"Albert, Emerada, what are you two doing here?" Emilia said with a surprised and happy expression on her face while looking at Albert whose face was pale and nauseous from the journey through the gate that connected Ente Isla and this world.
As for Emerada, he simply shouted "Emilia!" and started running towards her and hugging her quickly while saying "I miss you"
"I miss you too..." Said Emilia who suddenly felt that not all of her past was a lie that comforted her broken heart.
"Wait on! are the four of them who I think they are..." The nauseated Albert suddenly realizes that the Maou, Ashiya, and Lucifer are in their human form so it takes some time to recognize them, whereas for Olba, he is beaten to the point of being unrecognizable. he only identified her from her witch robes and her shiny bald head.
"They are not our enemies .." replied Emilia in surprise as Emerada looked at her strangely.before she suddenly felt cold and when she turned around, she looked back, he saw a creepy-looking man standing near the demon lord and looking at him with a strange smile.
'Who is this guy? He gave me goosebumps' He instinctively positioned his body to hide it behind Emilia who brought a helpless smile to Yuki's face as she let the hero chase after her friends and turned to the Maou instead.
"Maou-san, what do you want to do with the two of them?"
Hearing this question, Maou simply shrugged and said, "I'm responsible for this idiot's actions as his superior so I'll take him with me, whereas for Olba, I don't really care, I don't really care, she doesn't have magic anymore so I can't bother with her existence anymore, Emilia can deal with it as she pleases"
"Haaa, wait dear neighbor, you really want to bring this bastard to stay at Villa Rosa? You know he almost killed me, right?" Yuki said urgently because more importantly, she remembered the hatred Lucifer had for her after he had properly sneaked attacked her and melted her eyes.
"Don't worry, I promise he won't do anything stupid anymore. Isn't that Lucifer?" Said Maou while hitting Lucifer on the head.
"Yes boss ..." He replied with barely audible words from his swollen mouth.
"Alright, I'll trust you for now" Yuki replied as she shrugged her shoulders suddenly on someone's side and said, "Son, you know that these people are dangerous right?"
It was Emerada who was bending her head from behind Emilia after she explained the situation to him, especially the shocking news of Olba's actions that would require some investigation when they returned to Ente Isla, he was surprised that a human would actually trust a demon lord so easily after such a big incident.
"Huh... Not really, they're my beloved neighbors" yuki said with a sinister smile as she wrapped her hands around Maou's shoulder while thinking about what she should steal from them next and Maou's white face turned a little pale like Albert's.
'Is this person a demon in disguise?' emerada thought as he hid behind Emilia again who said "I have to go now, I'll take Olba with me" before he turned to Yuki and said with a sincere smile that surprised everyone "Thank you for everything Yuki"
Yuki was surprised at first but then she just smiled and said, "There's no need to thank when you help a friend" and hearing him say this brought a faint smile to Emilia's face which prompted Emerada to shoot her with a strange look that made Emilia embarrassed so she quickly dragged her team-mates back to her apartment with Olba to discuss their future plans.
"Maou-san, we have to leave as well, this place is getting crowded and I want to ask you a few things about magic..." said Yuki who knew that Maou had a lot of suspicions about how she used magic and her increased body strength.
"You're right, but I can barely move..." Said Maou who could barely stand up due to the strength of her will and heard him say this, Chiho looked at him anxiously but Yuki did not care at all because she just turned around and carried him on her back "Let's go"
"Hey, don't take my master like a sack of potatoes" Ashiya said as she dragged Lucifer along with her, but Yuki just glared at him and he fell silent.
"Ehhhh" Chiho's face suddenly flushed red as she started to have all sorts of dirty ideas, but everyone ignored her as Ashiya brought Lucifer and started to return to Rosa Villa Sasazuka.
--------
Back to apartment 201, Yuki and the two demons first started discussing the matter with Chiho about her knowing their identities and she insisted on not changing her memories because she liked Maou no matter what it was.
And after he left, they finally started discussing the real riddle that was Yuki as Maou curiously asked, "Yuki-kun, what's wrong with you..."
He really did not know what to ask first.This child in front of him woke up his magic, obtained a magic core that could use black magic, and also became physically stronger, as well, everything within the span of a single day.It is incredible to say the least, not to mention the barrier blocking them.
"I'll be honest with You, I have special powers that give me certain benefits depending on the risks I take ... But this is a big double-edged sword, and others in my position would probably die now if they weren't as smart as I am..." yuki said with a tired expression on her face while cursing her system nonstop inside her head.
