A baronet-class high-ranking demon race. It is a term that refers to a very small percentage of the existence in the demon world, but like the nobles of the human world, they do not have land or belong to a specific country.
　In fact, this term of a baronial high-ranking demon tribe was born by the hands of the 'Phantom King No Face' and has permeated the demon world.

　In the past, the demon world only had two broad designations: ordinary demons and high-ranking demons with a certain level of power.
　No Face thought that this was inconvenient in managing information in the demon world, so he created the name "Baronetcy High Fiend Race" to refer to those with especially high power among the high ranking demons, and with their overwhelming information ability, they quickly spread throughout the demon world.

　Only No Face and a few trusted confidants know the criteria for judging a Baronet's high ranking demon, and the title is also appointed by the Phantom King Corps.
　Nevertheless, for No-Face, the designation is for administrative ease of classification, so there is no separate appointment ceremony or mementoes presented to them.

　To those who are judged by No-Face and some of his confidants to have 'power above the standard', the Phantom King's subordinates suddenly appear and simply tell them verbally that they have been judged as a baronial grade.
　However, the title of the baronial grade is also a proof of great power in the meritocratic demon world, and it is a kind of status.
　It is even said that becoming a Baronet Class High Rank Demon Race would change the world. Even if you don't try to collect them, demons who want to be your subordinates will gather together, and wealth and fame will keep coming in one after another.

　Therefore, every demon once dreamed of being a title of high ranking demon. However, in the world of magic where there are so many races, there are really only a handful of people who can achieve this title.
　The Viscount-level high-ranking demon race, Caraway, was one of those chosen.

　She was born into a race that was originally not so powerful, and she was born with a talent unparalleled in the history of her species.
　As she grew up, she improved rapidly, eventually becoming the first of her kind to reach the rank of a knight, and was hailed as a 'hero' by her peers, who were lavish in their praise.

　For Caraway, the word hero of his race was a source of pride and a guideline to inspire him to live up to that name.
　At the same time, however, her status as a high-ranking demon race brings her sweet honeyed pleasures. Many demons wanted to be her subordinates, and their wealth was also gathered by her.
　And as she rose from baronetcy to baronetcy, the sweet nectar given to her increased even more, and she enjoyed a climax of happiness.

　She was indeed a genius ... a genius ... a stop.
　There was a wall between the Viscount and Count level that only a few more 'monsters' among geniuses could cross, and Caraway couldn't cross that wall.

　Maybe he should have just given up there. If only she knew her share and was satisfied with the position she was in now.......she would not have lost sight of her original intentions.
　But having tasted the supreme nectar, the heart wanted more pleasure. She began to think only of how much happiness awaited her when she reached the county grade.

　She did not have grandiose thoughts of rising to the top of the demon world. She understood that even if she spent her entire life in martial arts, she would not be able to reach the Sixth King by a hair's breadth. I just wanted to get as close to it as possible ... and ascend to a higher place.

　
　 I did.

　However, she was 'glad she failed'......................and because she failed, she is still alive today.
　If she had succeeded in kidnapping Kaito, she would have been immediately beheaded by No Face for causing chaos in the world.
　Her vision at the time was so narrowed that she couldn't even notice such a thing.

　........Even though it was difficult to build up, it was a moment to lose.
　Caraway had lost everything in that one incident. She was warned by the Sixth King and her reputation was severely lowered by the Sixth King.
　
　I don't intend to blame them for that. If the positions were reversed, she would have done the same. That's how absolute the Sixth King's existence was.

　All her subordinates had left her, and even her own people looked at her with a white eye. The speed at which she was tumbling from hero of the race ... to disgrace of the race ... was so fast that one could not help but laugh.
　And then, at last........free from her burning desire, she shed a huge tear and regretted her actions.

　Where did she go from her former self, who had worked hard to become an unashamed hero of her peers?　I wondered when I had become such an ugly fool....
　Repentance does not erase the mistakes of the past. She had fallen to the point of falling, and there was no longer any chance of her having a second chance, and Caraway accepted the soles.

