Leaving the armor wrapped around the shining vale to Takuaida, Kuido stood before Io.

"Father..."

"Kuido... Long time no see."

"Ah...... So, why is my father one of the Demon Warlords?

Kuido asked Io the natural question.

Then Io stared at Kuido with a serious look on his face, then turned away and opened his mouth.

"I have a mission... Failed a top-secret mission. That's all..."

"Hey...... I'm not sure I'm convinced by that explanation though. After my dad was gone, I... walnuts... Do you have any idea what it was like?

Whoa, whoa.

Since the disappearance of Iori, the head of the Kanazaki family with the street name of "Kensei", said to be the strongest in history, the two still young Kuido and Walnut were automatically to inherit the role of the Kanazaki family, inherited from generation to generation, of protecting the princess witch of Yamato.

But most people didn't think it would be a good idea to have two instead of Io, who was trusted and respected by the Yamato people.

- Are you the head of the Kanzaki family? There's no way you can replace Mr. Io...

- There's no way a princess can protect a child like that.

- I don't think the Kanzaki family is over...

Walnut, who kept getting such a voice of condemnation, sometimes blocked his father, Io, from suddenly missing for a time.

When he saw his sister like that, Kuido held a certain determination in his heart.

- Try to be strong enough not to complain to anyone for the Walnuts or Kanzaki family to cross the father and win the trust of the Yamato people...

Then Kuido has continued to receive requests every day as if he had been possessed by something, perfectly fulfilling all requests. When walnuts could only accompany Kuido, who could not leave alone that madly stained look, and realised that Kuido had even become an SS ranked adventurer.

And by defeating the SS-ranked monster known as Ragnacang, who suddenly appeared in Yamato, Kuido was regarded as a hero by the people of Yamato, winning people's trust and becoming a young and respected being.

Whoa, whoa.

"I... I admire your strength, your desire, your kindness more than anyone else, your jealousy, your respect... really... I was so proud of you..."

Itsuki closed her eyes for the first time and opened her tease to the words of Kuido, who shrugged and murmured.

"Hey... Kuido. Me... no, to me... can you show my father? What you've been cultivating."

"Suddenly what?"

"Can't you?

He asked Iori to provoke him to block the confused words of Kuido.

And Kuido looked at Io's serious expression, which he had provoked, and the kind of eyes he had decided to be ready for something. Kuido narrowed his eyes and asked Io back.

"I'll get you on that cheap provocation. And if I win, I'll get you to talk about it... and be ready, Dad."

"You're starting to say... If you can do it, do it..."

Each of the two smiling invincibly set up a spirit knife and a black knife as they hit each other with killing intent.
