Chapter 433: Theyre Certainly Family (1/2)

As the story was interrupted by the intrusion of an idiot, I turned to Lillywood-san to ask her to resume the story.

[……Ummm~~ Kaito-san, why am I being made to sit in a ”seiza”?]

[If you keep on interrupting, the story won't go anywhere at all, so just stay there and keep quiet.]

[You haven't really been treating Alice-chan well these days, don't you think? Alice-chan is your cutie, cute, cute lover, you know? I think it would be better if you pampered me more! Or rather, please pamper me more! Please give me a hug!]

[……I'm sorry for that, Lillywood-san. Please continue.]

[You're ignoring me!?]

The story really wasn't making any progress at all, so I just left the idiot at the side and asked Lillywood-san to continue.

Lillywood-san gave an astounded look at Alice, who was making a fuss even while sitting in a seiza, before nodding once and resuming her story.

”Well then, let's go back to the story…… But before that, let me say this for Shalltear's honor…… The 70% of High-ranking Demons that she erased were all those who acted unruly, using their power as a shield. They were like the pus of the Demon Realm, tormenting and killing good and powerless Demons, so I think she acted with a certain amount of thought.”

[……I see.]

Well, to be honest, I haven't had any doubts regarding that from the beginning. There certainly were times where Alice emotionlessly acted upon something, but she wasn't the kind of person who would kill innocent people indiscriminately. I had some faith in her regarding that.

[Here! Here! Objection!]

”……What is it? Shalltear.”

[Lillywood-san…… You don't really have to mind the idiot, you know?]

”My apologies.”

The gentle Lillywood-san couldn't ignore the idiot who raised her hand to advocate herself, and reflexively replied.

I wondered if she was going to interrupt the conversation again, but I turned to Alice to ask her what she wanted anyway.

[This is very important, so I'll say this…… I only erased ”60%” of them! The other 10% was erased by ”Pandora”.]

[Eh? Pandora-san did?]

[Yes, well, Pandora, you see…… As I was dealing with a scum who kidnapped people who they had their eyes on and repeatedly conducted perverted experiments on them, I picked her up by chance~~ Then, I raised her! Howe—-ver, I don't know what went wrong, but when we conduct the search and investigation of scum Demons, she would torture them so much that ”they would beg to be killed”, and after that, as we were conducting erasure and destruction missions, she grew up having a ”peculiar fetish” before I knew it……]

The heck was that, that sounds really disturbing, you know!? Just when I was thinking that Pandora-san had a painful past, such thoughts were immediately scattered by the latter half of your story, you know!?

[Not only did she become loyal in a strange way, she's ”extremely sadistic, but at the same time, she's freaking masochistic to certain people”…… She would even watch me sometimes as I was being scolded by Kaito-san, ”with her fingers in her mouth, drooling”.]

[That's something that I didn't want to know! Eh? I mean, I'm also within that certain people!?]

[Incidentally, after yesterday's festival…… She even told me ”The moment when Miyama-sama stared at the disgraceful me while I was disciplining that foolish beast was the best”…… Her face completely looked like a woman in heat!]

[What the heck is going on in her head!?]

She's dangerous, Pandora-san, I mean. She's quite the intense one. Perhaps, was she thinking ”For him to scold my absolute superior Shalltear-sama…… I wish he could scold me too” or something like that? If that's the case, I'm going to acknowledge her now as the most fearsome person in the world, right up there, next to Eden-san!!!

”W- Well, let's just put that aside……”

[No, no……]

”……Please do your best.”

[Could you please stop with the unpleasant cheering!?]

When I hung my head while shuddering at such thoughts, Lillywood-san put in an unpleasant follow-up before resuming the story.

”……Well, I also recognize Shalltear's skills and achievements in bringing order to the Demon Realm. Although I was a bit dissatisfied with being given the title of being one of the Six Kings without my permission, I rather liked the situation where the weak weren't oppressed.”
