You're from the future...

　Wölffer's question made me silent.
　How should I answer it?

'Judas analyzed it. Your magic wavelengths cannot be from this era.

　And Wölfer.

'Wavelengths of magic...?
'We're all bound by this thing called the law of cause and effect. It's the absolute rule that defines the world.

　Judah explains.

　The law of cause and effect?
　How does that connect to the question you asked earlier?

There's a law of cause and effect governing magic power. I don't need to explain it in detail, but the point is that when you analyze a person's magic power, you can find out the era from which they originated. When I analyzed your magic, I could see the law of cause and effect in a different era than we have now.

　And Judah.

　To be honest, I don't really understand the logic.

　But I think the point is this.
　You're going to be able to find out what we've come from the future by analyzing the magic of me and Stella and the others──.

I'm not accusing you of anything. Don't get me wrong about that.

　Wölffer said.

''- it's just as you guys see it. Me, Stella, Olivier and Regal are from the future, from the magical world.

　After thinking about it, I decided to tell the truth without hiding it.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you until now.
No, don't apologize. I don't care where you come from, I like you and you're staying here.

　Wölfer waved his hand and laughed.
　It's the same bold smile as usual.

''Let's not ask about the future of the magical world. It would be boring to find out what's ahead.''
Because just because you hear it in the first place doesn't mean it's going to happen.

　Judah said.

'The future is a myriad of possibilities. The future that you have come from and the future that we spend our time in are not necessarily connected.
What do you mean?
Simply put, we're going to branch out.

　And Judah.

'Branches....'

　I repeated those words.

"So, you're saying that for some reason, the future splits in two...?
Yes, because of this repetition, there are probably an infinite number of future worlds. In short, there are as many futures as there are possibilities.

　Judah explains.

'This is information I got from my analysis of the law of cause and effect,'
A thousand futures...

　So, no matter what we do here, the future we've come to is the same....

I don't understand all the small details. That sort of thing is the domain of Judas.

　Wölfer smiles bitterly.

'Let's talk about something else from here.

　Wölffer snapped his hands with a bang, as if to dismiss any future-related talk.

'There is no sun in the demon world. There is a moon, but it's not the kind that lights up the world.'

　Saying, the 'Beginning Demon King' looked at me.

'Fried, what about the times you came from?　Is the demon world still a dark world?
Yeah.
''Humans are trying to kill us demons unilaterally as the 'evil ones'. Will that not change in the future?

　Judas asks.

"Do you think the demons - for humans - should be destroyed?　I'd love to hear it from your mouth. From your former human mouth.
Huh...!

　I gulped.

'Oh, don't worry. I've only told Velfer about this. I don't want to create unnecessary confusion and conflict, you know?

　Judas waves his hand in a nonchalant manner.

　How far does this guy see into the future?
　Not only does he know we're from the future, but he knows I used to be a man.

　Fearsome insight and perception.
　It's another time, but he's still Judas.

I'd love to hear about it. It's very interesting to hear from you, a former human and current demon tribe.

　Judah smiled.

'People and demons - I want to know how you feel about spending both lives.
Hmm. That's something I'm interested in.

　Wölffer looks at me.

"I don't think...

　I wonder what he thinks of the demon race.
　I've asked myself this question more than once since I was reborn as a demon king.

　I have to ask myself that question again.

　When I was a human, I was fighting to destroy demons.
　I believed that by defeating the demons, the world would become peaceful.
　I believed that I could protect people's happiness.

　He never imagined that the demons he had to defeat were also seeking happiness.

　But after becoming the king of demons and treating them not as enemies, but as vassals and friends, my opinion changed dramatically.

　The way I felt about it also changed.

"I want to make the demon world a place where people can live in peace.
