Chapter 357 "Confrontation" (2/2)
The scene of a flashy battle occurred as they charged head-on. For those who witnessed this, they might be tempted to look away from the “one who isn’t fighting”.
As if to weave through the gaps between the battles, little by little, Kaito steadily advanced towards the ward’s wall.
Although Kaito wasn’t very athletic, the fact that he had been running with Hina on a regular basis had helped, and he had been able to run a considerable distance.
But of course, it was impossible for him to deceive the eyes of all the Demons, and there were occasionally Demons who noticed and tried to stop him…… but they were obstructed by arrows flying from the rear.
[I won’t let you get in Kaitokun-san’s way!]
Razelia, an expert marksman, was keeping those who were approaching Kaito in check……

[Whoa there, we’re also here……]
[—and it would be troubling if you forgot about us!]
With Acht and Eval following him, Kaito was making more and more progress towards the ward’s wall.
It wasn’t long ago that the battling parties were somewhat evenly matched, but now, the tempo of the battle was being completely controlled by Kaito’s side.
So, it was inevitable that they were able to steadily advance.
[Just a few more meters……]
[O- Oh no! Somebody stop Miyama-dono……]
[Do you have the time to look away?]
[Guohhh!?]

Kaito would soon reach the ward’s wall. Sechs noticed this and rushed to give instructions, but Shea didn’t let him and struck Sechs with her scythe.
At the same time, she also restrained the other 5 Earl-level, High-ranking Demons and pressured them to prevent them from reaching Kaito.
And just like that, no one was able to stop Kaito. When Kaito finally reached the ward’s wall, he turned around and held out his hand.
[Neun-san!]
[Yes! Laguna, I’ll leave the rest to you!]
[Leave it to me!]
When Neun called out to Laguna, she told Laguna that she would leave the situation to her and immediately ran to Kaito and firmly grasped his held out hand.
Holding Neun’s hand, Kaito reached his other hand out towards the ward’s wall.
When Kaito touched the ward, it didn’t block “Kaito and the beings in contact with him”, and after feeling like they passed through a thin veil of water, Kaito and Neun escaped the ward.

When they passed through the ward, they found themselves right next to the church door. Kaito and Neun stopped once and looked at each other. After giving each other a nod, they put their hands on the church door.
Along with a scraping sound, the large wooden door opened.
The woman Kaito and Neun were looking for…… Vier was standing in front of the altar.
Illuminated by the multi-colored light from the stained glass, Vier slowly turned around to face the two visitors.
The figure standing at the altar with her back to the light was filled with solemnity, and the thin smile on her face could even be described as melancholic.
[……Welcome, you two. Fufufu, this reminds me of my time as the Demon Lord.]
[………………..]
[………………..]
[Thank you for coming. I’m really glad you came…… but I’m sorry. I’m sure I won’t be able to respond to your feelings.]

Vier looked at them with a sad smile on her face. She knew all about what Kaito and Neun had come here for but…
Even though they know that…… She was going to reject their proposal.
[That’s why…… Could you please leave?]
Vier appears in a church, illuminated with lights and cool background music. She isn’t the last boss, but she has the atmosphere of a last boss. She isn’t really the last boss though……
The long and serious Vier arc is almost over, and from on, it’s time for the sweet Six Kings Festival…… or rather, the six consecutive dates.
P.R. note: I hope Shiro and Kaito share the room at the top of the tower o///////o.
