Somewhere on Phi.

For convenience, it is called the ‘Hall’.

“Wait, Jean-Jacques!”

The Akuma Jean-Jacques Ramon Douce was stopped by a cutting voice.

He could tell who was calling just by the voice, and he wanted to pretend he hadn’t heard it if possible… but if he did that, he might suddenly have his head cut off, so he had no choice but to turn around.

“Hey Leonor, it’s been a while.”

As expected, Leonor Uraca Alburquerque was there.

And the elf Elizabeth was also following behind her.

“Jean-Jacques, let me ask you this, you haven’t messed with Ryo in the Western Countries, have you?’’

Leonor placed her hands on her hips and looked like she was rebuking him.

However, that couldn’t be helped.

Because she knew Jean-Jacques’ personality very well.

When he sees an interesting person like Ryo, he can’t help but mess with him…

Of course this time, Leonor had told him in advance, ‘Do not touch him under any circumstances’, so he did his best to stay away from him.

Even when approaching ‘Those who know the Fallen’, he only did so when Ryo was not nearby.

Yes, it was a tremendous effort coming from Jean-Jacques.

And yet…

“Of course. I haven’t touched a finger of his.”

Jean-Jacques answered confidently.

Leonor looked at him suspiciously.

Then she turned around and asked.

“Elizabeth, isn’t Jean-Jacques lying?”

“Yes, he is lying.”

“Hey!”

Elizabeth immediately answered Leonor’s question, and Jean-Jacques couldn’t help but raise his voice.

“I knew it! Jean-Jacques, after I warned you that much!”

“No, wait, Leonor, it’s a misunderstanding! Elizabeth too. You should prioritize peace and answer, ‘He’s not lying’!”

“I’m sorry, Jean-Jacques-sama. It’s not my nature to lie.”

After saying that, Elizabeth bowed deeply.

“Wait, Leonor. Let me explain first.”

“What, an excuse? If you have one, I’ll listen.”

“Excuse… that word is a bit misleading, but sure, it’s fine. I’ll give my excuse. I indeed had a bit of a fight with Ryo… Hey, wait, Leonor, pull back that right hand that’s about to strike. We indeed fought, but it just progressed that way.”

“You probably tried to eat humans again, right? I’ve already told you we need humans to multiply, so don’t eat too much.”

Leonor sighed.

“No, no, it’s that, you know, that guy from the upper dimension who’s messing with the Western Countries. I was trying to eliminate that guy and I just ate a little to interfere…”

“Lies! I’m sure that’s not the full story.”

Jean-Jacques explained, and Leonor concluded.

Then, she turned around.

“Yes, he is lying.”

“Just as I thought!”

Elizabeth affirmed, and Leonor barked.

“Hey now, look here Elizabeth… Well, it’s not entirely true, but it was not really a lie either. In fact, ever since I started messing with him, the development of things in the Western Countries has become quite stagnant… I’m sure you want things to go back to how they used to be too.’’

“Hmm, I don’t doubt that either. However, he exists in a higher dimension… we can’t easily touch him either.”

“Well, you’re right. But Ryo and his party are very interesting. I don’t think their chance of turning things around is zero… In fact, I’ve been keeping an eye on that area even now.”

“Wow~, isn’t that unusual for Jean-Jacques?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I want the Western Countries to return to the way they were before.”

Leonor commented as if she was genuinely surprised, and Jean-Jacques, as if he had been told something unexpected, replied with a small sigh.

“It was a lot of fun when New was around. Even after he died, good times continued for several hundred years. During that time, just watching the fights between humans and vampires made my blood boil with excitement… it was a lot of fun… If only some of the people who worshiped him hadn’t messed around like this…’’

“It can’t be helped. Humans are special creatures after all. That’s true even for those in higher dimensions. Those who are separated from their energy supply source don’t want to disappear. If that’s the case, then they have no choice but to obtain a new kind of energy…”

Jean-Jacques thought about the past, and Leonor thought about the future.

“Is it a survival instinct? Even if that’s the case, I want them to do it somewhere that has nothing to do with me…”

“It can’t be helped that the Western Countries were the place they had the easiest access to. They’re far from omnipotent just by existing in a higher dimension. Furthermore, they can’t understand the situation here, which is in a different dimension. It’s just like we can’t understand their situation. There are many things we can’t help.’’

Jean-Jacques shook his head slightly, and Leonor shook her head in the same way.

The world seemed to be more complicated than people think.

“Well, that’s why I didn’t actively put my hands on Ryo!”

“I see. Next time I see Ryo, I’ll ask him. Depending on his answer, I’ll sock you!”

“Eh…”

“You heard me, Jean-Jacques. I’ve said it many times before, but Ryo is my prey! I’m the one who’s going to kill Ryo, so don’t touch him!”
