Prologue As the hands around his neck tightened, Kaito Sena mused on how predictable this outcome was. In fact, it was a miracle that he had lived this long in the first place. His right arm was covered in shallow lacerations, his left arm unmoving and stained dark red. His ankle had been twisted at an odd angle a few ... |
been killed. But he was sure of his answer after seeing that disturbing pile of corpses. Then there were the bloodthirsty chants that had been directed at her, plus Elisabeth's sadistic smile, but most of all, it was that she addressed herself as the "Torture Princess." He was afraid he'd made her angry, but for some r... |
"Once one enters Iron Maiden, death does not come quickly." Elisabeth spoke over the horrifying screams, clearly unbothered. Turning toward Kaito, she offered a suggestive smile. "If you insist on dying again, then there's no helping it. I am nothing if not generous, after all, so I will grant your wish. But I will not... |
piece shattered and began raining down upon the chessboard. It then changed into fourteen pieces, all lined up. Amid the crowd of pieces shaped like beasts and men, one wore a crown and was bound by chains. "Fourteen people have formed contracts with fourteen demons. They are ranked—the Knight, the Governor, the Gran... |
the entire population of your fiefdom! You dismembered their bodies, ripped out their still-beating hearts, stitched every orifice in their bodies shut, carved into their bones, melted their flesh, gouged out their eyes, severed their tongues, and when you ran out of ideas, you killed parents and children, the elderly,... |
to react to this revelation. Elisabeth paid Kaito a "humph" as she stepped onto the center of the teleportation circle. "Once we return, do something about dinner. If you can prepare sweets of that caliber, surely you can craft a proper meal. And if you fail to make something decent, it's the Ducking Stool for you." Ka... |
thirty percent of slum dwellers, and in the north, it exceeds forty percent. Visibly pure-blooded demi-humans and beastfolk are generally in the nobility, though, so they're rarely seen in human settlements. Get used to it already. 'Tis a bother for you to gawk at every little thing." "Man...this really is another worl... |
Within the room, a bizarre spectacle spread out before him. The ceiling was extremely high and domed like a cathedral. Its center was decorated with a floral piece of stained glass. But the intricate, kaleidoscopic light it cast was marred by the barbed wire lining the ceiling. The unsettling effect was exacerbated by ... |
dead. If he didn't, he was likely to end up dead himself. He hacked at its guts, knowing full well that it was overkill. Once finished, he turned to the boy, who was cowering in fear on the ground, and raised the bloody ax high. "See, this is how we should be using these weapons." The boy's face scrunched up, and tears... |
to his feet. The spider could be heard tearing into something ravenously. Not wanting to understand what those sounds meant, Kaito charged at the spider. But as he heard the crunch of a collarbone being snapped, his thoughts were painted over with rage and hatred, returning him to a strange state of lucidity. He stoppe... |
audience, I am the scriptwriter, and I am the actor. I have no intention of letting you enjoy yourself in the slightest. I shall make you squeal like a pig and writhe like a caterpillar." After making her grandiose declaration, she swung her sword. Chains appeared out of thin air and traveled to savage the place the Ea... |

I guess I should say that I'm happy and grateful?" "As an aside, the place I call the Treasury is, in truth, a magical spac... |
an enemy. And even if she was an enemy, at least he'd be the only one to fall victim. Also, if he left, there was no guarantee he would ever be able to find his way back here. He would rather regret having saved her than regret not being able to. With all that in mind, Kaito decided to undo her restraints. He checked n... |
it's not broken?" As he peered tentatively at the doll, her eyes snapped open. She tore off the Ducking Stool's leather belts, then leaped over the water tank and landed in front of Kaito. Kaito braced himself for death, and the doll acted. The doll knelt in front of Kaito, sinking to one knee. "Huh?" "I apologize for ... |
of an eye, the unnecessary sections were removed and the meat was cut to the perfect dimensions. As if to ensure that the meat not suffer more damage than necessary, the cuts were all clean and precise. Kaito unwittingly stopped moving as he watched her masterful knife work. It was at that moment that Elisabeth's voice... |
that you, after spending some time with her, would find such things obvious. Now then, would you mind if I asked a few questions about your world? I hear that your world is where machines have progressed further than magic has; is that correct?" "Huh? Oh, yeah. Or rather, magic doesn't really exist in my world at all..... |
down the proposal. Kaito clutched the vial from over his pocket. When he did, the bed creaked. A soft, pleasant aroma drew near him. Kaito could tell what it was without having to open his eyes. Hina was lying down beside him. Kaito sighed, then spoke to her again. "...C'mon, Hina. I really—" "My apologies, Master Ka... |
