I was silent on Hannah's words so that I could think of Mr. Leona as well.

I could perish.

Because I couldn't even imagine how much emotion was in that word.

"Do you think it was a mistake that a race called the Demon Nation survived to this day?"

"I don't think that far. It's just... I wish I could just end it, rather than show hope badly."

What the hell has this guy been looking at?

When I get here, I look distorted somewhere.

"The demon kingdom before the demon king was resurrected... my homeland seemed so terrible. There were times when even the food of the day could not be procured satisfactorily, and most importantly… every day to live, to trick and kick someone down."

……

"But when I was a kid, I was an idiot. In such a routine, I have something that I don't want to be good."

Mr. Hannah walking forward leans down and goes on to utter the words.

Is it getting cornered and mentally unstable, and the tone is throwing somewhere too?

"Around the corner, I've been collecting nuts for just one sister... give my share to a child who was going down... and when I realized it, he hit me in the head from behind..."

"... Hannah?"

You haven't even heard her try to speak up, she goes on to utter words.

"When I woke up, there was no child who was going down. All the food collected with desperate thoughts had also been taken...... My sister hasn't spoken of food in days, not even that...... ugh!"

So Hannah finally returns to me and looks at this one.

As if, holding her mouth down to regret telling her something she didn't want her to know, she spoke quietly as she set her tone.

"No matter what kindness you have, all you have to do is get trampled. That's why I turned to the side of deception. No matter how alive or dirty you are, no matter how much you are cursed, because you want to live..."

……

"... I wonder what you're talking about. Are you going to confess... even though you're the devil's opponent..."

I can't say anything to her who laughs at herself like that in words.

Being treated like a genuine demon made me understand so reluctantly that demons have demonic circumstances as a way through.

I knew it, but there's no way I wouldn't worry about hearing it.

Then I realize that Nair is trying to talk to Mr. Hannah.

"... What about my sister?"

"Dead."

Just one word, that word makes my heart even heavier.

Then they all go down the newly found stairs without uttering a word.

Finally, at the end of the long descent from it, we go out into a wide aisle lined with marble-like floors and columns.

I've been down the stairs a few times, but I'm finally getting a castle-like interior.

"Is it still far from the Demon King?"

"If you go through this passage and down the last staircase, it will be the bottom floor. You won't be able to avoid soldiers from here."

"... you didn't run into a soldier so disgusting so far"

Indeed, it was the signs of soldiers that were felt, but that number seemed small.

You can't be concentrating your soldiers on the search up there.

Possible possibilities include the lowest level where the Demon King is and the surroundings - ugh!

"--- please stop"

An olfactory sensation enhanced by assimilation with brulin captures the reaction of the enemy.

Is it going straight this way?

"Usato, what's wrong?"

"A lot of people are approaching here. In it - it also smells so sweet that it's not less than seniors and kazuki.... Ferm, reinforce your assimilation."

"Oh."

Strengthened reflection with Burlin produces beast ears on my head.

Mr. Hannah is raising his surprise next door, but ignores it to see how the other person reacts.

"I'm not lost in footsteps. He's in the lead… probably the Legion Leader!"

It's a move we know we're here.

Nair, hearing my detection, grabs Hannah's shoulder, which is awkward.

"Inevitable?"

"Mm, I can't. This is a one-way street, and most importantly, you have to go a long way to get stairs other than this one!"

"Then there will be no other way to fight"

Turn the sword into a spear that Mr. Leona was equipped to hide on his hips while wearing a hood.

Me too, for now, I pull in my beast ears and change my mind so that I can develop into battle at any time while wearing my demonic disguise.

Carefully going down the aisle in the guise of nature as much as possible, a red-haired demonic woman appears with a group of soldiers from the front.

"Hmm. In the meantime, do you want me to peel the skin off..."

At the same time that the hearing enhanced by assimilation heard such a grunt, the woman who at some point pulled out her sword - Armilla Belgred - had unleashed a flame so enormous that it covered her eyes on us.

"Usato!"

"Yes!"

Mr. Leona, who took off his hood, stood up like a spear, releasing a wave of cold air forward.

Along with that, I stick my hands forward - releasing a healing burst wave, holding back the cold air, and accelerating its momentum.

Cold air walls wrapped around flames and green particles clash and a roar echoes.

"Looks like you've gone deep enough."

"Armilla Belgred!"

Armilla walks forward with the water vapor she can get in and looks at us.

