The Contractor of the New Sister Devil

"Thanks to this, she didn't notice me at all, which made my actions quite easy. Fortunately, we have already investigated where you kept Maria and her family."

"You, what did you say...?"

"Do you need to be so surprised? You are a well-known high-level demons in the demon world, and you are still the subject of suspension inspection; you will not risk hiding extra things in the situation without knowing when you will be targeted The Devil, after all, the conservative people have been looking for her family. However, you will not hide people in your base because of this; if Maria finds out, there is no need to threaten her."

however--

"In order to send a magic wave to emergency start the remote control device in case of an accident, people must not be too far away from you. The farther you go, the more worrying you will be. So based on this, I made a small look around your base. Just one click, and the result was a big prize. In fact, I found out that place a long time ago, so I had easily rescued the hostage before you flicked your finger."

"?...What do you mean...No, what do you want to do...?"

Zokir originally suspected that the man in front of him was probably a spy of the conservative faction.

Judging from his presence here, this assumption should be correct.

But—since he discovered the location of the hostage’s imprisonment a long time ago, why did he hide it from Maria or the stable demon on the same line as him?This should not be good for the steady faction or the current demon king faction, right?To Zokir, who was deeply puzzled by his ignorance, Ras said:

"Well... If I had followed my original plan, things should have been more cautious. Who taught me to have a friend who called me out and confirmed the friendship in a rude way? We were halfway through the fight. A deal was proposed."

"You said... the deal...?"

"Yeah, he wants to know where Narase Mio was taken, and he wants me to rescue Maria’s family who was taken away by you; and the price—as long as I feel it’s worth my help for him, what do I want? Anyway, and he will do it no matter what."

then--

"I agreed to his terms, so I will come here now, my lord."

After speaking, Russ looked down at Zokir with joy.

"You, what did you say...?"

When Zokir couldn't believe the fact that Russ and Blade had traded for a while--

"——His Majesty Wilbert, the former demon king, chose to raise his daughter in the human world. They were two particularly kind-hearted people in his center."

Lars narrowed his eyes and said:

"I'm afraid, you don't even know the name of the person you killed? Although their rank is not high at all, they are people admired by many compatriots."

and--

"Among those people-like them, who are lonely war orphans, who grew up in an orphanage with them and admired as brothers and sisters, their status is even higher. And I am one of them. "

"!-you fellow, should, should not -"

Zokir was shocked and speechless.Because he found that the man standing in front of him had a darker emotion than hatred.

So-what kind of return does Ras like this demand from Dongcheng Blade?

——When the blade was fighting with Zokir, there was a delay or some kind of inducement.At that time, Zokir regarded it as a blade just to consume his combat power, so that Maria can easily win.

But Maria said that Blade didn't want her to shoot.

In this way-who is waiting for the blade more?If Maria's accidental episode hadn't happened, who would be standing behind Zokir?Thinking of this, Zokir was shocked in addition to shock.At this moment, Russ finally spoke out his secret purpose.

He carried the moonlight on his back and said with a cold smile on his face:

"Yes, Zokir. My condition is - I will kill you myself."

Chapter 17: The Consciousness of People Who Dare to Speak "Absolutely"

It was late at night when Ren Geng and others returned to Dongcheng's home.

When everyone completed the necessary actions such as healing, bathing, changing clothes, etc., someone chose to rest as soon as they entered the door.That is the dream witch mother and daughter-Valiya and her mother who have been intimidated by Zokir for a long time and held hostage.

And now, Dongcheng Blade corrected his eyes on their sleeping faces.

"……………………"

Moonlight peeked through the window and covered a faintly blue Marria room. The mother and daughter slept next to each other on the bed.Maybe it was because they finally met again and the mother and daughter were safe and sound, making the tension relaxed and eager to rest with peace of mind. The breath of the two was so steady.

...They must haven't been sleeping like this in a long time.

Although such a situation is sad, but the two sleeping faces within reach make the blade feel that he is indeed helpful.At this moment, under the gaze of Blade, Maria, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, got closer to the mother beside her——

"......The blade is more...Brother..."

Then softly call him in the dream.This made the blade even more affectionate to Wan Liya——

"...Well, I am here. Not just me, everyone else is by your side."

And after saying that, caressed her cheek gently, gently wiped away the tears remaining on the corners of her eyes, as if telling her never to cry again.

——On the way back to Dongcheng’s home, Rengeng and others chatted with her mother about future arrangements.Tomorrow, Rengen will ask Wanliya to contact the stable demons and ask them to send someone to respond.Although Takikawa said that the leader of the moderate faction deliberately alienated Mio and did not listen to dissuasion, since they still searched for Maria's mother, once they know that she has been rescued safely, someone should come over.

As for Jeste, the blade is even going to be handled by the steady faction.Now, with Yuxi's insistence, she will be guarded in the living room. There shouldn't be any problems.

Jeste had no intention of resisting, and said that he would completely obey the orders of the blade.

Blade even personally hopes that after leaving Zokir’s control and being free from the bondage of death, Jeste will be able to live her life freely without being restricted to either side of the current Demon King faction or the steady faction; but she has just lost absolute obedience The master of her, the purpose of life is still vague, and she can't just leave her alone.

Therefore, although it was not to protect her as a witness, Edmon still thought it would be better to hand her over to the conservative.

It's just that it was her former hostile force, and it is hard to guarantee that she has no security concerns.In this regard, we have to borrow Takikawa's power to make some arrangements.

In addition-Regarding Valeria being threatened by Zokir and obeying him, Rengen has not yet decided whether to tell them.It is hard to judge whether it is better to conceal the facts or to make it clear.

——But one thing, Rengeng, Min and Youxi have reached consensus and reached a conclusion.

That is to protect the family of Wan Liya anyway.

Valeria would betray the Rengeng and others and the steady faction because of the helpless suffering of her mother being taken as a hostage, and no one is allowed to punish her for it.

Just like before, Xun gave up his brave status in order to protect his son, Bladegen.

It's like the blade vowed to protect Mio, who was threatened with life for unreasonable reasons.

Just like Yuxi gave up the task in order to protect the blade.

It's the same this time, everyone will join hands to protect Valeria.No matter how lofty the purpose or mission is, if it can only be achieved by sacrificing precious people and people in physical and mental suffering, the blade cannot accept it.

I hope to protect Valeria not because of her mission-but because she is an important part of everyone's hearts.

"...We will definitely protect you."

Blade Geng whispered so in a swearing tone, and then left Wan Liya's room.
