Reincarnation Monarch

"... oh, it's true. You're here."

Gaius, going endlessly long hallways, suddenly stopped and raised his voice.

Then the shaped dove chasing after him also stopped and said, as did Gaius.

"... apparently so. Though it's a lot easier, don't know when you get close."

Gaius nodded and said as he walked out again.

"Right. Not yet, either, Satan. We need to calm down a little bit."

Dove laughed.

"... any more serenity?

"Naturally. Even if we get close, we have to get to a point where we don't know where we are. Doesn't that give you a willow-like suppleness that can't be pushed or pulled, like these immortals? Yeah, like me."

Then again Dove laughed delightfully.

"... I've never felt as supple as a willow on you."

"Really? I guess he's the one who disagrees."

"... so let's just do that"

Then Debul, who was silently listening to the two exchanges, said, pointing far ahead.

"Beyond that door. There's Satan."

Gaius said without even turning around.

"Oh, I know. No doubt Satan is beyond that door... but it's still a long way off. One scale at a time is silly, so I do see the door, but isn't it possible that 1K is still ahead?

Debul nodded.

"Oh, there is."

Gaius looked fed up.

"Yeah, well, why don't you fly? Fly and you'll be there in a flash."

Debul immediately dismissed the proposal.

"In principle, the use of magic is forbidden in Satan's castle. Most importantly, I'm not setting a separate penalty. But that's why such behavior is definitely against courtesy as a guest. So if you're an ungrateful fool, just fly. I'm not stopping you."

Gaius groaned at Debul's way of saying it like he was going to throw it away.

"... Gu..."

Then Dove was amused.

"... there's a saying that there's no gu noise either, but brilliantly now, you said it? I've never heard that before."

Then Gaius rebelled as he cramped his cheeks.

"Shut up! I'm gonna make about a grunt noise!
