Elena's torture was over,
since it was already late at night, we were allowed to stay in the drawing room of the Demon Lord's castle for the night.
Then, the next day.
I came to say hello to Bunmi-san.
「We'll return to the humans' town but―
Is the devil-kin countermeasure going well?」
「We've received various help from you guys.
Well, we can't also just rely on you guys.
We are going to handle the rest somehow.」
I shook hands with Bunmi-san.
「That reminds me, I didn't pay the remuneration.」
「Well, it's particularly fine.」
「Don't say that.
However, it's regrettable since we can't decide selfishly in the situation where the Demon Lord-sama isn't here……
so please show up when you stopped by again some other time since the remuneration is going to be prepared in discussion with the Demon Lord-sama.」
「Yeah, I understand.」
Bunmi-san is also an honest person, huh.
Hilda also loathed to part with Cassandra-san.
In this way, we left the demon town and used【teleporation】toward Shinju town.

「Why did we come to the Shinju town, Onii-chan?」
「For the time being, I'm going to inform Lela about the matter of the devil-kin.」
「Eh?
Lela isn't in Ikebu town?」
「She seems to be in Shinju town for some reason.
Well, we'll understand once we meet and ask her.」
When I checked Lela's whereabouts on the map, it was in Azos' mansion.
The gatekeeper seemed to recognize our faces, he let us through with face pass and we went directly to Lela's room.
「We've come, Lela.」
「S-, Seiji!」
Lela rushed toward me with open arms.
Eh?
Are you by any chance coming for a hug, Lela?
As soon as I thought that, she had approached just in front of me and suddenly realized,
abruptly slamming her brakes,
she put her hands down dejectedly―
Whilst looking downward in embarrassment,
she shook my hands again.
Umu, this series of movements......
I don't know what it means.
What did you want to do?
「Since you suddenly come, I may have been confused.」
「N? Is that so, I'm sorry.」
Umu, why do I have to apologize?
