“…Uaargh!”
I scrambled down from his lap in surprise. It was so embarrassing that I was sweating. Why did I end up in a place like this!
Ilya was sitting in front of a work desk in the lab, and I fell on his lap.
Ding!

[What was the black butterfly just now? I don’t know what it is, but I’m sure it’s an ally.]
“G-greetings, Professor…”
Ilya put down her pen and looked up at me. “Were you practicing teleportation magic?”
I couldn’t say, ‘No, a swarm of butterflies that might have something to do with arcane magic brought me here.’ So, I replied with an awkward smile. “I don’t know either…”
“You’re saying strange things.”
Fortunately, Ilya seemed to think nothing of it. He opened the left drawer, took out some papers, and held them out to me. “I was just about to call you, but it turned out well. Take it.”
“What is this?”
“Professor Felix will explain that.”
“Yes? Professor Felix?”
When I was wondering, the lab door burst open, and Professor Felix appeared. “Hello everyone…?”
Professor Felix, who had always been lively, looked so depressed today. He put the tray down on the sofa table with a grim look on his face.
“I’ve got some tea. Would you like some? I have something to talk about.”
Ilya and I went to the sofa and sat down. Why did I naturally fit in among the professors…?
Professor Felix poured tea, handed us a cup of tea, and started talking. “There’s a problem with the greenhouse where magical plants are grown. But the location happened to be close from here.”
“What’s the problem?”
“A ghost monster has appeared. It’s in human form, but it doesn’t kill magical plants. But it wouldn’t let anyone get close to it.
I frowned. A ghost monster in human form? Was there something like that in the game?
Of course there were a variety of species, including magical animals and magical plants, in addition to those created as necessary for the development of the game. That’s why I studied by reading a book separately. However, no book has ever mentioned a ghost monster in a human shape. It seemed to be a newly appeared ghost monster, but somehow, I didn’t have a good feeling about it.
“There are a ton of rare magical plants in that greenhouse that I brought in for my personal research, so if I lose them like this, my teaching will be over! Huhuhu!”
It seemed like excessive pessimism, but it showed that Professor Felix was very heartbroken.
Professor Felix looked at me earnestly. “I heard you were going to set up a magic farm. If you want any of my rare magical plants, I’ll give them to you! Will you please help me?”
In fact, I was about to ask Professor Felix for help with that problem.
“If you handle this well, I will definitely give you an A+ grade in my lecture. How is it?”
Ding!
[Quest: Professor Felix’s request to subdue the ghost monster.]
▸ Reward: Obtain 10 or more rare magical plants
▸Failure: Professor Felix’s trust decreases, and the number of ghost monsters increases
The penalty for failure is too strong!
When I narrowed my brows and made a serious expression, Ilya, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, opened his mouth. “I plan to join you on this mission. So don’t worry too much.”
Clyde’s body was stolen by the demon. So I was worried about how to form the team, but when I heard it, it was good news. I smiled with relief, as I was glad, and Ilya stroked my hair.
Professor Felix opened his eyes wide as if they were going to pop out and soon smiled insidiously. “Hmm, then you’re accepting it, right? Then the date… I mean, please cleanse the ghost monster well!”
Ding!

[Is it finally Ilya’s rise period?]
Ilya nodded his head and stood up, buttoning his coat. “Let’s go.”
Of course, it’s true that if a dangerous monster appears, we must be dispatched immediately. Still, I was taken aback by the sudden situation.
“Is it just me and Professor?”
Don’t we need to recruit a few more members before we leave?
Ilya exclaimed, expressing a sense of wonder at my words. “Am I not good enough?”
“N-no. It’s not like that…”
“Then there’s no problem.”
He grabbed my hand as if there was nothing more to hear. “Move.”

