“Hey, System.”
I called the system silently in my mind.
“Are you messing with me right now?”
I’m human, why did you make it seem like I can use magic like other demons?
“Are you crazy?”
Trembling with frustration, the system window appeared before my eyes as I thought.
[SYSTEM]
I clearly informed you!
{Class Change Mission <Find Your Occupation!>
Honestly, I don’t want to congratulate you, but let me congratulate you for now.
Congratulations on a definite class change. Now, you can’t escape.}
Blame your improperly read information!
“…”
Was this what the definite class change meant? That I can only use summoning magic and nothing else?
‘This is insane…’
How am I supposed to survive among these powerful demons as a weak human? I can’t even use summoning magic properly!
My head throbbed.
Just like in my past life, I thought I could use basic magic, so I was at ease!
“Shekina, why are you like this?”
“No need to worry. You don’t have many occasions to use magic now, right?”
Not many? Anything can happen to a person at any time!
“Even so, shouldn’t I be able to defend my own body?”
The demons tilted their heads at my words.
“Don’t you know why the commander trains like that?”
“Oh, your intuition is as lacking as your conscience.”
What? I don’t know.
How would I know something like that?
I might figure it out if I think more, but now wasn’t the time. What should I do? My head was pounding.
“There’s no way. The types of magic are predetermined.”
“Just practice summoning more?”
“Summon a demon!”
That’s something to consider.
However, I don’t want to summon demons in front of everyone. It’s not at a level where I can do that independently, and showing summoning magic recklessly might lead to being exploited.
What should I do? I nibbled on my fingernails.
“But…”
“I’ll solve that worry for you!”
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed.
It was Sebastian!
“Hello. I am Sebastian, Shekina’s slave. Nice to meet you.”
He bowed to the other demons, then smiled at me.
“Slave, huh? Sounds strange.”
“Then let’s go with ‘servant.’ The lowest-ranked servant. Loyalty.”
I found his attitude somewhat different from before.
“Why do you seem so composed…?”
“Of course! I don’t want to go back anymore! I will serve Shekina from now on!”
Not wanting to go back probably meant talking about the prison.
It seems like Arthur gave him a hard time.
I don’t want to know how it happened, so I shouldn’t ask…
“How are you going to solve my problem?”
“I can make artifacts for you! And scrolls!”
Artifacts? Scrolls? I widened my eyes.
“Oh, despite looking stupid, you’re surprisingly skilled?”
“I’ve never heard of a demon who can make artifacts or scrolls.”
“Well, I’m a recluse master!”
Sebastian spread his thumb and forefinger under his chin, smirking.
“Really going to help me?”
“Of course! Making magical items is my specialty.”
Not black magic, then?
It was a term I heard for the first time, so I was a bit surprised.
Just trust me. I’ll make everything. Please, Arthur, praise me. Please.”
“Oh, you were also taken by the vice-commander?”
“It feels like we’re close, right? We can become friends, don’t you think?”
“It’s really hellish there… I sometimes dream about it. I can’t forget…”
What on earth did Arthur do to make them react like this?
Thinking again that I should be careful with Arthur, I nodded to Sebastian.
“Let these two talk for a bit. The rest of you, go back to training. Get lost.”
A smirk appeared on the demon’s faces at my words.
“I don’t like getting cursed, but if Shekina does it, I’d love it. I hope she curses me more.”
“The pervert talks too much, right? It would be nice if he shut up.”
“Yeah, let’s go quickly. The vice-commander is watching us. If we get caught, we’ll have to run again.”
“We’ll go now!”
They shook my hand vigorously again before running off.
Ah, it’s finally quiet. They’re all fine, but they’re too noisy.
“Meeting them once a month is just perfect. Too much is too much.”
Rubbing my ears, I muttered. Sebastian hesitated for a moment and spoke in a low voice.
“The demons of the 1st legion are known as the craziest. The scariest, the cruelest, and the strongest.”
“Hmm, but?”
“……..”
Sebastian’s pupils rolled as if in pain.
“I will be loyal to Sekina.”
Then, he raised his thumb.
“I’m good at riding waves.”
***
Merdes had been unable to sleep for several days.
The reason was simple.
– Sweetie, shall I help? Where’s you daddy?
The humans he had encountered a few days ago kept coming to his mind.
– Sweetie! You need to go quickly! We’ll somehow try to stop them!
Those much weaker beings, those insignificant creatures who, despite being far weaker than him, shielded him—he couldn’t forget that sight.
Merdes lay on the soft carpet, staring blankly at the ceiling, reminiscing about those memories.
‘Perhaps humans might be different from what I thought….’
“No! No way!”
Suddenly startled by a thought, Merdes jolted up.
“Nonsense. Humans are the enemy! We’re suffering like this because of humans!”
Merdes screamed, tearing at his hair.
“This is insane. It’s insane!”
But once planted, doubts don’t easily vanish. The suspicion that humans might be better beings than her preconceptions suggested began to grow.
What should I do?
I don’t think I should ponder this alone.
Merdes’ face turned pale.
“Hey…”
At that moment, Pardes, who had his blanket pulled over his head, spoke.
“Too loud. I pulled an all-nighter and just got to sleep in the morning. Shut up.”
Right! I have a brother!
A glint appeared in Merdes’ eyes.
“Brother, I have something I’m curious about.”
“Can’t you hear that I just got to sleep in the morning?”
“I can hear you, but I still have something I’m curious about.”
“This crazy guy…”
Pardes tried to cover his ears by pulling the blanket even tighter, but Merdes didn’t back off. His words reached him as he got closer to the bed.
“Brother, what do you think of humans?”
“Humans?”
“No, a while ago when I went out. At that time, I had to say something about the humans… like help? Protection? They were offering that. But haven’t the demons ever done that for us? Even though they’re much stronger.”
Merdes clenched his fists and moved his upper body left and right as he spoke.
“Those humans who tried to protect me were so frightening. I was trembling a lot, but they told me to run away. If Shekina hadn’t come at that time, we would all be dead.”
They were all scared, yet they tried to protect Merdes. It was hard to comprehend what they were thinking.
“What was it? Why did they do that for me?”
Pardes glanced at Merdes, who wore a dumbfounded expression as he lowered the blanket.
“Seems like they were stupid humans.”
“… Huh?”
“You were probably too stupid to assess the situation. If they left you and ran away, they might have survived. Your lack of judgment might be the problem.”
“Hmm… Maybe.”
Merdes just scratched the back of his head without fully agreeing. Pardes could sense that his attitude had somehow gained favor with humans. He hoped it was an exclusive thought only he had among the twins. Pardes wrinkled his face.
“What’s bothering you?”
“Hmm, not sure. My feelings are just a bit strange. What should I do?”
“How should I know?”
“Brother! Brother knows everything, right?”
“I don’t know. Also, I’m sleepy, so my brain isn’t working.”
“Don’t!”
“If you keep talking, go bother Shekina or something. She knows a lot about various things.”
“Shekina?”
Merdes widened his eyes, then quickly nodded as if realizing something.
“Got it! I’ll go right now!”
“Yeah. Don’t come into the room until I wake up. If you do, you’re dead.”
“Okay!”
After covering Merdes with the blanket again, Pardes went back to sleep.
And when Merdes found Shekina…
He saw Shekina covered in some strange liquid all over her body.
“Aaah! I messed up! I don’t want to go back to prison! Please forgive me!”
And there was another strange demon in front of her, begging for forgiveness.
