher Mansion. The kerchief nature of a gopher to be taken by anyone showed up in this mansion.

Unlike when the Bells broke in, there were still “people named Raven Gopher" living in the Gopher Mansion around this time. The mansion is now completely abandoned and has no sense of life, but by this time the garden was well maintained and the exterior was beautiful at the time.

Before reaching the front door, a large gate inhibits the whereabouts of the two boys. Naturally, by this time, the gate was still locked. The gate is padlocked and cannot be opened without a key.

"In front of Leon Hausent, a key like this becomes just a decoration"

"Brother... I can't honestly say it's amazing..."

Leon, who has been smart since that time, easily unlocks the gate. What he used was a single wire. At Renato, Bell was lucky enough to succeed in picking, but not by chance in Leon's case.

The little brother broke into the gopher's mansion easily. The wide entrance is well cleaned in every corner and looks dusty. Of course there's nothing like a spider's nest straining.

It was a luxurious enough entrance when the Bells visited, but it was far more elegant at the time when it was well cleaned.

This mansion, which creates an unusual atmosphere, was the perfect playground for the little Hausent brothers.

"Jake, we're going ahead of this."

"Are you sure you're okay?

"I'm fine this time. I have this!

"What's that?

You'll see.

At this time, Leon had a pot in his hand. The pot has several protrusions. That was very similar to what Allen found the next 15 years after breaking into the Gopher Mansion.

In a familiar foothold, the brothers ascend the stairs on the left to the second floor, where numerous traps await the intruders if they proceed with the door on the left side of the second floor. Knowing that, the Leons dared to choose that path.

After going through a number of rooms without any tricks, it's the downstairs that awaits them. The staircase itself is the most dangerous staircase in the world, with a trap activation switch.

"Brother... the last time I went down this staircase, I thought I was going to die."

"On a boring day, you'd need a thrill, wouldn't you? But don't worry. You won't be harassed anymore."

Talking, the two step out onto the stairs.

Gakun...

Jake's foot steps first and steps down one step. Just now, that triggered some kind of trap switch being pushed.

"I heard another nasty noise! Are you sure you're all right?

"I'm fine. Don't worry, brother. It's good, we're moving on."

Having stepped on the switch, Jake goes further down the stairs, pale in the face. Last time I visited this mansion, Jake must have caught the same eye as Bell.

"Grrrrrrrrrr......"

As we descended about 10 steps down the stairs, we heard a fierce roar from behind the two of them.

When Jake looked back in horror, there appeared a monster with countless eyes. Jake's stepped switch unleashed the monster that Bell would also encounter 15 years later.

This monster never showed up when Bell was down the stairs. The trap you set seems a little different these days, too.

Surprisingly, before the Black Moon, there were demons in the Gopher Mansion. The double-eyed monster is probably a summoned warcraft. I guess the gophers were inclined to black magic (Grimoire) before the incident happened.

"You're not okay at all."

"Don't worry, Jake. I've already figured out the trap on this mansion."

"You can't be relieved. We'll be eaten."

Leon is indispensable for calm, even with his monster peeling fangs imminent behind him. He is running down the stairs without calmly changing his expression.

Jake, next door on the other hand, is desperately running down the stairs. Jake couldn't care less, such as the staircase itself being a start switch on the trap.

Every time he goes down the stairs, Jake starts the trap. Jake's stepped switch shut the door at the end of the stairs to the stone wall.

Not only that, but the width of the left and right walls pinching the two was starting to narrow. It's the same trap that was hung on the bell.

"Brother, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

Jake was already in a state of confusion. A monster looms from behind, the walls narrow, and the doors that are on the way are closed. There is no longer a way to help.

"Easy, Jake. If you don't calm down, the trap will start up even more"

"Even if you say that, it's worse than before."

"I can stop this trap. So calm down!"

Leon regularly pushed the protrusion on the kettle as he spoke to the panicking Jake. The kettle Allen touched was a start switch on the trap. If this pot is the same as that, Leon's actions shouldn't make any sense at all.

While the situation remained unchanged, the two were approaching a stone wall closing the exit. Unless the door opens, we cannot get out of this critical situation. In a few seconds, the little brothers will be unable to move.

"All right, that's perfect."

When I hit the stone wall in a few more steps, I heard a chirp from the kettle Leon had.

Then the narrowing walls stopped moving and the stone walls that held back the way they were going disappeared instantly. Leon manipulated the protrusion on the pot to stop all the traps planted between the stairs.

"See! You'd have moved on before this one today, wouldn't you?

"You said that I would never be harassed again, didn't you?"

"I'm only 11. Forgive me for making some mistakes."

The Hausent brothers opened the door that appeared in front of them and jumped between the chairs of the curse.

Jake had his hands on his chest so that he could hold the heart that was about to pop out. Without a doubt, the two brothers were in a very dangerous situation. Leon, who can calmly deal with imminent danger to his life, I guess the crowd is the bearer of deviant talent.

"After all, Raven Gopher has a weird hobby. I'm curious about that chair, too."

"Let's not do this, brother. Isn't that the" chair of the curse ”?

"" The Curse Chair ”or" How do you want people to die? "Let's figure out how it works!

"Stop it, brother... what if you're really dead..."

"Impossible, such as this Leon dying."

"Brother..."

The next thing Leon showed interest in was the "Curse Chair," which was well before this rumor became popular in Adford. But that was a strongly impressive rumor in Leon.

"Wow, wow."

Jake, looking back, suddenly raised his voice out loud. The door the brothers came through was left open, from which we were able to check on the stairs.

The cause of Jake's surprise was on the stairs. There was still a double-eyed monster there. The monster could not move because it was rarely caught in a narrow wall.

They never come at us, but the monster is staring at his brothers as he strips his fangs out.

