If she was to fail this mission, there would be no hereafters for her

As a spiritualist that surrendered to the demons, she would carry shame with her As a spiritualist of the Buryuuser, only that she needed to avoid at all costs Popii silently fixed the position of the violin bow Putting the tip of the gourd shaped instru it She was telling herself to concentrate(TL note: Violin bow is that stick that is used to rub at the strings I didn´t knoas called like that until I googled it actually”

“This is ood tunes”

Theodour was spitting out words that sounded like self-praise The red haired de those words were suspicious However, this was not the place to be worrying about her gaze Popii quietly lowered her head

“Thank you very much”

As long as she played it with her whole body and spirit, it would be fine

And then, after all this was finished, it would be the beginning of her new self Thinking about Rook´s face, she put the bow onto the five strings

“Noill begin

Using the violin bow to play the instrument, a pleasant sound reverberated Popii heard so she was prideful of, but she had knowledge of how to captivate people le sound, she had the hold of the hearts of everyone gathered there Even if it was for only a ht the heart of the person listening to it, the rest was easy She should now infuse her attribute into the delicate sounds The sound that invaded the defenseless ears would arrive directly to the brain And then, whether it was a demon or a human, it would enchant their consciousness and induce them into a deep sleep

Theodour was loudly snoring, the cow de with heroff Besides that, the red haired dehtest athered here all had their eyelids closed Lying her instruround, she calmly came closer to the one that seemed to be the most powerful of them, the red haired demon She moved her hand to the silver colored sword that was at that demon´s waist

“Now… With that, all I need is to take the head of these guys, and then…”

All this would be over

Putting her hand at the handle of the sword, she was about to draw it It was at that instant Moving like a snake, the arm of the red haired demon wrapped around her neck Popii tried to release herself from the deth Instead, she increased the forceher

“Wh…Why?”

Why was the de able to properly breath, she was roughly breathing through herbecame troublesome Her consciousness started to become white In contrast to Popii, as in confusion, the red haired de
