Cheers!

　After the match was over, we were at a restaurant on Central Avenue for the launch.

　Of course, we couldn't drink alcohol yet, so we all toasted with juice.

''Thank you all for your hard work,''

I'm not too tired because I only used one magic shot.
Me too, me too.

'That's true, too. At any rate, it's a successful defense of the classroom.

No!

Even though I'm a top-ranked student, I was up against a class that isn't very strong, so I was able to win overwhelmingly. But next time, there may be a stronger class that wants to play us.

　That's right. We can't let our guard down just because we won with ease this time. We have to play against each other every month.

　And a lot of students and teachers were watching us play against each other. From now on, it's unlikely that we'll be able to put them all together in a single blow like we did this time.

''Also, it might not be a one-on-one matchup, but rather an endurance game or a matchup where the effects of auxiliary magic will determine the superiority of the opponent. Don't be satisfied with today's victory, but learn well in class tomorrow and get stronger.

"Yes!

　After that, we ate and drank to our heart's content and the party was dismissed.


　.........

'I'm sorry I couldn't make a show of it, Master Hurt.

　On the way back to our compound, Tina apologized.

'I don't mind. Winning is more important.

''That's true, but there's also a little bit of a reason why I wanted to see Master Hurt fighting.

Okay, well, I'll do my best to make Tina look good in our next matchup.

'Hmmm, I'm counting on it. By the way...
Yeah, Tina's on to it.

Yes, Yoko, you're in there, right? Please come out.

　Tina turns around and calls out to the space, which should be empty.

'Hmm, that's as good as Tina-Halibel. "Hmm, that's great of you, Tina Halibel, to sense my presence when you're not the master with whom I signed a contract.

　A girl in a kimono, Yoko, appeared at the spot where no one should have been there.

''Thank you for the compliment. That said, why did you follow us? Also, what's the deal?

Yeah, I'll tell you about it.

　This morning, I explained to Tina that Yohko had signed a master-servant contract with me and that Yohko was a demon race and originally planned to rule this school.

''I see, then you are the demon race possessed by Hurt-sama.

　Tina is angry for some reason.

　Then she gathered her magic power in her right hand and began to prepare to unleash her high-level magic on Yohko.

''Well, you wait! I am in absolute obedience to the Lord. Therefore, if the Lord doesn't want me to, I will never rule this school, so please forgive me!

　Yohko's body is trembling under the enormous amount of magical power that Tina wears.

Tina, wait. I'm not going to let Yohko do anything bad. Can't you let her stay in the school as a student?

'Master Hurt wants to protect that vixen because of the contract. It's a method the devil often uses. Don't worry, I'll take him down.

Hi. Oh, my Lord.

　Yoko is on her ass, looking at me with a tearful expression on her face.

　I don't want to lose the beautiful Japanese dressed girl who obeys me or see my personal maid kill someone, so I stand in front of her to protect Yoko.

'Tina, calm down. I'm not under the influence of any contract.

"What?

　Tina and Yoko give me a disgusted voice.

　Actually, I checked the status board after Yohko signed the contract with me, but...

　State: Curse (fixed status) :fixed

　It was as if the contract with Yoko had never been made.

　Is it because the curse of the evil gods has already taken hold?

　Incidentally, the mark of the master-slave contract is still firmly in place on Yoko's right hand, but the mark on my right hand disappeared before I knew it.

　I feel like I can feel a little bit of protection for Yoko, but it's at a level that I can ignore if I want to.

　In other words, I still have the master-slave contract with Yoko to obey me, but I no longer have the effect of wanting to protect her.

　I can now do whatever I want with the beautiful kimono girl without any disadvantages. Even though she's a demon, Yohko looks like a human being in human form.

　Moreover, she's quite cute.
　It's outrageous to have Yoko killed.

Yoko, get up!
Yes, sir.

　Yoko stands up by my command.

'Turn once and meow.
Meow.

　Yoko spun around on the spot and then squealed in great embarrassment.

'Hey? You will obey my orders to the letter.
Oh, my Lord.

　It was the first time the master-servant contract had ordered him to do so, and Yohko seemed confused by the fact that his body had moved on its own, regardless of his own will.

''You may obey Halt-sama, but this person can brainwash or attack anyone but Halt-sama.

So, you're not allowed to maliciously attack a human unless I give you permission to do so.

　He ordered while fingering the master-slave contract magic circle in Yoko's right hand.

''Wow, I see it now!

That's not a problem, is it? Also, when you're not needed by Yoko, you'll always have her by my side and I'll keep an eye on her.

''But it's dangerous to have a demon on Master Hurt's side! Besides, even if you were to stay with her all the time, Yoko-san is a beautiful girl, and if you stay with her all the time, Hurt-sama's chastity would....

　I couldn't quite hear what Tina was saying in the second half, her voice was suddenly so quiet I couldn't hear what she was saying.
