(POV Third Person)

"Orobas!"

Upon hearing the shout, the Demon Lord girl immediately put on a puzzled expression on her face, because... "What's up~?"

Dafa only beckoned him to sit down, as he began to let go of his weapon and sit on the ground.

Although he was confused by this sudden change, but he still followed it, just because of his high self-confidence.

After all, no matter what the man did, Orobas was convinced that in the end he would win.

"So, what's up~? Why are you asking me to sit~?" Orobas immediately asked this question in confusion, though it was covered by his passionate tone, after he had sat not far from Dafa.

Dafa himself was silent at first and gave him a small smile, before he said; "What if we make a deal?"

Orobas's face immediately darkened, after he heard what Dafa had said, because... "Oi~ Do you think you have the right to propose such a thing~?"

Right after saying that, such a terrifying aura was immediately directed towards Dafa, who despite getting such a thing, but the teenager still kept a cold expression on his face.

Of course, it managed to make Orobas become even more interested in him, as it was truly rare for anyone to be able to withstand his killing intent, even among Demon Lords, as it was, only Demon Lords with fifteen positions and above were truly able to withstand it.

After all, although it was said to be the fifty-fifth seat, but it did not signify the level of strength of his among these Demon Lords, either, because it only describes the time of joining these Demon Lords.

So, seeing Dafa that can withstand it so casually, of course, it makes the interest owned by Orobas increased.

On the other hand, Dafa who felt the killing intent was indeed completely unaffected, considering that he had once felt something far more terrifying than that.

But for now, Dafa needs to get this girl in front of him to sign a Promissum Magic deal, where the deal will eventually get their souls tied up.

Moreover, if this deal had been signed, no matter how strong the person was, if only he broke this deal, then he would have been instantly wiped out, because as he had just said, it would have been, if this deal binds the soul of a person.

Therefore, for anyone who breaks this agreement, then his soul will be destroyed automatically, which means that it will completely kill him, without being able to be revived, or go to the wheel of reincarnation samsara.

Usually, this agreement is used by the Casters who are on Earth to make a deal, because sometimes, more precisely usually, these Casters will always violate a treaty, if only there was something that would benefit them.

So, the point is, Dafa plans to make a deal using the Promissum Magic system, so that the girl in front of him does not kill them.

Even though he knew it would be very difficult to do that, considering this girl who has very annoying eyes, but the reason she was quite sure that this would work, he said, it was because of the look in the eyes that the girl gave him.

The highlight of the eye looked very similar to the look in the eyes of one of his acquaintances, which was the result of being too bored with his life, when he first discovered something interesting, interesting, that person immediately did not want to let go of him at all.

So, it could be said, just by capitalizing on her confidence in it, Dafa dared to make the Demon Lord girl who was in front of him sign the Promissum Magic deal.

For now, let's ignore this and go back to the side of Dafa, which seems to be about to begin with this plan.

"So, can we start this thing?"

And, as he had expected, if for some reason Orobas even retracted his killing intent, when he returned to his rather deadly cheerful atmosphere.

"Yup~ Because you're strong, I'll listen to you~"

Upon hearing that, Dafa then decided to immediately attack the weak spot of this girl in front of him, in terms of mental state.

"Then, let's make a deal. Since you never seem to have a friend, what if I become your friend? But, you must promise not to hurt me and my comrades. How's it?"

*Booom*

Everything within one kilometer of it was immediately destroyed, right after Dafa had finished his words, with Orobas himself ready to behead his own.

"Who are you saying don't have friends~ I have friends! And, that's a lot more compared to yours~"

'On target.' Dafa could not help but smile joyfully on his face, because his original deduction was indeed the truth, because it seemed like this girl did not have a friend.

How did he come to that conclusion? That's easy, you just try to see from the behavior of this girl from the beginning, which although it does seem a bit too deadly, it is, but it was like a child who had no friends and found a new toy to spend time with.

In addition, there is also the fact that this girl's smile seems to be used more often to hide her loneliness, which Dafa can clearly see during their fight.

After all, if this girl was indeed a battle maniac, as Dafa had originally thought, then she should not have accepted his invitation to sit down, either, plus there was no way he would still hold himself back in terms of fighting.

Indeed, there are several other factors in it, such as the tone of speech that this girl uses, to the habits she has, but the point is still the same, but the point remains the same, if it seems like the plan will go well.

Wh why? That's because...

"But they're just using you, aren't they?"

"That-that's..." Doubt soon surfaced in Orobas's eyes, for he really could not deny it at all, let alone considering that his eyes also had one other hidden ability, which only he knew about, as well, the ability to read the minds of others.

Of course, when he thought back to the function of his eyes, Orobas immediately used it on Dafa, just to know his thoughts.

["Hmm... Strange girl. Although she looks really cute, but somehow I feel that she is very old, maybe even much older than grandma."]

"I'm-I'm not old! I'm only about six centuries old!"

This time, Dafa who was thinking about a random joke inside his head, once again managed to guess one of his random deductions, which was, after knowing the ability from the eyes of this girl in front of him during their previous battle.

After all, if anyone could be aware of his illusory magic, it meant that the person must have an ability that could detect the soul of a person, a very unique eye, he said, or even more crazy, the person may be able to read the thoughts of others.

