Lead the other world.

Walnut woke up. Takumi and Citrus finished patrol security without a thing at night, and when he got home early in the morning, Takumi noticed two figures standing in front of the house.

"That's..."

As Takumi and the others got closer to home, the two of them noticed Takumi and the others in front of the house.

"Yo."

"I'm sorry about the morning."

There were two people in front of the house: an alus with a serious expression unlike usual and a cherry blossom with a sad expression.

And Ars looked sideways at the citrus vegetables in the sky somewhere above next to the approaching Takumi.

"Takumi, can I have a moment after this? And Citrus, give Cherry Blossoms home."

Citrus, which was the sky above, finally returned to me in the voice of Ars, taking cherry blossoms into the house.

Takumi looked toward Ars and asked, confirming that the two of them were going into the house.

"So... what's going on?

Ars answered casually when he saw Takumi, who had a neighborhood under his eyes and was clearly sleepless.

"Why don't you walk a little?

Whoa, whoa.

Ars and Takumi lowered their hips on the steps leading up to the sandy beach along the coast.

Takumi narrowed her eyes as the scent of the tide tickled her nostrils and the sun's light reflected on the sea level.

"So... what's going on?

"Well, that's it. A little bit about the culprit in this case..."

Yes, Takumi stood up and spoke unexpectedly to the words of Ars, who shrugged looking out at the sea.

"You know something!?

"Uh already. Calm down."

"Sorry......"

"Takumi, you know what a demon general is, right?

"Sort of... I fought once. Well, I don't remember much."

Then when he heard about Takumi, Ars spoke without looking at Takumi's face.

"It's the killer... That's the hand of the Warlord."

"What?"

"Me and Cherry Blossom checked the crime scene... This was the crime scene."

With that said, Ars explored his pockets and took out some thin, glowing black objects.

"What's that?

"This is part of a treasure ball that can only be made by a high-ranking demon clan. They can put magic into it like some sort of spell. It seems that magic symbols can only be used in the person with magic, but this is a contract with the person with magic, and I, the servant, can also use it."

"So, but... You're not necessarily a demon general, are you? And how do you know that?

Ars exhaled one thing.

"Takumi. Did you know you were being watched by the Demon General?

"Huh...? Me?"

"The leader of my party said you'd be pretty wary about one of the defensive fights in Astrea... Well, I'm asking Takumi to escort you."

Although Takumi was suddenly confused by all the things he said, he had one thing figured out.

"Bye...... Bye. The killer also appeared in Yamato... Shino and Walnut got hurt too... you mean because of me..."

Ars did not affirm or deny Takumi, who shuddered so with a blue-faced, shivering voice, and stood silently and slapped Takumi's shoulder and stood up.

"I know I regret it, but don't try to run it alone. This is gonna be too much trouble for everyone. And I'm gonna keep you under constant surveillance, and I'm gonna help you if the killer shows up. And uh-"

Ars turned his back on Takumi and walked out.

"- Keep it in perfect condition. I can't laugh at the lack of sleep or anything. Besides, it's probably not going to be a glimmer."

And Takumi, who was left behind when Ars walked away, quietly burned his fighting spirit into battle with the killer, who would be at the forefront of the Demon General while looking out at the sea in the early morning.
