A white vapor rose from the demon’s body, proof that he was dying. The moment a demon breathed their last, so too would the last of their flesh fade. He was beyond saving now…

Jinta paused and wondered: Why had the thought of saving the demon come to him before the elation of victory? Was he reluctant to see this demon go?

“Ngh…” His own wounds were severe. Blood still flowed from the place where his left arm had been. He tried to apply pressure with his remaining hand but to little effect. At this rate, he would die of blood loss if he didn’t find something with which to tend to himself.

“You’re soaked in blood.” The demon, facing the ceiling, turned its neck to look at Jinta. A white vapor rose from him, and his voice was raspy, like air leaking from lungs. Death was close, and his breathing was labored. Despite all that, the demon looked calm.

“I’m better off than you,” Jinta scoffed, shoulders heaving as he breathed. He was only playing tough; truthfully, he was dipping in and out of consciousness from the pain. If he didn’t focus, he’d pass out completely.

“Ha, you got me there.”

“You seem pretty calm for someone who’s dying.”

“I’ve achieved my purpose. Death means nothing now.” The demon looked satisfied, at peace. Here he was on his deathbed, quietly waiting for the end, looking like he’d lived a life without regrets. It wasn’t the look of a man who’d lost. Jinta was about to question this again when the demon grinned cynically and, with utter calm, said, “The demon I was with, her power is called Farsight. She can use it to see distant places.”

Jinta had no idea what the demon was prattling on about but listened anyway. These were the demon’s last words, and he didn’t seem the type to talk nonsense. They may have fought to the death just moments prior, but Jinta still had respect for the demon.

“She can also use her power to see the shapeless future ahead. My companion saw two things this time with her power: One was the advent of the Demon God, our lord, in Kadono’s distant future.”

The Demon God? Jinta wondered. It sounded absurd, but, again, would this demon lie? If this was the truth, Jinta couldn’t ignore it. If a single superior demon had left him in such a state, what could he possibly do against this Demon God, however strong they must be?

“The other thing she saw was that the one who will become the Demon God, more than a hundred years hence, lives in Kadono today. That is why we’ve come.”

Jinta did not know who this person who’d become the Demon God was—the future should only be known to the gods, after all—but he did know of a demon who lived in Kadono. He recalled the words of the female demon: “Perhaps he’s on his way to becoming a spirit after spending so much time with one of ours. Y’know, what’s-her-name… Suzune-chan?” He hadn’t realized it then, but something had been off.
