Chapter 115: Rabbit Eared Race’s Hero
「Uhm… You are?」
「My name is 〝Ciel Celcius?.」
「…!?」
Aria’s eyes opened wide the moment she heard the name of the rabbit-eared girl.
Ciel Celcius!
That was the name of one of the heroes who had bravely fought in and survived Ragnarok.
（If such a bigshot has come here, the matter they’re about to say must be extremely important…）
The one who had introduced herself after the future person was one of the heroes of this era, and it made Aria wonder just what kind of problem had forced them to come to her house.
「That face is saying you know about me. Well, that’ll make things simpler for us. 〝The Demon King From The Future? is about to invade the kingdom I’m living in―Usalda Pekura Kingdom. That’s why, Aria, we seek your cooperation.」
The female hero, Ciel, asked for Aria’s assistance as she squinted her aquamarine eyes.
「Demon king… from the future?」
（From the future… and a demon king on top of that!）
Even though Aria felt that these outrageous words had turned her world upside, she got a grip on herself and managed to squeeze that last question.
Even Tama felt that he couldn’t miss the next words from the duo.
「Yes. To be exact, we detected the presence of a new demon king in our kingdom.」
Ciel continued as she nodded to answer Aria’s question.
Usalda Pekura kingdom was the place where one of the seven demon kings who had rampaged in Ragnarok a few years ago had been sealed.
Moreover, the condition of the said demon king seal was inspected every day using a magic tool.
「A reaction similar to the sealed demon king was detected a few days ago. In short, we’ve detected another sign that matches with the sealed demon king〝Belphegor?」
Ciel continued her story with a calm yet serious look on her face.
According to her, May had appeared right after they confirmed the presence of the second Belphegor.
May then told Ciel that the presence of the second Belphegor was in fact the presence of the Belphegor who came from the future. She also asked Ciel to keep it a secret from the others.
「It sounds too good to be true in normal situations, but, she― I had no choice but to trust her after I saw her power and observed the situation that matches with her story.」
Ciel took a pause.
It seemed she wanted to give Aria and co. some time to digest her story.
「One question! Why us of all people? If your story is true, our opponent is a demon king. I mean, there are more suitable people for that.」
Aria’s question was natural.
She soon received a reply.
「We can’t do that! This lineup is the one that has the minimum risk to cause 〝Paradox?and the best lineup to deal with Belphegor! Basically, I might end up destroying the future where I come from if I give this information to Alisha-mama or the others!」
May replied in a flustered voice.
Such foreign words that they couldn’t understand left Aria and Tama dumbfounded. Cedric butted in to explain the meaning to them.
「Aria-san and everyone, Belphegor has come from the future with some sort of goal. If Belphegor rampages during this era, his actions might cause a change in the future. You understand that, right?」
Aria and Tama nodded at his question.
The trio of Stella, Lily, and Faeri had long since given up on trying to understand such a complicated story. At this moment, they were playing with their fingers.
Cedric continued his explanation as he looked at the trio with a face saying ‘Well, I guess this story was too difficult for children.’
「The opposite can also happen if we mobilize the great forces of this era to defeat Belphegor. We’ll also change the future. May-chan is choosing the safest option for the subjugation party members by using the special calculation she brought from the future.」
「So those said members are…」
（Us, who have gathered in this place, huh…）
Aria and Tama finally understood the situation after hearing Cedric’s explanation.
Seeing their expression, Ciel, who sat in front of them, gave a small nod.
Meanwhile, on her right side…
「As expected of Uncle Cedric! It’s an easy and simple explanation!」
May embraced Cedric’s arm as she praised him.
「M-May-chan.」
His niece’s antics had troubled Cedric.
Because, it was already a fact that Cedric disliked women.
And that trait wouldn’t change even when the said woman was a little girl.
Moreover, he had no idea about how to get along with his self-proclaimed niece.
Of course, it didn’t mean that he disliked her. He was smiling at her despite making a troubled face.
That could serve as another proof that they were blood-related.
「What do you think, Aria? Will you accept this commission?」
Ciel asked for confirmation as she looked at Cedric and May’s exchange.
「… I understand. Even though I still don’t have a clear idea about the future world, a demon king will appear if I don’t do something. That’s why I’ll lend my hand.」
Aria replied while staring into Ciel’s eyes.
「Nya~n! (I’ve also become more stronger to protect my master!)」
Tama rubbed his head on Aria’s cheeks and raised an adorable cry as if he wanted to cheer his master.
Seeing Tama acting spoiled like that, Aria brushed his head.
「Fufu… thank you, Tama.」
