TWO VOID: Timeline Shoji
A deal with Demi-Human

The current condition, in a special room that had multiple dimensions of magic so that no one could hear their talk, especially by the Gods.

"Sorry, my subordinates seem to be making a fuss.."

Demon Lord Abaddon said as he sipped a cup of tea.

"T— doesn't matter, so.. what do you want to talk about??"

In my heart, Shoji said.

(True, since you only drank tea, what do you want to say the truth, Demon King??"

The demon lord put her teacup to the table and began to explain her arrival to Shoji.

Suddenly the atmosphere around became tense and gripping.

"It's about all the power that the gods have, all the information of heaven and the shortcut to the universe of the gods.."

Shoji was silent for a moment..

"A–what did you say?"

The demon lord congratulated Shoji for successfully killing the Vide God.

"Congratulations to you for killing Vide.."

His words did not answer Shoji's previous questions.

"That doesn't answer my question! I said, what are you going to say that is actually??!!"

"True, all the information you need to fulfill your purpose is in my hands, information that the other side of you is afraid to say..."

The other side of you that Abaddon is saying refers to Astaroth, which means that Abaddon knows of Astaroth.

Shoji started to get curious and he started to focus on looking into Abaddon's eyes.

"That's great, so this is what I came for, there's a requirement you have to do to hear it."

Shoji didn't expect there would be anything like this.

"Say.."

Then Abaddon said.

"Give me the entire Demi-Human Race in this village.."

Hearing his terms made Shoji go silent for a moment until he kicked the table quite hard.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!? WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM FOR?!! DON'T MAKE THEM SLAVES AND THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN!!!!"

Calmly sipping his tea back, Abaddon said.

"Sure, there is no slavery, and certainly one or two people who want to be excluded can also."

Abaddon said one or two of the excluded were not given to him because he knew Shoji had a strong emotional bond with one Demi-Human figure, then the Demi-Human also has a strong emotional bond with his mother.

In Abaddon's heart said.

"Okay, they'll hear this.."

Suddenly Abaddon felt that someone was eavesdropping on his conversation, but that did not make Abaddon feel threatened or anxious, he deliberately made them listen to him.

Shoji stared seriously at Abaddon, Abaddon thinking it was a signal from Shoji to immediately tell the core of the requirements he gave to Shoji.

"Don't use such gazes, the point is that I want to protect all of them and guide them to become stronger, this is for their own good, the Demi-Humans have the potential to be on par with us, history says nothing of their power, therefore they have been slaves for generations for thousands of years.."

Shoji thought for a moment to ask Astaroth how good it was for him to accept this or reject it.

"Abaddon, the Demon King who has a vast knowledge of the entire universe will not say such things as nonsense, will not he, Abaddon? You can hear it, right?"

"Whatchu mean? Astaroth?"

Astaroth had realized long ago that Abaddon could hear Astaroth's talk with Shoji, so this is where everything will be made clear.

"You're great, Astaroth, but I think you praise me too much, things know the whole universe like that... Aren't you talking about your own strengths? Haha, nothing."

Looking at Abaddon who had a short laugh earlier, Shoji made a silly expression that seemed to say.

"Didn't he laugh?"

..

"alright.so, are you able to accept and meet the requirements I gave you?."

Before Shoji decided to determine the answer, he wanted to ask two more things.

"I want to ask you two things that I have to say to you.."

Abaddon closed his eyes and he was willing to hear the question Shoji was going to say.

"Sure, say."

Shoji said as he stood up and looked at Abaddon sitting down.

"First. Demon Lord Abaddon, there's actually something that you've been trying to hide, I wonder what it is before I determine the answer.."

"You're able to figure it out, even after I try not to say it? Of course, this has to do with the war that determines the fate of all living things in this universe. This war becomes the culmination of his game, a war that will change the imbalance between the forces that are sustained with the gods and goddesses. That's what they call the Two Void War, Nakamura Shoji...."

Hearing his long explanation, Shoji was made speechless and he was surprised how Abaddon was able to figure out his full name.

"Two Void...."

"Yes, then next?"

This is Shoji's last question to Demon King Abaddon.

"Of all the races, why the Demi-Human? What specialties do they have? If I agree to these terms, what kind of advantage do the Demi-Humans get?.."

Previously Shoji said he would ask two things to the Demon King, but now he asks a lot of things instead.

