Beleth''s POV


    -Farah...


    The moment I see my dear Farah on the bed, I want to run to her side and hug her. If not for the maid who keeps glaring at me, I would do that already. I turn to the maid and ask her.


    -Can I get closer to Farah?


    The maid sighs and answers me.


    -You can, but do not get too close to her.


    I nod and walk to Farah''s side.


    -Suu...suuu~


    I can feel her breath by standing this close to her. While looking at her, I pray master will wake up soon. The moment I try to reach my hand to pat Farah''s head, the maid behind me immediately speaks up.


    -You are too close to the master.


    -Tchhh!


    I can''t help but retract my hand and continue watching Farah''s sleeping face from afar.


    -Hey, Hana?


    -Huh?


    -Why are you so strict with that girl?


    The maid reaches out and grabs the girl''s head.


    -Arghhh! It hurts! Release me.


    -Because some bug like you suddenly pop out of nowhere and attach to our master.


    -You are going to crush my head at this rate, Hana. Please release me!


    -You can''t die, anyway.


    -No, I can!


    I ignore two of them and secretly pat Farah''s head.


    -Myuuuu~


    My Farah is cute as always. I want to play with her head for a little longer. But I think I will stop here since the maid had finished quarrel with the girl and glared at me.


    -You should take your hand off my master.


    -...Fine.


    I reluctantly put my hand off Farah''s head.


    -It''s almost one hour now, miss Beleth. You should go back to not make your friend worry.


    -Alright.


    Before I leave the room, I give Farah a last glance.


    -Please wake up soon, Farah.


    The maid is still glaring at me. But somehow, I can feel her glance become softer compared to before. I wonder why?


    I go along with the girl and get out of the building.


    -Hey?


    The girl calls out to me with a smiling face.


    -You know there is nothing free in this life, right?


    -...


    Hah, of course, this girl will demand something in return for her favour. I angrily glare at her.


    -What do you want?


    -Oh my.


    -I merely want a simple thing from you guys. Not just you, but from all demonesses.


    I became cautious and listened to her demand.


    -What do you want?


    The girl takes out an envelope from her pocket and gives it to me.


    -You will find out my demand once you have read this letter to others.


    -Alright! We will consider it after we read it.


    The girl creates a mist door and tells me to pass through it.


    -You can return to your friend''s place through this door.


    -Okay.


    Before I went through the door, I could hear her voice.


    -Consider it carefully since it relates to the future of your master.


    I try to turn around and ask the mean of her statement. However, the mist door was already closed when I turned around.


    -Beleth?


    -Ah, Stolas...


    -Did you find the master, Beleth?


    I nod and answer her.


    -I found her, Stolas.


    Stolas immediately reaches out to me and shakes my body.


    -Why didn''t you bring her back, Beleth?


    -Ca...lm down, Stolas. Let me explain first!


    -Fine...


    I explain to her slowly about Farah''s situation.


    -So she is being protected by her acquaintance.


    -Yup.


    Stolas relaxed her body once she finished hearing my explanation.


    -Hah, so master is safe after all.


    -Right.


    I took out the envelope that girl gave me.


    -And she wants something from us. Not just you and me, but all the demonesses.


    Stolas'' face becomes serious while staring at the envelope.


    -What could it be?


    I open the envelope and find out a letter inside. I take it out and read it.


    -...


    -Beleth?


    -Stolas! Call everyone!


    The content of the letter is about a proposal coming from the girl. It could change everything when we demonesses decide to accept it.

    After Industria took Beleth back to the camp, she arrived at the tent where Jormungandr rested.


    -Who?


    Jormungandr seems to be Industria''s presence. She raises her body from the mat and turns in Industria''s direction.


    -Are you here to finish the weakened me?


    Jormungandr sneer at Industria.


    -I can still bring you down with me even if I have to die here.


    Industria smiles and replies to her.


    -I won''t harm you, miss Jormungandr.


    Industria takes out another envelope and throws it at Jormungandr.


    -Hmmm?


    Jormungandr catches the envelope and reads the letter inside.


    -Hoh! Interesting.


    -...


    -I won''t give you an answer now, though. It''s not something that simple to give you the answer right away.


    Industria turns her back to Jormungandr and creates a mist gate.


    -I will wait for your answer, miss Jormungandr.
