“Jose-sama. Allow me to join you.”
“Sure! Let’s do this, Marlon!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Ah, but my legs are already shaking.”
“Let us persevere!”
Crowley chuckled. Jose was hopeless. He didn’t look to be blessed with any talent. But he was kind and could easily make everyone around him love him. And as far as Crowley was concerned, it was a good thing, and he should have just stayed that way forever. Because even if he attained the strength of Crowley’s level, he wouldn’t be able to protect anyone.
“I’ll be out for a while.”
“Ah! Then I’ll…” Jose started, wanting to follow, but realized that he was currently in the middle of an exercise.
Crowley grinned broadly, “5 hours, remember.”
Jose’s face fell as he realized he had been tricked.
Crowley walked out of the house, laughing all the while. It was still midday outside. Once they noticed Crowley, his neighbors hurried to greet him one after another with smiling faces.
“Ah, Crowley-sama.”
“Going out, Crowley-sama?”
Crowley threw in appropriate words to each of them.
At this hour, the streets were still full of people. But no one would be left on them once the dusk fell.
