(POV Third Person)

In one of the bedrooms in the Palace of the Kingdom of Groxia...

The warm light illuminated the room, which made it appear smoother and gave off a hint of a mysterious vibe.

There was only one person in the room: A beautiful girl with golden blonde hair, wrapped in a white nightgown, where his Jade eyes were glued to the two moons hanging above the night sky.

The girl looked like a beautiful flower that had just bloomed and was being shone by the sun. Of course, this was Arena SC Groxia - the First Daughter of the Groxia King.

"Huh... Today was really exhausting." He muttered this in a weary tone, as if he were talking to the two moons themselves.

"Not only do I have to deal with summoning a Hero, but I also have to deal with some constantly talking and very annoying Hero that is."

Frustrated sighs burst out of his mouth, without the girl noticing, before he began to recall the events just a moment ago.

While recalling this, the girl then began to lay herself on the King-sized bed, which was inside the room.

"But still, who exactly is that black-haired Hero? I really felt very familiar with her, as if I had met her before. No matter how hard I think about it, I still can't remember what we met or didn't."

When he thought about it again, his jade green eyes began to look back at the moon once more, which still continued to emit its light from behind the window.

The sound of the night wind blowing could be heard filling the entire room, the curtains surrounding the window began to hiss, as if they were trying to convey something to the girl.

However, Arena did not seem to care much about it, as he got up from his bed and immediately walked towards the open window, only to close it.

When this girl was trying to pull the curtains around the window, her hand suddenly came to a halt, as her Jade green eyes began to look outwards. Only, this time he was staring at a city that was behind the walls of the Palace.

"I wish I could meet that Hero again, and ask him about this."

After sighing in frustration, the girl then shook her head and immediately pulled the curtain to cover the window.

Then, Arena turned around to walk back towards the bed and instantly dropped himself up there.

Reversing his body, Arena then began to stare at the ceiling for a moment, before he decided to go to sleep and think about it again tomorrow.

Even so, this girl still did not realize, if there was a paper tucked between the window that she had closed before.

...

Meanwhile, at quite the same time, on the other side of the Continent...

"So, you finally decided to be friends?" Akane asked that with a complicated facial expression, after she heard the explanation from Dafa.

Not only Akane who immediately had such a facial expression, but Rafi also had the same facial expression, with Sora himself who seemed to start staring at Orobas in a very deadly way, ever since that girl who was as good as her eyed, sat between the shoulders of Dafa.

Dafa himself could only repay him with a light shoulder force, because he also never thought, that it would end up like this.

But, because it was so much better than the various things he could think of, so Dafa did not protest at all.

"But you know this guy already..." Akane looked very hesitant to say the next thing, at which point she glanced at Orobas, whom the Demon Lord girl herself ignored completely.

After all, other than the fact that the girl had already made Dafa lose one of his arms, but he was also the biggest reason, from why they could be summoned to this World.

Dafa who had guessed what the Vertzlicte girl was thinking, decided to straighten things out, so that these three people would not misunderstand something.

"Oh yes, if you think that by defeating these Demon Lords we can go home, then that thought of you is really very naive. Because, there are no such things."

"What do you want to talk about, Bani?" This time, Akane immediately replied to him with a tired facial expression, because she who actually did not care anymore about anything that this teenage boy would say.

Dafa who realized that decided to go straight to the point, and even though it would most likely end badly, it was still better, rather than having to hide it.

"I mean that, even if you've killed all the Demon Lords in this World, it doesn't mean that you can go back to Earth."

Just like that, the three teenagers who were with him immediately fell silent, where it was aggravated by the words of Orobas who came out, a short while after Dafa finished speaking.

"Again, since the beginning of~ There has never been a Demon Lord in conflict with any race~ Because, the agreement we had made with the entire race a few centuries ago~"

"A pact?" This time, the one who asked in confusion was Dafa, because he who had never heard of it from this Demon Lord girl.

Orobas himself replied with a light nod, before he began to explain the agreement.

"Yup~ This Agreement is referred to as Goetia~ An Agreement created by the first Demon Lord with the Queen of Shadow Lands~"

"As a result of this covenant, we Demon Lords must live in the shadows of this World, just to prevent a great war like the one that happened back then 'That'."

"Then, did no Demon Lord dare to break the agreement?" Akane decided to ask this, because she was quite curious as well, about the words of the people in the Palace.

However, it made Orobas laugh out loud, because... "You knew? Only a fool would dare to violate it. Because, anyone who dared to violate it, would come face to face with the wrath of the 'it' person'."

"What do you mean is this first Demon Lord?"

"Yup~ As I expected from my friend this~! Besides being strong, she is also very smart~!"

Then, Dafa, along with others, decided to go ahead and ask that question later, because of those who seemed to have reached their destination.

.....

....

...

Meanwhile, somewhere else...

"Kinkish... It's very interesting." A young man with his upper face covered by a black mask shaped to resemble a bird's beak is seen saying so with a small smile on his face.

Others who were with him there seemed confused by this, which certainly made him decide to ask directly.

"Doctor, did you find anything interesting?"

The man initially did not reply at all, where he preferred to focus on what he was doing, until...

"Finally... I finally saw you!!" This time, a tone full of excitement could be heard coming out of his mouth, as the smile belonging to the man became deeper and deeper.

This fellow with him, he could only look at him strangely, before that fellow decided to leave from there, just because he did not want to end up being a guinea pig from him.

After all, this man was famous for his boundless madness, to the point of making almost everyone fear him.

However, the person will later regret his decision, because...
