In the suburbs, far from the centre of Kagne, there was the appearance of chocolate.

She's always relaxed, but now she doesn't feel any more emotional than usual.

It's like a doll.

Chocolate chews her fingers and whistles.

In response to that sound, something like a pigeon appeared.

At first glance, it looks like a pigeon, but you can see that the tip of the wings is dyed black and horns are growing, so it's not normal.

A subspecies of pigeons that inhabit the western continent.

It is a pigeon that is often used among demon tribes to send commands because it can continue to fly at super high speeds without rest.

Chocolate took out the message and tied it to the pigeon's leg.

It's a pigeon.

Simple, but therefore effective.

Because it does not use magic, it does not get caught by boundaries or be detected.

"Go."

Chocolate signaled the pigeon to fly.

It will soon disappear into the sky.

Looking at that, Chocolate smiled....

The eyes are then turned up in surprise.

Suddenly, the pigeon came back.

Is there a problem?

As he watched in surprise, the pigeon didn't come to Chocola... he got down to Rain.

――――――――――

"Why...?

This development seemed unexpected, and Chocolate had a surprising color in her eyes.

Then take a step back to be alert.

"Nothing, I don't think."

What?

"The repair of the comet's sword is supposed to be classified, but when it comes to Kagne, Lean shows up. Lean and Monica will follow us to the North Continent as well. It's too soon to gather information anywhere."

"That's...."

"For the Demons, the Eastern Continent is an enemy land. Gathering information in such places will limit speed. It's almost impossible to act quickly in enemy territory. And yet, I gathered the information easily. I can't do it the normal way. But... what if someone else is getting mixed up?

……

"It's natural to think that way. That's why it's natural for me to get to this answer."

I'll stroke the throat of a pigeon on my arm with my fingertips.

A loud squeal resembling a kuru and a pigeon.

Seems like I've seen it, and I've never seen it.

Blood is tingling as a beast tamer.

If I have time, I'd like to investigate the ecology carefully.

Well....

We have to deal with him now.

"Why do you think I betrayed you?

"I didn't know if I could punch it."

Huh?

Too much behavior has been previewed, leading to suspicion of the existence of an intervener.

However, the identity is unknown.

If we look closely around us, we may be able to identify ourselves.

However, if you do that, you will realize that you are suspected.

They must disappear somewhere without us stepping on the shadows.

So I avoided any action that would identify the person in between.

Instead, we decided to predict, analyze, and trap the next course of action.

The result... is this.

We succeeded in finding a man named Chocolate.

No, no, no.

Should I say who looked like chocolate?

"Who are you?

"I'm chocolate?

"No, it's not. It's impossible for chocolate to be in between."

"How can you say that?

'Cause he's an important friend of Chiffon's.

……

"Their bonds are real. No matter what happens, it's impossible to betray me."

Tickling, chocolate laughs.

"It's an ideal as sweet as sugar. Humans betray easily, don't they? No matter who you are, no matter what."

"Still, I believe you. I believe that their bond prevails over anything else."

"Oh my god... I can't believe that such childish thoughts are causing my lies to be discovered. Hmm, a little shocked."

When you got here, did you decide that there was nothing you could do to hide it?

Or is it an unexpectedly clean character?

Someone in chocolate stopped making the tone resemble.

"I'll ask you again. Who the hell are you?

……

After a moment of reflection, someone in the shape of chocolate smiles.

"Yeah, that's fine. I'll tell you who I am."

……

"You don't have to be so vigilant. This is a reward for finding me. Besides... you're pretty much expecting it, aren't you?

"... are you a demon?

It's because of you ♪

He smiled and spinned on the spot.

How it works, her appearance changes in that moment.

She looks like a girl about ten years old.

She is short and thin enough to break just by touching her body.

Silver hair is lightly waved.

The clothes worn are full of ruffles and look like dolls.

"My name is Mona. Best regards."

"I'm not going to say hello to the demons."

"Hmm, is that okay?

What?

"You humans don't know anything about us demons, do you? I simply think of it as the natural enemy of all creatures. Why attack humans? Are you trying to destroy another creature? I don't know anything about why."

……

"Well, most people think the reason doesn't matter. Yeah. Is that right? As a matter of fact, there are enemies who attack, and there is no one who thinks about the other's situation. Intercepting without thinking is the right thing to do. But...."

Mona laughs.

She looks like a little girl, but the smile is very evil.

"Is that okay with you? Without knowing the truth, I simply decided to destroy the enemy... is that enough to convince you?

"The demons have a cause?

"I wonder. From the human side, I wonder if it will be a cause. But we have a reason to be. Well, not all demons are the same. But at least I don't think the Demon King has a cause."

If Mona's words were true, I would be very concerned.

It's not a good thing to miss.

Just...

"For now, I will only think about catching you."

I was ready to move at any time.

In addition, Canade, Tania, and Chiffon appear to surround the front, rear, left and right of Mona.

Of course, I'm not working alone.

I talked to everybody in advance, and they followed me when I was in a hurry.

"Hmm, is this a bit unfavourable? In the first place, I can only transform, and I'm not very good at fighting."

"Transformation?"

"That's right. I think I've seen it, but I can transform into anyone. So I was regularly pretending to be one of yours, diving in and gathering information."

"... I'm talking to a lot of people, but is it okay if I think about it?

Marusa...

While laughing, Mona took out the same magic equipment that Monica had in her possession.

"We already have a way out, so I'm showing you some room. I've taught you a lot of things, a reward for finding me."

"Canade!

"Yan!

Bye, bye.

Although the canade moves like the wind, it still can't make it.

Mona disappeared to dissolve in the air.
