So, are there others that are Hitogami’s apostles?" "Darius is a candidate." "That’s probably for the best. Anyone else?" "There is a high possibility that either the North Emperor Auber or the Water God Reida is an apostle." "...... The apostles, there are only three?" "Yes, no more that that." "I see." Ariel nodded. "In other words, Rudeus-sama and Orsted-sama. The reason that you fight the apostles is so you can stop Hitogami’s plans?" "Yes. You learn fast." "There’s a reason why I take pride in being an understanding person." Although Ariel says that proudly, she didn’t smile. Ever since earlier, her facial expression has been stiff. "So, Orsted-sama. I have a proposal." "What?" "Since our purposes are aligned, I think I will also follow the instructions of Orsted-sama." "...... Even if you have that intention, those around you won’t listen." "It's all well and good if the others don’t know about this.
Even if I sold my soul to the devil, it’s impossible to complain if no one knew." "......" Ah, Orsted just looked a little down when she called him a devil. "I will do anything to win. The stronger the allies, the better." "......Didn’t you consider the possibility that I lied and would betray you at last moment?" "I’m not stupid enough to miss a chance because of fear of risks." Ariel-sama, what you’re saying is cool but, you probably actually feel like you’re swearing allegiance to the Great Devil King of Evil. When I was also kneeling to Orsted, I had the same feeling. However, the Orsted Corporation is a good company with great benefits. Just because an evil-looking guy is the CEO, doesn’t mean his treatment towards his employees is necessarily bad. "For now though, Orsted-sama, I want you to leave Luke to me." "Em." "You should dedicate yourself to fighting against the apostles of Hitogami with Rudeus-sama, and I will focus my efforts on gaining the support of nobles and Luke. If we do this, the burden each person carries is also reduced so it’s the most efficient thing to do " ".....I guess that’s okay. Then I leave matters regarding Luke to you.
Persuade him if possible, but if necessary, kill him.