"Yeah, where are the two questions you just said?? No problem, I will answer, first, why Demi-Human? From this question it seems like you have found out that I have visited the Elf race, right. Why Demi-Human? The answer is simple, since they are close relatives of the Devil Race, I am the King, a King must protect everything he leads, bring progress and victory together even at the end of hell though, a King must protect everything he leads, their strength is only I can bring it out, its potential and all aspects of progress... Demi-Human will help you in the battle of Two Void, this answer also includes the question what privileges they have, then, what advantages do they have? The answer is short, it's freedom, so.. how?"

After explaining in detail about these requirements, Abaddon sat back down and sipped an endless cup of tea, the article the tea can be full again for a few minutes.

Regarding this too Abaddon had noticed it and he did not want to discuss a small matter like this.

Shoji heard a long explanation from Abaddon, and after hearing it, he fell silent for a while.

Astaroth gave a suggestion to accept it, as it was not just Demi-Human that he had to protect, it was about Shoji's initial goal to reunite with his Brother.

"You're right, Astaroth.., I became attached to this world and almost set aside my goals..."

After saying that, Shoji wanted to say something he had to say.

"Whatever your explanation may be, in the end I don't feel like I'm someone who just decided to take the protection of a race, you should at least say all this to themselves.so.."

Shoji was in confusion because he almost interfered in the affairs of other races which might have been dangerous if he had decided to, in this confusion.

"What's that?"

the sound of a crowd outside their room, Shoji did not know what it was and he tried to check it out.

When Shoji had just opened half the door of the room, Abaddon said something he could not understand.

"Nakamura Shoji, remember this, you are an existence capable of bringing their fate to a better end.." Abaddon said as he stood up and walked towards Shoji to be with them out of the room.

...

"Woaah look!! That's Mr Shoji!!"

The door was already open, there was a large crowd of Demi-Humans cheering happily at Shoji.

"What is this?.."

Shoji doesn't know how they got together all of a sudden here.

Then Rara ran in front of Shoji and hugged him while saying.

"I told them all, brother!.."

"R–Rara??? What the hell does that mean? I mean, since when?"

Then, appeared Eris who was walking towards Rara while saying.

"Since the Demon Lord said don't stare like that, until all your questions that concern us Demi-Humans and.. Rara's the first to hear it..."

Eris stroked Rara's hair.

And a chieftain who made a silent voice of cheering listened, walked up to Shoji and said.

"Mr Shoji, thank you for everything you've done for us, Demi-Humans. If you are not in the Durui Kingdom at that time, we will remain slaves and be trapped in oppression for thousands of years. When Rara explained that you have received an offer from the Demon King to protect us, we felt very happy. There are two powerful figures who are fighting to protect us, and we know that you definitely have your own primary interests to run. We do not want to be a hindrance in your goals. We are sure that you have considered all the good that we, the Demi-Humans, will get if it is under the protection of the Demon King. After hearing all the answers from Demon King Abaddon, we, the Demi-Humans, have come to a mutual agreement and hereby declare that we will receive an offer from the Demon King."

Shoji smiled, he accidentally shed a little tear, Shoji looked around the Demi-Human.

"They were all smiling." he said.

After which, Shoji glanced towards Ryzen, Roxxie and Sylvia who were at the end of the crowd, with a smile, within Shoji's heart said.

"All of you.. Thanks.."

Rara did not know why Shoji suddenly shed tears.

"Mother, why is it that you suddenly cry? Did I say the wrong thing??"

While squatting looking into Rara's big eyes, Eris said.

"Soji's sister is just happy, she thanks you.."

"S.really?"

After a heartwarming moment for Shoji and the Demi-Humans, they manage to reach an agreement and gain the protection of the Demon King.

Right now, Shoji is joining the party and is having a drink with Roxxie and Ryzen, feeling relieved after everything that happened. The party atmosphere came back to life, but this time only Shoji, his comrades, and the Demi-Humans were present. They joke, laugh, and enjoy togetherness after an uphill battle.

While everyone was partying, Abaddon had summoned all the demon generals and their subordinates to face him immediately.

The entire demon general along with the other subordinate demons looked full of cold sweat while bowing their heads.

After reaching an agreement with Shoji and the Demi-Humans, what would Abaddon say to make his generals like that?