"... Somebody, come"

"What?"

At about the same time, Leon noticed the approaching footsteps. Besides the Hausent brothers, does that mean there are intruders?

Gacha...

Not long ago, the door opened in the opposite direction as the brothers came in.

"He who sneaks in while the LORD is gone, is a wretch. You evil kids."

"Raven Gopher......"

It was then Raven Gopher who opened the door and showed up. Bad timing, I guess I went home.

By this time, "Black Moon” has not yet occurred. I mean, it wasn't the gopher-skinned Belzebub that showed up before them, it was the real Raven Gopher.

Gophers wore canes filled with gold and gems on this day.

"Have you gotten over all the traps I've set you up with? I can't insult you because you're a child."

"Naturally. I'm a genius."

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha funny kid! Just as much as you're gonna fall for it."

Gopher laughed with his belly in his arms. No child on the nose, like Leon, is.

Then the gopher pushed the switch attached to the top of the cane.

Then the narrow wall behind the brothers slowly returns to normal. To say that the wall will come back to normal is to say that a double-eyed monster will be freed.

"Grrrrrrrrrr......"

The monster, freed from the wall, jumps to his brothers at first sight. This time, it's absolutely desperate. That's what I thought. Jake meditated his eyes assuming the worst.

………

But no matter how long it took, a double-eyed monster would ever hit his brothers.

"Oh, good. The kids caught my eye, Behemoth."

As Jake slowly opened his eyes, the double-eyed monster lay down next to Raven Gopher. The double-eyed monster, Mott, has his head stroked by a gopher.

Bethel Mott became more calm than she could have imagined from her usual appearance.

"You have that monster?

"A monster is disrespectful. Behemoth is a noble creature that has been called from the world on that side. No matter how smart you are, there's still a world you don't know."

"I know. Black Magic (Grimoire) … It's a power beyond intelligence, gained by signing with the devil. Did you also use black magic (Grimoire) to call the monster?

"I'm telling you that there is a noble name Behemoth, but... in times when even few believe in the devil, you know very well. That's right, smart people, they have a wide range of interests. Those who possess black magic (Grimoire) gain strength that cannot be reached by ordinary people."

By this time, the existence of black magic (Grimoire) had become more known than when Johann and Raven were sailors. Still, few believed in its existence yet.

"I hear black magic (Grimoire) comes at a price. Make great sacrifices to hold great power in your hands. Isn't that funny? Strength is something you don't rely on demons to grasp for yourself."

"Don't keep your mouth shut like Aoyagi found out! There is strength in this world that you can't grasp no matter how hard you try. If paying the price gives you immense power, I will. The powerful can control the powerless."

As a child, Leon had mature thoughts. Later, the gopher will be swallowed up by that power by pursuing too much power, but there is no reason for the gopher to know at this time.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Don't you know that magic can be created without having to bother paying the price? What you're paying for is a wasted sacrifice."

"What is it? ⁉ə"

"Anyway, you don't even know that this world was once one, do you?

"As you know, this world used to be connected to the devil's world. Not only in the devil's world, but also in the angel's. But in the wake of one dispute, the world was divided into three parts. There is a door at each boundary, and no one knows its place"

"For a crappy human being, don't you know it well? Yes, the world was once one. This world of Oz was full of magic a long time ago. This alone makes it a reason why humans can create magic without having to rely on demons. If you still don't know, you're still an idiot."

Leon had knowledge that even the current Bells did not know from an early age.

This world was once one. There was magic all over it, and the traces of it still remain. At the age of 10, Leon was trying to get to his current style of combat.

"Let me tell you, stay on track... I can't look at you sweetly because you're a child."

Scattered and ridiculed, Gopher's indulgence bag broke. As it is, the little brother will be eaten and killed by Behemoth Mott. Seeing Leon continue to do extra things, Jake looked up to heaven.

"You're not going to be able to see anything!

"Why not 8265?"

At that moment, a sphere thrown from somewhere emitted a blurry light in the air, and at the same time smoke began to gush. If I opened my eyes after the gopher blinded me, there was already smoke all over the room.

Since childhood, Leon has been obsessed with invention. Leon just used an item to escape the scene when he was in a state of emergency. When sneaking into the Gopher Mansion, it was something he was bound to take.

"Brother, I did what you did. You're mad at Mr. Gopher again."

"Wouldn't that be great? That was my 29th invention," Blind Demon's Eye, "and it was a good opportunity to actually test the potency.

"That's not what I'm talking about!

Leon and Jake were rushing to the exit in a gap where the gopher was blinding. The trap on the stairs is not activated because the gopher released the trap. The little brother ran up the stairs at full speed.

After climbing the stairs and passing through the room ahead, Leon each went with a "blind demon eye” just before closing the door, filling the escape path with smoke. Doing so dramatically slows the rate at which gophers come after us.

After a few minutes or so, Leon and Jake were safely back home. Their parents were at work on this day and there was no reason to know, such as that two small children had rushed home.

"Ha... ha... brother... I don't want to play this dangerous anymore. I don't like being mad at you. I don't even like to see someone yell at me!

"Instead of being pissed off, Raven Gopher should have been interested in me with that. You must be in awe of me at least!

"I don't want to... Hmm? Sometimes what your brother says is too hard to understand."

You'll see.

From an early age, Leon had acquired many times more knowledge than Jake. The only difference from the present is the lack of sight. Whether it was the late youth or the absolute confidence that comes from complacency, Leon had little fear these days.

In contrast to Leon, who knows no fear, Jake had a strong fear of what happened at the Gopher Mansion. That intense fear had partially erased the memory of this time from Jake.

If I remember, 15 years from now Jake would have searched for the chair of the curse without hesitation.