　As long as the Sixth King forgave her, albeit with a warning, there was no one to blame her outwardly, but even so, the ridicule and scornful eyes did not disappear.
　Sole was bitter and painful... she didn't have the strength to take all the sins like the Demon King Fear and still keep walking.
　Over and over again, she regretted her past self and shed tears for what she had lost.

　It was so hard and painful that I wanted to run away, but I couldn't forgive myself for not doing anything to make amends.
　It's a good idea to make a word of apology to the victim of the incident, Kaito.

　I heard rumors of the Sixth King Festival, and was allowed to help with the condition that I would not be allowed to participate in the festival, and I pleaded with him to give me the opportunity to apologize to Kaito, and I came to him with an invitation in my hand.







　The Six Kings Festival was fast approaching, and Caraway was cleaning up the ground where it would be held. She is not under the control of the Sixth King, and she is not given any important work to do, only these chores, but she continues to do so without a single complaint.
　She is a celebrity in the demon world in a bad way, but she is inevitably the subject of a lot of strange looks.

　There are a number of people who were once under her command, but have now switched to a different demon race, and their gazes are very cold....
　A shadow suddenly appears in front of her as she continues her work in such a stifling atmosphere.

''...........Hold your hand for a moment, I have a message from the Phantom King.
Lady Pandora!　Gee, from the Phantom King.........yes......what is it?

　The one who appeared was the Phantom King's right-hand man, Pandora, who was renowned as the strongest of the Count class, and Caraway stretched his back with a frightened look when he heard those words.
　A messenger from the Sixth King visiting him........................I didn't think it was a rogue content. Could it be that he had made some kind of a crude mistake again?　The other demons seemed to think that way as well, and they deflected their gaze with a mixture of contempt to Caraway.

　However, the words that were told from Pandora's mouth were something that no one in the room expected.

''You are to follow the path of the visiting Miyama-sama tomorrow ... I don't mind stopping in the middle of your cleaning duties, but I want you to make sure you have a clear path.
"...What?　Huh?

　That was truly impossible. It is a well-known fact to many demon clans that the pleasant man is an important existence to the Sixth King.
　

''Well, wait!　Why, why would I........wow, I.......
Miyama-sama sent me. You don't have the right to refuse. Accept it respectfully.
"...what?　Miyama-sama.........me.......how could he........do that?

　It was true that when he had made his apology in Lilia's mansion before, Kaito had told him that he would forgive Caraway. However, that was only because Kaito was kind, and he thought that there would be some resentment left behind.
　For such a Caraway, the fact that Kaijin nominated him in person came out of the blue.

　However, the shocking development continues.

''Oh, I'll give you this one...''
What?　Is that ... a companion badge?　Why, why...?
Lord Miyama-sama has requested you to accompany me. You'll be sure to thank him for that.
"...why do you think...

　Caraway could not understand Kaito's behavior at all. Why should there be no resentment but no compassion.......

''........I'll pass on the message from Miyama-sama as it is.
...Yes, yes!
''I'm sorry for asking you to show me around so suddenly. Also, I'm sorry for being so selfish as to apply for a companionship and getting approval after the fact. It may be brazen, but as a 'friend', I would be happy if Caraway-san could enjoy the Six Kings Festival as well, so please accept it if it's not a nuisance.'.......That's all.

Then I'll give you the exact time. Do not be late or anything.
Yes, yes....

　After watching Pandora leave after telling her only what she needed to know, Caraway's shoulders shake with a small shake and tears in her eyes as she carefully wraps her hands around the badge she was given with both hands.

''Why ... such a foolish me ... my friend and ... ah ... why ... I ... ...Miyama-sama... thank you...

　Caraway, with large tears in her eyes, thanked the pleasant man who was not here.
　She had not yet realized. The fact that the word and message from Kaito was a saving grace that changed her current position.......

　Yes, since Kaito called Caraway a 'friend', she is recognized as Kaito's friend.
　 A single word from the pleasant person becomes a shield to protect her from being exposed to the white eye.

　However, it goes without saying, but Kaito himself does not think about such things at all, he just asked for a message in a very ordinary way.
　It's a little bit later when Caraway realizes the impact of Kaijin's words and misunderstands that 'Kaijin dared to say it to protect him', sheds tears to the point of withering from emotion and quietly pledges her loyalty to Kaijin....
