Reincarnation Monarch

"... yeah? ……

Dove, who proceeded quietly and slowly in his footsteps through the vast stretching hallway within the vast mansion inhabited by Delchia, the highest demon to unite the first tier of hell, was distracted by something and stopped and looked back.

But there was no one behind it in particular, and Dove just had a strange look on his face.

"... are you out of your mind..."

Groaning so, Dove turned forward again and walked out quietly.

But after a while, Dove stopped again.

"... what? ……

Dove looked back again, but there was still no one there.

"... No, there's something... there's got to be..."

Dove glanced at the void.

But there was still nothing there.

"... who is it? Show yourself..."

Dove glanced further at the void and said away with awesomeness.

Then a slight but vocal thing popped into Dove's ear.

"... who? Sounds good..."

Dove focused his consciousness and listened to a slight voice.

Then it finally came into Dove's ear as a solid one.

(... dove... dove...)

"... who? Who the hell is calling my name? ……

(... can you hear me?... Dove... it's me... it's Gaius...)

Then suddenly a grin appeared on Dove's rugged face.

"Gaius! Gaius Schneider is the one talking to me!?

(... right... right... Dove, looks like you finally heard me, huh? ……

"Mm-hmm. That sounded clear. Sure, this sounds like Gaius Schneider's voice."

(... oh yeah. It's not fake. The real Gaius Schneider…)

"Right. Long time no see. But what the hell is going on with this approach?

Dove bumped his doubts into Gaius.

(... Oh, I'm actually at the gateway to hell right now, but I can't move on from there. So I'm using a little special method to talk to Dove...)

Then Dove laughed out loud.

"I see, well. You did come to hell last time with Master Karin's guidance, didn't you? Then no wonder you're stuck at the gateway to hell, even if you're here now. All right, all right. Let's go over there now."

(... I appreciate that. Please, Dove...)

Yeah, but I don't know where you are.

(... that's okay. I know where the dove is from here, so just open the entrance and we'll be on our way to rendezvous here...)

"Right. Then come. Wait for me."

When Dove said so, he smiled and now began walking again in the long hallway with quick feet.
