[âOh, all that happened?]
I decided to explain to Rikku several things that happened to us.
Of course, I canât tell her everything, so I told some lies.
First of all, I donât know anyone but Aphrodite, of course since I was summoned to this world.
[Souta-kun, first I must say thank you. Thank you for saving Sheryl. She wasnât supposed to do something like that while I was away from Saint Bellâ¦]
[No. We both benefit from having saved her, so itâs okay.]
Originally, Sheryl and I met when slave traders were collecting her parentsâ debts.
Rikku-san seemed sad, thinking she was responsible for Sheryl falling into such a dilemma.
[⦠Thatâs why you are been accompanied by a monster, Carolina, who was trapped in Bakurajaâs shop.]
[Thatâs right, Caro isnât an evil demon like you think, Rikku-san!]
[Hmm⦠Iâve certainly heard very bad rumors about Bakuraja, your brave behavior is commendable.]
It was good.
Persuading her with my words, it seems that Rikku-san has believed what I said.
It seems I was able to hide what I wanted properly.
But soon after I calmed my heart down.
[But itâs a shame⦠no matter what the circumstances, I canât let a demon go.]
[What?!]
Rikku-san pulled a twin sword from his waist and jumped towards Carolina.
Carolina, who was surprised, quickly took up a fighting position, repelling Rikku-san.
[Wow!⦠Unlike before, you have a great speed of reaction! But your friends made me back off earlier anyway!]
[Rikku-san⦠Why?]
[Souta-kun, youâre committing a misunderstanding, there are no good demons in this world, sheâs just deceiving on you!]
[â¦â¦â¦â¦]
No!
Rikku-san is wrong.
I do not believe Carolina is an evil demon.
If Carolina was really an evil demon, she would have killed me for using her before.
[Now I know! Because of the way you fight⦠Youâre a veteran demon of the Demon Lordâs army! Right?]
[Caro is not like Rikku-san thinks!]
A veteran demon of the Demon Lordâs army?
Thatâs not true!
The gentle Caroline I know couldnât cooperate with an organization as terrible as the Demon Lordâs army.
Iâm sure Rikku-san is in a misunderstanding.
[Master, please stay back. Thereâs no point in saying that to someone who hates demons.]
[⦠I understand.]
Iâm going to trust Carolina as far as I can.
Thatâs why I decided to keep quiet to watch the two of them fight.
[Hmm, itâs a pretty strong attack for a human.]
I also noticed what Carolina said.
Rikku-san skillfully manipulates the two swords she has, even if you compare her to another human.
I who got a goddess and gained a lot of experience, my speed statistics could be on par with Rikku-san.
[Kuu. Reduce!]
[A good move, I must pay my respects to you⦠so I will fight seriously]
She stated immediately after Carolina attacked.
A pair of bat wings grew on her back, while two large fangs poked out of her mouth.

What was in front of me was someone who has abandoned his human form: Carolina has become a vampire.
In conclusion, the fierce fight between those two people will become really serious.
Carolinaâs fist, which was in vampire mode, hit Rikkuâs side.
[âGutsu!]
Apparently, Carolinaâs punch that exceeds 1000 in strength seems to have an unimaginable power.
[R-Rikku-san?]
Itâs too much!
Did she die from a blow?!
Rikku-san, who was attacked by Carolina, seemed to be in a daze, as well as having blood coming out of her mouth.
[Donât worry, I extended my hand at the moment of impact so as not to kill her.]
[Well, thatâs okay, I think thatâs good.]
[But⦠If you leave her as she is, she will lose her life in less than an hour because of the bleeding.]
[Thatâs not good at all!]
Carolina doesnât care at all about people other than me.
[Hey, Caro, can you use your magic to heal Rikku-sanâs wound?]
[Please, I must find out what she has! Certainly, my teacher is someone amazing⦠But for her to hate demons so much, there must be something happened!]
[I understand. I will take immediate action.]
I assumed that she had predicted this situation.
When I convinced Carolina, she worked on Rikku-sanâs treatment quickly. That way, we decided to wait for Rikku-sanâs wound to heal.
