Anyway, Agalia joined us, but is this guy going to announce his trial in this atmosphere? I mean, canât we just treat it as cleared? As I said before, itâs after Maria and Vakala, you know?
ãDeris, I understand what youâre saying. But as the last of the Great Eight Demons who will give a trial to your disciple, I have no choice but to use this authority. I mean, it sounds like a lot of fun!ã
ãOh, I honestly admire that kind of steel mentality of yours.ã
It seems that he really intends to do it.
ãSo, have you decided on the content of the trial? If youâre going to do it, make sure itâs appropriate for the last trial, okay?ã
ãThatâs right. If I were you, I would be too embarrassed to come out if it isnât appropriate.ã
ãWow, Iâm looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of trial will Agalia-sama, who stands at the top of the Great Eight Demons, give! I canât imagine it at all!ã
ãYou guys, can you please stop it already? Youâre making it hard for me since a while ago.ã
ãSuya~, Iâm looking forward to it, suya~ã
ãHaruna, youâre already awake, arenât you!? Whatâs with that specific sleep-talking!?ã
ãHow rude! If you master the Pleasant Sleep skill, something like this is easy! Itâs a basic technique, you know!?ã
ãNo, that skill doesnât have that kind of effect, right?ã
Anyway, after joking around, itâs time to get down to business. The air in the room is also changed.
ãIâm thinking of doing the last trial on the continent of Judah, where we always hold our meetings. No one will bother us there, and we wonât attract any attention. If you want, you can get all the members of the Great Eighth Demons together to watch it.ã
ãJudah, huh. Itâs true that only powerful people can go there.ã
ãAfter all, itâs a place with the worst climates~. Itâs a disaster fair~ã
ãThatâs right. So, whether or not your disciples can cross over to Judah one their own will be the starting point for the trial. But well, theyâve reached the level of the Great Eight Demons, so it wonât be an obstacle for them.ã
ãAgalia, stop wasting time and just tell us the contents of the trial. Something as easy as that wonât even serve as an opening for the trial.ã
ãNell is as short-tempered as ever, huh. You say itâs easy, but the only human in this era who can travel there are Deris and Nell, you know? Well, it canât be helped. I will tell you. Cough, test, test.ã
As if to regain his composure, Agalia was deliberately clearing his throat. I donât mean to give you advice, but I think you should hurry. Nellâs shoulder crusher is approaching you from behind.
ãThen, you three, lend me your ears.ã
ãYouâre not going to say it normally, huh?ã
ãI mean, Haruna might be awake. Come on.ã
ãSighâ¦ã
We had no choice but to lend our ears.
ãActually, whisperââã
ãããâ¦â¦â¦ããã
ââThen, we finished listening to the general explanation. We straighten our posture, put our hands on our chins, and wonder what to do.
ãWhatâs wrong? Why are you guys making that face?ã
ãWell, I mean, right?ã
ãYes, it was kind of unexpectedâ¦.ã
ãUm, is that even allowed? Itâs different from the trials they have had so far. We can decide the clearing standards, you know? Or rather, it will be cleared the moment we start it.ã
Lilyvia unusually asked something reasonable. Yeah, thatâs right. Rather than a trial, itâs more like Agaliaâs hobby.
ãIt was you guys who said rude things about my trial being after Maria and Vakala, right? Well, originally, Iâm not from the Demon Kingâs side, so it canât be helped if Iâm not suitable for the job. Then, considering everything, this kind of trial is acceptable! Iâm sure the other Great Eight Demons will enjoy it too. Also, Iâm sure Haruna will be pleased as well.ã
ãI-Is that so? Well, I think Haru will be happy about itâ¦. Then, let me confirm it again. Agalia, are you really okay with this kind of trial? When this is over, youâre going to open the door to another world, right?ã
ãYeah, this is fine. Iâm sure everyone will approve it, and Iâm sure you guys wonât cut corners!ã
ãSigh. You strangely trust me that much, huh.ã
I let out a sigh and sat down in a nearby chair. If this is going to be the trial, I donât need work behind the scenes to lay the groundwork. Well, I can have it easy, no, on second thought, itâs not easy.
ãSo, when are we going to start?ã
ãYou guys can decide it yourself. As long as you discuss it and tell me the date and time later, at least I will be the witness. Ah, if you can, please tell me with some time before the date. I want to contact the others who are able to come.ã
ãUhee, Iâm sure everyone will gatherâ¦.ã
ãâ¦â¦ Okay. I will let you know as soon as everything is ready.ã
ãTake your time. I will wait for days, months, even years!ã
ãNo, I wonât make you wait that long.ã
Anyway, the next objective has been decided. Iâll tell Haru when she wakes up, so letâs tell Chinatsu and Touko first.
ãSuyaââhah! I-Iâm hungryâ¦ã
When I was thinking about it, Haru suddenly woke up. It seems that her empty stomach has reached its limit. Itâs really Haru-like that she woke up for that reason, even though she was sleeping soundly until now.
ãHuh, whereâ¦?ã
ãGood morning, Haru. How are you feeling? Are you feeling any pain?ã
ãAh, ShishÅ. Um⦠my whole body hurts so much, but more importantly, Iâm so hungry! Ah, but I strangely feel great. Hmm?ã
At the same time as she said so, her stomach growled. I guess sheâs feeling great because she fought Vakala to her heartâs content.
ãI will briefly tell you what you want to know. You won against Vakala. You collapsed and slept soundly for a day. Your Pleasant Sleep skill was being very useful. We are in Carmineâs medical facility. Is there anything else you want to know?ã
ãI want to eat!ã
No, thatâs something I want to do.
ãHuh? Why are you here, Agalia-san?ã
ãHello, Haruna. First, let me congratulate you on being recognized by old man Vakala. Congratulations. Your great achievement will be engraved in history and handed down to future generations. Specifically, I will write a book about it and publish it. I want to make a lot of money through Alezelâs trading company.ã
ãHey, donât do that. Somehow I have a feeling Iâm going to be the one who gets the short end of the stick!ã
ãIs that so? Then Iâll keep it to myself.ã
ãSighâ¦.ã
ãAhaha, I guess Haruna will be interested in the main topic. You see, I came here bringing the topic about my trial.ã
ãAgalia-sanâs trial!?ã
Haru jumped up from the bed. My disciple sure is easy to understand.
ãNow, your master Deris will tell you about it.ã
ãHa? You leave the important part to others, huhâ¦.ã
ãShishÅ!ã
Haru urged me with sparkling eyes. I canât help but smile wryly.
ãLetâs seeâ¦. Haru, actually, itâs decided that I will be your last opponent.ã
ââââThe 86th day of training is over.
