"...... huh?

　Hearing the stunned voice over his back, Allen let out a breath.

　There are a lot of things to say, but for now, there's one thing to say.

I'll give you an extra-large sermon later.
"--Heh?　Well, uh, ......?
"The message from Isabel. . and a lot of other things, but I think we're all angry about it.　For not saying anything, I guess.
"...... Ah

　With those words alone, I think you got what you wanted to say.
　You can feel an indescribable but still very confused atmosphere coming from behind.

"Well, ...... did I do that to everyone?
"You don't know the specifics, but you do know what Chloe was doing: ...... In short, she was cheating on us.
"I see ...... has been exposed. ......

　The muttering sounded to Allen as if it were coming from resignation.
　But before you can say anything to that, a word is thrown at you from ahead.

The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a copy of ....... Did you guys know it was betrayed because it came here?
"No?　Even before that?
"What ...... Ugh, lie ...... since when ......?
"Hmmm, well, I guess so: ...... Strongly, from the beginning, I guess?
Go to ............?

　Chloe let out a stunned voice, as if the words were unexpected.
　But it's true.

It's just that even though Akira attacked us, it was too good to hide and get away with it by deceiving the demon's eyes. There are many other reasons, but at least that's the reason why I questioned it in the first place. I'm sure both Henriette and Akira probably felt the same way, right?　As for Milene, she seemed to be more inclined to believe me than to doubt me. I don't think she was even aware of her suspicions, since it seemed to be unconscious.
"Hmmm. ...... I wouldn't say "......". I didn't expect much from the start. It's more or less just a matter of getting a brave man here as planned. But then there's one thing that bothers me.
"What?
Why did you come here knowing that you were being betrayed?
"Oh, that?　I think it's true that the Amazons are being held captive, and they asked for help. Then there's no reason not to come. I wouldn't feel better waking up if we left them behind.
"You're a traitor?
"Well, ...... has been calling for betrayal and backstabbing for a while now - is it really that important?
"...... what?

　For Allen, it was only natural, but the demon man's eyes widened in surprise.
　As for Allen, he was more surprised by the reaction and tilted his head.

"Is that a surprise?　How often is betrayal a common occurrence in the first place?　In fact, it's easier to read your actions because you know you're betraying me from the start, and then it's as good as not betraying me anymore, isn't it?
"Yeah, ...... no, that doesn't sound like something different, but ......?

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　It's not that he was directly harmed by Chloe, even though he was called a betrayer.
　I don't remember being induced by Chloe, it was all a result of our own choice.

　The decision to come here was made by Allen and his team themselves.
　Then it doesn't matter what Chloe thinks and does.

Are you saying it doesn't matter that the traitor even asked for help?
"I'll tell you what?　If the help comes from the heart, then the traitor or not is a trivial matter.
"Hmph. ...... You sound like a brave man," he said.
I don't think so. I'm not that kind of person.

　It's all too familiar to me.
　It's not that big of a deal, and I'm sure Allen knows that better than anyone else.

　But that is no reason not to respond to a call for help.
　That's all there was to it.

Hmm ...... sounds like a rather interesting character, which is a shame. I've decided that I'm only interested in one person at a time. Now that I've decided to watch it crumble, I don't have time to deal with you.
That's good to hear. I have to get Chloe back home as soon as possible. I'm sure it's fine with Akira and the others, but I want to meet up with them as soon as possible.
Oh, ...... Yeah, that's right ......, why are you here in the first place ......!　I thought I was leaving here with everyone else. ......
"Hmmm, I don't know why you're asking me that. ...... I dare say it's on behalf of all of us.　I've been saying this for a while now, to bring Chloe home safely and ...... to beat the crap out of the culprit.

　While saying that, Allen narrowed his eyes.

　Needless to say, once again, Allen understood the current state of affairs.
　You're going to be able to find out what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to find out what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to find out what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to find out what you're looking for.

　And all of that will be solved by defeating this demon in front of you after all.
　That's why we came for that and we have no reason not to do so.
　That's all.



