「……Emil.」
Rem quietly called out.
「Be at ease, Rem-chan! I’ll release you from this heinous Demon right now!」
「……Please stop already. Allow me to say it to you clearly. The cause of why I am stuck with this slavery choker is due to my own blunder.」
「Eh? ……Wh, what……what do you mean by that?」
「……I don’t want to go into detail about it but Shera and I made a blunder……and got the chokers that should be bestowed onto the Summoned Beast onto ourselves.」
Rem bit her lip.
Shera made a face that looked like she was about to cry, and her cheeks became red.
——So she went and said it.
It seemed that she couldn’t let Diablo and Emil’s fight intensify anymore than this.
「……He has promised to cooperate in removing these slavery chokers.」
「Wh, what was that!?」
「……Though, right now, since we do not know the release method, we have gotten Celestine-san to investigate it.」
Emil raised a frail voice.
「Could it be, I……」
「……You jumped to conclusions. Please sheath your sword.」
A cold, wintry atmosphere streamed in.
After Emil had a brief silence——he smiled.
「Fu, fufufu……Thank goodness! So there weren’t any women that had slaver chokers forcibly placed on them!」
He ended it as if it were an impressive tale.
It was a refreshing smile.
「Hey, Demon, what’s your name?」
「It’s Diablo.」
「My name is Emil Byushelbeljel! I’m an ally of all women and an ally of the allies of women. In other words, Diablo, if you’re cooperating in removing Rem-chan’s and Shera-chan’s chokers, I’m also your ally!」
「Is that so.」
「I’m really sorry for suddenly trying to cut you down! Whenever you need a Warrior’s strength, you can rely on me whenever you need it! Well, you’re pretty good yourself!」
「Fu……」
Diablo laughed.
——Well, he doesn’t seem like a bad guy.
Besides, he the received Diablo’s physical attack that defeated the Salamander in one hit and was still lively. It probably wasn’t a lie that he was a level 50 Warrior.
Emil stepped aside from the front of the stairs.
「Sorry for getting in your way. You’re going to the Adventurers Registration, right? If you’re choosing the Warrior system, let me determine it from the earlier attack……Fumu……As a Warrior, I’d say you’re around level 40!」
The surroundings became noisy.
He understood that level 40 Warriors seemed to be highly appreciated.
——Oi oi, are all of these guys lower than that? This isn’t the town at the starting point you know?
Diablo swung his head left and right.
「I am a Magician.」
「What!? That is unfortunate……Well, I guess it can’t be helped……Diablo, once you’ve finished your first mission as an adventurer, come visit me! As a celebration, I’ll treat you to anything!」
「Hmph, if I feel like it.」
Being sent forward, Diablo’s group went up the stairs going to the second floor.
Lined up beside him, Rem talked.
「……Emil isn’t a bad person, and he definitely is competent.」
「But that person feels stupid, right!」
「……That’s true.」
Rem didn’t object.
There was an unexpected accident, but they were finally at the Adventurers Registration.
——Since it looks like they’ll celebrate if I finish my first mission, I’ll do my best.
Remembering when he first started Cross Reverie, he felt an excited elation.
