Thus, there were those who watched from far away as the assault on Lax village was being contained.

　It was Inferno and Roselwy.

　The two men, who were cooperating with each other, were watching the battlefield from a place far enough away to guarantee their safety.
　Of course, it was impossible to see what they could see from a distance.

　What made that impossible possible was the farsightedness magic of the inferno.

　Roselwy watches the victorious battle cry of Lax village reflected in the false image while biting his teeth.

''Inferno?　What do you mean!　Your assassins haven't just destroyed the village, they've done it unilaterally!　You didn't even kill a single dog!

　Roselwy's mood is quite bad.
　If this adulteration plan passed successfully, he also had a budding control over the Center Guild.

　That's why it failed and he would become angry.

''I thought it was a good plan when I heard about it, but what a disappointing subterfuge!　If my name comes out of the mouths of those men who were caught, won't I be done for!　If I'm not just expelled from the board, I might be accused of something!　You're headed straight for heaven on earth!
Yosa, you're acting as if you've been waiting for me.

　The red-cloaked Inferno looks at the magically created false image and mutters.

''The plan to attack was leaked in advance........But there was no way for the plan to be leaked to the other side from us. But there was no contact that was leaked from us to the other side........ Then..........

　Inferno's gaze turned to the side.
　The cloak hid the light in her eyes, but the pressure of her dense gaze, which was still recognizable because of it, was directed at one woman.

　To the dark secret agent Selmet.

　She had been cast a restraining spell, depriving her of her physical freedom.
　Because of the red light that clung to her limbs, she couldn't move her body at will, not even a little bit, even though it was her own.
　It was impossible for her, who was not blessed with magical talent to begin with, to blow this curse away by force.

''It's you, na...?''
Mmm...!

　When Inferno choked her, Selmeto did her best to just look away and dodge.

　Already she was being reminded to her bones.
　That this mysterious being covered by a red cloak was an irresistibly frightening presence to her.
　Resistance was pointless.

　That's why she used her cold-hearted judgment to pick out the part that absolutely had to be resisted.

''When I contacted them with the magic communicator, I wove some kind of code into it.... Besides, the other side sensed the danger.
Huh...?
Bravo. I thought the brainwashing spell was working because of the fact that you spat out all the details. Even that was just a bluff for our last hope...

　Yes.
　Selmet had already spoken up everything he knew.

　Dariel's previous job. Having spent his time on the demon side from birth until he reached his thirties.
　That he had been favored by the previous Four Heavenly Kings, Glamberza, and had even served as an assistant to the Four Heavenly Kings.
　And many other things.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

　Thanks to that, I was able to successfully weave a secret code word into a false communication aimed at luring Dariel out and conveying the danger.
　It was a better decision than being poorly endured and having a more powerful brainwashing spell cast on me and depriving me of my genuine ability to think.......

''And anyway, now that it's come to this, we have no choice but to escape!

　Roselwy begins to fidget about getting ready.

'Where to?　The plan to bring Dariel in has not yet worked...?
'You know that's not possible anymore!　All hands were lost and all that was left was the charge of attacking one village!　I had nothing to gain!　It was a mistake to believe in this guy, you know!

　It was a self-serving way of saying that he had taken part in the inferno's schemes, but that was exactly the behavior of a politician trying to escape all responsibility.

　But in the end, that was the last decision he made in this world.

That's right. That's right........for me, it was a small achievement, but it was an achievement. It's only a small achievement, no more than a speck of dust....
'What's that?　... no, I don't care. Don't touch me for a while, okay?　Make sure you clean up after yourself this time and eliminate any chance of being pursued. Until then, I don't want to see your face!　You understand?
Don't worry, you won't be seeing me again. And don't worry, you won't be seeing me again, not just me, but all the people you've met and all the people you've met.
Huh?　Higaaaaaahhhh?
"...you'll never see me again.

　Roselwy was swallowed by a large mouthful.

　Inferno's abdomen. She was covered by a large mouth that suddenly popped out from inside the cloak-covered interior, chewed, swallowed, and dragged into the cheating mouth.