"Hoho ...... beat me,?　Kukkaku ...... Okay, sure, and then everything will be fine.
"I don't see how it's possible?
Of course. If you are really a brave man, or if a brave man had come here, then one in ten would have a chance. If you were really a brave man, or if you had come here, you might have won at least one in a million. But that's why you can't kill us demons. If there's no way to kill us all, I will win somewhere. --Above all.

　At the same time as the words, the man snapped his fingers.
　That's all, and seemingly nothing else is happening.

　But...

"How could you, dying here and now, be better than me?

　There was almost no change in vision, but that almost was also a problem.

　The slightest change is the slightest flicker in space, and that flicker adds up from front to back and left to right and right to surround Allen.
　The true nature of the flickering is probably compressed space, and you won't get away with it if you touch it.

　It would take a lot of effort and skill to create just one of them, but creating and deploying several such things is something to say.

I'm sure you have an idea of what's going on at ......," he said.　This is a real shame: ...... How much fun it would have been to torture you to your heart's content. I'm afraid I'm out of luck this time.
"No luck, hey ...... well, sure, is that right?　If it wasn't for this situation, I could have played with him a bit more.
I think that ...... needs to be corrected a little bit. Apparently, you know what's going on, but you don't understand your position and situation.
"Hmm?　No, I think you know what I mean?　It means that the devil is doing something useless in front of you.
"...... Okay. Very well. So you want to die. --Then die.

　With that, the man snaps his fingers once more--

　--The World's End: Zanma's Tathagata and Ranbu.

　In a moment, it sliced through all the fluctuations of space that existed around it.

　Of course, there wasn't a scratch on Allen, he just let out a single breath.
　There was enough to say, but whether that meant he could understand Allen was another story.

What?　Ba, stupid ...... you, what the hell are you doing ......!
What do you call it, I just cut it up?
"Slashed ...... slashed? ......!　Foolishly, slicing through that many compressed spaces all at once, not to mention the brave men, even we ......!
And like I said, I'm not going to take my time. --It's over.

　--The power of the sword, "World's End": a sword cut in two.

　As soon as the words are spoken, the slash is swept out and cuts the man's body in two.
　Normally, this would have been an instantaneous death, but as expected of a demon.
　You can't believe everything that has happened and look down at your own body as you widen your eyes.

It's not just a matter of time before you get your hands on a new one. I honestly can't believe it, but ...... it's all the same in the end. It's all the same in the end. No matter how powerful you are, we have no ......?

　But even so, the man's demeanor was vaguely relaxed, but after a moment of doing so, his eyes widened even more.
　He noticed something and said he couldn't believe it with all his heart - and

"Nah ...... stupid, this is ...... restoration will not start, so ......!　Silly, you mean you can kill us ......!
"Hmm?　I just don't know what you mean by that. ......?

　According to what Henriette told me, the demon was only one of the beings in the human category.
　If you are a higher-dimensional being like the former Henriette, a human being would naturally die if you cut off his head or cut his body in half.

　But the way the man said it, it sounds like that wouldn't kill you.
　I don't believe such a creature exists, or at least Allen has never seen one before. ...... I wonder if it's that thing.
　I'm sure you'll find that when you cut off the man's body, there was something strange about it, so we sliced it apart together, but I wonder if that's related.

　But apparently I came up with the idea too late.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new pair of shoes.　I don't know how far the ...... world will take us. ......!

　With such a meaningful vindictiveness, the man ran out of things.
　I still don't know what it all means after all ...... but that's all right for now.
　It's a good idea, but there are some things that need to come first.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to get your hands on any of them.
I thought ...... might be a little bit dangerous, but ...... was totally safe. I felt like an idiot for thinking so much about it.

　I'm not sure I'm going to be the only one who can do that.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make a good impression, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make a good impression.
　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I was able to help you make such a face.

　With that in mind, he shrugged his shoulders once more and held out his hand to Chloe to quickly leave.
