The third day I came to visit Isis in his castle... the time is running out and I will be leaving in a few hours.

I think I feel lonely about that because I really enjoyed spending time with Mr. Isis.

We read all kinds of books together and shared our thoughts. We went to the jewellery mining site together and received a lot of jewellery, including the portion to be given to Lilia.

On the second day, Isis came to bathe... and ended up taking another mixed bath, and reason was on the verge of collapsing.

I really have been with Mr. Isis for the last two days...

I didn't feel bad about that, it was rather a very calm and happy time.

Currently, Mr. Isis and I are lining up in the highest room of the castle to see the view, as if to spare Mr. Lilywood time to pick us up.

I will not refuse Mr. Isis, who holds my hand and leans back gently, and I will hold my hand back gently.

"... kite"

"I'll be back. Many times I've remembered metamorphosis magic."

"... yeah"

I had the entrance to my castle remembered by magic as a transfer point with Mr. Isis's permission.

Now you don't have to ask Mr. Lilywood to show you around, you can come and see me easily.

Mr. Isis was really happy about that, and he nodded with a cute smile many times.

"... again... together... will you read the book?

"Absolutely."

"... again... together... will you have dinner?

"Isn't that obvious"

"... again... together... will you take a bath?

"Ugh, sure."

I just couldn't get a quick answer for the last time.

No, of course I'm also a healthy man... it would be a pleasure to have a mixed bath with a beautiful girl... in Mr. Isis's case, I can't think of anything evil because he's really pure and defenseless.

That's why it really felt like I was being jizzily burned with spirit and reason.

……

……

In a time when even the silence to visit is pleasant, Isis's body temperature, which I feel slightly, gently soothes my mind.

This is the way you want to be forever, and it's getting closer and closer for me to get home.

And Mr. Isis and I, at about the same time, sensed that Mr. Lilywood had appeared at the entrance to the castle and tried to start walking sparingly... Mr. Isis drew my hand.

"... kite"

"Huh?"

"...... eh"

"Hey!?

Mr. Isis' body floats fuzzily and immediately afterwards a slightly damp soft feel touches his cheeks.

When I understood that Sole was Mr. Isis' lips, I felt so much heat that my face seemed to boil at once.

"... much more than before Kate came... much more... much more like it"

"... Eye... Mr. Sith"

"... forever... waiting... kite... love it"

The smile of Isis, who tells him so, was many times prettier than the snowy scenery coming down, and he caught my eye.

I stared at Isis with a smile, and as the sweet, warm air flowed...... I heard her voice bewildered.

'... Um... uh, me, shall I come back out?

"Whew!? Ri, Mr. Lilywood!?

Looking back, there was Mr. Lilywood with a very awkward look on his face, and I was in a hurry to make an explanation.

"Thank you for sending me"

'... No, this is the one to thank. I've never seen Isis so happy. Thanks to Mr. Kite.'

While buying souvenirs, etc. on the road, they send Mr. Lilywood to the gate to exchange thanks and greetings.

My first visit to the demonic world was full of surprises and happiness, and most importantly, I really enjoyed the time I spent with Mr. Isis, and I wanted to come back and see him.

Smiling at Mr. Lilywood, who has thanked me many times, I slowly approach the gate and return to the world.

In an instant the scenery switched...... and I immediately noticed the discomfort.

There should have been only people there when they came, but now there was no one around the big gate.

I hear a dry applause in my ear sitting in that so creepy sight.

"... it's great. Miyama Kite."

"... Phantom King"

The view in front of him, with a high voice, blurs, and a Phantom King appears dressed in a chained robe.

"I didn't know Clams and Magnawell would like it... no, I can't find any more words to honor you"

……

"Don't stare at me with such a hot gaze, my chest's gonna pound."

"... you, what is the purpose really..."

He's as creepy as ever, and I know as a matter of course that I met Mr. Magnawell in the demonic world.

Only he really doesn't know what's coming close to me for.

When I met him before, he used to say things like "discerning"... but is it still part of his trial?

