I decided to finish dinner briefly at the diner in Lower Town. During meals, Stella only responds that whatever she eats is delicious.

I'm not expecting a gourmet report, but I finished it with pepper without leaving any bitter vegetables that I usually don't like.

By the time I left the store, the moon in the night sky was also rising high.

Nevertheless, from the influence of King Diction, which began today, or as if the streets were busy as night festivals.

"Using metamagic here sounds prominent. Come here."

As soon as she pulls the Demon King's hand in an unpopular alley, she makes her whole body bicker.

"Him, what are you going to do by bringing him in without people?

"So you said metastatic magic. If it's too late, Mr. Bereal may storm the king's capital worried about his absence."

"Well, then you'll be fine. Belial, harpy and rimrimrim have made you breathe plenty of sweet, so wouldn't it be neat until morning? Oh, don't worry, I've put you in a long chair and hung a blanket."

"If you were going to reassure me, you should have weighed yourself in coming to Wang Du with patience in the first place."

The girl's cheeks swell.

"'Cause I'm worried about Nina, so I can't help it."

It's true that her eyes are as good as her mouth, and Stella's eyes said something to me.

"Okay. There are plenty of people here… should we go somewhere we can talk calmly?"

"Wow, there's no trap or anything, is there?

"Will you be more worried now that you have boarded the King's Capital? Rest assured. I won't take it and eat it."

"Sa, just now... they ate me."

The girl's cheeks blushed as she swelled.

"Thank you very much."

"Hey, hey, already! What are you talking about with your face in your face, Seychelles?"

I felt relieved for some reason by the demon king who gooed his hands and slapped Poco and my chest.

It is the end of the world for me, and for a priest to ease into the demon king.

Transfer from the alley. Magic. It could have been a straight line to the church in front of the demon court, but I decided to hang out with Stella for a while.

Exit through the boulevard onto the waterway using the tributaries of the Rhone River.

Renting a gondola, he hung a lit lantern at the end of the reversed hull to explore the waterways at night.

Stand at the stern with the oar in your hand and slowly scrub it out. Quiet boat out.

The waterway flow was calm and the city lights seemed to reflect sparklingly across the sea of stars.

Stella, who has been in sight for a while, turns to me and asks me.

"Hey, Seiklid. Is this a deadbeat... date...? Then it's usually in the opposite order, you see, Kiki, Kiki Kikis is the last thing you do, right?

Who the hell taught you that? Belial...... is hard to think of. Knowledge gained from books or something in Demon King's Castle, or Harpy, another resident?

Or maybe from a former family member who wasn't at Demon King's Castle anymore.

"Who taught such things to the Demon King?

"Oh, my mother! Oh, uh, Nina's mother, Theta, not your mother, Maria's mother told me."

To be the true wife of Lucifer, the previous demon king, Stella's mother? After Theta died, Maria disappeared, followed it out of Lucifer Demon Castle, and we were both talking about never going back...

Midway down the river, Stella stood up and Gondola swayed.

"Come on, you can kiss me if you want..."

There are no other ships around. Watching me and Stella is like a heavenly moon.

"Yeah. You can do anything, whether it's a kiss or a secret story."

Stella rounded her eyes haha.

"I was. I was about to get swallowed up by the vibe... hey Seiklid. I want to see Nina. I'm here to see you. With the power of the Great Cleric, with the backing, with the intimidation, can't you manage to incense?

"The Demon King misunderstands the Great Cleric. If that's the case... why don't you offer the Demon King to His Holiness the Pope immediately?

The girl shook her head left and right with a boom.

"I can't, I can't, I can't, I'll never! Because you know who I am, don't you, John?

"The decision to assign me to the Last Church in front of the Demon King's Castle rests with His Holiness."

Stop moving the oar and I gently put my hand on my chest.

"So if the demon king finds out he's in the king's capital, isn't it tough anymore?

"Perhaps the Holy See has already sensed Mr. Stella's intrusion itself. As long as I'm around, don't worry."

In view of the Pope's strength, there is no doubt that he has been captured.

Then he said, "If you stand, the ship will lose balance," and I asked Stella to sit down again.

When I put the oar on the table too, I sit down to face each other.

Gondola gave herself up to the waterway flow. Stella squeaks pompously.

"Oh well. I'm finding out..."

"It has not yet been noticed by other humans. Let's just say we go back before that happens."

A big sigh leaked out of Stella's mouth.

"I'd love to see Nina."

"I'm sure Nina thinks the same thing. But Nina is trying to be your sister. Aside from King Dition, let's support Nina as she leaves Stella to grow into a lady in front of her."

Turn down like Stella was increasingly discouraged.

"As Nina grows up... I wonder if she's going to leave Demon King's Castle one day"

It is Nina herself who decides that.

"Isn't it still a long way off"

"You mean ahead, you're leaving after all?

Shit. Was that a silence? Now that Nina turns out to be human, there's no reason to stay at Demon King Castle. If Nina wishes, Pope John will be responsible for putting in place a system of acceptance in the Pontifical Agency.

Stars flow through the chirali and night sky.

There was also a glimmer of tears on the girl's cheek, pulling her tail.

"You know, Seiklid... I... I don't have to be unacceptable to anyone in the world myself. A demon king. One day I'll be responsible for confronting the brave. Something I'm not going to get away from. But... Nina is different. Don't get involved."

Even if Nina doesn't try to be king, the day will come when a young girl like that angel will take the truth.

Thinking about that time, the Demon King thought of his precious sister, not himself.

I wait for words in silence.

"As long as Nina is happy, that's fine with me. So...... please seiklid. Protecting Claudia may be your mission now, but protect Nina."

It's like Nina's gone out of her reach already.

"We will definitely protect you. Nina and...... Stella. Both of you, leave it to this high priest. Dedicated defense… I mean, I know how to defend it."

"Ugh... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Gondola wobbled a lot, and the girl cried like a child for a while as she jumped into my chest.

Tomorrow is the test of courage. I promised to keep it, but to be honest, Nina had nothing better to do with Claudia than watch over her next trial, of course.

You test your courage, so I guess no one else can help you.

If so, after receiving tomorrow's results, the last remaining "Wu” trial is the division of the battle.

Now there was nothing more than a commitment to letting Claudia win and safely free Nina from the three trials.
