Well, that’s true, I guess .

  It might have seemed strange that I did not express any form of unnerved emotions, even though I might have been killed .

  It was true that I was in a precarious situation and could have done something about it .

  As though the Black Princess has seen through me, I gave a wry smile of affirmation .

  “Well then, I have said everything that I’ve wanted to say . ”


  “Is that all?”


  “I called you here to kill you because I thought that you were controlling Ouka but that wasn’t the case . I will let you off in a while . ”


  I was let off unexpectedly easily, and even Ouka doubted her ears with ‘Is that okay?’


  “I’ll say this just in case but I only trust Ouka who chose you- not you . Get that straight into your mind . I will only let you off . If you are truly someone good, Ouka will be sad if I continued my ways . However, I do not trust humans and if you hurt Ouka in any way, I will chase you till the end of the world and tear you apart; remember that . ”


  ‘I am not only scary but also persistent’ warned Black Princess with a smile .

  I guess she decided to let me go for now and supervise the situation since she could not determine whether I am someone trustworthy .

  In any case, my life is spared for now .

  Things unexpectedly went well and I was kind of relieved inside, and right then Black Princess seemed to have loosened her strength with a sigh .

  “When I received the report that Ouka was with a human, I was worried if she was controlled and treated badly, and wondered what to do if that was true . ”


  “Who did you receive the report from?”


  Ouka asked the Black Princess, who was fairly worried about Ouka, about the person who reported about us .

  That person could be the culprit who threw a stone at us at that time .

  Without knowing that, the Black Princess was about to answer Ouka .

  “Well……”


  Right at the moment when she was going to spill out the name of the person in question, the Black Princess suddenly halted her words .

  I was not sure if she was going to continue or not, the Black Princess looked behind us and drawn by that, I turned around too .

  “Well, it seems like you all have finally arrived . ”


  “Sorry for being late, lady Black Princess . ”


  “It was because Rokuha took a long time . ”


  “Well, it’s not something that is especially urgent . ”


  “Even so, it’s better to possess a sense of urgency, even if just a little . It seems like the talk has reached the climax . ”


  All of a sudden, a man who politely bowed his head, quarreling couple and an old man entered into the scene .

  They did not even introduce themselves and suddenly made a noisy fuss that confused me; but it seems like I was the only one confused .

  Including the Black Princess, Ouka also seemed to know them very well as she said ‘You guys……’


  “Let me introduce them to you; they are the most trustworthy supernatural creatures “Pentagram” . I have called them here to help out in case I could not make a decision . ”


  While looking at them as they approached us, the Black Princess lightly introduced them .

  Speaking of which, Ouka did talk about them before I came here .

  When the Black Princess created the capital, she obtained the help of five supernatural creatures .

  It seems like they are here .

  The supernatural creatures, who have heard of what has happened, looked at me with inquisitive looks; the guy, who just fought with the lady called Rokuha, approached me with narrowed eyes when he saw me .

  “So it’s you? The one who seduced our Ouka”


  “What is with you suddenly……”


  “Stop it Kurema . We are in front of lady Black Princess now . ”


  When the guy called Kurema observed me with stinging looks, the man who looked upright and was adorned with dragon horn grabbed Kurema’s shoulder to stop him .

  It seems like this person is kind of like a hooligan .

  He came all of a sudden and picked a fight . At that, the Black Princess clapped her hands to gather the attention towards her and said ‘Well, well’ .

  “Please stop fighting . You guys are quite late . Did something happen?”


  “No . Actually, the four of us thought of gathering and coming together at first but”


  “This lady here took quite a while to prepare . ”


  “It’s written on the dispatched order that we can take our time, right?”


  “However, this is a bad outcome, no?”


  “We should have come here separately . ”


  “That Tokusou dude would not forgive us for that . ”


  “It’s written on the dispatched order that we should come here together, right?”


  Somehow, it seems like a group of characters with distinguished personalities have arrived .

  The four of them has started talking about me, looked and acted in a distinctive way, from my objective point of view .

  “Well, that’s fine . He’s just a human . Well, let’s do a self-introduction first?”


  “Humph! Taking the name of humans……”


  “Um…… the dude here with clearly bad gaze and a red crest on his head is Kurema . ”


  “Don’t introduce me on my behalf! Also, it’s unnecessarily to say bad gaze!”


  “By the way, the person who reported about you was him . ”


  “Are you listening to me!?”


  So this person was the one who exposed about me and Ouka .

  Ouka was also surprised as she said with doubts ‘Kurema did?’


  He was wearing a red kimono and looked quite dumb, but he at least did use formal language towards the Black Princess .

  Kurema protested against the fact that he’s introduced by someone against his own will, but the Black Princess just ignored that and continued the introduction ‘Next up is-’


  “I’m Tokusou . ”


  “Well, I am Rokuha . ”