"Aaaaaaah!　It's a painful bite!　It hurts.　What is this?　We'll be swallowed up!　We'll be devoured!
This little achievement is all about you. Selfish, selfish and self-absorbed. That kind of rottenness makes for some pretty tasty food.
"You've got to be kidding me!　I'm not!　I am the man who will change the world!　The man who sponsors a hero to slay the Demon King?　It's not going to end like this!　I can't die yet!　For the sake of the world!

　Even though he was spouting grandiose words, Roselwy was dragged in with his arrogant mouth.
　Into that large mouth that does not seem to belong to an approximate person.

　Already, half of his body has been chewed, bitten and polished to a crisp and has lost its original form.

"No.........?　I'm not going to be eaten like this........?　We're going to be eaten alive.........　My right hand is gone!　Chewed down...?　My legs and my stomach?　No!　Don't eat it, no!

　But such a plea went unheeded in the slightest, and Roselwy disappeared after being swallowed up to his head in a large mouthful.
　The person called Roselwy disappeared without a trace, leaving not even food residue.

　A burp and a breath filled with the smell of human flesh and blood escaped from his belly.

''Hi!　Hiiiiiiii........?

　Selmet was forced to witness the whole thing.
　He was so terrified and astonished that his sanity was about to be blown away.

　The large, visceral mouth that had popped out of the cloak was once again zealously drawn back into the cloak.

　In the meantime, Inferno said to himself.

''........However, it's a big mistake Dana.
Quite a handsome, handsome handsome handsome man, who was raised to provide sustenance for us, but now he's caught.
The food you just ate was also a trash that had no aura to speak of, despite its modest success. The distortion of my mind is good, but it's just delicious, nutritious garbage, so to speak.
There is no such thing as a feeding frenzy.
..........

　Can it be called a soliloquy?
　The voices leaking out of one person's body sounded like a multitude of people buzzing around and discussing with each other.

　There was only one person in the room.

It's painful to lose about a hundred of the bait we were raising.
Brainwashing spells on each and every one of them ♡ Let the hatred, envy, and frustration ripen ♡ Some of them are almost ready to pass as my bait, and now it's all for naught ♡ What are we going to do now ♡?
'But it was worth the cost. The quantity and quality of the aura possessed by that man, Dariel, was worth it. If you could dye a great man like that with anger and hatred, it would far exceed the value of one or two thousand of the mooks you threw in.
If you fail to do so, it is no good.
..........

　What in the world was he talking to, Selmet was terrified.
　Are they muttering to themselves, using different colors of voice? Or are there actually a few of them, though he could only find one, no matter how he looked at it.

　Whichever one was correct, it was too unusual.

　Selmet felt like he was going crazy just staring at them from the side.

'It's a shame, we all do, but we can't cling to it forever. Our movements must not be known to the public.
You can't imagine how wide the Demon King's eyes are. That's why he avoids the demon territory that is his domain and works in the human domain. I don't know if it's even possible.
That's why we must act with great care and secrecy. That's why I used that director as a cover. Calmness is tolerance.
"Then we have no choice but to step aside quietly. No one will notice and in secret.
That's why I'm going to...

　A voice naturally escaped from Selmet's mouth.

''Huh!''

　And.
　An unseen feeling of fear leaks out.

'You can disappear here, Lavaneva. I can't leave a single trace of my presence here.

　With that, he approaches Selmet with each step.

'If your spirit was low and rotten, I took it in and did it as my flesh and blood, Gana. It's a shame," he said, "that you can't have the integrity to serve the Lord even at the expense of your own self. It's a shame.
Get out!　I don't want to come!

　Even if you are noble, you can't suppress your fear.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

The first thing you need to do is to get rid of it in an instant so that you don't have to suffer. I'm sure you'll be able to see that every last piece of corpse is intact.

　An arm coming out of the cloak.
　At the end of his hand, there was already a magical fire like the fires of hell.

''Burn it all up with this. Farewell Da.

　The flames were about to be showered on Selmet, just before they were about to be showered on him....

I won't let it.

　A voice came down from heaven.
　At the same time.
