The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

rs.  Do you think then that I wouldn’t desire their subjugation then?”  

 

Just as Airi said, the ones who hate the Old Demon Faction the most aren’t the gods or mortals, but the demon race themselves.  

 

If not for those cancers, people wouldn’t be still so guarded against the demon race as a whole.  Nor would the three races still merely maintaining a balance, but have instead stepped forward to true peace.  

 

It’s all because of those guys rampaging as they liked that the gods and mortals still consider the demons as dangerous and untrustworthy.  

 

Thus, Airi wanting to cut those cancers out is only understandable.  

 

Perhaps, Airi’s appearance in the mortal world, her arrival in the Capital, and then her detecting his own existence may very well be due to the incidents with Leisha, Baydr, Jillian, and their groups.  

 

That said though…  Didn’t this girl just leak out a terrifying secret just now?  

 

While Shien was still seriously considering the matter, Airi once again spoke up.  

 

“Since I know where those cancers have appeared again, there’s no way that I can let them off.”  

 

Airi looked at Shien.  

 

“…  You’re not asking me to go, are you?”  

 

Shien’s eye twitched.  

 

“Correct.”  Airi spoke calmly, “You destroyed Baydr’s branch of the Old Demon Faction, so if you appeared near their field of view, then there’s a high chance that they’d show themselves.  And at that point…”  

 

Shien interrupted her before she could finish that sentence.

“But I already said it.  I don’t want to go, I have things to do still, and I don’t want to get scammed.”  

 

Shien was nearly on the verge of raising his hands in the air for emphasis.  

 

“You’re really not going?”  Airi frowned, “You’re not going even if I went with you?”  

 

“You’re going with me?”  Shien stopped and started thinking it over deeply.  

 

If Airi really were to follow him along, then that’s not impossible anymore.  

 

That girl’s battle power is definitely broken.  It’s unknown if she could shatter planets with a punch like a certain monkey named Son, but even if not, she’s still definitely at a level that no one else could come close to matching.  

 

If that girl’s with him, then no plots or schemes could possibly work against him, right?  

 

After all, this girl’s not just unbelievably powerful in a fight, her status is also high enough that it’s scary.  If a mere duke of the Kingdom tried to provoke him even so, then he’d probably end up annihilated in an instant.  

 

If he were to bring this girl with him, then in the end, not only would there be no problem anymore, he’d even be able to turn the whole thing around against that old hardass, right?  

 

In addition to hat, he wouldn’t even need to follow that old hardass’s plans at all.  He could very well just take the girl with him and sneak in to do all that without anyone realizing.  

 

As he thought that, Shien really was a bit tempted.  

 

When he considers that old hardass that was plotting against him, Shien really did want to do some hitting back.  

 

However, that’s all first on the premise of not getting in the way of his main priorities.  

 

Therefore…

“Alright, I’ll go with you.”  Shien told Airi, “However, I have two conditions.”  

 

Airi was rather dissatisfied with that though.  

 

“You’re the only one who could talk conditions with me.”  Airi let out a sigh, “Say it then, what are your conditions then?”  

 

“First of all, we won’t be going until a month later, not right now.”  

 

Shien had first made sure to establish this point.  

 

That’s his main priority here.  It can’t be put off.  

 

“But what if they’ve gotten away by then?”  

 

Airi frowned.  

 

“If that happens, then I’;ll figure out something else.”  Shien promised, “Is that alright?”  

 

“Fine.”  Airi considered it for a bit before nodding, “And the second condition?”  

 

“As for the second…”  Shien gave a glance at the pillow Airi’s holding and smiled like a thief that had finally spotted an opening, “You have to move your pillow out of the way and let me take a peek.  Just one peek.”  

 

“Eh?”  Airi was startled.  

 

Immediately after, Airi finally realized.  

 

That guy.   So that’s what he was waiting for huh?  

 

That piece of shit!
