Although there was no other being that would appear in this situation, it was still no small shock to Milene that the name was muttered.
　As I said, the existence of a demon is still special to Milane in a sense.

　Of course, not in a good way.
　We were safely reunited with Chloe and the rest of the people back home are apparently safe as well, but that doesn't change the fact that the demon attacked our hometown and that I was enslaved by it for a while.
　Although a good amount of time has passed since then, I'm still not completely over it.

　But I was still able to recover quickly because there was someone here who would be more shocked than I was.
　You're going to be able to get a lot more than just a few minutes of your time.

...... recognize the face?
...... um . Here's one of the devils.

　Although there was a response to Milene's voice, the movement was somewhat slow.

　But while Chloe was on her mind, Milene stared at the demon man's figure as he stared at her.
　Although I thought so, the actual affirmation makes a difference.

　Having been a slave to the devil, Milene knows better, but the devil is basically an individualist.
　Or perhaps I should say selfish, because their actions are based on what is in their best interest.
　He may collaborate with other demons, but in the end it is for his own benefit only, not for anyone else's. He may collaborate with other demons, but in the end it is for his own benefit only.

　Perhaps because of this, demons are extremely loath to lend, let alone give their things to others.
　In short, the fact that the captured Amazons were working here means that the demons who were here are likely to be the ones who captured them ...... and attacked their hometown.

　You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.

　But that didn't cause him to act immediately because he knew that everyone was safe.
　That doesn't take away your resentment, and although you don't know if you are still safe, you can't get ahead of yourself here because of .......

　The clue about your whereabouts has come from over there.
　I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by.

　As I was thinking about how to get the information, the devil's face turned to me.
　Rather than looking at Milene, it's Chloe who's looking at her.

　I'm going to have to squint to confirm that face.

"Hmm ...... not only do you declare me a demon, but you also say that I was here. It's not just that there was one Amazoness missing, but ...... that she somehow managed to get away with it.

　Muttering this, he looked around in a circle.
　After looking at each and every one of the faces, he lifted the corners of his mouth in mockery.

But you let them run away and now you're back here again. I don't know how you got to know the brave man ...... or even encountered him when he attacked here?　And it would be stupid if it made you feel better.
You're the one who got scared off by me and ran off in a hurry. If I'm a fool, it's you, who nonetheless showed up in my presence.
"Hmmm, it's not very pleasant to be perceived as an escaped ......, but that's okay. A fool often fails to understand the actions of a wise man.
What's the difference?　That's all I could think of, though.
Of course. Because your attack was foreseen.
"...... Heh?

　Akira's eyes narrowed at the words.
　He insists with every fiber of his being that it's not to be missed.
　And so it will be.

　I heard how Akira came to attack this base.
　Akira didn't find this place on a hunch, but by buying that kind of information.

　There are people who are called "informers.
　They handle information in the literal sense of the word, and there is no information they can't gather.
　While that is certainly an exaggeration, it is a fact that they handle a variety of information, sometimes the secrets of other countries, and sometimes they know secrets that no one else knows.

　And because of the information they handle, they know the value of the information better than anyone else, and they are sincere about the information.
　They know the value of information more than anyone else because they handle it, and they are serious about it.
　There are two types of information: customer information and false information.

　They also do not sell gossip as fact.
　The information they sell as fact is only reasonably well-founded.
　It is pricey, but it is worth it.

　Because they deal in information, they will not be able to form a friendship.
　It is because they have the pride of being informers.
　Sometimes their pride makes them willing to sell their friends' information.
　Contacting them unnecessarily is synonymous with selling out your own information for free, and you will never become friends with them unless there are exceptional circumstances.

　But you can trust them and the information they bring to you. ...... The devil's advocate breaks that trust.
　It is said that Akira went to this place as soon as he got his hands on the information.
　In other words, if he knew in advance that Akira was going to attack, then the information that Akira bought the information was passed along.

　But, well, ...... that's how it can be considered.
　The devil only uses the word "foresight".
　It's possible that he may have learned of Akira's attack through some other means: ...... or he may have simply expected it.

