「Welcome back! Everyone from〈S.T.E.L.L.A〉has left already.」

Libra opened the door to greet them. For some reason, they had changed into a butler outfit. Libra had managed to look like a girl wearing a butler outfit and a boy wearing one at the same time. Although, the sleeves were a bit long and made them look cute rather than serious.

"I won't ask about the outfit change, but where are Rigor and Sekuren?"

「They are still in the lab.」

"...Is that so?"

Cole handed Eva over to Felicia and hanged his suit jacket on a nearby chair. He brought Libra with him into the laboratory and as expected, Rigor was enthusiastically chatting with the Hero. Although it was quite one-sided due to the often interjections of his party members.

Rigor's appearance had changed into a young man with black, somewhat bluish hair and pale blue eyes with slightly pointed ears. His skin tone was also quite pale but he looked quite fine.

As for Sekuren, he had a head full of light green hair and his eyes were a splendid golden colour. His ears were also somewhat pointy like Rigor's but he looked like an innocent child nonetheless.

"So, Sir Hero. What's it like being trapped in a cell together with your party members.

Rigor's smile looked a bit scary and was more of a sneer depending on how you looked at it. Sekuren was in the small kitchen space preparing some tea.

"I wonder why he let roaches like you into a single cell. Well, it's not like you'd be able to escape even if you worked together."

Rigor scoffed at Sir Hero. His voice sounded like it was full of ridicule for the party. Sir Hero glared at him while his party members hid behind his back. Cole felt that their presence was really thin. But by that, he meant their presence as people. They felt a bit like puppets or at least that was what his intuition was telling him.

"Well, that's just because it would be a waste of space."

"Eh? Sir Cole? You're here already?"

Cole appeared behind Rigor and put a hand on his shoulder. He jolted in surprise and turned his head back to Cole.

His fiendish look disappeared and he didn't appear all that terrifying anymore. Cole scooted Rigor away to the kitchen and observed the trapped Hero party.

The girls whispered about how it was he who had struck down the Dragon or some shit into Sir Hero's ears. His eyes widened a bit in shock but they didn't seem at all inviting towards Cole.

'Black hair. Black eyes. Yellowish skin and common Asian eyes...'

Cole put a hand to his chin and thought. He fake coughed and said in an awkward tone.

"I'm sorry about Rigor. He acts like that but he just really admires Heroes."

They didn't seem to have any intention of forgiving Rigor's actions and still seemed quite angry. Cole put on an amiable smile and knelt down. Sir Hero sent a glare his way but Cole paid it no heed. He pretended as if he needed a bit of practice and then spoke out.


"〈What's your name?〉"

"!〈My name is Sekizahara, Yuuichi! Ah, but please, call me 'Yuu.' Is Sir Japanese as well?〉"

Yuu's once distrustful face quickly eased into one of comfort. The language of his former home made him feel at peace and a bit of nostalgia.

The language that was mainly spoken in the〈Fantasia Zone〉was English. It was the same with the〈Times Zone〉and〈Avant Zone〉. The〈Huaxia Zone〉was well, Huaxia. Yuu's English was perfect and you couldn't hear a single bit of a Japanese accent.

Cole assumed that it was probably due to his status as a Hero, and probably a summoned at that. But that raised a question in Cole's mind. If he was summoned from the〈Times Zone〉or〈Avant Zone〉, that would obviously cause an issue if he were to be ever found out.

If he was a transmigrator, he probably would have introduced himself with his new name. He also wouldn't have such Asian features because his companions all looked European or at least Western.

"〈I'm not Japanese but my grandmother is.〉"

"〈Now, Yuu. I have a question. Were you born in the〈Fantasia Zone〉?〉

"〈No, I was summoned. I was very shocked and surprised at first.〉"

'That a guy like you could be a hero? And that you only had seen stuff like that in manga and anime?'

"〈I never expected that a guy like me could be a hero... I had only seen stuff like that in manga and anime...〉"

Yuu awkwardly scratched his head and let out a sheepish smile. Cole thought that he was pretty stupid. He had immediately let down his guard in front of him. He also seemed to have forgotten that it looked like that he was familiar with the Demon THAT WAS STILL STANDING IN FRONT OF HIM.

Well, whatever. It simply made Cole's job easier.

"Well, I'm sorry for having to keep you in a place like this. It's just that my daughter is really scared of strangers. She's only 5 after all..."

Cole let a bit of his family information slip out. Considering the fragments of info he had about Yuu's personality, he would probably grow interested. He also wouldn't be able to see Cole only as a random stranger, but a person with a family.

"Eh, Cole-san has a daughter?!"

Just as Cole guessed, Yuu grew curious and the light in his eyes changed slightly. He ignored the disappointed faces of his party members and continued on.

"Hm? Is that weird?"

"No, it's just that you look so young... How old is Cole-san by the way?"

"23."

Yuu's head blanked for a moment. He knew that Cole looked quite young and he had expected him to be around 28 at least due to his mature tone and way of speaking.

'Wait, if Cole-san is 23 and his daughter is 5...'

Surprisingly, Rigor and Sekuren weren't that surprised by that fact. Well, I guess being a Demon means that you would have seen or done some pretty weird stuff or at least that was Cole's explanation for their lacklustre reaction.

He knew that sounded like prejudice and it could be otherwise but while walking through the streets of the〈Demon Realm〉, he could see some shady things being done in the dark alleyways. If Cole could see it, there would be no way the numerous Demons roaming through the streets wouldn't.

"Anyway, I'm sorry for keeping you five locked inside here for a while. I can let you out but you should stay the night. It probably must have been a tiring journey to get here from the〈Fantasia Zone〉"

Yuu gratefully accepted his offer and Cole had Libra guide them upstairs. After waving them a quick goodbye, Cole turned to Rigor and Sekuren.

"Sir Rigor, Sekuren."

"Yes?"

"What is it, Esteemed Sir?"

"If you don't mind a little bloodshed and maybe a tortured scream, you're free to watch me. But if not..."

Cole walked towards the sleeping Russian's cell. Cole thought his effort to pretend that he was sleeping was wasted. It would've fooled a normal person but not him. Cole placed his hand on the glass wall and muttered something out.

"!"

In an instant, the Russian opened his eyes and moved to the side. Not even half a second later, black spikes emerged from the floor cutting up his bed into bundles of cotton and roughed-up fabric.

"I suggest you leaving."

Cole crouched down and stared at the man who was panting heavily in the corner of his cell. He leaned his head on his hand and said with a playful smile.

"Let's have some fun, comrade."

Unfortunately, the smile didn't reach his eyes.
