Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Episode XVI Demons of the Demonic Realm ③

The next day I defeated a flock of chimeras and a flock of behemoths.

Big big demons were slowly being summoned by demon squares in some part of the underground city.

My eyes are closed to see if I will be summoned in my sleep, but still I was unintentionally freaked out by my vicious face enough.

"Wow. This is definitely not a good guy if you call it in"

He's only out to his shoulder yet, but at this rate, he'll be fully summoned in an hour or two, and he'll start his activities.

Still, what kind of demon is this?

(This demon is as demonic as it gets into five fingers even in the demonic world, and those who see it are dead, so it hasn't been named yet. If you get ravaged by this demon, I don't think the Leos will ever lose...... I recommend you take them down before they summon you completely because this place will surely collapse)

Seriously? That, we have to hurry.

Well, isn't it pretty bad that everyone you see is killed?

That magic item, that's a hell of a performance.

"Hey, can I turn it off like I promised?

"Yeah, fine. No, I'd rather hurry."

Truth is, I don't know what's out there, so do it fast.

"Okay. Yes!"

"True, any opponent has nothing to do with it..."

With that said, I pitied a demon entering five fingers in the demonic realm, whose head had been wiped off by a swing of Lou's arm.

"Humph."

Lou seems to be in a good mood for something big to break.

"So do you want to retrieve the bodies, including the demons you defeated yesterday"

"I'll help."

"Thanks"

Then, just the two of us gathered demons...... we couldn't, and we finally succeeded in bringing the golem and packing all the bodies into a dismantled BOX.

Well, I knew from the beginning how impossible it was for just the two of us.

How can you have a behemoth alone?

The materials obtained this time will be made into creative magic materials in the future.

In the meantime, let's do some demonic creation that we can do new later.

You can use the material of the demon that is said to go into the five fingers in the demon kingdom.

"All right, let's go home"

The body was recovered, and me and Lou moved to the castle.

I'm home.

"Welcome back. You've been such a big demon."

When I left, the Shelleys just welcomed me.

Something tells me I want to know what happened to Shelly, who's stuck to Mr. Elsie perfectly, okay now?

"That's right. I think if we were fighting, we'd have sucked."

I would be surprised if my visit with Mr. Elsie was even one day later.

Because it's impossible to deal with that huge crowd of chimeras and the herd of behemoths, those stupid big demons at the same time, and while protecting the Sherries.

"But I'm glad you're safe. Now, the underground is safe, right?

"You don't know that until you see if there are any illegal goods left yet. Tomorrow, I'll look for you."

Probably because there may still be dangerous drugs and magic items left.

Tomorrow, I'll have to look for you.

"Okay. I hope there's nothing more."

"Right."

"Hey, what are you doing today? Why don't you get some rest? Since yesterday, you've been tired of fighting all the time, haven't you?

"Yeah. I'm tired, and I guess that's it for today. Nevertheless, you've been very close to Mr. Elsie."

From now on, I can't help but notice that you're stuck with Mr. Elsie.

What happened between last night and now?

Me, I fell asleep tired and early yesterday, and you don't know because I was in the underground early this morning to be vigilant about the demon summons...

"Really? Huh?"

Yeah, you're obviously getting along.

"Listen to me. Shelly, when we first met, she hated me so much, but she was so sweet as soon as we got angry and got along yesterday."

"Well, that's the usual thing... Still, you're really good."

Leaving it at Lou's, I'm only angry at first, both at Leena's and Bell's, but we're getting along in the end, aren't we?

But this time it's unusually fast, and you're too close.

"That's right. What do you think Shelly started calling me about Mr. Elsie?

"Huh? What is it...? I can't think of anything."

Listening on purpose would not normally mean Elsie or anything......

"The answer is, Sister El."

Sister El? Sister El......

"Heh ~ That's right ~"

Unexpectedly, I look at Shelley as I nibble.

Mr. Elsie is very solid.

I don't even know how to call you my sister. But I don't.

"Hey, what? Beth, we're not getting along, okay?

"Yeah. I'm so glad you're getting along."

I'm sure, after yesterday's anger, I would have missed it if I'd taken a bath and been nice to you.

I don't know, Shelly has a nostalgic personality.

"Right? Oh, yeah. Remember yesterday's promise?

"Yeah. Promise you'll show me the status of the Shelleys, right?

You promised me yesterday before you went to defeat Behemoth.

"That's right. So yes."

"Ah, ours too!

"Oh, thank you. Well, let me take a look."

While I receive Shelley's cards, I will look in the order of Leena, Mr. Elsie and Belle.

Come on, isn't there something wrong with the magic notation? As it may seem, this has become such a notation because the performance of the status cards has not kept up with the magic of the Shelleys.

Of course, you can find out more with the appraisal.

Well, I don't use appraisal because it's hard to convey awesomeness even when I look at it, with ten multiplier notations anyway.

Still, you've all grown up.

"You've all grown up amazing. Leena, what a Virgin Apprentice you've become."

