When they returned to Ivalice, they saw their men leave the city of Ivalice one by one.

　The only things left in Ivalice were the minimum number of defenders, and Sati and the Demon King-sama.
　-- Aside from Sati, why is the Demon King-sama here?
　I had such a question, but she replied with this waka poem.


She replied with this waka poem: "A little echo of Narukami, a little cloudy, will the rain not fall?


　When I heard those words in Ivalice's hall, I became puzzled.
　Seeing his appearance, the Demon King-sama makes a disappointed face.

''--what?　Won't you give me a song back?

'Returning song...?　Is it?

　The old-fashioned narrative, and the word "return song" makes me realize that the word is an old Japanese song, but unfortunately I wasn't intellectual enough to remember the source of the word.

'...................

　So I can only reply by silence, but the demon king added

"A little echo of the god Narukami, if it doesn't fall, I will stay, my sister, if I stay, this is my return song.

'Huh...'

　And I'm the one who gives the artless reply. I ask what it means for now.
　The demon king told me in a daze.

He said, "Narukami no kami ni kami ni kansuru shimadome, no rain? This is a word that means just a little bit of lightning and rain, so that you can stay in this building.

I see.

In response to this, Narukami's reply, "If it doesn't rain, I'll stay, my sister, if it stays. I will be here, if you want me to be, even if it doesn't rain.

　That's what the song means.
　That's what it means," the demon king tells us.
　It seems to be a passage from the Manyoshu.
　As expected of a feudal lord. His culture surpasses that of modern people.
　I'm honestly impressed, and Satie seems to be impressed as well.

''It's a very romantic poem. It's like a poem written by a laurel poet.'

　And her eyes sparkled like a maiden's.
　The Demon King smiled at that.

''This little girl is much more of a romantic. This is why men can't.''

　The demon king-sama assures her of this and begins chanting the spell.

　As she finishes chanting the spell, thick clouds appear in the sky that was clear earlier and it begins to rain.

　I muttered to myself as I watched the scene. In my mind.

(If you want to stay in this mansion. You should have said so directly.)

　On the other hand, the Demon King sat on the sofa with a bare face and had Satie pour him a cup of tea.
