“Sorry for contacting you like this, Shemhaza. So that’s why I’ll be staying here for a while.”

[Understood. However, Azazel. There are also subordinates who don’t think kindly of you for this peace—]

“It’s fine. It doesn’t matter. Leaving that aside, it’s you that I’m worried about. —Your kid will be born, right?”

[…Azazel. I…I!]

“Take good care of that devil wife of yours. She’s a good woman. Coming this far to be with you even though she may be killed. Your child will become the bridge between Devils and Fallen Angels.”

[I would have been happy if I alone had been resented…! F-For you to be so…!]

“Don’t cry, my comrade. I’m used to being resented. Leave the matter of Akeno to me as well. I’ll shoulder everything with these twelve black wings, so just be silent and follow me, Shemhaza!”

“—! Yes, my master!”
