"So, what do you want to hear? Please be really quick, seriously."
"I know. I have to hurry."
There's no doubt that Linde knows something.
How far do you know...?
"Does Linde know what that pattern is?
"That look... I don't know the details. But I've seen it before if it's similar."
Have you seen Lindé-san...?
"Where are you?
"... the pattern of work, I'm going around the country."
"Shaw?
"Exactly!! An incredible show to thank you for being so popular!... but that was definitely when I was riding in a carriage in the mountains near Lindgard."
"Lindgal... the city closest to fighting demons..."
Linde nods.
"I miss the time, but it's raining hard. The mountain crossing was harsh and we were evacuating to a nearby cave. Apparently it was an ancient ruin. It was like an altar in the back."
"Altar?"
"Ah, it was a nasty, dark, creepy place, and I still feel chilly when I remember now!
That's how Linde trembles when he squeezes his arms.
"--So, I saw that pattern there."
"Eh...?
"Big in the front. Pentagon's eyes... they're creepy, so I went back to the entrance as soon as I could, but I can't forget the pattern."
"Near where the fight with the demon took place....."
"That certainly looked like a demon-related thing. Anyway, there's an old book I picked up at that time, but it's full of stories about demons! I tried to sell it for money, but the sorcerer surprised me. And take the Zodiacs with you!! I thought it was over."
And Linde approaches me and whispers softly.
"So, that pattern is definitely related to demons. I didn't expect to see it again here. Historically, it must be a symbol or something that indicates a demon. I think there's a book of demons sleeping somewhere."
Associated with demons...
--At that time, my memory of a thousand years ago when I was asleep comes back to life.
That's right... that's right!! I remember!!
"Those patterns... are symbols of non-magicians who believe in magic..."
"What?"
"Why did you forget? I... Yes, that's a proof of the devil's faith...!
"Demonic Faith!? Isn't that just a symbol of the devil?
I nod.
"Perhaps it wasn't the Abyss who caused this disturbance...?
I thought Abyss was involved, but this may not be the case.
When I ran into him in Calisto.
He said he would revive the demonic faith.
This means that this is a solo operation by non-magicians who have begun to believe in new demons....
I can't tell you that Abyss isn't involved yet, but that's too little damage.
If it's a late diversion operation that can't compete with the sorcerer, it's convincing.
--That means that the purpose of the person who is leading this disturbance is...
The forbidden book of this school has already fallen into Abyss' hands.
If so, what's the aim...?
And thinking about it, Mr. Linde accidentally grabbed me on both shoulders.
"Are you sure it's a demonic faith!? Are you sure!?
"Really, that's how you interpreted it...! Maybe so, almost certainly so!
Then, Linde took a few steps back with her pale face and covered her face.
"Ahh... damn, what are you talking about...!
"Well, what's the matter, Lindé-san...? Is there anything wrong with it being true?
"Oh yeah... I thought I was just a little milder, but if it's a demonic faith, it's a different story!! That's right, I know what's going on in Calisto. Was it Abyss? It's like the underworld of that gang of criminals!
Lower tissue... well, that depends on how you look at it.
I don't know why they believe in demons these days, but it should indirectly contain Abyss' ideas.
I can't imagine a non-magician returning to the era of magician glory. There must be something.
"What's wrong with that?
"I don't think so!! The reason I'm here is clear!! You followed that idiot!
"That idiot?
"I saw... the pattern on his neck..."
That said, Mr. Linde slaps the back of his neck.
"Hey, I can't see what you're talking about... what do you mean?
"Ready? I came all this way looking for that idiot... Austin! He was wearing the same patterns as the ones that are making trouble right now!! I saw a flash in the waiting room! Now I was looking around for a magical name to play my own selfie! That's why I thought you were part of it, so I became aggressive...."
Selfie... I don't know what it is, but Austin Mayan has a record of it.
"You think Austin Mayan had a pattern on her neck?
"Ah, that's right!! Damn it... if I was going to make some kind of cute hero poem in connection with demons in my usual selfie... by the way, a demonic faith!? Hey, what's going on!? You're not making your own movie!?
Linde sweats her forehead in confusion, wandering around.
So if what Linde is saying is right, I don't think he's leading this disturbance...
"Austin Mayan is the leader...!?
"That's a huge possibility!! Ah, shit, I didn't think it had anything to do with the Devil Faith!! But he can't!!
At that time, I remember Austin arguing with the headmaster and entering the school.
"The headmaster may not like it....!
"My grandfather....!? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