The demon was left alone in the private reading room after Theresa suddenly disappeared, covered in a flock of pitch-black butterflies. Tap. Tap. He tapped the top of the desk with his long, straight fingers and then laughed as if it were ridiculous.
“She always exceeds my expectations.”
The Theresa he knew was a woman who smelled absolutely disgusting and repeatedly said ‘I love you,’ like a parrot. Then, she started giving off a cent at some point, which would often make one lose one’s mind. When she died in Delve Dungeon, her presence was so overwhelming that it was imprinted on his soul.
It was the first time he had felt something like this. And it seemed like there would never be such a presence exist again in the future.
“That’s why I really want to have it.”
Now came the opportunity to devour Theresa from head to toe with his own body, which he had finally taken over. He felt so ecstatic just from the brief contact they made. How crazy would he be if he could have her all in his hands?
The demon breathed heavily and then exhaled long to calm his excited mind. “Where did Theresa go?”
And what were those butterflies?
He walked out with that happy question in his mind. Like a spider’s web, his energy spread to every corner of Valhalla, and began to search for Theresa. But there was no sign of her anywhere. In addition, there was one area that was uniquely undetectable to him.
“…Is it the professor’s lab?”
When the human Clyde was in control of the body, all information about this world was received dully. That means only the amount of information that human Clyde had gathered can be felt.
Although it was impossible to use his original power because of the holy relic, his senses as a demon were awakened, which was far superior to that of a human. And that area didn’t get caught by his senses.
The demon went to Ilya’s lab with a stern expression. However, when the lab door was opened, Ilya had already disappeared using teleportation magic, taking Theresa with him.
Professor Felix, who was inside, welcomed the demon. “Oh, our Student Council President! Huh? You look very different today.”
The demon asked Professor Felix with a smile that deceived humans. “Where did Professor Ilya go?”
Felix gave out what he knew. “Uh… He and Theresa just went to the greenhouse together. A ghost monster appeared there.”
“Aah.”
At that moment, the demon suddenly felt an energy that seemed to have been completely erased from another place. Is it near the stable?
In fact, it wasn’t that the energy had been erased, but it was expanding its size enormously as if asking him to come close. That energy seemed to be kind enough to let him know that they were there.
You dare. The demon stopped walking like a human and used magic to teleport to Ilya’s place at once.
Ilya was about to get into the carriage, ready to depart. Theresa was already in the carriage.
The demon shifted his gaze and made eye contact with Ilya, who was looking at him. He almost burst into laughter. “You’re a demon, right?”
He’s an archdemon who exudes even more powerful magic energy than his mother. But why did such a being disguise himself as a human and act as a professor?
Ilya looked the demon up and down and sighed as if he understood the situation.
“Professor? Who came?”
At that time, Theresa’s voice was heard from inside the carriage. She leaned forward as if to check outside, but Ilya held out his hand to stop her.
“Just wait a moment.”
Then, after closing the carriage door, he strode to the demon. The demon looked at Ilya closely and discovered his true name, like a brand on his soul.
“You’re the fallen angel I’ve only heard about.”
“You’re acting foolish, Clyde. If you awaken in such a clumsy state, giving the body back to humans would be safer.”
The demon frowned. “What do you mean?”
“There is an angel by your side.”
“…”
The demon immediately recalled Zakari. What a damned human Clyde. With that body, it was impossible for other races nearby to not notice it.
“Why are you telling me that?”
“Because I care about you.”
The demon burst into laughter at Ilya’s words. “The demon cares for his fellow demon? Well, my mother cares about me too. But like a valuable collection. That’s how demons are supposed to be.”
But the demon, who is a stranger to him, said that he cared for him even though it was their first face-to-face meeting? It was absurd.
“Is it because you come from heaven? You’re saying something interesting.”
Then Ilya smirked. “It’s funny to me too that you’re saying that.”
For some reason, the demon stopped laughing mockingly at the nerve-racking words. “What does that mean?”
Ilya answered monotonously. “Not something you should know yet.”
“I think it would be best if you don’t look down on me too much.”
When the demon’s eyes turned red with anger, Ilya covered his eyes with a simple movement and stopped him.
“I told you to be careful.”
“I told you to be careful.”
…Uh? The demon opened his eyes wide. A sight he had never seen before flashed through his mind. ‘
A dizzyingly high sky. Magic scepters sparkling and leisurely flying through the air. Pure white wings spread out behind the back. And with long silver hair fluttering… It was himself.
“Don’t try to be my older brother, Ilya. You were born just one minute earlier than me.”
“This is my advice as your superior. Being short-tempered is not a good trait for an angel, so fix it, Clyde.”
“Even after a long time, you’re still disgusting, really. Huh. Why are you laughing now?”
“Fix your vulgar way of speaking.”
The demon woke up from a distant memory and checked his front. However, Ilya had already disappeared with the carriage a long time ago.
“What, just now…”
Why was I in the form of an angel?
“…Uaargh!”
I scrambled down from his lap in surprise. It was so embarrassing that I was sweating. Why did I end up in a place like this!
Ilya was sitting in front of a work desk in the lab, and I fell on his lap.
