Everyone was quite curious about Hiromi's "big brother"—someone I knew very well.
"Well, we haven't spent as much time together as I would've liked, but... we get along just barely fine," Hiromi sighed.
"Just barely fine?!" Erika asked. "Come on, tell me more about your big brother..."
"Y-You said he was a Devil?" I asked, still trying to process everything. "What kind of Devil? Wait... do Devils actually exist in this world?"
"Like you, they're distant descendants of people who once mingled with demons," Hiromi explained. "Hell has always had a connection to our world—more so in the past than now. Demons would sometimes emerge here, taking over a mortal's body and using it as an avatar to... well, seduce an unsuspecting woman, too enchanted by their magic to realize what they truly were. By the time they vanished, it was already too late. That's how many humans with Devil or Demon bloodlines came to be."
