"... you're a foolish brave man"

While Arios and Reese secretly talk...

There was a sneak peek at the situation.

It's Illis.

I used magic and was sneaking a peek at what was going on indoors.

By the way, it's not summoning magic. It's normal magic.

It's the most powerful species, so that much magic can be used.

"Don't you think that at all... that you are being deceived? No, you must be just thinking about it. Even if you were being deceived, you just need to use your opponent... Is this what that brave man thinks?

Even so, I think Illis is stupid.

Even if you use them...

On the contrary, do you not consider the possibility that you will be used?

Don't you think about the possibility that they're better at it?

"Well, you haven't thought about it. If you're thinking about it, there's no way you can get on with the lease proposal."

Illis spilled a frightened sigh, for Christ's sake.

Reese is aiming to coexist with humans, what a bright red lie.

There's no way there's such a demon clan.

Only, convenience to have Arios on your side.

I didn't know you couldn't even spot such an easy lie...

That brave man, maybe not longer than I thought.

Iris thought that.

"You don't care about such a brave man. The problem is... about me. It's time for me to decide where I'm going."

I have no feelings about killing all humans.

The feeling that humans hate them has not disappeared...

But some of them are like Rain.

Some people are warm.

Now that I know about it, I didn't intend to live with revenge alone, as I have before.

Therefore, you will not be on Reese's side.

I'm with you right now, in return for Rain, to get some information about Reese.

There is no other reason.

"Well, yeah, that doesn't work, though."

Reese doesn't fully trust him about Iris.

Sometimes the answer to whether or not to be one of us is because Illis is on hold......

More than that, because Iris' attitude is changing.

Previously, I don't remember hesitating to kill humans.

Instead, I've been happy to put it on my hands.

But not now, Illis.

I didn't do anything to kill humans.

On the contrary, I avoid even getting involved.

With that attitude, I can't help but get credit from the lease...

There's nothing I can do, though.

The vengeance that was in Illis had vanished beautifully in the battle against Rayne.

I'm not willing to kill humans indiscriminately anymore, as I was before.

I met Rayne, and Iris changed.

No.

Made me change, should I say?

It changes the heart of the most powerful species.

That's all Rain has.

That's what Iris had in mind.

"That's troubling, though"

I never take Reese's side, but there's no way I can say that I want Rayne to be one of them.

Of course, I really want to act with Rayne.

That sounds like a lot of fun.

But keep all that and what face should I say?

And...

"I... am not like you, Rain."

I've already killed many people.

Unlike Rain, these hands are stained with blood.

I never really cared about that before...

Now I was terribly concerned.

Compared to Rayne, he seemed like he couldn't help himself.

"Phew... you won't stay. Nevertheless, you should think that there is no respite anymore."

I leaned over to Reese and it's been quite a while.

As for Reese, it would be time to hear from Iris.

I wouldn't say anything to hurry it up, but still, there's no mistake in waiting.

And you'll be feeling some sense of what Illis really means.

If we don't stand by ourselves, what action do we take?

Think normally, they'll end up like that.

"I'm not willing to lose...... no. That human being feels like trouble."

Iris, more than Reese, was putting Monica at risk.

In terms of simple combat power, the lease would be more overwhelming.

Little is it that every human being has more fighting power than the Demon Nation.

I just felt something creepy about Monica.

If you don't want to turn to your enemies, you instinctively think...

Such a sense of crisis.

"Hello"

Thinking of it as this, Reese came.

Apparently the talks with Arios are over.

Seeing you smile satisfactorily, you seem to have succeeded in keeping Arios company.

"Hello. What did the brave man look like?

"Yes. He promised to be one of us."

"What about the promise?

"It didn't look like that... well, either way, because Mr. Arios can't turn back anymore. There's no other way than to be with us."

"... Really?"

"So... it's time to hear back from Mr. Iris?

Coming.

Iris looked bitter inside.

Of course, that's not on the table.

"Right. I'm sorry to bother you, but I think it's time to give you an answer."

"Can I hope?

"Yes, of course."

"I'm relieved. I just... Before I do, I'd like to ask for a job."

"Work, is it?

"Yeah, it's work"

Reese giggles.

Illis had a bad feeling.

"Looks like a new brave man has emerged recently"

"The new brave......? Not Mr. Arios?

"No, you're another person. From what I hear, you're a brave woman."

Did a generation shift take place? and Iris thought.

The replacement of the brave will not take place unless there is so much...

Well, that's all I did, so naturally, Iris convinced me.

"So what's wrong with that new brave man?

"Please kill me"

"... Yes?

To an overly straightforward demand, Illis accidentally spilled a loose voice between them.

But the look on Reese's face remains the same.

Keep grinning and repeat the same line.

"Kill a new brave man."

"... why is that?

"Isn't it decided? It's a disturbing thing for us demons."

"It's..."

"Of course, there will be other brave candidates. I just killed him and there will be another new brave man out there. But the next thing you know, it was turned around, which means the quality should be inferior. And it should take some time. Kill me here, it won't hurt."

It's a convincing story.

While Illis thought so, he had a bitter feeling.

It's been tried.

I guess Reese finally boiled down his business to himself, who doesn't quite try to be aggressive.

If you kill a new brave man, that's it.

If not, I can see it there.

With that in mind, Illis gets lost in the answer.

"I..."

Iris opened his mouth softly after getting lost for a while.