　It's a brave man, so there's no doubt he'll attack sooner or later.
　Even if you only predicted that, the devil is not lying.

　To begin with, there is no guarantee that the devil is not lying.
　I'm not sure if Akira understands that, or if he sniffs at it.

"You want to upset me?　The devil's got a lot of ...... No, you've always been a coward.
Call it what you will. A true intellect is just what it looks like to a fool like you. That's why I'm curious about ....... How did you see through my trap?　I'm sure none of you were aware of it.

　Although I knew from what I just said, it seems that there was some kind of trick inside that seemingly empty hut.
　However, they were all blown away by Akira's blow.

　Whether that was intentional or not, however, is hard to say.
　At least Milene was unaware of what was planted inside the hut.


　Despite the fact that I had seen it with my own eyes, there didn't seem to be anything there.

　But if it wasn't intentional, it was clearly overkill.
　And although Milene doesn't have much of a relationship with Akira, she knows that Akira is not someone who would do such a thing for no reason.

　So, even if you didn't know it clearly, there's a good chance you had a hunch about it.

"Huh?　How did you do it, it's just a hunch, isn't it?

　That said, Akira had no scruples and was just trying to say that he was telling the truth.
　No, perhaps that's actually true.
　You will be able to find out what no one else could have noticed, based on mere intuition, yes - and having thought that far, Milene suddenly realized.

　No one could have noticed it.
　--Really?

　I thought and looked at him at the same time.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find it.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the best out of it.

　Then you understand.
　After all, Allen knew that there was something inside the hut.

　But why didn't I tell them that? Then I remembered the devil's words from earlier.
　None of us were aware that ...... the devil should have said that.

　Those words would not have come out unless they knew what we were doing.
　If you think about it, the timing of the demon's appearance was also too good to be true.

　I nodded my head in agreement with the thought.
　It seems that the demon was watching us in some way, and Allen was aware of that.

　Perhaps Henriette, who was in agreement with Allen's words, was too.
　I wonder if the fact that the two of them are leaving it completely up to Akira to deal with the demon has something to do with that.
　The two of them are watching the demon's words and actions, as if they are dedicated to obtaining information. ...... At such a sight, Milene bites her lip.

　It's not worth it.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for and what you're looking for.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to help others or do what you set out to do.
　The pettiness was beyond pathetic.

　But it won't amount to anything if it ends there.
　The reflection will come later.
　Following the example of Allen and the others, Milene will also be watching the demon's words and actions.

Hmmm, a hunch, or ...... that kind of thing trumps my schemes. It's a good thing that you're a brave man.
"Then what are we going to do?　Are you going to get away with it again in a cowardly way?
There's no reason to be so provocative. ...... Well, all right. In a way, it's just as well. No matter how nasty it is, it's over once you're dead.
"Ha! ...... If you can do it, go ahead and do it. ......!

　At the same time as the words, Akira jumped out at me.
　It's not as if they think that Akira is enough, but still, there's no movement on their part.
　I'm sure you've been thinking about what to do. ...... In the end, I decided to follow in their footsteps.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about the best way to help them.
　I've been thinking about this while ...... glanced sideways for a moment.
　And I don't know how Chloe will work.

　I'm sure that Chloe has a more direct grudge against him than Milane does.
　You can only stare at the demon now, but it's hard to tell what he's thinking from his profile.
　There's no wonder what he does, and you should be on standby for that moment.

　Or, to be honest, I'm more surprised that Chloe hasn't made any movement-like movements so far.
　Chloe is basically an intuitive character.
　It's the type of person who acts before thinking, and if Milene knew Chloe, she would have already attacked the devil.

　But that's all that was being done here ...... by the devil, and that might be what it was.
　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
　Maybe it's because of something that Milene doesn't know.

　It was some time before we met again, and Milene had many experiences that Chloe didn't know about.
　There's a lot of things we haven't talked about, and I'm sure there's a lot we haven't heard yet.

　But for now, this takes priority.
　Milene turned her attention back to Akira and kept her eyes fixed on her neighbor.
