"Let's go back~ Let's go back~ Murmur! Let's go back~! Be our Demon King!"

"Murmur... hates it!"

Leviathan was playfully swinging tentacles that sprouted from the ground and a mana sword at Murmur.

Each time a tentacle was swung, a purple mana tore through the air. Murmur barely managed to deflect the attacks with her old sword while simultaneously summoning spirits, but Leviathan's playful smile gradually twisted, and the attacks intensified.

Nikea froze as she watched the walls of Piglet House collapse and the floor crack.

'Kind... Leviathan?'

A battle between demons.

Nikea, caught up in the strange scene, was staggering in pain as if her organs were twisting.

'Why does Murmur know about the Seven Sisters of Paradise?'

In the situation where Leviathan and Murmur were fighting in front of her, Nikea was so flustered that she couldn't move an inch.

The Seven Sisters of Paradise.

Nikea had heard about these terrifying demons who enjoyed playing with human emotions from her sister.

The sight of the 'Moonlight Dawn Society' boasting that they would surely punish them was still vivid in Nikea's eyes.

'The person who knows that story... the person who could know...'

Nikea was so confused that she clenched her teeth tightly.

'Murmur... might really be a descendant of the Demon God.'

It wasn't just because she knew about the Seven Sisters of Paradise that Nikea suspected Murmur.

Her magical skills were unimaginable for a 5th grader in elementary school.

She was able to transcribe a grimoire because she was fluent in ancient demon language.

Colette Bloodberry's last cry.

The sweet scent emanating from Murmur's body.

'Come to think of it, Murmur knew the exact location of the magic circles. She always told me the reason, but...'

Once the seed of suspicion began to sprout, it wouldn't stop.

All the stories seemed plausible, and all the evidence pointed to a single truth.

'And...'

Nikea looked at 'Kind Leviathan' with a pale face.

"Murmur! Let's go back to Maleficia~ Huh? Lucifer will be nice to you! Belphegor's cookies are super delicious~!"

"Murmur doesn't need it! The pancakes I made with Esme are better!"

Murmur instantly created a 'fusion spirit' with both hands.

And Leviathan was trying to 'bring her back' no matter what.

The more Nikea watched their relationship, the more confused she became.

'Leviathan is trying to take Murmur... It's true, Nikea. You know it. This is the truth.'

Nikea felt a little disgusted with herself.

Why would the Moonlight Dawn Society try to kill the Seven Sisters of Paradise?

What was their purpose?

Nikea knew the answer. She had never wanted to know, but she, who was forced to live like an adult, knew.

'...The Seven Sisters of Paradise are demons who desire the resurrection of the Demon God more than anyone else. And they want Murmur now.'

Nikea, who had completed the puzzle in her hands, barely suppressed her nausea.

Murmur being a descendant of the Demon God.

'Then, the cute appearances she has shown me so far...'

Nikea felt a chill that made the hairs on her body stand on end, and she took a step back without even being able to swallow her saliva.

If it were a normal situation, she would have thought it was an 'excessive delusion,' but she couldn't help it.

The existence that takes advantage of a mother's longing for her daughter for 50 years is none other than a 'demon'.

"Murmur~ hey, hey? Let's stop playing friends and meet our real friends!"

"Nikea...! Esme! Sitri are Murmur's real friends!"

Leviathan easily blocked the huge fireball created by Murmur with a tentacle that sprung from the floor.

"Ugh, ugh..."

Looking down at the puzzle created in her mind, Nikea was sweating profusely.

'Nikea... get a grip.'

She had to protect the people from the evil demons.

It was the one and only duty that Nikea, whose bloodline itself was noble and destined to be worshipped, had to protect with her life.

Kill the evil demons.

Kill Murmur.

She didn't know why Leviathan and Murmur were fighting.

She didn't care about that.

If Murmur was a descendant of the Demon God, she had to kill her.

'That is my duty... the fate of being born a royal...'

Clutching the puzzle in her hand, Nikea took a step back.

She didn't care about Leviathan.

The important thing was Murmur.

What tragedy would occur if the 'Gatekeeper Demon Gabriel' met Murmur?

What disaster would occur if the Demon God descended upon this land?

Nikea knew the answer.

The adults had told her for a long time.

'But...!'

Nikea felt a pain that tore at her heart.

She didn't yet clearly know what the emotion she was harboring was, but she knew one thing.

It hurt.

The fact that she had to kill Murmur was so painful and agonizing.

Because Nikea...

"Nikea!! Don't space out!"

Murmur shouted as she hastily deflected a huge tentacle that was swung at Nikea with summoned spirits.

"Murmur..."

"Nikea!! If it's too painful and difficult, run away!"

Leviathan wasn't stupid, so she cackled and threw a skull that emitted evil from her fingertips.

Once again, Murmur barely blocked the attack with her body and pushed Nikea back.

"M-Murmur?!"

"You looked like you were having a hard time since before! Murmur knows! I'm not stupid! You're having a hard time because Mrs. Jefar, who you wanted to save, is dying, right?!"

That wasn't the reason.

"Murmur isn't planning on losing today. So run away!"

Murmur summoned another spirit with both hands and said, showing her small back.

"Nikea has had a hard time even on normal days. You don't need to have a hard time today either. You can run away! Murmur is okay."

Nikea's fingers trembled.

The rune that had been engraved on Murmur's cheek just a moment ago had disappeared.

This small, cute demon, her precious friend with magnificent horns, had used even the chance to protect her own life to make Nikea step back.

