That's right. That's right. If that's possible, I'd like you to help me bring back some of the demons I've killed in the form of cultivation.

We are puzzled by Mr. Ferrid who asks us to bow our heads.

Of course it's possible. Why would Mr. Ferrid ask me to grow the monster he says he killed?

When we asked him about it, he looked down, his eyes downcast and somewhat sad.

You're right. ...... That's right. If you're going to ask me to do this kind of thing, you should tell me all about it, right?

Says Felid, muttering to himself.

”The monster's name is SS-rank Bahamut. She was like a mother and sister to me, the monster I killed.

”............

Far away in the forest, Tsurugi is alone and pondering.

Her goal is to kill Luna.

She has lived for a long time just for that.

This is a role only she can play.

And if she doesn't fulfill it, the final evolution of this world will not be possible.

For the sake of her own role and, above all, for the sake of those who are important to her, Luna must be killed.

And as a result, no matter what anyone thinks of her.

She should have had that much determination, but there was a slight hesitation.

It wasn't because she had been thwarted by FERRID.

It was because she saw Kyou who was desperate to protect Luna.

The moment Tsurugi saw Luna above all, he secretly felt a slight hesitation in himself.

...... I'm sweet too. I have to be more ruthless to achieve my goal.

Even if it means hurting Kyou or someone else.

But Tsurugi dismissed his inability to muster that much determination as naivete and weakness.

”You look troubled. ”Silver Shadow Hero, Tsurugi-san.”

Tsurugi turned around at the sound of his voice. It was an unexpected person.

...... You are...

If you need help, I can help you with that?

He laughed at this creepy young man with a creepy smile plastered on his face.

Tsurugi quietly muttered his name.

What's the ploy of an SS-ranked demon to help me?　”'Snake', no, Azi Dahaka.

The young man who was called by name stood quietly, with an eerie smile on his face.
