That day, he asked for a crusade for Minotaur, which appeared on a plain near the city.

We decided to do a crusade with the three of us, Canade and Tania, because we also have business at home.

Minotaur is such a monster, like a bull walking on two legs and carrying a weapon.

It is categorized as B-rank and is known as a pretty strong enemy.

It's just...

"Canade, he's gone that way!

"Leave it to me!

Minotaur waves down a giant axe, but never hits a canade.

The figure of Canade became a remnant, and the axe passed where there was nothing.

"Ugh."

Canade circled behind Minotaur, as he did an instant move.

Strike a strong blow in the back of your knee.

Is it because you're walking on two legs, or the Minotaur steeple is the same as people.

Minotaur screamed and knelt.

"Now..."

"It's over!

Tania kicks the ground and jumps up.

I crushed Minotaur's jaw with my knee as it was.

Plus, spinning around in the universe.

He snaps his tail off and punches Minotaur in the face painfully.

The cockroach and neck bones sound broken, and Minotaur sinks to the ground.

So much so that its body disappears and turns into a demonic stone.

"Huh. If it were me, it would be like this."

"Ah!? Though I was going to stab Todome!?

"Early winner."

B-rank minotaurs were also like babies when it came to Canade and Tania.

I think I used to struggle harder...

Because I had a lot of experience, guys, and I was growing up pretty good.

I don't think I can lose either.

It's just...

"Hey, Rayne. Tell Tania something. You're going to take my hand."

"Rayne would understand, wouldn't he? It's not my fault, it's that trout cat."

"Trolley cat!?

Though the two of you talk to me, I've been thinking about something else right now.

"Rain?"

"... Huh?

"What's the matter, I'm confused... thoughts?

"Oh, no... the crusade is over with no problems, so maybe I'm a little out of my mind. Sorry."

"You've got to hang on, haven't you? Don't be alarmed, that's not what Rain said before."

"Right, bad"

While I apologize, I still think about something else.

... The other day, in the Spirit Clan, Al told me that there were actually three, not two.

Because the third story was uncertain... and because it wasn't a question of how to do this right now, I was putting it behind me for a moment.

The third content is…

"... Illis..."

Once upon a time, the most hostile species.

Though I thought I had finally figured it out after delivering the word so many times...

So the end came.

That's what I was thinking...

Actually, it may not be, the possibility has emerged.

One thing about Mr. Al, I was wondering.

How did you know that Al and the others were about to be executed?

Mr. Mirja is drowning Tania, but he's not watching for 24 hours.

If we spread the word, in time, Al and the others will know...

It moved fast for that.

When asked about it, Mr. Al said:

"A heavenly girl came into contact with the inner one and brought information from it"...

The Heavenly Nation is extinct and there should be no survival.

Was there a surviving Heavenly Clan just because I didn't know?

Or... was Illis alive?

If I can, I want to see Iris again.

And...

"... now it's like we're laughing together, I want to be in that relationship"

――――――――――

"... we're back now"

"Welcome back"

Returning to the mansion, Iris moved straight to the living room.

Then tea and sweets were available, as if Illis had expected to return.

"You were watching over me?

"No. I just thought it might be time to come back... The tea cooled down because it was slower than expected."

"I don't mind this. I'm tired, so now I feel like drinking cold tea."

Illis sees the universe at his fingertips.

Then a little ice was summoned and pounded in the teacup.

Stir in a teaspoon and turn into an iced tea.

"Phew, I'll calm down."

"It was just a pleasure...... are you that tired?

"You know... isn't it mentally exhausting to go where the person who once sealed me is, even though it just conveys the message? The contents of that legend are just messing with the other person. What's the point of doing something like that?

"Of course it is. Hopefully, the all-out war between the most powerful species and humans...... don't you think it's quite fun?

"Looks like that prospect's off the hook."

"Oh? Really?

"I was curious and watching a little bit... but Laine went in between and put it away."

"Really? Too bad."

Unfortunately, I don't see how I've fallen for the lease.

It's as if you knew you'd fail.

Iris asks in surprise.

"Were you expecting this too?

"To some extent."

Reese answered with a cool face.

"I'm not convinced. If you expected it, why didn't you hit your hand?

"I'm not expecting much, and I don't mind if I fail."

"... what do you want?

"Of course, it's about destroying humans. It is our mission to fulfill the wishes of the Demon King."

"Instead, I feel sweet to do..."

"You can't be serious yet. As I've said before, if you do too much while the Demon King is dormant, you'll be pissed off by the boulders. Implement measures that are not highly successful... and if it works, well, that's fine. Even if you can't, you can mess with them. And now we're sowing seeds all over the place."

"... how dare you do that"

Reese says it feels like playing a game.

To that attitude, Iris felt something at stake.

Reese looked like he was enjoying a risky game.

To parable, it's like wearing a blindfold and not putting on a lifeline, and enjoying a crossing on a cliff...

Taste the danger and thrill and soak in the trance.

There is no other way to get there than... ruin.

It's out of the question to hang out with a lease like that.

Once Illis was trapped in ruinous thought...

I met Rain, and I started to look forward.

How do you live? I still can't decide that...

At least I'm not going to make my life crude.

What should we do?

Illis gets lost.

I guess it's right to leave the original lease now, even if it's not addressed to you to go.

I don't care what you owe me for getting help.

Originally, it was an enemy.

Nevertheless...... and rethink.

Because of this, Reese is inviting me to nostalgia.

What if you get everything you get anyway?

For example, future movements of the lease and trends across the Demon Nation.

Collect that information...... and maybe you can give it to Rayne.

As for Illis, I'd like to see Rayne again.

I just don't know what face to look like.

I think so now.

Then why don't we turn the Devil's information into a souvenir?

And I think so.

"What's wrong?

"... no, it's nothing"

I stopped avenging humans.

I'm just not going to take human sides like I used to.

But...... I felt like I could be on my personal side with Rain.

It is not yet settled, but Illis has laid down his path only a little.

"So... is this the end of my job?

"Oh. Are you ready to be one of us?

"No, that's still nothing. I just thought we could work together a little bit more to figure out what to do."

"That's something to welcome. I won't be relying on Mr. Iris' help for a while...... then please. Because I'm me and I'm busy with something else."

"Any new mastery?

"Yeah, I thought I'd have the brave man completely corrupted and on our side of the Demon Clan."