'Even though I learned last time that witches might not exist...'

Nikea gave a faint smile.

"Seriously! Princess Nikea! You're so clueless! Murmur and I have to go back to the Demon King's Castle, so can you please leave quickly~?"

When Leviathan clapped twice, another huge tentacle sprang out.

The huge mass of flesh was swung towards the 'load-bearing pillar' that was supporting Piglet House. If this pillar collapsed, the roof, unable to withstand the weight, would surely collapse.

"Don't interrupt Murmur and my fun time!"

The moment the load-bearing pillar shook greatly, Nikea held her breath.

She had made her choice.

She kicked away the gruesome outcome, the smell of blood that would pervade if she killed Murmur on the spot.

"Murmur! Be careful!"

Instead, Nikea decided to walk down a thorny path that was filled with a fresh scent, overflowing with affection.

She might regret it in the near and distant future.

She might be pointed at and ridiculed for generations as a princess who had consorted with a demon.

Even knowing that, Nikea supported the load-bearing pillar that was about to collapse with both hands.

"Nikea!!!"

"It's, okay...! I, I'm... strong! I'm a royal!"

Even though she was a royal with power that far surpassed humans, Nikea was overdoing it.

Her legs were trembling so badly that her knees touched the floor, and her pale arms were convulsing pitifully.

It was absolutely impossible for a human to withstand the weight of the entire roof and building with both hands.

But Nikea was doing it.

To protect her friend.

To revive the small spark of miracles that her friend had worked so hard to achieve until today.

"Wow... royals are so scary. Aren't you too strong~?"

Leviathan covered her mouth with her right hand and sneered.

"But it's a meaningless act~ you stupid princess! Soon, Murmur will be going back to Maleficia with me!"

"That's, not... what I know."

"What do you know so well that you're talking like that? Huh? Murmur is our hope? She's a descendant of the Demon God? It's natural for her to stop playing friends and go back."

Nikea smiled as she looked at the sneering Leviathan.

"That's, not possible? Murmur is..."

Nikea felt like her heart was about to burst.

"...She's incredibly precious to me!"

"Is it okay for a royal to say such things~?"

"Of course! Murmur will think of me that way too, I'm sure!"

Murmur nodded and pointed the old sword she was holding at Leviathan.

"Nikea is right. Murmur has no intention of going back. Everything precious to Murmur is here."

"Hmph, that can't be true~ Murmur. If you go back to Maleficia, there are even more precious things!"

Leviathan shook her hand and swung two tentacles at Nikea.

Murmur skillfully blocked the attacks using summoning magic and elemental magic.

This young demon, who had barely blocked the tentacle attacks two or three times, was using her mana incredibly efficiently to deal with the tentacle attacks.

By now, Leviathan was beginning to realize that none of her attacks were working on Murmur.

"Ugh, annoying...! Annoying! Annoying! Annoying! Murmur! Why are you acting so annoying?! I'm kindly telling you!"

Leviathan brought down her mana sword on Murmur.

"Stop playing friends! Let's go back to Maleficia!"

"Murmur has no intention of going back!"

"If you stay here, no one will understand you!"

"Murmur doesn't care! Cosmos Academy is Murmur's home!"

Murmur barely deflected the mana sword and said, protecting Nikea with her small body.

"Murmur was saved. That's why I was able to come to Cosmos Academy. And there are many things I want to protect. Too many."

Murmur, who began to emit mana that frightened Leviathan, proudly pointed her old sword.

"So. Murmur will make it clear."

"St, stop! Don't say it!"

"Murmur will become a hero. I will stop evil demons like Leviathan from hurting people, eating their dreams, and playing with them."

Leviathan gritted her teeth and took a step back.

The spirit that the small demon was creating was truly that of a 'descendant of the Demon God.'

"Why? Why?! Why are you saying such things! Murmur is a descendant of the Demon God! You're supposed to become a Demon King, not a hero!"

One of the Seven Sisters of Paradise.

The youngest.

Kind Leviathan shook her tail fiercely and pulled all the hidden tentacles out of the ground.

"It's meaningless! Meaningless! Kind Leviathan will tell you! Murmur is just having a headache right now!"

"..."

"You're crazy about playing friends! Haha! So, I'll tell you the truth! Murmur! Once the Gatekeeper Demon Gabriel is summoned, it won't matter anymore!"

Leviathan put her hands together and sparkled her eyes. For a brief moment, the shell of the Phenex that she was wearing rippled greatly.

It was blatantly showing off that she was going to show her 'true strength.'

"Murmur will eventually... receive the blessing of the Demon God, and we, the Seven Sisters, will finally complete our pilgrimage! Ahhh..."

Unlike Leviathan, who had a look of ecstasy, Murmur paused for a moment, looked at Nikea, who was desperately supporting the load-bearing pillar, and smiled.

At this moment, the small Murmur looked like a hero to Nikea.

"Leviathan has been saying that Murmur is amazing since before,but you've actually been looking down on her."

"What are you talking about? I mean it!"

Murmur shook her head and pointed her old sword at Leviathan.

This small demon had an incredible secret.

A power she had never shown in her fight against Leviathan.

The magic she obtained after defeating the Punisher Rowan.

"Murmur can control demons. You didn't know that? So give up. I'll give you a chance to run away."

Once again, Murmur made a dangerous statement, but Nikea wasn't even worried.

Witches might not exist.

Even if you have a lot of bug cards in your hand, you could be a 'patissier' who makes desserts together.
