"So, Abner, can you tell me what is going on now?"

After the joke was over, a cheerful Jane reluctantly asked Abner the previous question. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

“...... I'm sorry, but I still think it's better for me and Miss Jane not to tell Miss Jane about this—sincerely. ”

Looking at the sincere, gentle, bright chestnut eyes, Abner was slightly silent for a moment, and then replied firmly.

He believed that Jane had no ill will towards him, and it was even possible that it was for his good. But, whether it was machismo and boring self-esteem, or the traverser's disorientation, he was reluctant to let Jane know about it in any case—at least, until the results of the test were known.

- If the result is a failure, it's best not to let Jane know.

"For the sake of me and you......"

With her white slender fingers entwined around her long purple hair, Jane chewed on Abner's words and suddenly smiled at him, as if she were holding a pearl of wisdom:

"Could it be that my sister did 'that' to you?"

Did ...... be guessed again? Should I say that I was unexpectedly easy to understand, or should I say that Jane was worthy of being a genius of the academy?

-No.,She's just a good actor.,Teenager.〜

"That seems to be the case. Seeing Abner's expression, Jane's smile became more comfortable—but her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was a little helpless: "Sister, she's still like this! Always doing things excessively to the people around me regardless of my feelings—what did she ask you to do this time?"

"There's no word yet—but Mr. Benjamin says Lord Katrin will put me to the test in the near future. Abner, who felt from Jane's words that she had guessed what had happened, replied honestly, but ......

"--Miss Jane also knows about this?"

“...... Well. After all, it's something related to me, and it's impossible for her sister not to tell me, otherwise if there is any misunderstanding, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

After a suspicious silence, Jane replied with a smile.

"Well, indeed!" Abner found Jane's statement convincing: even between sisters, poor communication could lead to misunderstandings—and as for the silence of the mystery that preceded it, he ignored it as a matter of course.

"But...... Abner, are you really ready? If you don't want to, I can go and ask my sister to cancel this test. ”

“？”

"Sister, their test is very difficult-although it will be good for you, but ......" After a moment's hesitation, Jane still decided to tell the truth: "If you don't pass, you won't be able to stay in the royal capital in the future." ”

"Can't stay in the royal capital, where will it go?" Abner wondered where his seniors had been sent.

“...... Principality of Thun. There was silence a little more—Jane felt that she had been silent today for the most time in her history, but in order not to violate her conscience, lest Abner suffer unnecessary losses, she had to make things clear: "It was the fiefdom of my sister and her friends, and because she had experienced a war a few years ago, there was a great shortage of talents in all kinds of ways—although in the past and in the future she would have been treated preferentially, but the conditions there were very difficult, and you could not buy anything with gold, it is said that ...... Even the Grand Duke could not eat meat every day," he glanced at Abner, "only a little better than some disorderly and chaotic areas." ”

“......”

The fiefdom of Catelyn and her friends......

Although he already knew that His Excellency was powerful and powerful, it was an entire principality that was used as the preserve of those people, and Abner felt the need to raise Katrin's challenge level even more.

But even the Grand Duke can't eat meat every day...... That's kind of ...... Supporting the development of Part X?

I'm confident in myself, but if I fail, I'll be thrown into the principality where birds don't...... It doesn't seem like a good future!

But if that's it...... Will it be looked down upon?

So, let's put yourself in their shoes...... If she is Jane's sister, one of the nine Electors of the Duchy of Thun, she hears that a poor boy is approaching her sister, so she decides to test him, if she is particularly good, stay with her sister, and if she is generally good, throw it into the fief to promote the development of the fief. However, the poor boy asked his sister to intercede and let him stay with him...... Do you look down on me, or my fiefdom, or do you have some bad intentions against my sister?!

Nima, can you bear this?!

Must be exterminated!!

"Let me ask...... If you were tossed over, you wouldn't be left there forever, would you?"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Abner asked, a little scared.

"Hmm. Jane nodded—even if it wasn't clear what Abner's choice was—but it was okay to tell him the truth: "The maximum term is ten years, but if you do well, you can shorten it somewhat." ”

It turned out to be a fixed-term prison sentence, and if you behave well, you can reduce the sentence. And I heard Jane say that the treatment will be very good after going there-although the conditions will be more difficult.

Let's do it! Let's see what kind of problems the genius of this world will set up!

"Then there's no problem. ”

With a long breath, Abner was refreshed and said confidently and introvertedly: "Anyway, I am a man who wants to become a great sage, if I retreat in the face of the first challenge, what qualifications do I have to pursue my ideals?"

“...... Hehe. ”

After staring at him for a moment, Jane chuckled suddenly, and there was something unclear in her chestnut eyes—but definitely not malice or anything like that, "Then I'll see, Mr. Abner." ”

"Stay tuned. Abner replied confidently.

"However, before we do that, shouldn't we finish today's sword practice first?"

“......”

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

The seventh level of hell, Desnathan, in the cold, silent hall of Melgard.

"The two Highnesses, Kyle Aubreon and his friend Catherine Casdia, have entered the realm of the Scorching Grand Duke. ”

Kneeling on one knee, a high-level demon who was considered a peerless stunner in the mortal world, reported to the two demons sitting on a huge black seat with high backs and wide armrests.

The first is the Shadow Grand Duke Stoklas, a deep hell purgatory who wears a magma-like red robe, has wide batwing wings, a thick tail, and two horns that bend back, and looks extremely strong and evil!

Second, in order to wrap his entire body in a black robe, only a pair of strange golden eyes peek out from behind the white mask - the Kamen Grand Duke!

！

And the scorching Grand Duke mentioned by the Demon of Lust is the lord of the second layer of hell, Aldas, an extremely ancient devil.

"Is it already on the second floor......? In this way, in two months, they will be here...... When the time comes, it's time for the plan to begin......"

The blackened figure made such a strange voice with a mad and sick tone like a psycho - or a pervert.

"Monitor at all times, don't be exposed. ”

Another Grand Duke, who was more than five meters tall, commanded in a dull voice.

The voice fell——

"Hehe...... Stoklas, are you ordering my subordinates?"

With this evil voice, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to become strange and sinister.

"I'm ordering 'our' subordinates, masked. Ignoring the dangerous eyes of his colleagues, the Hellpurgatory still sat on his throne: "Don't forget the orders of His Majesty, Lord of Hell, - the commander of this operation is me, not you. As long as it is the devil who belongs to this operation, I can command it. ”

"Hehe...... Do I have to obey your commands?"

"Yes. Even you - as long as necessary. ”

Silent staring at each other, between the two big devils, the killing machine is about to erupt. The air seemed to become viscous, and even the dark green flames in the surrounding torches seemed to beat slowly......

“...... Well, your will awaits you at any time, Your Highness Stocras. Amazing ......"

In the midst of the evil and sickly chuckle, the black-robed figure fluctuated, faded, and finally disappeared.
