Cain is confused by Dalmatia, who suddenly kneels down and bows her head.
　Even when she became Cain's squire, she had never dealt with her in this way before.
　However, Lizabeth sits down on the sofa and looks down at Dalmatia and narrows her eyes.

'You seem to know your mistress ....... 'Are you one of my peers?'

　At those words, Dalmatia shakes her shoulders a bit and lowers her head further.

'Hey, I didn't know Dalmatia was going to be like this, is Riza ......?

　Lizabeth loosened her mouth a little at Cain's words.

"Cain is fine as it is. After all, you saved my life.
...... Yeah.

　Standing up, Dalmatia prepares the tea as it is and places a cup in front of each of us.

''I've also left at short notice, so I have to return soon. I don't mind if you relax in the house for a while. But... if you can transform yourself into something like Dalmatia, would you do me a favor?　The other squires would be surprised.

　Putting a hand to her chin at Cain's words, Lizabeth smiled and nodded, thinking for a moment.

It's a favor to me. It's a favor from my benefactor, and I can't do it without a fight. I understand.

　Saying that, he chanted something in a whisper, and there sat Lizabeth, whose horns were hidden by her beautiful, white, straight hair, and who could be considered an immensely beautiful girl from all angles.
　Cain couldn't help but clear his throat at the beauty of the girl.

''It would be great if you could stay with that. You can get the details from Dalmatia. But still, Riza is .......

　Cain immediately understood that it was called Dalmatia's response earlier and that she was definitely a Demon King class being.

''Although she is a princess of a kingdom, she is not doing anything. She is free.''

　I look at Dalmatia and she tugs her chin a little to show her sympathy.

'Then you know about Set and stuff like that ......?'

　Lizabeth's eyes widened a little at those words.

'Lord Set knows it too. So, you are under Lord Set's command?　But still, Cain, don't you have any feelings of abhorrence for the demon race?
Why?　Demons, like elves and beastmen, are one race, right?　I think it just looks a little different: ......

　Cain's answer makes Lizabeth laugh out loud.

'Hahaha. So that's what the Lord has in mind. I understand. But the fact that he calls Set-dono "Set" doesn't seem to be one of Set's men. ......?　He's a demon king too, in a way. ......

'Hmmm, I guess Set is like a friend ....... He's helped me with a lot of things, but Dalmatia is also working for me at the mansion through Set's introduction.

　In the midst of their joyful conversation, Dalmatia broke out in a cold sweat. Dalmatia knows who this Lizabeth is. And what position she is in the demon race. But as long as he or Cain doesn't tell you, it's not something that Dalmatia can talk about.

I wonder if you can call the Demon King a friend. "I'm not sure if you can call him a friend. What do you think?　Can't you be a friend to me, mistress?
Yeah, that's fine.

　Cain replies and holds out his right hand.

'What's this ......?'

　Lizabeth's question Cain nods his head.

'You don't know anything about shaking hands?　We hold each other's hands. It's like a friend's greeting. Here, give me your hand!

　Cain squeezes Lizabeth's hand as she curiously holds out her right hand.

'Like this,'

　Lizabeth looks down at the hand she's holding and her cheeks relax a little.

This is what a handshake is all about, isn't it? It's not that bad. It's the first time I've done it.

　As they let go of each other's hands and sat down again, Cain began to explain the future.

'You can come over here at night, but I have to go back to where I was earlier, so take your time. Dalmatia, I asked you to prepare your room and stuff.
Very well. I'll be right with you, sir.

　Cain metastasized from the scene, leaving Lizabeth to Dalmatia to take care of Lisabeth.

　In the room where only Lizabeth and Dalmatia remained, Lizabeth smiled.

Dalmatia and Cain are interesting, aren't they?　You will be in our care for a little while.

　At Lizabeth's words, Dalmatia straightens her posture and bows deeply.

''With all due respect, I will do my best with all my heart, Your Highness.
I asked. First of all, may I ask for a meal at ......?　We weren't being fed anything decent. ......

　With those words, Dalmatia immediately ran to prepare the meal.

　

　◆ ◆ ◆

　Silence reigned in the arena after they disappeared.
　A demon race and a mysterious man who suddenly disappeared. And Germs rolling around, fainting from a blow.

''............ What the hell is this ......?''

　The voice of vision echoed through the silent hall.
　It was the same with Telestia and the others who were watching from the bleachers.

'What in the world happened ...... that Mr. Germs said he was the strongest in the country? ......
...... Yeah, you said that.

　Riltana replied to Telestia's question.
　Silk was the only one silent and thinking about something.

　An attendant came out into the arena and cast a recovery spell on Germs, and he was carried straight away on a stretcher (tanka).
　Then the host continued to broadcast from the host.

'Well, ...... the organizers have contacted you. This is the end of everything for today. Take care and have a safe journey home.

　Even the audience, who were not at ease, got up from their seats one by one when the end signal was given, and started to leave for home.
　Just then, the door was opened and Cain came back.

I've been waiting for ...... for a while. I'm not going to be able to get it right.　Are you done ......?

　Cain tilts his head as he sees the audience leave from the noble seat.

''Master Cain, it's late!　I've been through a lot!
'Oh yeah, ...... you missed it. ......

　Cain chuckles and scratches his chin with his fingertips.

'Well, now that the viewing is over, let's head to the next location.

　At the words of the teacher who accompanied them, the students, including Telestia, left their seats.
　A little earlier than planned, but they are supposed to head to the next location.
　Cain walked with the other students to follow the guide. At that moment, Cain was tapped on the shoulder from behind, and he turned around.
　There - with a smile on his face, Silk was standing there.

''Silk, what's wrong?''

　Silk smiled at those words and put his face close to Cain's ear.

'You're the ---- Cain-kun from earlier, right?　Teres and the others aren't aware of it, though. Let me know later.

　With a single word, he runs to Telestia.

'...... How did you find out ......?'

　Stunned, Cain stood there until he was approached by an attendant.
