I was in trouble, so I decided to summon a certain demon.

“Mr. Furukas, it’s been a while.”

Furukas, 50th in the hierarchy.

He was the first demon I summoned, and also the one who gave me all kinds of advice.

I summoned him again this time, hoping to ask him for advice.

Furukas was summoned as usual, in the form of an old man with a rusty spear and a weak horse.

“Are you in some kind of trouble, summoning me?”

Mr. Furukas seemed to see right through me, and laughed.

“Yes, actually, that’s right…….”

Then I explained to him the whole story of Oliax.

I summoned Oliax in order to learn astrology.

In that transaction, Oliax expressed his desire to kill Mrs. Minagros. I told him that I didn’t want him to kill Minagros after talking to him in person.

“Hmm, I see…….”

After listening to the explanation, Mr. Furukas closed his eyes and gestured thoughtfully.

“Oliax is a more intelligent demon than you think. If you explain it properly, I’m sure he’ll understand your thoughts.”

“I see…….”

I thought that Oliax’s desire to kill Minagros would not disappear even if I persuaded him, but since Furukas said this, I wonder if it is actually not so difficult to convince him.

“How about it, are you not convinced?”

“No, I think the only way we can convince each other is to talk it out, so I’m going to try.”

“That’s right. You never know what you can do until you try.”

Then Mr. Furukas nodded in satisfaction.

“It seems that you have gained the trust of many different demons.”

He then turned his attention to Fokalor and Orobas, who were standing behind me.

When their eyes met, Fokalor and Orobas bowed to Furukas.

“No, I’m the one being helped by the demons, I’m the one doing nothing.”

“Hmm, it takes talent and effort to get help from demons, and if you are not good at it, some of them may end up destroying themselves.”

Suddenly, I had a strange feeling that I had heard Furukas words somewhere before.

Yes, that’s right.

Minagros had said that, hadn’t she?

“This self-destruction, do you mean the demon?”

Minagros said that if you borrow the power of a demon badly, you will become possessed by the demon and become a demon.

“Oh, yes, some of them turn into demons.”

“Does that mean there is a possibility that I could become a demon?”

If it is possible for me to become a demon, then I need to take precautions.

“No, there is no problem with you. You can control the demon’s power even if you take it into your body. A person who cannot control the power of the demon will become a demon by himself.”

If you ask me, I’ve been using séances to unload demonic power into my body.

I guess I should be relieved that I had no problem with that.

“Thank you for all the information you’ve given me.”

I thanked Furukas after he had told me everything, and let him leave.

Next, I summoned Oliax.

“It seems you have made up your mind.”

The summoned Oliax said.

“Well, about Ms. Minagros…….”

Then I explained what I had actually seen and felt about Ms. Minagros.

“Well, she is remorseful and did not kill with malice. Besides, I think she will pass away in her lifetime soon even if you don’t kill her. So I don’t see the point in killing her.”

“I understand your thoughts, Norman.”

It seemed that my thoughts had been understood.

“But don’t you think this is not so simple, Mr. Norman?”

That’s right.

If we could easily come to terms with our emotions, there would be no such thing as hatred or murderous intent in this world.

I guess my explanation won’t work so well.

“However, I don’t mean to disregard your opinion, Norman, so I’d like to ask you for a favor.”

“What is it?”

“I would like to see Miss Minagros in person.”

“Well, that could work.”

If Oliax’s meeting with Minagros makes him want to kill her, we can stop him.

With that in mind, I agreed.