circle, which should have been connected to the front gate of the Church's main building. The crimson walls around him finished their work and poured down as showers of blood. But after the crimson cleared, he found himself in a dark room made of packed earth. Kaito's eyes widened. This was the small room that connecte... |
they got yanked into the air. Their necks made loud popping sounds as their spines snapped, their respiratory tracts collapsed, and their veins burst. The hoods that had been concealing their faces plopped off. Their faces were made of huge, festering sarcomas. They weren't humans. They were underlings. Their corpses d... |
pick out a single distinct feature. The mysterious figure spoke in a low voice, cold as ice. "We had been discussing transferring the Kaiser to the capital, so his seal was incomplete. Furthermore, Clueless had a talent for currying favor, and as such was able to glean the strictly confidential location where the Kaise... |
so that when the canine struggled to get free, its claws would dig into the survivors. Kaito knit his brows at the appalling scene. Suddenly, one skull slowly looked up from its pile. "...Huh?" "Hmm? What is it, Kaito?" "Look over there." A skeleton was leisurely tilting its neck, its hollow eye sockets trained directl... |
that that make me love you so, young miss!" She shouted in ecstasy, her cheeks reddening. Her breath was heavy, as though she was trying to contain her excitement, and she squeezed on her supple breasts as she hugged herself. Elisabeth took a step back, her face visibly stiffening. Kaito, equally uncomfortable, felt a ... |
killed. Upon seeing the chains rage like a many-headed snake, Hina praised her master's master. "Well done, Lady Elisabeth! I should have expected nothing less. However, this is... Look out! Pardon me, Master Kaito!" "Hwah!" Hina returned to him at top speed, then scooped him up in her arms before taking off again. Not... |
womb, lives, we can make as many as we wish." Upon hearing that, Kaito felt the blood drain from his face. He looked at the baby's mangled corpse. Their being able to produce more of those was a fact he couldn't take lightly. "Now, here is your question. Will Elisabeth kill her? Or will she not?" "If she cannot kill he... |
on his mind. It was unclear if his guard was down or not. Kaito then turned away from the table to check out the room. However, he couldn't make out many details. Any part of the room that was even slightly removed from the candlelight was shrouded in darkness. I can't even tell where the entrance is. That's not good. ... |
this is karma at work... Heh, as the bona fide personification of evil, is it contradictory of me to say that? Well, who cares if it's contradictory? What a pleasant result! Now then, what will you do?" "What will I do...? I mean, he's dead, so..." "What did I just say? I can bring him back and give him to you as a toy... |
gave a light shrug, then lifted his glass. They remained that way as they waited, time seeming to slow to an agonizing crawl. Eventually, the door to the dining room swung open. Two pairs of footsteps drew near, as well as the sound of something being dragged. Kaito peered in the direction of the noise, and his eyes wi... |
concert with his chant, the summoning circle on the ground flickered. As the light grew stronger, the atmosphere in the room began to change. "La (become)— La (traverse)— La (become)— La (return)— La (become)—" The air grew dry and sharp, as if thousands of pieces of glass were flying through it. A formless r... |
Curious, Kaito managed to look. When he did, his jaw dropped, too. Hina was barreling toward them, twirling her halberd like a tornado. The maids rushed to stop her, but she blew them away with such vigor, it made one wonder what had become of her previous listless state. Her cheeks were flush and her eyes were glitter... |
or feasting on steak? No amount of tears that I shed, no amount of regret that I feel will change who I am or what I've done. As such, I have made my choice. I choose to be proud. "I choose to rejoice as I make all the people of this world into my sacrifices. "Why should I weep when I make victims of others? Why should... |
This was the first time Elisabeth had spoken on the matter. That night, after being carried back to the castle, Kaito had confessed that he'd temporarily accepted Vlad's invitation. But Elisabeth had simply treated his wounds, then tossed him into bed. He'd immediately slipped into a comatose state, and Hina had held h... |
of the arrogance so often found among those who possess power surpassing human understanding, he ignored the pealing alarm bells in his head and stayed put. That was a fatal mistake. Now, he was under attack by a peerless sinner: the one person in the world with the power to slaughter demons. The sinner, the judge, the... |
was the very place where the Duke and his victims had died. However, Elisabeth simply scoffed at Kaito's downcast expression. "What are you on about? This land may be forbidden, but the less superstitious members of the townsfolk actually come here to relax quite often... Of course, as a result, they were the first to ... |
