Manowa

◎ Corda Cancer Mansion, King Amoria, Demonic Power

At the same time that Naoki and the devil-possessed dragons were fighting at the Amoria Purification Tsuka, Louise and Jinlai, who were acting from the hotel, and Shippu, were now on their way down the aisle in the garden to the Cancer family mansion.

"There's no sign of anyone."

"Yes."

Jinlai said so as she looked around and Louise nodded with a slightly anxious look as well. Nevertheless, Louise and the others are not the only ones on the spot. Sebastian, a deacon dedicated to Zekwu, was in front of him and was leading the Louise.

"Mr. Sebastian. Um... where is everyone else?

"Ha. All the others were taken by Lord Lower. I can't tell you what it is."

Louise frowns when she hears the answer to her own question. Apparently, Rhoa headed to the Purifying Tsuka with his total distribution.

"Loa. What the hell are you going to do?

"That's a lot more daunting for one Naoki. Well, if you're Naoki now, the dragon won't be behind you sooner, and if you know what it's capable of, it's a legitimate assessment."

As far as Jinlai's perception was concerned, it should have been possible to cut the scales if it were a parallel dragon with the full force of Naoki today, and even to do so once and for all.

Nevertheless, Jinlai didn't even think that Lower had grasped it, and Jinlai was convinced by one person that it would simply be because he was alerted as one of a bunch of whites with a bunch of crooks.

(That said, I don't think it's much though...)

Louise was Louise, and she was even more frowned upon when she looked at the Mansion.

There is tranquility as if we were the only ones in this mansion. Or maybe he made the others pull away from the mansion in order not to show anything backwards... but Louise thought.

(Were you going to possess the demon on Naoki and even do that test here?

Around the corner where Louise concludes alone that the guess is roughly correct, they reach the front door of the mansion.

And after Sebastian, Louise and the others went into the hall of the entrance, and an old man stood on the stairs in the front.

◎ In the house of the Corda Cancer, King Amoria, the great demon power

"Grandpa..."

Louise snaps, Jinlai stands up... but changes his attitude just a little so he can turn into battle at any time. Zekku Cancer was the only one waiting inside the mansion.

Zekku comes down the stairs without paying any particular attention to the surprise Louise and the alarming Jinlai look.

"Dear Zeku, I have brought you a guest"

When Sebastian says so, Zekku says "Thank you" and goes straight down the stairs.

Louise smiled as she looked at Zeku happily for a moment, but as I immediately remembered, she squeezed that face and stepped forward.

"Grandpa, it's yesterday."

One of my responses affects the safety of Naoki. You can't make mistakes. Zekwu also returns the words "Well done Louise" to Louise, who opened her mouth with that in mind.

"And Lord Jinlai. Big cat, I think I said Shippu. You are quite a rare guest. I like cats, too. I get people to take a nap a lot."

Louise relaxes her cheeks a little on that word.

"Your grandfather doesn't seem to change."

"Well, I've been a grandfather for the last few hundred years. I am."

That's what Zekku laughs at. As Zekku said, Zekku's appearance wasn't any different from what Louise knew before.

"Sister Louise"

Jinlai speaks from behind that interaction. I have a story here that I can finish before I blossom into public discourse. Louise nodded to Jinlai, who would tell him that out of the blue, and then looked at Zeku.

"Yeah, yeah. Right, Jin-rai-kun. Grandpa. I came here today to ask you a favor."

"Ho. That's unusual for Louise. You had a habit of not relying on people... but are you getting old and round, or because you have been blessed with good company?

Louise was driven by a slight tickle in return. The content of the story that lies ahead is never bright. Louise also keeps talking as she squeezes her mouth tight.

"Our proxy, Lower Cancer, has taken our people. They seem to have charged me with the devil, but it's obviously a wrong decision. In the name of Louise the Devil Hunter, I declare it."

Zekwu also nodded at the words of Louise, urging him by hand to continue talking.

"Yes, so to be honest, I'm sorry that I couldn't trust Lower's response, but I was hoping you could help me."

"I see. Lower..."

As Zeku rubbed his chin beard, he showed a bare gesture of thinking a little bit. Then Zekwu asks Louise.

"So, Louise. What do you want?

"Yes. Just saying you're not a demon won't get through to that woman anyway. That's why I'd like to confirm it publicly. My people have already been captured, and there shouldn't have been any point in having to purposefully seal the Great Purifying Tsuka and shut it down to find out."

