There was something uncomfortable.

Strange to ask about our complexion.

I usually eat rice that seems delicious.

He treats me like a cat and doesn't rebound.

I don't like Rifa's words.

My diligent maneuver made it clear that Shif, who is next to me now, is the one who deceived his name.

"In the first place, I wouldn't expect Shifu to do such an easy time...! Thank you...!"

……

"Such contempt looks just like Shifu....!"

The black cat in the egg-shaped cage with the lime deformed slightly pulled and looked at me. [M]

This child is definitely not Shif himself.

In other words...

"You're the sif's brother we were looking for yesterday, right?"

"... yeah"

"You met me the first day, didn't you?"

When asked, the black cat nodded as she nodded.

I'm driven by a fierce guilt based on appearance and manners, but if I'm replaced by a shiff, I have to question it quite seriously.

"Is Shif safe?"

"... I'm not injured. I know where it is."

I see.... good. "

Somehow I know I'm not lying.

So you're trapped somewhere?

I'd like to pick her up early, but next time I have to listen to her.

"... the party's already started. This is part of the journey."

He murmured as he looked at the watch hung on the wall.

Well, I can't help being late.

Sighing small, she turned to the black cat.

"What's your name?"

"... no"

"No?"

I didn't get a name.

"Did Mr. Leon, who created you, not give me a name?"

If Schiff's parent is Leon, so must he.

Even if it was a false memory, Sif had the name “Sif.”

"I'm an experiment for the brave summoning ceremony that was supposed to follow. Each time, he was given a common name," Shif ”, and over and over again... until the monster's pure demon was found, the summons would be repeated."

……

So the name Shif itself was like a symbol in Mr. Leon's plan?

I knew there was something he hadn't told me...

Besides this child's existence and the word "repeated many times”, there may be other children besides this who can also be called Sif's brother.

"Why did you try to replace Shif?"

"... that's..."

Poppy, black cats began to talk about why they tried to replace Shif as they thought.

Like Shif, it was created for pure demons summoned from another world.

However, because of the success of the summons that I was supposed to fail - and because I had enough qualities to suit Mr. Leon's glasses - I could no longer conduct the experiment.

The black cat prepared as a stock of Shifu lost everything in his mission, and after that, he began to resent Shifu who lived as my servant magician...

"Haah... Mr. Leon, it looks like you're still watching us now... but be prepared for the next time I see you."

I'm sure, no, I'm sure I'm watching this room from somewhere, looking down at the black cat while telling her that.

I already know that God beasts are indifferent to things other than their purpose.

Yuran, Lime, you can untie me.

"Eh!?"

"Queue?"

"Oh, don't worry. Maybe I won't try to escape."

Lime and Yuran untie me. [M]

I reached out to the black cat who looked up at me with a dazed look.

I need you to take me to Sif.

"... aren't you angry?"

"That makes me angry. But to Mr. Leon."

I don't know if I can do it, but I feel like saying it once.

I can't honestly forgive someone who clouds a child like this.

"We will meet with Sif and then we will discuss you and your brothers together."

"... mmm... mmm"

A black cat jumps on my arm and climbs on his shoulder. [M]

Confirming that, I leave the room with the wizards while sitting on my waist with the lime water bottle that I always have.

"---"

At that time, something cold like chills bothered me.

Looking up at the sky far from the window, it seemed like a flash of lightning was running for a moment.

"Is someone watching...?"

I felt an intense gaze.

I don't know what it is, but I feel like my mind is about to be sucked into the sky.

Well, what's the matter?

"... no, it's nothing. It's okay."

Return to me with the voice of the black cat.

I'm sure it's your fault.

As I told myself so, I went down the aisle to pick up Sif. [M]

It seems that Kate is late for the party. [M]

I don't know why, but Reefer says, "Something's wrong with Sif."

Sure, I was a little grown up, so I guess I wasn't feeling well either.

Well, it's not a time constraint event, so wait for him at the venue until he arrives.

"Long time no see! Chisato, Reefa!"

"Yeah, Sarah."

As soon as I enter the venue, I can speak to Sarah.

Behind her are her servants, Io.

Looking around, it appears that most of the brave men and servants are gathered here.

"... ah, there's also Hekil."

"Yes, it's the top of the Buddha, but I wonder if it's back on its feet."

"Sarah, where's the food?"

"I had breakfast a while ago...."

I smile bitterly at the referee who is looking for food today.

Hekil by the wall with Mr Hart.

Like him, Figuero is drinking by another wall.

To the little brave Shura-chan in the hood, Jean, her servant.

Rather than a young lady, Frey, a brave man dressed in a masculine outfit, a servant and a thoughtful knight-like man.