"... Miyama Kite... do you think there will be strength in your heart?

"What?"

"Mind… the only part of you that can stand on the same mound as our Six Kings, with only a fragile flesh, I want to see it"

……

The Phantom King slowly moves his legs as he tells him so, and goes towards the giant gate.

And when he moves to the front of the gate, he starts walking on the pillars, even though he says gravity doesn't exist.

"Yeah, well, that was my purpose. It's not a big deal... I just want you to take down KromeEina."

"Become!?

Walking vertically through the pillars, the Phantom King declares in an unpleasant voice that sounds somewhere fun.

He wants me to take down Cro...

"Whoa, that was a bad way to put it. It's not like I want you to hurt ChromeEina."

……

"Right...... say how best to describe it...... oh, here's how to describe it." I Want You to Save ChromeEina ""

"Save Cro... Save?

He really doesn't know what he's talking about.

Saving Cro is what I say. What the hell does that mean?

"... I know what it's like to wonder. But I'm sorry, but I can't tell you everything yet... just let me tell you this. I now think you are the only one in this world who could possibly pay for the darkness of Chromeaina"

"... pay for the darkness of Chro?

"But at the same time, I'm still lost. Sure, you can say you're more of a delicacy than I imagined... but still, I don't think it's enough to fight Kromeina"

……

I'm not denigrating me, the emotions of the Phantom King... I can't read well with sensitive magic, but I understand that this word is from the heart.

Then the Phantom King stops around the middle of the gate and slowly turns this way to continue his words.

"… so show me that your wings are not false and hardened with vanity, but true strength that you will not burn near the sun…"

"I mean, do you want me to show you through the trials again?

"Oh, you're right. That said, you've already survived three trials. The only trial I'm going to impose on you is' two left '... I'm counting on it. After all the trials, you stand before me..."

"... if I survive all that trial and all that... let me hit you once"

The Phantom King tells me there are two trials left in a high voice.

The first trial is the raid, the second is the raid of Mr. Megid, the third is the encounter with Mr. Magnawell... so perhaps the Phantom King will show up before me when one trial is over.

Based on what has been said so far, I find it difficult to escape, and I utter my words as I stare at the Phantom King.

"I don't mind. No, rather, I'll gladly accept it, you just hit me as much as you want."

"... Sole, are you serious?

"Of course. If you survive all five trials... as a reward, I swear allegiance to you."

"... what?

"If you want to hit me, I'll beat you up. If you want me to show you my face, I'll respond to that, if you want me to hold you, I will gladly bow to you... I promise I will be yours."

"... yeah... what the hell..."

I started saying things I don't understand.

Huh? If I survive all the trials, the Phantom King will be mine? What's scary about it?

At the end of my stunned gaze, the Phantom King disappears and appears right in front of me after.

It should be right around the corner, but the face hidden in the hood seems to be black, so I can't see it at all.

"Huh!?

"But now I'm going to give you a reward for surviving the third trial."

"... What's this?

The bundle of paper that the Phantom King has offered me while saying it's a reward, and what it says, is silly that I don't know what it means either, but I know it's some kind of information.

When he looked at me tilting his neck, the Phantom King uttered an incredible word.

"... four years ago, it's information about someone who framed Division II, once led by Lilia Alberto, into a trap"

"Become!?

"That alone can't prove anything. But if you look familiar with the world behind you... you might be able to grab some tail."

……

How far do you really know about him? I didn't know Lilia even knew the existence of the vengeance she was looking for...

The story of all the information gathering under the Phantom King doesn't seem to be a lie either.

And after confirming that I received a bunch of paper, the Phantom King flicks himself quietly.

"... So, Miyama Kite. I'll see you when I get through the fourth trial."

……

That's how the Phantom King disappeared.

Keeping a new mystery in my mind again...

Dear Mother, Father - On the way home from Mr. Isis' castle, the Phantom King appeared before me three times. As always, I don't know what I'm thinking, and I don't know my sincerity in the end. Really, he's the most mysterious person I've ever met.
