Good, now I can keep up with the two of them in the fight.

I would have preferred a full to half-moon night if I had to, though.

But oh well…I have Yomi over here.

Me and Yomi would never lose.

「Now… Let’s start, shall we?」

「Anytime?」

Taking my exchange as a cue…Fleuretia-sama jumped on me.

I’m the first target?

「No offense, but I don’t have enough room for both of you at the same time! I’m going to fight you one by one!」

In other words, she’s not going to let us both attack simultaneously by blowing us up or something.

But she didn’t do the stalling by the magic beast that she used on Yomi… So, was that the most powerful magical beast?

While I was thinking that, she closed the distance.

「Hmph!」

「Too bad!」

「――-!? …Ggh…」

I grabbed her by the arm and threw her off like judo.

It landed cleanly, but…at the moment of its landing, its arms and legs are on the ground.

That moment is fatal.

「Yomi!」

「I know!」

「Wa…! Close!」

The moment she landed, Yomi, who was ahead of her, tried to cut her down… She avoided it by a hair’s breadth.

(Oh my god…! What a monster that little kid has discovered…! Magic is sealed and they still can do this, are you kidding me!?)

「Yomi, I’ll support you with Ars, you attack anyway! Attract as much attention as you can! When I see an opening, I will attack! Don’t let this two-on-one situation get out of hand!」

「I’ll take care of it! I won’t let Lean hurt anymore!」

「Gohu!」

「What? Lean!」

「It’s okay…nothing…hang in there…」

(……I wonder if that girl will destroy herself if left alone)

◆◇◆◇◆

It’s been twenty minutes. No good, I can’t give her a decisive attack.

I anticipate her movements with Ars and attack her at the smallest gap.

She was wary of it, and on the contrary, when she saw a gap in Yomi, she slashed attack.

Also, I did put some minor scratches on her… Still, it’s far from being major damage.

And, of course, I’m not unscathed either.

We jumped right into the gap that was made on purpose…and both Yomi and I were attacked somewhat.

What is bad about this person is that the timing of the gap is irregular and difficult to spot.

「Lean, what do we do? If we don’t do something, we’ll just keep playing around.」

「I know…what to do…!」

「Fufufu…fufufufu…what are we going to do now? I’ve still got plenty of time to spare, don’t you?」

…It’s a quirky bluff.

But it’s also true that neither of us has a decision to make.

What should we really do…?

…Ugh, I didn’t want to do it, but that’s the only way.

I guess I’ll just have to use the『Maintenance Bracelet』.

「Yomi, I’m sorry, but…can you somehow do your best to create a gap? As big as possible. And one that I can poke through.」

「Eh, sudden reckless…」

Impossible…?

「……But I understand. I’ll take care of it.」

「Ah, like……」

「Hmm? What did you say?」

「Ah? No, nothing?」

「I see? …Okay, I’m going.」

Dangerous, dangerous, I almost confessed to her by accident because her back was so cool.

「…Finished with the strategy meeting?」

「Yes… Next time I’ll beat you.」

「My my… Good! I’m…」

――PAAAAAAN!

「…Eh?」

There was a mysterious sound that could be either an explosion or a gunshot.

Then the atmosphere around us changed and we returned to the first scene when we and Fleuretia-sama met.

And more…

「…Hmm? Hey Lean, something, use magic.」

「Huh?《Create Water》. Oh, it’s true…why?」

Ah.

I thought I heard that sound earlier, but then I remembered.

The one I often hear when I’m with Sakura-kun and Rain-san.

Yes, it’s the sound of a broken ward.

「Uhh, Fleuretia-sama…what in the world is this…」

「Ah, awawawawa……」

「……Fleuretia-sama?」

What is it?

She’s in an unusual state of panic.

Also, frightened?

「This is not good… I’m sorry, you two, but we’re going to have to pause here. I’m going to make a little strategic retreat, and you two can…」

「I won’t let you go, okay? When I’m not looking…you’ve been very naughty, haven’t you, Letty?」

「Eekkk!」

A slightly lustrous voice came from the sky above.

It was like the whisper of the devil’s voice…

Hmm? I mean, this voice…

「Vinel-san?」

「Yes, Lean-chan, Yomi-chan, good evening. I’ve heard about it from the Demon Lord and have come to support you.」

There is no doubt about it.

It’s Vinel-san, the first-ranked executive of the Demon Army, the『General Murderer』.

Although her combat power is low, she supports the Demon Army with her brilliant mind and analytical abilities and can be said to be the Demon Lord’s other arm.

Yes, that’s right. Her combat power is low.

And yet…

「Vi-Vi-Vinel…! Th-Th-This different! It’s more like mutual consent, you know!? Also, uhh…!?」

Fleuretia-sama’s fright is extraordinary…

It is hard to believe that this is the level of the most powerful dragonman who, until a minute ago, was laughing fearlessly in a great game with us.

「Is that your only excuse? My my, you’ve hurt our core strength so much that…it seems you need to be punished again.」

「Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?」

…Let’s see.

How can I and Yomi have this fever that won’t cool down…

Before that, I can’t keep up with the conversation…

◆◇◆◇◆

「I’m sorry, Vinel had other matters to attend to, which delayed her dispatch. I’m glad she could finish ahead of schedule. You’re very good, Vinel.」

「No, no, I’m good at simplifying things.」

「Nooooooo! Forgive meeeeeeeee!」

What is this situation?

I’m here, in Demon Lord’s room.

To explain the situation, the Demon Lord is on the throne, and Yomi and I are standing…Vinel-san is on top of Fleuretia-sama, and Fleuretia-sama is lying on her stomach like a squashed frog, begging for her life(?).

I’ll say it again, right? What is this situation?

「I’m sorry about that. To be honest, I thought we wouldn’t be able to send Vinel for another three days, so I sent you and Yomi… I guess I still underestimated Vinel.」

「The demon king has been praising me a lot lately. I’m glad.」

「I’ll never do it again! I won’t do it again!」

…Uhh, even though magic was sealed, a monster that fights evenly with the first and second seats of the Four Demon Generals fighting at the same time, is down by just one female devil.

How is this possible?

「Uhh, um…may I ask something?」

「Hmm? What is it?」

「That…what is the relationship between Vinel-san and Fleuretia-sama?」

「She’s my ex-lover♡」

Ah, I see.

Ex-lovers, huh~

I didn’t know that. Hmmm~

………

「「Eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?!?」」
