"---Mm."
Finally Mio closed her eyes, as she made her resolve--- and entered a kiss
scene.
At this point, Basara could no longer brush it away. Therefore,
"....."
Making his resolve, Basara slowly brought his face closer to Mio's.
".............Stop."
Suddenly his arm was pulled from the side.
"Eh…. Yuki?"
At a glance, Yuki was holding his hand, it was unknown when she had shown
up.
"N- Nonaka? Why…!?"
"Cannot be careful enough… Stop seducing Basara."
"S- Seduce…? ---"
On Yuki's words, Mio's face turned red in a flash.
"N- No one was seducing him! Besides, first you rescue me, then you bother
me now. What's the deal!?"
"None in particular. I did save you, but I said nothing about giving Basara t
Basara inadvertently brightened up his expression on seeing the wrapped
pouch that Yuki held out.
"Good old days… Reminds me, you have always been good at cooking."
"I made a lot of your favorite side dishes."
"…H- Hold it. I was going to have lunch with Basara after this too."
Mio shouted objecting. Upon that, Yuki showed a victorious smile.
"…Eating air?"
At the moment she declared so.
"---Please leave it to me, Mio-sama!"
BAM! With a loud sound, the door of the rooftop yanked open.
And a little succubus girl--- Maria approached us in a straight line.
"Hey wait, how did an outsider like you get in here!"
"Such a silly question, Basara-san. It was a peace of cake with my adult
charm. After I begged them with 'My siblings forgot their lunches…" and
teary eyes, they let me in right away!"
"That's simply a crying chil---"
"Anyway! We have lunch boxes prepared as well! Come on, Mio-sama…
You cannot lose to this inexpressive childhood friend. Do that for Basara-san.
The Ahh~ one."
Opening the basket in her hands, Maria urged Mio.
However, in front of others, Mio couldn't be honest.
"D- Don't be stupid… Why would I do that for someone like him!"
She shouted and her body immediately trembled with a "Hau". The curse of
the Master and Servant Contract activated from her insolence.
"Again! You don't learn, do you!"
"It cannot be helped. Basara-san, please Ahh~ for Mio-sama… No, make her
say Ahh~"
"What're you saying with a straight face?"
"To solve the curse, of course. Please leave it to me. I thought this might
happen, so I prepared just the right dish--- No, the right object. Now Basarasan, take this thick sausage and shove it kind of roughly into her cute mout---
"
"As if I could! Besides, why should I help satisfy your succubus lust!"
"A bit late for that. We three already did something even more amazing
together. Even the other day, we three had a naked cake play in the ba---
Aww."
"…What do you mean?"
Yuki's voice, obviously filled with anger, interjected. Upon that, Maria
laughed with Fufufu.
"Do you not know? Not so long ago, Basara-san became Mio-sama's Master."
"N- No way… I, I'll neva allo' it."
Ah, Yuki snapped.
"Sorry, but please give up. At any rate, Mio-sama will now offer both her
body and soul to Basara-san--- Right in front of my eyes!"
"H- Hey, stop saying things on your own accord, Maria! I'll kill you a
hundred times!"
As her symptoms were shallow, Mio recovered from the curse and flared up
at Maria.
"Hey… girls."
At last the three girls started to quarrel, leaving Basara aside.
Therefore Basara made a single sigh--- But he suddenly changed his
expression into a peaceful one.
The scene before his eyes should actually give him a headache. It was
noisy… and so common, thus so precious. A daily routine with a happiness
called ordinary.
…Can I protect this?
He didn't have an answer to that yet. Because their fight had only just started.
Even so, Basara had sent Jin a mail last night to report the events.
That he, the son managed to protect the family and house while his father was
away.
There hadn't been a reply yet. Since it was his father, he might answer with
"You still have a lot to learn".
But, even so he would surely get a passing grade.
He was looking forward to what Jin would say to him, now that he faced his
past and stood up again.
He was already thinking up his words for a reply.
It were words of gratitude.
The son, who you protected by even throwing away your hero status in the
past.
Now-- He certainly protected a girl that only he could save.
Part 3
The ringtone of a cell phone sounded in the dark forest.
The place was in the demon realm. Actually it should've been a place where
radio waves didn't reach.
"---Hello?"
Pressing the button--- The former Hero of the great war, Toujou Jin picked
up the call.
"Oh, it's you… Yeah, I already know. 'Cause I got a mail from him."
Jin was talking about Basara's mail to the dialogue partner.
---Normally it was impossible to use human telecommunication equipment in
the demon realm.
However, during the great war the demon realm was infiltrated.
For that it was required to establish a way of communication as a lifeline, so
various measurements were taken.
With the change of times, the method changed and right now a cell phone had
a special magic chip, which turned it's own waves into frequencies and
enabled communication to another world.
"That's why I told you that there's no need to worry. Even without this case,
he would've stood up on the right occasion."
While Jin laughed,
"After all, Basara is my and--- their son."
Then he responded to the words of his communication partner.
"Well, I know you're worried about him… That's why I kept him at a
distance, where you can see him. Then look after Basara and the girls while
I'm away. Sorry, but it seems like it'll take a while longer here."
There he dropped his voice.
"Yeah. I really can't get in contact with 'her'. Wilbert is dead. I was worried
when she didn't even come to the meeting place at the crucial time, but… I
think she's hiding herself to not get found, since the current Devil Lord
changed."
Therefore,
"I'll try digging a bit deeper too. There's the matter with Mio too… There're
surprisingly a lot of things to do. Don't worry… Yeah, I'll contact Basara."
Then Toujou Jin cut the call and slowly started walking.
Leaving the corpses of the countless devils that had come after him behind,
his face showed a fearless smile.
Toujou Jin declared into the empty space.
"Don't get cocky from one success, Basara. You can't avoid it forever.
Because you can't escape from Mio, nor from your past and fate."
