Reincarnation Monarch

"I had no idea that the disappearance of that Bath village would be involved anymore..."

Gaius summed up his thoughts and told him to whine quietly.

"That's... that true circle lake is an unforgettable memory..."

"You ever been to Bath Village? True Circle Lake is..."

"Oh, the waters of the river flowing through the village were pouring in where the earth was nicely choosen in a perfectly true circle... but it was like a true circle lake."

"Really... is that... due to magical powers?

"Probably. At least it didn't look like normal civil engineering could do it."

"... which is awesome, a thousand years dragon?

"I've never seen a dragon in a thousand years. So there's no specification for comparison."

"But the traces of Bath Village were amazing, you know?

"Oh, not very much, but I couldn't do it at all."

"... that means Master Signus can't even do it, right?

"Naturally. Besides... maybe even that Menontius..."

"... that demon named Menontius, who often appears in your story, is stronger than you?

Gaius then hoisted one eyebrow and answered Carmis with one snort, even though he looked somewhat grumpy.

"... sort of. Unfortunately, I have to admit, you're stronger than me. Whatever... I lost..."

"Right. After all, the devil is terribly strong... I didn't know Master Signus could even stand a tooth for you with fear..."

Then suddenly, a few pickins and blue muscles ran on Gaius's temples.

"Hey, wait a minute! Who told you I couldn't stand my teeth? We did lose, but the battle was almost mutual! Don't be rude!

Carmis is very grumpy on Gaius' sword screen.

But Gaius did not mind it, and solicited his own words.

"With any luck, I might have won. Fighting in the first place is something that only a small amount of bad luck can greatly dictate wins and losses. For the most part, I have the strength to kick your ass lightly if you're the devil there. It's just him... it's just him... no, I couldn't beat Delkia or anything..."

Then Calmis reacted violently.

"Even Delkia!?"

"Yeah? You know Delkia?

"Then I am the end of the wizard. Of course I do. You're one of those legendary high-ranking demons, aren't you?

"Oh well. You did."

"You, have you ever fought Delkia?

"... oh well. When I went to hell for a bit."

Then Calmis was surprised that her eyes just didn't pop out.

"Gone to hell!? Are you talking sane?

"It's a true story. I've been going to hell the whole time."

"... Is Hell such an easy place to go?... or can't you ever come back once you've gone?

"Uh-huh, well, I don't think normal people can go, do they? Besides, hell doesn't seem like a place to go after you die, so if you can go, you can come back."

In Gaius' words, Carmis had a slightly open mouth and a slight look on his face.
