Litty, Fighting Baphomet
Baphomet, the legendary Greater Demon. When she was in the village, Litty had heard about it from a traveler. In their stories, Baphomet had the upper body of a goat, and whenever he wielded his scythe, thousands would lose their lives. If he were to spit fire, an empire would fall in a single night.
Litty recalled the episode which made him worthy of being called the Greater Satan, though she did not know whether such a thing really happened or not.
“You are Baphomet?”
“Yes, I am. No one in history has ever seen this Greater Demon make a pact with a human. You know, right, Kuufa?”
Kuufa was frightened, but Litty had already realized that this demon was not Baphomet.
The difference in appearance from the legend was a minor matter. However, Litty did not feel much danger in the face of a demon proclaiming himself to be that great. After coming to this conclusion, Litty then thought about how to confront this demon.
“Kuufa, it’s a breach of contract. Do you understand?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’ll do anything, just don’t hurt Litty-san!”
“The contract between the summoner and the summoned is absolute. You made a contract with me knowing that.”
“Litty-san, please run!”
Saying so, Baphomet’s firebomb was launched at Litty. With no escape in the narrow passage, Litty had no choice but to retreat. Baphomet chased after Litty, laughing gleefully.
“Frekkekkekke! She’s a b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲! She made a deal with me! In exchange for my help, she’s not allowed to be friends with anyone!”
“Kuufa-san did that?”
Litty barely survived the second blast and ran underground. Even if he may not be a named individual, his attack was still strong enough to take out the mole monster with a single blow.
All in all, even if the legendary great demon was a lie, it was not an opponent that Litty could ever underestimate. In fact, she could barely dodge the flames of the explosion.
“That’s right. I feed on her negative feelings. She can live up to this stage because of me. Our interests are aligned.”
Baphomet stopped the attacks and stayed where he was. Then he looked at Litty and twisted his face in an ugly smile.
“She has no parents. She has no talent. She was in a situation where she was about to fall into slavery for survival, so she dabbled in summoning techniques she’d heard about. It was because she made a contract with me that she was able to come this far.”
“I see…”
The fact that Kuufa was capable of becoming a 4th rank adventurer all thanks to this demon did not change Litty’s mind.
No matter what one said, she had worked hard as a summoner and accumulated achievements. Unlike Litty’s case, she did not have parents. She dabbled in the Summoning Technique with nothing to spare, and she continued to live desperately.
For this, Litty admired the girl, who was probably younger than herself, sincerely.
“The penalty for breach of contract is to kill the person she gets close to. I mean, it won’t do that one any good if you don’t die for her, you know.”
“Kuufa-san… have you ever seen someone you were close to get killed by this?”
“N, no? I have always kept myself away from people…”
Litty’s anger simmered in the pit of her stomach at the absurd, half-baked answer. It didn’t matter to Litty whether the agreement was consensual or not.
Litty thought that she was being denied an emotion that a human should have. Litty knew nothing about Summoners, but she didn’t care about minor details regarding how it worked.
“Okay, I understand. Then I have a question for Kuufa-san.”
“Ah? Oi, oi!”
Litty hurried to Kuufa and found her shaking from her knees. As Baphomet was approaching them, Litty took an unexpected action.
“Kuufa-san, do you need that demon?”
“I can’t do anything without him…”
“Then, would you be okay if someone was killed in front of you because of that?”
“That’s…”
“Oioioioi, what are you asking so late in the game?”
Baphomet grabbed Kuufa’s head and forcefully stroked it. Kuufa’s tearful but enduring expression was what gave Litty her answer.
