「Tina! This is terrible! There is no toilet paper!」
On the afternoon of a certain day, the doors of the Rest Room of the Grand Casino, that had been built near the coast of the City of Balman, were opened abruptly. Tina, who after finishing her cleaning duties at the Casino, had gone to the Rest Room to eat some rice crackers, was startled when Kagami suddenly entered the room while shouting that.
「Eh? That’s strange. I remember having replaced the toilet paper in the bathroom when I began my cleaning work… Could it be that I got confused?」
「It’s my room that doesn’t have toilet paper! How could you forget to replace the toilet paper in my room!?」
「Why the heck should I worry about replacing the toilet paper in your room!? That has nothing to do with me! If you have to complain to someone, that someone should be the one who takes care of the cleaning at the inn」
「I’m too ashamed to ask someone else about this」
「I do not care about that」
Tina said with an exhausted look after Kagami said that with a serious expression on his face.
「I feel like… I will not be able to work properly if I do not get it」
「Don’t worry, we will all be able to work without problems, even if Kagami-san does not get involved. Divide the work is very important after all」
Tina looked at Kagami with a smile on her face and said, 「It’s okay, you dono’t have to worry, we will be able to handle things very well even after you’re gone」, while getting up from the sofa that was in the Rest Room.
「Even so, things have gotten busier」
「Well, if things get very complicated I could stay a little longer. Although I really can not postpone this… But I can try to come and give you a hand in once in a while」
Kagami murmured as he remembered cheerfully the hectic daily routine that had continued repeating until today.
It had been half a year since the incident in the Royal Capital. During the rescue of Krull, Kagami had shown a much greater value than the King had expected, and after being immobilized because of the rebounce of his Limit Release, he wasn’t captured, but was simply taken back to the Throne Room.
Kagami could not help asking, 「Is that okay?」, After hearing the unexpected words of the King, which contradicted everything he had done before. In short, he, with the Demon King, agreed on the 「Treaty of Non-Aggression between Humans and Demons」.
That treaty, which involved the enemies against whom he had been fighting for many years, and who were responsible for the appearance of the Monsters, greatly changed the daily life of the whole world, and had to overcome numerous complications.
However, the King, who saw a certain value in Kagami, did not hesitate to implement it.
At the same time, Kagami felt the weight of desire to protect this 「something」 he had managed to obtain, which is why he had been sweating involuntarily for the past six months.
Of course, there were many people who, like Palna, did not feel comfortable with this agreement, and strongly opposed this treaty, however, after the King declared, 「This long conflict has left us really deep wounds. However, it is time to move forward」, he one somehow managed to sign the treaty, although there was still some disagreement.
The Humans and Demons, who at first had been displeased with this treaty, did not hesitate to show their aversion to it, however, gradually, theu began to interact with each other, and now, half a year later, they had finally begun to maintain an acceptable exchange
This was due in part to the numerous rules that were implemented as a measure to avoid any transgression during their exchanges.
For the sake of keeping the Humans and Demons safe, the King and the Demon King devised a system of cooperation where, whenever a Monsters appeared, which were the main cause of the past battles, both, Humans and Demons, should cooperate to take care of them.
As result, the Demons, who had been forced to remain hidden to protect their lives, were finally able to come out and cooperate with Humans. Half a year had passed since then, and the amount of Demons that could be seen peacefully walking the streets of Balman had increased considerably.
Of course, that did not end all the problems between Human and Demons. There were still many Humans who hated the Demons, just as there were still many Demons who hated Humans. However, that did not affect the absolute those who did not want the conflict, and instead believed that they would see a better future if their all lived day by day together hand in hand.
However, Kagami, who would normally say his usual phrase, muttered, 「But this Peace that is in front of my eyes is still false」.
That was the reality.
「Will you feel alone? Tina, will you feel lonely when I’m not here anymore? 」
「Yes, of course, I will feel very lonely」
「Don’t say it that way, come on, say it while you look me in the eyes」
「I don’t have time for that」
「How cold. But hey, I’ve gotten used to Tina treating me that way every day」
「I’m glad to hear that」
At the same time that the treaty was signed, Kagami made an agreement with the King. To be more precise, the King only agreed to sign the treaty for this agreement.
First of all, he had to fulfill his previous agreement with Estellar. Collect 10,000 golds in 1 year and go back to the place where the Dark Dragon was.
In fact, even if he could not get the 10,000 gold, Kagami had already shown Estellar and the Dark Dragon that he had the necessary power, but the King insisted that he must fulfill his agreement.
This could also be considered the way in which the King showed his consideration to Kagami, who had reached an unprecedented level of power, by allowing him to take a look at the world with which he had dreamed so much.
The second thing was to go to the Next Stage. Five years. That is the maximum time that this world, with which Kagami had so desired, can be maintained. After that, the world will automatically Reset and it will be as if the treaty between Humans and Demons had never existed. Everyone would forget what had happened and humanity would fight again for the sake of defeating the Demon King.
Those limitations were the reason why Kagami murmured that the peace of this world was false. Kagami was to come up with the Salvation that the King, Estella and the Dark Dragon were talking about.
And, for the sake of this peace becoming real someday, Kagami spent his days working hard to gather the 10,000 Golds and fulfill the first part of their agreement.
Kagami had been completing the City Guild Requests one after the other, while his companions supported him with the Casino. As a result of continuing with that routine for the past half year, Kagami somehow managed to gather the 10,000 Gold before what he had expected.
One of the reasons why they managed to collect the 10,000 so soon was the incredible evolution that the casino suffered after the incident in the Royal Capital.
The Casino had expanded considerably, and an exclusive VIP Room for the Nobles had been created, an area of exclusive Games for the Nobles among many other recreational areas, and, thanks to the rumors scattered by the King, the Nobles also began to frequent the Casino every day.
In addition to that, the customers they could admit also increased thanks to the treaty, so they created certain games that the Demons could easily access. Furthermore, since the Demons possessed a basic status superior to that of Humans, they were able to collect money by killing monsters much more easily than Humans, which allowed them to earn much more money than they did.
Of course, the money itself did not have any use for the Demons, however, due to the cooperation agreement between Human and Demons for the subjugation of Monster, the Demons began to have more and more opportunities to use the money while interacting with the Humans. For that reason, David suggested that they should see the Demons as potential customers just like the others.
Due to that, the City of Balman experienced an important development during the last six months. It was now quite common to see Demons walking the streets of Balman.
Seeing that, Kagami began to wish that the world would not reset, making all this a lie. Thanks to that it ignited its motivation, Kagami was able to animate although today was the day that had been decided that he would go to the Next Stage.
「Um…? I thought I heard you were leaving today Kagami… Could it be that I’m wrong?」
Said a middle-aged man, who was wearing a black coat, as he entered the Rest Room.
