Chapter 7

Although at a glance it was scenic and picturesque, Hanakawa Daiular city

It was supposed to be the lowest level of hell, but for some reason, he had found hiht co with people Despite this, however, he still wasn’t able to get any peace offrom the inhabitants of the city

They were, in soave off the impression of puppets It wasn’t too peculiar if you focused on theave off a far more bizarre atmosphere

None of them ever interacted with one another

There were those walking to and fro There were shopkeepers readily inviting custo elaborate de their own duties, yet, to Hanakawa, none of thehtly interested in the actions of the people around thee of this town practically radiated a shady aura of her own She was supposed to be a Devil, sealed away deep within this hellscape, but so about as she pleased

The Devil, Mana The younger sister of the Devil, Albagar beside Hanakawa, had come all this way to meet with her

Back when Hanakawa had firstboy, but noas in the fore his outward appearance as he willed

But despite having finally met up with Mana, Lute seemed depressed in some respects

Usually, he would taunt Hanakaith various death-based threats, but now, his sunken expression had become even more pronounced

So far, no matter the circumstances, he had never seemed this serious, but, as one would expect, the current situation had gotten so hopeless that it had deeply affected his psyche

Hanakawa didn’t feel like he’d make it out of here alive at all Even if he tried to escape, he was in the lowest level of hell, and he had no idea how he had gotten here in the first place Moreover, he hardly knew anything about hell at all

In other words, it was impossible for him to escape from this place on his own There see for the opportunity to attack a huo search for a way out

While it ht he’d be safe for er As Hanakawa moved further into the city, an ominous prean to grow stronger and stronger

He felt as though he had to think of some way to break out of the deadlock he had found hi hih would co Lute

However, Lute didn’t care, and furthermore, he had no reason to leave in the first place

In which case, asking Mana was another option, but not one he illing to take He didn’t feel like he could get through to her in the slightest It was his style to confuse people with inco them to understand him, but he couldn’t help but think that Mana wouldn’t pay hiet naked or to shi+t where she stood

-Why did this even happen to begin with…

Even when he reflected on if he should’vehell, it was clear that he wouldn’t have been able to escape froed around by Aoi, and it wasn’t possible to escape from her either

And even before that, he had been the slave of a stray sage living out a slow life fantasy within a forest of ht about it, he realized that his realfro to do whatever he wanted

-No, that wasn’t the real mistake, per se In the first place, it was really when I ith the rest of the class and they decided to leave him behind as bait

The problem was that, as they had set out to do whatever they wanted, the first person they cairi

Hanakaas here now because he had gotten involved with Yogiri in the first place He had survived a hostile encounter with Yogiri, and that gave Hanakawa value beyond i you to a place like this” (Lute)

As Hanakaas silently thinking about all of this, Lute quietly et the feeling that Lute-dono has said so ad I said I was sorry” (Lute)

“C-could you please refrain!? I’ here, so it’ll be troublesos!” (Hanakawa)

“What are you getting at?” (Lute)

“Enough! It’s an omen of death when the villain reforhtest bit of compassion!” (Hanakawa)

“An omen, is it? Well, that’s probably correct I’ll likely be killed by Mansa after this” (Lute)

“W-what!?” (Hanakawa)

“I helplessly let iveyou could’ve done, right? I think he was dead before you removed the seal” (Hanakawa)

“Do you really think that explanation would be enough for her?”

Lute notioned to Mana alking ahead of the two of the love for her older brother aside, she was an abnorive birth to his children with an i Hanakawa couldn’t even hope to understand

“…Well, I don’t feel like it’d be enough to get through to her… but! You still haven’t told her about Devil-sae for his death is the only reason we came here in the first place Furtherh to her with lies and deception? She’d alh them if it has to do with ht! That is e’re here!” (Hanakawa)

“I’ll give you this” (Lute)

With this, Lute took so out of his breast pocket It was a rod-like object with a long, coolden color It hat Lute had referred to as the key to Mana’s seal

“Eh, but, that’s a super important item, isn’t it? It’d be ridiculous to waste it on the likes ofas you have this, Mansama shouldn’t be able to kill you After all, the one who holds this key should be seen as the one representing the will of my lord” (Lute)

“Eh? Then wouldn’t it be better if you held onto it, Lute-dono? Though, well, don’t take that to !” (Hanakawa)

“She’ll kill me either way, even if I have it, but who knohat’ll happen to you Even though I’ve resigned ht need to make it up to you” (Lute)

“Ueance with your own eyes? Takatō aside, you still need to uys from the tower, don’t you?” (Hanakawa)

“Once Mansama learns of my lord’s death, that will almost certainly happen either way There’s no way she would spare a single person involved” (Lute)

“Ahaha, wouldn’t I be included in that?” (Hanakawa)

Hanakawa used the opportunity to insert a bit of a joke, yet Lute sank into silence

“Woah oah! Hold on one minute! I was alht!? I was dragged along by that sage, Aoi-dono, and we only arrived after the whole thing had ended! I had absolutely nothing to do with Devil-sareat if that explanation ends up being enough for her, but…” (Lute)

“So you’re saying it h for her!?” (Hanakawa)

“In any case, this key will help you It should be enough to guarantee your safety My own goal here can be fulfilled by telling Mansama about what happened” (Lute)

“Does this key reallythen…? She’s supposed to be sealed and yet, she’s easily walking around outside without a care in the world…” (Hanakawa)

Imposed upon by Lute, Hanakawa reluctantly accepted the key

“Wonderful Traveling with you wasn’t exactly terrible The experience was a first forlike that! It’s like you’re tripping s!” (Hanakawa)

Mana, as cheerfully walking ahead of the duo, didn’t appear to be listening to the details of their conversation at all

After walking for a while, a white palace-like building ca in the city, and probably their final destination

Darkness surrounded them as they entered the palace, but Hanakawa noticed a heht deeper within

Mana effortlessly walked through thethe hemisphere and proant bed within

“Uhest seal, made by my Onii-sama He made it with every last bit of his power, just to keep me safe!” (Mana)