To Louise's words, Zeku also returns, "Well, it's the best," he says. Then Zekwu sees Sebas.

"I don't have a choice. Sebastian, this is going to be a little bit of a story. Stay back."

"Ha."

To Zekwu's words Sebastian went on to Zekwu on the spot, then bowed his head to the Louise and disappeared into the back of the mansion.

Then Zekku opened his mouth just to make sure Sebastian was gone.

"So Louise wants to help her buddy Naoki..."

That's what Zeku said and laughed. Louise nodded, too, but saw Zeku with a hazy face at the discomfort of the word.

"Grandpa?

Louise did say she had a buddy... but she didn't say it until it was Naoki. If so, it would mean that Zekku has been told the name of a member of the White Regiment detained by someone else.

(No way, Roa already turned her hand?

If so, it may be harder to ask Zekku on this occasion. Yes. As Louise thought and frowned, Zeku laughed and shook his neck sideways.

"Don't worry, Louise. Naoki-kun is safe. He's going to be released without any problems like this."

"Is that true?

Louise unexpectedly asks back. Seeing the look on that serious Louise's face, Zeku nodded yeah.

"Well, I do know you're worried. Lower has always tended to be a little unstable."

"If it was about Lower, it always seemed unstable to me."

Zeku laughs at Louise for returning it.

"I guess that's because it was before you were around."

Additionally, I thought there was Louise by Zeku.

"Well, don't worry. For once, I hit him in the hand."

"Grandpa. You've been guessing everything."

Louise looks impressed with Zekwu's words.

Zekku already knew Naoki had been caught and had already dealt with it. When Louise was asked about it, she said in her heart that the old man in front of her was still comfortable.

"Oh, I suppose so. Naoki-kun is rescued without any particular injury. Even for Lower, the disposition should be over soon. Nothing wrong."

"... what?

To the words that went on, Louise didn't know what she was being told.

"Oh, Grandpa, now what...?

Jinlai steps forward next to upset Louise.

As Louise was also leaning her neck toward the action, Jinlai grabbed the two spears and pointed them at Zeku.

"Jinlai-kun?

Already Jinlai's consciousness saw Zeku as an enemy. Louise realizes it moves to stop it, but Jinlai opens her mouth before it does.

"What does that mean?

"Hmm. Jinlai Barnes? You're a sharp man. You know Louise falls in love."

"Until Grandpa!? Jinlai-kun, stop!

Louise screams, but Jinlai doesn't untie her. Then Zekku opens his cognition with a little shrugging of his shoulders.

"What do you mean...? Well, sanctions. Lower has sinned."

"Sanction?"

"Oh, I know. He killed Joshua."

"Ah... Huh?

Louise opened her eyes to the words.

"Grandpa, what is that...?

"I finally admitted it. That's why I decided to sanction Lower. Louise, why don't you complain?

Louise's eyes swam at the words of Zeku, and he looked at Zeku alternately, and then at Jinlai.

In advance of the revealed facts, Louise did not know what to think. Whether that word was right or not...... even Louise didn't get it. But Jinlai didn't say anything to that Louise about Goto, he kept his gaze on Zeku, and then asked.

"For one thing, let me check, okay?

"Say it."

Continue the words as Jinlai nods at Zekku's words.

"Are you the devil?

Zekku looks intrigued by the question.

"You think so?

"No."

Jinlai returned that to Zekku, who inquired the other way around.

Besides, Zekwu nodded satisfactorily, and there was also a slight grin in Louise's expression, which was at the extreme of the confusion. Jinlai also admitted that Zekku was not a demon, although his foot was unstoppable.

"Then I guess not."

Hearing that Zekwu say, Louise sees Jinlai. Zeku is not a demon. So I expected Jinlai to put down his spear too. But Jinlai's structure is not solved, and the question that goes on releases from his mouth.

"Well, I'd like to ask you another question."

"I don't mind."

Jinlai nods at Zekku's words, opening his mouth.

"Are you the one who attacked the eastern dragon Rizegan?

"Jinlai-kun!?

Louise screamed without thinking about that too direct question,

"Oh, yes, I am."

Louise's expression freezes on Zekwu's words returned.

"I attacked the eastern dragon and killed the Black North Hougen... one of the seven great sins"

And Louise's ear was told the answer she didn't want to hear.