Finally, Leena became known as the Virgin by the Virgin's grandchildren.

"Oh, you noticed? That's right. It was before I knew it either."

"Heh. What was the condition?

"Come on? If it comes to mind, it's about helping Anna and the others..."

"That's probably it. Leena was really cool back then."

Um, it was the Virgin herself who was helping in a free way.

"Is that true? I'm happy about that."

Praising Leena, it's time to move on to Shelley's time, as Shelley's cheek, which is hugging Mr. Elsie, began to swell.

"Shelley's guide princess is amazing, too, isn't she? I've never seen a profession like this."

Perhaps, in a literal sense, you mean a princess with great magic.

But Sherry would be the only one in the world in this profession.

The princess of the kingdom seems obsessed with jewelry.

"Oh, yeah? I'm only good at magic."

"Yeah. Shelly's magic is amazing. Mr. Elsie, you've got a lot more magic. I think you can create magical items with creative magic."

When I made my first growing misanga, I had less magic than Mr. Elsie now.

"Is that true? I'll try it later! Now we know more about Leo-kun's record..."

"Sister Elle. Let me hear more about that later. Maybe you can use my demon stone..."

Something started Shelly and Mr. Elsie talking about something with Kosokoso.

Maybe these two don't become dangerous together, do they?

Yeah, let's not worry about it. Yeah, it's my fault for that now.

"Belle's strong enough. If you combine unattributed magic with beast magic, you can beat an A-level adventurer?

"Really? I don't feel that strong..."

"Well, I guess I just got my level up. Then I'll give it back because you let me see it."

With that said, I return the cards to everyone.

"Well, now it's Leo's turn"

"Huh? You see mine, too?

Well, I don't know what my status is either.

"Of course not. And show Lou too."

"Fine."

Compared to me, reluctant to show it slightly, Lou gave Shelley a status card without worrying about anything.

Lou lv.38

Age: 11

Race: Demon Race

Occupation: Destroyer

Status: Amnesia

Health: 11000/11000

Magic: * * * */* * *

Force: 6000.

Speed: 8200

Luck: ten.

Attributes: None, Destroy

"Is that it? You're not as amazing as I thought you were Lou's status. Instead of being so strong, why is the level with Bell?"

I looked at the card and first Shelly complained about Lou's level.

"I don't know either."

The attitude of the person at the time was that it didn't matter.

"Anna, I have information, it sounds like a demonic trait. The Demons are slower to rise than men and beasts for long lives."

I told everyone what Anna told me before.

I asked Anna about the same thing, didn't I?

With that in mind, I suddenly felt Lou's face turn blue.

"Huh? Me, you live longer than Leo or Shelley? So, if Leo and the others die, I'll be alone again? One...... ugh......"

That's all I said, Lou squatted on the spot holding his head.

"Lou!? Hey, what's up? Are you okay?"

Suddenly, surprised, I rush to crouch in and rub Lou's back.

"I don't like being alone... I miss you...... Everybody, don't leave me..."

I've largely figured it out. Maybe there's some kind of trauma to being left alone......

Probably a trauma when I was a slave.

"Lou, calm down. We're still decades away, aren't we?

How am I supposed to comfort you? Probably not a good word then.

What's a more reassuring word for Lou?

That way, when I was worried while rubbing Lou's back, Lou looked weird again.

Now my body began to tremble, too.

"I don't like it! Don't leave me! Sister! Sister, don't leave me!

"Sister?

No one in Lou calls me your sister.

That means...

"Maybe it's an old memory that was gone?

"Sister! Why are you leaving me? Please, come home!

"Lou, calm down! Look at me. You're not alone!

I grabbed Lou's shoulder, which was getting weirder and weirder, and I was forced to look at him.

I looked him in the eye...

"Sister. Hey..."

Lou's eyes never looked at me in vain.

And for some reason, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

"Excuse me. I didn't seem to be able to talk to you too much, so I let you sleep with holy magic. I think you'll be calm when you wake up, so let's talk about it carefully."

Apparently, Leena's holy magic has made her fall asleep.

Holy magic must have had magic to calm your feelings.

So I'm sure he'll be calmer than he was earlier when he woke up.

"Yeah, you are. Then I'll stay on your side until Lou wakes up."

"Right. Shall we?"

I decided to carry Lou to bed and keep everyone at Lou's side so he could wake up anytime.

Four Hours Later

SIDE: Lou

"Hmm... that? When was I asleep? Yeah... I don't remember. Besides, it's time for dinner. I need to get up in a hurry...... that?

Over me, someone's arm?

Huh, Leo? And Shelley?

Why? This is my bed, isn't it?

When I got up in a hurry, not only Leo and Sherry, but everyone was asleep in my bed with Suyasuya.

"Everybody fell asleep too. Hehe, it's nice to sleep together"

Besides, I don't know... this feeling.

Very calming......

"Huh. I'm kind of sleepy. Everyone, rest."

With that said, I put my head on the pillow again, closing my eyes as I held Leo and Shelley's hand.