Unlike the soldiers on the ground, the soldiers behind me aren't even a little scared to look at me.

"Scattered to this point, I'm not afraid of Usat, who has been terrorizing the demons as demons... I wonder if that means elite"

"Usato, be careful. These guys are gonna come at us with the desire to kill the devil. '

Sometimes I wonder if you're on my side.

Terrible around serious.

I don't like demons either!?

But I agree with the word elite.

Now that we are quite close to the Demon King, the soldiers who defend their surroundings should also boast the appropriate level of skill and strength.

Armira isn't the only one in trouble...!

"There was only certainty that you would have come this far, but I didn't expect you to come, Usat, not the brave Suzune"

"... I didn't want to fight you."

It goes badly with Armilla.

An opponent who is finally able to fight decently after assimilation with Ferm but still doesn't want to fight much.

Armilla smiles invincibly at my words like that.

"Really? I wanted to fight you once, didn't I? Someone with a non-standard teacher. I thought we had a lot to talk about."

"Well, there will be plenty..."

Stupid, huh?

I think it's just stupidity rather than that.

That's all I have left to be unreasonable.

"And Miarak's Ice Brave? We never had a chance to see each other on the battlefield ahead, but we have heard of the martial arts that buried the large Baldinak"

……

"And..."

I turn my gaze from Leona, who spears silently, to Hannah, who is trying to hide behind me.

"--- I didn't know you were captured by the enemy. Third Legion Leader"

"Huh!?"

"I don't know if they're threatening me, but what impudence.... No, isn't that what I could have said that was a former Third Corps leader"

Armilla quickly sharpens that eye when she sees Ms. Hannah upset and smiles mocking herself.

"But it's strange. The information above tells me that you were wiped out by the magic of the brave men of light... why are you being held captive by them?"

"Oh, that's..."

"The Demon King had already foreseen your thoughts. But if you betrayed us and led the brave men to this place..."

Can't you find an excuse, Mr. Mouthful Hannah?

Did you show your men the phantom of dying from the story and then run away?

Seeing her unable to even respond, Armilla turns the cutting edge of her sword to this way after only a moment of bitter expression.

"--- At the earliest, words are unnecessary. Brave men and healing wizards, all burying traitors"

"Coming!"

Moments, flames burn with so much momentum that they mistakenly see it as an explosion in front of you.

……! Awesome flame!

At least, it's extraordinarily stronger and hotter than the flames I've seen before!!

To prevent a blowing hot air, he created and defended a shield made of black magic to protect himself and Mr. Hannah behind him - Mr. Leona, next to me, was spearing into Armilla with cold air.

"This degree of heat, etc!"

"You Ice Brave!!"

A spike rolled out and a sword waved to shake it up collide, and a tall metal noise echoes through the aisle.

Armilla grins when she sees her own weapon being bounced off, Mr. Leona gives a rugged look and exchanges a sword with a spear.

"Interesting!!"

"Strong...!"

Mr. Leona and Armilla.

Flames and cold air collide with each other's gains swinging.

Hot air and cold air - I don't know if it's hot or cold anymore. In front of the breeze and trying to cover from me too, Hannah, who had a lump in the aftermath of the battle, ran out behind her back.

"Yes, now...!"

Should it be called reflexive?

Reach out to Hannah and grab her arm as she turns her back on us and tries to escape.

"... ugh!"

"Ah..."

Look at the arm caught by me, her expression stains with despair.

That's when I remembered her story earlier, even though I was only a little bitter - let go of the hand I grabbed.

Turning around, he wipes out the flames that Mr. Leona's magic couldn't offset with a healing magic bursting palm.

"I don't remember being a demon to my heart!"

"... hey, why... ugh!"

"So far, thank you! I'll be fine later!!"

That's what I say to her when she looks at her free hand and me.

Without turning around, I wrap up the dark magic of the Ferm.

"Usat! Hannah got away!?"

"You don't have to chase me! Nair, it's assimilation!!"

…… Yes! I get it!! "

Nair, transformed into an owl, jumps into my body and assimilates.

As she confirms that her presence is within, a voice is heard from the Ferms who are within.

"Usato"

"Ferm, are you ready!"

"No, he said he wasn't a demon to his heart. You, for once you were human, but you admitted you were a demon... '

"Mr. Leona! I'll cover you!!"

Violently regretting the words I accidentally uttered, I turn to Armilla, who is fighting against Mr. Leona.
