Happy Monday!
Here’s the chapter, enjoy.
ED: Ignite
My eyes widened after Yoru said that.
Yoru was the right-hand man of the demon king, and that in itself gave him status.
For Yoru to even use such a courteous manner of speech, to go as far as use ‘-sama’ meant that she’s not your average demon.
「Un, un. You, aren’t you Black Cat–? What are doing in a place like this.」
At Latisneil’s words, Yoru’s eyes were wandering around.
『Aah, um…that’s….』
Seeing Yoru react like this, her violet pupils contracted, and she seemed like a child who was plotting something mischievous.
「Heeee~, I knew that the ‘Black Cat’ wouldn’t have died so easily, but I didn’t think that you would be contracted to a human…does tousan know about this?」
Tousan?
As I tilted my head in confusion, Yoru nodded, smiling bitterly.
After Latisneil glanced at me, she patted Yoru’s head.
「I see~! Then I won’t say anything. ‘Nice to meet you’, What is your name?」
It was as if I wasn’t even there, but I knew that Yoru felt relieved.
It was just like when Zeal-san was manipulated by Commander Saran.
『Nice to meet you. I am Yoru. Master-dono’s familiar.』
「‘Yoru’, huh. What a nice name.」
『Thank you.』
The two people who were putting on a show of meeting each other for the first time both looked up at me at the same time as if they had just remembered me.
「…now, it’s a rare festival for you too, let’s enjoy it?」
My arm was grabbed and pulled by the grinning Latisneil, as I telepathically asked Yoru for an explanation.
When I did so, Yoru gave a slight frown and looked up at me.
『I’ll properly explain it later. To Miss Amelia as well.』
For awhile now, Amelia had been standing there, not moving an inch, as she puffed out her cheeks.
I gave a wry smile when I saw her like that.
「Cheer up, Amelia.」
When I said that, she turned away in a huff.
It seems that she didn’t like Latisneil who was clinging onto me.
「It’s not like I’m in a bad mood. I just don’t like that Akira is womanizing. On her own, I think I’ve got a good impression of her.」
「There’s no way I would womanize, right? It’s a terrible misunderstanding. …do you like Latisneil?」
Amelia tilted her head in confusion and then nodded.
「Even though that girl is a demon, she doesn’t feel unpleasant. …besides, did Akira take a look at her status?」
I, could use that, I snapped my fingers.
Perhaps it was because I vowed to not use『Eye of the World』excessively, or that I barely check statuses, or maybe even because I was relaxed since I’m not in the middle of a battle, but I had forgotten that I had such a convenient special skill such as『Eye of the World』.
I immediately invoked『Eye of the World』and looked at Latisneil’s status.

「…」
Looking at her status, I unconsciously rubbed my eyes.
When I looked at Aulum Trace’s status, as I had felt the overwhelming magic power and strength from him, I could somehow understand those numerical values even though I was astonished.
However, in Latisneil’s case, rather than saying that her attack power was completely unexpected, it’d be more accurate to say that she was completely the opposite of her initial impression. You really can’t judge a book by it’s cover, as they say.
Indeed, the woman who smiled and waved at the other pageant contestants, the friendly woman who did not have the presence of someone strong, although her level was lower than Aulum Trace’s, I didn’t think that her initial status was high.
I felt absolutely no bloodl.u.s.t from her, and perhaps it was because of her special skill『Magic Power Suppression』, but I did not sense that maelstrom of a magic power that was characteristic of demons, so if Amelia never told me, I wouldn’t have noticed.
「Still, Akira should make it a habit of using『Eye of the World』.」
I looked away from Amelia who was peeking at my face, looking like she was scolding a child.
「Well, but….」
Certainly,『Eye of the World』was convenient.
To be able to sneak a peek at an opponent’s status would be especially advantageous in this world.
But, I frowned.
I could not forget about what happened that day when I first invoked『Eye of the World』.
I couldn’t remember everything clearly, but even so, I dream of it once in a while.
Kyousuke and the heroes were lying on the ground, not moving, and a person was standing in the middle of that, me.
What was that, I was afraid to know.
Was that actually the future, or was it one of many possibilities.
If I truly used『Eye of the World』, I would probably know immediately.
However, if the outcome was that I injured Kyousuke and the others, I wouldn’t be able to bear it.
