"That's right, so there's no need to be so reserved. It's okay to be more casual."
"...Um."
After a long silence, Asia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded vigorously to Ryan.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ryan."
Ryan just smiled in response to Asia's thanks.
The two walked through the vast courtyard of the palace and headed towards the back garden.
On the way, Asia asked Ryan with an expression as if she had remembered something.
"By the way, Mr. Ryan...Excuse me, do you know a devil named Diodora?"
"Diodora, who is that?"
After searching his memory and having no recollection at all, Ryan asked back.
"It's a devil I rescued. Does he also live in this underworld?"
Asia said.
....ah.
It turned out to be that rubbish that caused Asia to be labeled as a 'witch'.
Ryan finally remembered the guy who was crushed to death by his kick today.
"There really is such a devil."
"So, is he okay now?"
Asia had no hatred towards the 'culprit' who caused her to be tabooed by everyone, and instead asked about his situation.
"He's doing fine."
Ryan smiled, but his smile was a little creepy.
"Because of his good performance, I gave him a long vacation."
Yes, the eternal sleep vacation called 'death'.
"I see..."
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the courtyard behind the palace.
"——Ah! Ryan-sama!"
A light and pleasant voice was heard, and a young cat- girl with a pair of cat ears ran over with a surprised expression on her face.
"Ryan-sama, Ryan-sama! Today I learned the magic technique that my sister taught me... Eh? Who is this sister?"
Shirone ran up to Ryan and told him about today's achievements. When she saw the blonde nun next to him, she blinked in confusion.
"She's Asia, and she's here to play with you."
Ryan explained to Shirone with a smile.
Hearing this, Asia on the side also realized that the cat girl in front of her was the "work" object with a similar life to her.
With a gentle smile on his face, he walked forward and took the initiative to greet Shirone.
"Hello, my name is Asia Argento, um... please take care of me."
"Hello, I'm Shirone."
Perhaps influenced by the girl's unique and gentle aura of a saint, Shirone was stunned for a moment before she revealed a brilliant smile.
"Sister Asia, are you human?"
"Yes, yes!"
Being of similar age and experience, the two little girls quickly became friends.
Ryan watched this scene with pleasure.
"Ryan-sama."
Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind. Ryan turned around and saw Grayfia standing there in a maid outfit.
"Grayfia, what's the matter?"
Ryan looked at Gurefia and asked with a chuckle.
"Our army is ready to go and awaits your presence."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go right away."
As he spoke, Ryan turned around and faced the two girls, one white and one gold.
"Asia, Shirone, I have to leave for a while. You two must get along well."
"Yes, I know! Ryan-sama!"
"Bon voyage, Ryan-sama."
After temporarily saying goodbye to the girls who were getting along well with each other, Ryan, followed by Grayfia, walked towards the combat headquarters.
"Ryan-sama, who was that child just now?"
The person Grayfia was asking about was, of course, the blonde nun, Asia, who had just been with Shirone.
"Her name is Asia. She can be considered as my future 'family member'. Remember to take good care of her."
"Yes, I understand."
Ryan then added one more thing.
"By the way, there was a guy named Diodora in the Astaroth family. I killed him today."
"clear."
There was no change in Gurefia's expression.
As long as it is the king's decision, the king naturally has his own ideas about who he wants to kill. As a follower, Grayfia chooses to understand and support him unconditionally.
After saying this, Ryan raised his head and looked at the quiet sky.
"So..."
The tenderness he had shown towards the girl just now disappeared, replaced by the coldness and cruelty of a devil king of "absolute evil".
Let's start conquering the entire underworld.
