In the final layer of the dungeon of the ruins, Yoko and Chalkia were confronting the Demon Citry.

''Demon ... demon, you say?　It's not a shamanistic game.

Oh, there's no shamanistic ritual.

"There can't be a demon with your kind of monster-like magic!　Are you sure you're not a demon king?

Well, you see, it was that, actually, but the blessings of the evil gods were erased by your husband, so now, really, he's just a demon.

What?
What is this all about?

Well, let's just say that the final boss of this dungeon is a demon king who has lost his powers.

...Does my Lord know about this?

'You mean that I was the Demon King?　I probably don't know. Because up until the moment I tamed, they seemed to think I was a witch.

'Didn't you get offended when someone said you were a demon and not much more than a demon?

　Sitri giggled after hearing this statement from Yoko.

''That's an interesting thing to say. It's not important to say that you are a demon or a demon in front of him. Because he is an existence that can erase the blessings of the evil gods - God's blessings.

Well, that's true.
He's got a point!

　Yoko and Hakua were convinced by Citry's words.


''So, from what you've told me, you guys are acquaintances of your husband, right?

I don't know him.
We're Hurt's wife!

'Oh, really?　Well, I look forward to working with you in the future.

　Citry bows his head reverently.

'My Lord, you call my Lord your husband but you are not married to him, are you?

Yes, not yet. But I am tamed by the Master. A bond stronger than the uncertainty of marriage is what unites me and the Master.

Hmm. You really don't understand, do you?

Hmm... what do you mean by that?

Well, that's true. Fight us and teach us a lesson when you've won.

Do you want us to fight the two of you?

'Yes!　If I beat you, Halt will reward me.

Well!

　Suddenly Citry's expression brightened.

''So, on the contrary, if I defeat you two, I will be praised by your husband, right?

''Well, I don't know about that, but...''

'Don't worry. I'm sure the Master will praise me for it.

You think you can beat us?
Yohko and I are both very strong. No matter how strong the opponent is, we will not be defeated, even if he is a demon king!

　With these words, the two of them broke free of their human form and returned to their true form.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say.

''Ho, a nine-tailed fox and a white dragon? I'm sure it's a good idea to have confidence in it. But--

　Citry also released his power.

''I am a former Demon King too. Don't expect to be so easily defeated.''

　With the evil god's blessing gone, the magic power that Hurt replenished in an attempt to make up for the lost power had made Citry several times stronger than the original.

''Poof!　Yes, as I thought, the Demon King class is a tremendous power.
But we can't lose!　Halt's reward is waiting for me!
I know. Let's go, chalk!
"Yes, it's a ministry.

　The battle between those who sit at the top of this world has now begun.
