“Hey… what do you think about it, Yug, Zeal?”

In the end, I couldn’t decide what to do before I left. And now I’m taking a bath to stall for time.

“You finally asked us!┘\

“I’ve been waiting for you to ask me.┘\

“I’m sorry.”

For some reason, the more important things are, the more I think about them on my own, even though I have someone right beside me to talk to. I need to fix this bad habit.

“So what do you two think?”

It’s a pretty outlandish question, but these two will understand what I’m trying to say.

“First of all, please listen to this.”

“Yes…”

Zeal began to speak with a much more serious atmosphere than usual.

“The demons are more like reincarnation of monsters.”

“Yes.”

“No matter how intelligent they are, demons can never contract with spirits.”

“Huh!?”

Wait a minute. In that way, if I evolved into a demon…

“It’s as you predicted, but if you evolve into a demon, your contract with us will be cancelled in all likelihood. And once the contract has been cancelled, it will never come back.”

“……”

I see… if I evolve into a demon, will my spirit magic become unusable?

“Selfishly speaking, I don’t want you to evolve into a demon, Zero. I still want to be with you… I want you to use me too…”

“Ahahaha!”

“Zero-kun?┘\

“Zero?┘\

The two of them were surprised to see me suddenly start laughing. But I couldn’t help but laugh. I should have consulted them from the beginning. If I had, I wouldn’t have had to worry about it at all.

“Okay! Let’s get out of the bath! I’m going to have to consult with those three and have a meeting about how to fight off that demon as soon as possible!”

“Zero-kun…┘\

“Zero!┘\

Let’s say that there’s an evolution destination where the status is tens of times higher without any disadvantages such as murderous impulses like demons. I’ve been indebted to Yug and Zeal for a lot. I’m not going to stop using them just because a better evolver came along! I can’t say goodbye!

“Zeros-sama…”

“Sorry to keep you waiting. I’ll tell you what happened on my way home today.”

When I got out of the bath and went to my room, the three of them were already gathered there looking anxious. I immediately told them in detail what had happened so as not to cause them any more anxiety.

“”Zeros-sama: ……””

When I finished speaking, the three of them looked at me with concern. Well…I guess I’ve only told them what happened today. And now I’m going to tell them what I want to do.

“I have no intention of evolving into a demon. Of course I’m not going to follow the demon that came here today. But I’ll never be able to defeat her on my own. So I need your help.”

Finally, I bowed my head deeply. I think I’m being too selfish when I say this. It’s like saying “I don’t want to become a demon, so please protect me!” . I don’t know how the three of them will react since I have my head down. This made me feel a little uneasy, so I raised my head little by little.

“…Eh? Hey!”

When I raised my head and looked at the three of them, I saw that they were all about to cry. Why?

“Zeros-sama relied on us…”

“Huh?”

Emily answered as if representing the feelings of the three of them.

“So, should Tiya and the others kill the demon?”

“Oh, but maybe this time there will be more than one…”

She had never said that she would come alone next time. If she really wanted to take me away, it’ll be better to come with more than one person.

“If that’s the case, should we annihilate the whole demons that’ll come?”

“Well, yeah, I guess…”

Somehow, these three are so enthusiastic that I, who was the party pulls back a little.

“Zeros-sama, may I ask you a question?”

“Go ahead.”

I think Emily’s language has become more respectful lately. But it’ll be out of place to interrupt her, so let’s hear what she has to say.

“The hairstyle of the demon that appeared was short bob, the back was from the later half of 150 to the first half of 160 and her first person was not watashi {TN: Female version of me}?”

“…that’s right.”

She knows so much about her that I’m sure she has met her before.

“…I’m sure that demon is the same demon that came for the dragon demon.”

“Eh? Oh, maybe…”

To my surprise, she called herself the chief of demons. Then it wouldn’t be strange if she came to help demons who are in a pinch.

“So let’s have a strategy meeting.”

And that’s when the strategy meeting about what to do with the demon tribe began in earnest.