somehow alive, just like a soul squirming within a golem. "Elisa—" As he was about to call out to her, Kaito closed his mouth. After hesitating a few moments, he wrapped the stone in a handkerchief and slipped it into his pocket. Then, as if nothing had happened, he turned back around. "It's all right, Lady Elisabeth... |
you know where the demon is?" "Ha! Invading the castle of the Torture Princess is the act of an audacious fool. 'Tis but one place someone like that would choose—as the saying goes, impossible heights are coveted by smoke and the foolhardy alike." Spitting out her declaration, Elisabeth ran down the path lit by the s... |
the people's heads fell from their shoulders. "...Wh—?" Kaito was dumbstruck. As it stood in the middle of the shower of blood, there was no change in the saint's expression. It crossed its arms once more and then spread them out again. As the heads rolled, the noise of the instrument someone had been playing stopped... |
wearing. With her scarlet eyes and dress, she looked like a roaring flame when she laughed. "The Governor's manor is dreadful, isn't it? Don't you think it's a fitting end for that child, dying as a heap of meat in the middle of his own playground? I wanted to crush his heart, which is why I invited you all here. Did y... |
stronger." The Grand King began majestically making her way down the stairs. Like pet dogs, her underlings obediently followed as she pulled on their chains. As the unsettling group finally faded from view, Elisabeth murmured in disgust. "...What a vile woman. However, pursuing her is beyond me. I am quite certainly—... |
Kaito swallowed. He had concluded that Vlad's knowledge of the outside world was limited to what the man himself had experienced up until death. He hadn't expected Vlad to have figured that out. As Kaito frowned, wondering if Vlad had been able to hear even when the stone was cut off from mana, a truly unpleasant smile... |
pocket and set the fruit knife on the floor. Then he roughly wrapped the handkerchief around his hand and tied it off tightly with his teeth. "Master Kaitooo, where are youuuu?!" "I'm coming!" After surveying the room one last time, as if looking for Vlad, Kaito took off at a dash. Behind him, all that was left was a f... |
was already in place, but... Kaito." A bead of sweat ran down Kaito's chin. The next moment, a high-pitched noise like something scraping against glass rang out. Everyone there jumped when they heard the screech. Something white was soaring over the treetops and letting out a grating whine as it flew toward the throne ... |
enemies. And I will protect everything you have. Please believe in me. You have no need to speak of such sad things, for that day shall never come—not for all eternity." Hina laughed, as if to reinforce her point. She let go of Kaito's cheeks, bowed deeply, and then raised her head. She bore the fierce, resolved eyes... |
gone flying and slammed into the wall of a building. The fire had largely gone out in the impact, but the underling was twitching and convulsing nevertheless. Merciless attacks were raining down upon it. "Even! If! Master! Kaito! Himself! Desired! It! Know! That! Being! Beaten! To! Death! Is! A! Light! Punishment! For!... |
lose you, then my life, too, would end. In following, if you deign to think of me, then please believe in me—and no matter what the situation may be, all you must do is tell me either to protect you or to fight together by your side." "Hina—" "That is what it means to be companions. Please, if you must remember not... |
children, scrambling to be the first ones into a domed theater. As the last rat entered, the door closed. Slabs of metal clanged as they barred it and sealed the entrance. "Now then, it's showtime!" Elisabeth spun her pipe in a circle. It transformed into the Executioner's Sword of Frankenthal. As she tapped the tip of... |
your body, but the magic that method will unlock for you is tragically limited. Creating mana itself from the pain of others is far more efficient. In order to do that, you must either consume the meat of a demon...or summon one yourself." Vlad looked at Kaito, gauging his response. However, Kaito offered no answer. Vl... |
onto the crimson sea. Azure flames burned atop the waves. The subjugation of the Grand Earl and Grand Duke was complete. And as for the result of the battle, Kaito and company had lost. 4 Heroine and Lover Ever since he was a child, Kaito Sena had held heroes in disdain. He had learned of the concept during the short p... |
was, her presence was as sinister as ever. "...Fiore, the Grand King." Kaito groaned in a low key. The blood and tallow were stuck especially thick near the mirror's edges, so he couldn't get a good sense of the Grand King's surroundings. However, there appeared to be a great throng of people behind her. He couldn't te... |
have you failed to notice? Good and evil—all the same? What a riot. Evil carries with it retribution. What you try to play off as the truth of the world is naught but your own arrogance." Elisabeth stared straight at the Grand King, her gaze filled with deep, frigid scorn. With her animosity as bare as a wolf's, the ... |
