Hmm?　Who are you?

　A day has passed since the dueling incident.
　Early in the morning of that day, I opened the front door and there was a young man I didn't recognize.

"Could it be you ....... Are you Bath or something?

　
　I asked him in a state of skepticism.

　The hair style was different, so it didn't ring a bell, but upon closer inspection, the clothes and face had some overlap with the appearance of the bonbon nobleman (brother) from before.

　Somehow, the hair of the Bongbong nobleman (brother) had been trimmed off so cruelly that he had a tragic look to him.

''Rude!　How many times do I have to tell you to put a "Yes" on it?　Ouch!

　Behind him, a mane like a lion - or rather, a stern-looking man with a beard - tapped Barth on the head.

　His hair is the same burnt candy color as Ted's, and his eyes are the same color as the water attribute.
　His eyes are "blue eyes" which are good at the water attribute.

''Nice to meet you. I'm Evans Langobalt. Abel-sama.

　His name was said in a low, intimidating voice.
　Then Evans immediately fell to his knees on the spot.

'Master Abel. I am so sorry for this time!　Please do this. I hope you will forgive my foolishness!

　Hmm?　What is this person saying all of a sudden?
　I didn't forgive him or anything, I wasn't really angry at him from the beginning.

''Father!　Why are you apologizing to these commoners and their inferior eyes?　This man, Abel, is the brother of our maid of honor, isn't he!

Fool!　How dare you!

　Boom!　And a dull thud.
　A fist bone is firmly lodged in Barth's head.

　Hmm. That's a pretty good punch with a lot of weight on it.


　Perhaps Ted's physical abilities were partly inherited from his father.

"Listen. 'You know what, Barth? I'm going to tell you now!　We don't hire Master Lilith!　Master Lilith has hired us!

............ Yes?

　Barth seems stunned by Evans' words.

　I see.
　So that's what it is. I see what you mean.

　I've always wondered.
　I wondered why a high level demon race like Lilith was serving under a human.

　Even though times have changed, it is still unthinkable for a demon race to work for a human.　

　Then why?
　Why does Lilith have a job that is subservient to the nobility?
　
　Perhaps Lilith holds the weakness of this nobleman.

　There are some obstacles that accompany the demon race to live among humans.

　I suppose that using the power of the nobility to survive is one of the tricks of the trade for the demon race to survive in this era.

''Haha--!　Master Abel!　Please!　Please be so generous!

　Still, it's a tremendous kneeling down.
　Barth's father grabbed his head and bowed down with a look of humiliation on his face.

　What kind of weakness would cause a proud nobleman to get down on his knees?

Next time I see you, I'll ask Lilith about that.

'You can raise your head. I'm not really mad at you in the first place.

'The generous words of Master Abel!　I'm so grateful!　Thank you very much!

............

　As I said the words of exertion, Evans began to lower his head more and more, as if he was slumped into the ground.

　I told him to raise his head.


　This family is full of people who don't really listen to each other.

'Ugh ....... What the hell is ....... What the hell are you guys ......?

　Forced to get down on his knees without understanding the reason, Barth turned his lonely shaved head, half-bellied.
