128 - - It's really dangerous to look suspicious.








 The night was well underway.

 Charlotte and her friends arrived at the residence of the Marquis of Hafen in the center of the capital.



 They are looking for the <> (named after Charlotte), which is the key to the resurrection of the Demon God.



 The residence of the Marquis of Hafen is now empty.

 The heir to the throne, Schneidal Hafen, has disappeared, and the Marquis has put the house up for sale.



 In the silence, Charlotte, in her magical girl style, clears her throat.



"I feel like I'm going to see an apparition..."



"What are you, scared?"



 Lias asks sarcastically.



"Yes, I have a fear of the unknown. Just like Prince Raius.



"Oh, no, no, no, I'm not afraid!"



"Your legs are shaking, though."



"Shut up! It's that, a warrior's tremor."



Marianne is dumbfounded, "Another lame excuse ......."



 In fact, Lias is secretly super-terrified. It's not that he's afraid of the ghosts, but that he's nervous about when the demon will appear.



 Irisphilia says without reading the situation.



We don't have time for idle chatter. Even if there is no one inside, it is still trespassing. Let's get this investigation done quickly.



"You're very calm, Mr. Iris."



"I'm still nervous. I don't know if I can fight a demon without Shiva ......."



 Charlotte has informed me that Shiva cannot be here for some reason.



(Though I'm sure she's watching for him somewhere.)



 It is hard to imagine him putting Charlotte in harm's way. Irisphilia had a vague sense of his true identity, but she interpreted it as her inexperience that he had not yet revealed it to her.



"Well then, let's get on with it! Let's go!



 Charlotte jumps up and over the high wall.



"Hey, wait! Don't leave me alone!"



 Lias jumped over the wall, self-reinforcing.

 Marianne and Irisphilia follow.



 Carelessly, the door was unlocked and the four entered the main house.





"I don't see anything!"



 We looked around the large mansion from corner to corner, but found absolutely nothing.



"I don't see any demon. Is this a disappointment?



 Charlotte nods her head.

 Marianne strokes her blonde hair gently and says.



"Charlotte, don't be so downhearted. We've only checked the inside of the building. Look, you can see the courtyard from here. Maybe there's something there ......, and ...... something there ......."



 Looking down through the large windows, you can see a treasure chest in the middle of the courtyard.

 It was a large box with dazzling red and gold decorations, and looked like a < of the type often seen in video games.



"It's too obvious!



It wasn't there before. When did this happen?



"Maybe it's a trap for the demoniacs."



 Charlotte tells Marianne, who raises her eyebrows.



"Maybe a treasure chest-type demon moved in?"



Wait, there's such a thing?



"I don't think it's possible to be born and not move all the time."



"I asked if they exist?"



 It happens a lot in games," Charlotte replied, and jumped out of the window.



"You're still as careless as ever."



 Lias jumps down with a whine. The two remaining men quickly followed.



"Huh?" Lias twists his head when he lands on the ground.



 The treasure chest, which had been there when he looked at it from above, had disappeared.

 Did the treasure chest really move by itself?



"Around there, right?"



 Riis approached him,



"You can't just walk up to them without warning, can you?"



 A voice from above says, "You tell me.

 Charlotte flew in circles around the area where the treasure chest had been.



"It looks like you can only see it from certain angles. I'll just check if it's a demon or not..."



 Irisphilia exclaimed as she raised her magic stick.



"Dodge! Behind you!"






 Reflexively, I twisted around, and something passed by me at high speed where I had been just a moment ago.



 No, it was someone.



"Oh? How did you avoid it?"



 The someone who spits out a glamorous voice lands by the treasure chest.



 The tight black leather outfit only modestly conceals her breasts and crotch. The tight black leather outfit only modestly concealed her breasts and crotch, and her plump flesh seemed to spill out in various places.

 Short white hair and red eyes. Bat-like wings on her back.



"You're a female executive, aren't you?



 Charlotte was very excited.



"What a shameful outfit you're wearing!"



 Lias is at a loss for words.



"That's not the problem!"

"It's a demon. Everyone, be on your guard!"



 Irisphilia makes a fist.

 Marianne is behind her, ready to fire her magic at a moment's notice.

 Lias rushes to them, too, and half falls to the ground.



"Oh, you're so cute! Yes, I am Vali, a demon born of Luciphila. But I'm not here to play with you.



 Vali the witch, a woman in an outrageous costume, licks her tongue and makes a supple gesture.



"This is what I'm here for. You've been looking for me too, haven't you? But duh, I'll take it."



 Valli reached for the treasure chest beside her.



 Tension rises.

 Charlotte and the others are about to attack, lest it be taken from them.



 Boom!

"Hegya!



 The treasure chest opens by itself and bites into their hands.



"You're really alive! ......"

"I don't know any demons like that. ......"

"You're lucky I didn't approach you unintentionally. ......"



 All three were amazed and dismayed,



"It was a cannibalistic treasure chest, after all."



 Charlotte's eyes lit up.