tried to make out who the figure was. However, the image was blurred, as though covered in a layer of fog, and it was difficult to even make out their features. Kaito frantically strained his eyes, knowing that if he could at least make out the front of their neck, he'd probably be able to tell if they were a member of... |
Kaito spoke quietly and bluntly. Godd Deos's reply was a beat late. As one of the heads of the Church, it was a declaration that he could have denied, even if he had to lie. The argument was crude, certainly not something that could be used to cast suspicion on long-standing religious doctrine. Perhaps the reason Godd ... |
was impossible to tell how active the consciousness born within her gears was from the outside. "However, while I could obtain information, I was unable to feel, nor was I able to think. When I was brought into the world, and when I watched those around me get activated and dispassionately serve their masters, I could ... |
not to knock, and then opened the door a hair. He could hear two people sleeping within. He slid into the room to check up on them, being careful not to make a sound. It appeared that the Butcher had dozed off. His face was as hidden as always, but Kaito could make out strands of drool dripping onto the sheets from wit... |
happily, and Kaito stifled a scream. The blood, which had poured down on the summoning circle, breathed fresh energy into its magical glyphs. The two clock hands loudly snapped together. The beasts' howls grew louder. The sound of a door opening rang out from somewhere. The cell door of something that ought not arrive ... |
huh?" He murmured quietly and then forced his body to move. There wasn't so much as an uninjured hair on him. His body was practically skin and bones. Simply breathing sent waves of pain washing over his body. He also couldn't stop convulsing, possibly as a result of dehydration. But none of that mattered to him. He wr... |
and blood trickled down. The wedges dug into him, tearing his flesh. His arms ripped apart as he extended a hand forward, and his legs were severed as he began to walk. As he did—insane as his actions were—he made his promise in a bright, cheery voice. "I'll make sure to protect the promise I made with you, as well... |
man such as that." "Don't you dare mock my groom." Her rejection rang out needle sharp. One of the Grand King's eyebrows twitched. Hina swung down her executioner's ax in front of her. It split through the air and kicked up a gale. Leveling her ax's blade toward the Grand King, Hina spoke quietly. "That kind man told m... |
snapped her arms. Cogwheels and oil tumbled out from her beautiful white skin. "Ah, gah, arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" She had been crafted too delicately, and the fact that she possessed a sense of pain was backfiring. Her body jerked up repeatedly, and her emerald eyes rolled back in her head. The Grand Marquis floate... |
in his mad gamble. Kaito raised his left hand, bristling with demonic energy, and fixed his gaze on the Grand Marquis. Hina, being cradled in his other, squeezed out her voice through her gasps. "Master Kaito...did you merge with a demon? With the Kaiser?" "Nope. But because I didn't have enough mana to even make a con... |
moment? The only one who could hope to defeat the Grand King in that state would be Elisabeth, if she were freed from Sacrifice...so it seems there's little left for me to accomplish here. Best of luck. Go give it your all." "Wait, you're just gonna rile her up and then bail?" Declining to respond to Kaito's exasperate... |
command, the thousand chains wound around the Grand King. Their pointed tips bound her arms, waist, and neck to the ground like wedges. She struggled violently, but the chains refused to break. Elisabeth raised her sword high. Then as she yelled, she brought it down, as though carrying out an execution. "Ice Sculpture!... |
eyes still red, he spoke a few words. "Sorry, that was kind of pathetic... I'm okay now." "Hmph, I saw nothing... Nay, I shall say this. 'Tis no shame in crying when one must." Kaito turned toward Elisabeth. She wasn't looking at him. She was staring off into space. Her lips upturned, she bluntly repeated herself. "'Ti... |
Torture Princess. The two of them looked to where the mass of flesh was resting. A fresh wave of underlings was heading straight toward them. Kaito raised his right arm, and Elisabeth clicked her heels. "I need you guys to run." Kaito snapped his fingers before murmuring softly. "The Torture Princess and the Kaiser's c... |
them. The Butcher truly did have nerves of steel. Kaito turned and bowed to the Butcher, who was still dancing with joy. "...Thanks a lot, Butcher. That's a huge help." "Mm-hmm, Dim-Witted Servant, showing me proper gratitude?! Away with you, impostor! Show me your true form!" "Wait, have I really never thanked you for... |
really shouldn't be so hard on yourself—oh, careful there!" Assailed by numerous stakes, Vlad bent his body at a strange angle. Unsurprisingly, his expression soured. Seeing that, Elisabeth scoffed. "Ha. You'd best brace yourself. The moment your task is through, I shall kill you once more. I shan't spare you a shred... |
