After a moment of silence, Nephira shouted out to Serphiano in her crystal ball.


    "Suzuki does not need demon training!! He is already more than enough, even too much of a nefarious demon!!"


    "No, No, What are you talking about? Suzuki is a cute human, isn''t he?"


    "T-That is not the case! Suzuki''s recent behavior has already been so inhumanly nefarious that even I am not sure what to make of it."


    "Yes, yes. Well, you see. The other day, he was babbling on <em ss="chakra-text css-0">yap yap</em> about something at the Demon Lord''s Army''s campaign meeting, wasn''t he? Something like, ''Don''t kill humans <em ss="chakra-text css-0">yap</em>!'' That kind of thing is not good!"


    (Uugh–! I knew it! I shouldn''t have allowed Suzuki to speak!)


    "T-That was something of a joke, or an obscenity, that sort of thing!"


    "I don''t think that was an obscenity, no matter how much you want to call it that. Anyway, Suzuki''s invitation to the Imperial Capital was ordered, as usual, by Lord Demon Lord."


    (<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Gu</em>–! It pains me to hear you say that!)


    "If so, then. I will go with him!"


    "Deni—ed. This time, Suzuki alo—ne."


    "Huh–…? I-I-Idiot! If you are not allowing me to apany him, then I can''t let him go! What if Suzuki goes alone and bes lost?! He''ll die of hunger!"


    "If he gets hungry, he will eat something by himself, won''t he? Denied, Deni—ed. No matter what you say, it is not allow—ed."


    "<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Guuh</em>–!"


    "Honestly. Nephira is themander of the Thunder-Lance Charge, right? Let Suzuki stand on his own a little more… <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Gobyu</em>–… oh, my. The blood vomiting has started."


    Crystal ballmunication consumed arge amount of the caller''s magic. The long duration of the call was taking a toll on the caller''s health.


    Even so, Serphiano seemed to be ustomed to it and showed a calm expression.


    "Well then, I guess I''d better get going. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Gobyu</em>"


    "Not allowed! Before that, please allow me to go with Suzuki!"


    "<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Gobyu–Gobyu</em>. No, like I said is not allowed."


    "Dame Serphiano!! Please authorize me to apany him!!"


    "You are persistent, aren''t you? — I''m hang—ing off from my crystal ball. Bye-bye Nephi—ra Ah, huh–?"


    "I WON''T let you go until you approve!"


    Before she knew it, a golden aura overflowed from Nephira''s body. The crystal ball was soon covered with a love-battle aura that burst through the space.


    "C-Communication is not disconnecting!? This is ridiculous!! Could it be that the crystal ball is reacting to Nephira''s lightning magic?! <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Gobyupopopo</em>!!"


    "Dame Serphianooooo!!"


    "Y-You must no—t!! You are themander of the Thunder-Lance Charge!! You need to be self-aware of your own actions <em ss="chakra-text css-0">GobyuUUUUuuu</em>!"


    The "I''ll apany him" and "Not allow—ed" continued for several minutes until Serphiano was spewing blood out of every hole in her body.


    Eventually, Serphiano, covered in blood, screamed out in frustration.


    "<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Ogohee, Gobabyu</em>! Understood, Understood!! I already understood! The crystal ballmunication, let me cut it oooff! <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Gohagehe</em>–!!"


    "R-Really, right?"


    "I''ve lost, <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Gobyu</em>, <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Gobyu</em> and <em ss="chakra-text css-0">byu</em>! That''s why! The crystal ball..."


    "I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Dame Serphiano!"


    "I''m d with your gratitude, so hurry up! In terms of danger level, it would be already at the maximum level FIVEE! <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Uuuaaaaaaa</em>!! My throat itcheeeeees!! I''m starting to see hallucinatioooons!!"


    Serphiano''s throat ripped open, and she was shedding tears of blood. Nephira, almost relieved, suddenly realized.


    (No, wait! All that Dame Serphiano had said was, "I understood" and "I''ve lost"! Dame Serphiano is the Demon Lord''s Army''s most intelligent strategist! It could be an act! I have to make sure she doesn''t try to overturn her decisionter!)


    Nephira red at Serphiano, who was covered in blood and screaming, "It''s Leveeeel Five!" incessantly.


    "Dame Serphiano… Final confirmation. Are you really, for real, positive… allowing me to apany Suzuki, as well, right…?"


    "Do you, have eaaaaars!! Since a while ago, I''ve been saying that I''m at <em ss="chakra-text css-0">ebe</em>f 5, haven''t I <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Gaa–Hee</em>–!!"


    "If that''s the case, I need you to clearly state ''Nephira can apany Suzuki''!"


    "Nephira <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Goboge–Sha</em>!! Can apany Suzuki Byurubyu–!! Please, hurry up and let me disconneeeeeeeeeeeect!! I''m dyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!"


    After assuring her statement, Nephira removed her hand from the crystal ball. At the moment the video cut out, all three of Serphiano''s eyes were seen rolling back, showing the whites of her eyes. Apparently, it was neither an act nor a strategy.


    (Yes. I did a bad thing. I''m really sorry.)


    After a little reflection and a deep sigh, Nephira left her quarters.


    (<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Haa</em>. Again. To the Imperial Capital. I just went there recently.)


    Nephira sighed, thinking she had to repeat the same back and forth from Leirune to the Imperial Capital.


    (N-No, that''s not what is happening! Let''s change the way I think! That''s right! It''s revenge fromst time! This time, I''m going to be even friendlier with Suzuki!)


    The thought of flirting with Suzuki made her hearts swell with excitement. Then, Nephira gradually began to enjoy her delusions more and more. The demons who passed by her muttered as they saw Nephira advancing down the corridor with a sly smile on her face.


    "H-Hey! Lady Nephira is smiling at us!"


    "Lady Nephira, who rarely smiles except when battle is…!"


    "She must be fired up for revenge against the Salvation Crusaders!"


    "It''s gonna rain blood…!"


    (<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Ufufu</em>! Wait for me, Suzuki! Not a moment too soon, we will flirty flirt and flirt!)


    While the Thunder-Lance Charge demons were misunderstanding her, Nephira clenched her fists.