I don't know anyone else very well, but I'll confirm the appearance of some familiar heroes.

But I realize that there are unexpected people in there.

"Will's here too...."

"Yes, it's quite unexpected. I didn't think you'd like this kind of event very much."

"Master Sarah, I think that's prejudice....."

The talented man who has been watching our training for the past few days.

Surprised by his appearance behind Hilde, the city's chief executive, he realizes that a brave man is coming after us.

"Ah, Mr. Chisato, Mr. Reefa! You're here!"

Marina, the one who made me look like an anthropomorphist.

I looked back at her with a smile and a wave of hands.

"Thank you for today."

"No, I wanted to have a good time on my last day... hmm?"

Marina tilted her neck looking at me and Rifa.

"... ah, that? What about Kate?"

Ah, speaking of which, there's no Kite.

Speaking of which, Saira looks at the door behind us.

Let me explain why he is late for the time being.

"It looks like you're a little late, Kate. He said he's not feeling well."

…… Really, then... I can't help it. "

?

"No, nothing! Enjoy!"

Can't help it? Well, can't you help it because you're late?

But it seemed a little suspicious in a nuanced way...

If you think so, Io, who was supposed to be behind Sarah, talks to you.

Is Mr Schiff not feeling well?

"Eh, ah, yeah. That's what Rifa said.

Are you sure, Mr. Reefer?

Yeah, I didn't catch anything.

Does that mean you're not feeling well?

But Io has a very mysterious expression.

Incidentally, Sarah sees such a girl and she has a great smile.

It's time for the party!

"Well, Kate, you didn't make it..."

We look at Marina's voice with magic tools similar to Mike's, and we look towards her.

She is in the center of the venue, right next to Hilde and Will.

"--- Thank you so much for being here today!"

The final event that brings together the brave begins.

It's a party without any eccentricity, but I feel a little uncomfortable.

The anxiety element of Leon, which was already unknown, should have disappeared.

There shouldn't be any more coming back.

With Hilde-sama's help, this occasion has come true!

Yeah, I asked Mr. Hilde to do a lot of work for me.

I'm surprised you're kind of cold...

I'm so happy! This is how you all got together... but at the same time, I'm sad! "

"... hmm?"

"It's very, very sad that I have to take your lives from now on."

Whether the word was accepted as a joke or not, Hekil smiled little by the wall.

However, we realize that the words are not lies or jokes to her pure smile.

Deepening her smile to us, she took something out of her pocket, turned it around and threw it at Will.

"Is that...!?"

It resembles the magic tool that Deus, who manipulated the Giant Beast...!?

Will, who came out earlier to protect Hilde, who was nearby, faster than we could move, tried to deal with the magic tools that were being activated in his spare time - something like a tree jumped out of the floor and stuck around his body.

"--- That bastard, is that it...!"

"!? Dear Will!"

"Don't come...!"

A tree wrapped around his body activates the magic tool he threw at him when he was slow.

The magic tool that was activated enveloped Will's surroundings while emitting a black aura and trapped him.

………

His incredible strength has sealed his movements.

It's an incredible sight from us who know Will's power well, but the person who threw the magic tool is equally stunned.

"Wow, awesome. That's the Demon King. No, I'm too much more than that. I knew I could do anything if I wanted to die..."

"--h!"

"Wow!? Watch out!"

Rifa, who returned to me faster than anyone else, attacked the marina with a shadow, but it was prevented by her spitting mud out of her palm.

Moving to the top of the stage with movements she had never seen in the past few days, she lifted her cheeks and smiled fiercely.

"Demon King"? You're not a brave man...! "

"Marina is my name as a brave man, but I have another name."

The building shakes heavily according to her words.

Groundhowling...? No, this swing... from the sky?

At that moment, the ceiling of the venue where we were was bursting with a roar.

"---"

Throw out magic water to protect everyone from falling debris.

Avoid them sideways, then look up at the sky - lose your words.

Hmm?

From the cloudy sky emerged a giant ship flying in the sky.

Hulls like pirates can see things like barrels of guns, and countless Griffin-shaped monsters are emerging from ships.

Looking up at the sky, Marina laughs with joy to us who are stunned.

"Fufufu, my other name is Carina. I am the leader of the Demon King army ♪"

Monsters entering through the roof of the venue and soldiers of the Demon King army.

And with that, Marina - no, a few shadows stand next to Carina, the leader of the Demon King army.

The time that was supposed to have been peaceful turned into a Shura Hall in an instant.

Demon King Army raid.

Accurately aware of that fact, we took each weapon and moved on to a state of alert.