rather aberrant for a man who could relax after only so barely fleeing danger." Hearing Kaito's whisper, Elisabeth nodded. Eventually, the two of them made it to the middle of the square. Seeing something strange there, Kaito narrowed his eyes. "...What's up with that?" "That's a statue of the Saint. Hardly an oddity."... |
As per the previous meeting, once we finish evacuating the residents, we plan to launch an all-out attack on the demon with the support of the priests. And La Mules, the Shepherd, will be joining us as well." "Hey, Elisabeth?" "Now, of all times? What is it? If it's some idle nonsense, I shall strike you dead." "What's... |
human parts of their bodies were forced forward. Losing their balance, the underlings toppled to the ground. Seeing the underlings fall, the fleeing townsfolk stopped in confusion. From within them, one woman called out. "Oh... You're Rohan, aren't you? Rohan! Dear!" Forgetting the danger and dread consuming her, she r... |
that the gruel's flavor was more than decent. Warmth began to spread throughout his empty stomach. Then he finally realized how hungry he'd been. "Even after forming a contract with a demon, I still get hungry, huh?" After muttering to himself, Kaito tilted the bowl up and downed the rest of the gruel. Well aware of ho... |
you, boy." "...You were watching that?" "And laughing all the while. You put on quite the unpleasant, unseemly show." The Kaiser snorted mockingly again, blowing fumes in Kaito's face that smelled distinctly of blood. Kaito clenched his fists as he cast his gaze down. The Kaiser was right. Given his power and situation... |
have no objections to that!" "Ma'am...Commander Izabella." "Throw out your chest with pride and shed tears no more! I won't forgive any who hold your actions against you, even if it's you yourselves. And as for you..." "Ma'am, yes, ma'am! My apologies, my deepest apologies! I just, I..." The other paladin leaped to att... |
left wide open. The song was coming from inside. Kaito carefully ascended the stairs, which were made of brick and had been ground down by years of drunkards' footfalls. He cautiously peeked inside the store. Round tables were lined up atop the worn-out wooden floor within. And Elisabeth was sitting at one of those tab... |
distance, it was impossible to confirm or deny their presence. As if in their stead, what Kaito could make out was a rather bizarre spectacle. "...What's up with that?" The area around the mass was stained gray for several miles in every direction. The buildings within the encroachment radius were weathered like old pa... |
a moment, even Kaito felt as though victory was at hand. Suddenly, the surface of the mass trembled and a chunk fell off. "...Huh?" Kaito narrowed his eyes in confusion. It was a chunk of raw flesh, but its form was like that of dough cut out by a child with a crude cookie cutter. Waving in the wind, the thin figure fl... |
paladins and priests were simply deep in slumber. While their lives didn't seem to be in any danger, they also didn't show any signs of waking up. Dropping to one knee, Elisabeth checked their pulse and breathing. "Hmm, a spell designed to make them sleep, perhaps... She was caught in the roar; is La Mules—" Then som... |
Hell like she swore she would. However, the conclusions he'd arrived at were no longer quite the same. Godot Deus is gone. And the paladins have taken a serious hit. Maybe once everything's over... A thought crossed his mind. Would she still submit, once this was all over? However, in his heart, he knew. "Having lived ... |
rows of buildings had been intentionally built to look shady. It was a far cry from the townscape he'd seen in the rest of the city. Cocking his head in confusion at the strange ambience, Kaito realized something else seemed out of place. "Hey, Elisabeth, why don't those buildings have entrances? How are people suppose... |
accomplished my goal. We were able to pick out presents for Hina." "Ha, you just wanted to get gifts from the capital for your bride? What a faithful fellow you are." "Now we just have to go back together so we can give them to her." Elisabeth shut her mouth tight. From beside her, Kaito examined her face. Her expressi... |
he paid no heed to her words and kept running. He had a single destination in mind. The square where the Monarch was imprisoned. When Kaito reached the square, he found himself once more enduring the glares of the paladins manning the perimeter. He began carefully observing the priests' barrier. Staring at it, he gauge... |
a knife. Beyond it was a sight that would cause anyone looking to doubt their sanity. Everything there was stained gray. The surfaces of the buildings and trees were weathered, as though hundreds of years had gone by. There was no sign of life in sight, of course. Even the air itself was cold and firm. The dim rays of ... |
of the casualties. The crimson-, peach-, black-, and rust-colored underlings filled the horizon to the limit. The underlings who had assaulted the square and the ones who'd been killed by La Mules must have been nothing more than a fraction of their ranks. Even just counting the ones in Kaito's field of view, they numb... |
