“Zagan. Wanna make a deal with me?”

Around that time, Zagan was faced with a choice. It was a rare and suspicious invitation, but his answer couldn’t have been more obvious.

“No.”

“Isn’t it mean to refuse outright?”

“Then let me ask you this, what part of our conversation made you think I’d accept?”

Every word Asmodeus muttered was a pain to listen to and she was as suspicious as anyone could be. Her behavior had been more than enough for him to never want to get involved with her. He wasn’t punching her simply because she was Foll’s friend. That didn’t make her worth negotiating with, however.

“Why are you such a bully?” Asmodeus asked, her eyes wide as if she was hurt by his words. “Didn’t you happily make a deal with my disciple?!”

“Take a look at Vepar and figure out the differences between you two. He fusses over making a proper trade because he’s surrounded by people who are incapable of it, chief among them being you. I doubt I can make any worthwhile deal with you.”

“I’m the one who raised him to be so upright!”

Even as she objected, she had to know this was a case of learning from a bad example. Asmodeus’s eyes wandered off into the distance.

“If you understand, get lost and go see Foll,” Zagan said.

He saw her as no more than a present to improve his daughter’s mood. It was enough of a compromise for him to let her go unharmed. And yet, Asmodeus got impudently cocky.

“Aww, you sure you can be so cheeky?” she asked. “I won’t save you even if you beg for it.”

“If you’re referring to Samyaza, then your help is unnecessary. How can I make Nephy happy if I’m incapable of handling it myself?”

“I don’t know where your confidence is coming from, but it seems you’re misunderstanding me here.”

“What are you trying to say...?” Zagan asked, raising his brow at her strange conviction.

“Zagan, don’t you believe a fight is about numbers?”

“I agree there, but what does... Wait, don’t tell me...”

A chill ran down his spine.

“Yup, bingo. At this rate, come summer, the whole continent will be a festival of demons.”

Zagan was aware that demons were manifesting across the land. He also understood they were doing so with accelerating frequency. Even so, it seemed he didn’t have the time to take things easy.

Dammit. Is that why she waited for the demons to appear?

If she’d shown up offering information on demons, Zagan probably would’ve turned her away without listening. However, after Samyaza and several other demons had invaded his domain, Zagan had no choice but to focus on dealing with them.

Now Asmodeus was bringing him a deal, emphasizing that Zagan’s current methods were doing little more than buying time. Well, it was an Archdemon’s way to go for victory no matter the circumstances. Zagan acknowledged that Asmodeus had duped him. Seeing that he was intent on listening to her now, Asmodeus played with her spoon while making a serious expression.

“Zagan, you’re definitely strong. There aren’t many Archdemons capable of taking a demon down in one punch.
