Although we encountered unexpected enemies named Mitsuki and Ariel and engaged them....

I managed to get rid of both of them.

And we succeeded in securing Mina.

We were also able to capture Verg.

The operation was a great success.....

What's the matter, Rain's husband?

On the way back home, Tina spoke to me.

I must have noticed that he had a subtle expression on his face.

"That's..."

Do you care about Mitsuki and Ariel?

I can't hide anything from Tina.

"Rain's husband is too easy to understand."

"... those two, what was Reinhard's purpose?"

Mitsuki and Ariel seem to have a deal with Reinhardt.

Then it was Reinhardt's intention to secure Mina.

What did he think he'd come into contact with Mina?

What are you trying to do with it?

I couldn't help but notice.

Reinhardt.

I felt that his involvement would make a big difference in the future.

"Well, I don't have enough information right now." I can't help but think about it. "

"Yeah, it's just confusing to think too much."

"Shit. Just keep it in one corner of your head, and now I'm gonna have to clean up another problem."

"Yeah, I know."

I'm worried about Reinhardt's movements, but don't let him distract you too much.

We have secured Mina.

Velg was able to capture them.

For now, let's prioritize our problems.

――――――――――

I went back home and joined up with everyone.

Maybe we should have talked about it in the guild.....

You only have to pay for the content.

It would be a nuisance, and this house is very sturdy because it has been remodeled.

It's designed to function as a simple fortress when you have to, and it's probably better to go back home.

"Well......"

Everyone is aligned.....

And in the middle of it, Mina was detained.

Of course, not only physical restraint, but also the sealing of magic power.

Mina can only stare at us.

Incidentally, a demon named Verg is being interrogated in a separate room.

The members are Tina, Nina, Nokia, and Iris.

Chocolate, milfeuille, succulent, and finia.

Verg has been allocated personnel so that whatever happens can happen.

"Once again, should I say... it's been a long time?"

"... I see. Is it true that we haven't exchanged words since the Royal Capital incident?" No... I haven't talked to you properly since I banished Mr. Rain. "

Surprisingly, Mina responded normally.

I thought you'd settle down, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Are you willing to have a conversation?

Or are you just spilling the grudges?

I still don't know which one it is, but let's move on for now.

"I don't feel like warming up the old relationship, so let me go ahead." Mina said she was thinking of peace between humans and demons... but I'll check again. Is that true? "

Yes.

A short reply.

But it was a quick response that I could not get lost in.

"As surprising as it may seem, the demons are not the only ones who like destruction." You can exchange words. If we can trust each other, we will open the way. ”

I would have denied Mina's words if I had been that stupid.

But not now.

I know that Mina's words are correct because she has crossed to the western continent.

Some demons know that we are not much different from humans.

It's just...

"I understand what Mina wants to say. I'm going to know a little bit about the demons as well."

"Well then..."

Mina's face brightens up as the conversation gets through.

"It's just... Mina and I are a demon called Reese, right?" And Monica will be with you. "

Well, that's right.

Mina was puzzled by the change in my expression.

Hah, and one sigh.

Then shake your head to the side.

"I can't cooperate with Mina."

"What... why!?" Do you want the war to go on like this!? It's the role of our brave men to stop this fight..... "

It's my ex.

"Ugh!"

Mina looked very bitter as she laughed.

I guess you still have a case of the King's City in your roots.

Mina-san

The chiffon comes forward.

"We must put an end to the war between men and demons." Well, I'm thinking the same thing. It's been going on for a long time, and I don't know how long this war will last... We need to end this somewhere. I don't think we have to fight the opponent, but we have to hold the sword in a mutually agreeable way. "

"Then...!"

But Mina-san can't be trusted.

Without any hesitation.

Rather, Chiffon said so as he released pressure.

"I don't know Mina-san. I've done terrible things to Rain-kun, and I've done a lot of other things... I only know that. It's the image of a bad person, isn't it? Do you think you can immediately believe the words of such a person?"

"That's....."

Apparently, Mina is stuck with words.

It seems that I can't say anything back, and I'm depressed.

To Mina like that...... Chiffon reached out his hand.
