　Jeanne waves to the audience until the end.

　Hijikata goes around the amphitheater to greet everyone, but leaves quickly without doing so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He remembers the backs of his rivals who are no longer with us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Jeanne's strength was 8, he was probably 10.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The match was called a draw, but after the game, Jeanne was declared the winner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne wanted the game to be black and white, because she had to decide who would accompany her in the dungeon search.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The winner was Jeanne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were two reasons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One was because the Demon King Asito had decided.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The last blow, the one before the last, was the deciding factor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne's blow cut the skin of the opponent's cheek, but Hijikata's blow only cut his clothes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The second reason was that Hijikata himself admitted defeat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Indeed, the master of the demon king is right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He sheathed Izumimamori Kanade and left without another word.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was refreshing to see a man who knew how to draw the line.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Jeanne did not like it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the final blow, Hijikata had clearly cut corners. He aimed at the flank when he could have aimed at the face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was this error of judgment that made the difference between victory and defeat, but it was more of a mercy than an error of judgment, and it was obvious that he was holding back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know this because I have crossed swords with him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In that match, Hijikata did not aim at Jeanne's face throughout the fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He attacked only below the neck.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because she is a woman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He never said it out loud, but it was as if he was pretending that "a woman's face is her life".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure that the fashionable and stubborn man would not admit it even if I asked him, but it was annoying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's annoying, because Jeanne has lived by the belief that there are no women or men on the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What a disgusting man!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what I thought, but my annoyance is halved when I think of one thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hijikata Toshizo was indeed a disgusting man, but he was a strong man. I admit that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there was an even stronger man in that arena.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was the Demon King Asito.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Jeanne and the others began to compete in earnest, he used his transfer magic from his seat in the guest of honor section to close the gap between them in an instant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He took Hijikata's hard sword by the feather and flicked Jeanne's holy sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no way an ordinary magician could do such a thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was a demon king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I was beginning to be touched by his kindness and mercy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they had fought like that, one or both of them would have been hurt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The demon king did not like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He stopped the fight by taking such a risk so that Jeanne and the others would not be hurt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"He is truly God's chosen Demon King. He is the king of love."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It must be a blessing to work for a king like him, I thought, but then I remembered that I was the lucky one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne was his subordinate and in command.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He played with her in his spare time and fed her a lot of food.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was a truly kind demon king who would teach me to read if I asked him to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Jeanne came to this world, she heard a divine revelation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Jeanne, save this other world. Save this other world as you saved your homeland France.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His voice was exactly the same as it had been then.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The same voice I had heard in my parents' barn when I was twelve years old, when I came to this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　God told me to serve the Demon King.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To the Demon Lord, one of the few people in this world with a heart of justice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To a realist, a believer in Machiavellianism, but not a ruthless, cold-hearted Demon Lord.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To the Demon Lord of mercy and compassion, I was told.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　God said that his name was "Asith, the Devil King.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ever since Jeanne heard those words, she traveled around this other world looking for the Demon King Asito, but she could not find him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Demon King Asito did not exist in this world at the time he heard the divine revelation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Demon King Asito is a newcomer to the world, born only a few months ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was a newborn Demon King.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But we were lucky enough to meet him, thanks to God, I suppose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Relying on a divine revelation, they went to an abandoned castle that had been ruled by the Demon King Azazel, and there they found Asito.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne knew at first sight that he was the "Chosen One.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was convinced that he was the one who would "bring harmony to good and evil" in this world, as God had said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne, reminded of this once again by his brilliant intervention in today's contest, clasped the cross on her chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The cross is not of this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So he made it himself, carving it out of wood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was simple and unsophisticated, but it was very warm in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It felt warm, as if I was holding Asito's hand.