"Is this related to the barrier that kept us sealed when this bastard tried to kidnap Chiho?" Maou said as she looked at Lucifer angrily as Lucifer simply turned to look the other way not wanting to get beat up again.
"Yes, I was given a mission to stop Chiho's abduction until 8:30 am and I was rewarded with increased physical strength when I achieved this. But you can imagine how difficult that would be for a normal human being..." Yuki said with a sigh.and neither Maou nor Ashiya could help but nod in admiration at what their neighbors achieved with very little strength.
"It's useless ..." Ashiya said to Lucifer for failing to deal with humans. Lucifer quickly replied "Silent Alciel, you don't see how crafty this guy is ..."
But Ashiya suddenly recalled how she was almost impaled by her own knife that Yuki had stolen as well as how she tricked them from a set of tea so as to leave only a cup for the two of them and Ashiya suddenly feeling that Lucifer's fate wasn't really bad.
Maou ignored the two idiots and solemnly said, "You said you have to hold them off until 8:30, but the barrier completely disappeared before that time"
'This guy is as smart as ever'' thought Yuki in awe before he replied, "You're right, I saw how you guys tried to break the barrier but nothing happened, but I guess when I was under the rubble and Lucifer started attacking him, th-"
"Call me Hanzo in this world" said Lucifer interjected to tell him the fake name he used in this world but Ashiya just slapped him in the back of the head and said "Silence, no one cares"
Maou seemed to think before he said, "Can't you just ignore this mission? I'm sure it'll be safer for you than risking your life like that"
"I hope so, but as I said, they are double-edged swords, and if I don't complete the mission given to me. I will die regardless of Hanzo's actions!"
Maou's eyes suddenly narrowed as the room became quiet and they felt sorry for what this child had to go through, including Hanzo who Yuki tried to approach using his fake name.
"Calling this double-edged sword is an understatement..." Ashiya said with a sigh and Maou agreed with her.
"Well, on the other hand, I might be stronger than any human in this world right now and even awakened magic, she said, and this brings me to what I want to ask of you two ... Can you teach me how to use magic.?
"I think we can, but it will be difficult because the world lacks mana..." Maou said to Yuki, "Don't worry, go for a walk with me outside and you'll recover in no time..."
'Unfortunately right.' Maou thought as she looked at the mummified appearance of Yuki. Imagine someone whose peak has a strength of 100 points, yet he only has 6 points instead.
It was like a normal human who had a strength of 0.06 points, which was why his appearance was getting worse. But the bright side was that when he started practicing, his attributes would increase rapidly!
"Of course, I can teach you when I don't have a job, and I guess Ashiya doesn't mind either" Maou said, and Ashiya nodded afterwards.
"That's great. Well, I'll leave you to teach your friend Hanzo..." Said Yuki and then she calmly went to her room.
------
Back in her room, Yuki finally had the time to open her last two gifts, and she did so without hesitation starting with the triple duty reward.
...[.Host receives Item: Guardian's Orb, Host receives additional reward: Item: Guardian's Horn]...
Two items suddenly appeared in front of Yuki, The first one was a sphere that looked like a crystal ball used for divination but was blue in color, and the others looked like Viking war horns and were yellow in color.
And before Yuki could examine her properly, they suddenly turned into light and entered her chest creating two black Tattoos that matched their shapes.
Yuki could not help his curiosity so he quickly opened his statistics panel and realized that there were two new parts.
...[.Item: Guardian's Orb (1/10), Guardian's Horn (1/10)]...
...[.Item Enhancement Points: 0]...
'Hum, they can be upgraded as well?' this surprised Yuki a little but she decided to check out their description first.
...[.Guardian's Orb (1/10): A dream item for every beginner mage. Deliver +40 Magic, +150 Mana. UNIQUE – RECOVERY: Recover 1% mana and health every minute]...
...[.Guardian's Horn (1/10): A dream item for any novice warrior. Provides +10% vitality increase, UNIQUE : Block 15% damage from all sources]...
'It's amazing, just as I hate the system that forces me to go through this difficult mission, the reward is so incredible so far, I can't wait to see what the final reward is...' Thought Yuki who was happy with her profit and quickly opened the ultimate reward of this chain quest.
...[.Hosts have performed better in all tasks]...
...[.Counting prizes.]...
'Regular, please be a strong physical enhancement or something useful ...' Yuki prayed inside his head and he immediately received his answer.
...[.***Host has got the Skill: Dimensional link]...
...[.Host has obtained Skill: Queckstep**]...
... [Host has gained : Basic element resistance]...
'What the hell, how this damn system suddenly became so generous' was all Yuki could think of.