So, it can be said, finally the question can be answered, even though what is not realized by Dafa, is about the fact that it is not so appropriate.

But, for now, let's get back to reality.

"Can you read my mind?" Dafa decided to ask this question with seriousness, because he knew that useless things like this would smooth their conversation, if only this girl was not among the 'it's' people'.

However, even before the girl could think of anything further, Dafa already patted her head first and said; "Take it easy, I won't tell anyone else about this ability of yours. Anyways..."

"That's the job of a friend, isn't it?" Dafa ended his words with a smile that, although he really did not want to use him at all, but because it was necessary, he decided to use it.

Where, thanks to that smile, his charisma which is usually covered by a gloomy aura that always spreads around him, it finally came to the surface, which of course managed to make the heart of Orobas beat with no reason.

After all, even though Dafa is not talented at all in any field, he actually has a talent that is so terrible, that it can even make someone so adoring him, he said, like worshiping a god.

And, that talent was his charisma, which if not for his pessimistic and realist attitude, plus the gloomy atmosphere that was always scattered around him, might have succeeded in making so many people adore him, like a God.

That is what is happening to Orobas, who, although this is what Dafa calls betting, also seems to work towards the Orobas class, but his charisma also seems to work towards the Orobas class, which can be said to be one of the strongest creatures ever encountered by Dafa.

So, with the addition of deadly movements for the loli, it managed to make Orobas touched, until... "But you have to promise me that you won't stop being my friend. If not..."

However, his words stopped in the middle of the road, as a ray of light suddenly appeared on the bodies of the two people, which must have surprised Orobas greatly.

"W-did you just trick me!?"

It was the only conclusion that the girl could think of, since she had already often gotten such treatment.

"No, please don't misunderstand me, Orbs. This is Promissum, a magic that binds the souls of two people, through a covenant, and if anyone breaks the covenant, then the soul of the person who transgresses it will be instantly destroyed."

Dafa immediately denied the accusations from Orobas, at which time he placed his index finger on the forehead of the Demon Lord girl, only to channel the knowledge of the agreement to her.

Not long after gaining knowledge of the agreement, an expression full of shock immediately appeared on the Demon Lord's face, because... 'He really didn't lie at all.'

After all, the way this Promissum works is actually quite simple, where it only needs the approval of both parties, before it will automatically activate.

The rules behind this matter are also quite simple, because as long as one does not break the agreement they both made, then neither will experience anything.

There are no ill effects at all from this magic, and the only way to release this magic is with both parties making the agreement agreeing to remove it, because otherwise, the, then only someone who is God-level can remove it.

It is also only a God among the Gods, and it should also be remembered, if it is taken from the level of power of the Gods on Earth, not this World.

For now, as Orobas seems to have not disputed the agreement, it means that Dafa now only needs to pick up three of his colleagues, who he hopes will be fine.

After informing Orobas of the matter, the Demon Lord girl would gladly help him, on behalf of a friend, and it seems like Dafa's deduction for this girl who never had a true friend is the truth.

But, since it's no longer necessary, so let's just ignore it.

That way, a new destiny wheel was finally created, where later that destiny will be the beginning of the most turbulent era in the World appears, where the destiny will be, which would also make the future of the world uncertain.

Of course, Dafa will never realize that anytime soon, because...

...

Meanwhile, somewhere else...

"How do you think? Is this a suitable place for us to spend the night?"

After arriving at a place that he thought was suitable, Souji then asked the opinions of the people who went along with him.

"If I'm to be honest, I want something much better than this cave. But..."

Hina immediately expressed her opinion with a complicated expression on her face, because for a person from the upper class like herself, the place really looked very bad.

After all, the place was just an ordinary cave, where this cave itself seemed to be squeezed by a pair of large trees on either side, with a cliff could be seen at the top.

The point is, this cave seems to be under a hill, which also has two large trees squeezing it, and it can be said, if this place is quite strategic, it is also quite strategic, if only they ignored the safety of an earthquake.

But, considering that this World is a World with magic and skills in it, it can be quite certain that such things can be overcome, in one way or another.

"Oh, come on, Shinomiya-senpai. There would be no such place in the middle of a forest like this. So just accept this." Sanada immediately quipped Hina, as it was indeed a bit too unreasonable at all.

After all, there would be no way there would be a house or an inn in the middle of a forest like this, let alone this forest was also filled with quite a number of dangerous monsters, which if not for Souji, was it, they were most likely already dead from those monsters.

For example, it happened some time ago, when a group of strange six-legged wolves suddenly appeared and ambushed them, which fortunately could be overcome easily by Souji.

"What Sanada said. There was no way such a thing would exist in the middle of a forest like this." Nagisa also agreed to the words of Sanada, because from a logical point of view, it should be very impossible to appear.

"More important than that, what if we split the task first? Because, the night is coming soon."

Souji who did not want to prolong the matter immediately changed the topic of conversation, which seemed to be approved by everyone.

That way, they separate the group into three teams, where later one team will guard the headquarters and prepare various things there, one more team will look for firewood, and one team will look for firewood, the other team will go to find something they can eat.

After deciding on the existing teams, they all then split up to complete their respective tasks.