you want to save the suffering people as soon as possible?" Her voice was like a slap in the face. In that moment, Izabella had completely and utterly defeated Kaito. He found himself at a loss for words. Still speechless, he practically spasmed as he bowed deeply to the white orb. After biting down hard on his lip, he... |
little strange. They were rather far away from the place where they lived. This wouldn't normally be a situation that called for the phrase I'm home. But for the two of them, it was wholly fitting. Gazing solely at Kaito, the silver-haired bride went on. "At long last, I've returned to my rightful place by your side." ... |
"Ah, my dear friends. To that end, please leave this to me! This brute seems rather firm, so it may take just a little bit of time to whittle him down." "Got...got it." "W-we leave it in your capable hands." "Oh, and Master Kaito, is twelve children all right with you? Would you prefer more?" "L-let's leave it at twelv... |
a being of consciousness alone. There was nobody there to observe him, to interact with him, or to define him. And he had no methods at his disposal to confirm his own sensations. It was hard to prove the existence of the self with nothing but consciousness in this space devoid of touch, sight, hearing, and meaning. Bu... |
clicking sounded out from beside him. Kaito's eyes went wide. Silky black hair was fluttering right next to him, as was a dress with its inside dyed scarlet. A woman wearing a provocative bondage dress passed from his side and began walking in front of him. Kaito tried to call out to her pale back. But before he could,... |
undulating. The Kaiser howled, as though signaling that something was starting. Vlad spoke in a smooth whisper. "The flesh of demons transforms into black feathers when they die. But first, it collapses." Kaito's eyes went wide. Of all the places they could have gone, they'd arrived at the deepest part of a collapsing ... |

"Live strong. And for the rest of your days, may you spend them in happiness." Elisabeth gazed at Hina as though she wer... |

She recalled his stupid, nonsensical promise. "And hey, you bringing me back to life and summoning me here must have been some kind of fate... So until you s... |

With how many are falling victim, as though the tale of old is being recreated, doing so is more important than ever. Carr... |
I wasn't particularly keen on surprise attacks. I would instead spearhead my demonic troops and boldly launch grand invasions. In short, my dear successor, I'm afraid I can't be of much help. I never took it upon myself to even learn such uninspired spells in the first place!" Well, he sure was completely useless. Kait... |
for help on their own. They might find themselves assailed by nightmares for a few days, though. They'd better, or I'm in trouble. Kaito looked down at his downed foes with a serious look on his face. After all, he needed the people to continue believing that Kaito Sena was the enemy of mankind. Given his position, he ... |
tragedy as anything but a complete betrayal of that goodwill." "So in other words..." "We suspect that the perpetrator is human—and not merely an individual, but a group." The wolf-headed beastman nodded, and behind him, his subordinates did the same. Kaito gulped. The fight against the demons had only just ended. No... |
then hardened into a wall, cracked, and collapsed. The red-and-white mass toppled onto the ground in square chunks, then vanished. When his vision returned, Kaito found himself standing in the land of the beastfolk. So this is what it's like, huh? Kaito recalled the information he'd heard from Hina back when Lute's sub... |

The sky grew dark. The hill where Kaito had knocked out the paladins was blanketed in darkness as well. Even the holes... |
Vlad stroked his chin again. Having been made to recount the details of the past killings, fatigue crept across Lute's and his subordinates' faces. Kaito silently swore that if Vlad couldn't come up with anything after all that, then he'd never let him outside again. But Vlad himself snapped his fingers, his gesture ov... |
case, but it appears the impression of you that we got from the battle against the Earl held true." Lute flashed him a faint smile, to which Kaito responded with a strong nod. As he'd thought, Lute and his men didn't plan to offer up any information regarding the beastfolk. Even so, though, it looked like his amenable ... |
Kaiser finally took on an interested tone. "I see. As always, the manner in which you think leaves me unsure as to whether you're a madman or a fool. So what would you have me do?" "I've just got one request. I need you to bring me over there as accurately as you can." "Hmm very well, I suppose." Considering the length... |
He'd even taken the Torture Princess out on a date, for crying out loud. And he'd told her that even if every single other person scorned her, he would hold her in higher esteem than anyone else in the world. "What a fool he is. What a hopeless, irredeemable fool. The largest idiot in all the world." "I like her a whol... |
