Episode 43: Mysterious Woman

"Though I was separated, I didn't know those seven star angels wouldn't have hands or feet. Let's just say it's a boulder."

That was a woman's voice. Eventually my eyes will catch the look of it. She is relatively tall and her hair is short red. She looks in her early twenties and is quite beautiful. Apparently they were watching us fight Gabriel now.

"... who are you? Are you one of the Seven Star Angels?

"I'm afraid I'm a very normal person. I can only use some spells."

The woman seemed completely unafraid of me in front of the king. This may be the first time a person has seen this look and been flat.

"My name is Sasha. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. No, should I call you Master Ute?

My body moved unconsciously to this statement.

"How do you know that name……!?"

Only the demons of the King's army and Mr. Kiel should know the name of Ute. How did this guy get that name...!?

"I know, anything about you. You have people like Henri and Peta, and you have a sister named Lina."

What, until that happens!? And I even find out about Lina. No way. Is there a demon in the champion's army leaking information?

But don't show upset. Unless this is a fortitude as a champion.

"Where did you get that information?

"You'd have an idea. You must have a spell that makes it possible."

I think a little. And the name of a spell came to my mind.

"Are you kidding me?

"Your answer. With [Thousand Eyes], you can fly your sight anywhere in the world. Besides, I also possess [Thousand Miles] spells."

"[Thousands of miles smell]...?

"Simply put, it's an auditory version of [Thousand Eyes]. These two will give me access to all the information in the world. Regardless, it's about the king. I've been observing you ever since you came back to this world."

Seriously. I had no idea that some humans would possess [a thousand eyes]. Besides, I didn't know you even possessed a spell called [Thousand Miles Heard]. But I was a little horrified to find out that someone in the Hegemon Army didn't leak information.

"... are there other people like you?

"Probably not. It is said that not one person in a hundred years can use [Chirii Eye]. [Thousands of miles asked] as well. Not to mention that the people who possess both will be nowhere else but me when they look at history. I bet the same can be said of demons and angels."

That's good. If anyone could use a hundred or two hundred [Thousand Eyes] or [Thousand Eyes], I wouldn't have enjoyed it.

"By the way, I'm here because the spell of [Future Prediction] saw a future in which the King and the Seven Star Angels would fight on this occasion"

"... well, can we also predict the future? That's pretty good."

And although I tried to say it from above with a gaze, I was quite surprised inside. You're no longer on the level that you can use some spells. Who the hell is this guy?

"Phew. It just sounds ironic to be praised by a king who possesses a huge number of spells."

"It's not sarcasm or anything. The rest is honestly impressed..."

So I realized something and stopped talking.

Wait a minute. You said you'd been observing me the whole time, right? That means......

Do you know the rest of it?

"About that? You mean your contents are normal people?

I knew it!! You're listening perfectly to my conversation with Lina!! Shit, they're holding my biggest weakness!!

"The king who reigns at the summit of the devil was actually originally a human being, what a commotion it would be if he found out."

Sasha laughs like she doesn't like it. Did this guy come here to threaten me...!?

Relax, I'll never let you get upset. We just have to do everything in our power to keep her from recognizing this as weak.

"Pfft, if you want to rose, you can rose on your own. The demons who serve the rest truly admire the rest. Even if the rest of us are exposed as human beings, our system will not shake."

"Right. So there's nothing wrong with falling apart?

What, are you coming?

This is crazy. This is... The majority of demons hate humans, and if they did, they wouldn't have figured out what the demons would do. My spine freezes just imagining what would happen if Henri found out that I especially hated humans among them.

"Ha, it's a joke. I have no interest in what happens to your system."

I was greatly relieved in my heart. I'm glad this guy isn't the kind of person who flinches and blackmails his weakness. If I was bad, I could have been the wingman who would have taken her life to seal her mouth.

"Then what was the purpose of your appearance before you? So you can fight with the rest of us here?

"No way. As I said earlier, I'm a very normal person. There's no way I can beat a champion like that."

I have a question as to whether a very normal person would be able to use [Thousand Eyes] or [Future Prediction], but let's put that aside.

"Besides, I have a foot injury right now. There is no obstacle to everyday life, but it is equally impossible such as combat. Well, with or without injury, if I fight you, they'll kill me for seconds."

"... you mean the rest of your life isn't what you're after"

"Oh. I'm going to keep my mouth shut about this. I have no reason to be after your life in the first place."

"So what's your purpose? I didn't show up before the rest without any purpose."

"... right"

After a period of silence flowed, Sasha lowered her head deeply.

"Do me a favor. Please be my companion."

!!

It was totally unexpected, so I was taken aback for a moment.

"Huh. Knock..."

And I can't help but laugh.

"What's wrong? I'm serious."

"No, I'm sorry. I had no idea a man would show up trying to keep this champion company. I thought you were a more sensible woman, but this is hilarious. Do you know what you're talking about?

"Naturally. I'm here to keep you company."

I feel a very strong will from Sasha's eyes. Apparently she means it.
