Grimoire x Reverse – Chapter 5

With my whole body draped in animal skins and with my black hair, two twisting horns, and sharp golden eyes without any motivation, I do not look the least bit trustworthy.

Probably echo? No, I am. (こだまでしょうか、いいえ、わたしです)

“Has that G.o.ddess hidden something from me until the very end? If she waits until the last moment to reveal she is actually a perverted man, then D*mn her behavior.” (MC) (「っつーかあの女神め、最後の最後に地雷隠し持ちやがって。えっちな行為に臨む直前で性別男だと暴露されたようなもんじゃねえかちくしょう」)

I am a demon.

Distinguis.h.i.+ng between the monsters there are those with intelligence and/or form closer to human beings called demons. Speaking of which, the atmosphere of this world’s setting include multiple categories of monsters and demons without intelligence. The demonic races who are most likely to speak the language are those who can interact with humans.

Then there is the monster weapon Demon Slayer.

Worst of all, there is the incorporation of the mysterious pearl pieces.

However, even though I do not know if it is the effect of the pearl pieces, it is refres.h.i.+ng to kill a monster in one blow. Although I am unaware of how much stronger I’ve become, would it not be fine to see what I can do? Was that what the G.o.ddess was saying? I’ll lose when I believe the words from such a person. Surely. Among other things, if the 15 pieces turns out to be a lie…I wish it were a lie. If it turns out the story is true and I have to fight the boss of the army of demon soldiers, I might die even if I fight seriously.

“…Pearl pieces, I get the feeling I’d better quickly get a hold of them!” (MC)

The next day was sunny.
