Hmm. Oh, trouble.

　Quartz says something like that.

'I suppose. I'm already starting to get pushed. Why don't you just quietly surrender?

　I say to such quotations.

　With the entry of the Weyla Empire into the war, the battle lines have quickly turned to the disadvantage of the demon race.

　Each of the commander's classes are mixed in with the six demon generals in the battle. Still, it seems that it is still a difficult enemy, and Kåñëa and the others are still fighting.

''Huh-ha, not true.''

No?

I'm talking about you, hominid.

　Not the battle situation, but me.

　Just looking at me, Quartz said.

"You were either inspired by Frau Ailey or paid by her to do so, weren't you?

FrauFew ......?

Okay. So it's the nickname. Does that make sense if I call you Fury?

Yeah, I know who that is. That's my client.

　Quotes nodded at my answer. Then I looked up at the sky with a thoughtful look on my face for a while.

I'm not sure. What do you think?

'That's not possible because the guild's rules forbid it.

'Ban ...... ban. Then we'll give you the territory. Get your hands on a piece of the demon race, human race.

I'm not interested in territories either.

Why?

　Quartz says.

　...... Why?

'Because I can't imagine it. I've been in a fiercer environment than I am now. When I came out of it, it blew my mind. It was because I knew it would be a better environment.

'So you're suggesting that I don't understand why we'd be better off than we are now?

'I haven't tasted that much knowledge or entertainment yet. So I'm not interested in that right now.

"...... Huh. Does it look like you don't have greed, when in fact you just can't see the bottom of it?

　Words like that, like they were looking at me.

　Then, as if resigned, Quartz continued.

He continued, "I guess this is the wrong time. If I don't pull you out, we've lost this battle.

　Is that because it's him?

Have you seen the future?

'I can only see a few minutes away. And I read numerous patterns.

......

　How to breathe.

　How you move your feet.

　How do you move your arms?

　How to make them eat magic.

　How to make them hurt.

　How do you give them death?

"-- all of which I'm losing. Every one of them in seconds, tens of seconds.

　That's why he didn't seem to blow the battle.

　They had no choice but to negotiate and get me on their side.

"Then you knew my answer.

'There are many conditions under which I can see the future. For example, it has to be something I want to predict, and so on. It's not a panacea.

　Does that mean he didn't want to think about what would happen if he didn't pull me out?

　No, or did you want to hear that too, knowing that.

"All troops, stand down!

　Quotes shouted loudly.

　The guys who heard this gave him a wide variety of looks, frustrated and happy. The Quotes that were in front of them are also retreating as they retreat.

　The Weyla Empire is definitely destroying its defeated soldiers.

　It is also relentlessly--''

"Hmm. I'm sure you'll be the one to defeat him. Jade.

　Ruina called out to me from behind.

　She is still standing with a single core behavior.

''I've been surrendered.

They know. Otherwise, there's no reason for them to leave.

I look like I'm getting a lot of credit for this.

Yeah, because I love you. It can't be anything but overrated.

　...... I see.

　That's insanely embarrassing.

　My mind floats fluffy. I even got that feeling.

"It's more than that. Why did Ruina and the Weiler Empire come here?

Riff told me. 'You might be able to get the demon territory now.'

　It's probably about the war between me, Fury, and the guild's A-rank adventurers and the Quotes' side.

　We're working to take the vacant Youssef territory.

Wouldn't ...... be fighting me as well?

Hmm. No, I won't take this place. I'm not going to die trying to make an enemy out of Zied.

So where can I find ...... oh, yeah?

　Speaking of which, I was chasing an army of Quotes to their death earlier.

　I'm sure that's it.

''That's right. One of the Quartz territories has already fallen into our hands. We're in the middle of a military operation for one more.

　'Taking advantage of the confusion, huh?

''It's quite disturbing, isn't it? The humans and the demons must have a truce.

This time, it's not just the Weira Empire's army that's here. It's a mixed army.

"Is the human race going to war?

Momentum is building, that's all.

　Louina smiles wryly.

　Who is building up that momentum?

'Ah!　Empress!

　A person who's been mixed up in my conversations with Ruina.

　It's Sheila.

　She comes towards us, quite battered and zunned.

''Oh, well, aren't these the people who broke my personal solicitation?

　There were also Kåñëa and Phil.

　In light of Luina's lines, Phil must have been recruited before, too. I'm sure Soria has as well.

　The Saint and the Swordsman are so high in name value alone.

''Unnu!　Jade, you haven't forgotten about this!

　Sheila asks suddenly.

　That's the intensity of her tone, conscious of Ruina.

　But

"'You haven't forgotten!' ' means ...... what are you talking about?

'If I pass this test!　Kisu!　It means you'll do it!

Oh, yeah, yeah, that ...... thing.

"Kiki, kiki, kiss?　What's so disgusting about it?　Did you guys promise me that?

　Phil asks, flustered.

"Mm-hmm. That's funny. Rewards are important, and you know it.

　Louina says.

　That sounds interesting, too.

　But from Sheila's point of view, the reaction was boring and she puffed out her cheeks.

'Because you're not the only one!　Zied is going to kiss me too!

'Kukuku ...... I see. You're irresistible, aren't you?　Zied.

...... with pleasure.

　It's difficult to react.

　Suddenly Ruina looked at Kåñëa.

'Did Kåñëa promise you too?'

.......

Don't be embarrassed. I've told you. Rewards are important. You'll get motivated and you'll feel invigorated.

Hooray for a reward!　Kissing is not a thing: ......!

　Suddenly, he met eyes with Kåñëa.

　She blushed and turned away.

　Then Ruina gave chase.

''You decided to follow Jide until he refused my invitation, didn't you?　You'd be foolish to pass up the opportunity.

......

　Kåñëa's face turns even redder than the ripe color of tomatoes and apples.

　Then he looked at me as if he was ready.

'...... Jide. Wah, wah, wah ...... me too ............!

　Then there was a pause.

　Kåñëa made him shake his clenched fist, with so much force that his bitten lip turned purple.

　The words didn't seem to come out well, either out of shame or pride.

　It was heartbreaking to watch.

'-- oh, I hope not; let's get S-ranked and kiss you.'

!

　Kuena's eyes moistened for a moment.

　Then, without spinning a word, she quickly headed off with her sword.

　I'm not sure if this is the result of her own courage.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

　Sheila glared at Ruina.

　Then she opened further.

'So whoever passes the test gets to kiss Jide!　I'm never going to lose, though!

Wait, wait!　That includes me?　Duh, duh, no. You can't be so insolent when Lady Thoria is here: ......!

　Phil starts to have some misunderstandings about Sheila's words. Who the hell is this guy?

　And Sheila followed Kåñëa too. Phil also ran out towards the back of it, and on the way he took a maiden glimpse in my direction. What's that gap? What the hell is this guy.

I'm going to go with Fury to the castle quickly ...... that. Where did he go?

　I look around.

　But there's no sign of Fury.

　Come to think of it, in the midst of the fight with Quartz - or rather, I'm looking at it - I didn't see him once.

I'd be right here.

　With that, Fury appeared in response.

　He was accompanied by a number of demons who wore an exceptional atmosphere.

Hey, Jide-kun. "Hey, Jide-kun, will you be the Demon King--

　Point those words at me.

　How many times am I going to be recruited?
