Vol. 1 - Chapter 7.1: Promises (1)
TL Note: As Promised, extra chapter tomorrow.
In the Western-style house given to Takashi by his Master, Nephira.
When he stepped out of the garden, the countryside spread out before his eyes under the gentle sunlight.
Looking over the vast expanse of land, Takashi felt deeply moved.
"All this... is my domain..."
Nephira nodded her head next to Takashi.

Nephira spoke nonchalantly, but she seemed pleased. Takashi thought it might be the satisfying feeling of seeing her personal familiar proving himself and going up the ranks. Still, it was very generous of them to give him all the land within sight of the villa!
Behind Takashi, the Meru-Kiru sisters also expressed their delight.
"It's great, Suzuki!"
"I'm really happy for you, ya know---!"
"Thank you!"
He thanked the demons honestly. When he did, Kiru smiled at him brightly.
"If it's this big, you can poop anywhere, anytime, for as long as you want!"
"No, how long are you going to go about that!? I, I've become a high-ranking soldier, haven't I!? Please stop saying things like that."
"M--My bad. But, I'm worried about your health."
He was not so happy about it. He was afraid that no matter how high he rose in the ranks, he'd still be like a pet to Kiru. Furthermore, Meru hesitantly asked Takashi:
"Uhm---. Suzuki, you're gonna have a relationship with Gharaga from now on, aren't you---?"
"HUH!? That's impossible!!"
"But, but---. Gharaga, declared to Suzuki---. Maybe Suzuki isn't too satisfied about it---."

"Then, what did he mean---?"
"That was..."
Takashi was not certain how Gharaga's state of mind was affected by Pritis's influence. Even so, Takashi thought. Gharaga must have been confronted by his own past during the battle.
"In any case! Gharaga and I don't have that kind of relationship!"
"If so, I'm glad---!"
Meru then wrapped her arms around Takashi's arm. Nephira glared at Meru and cleared her throat. Meru hurriedly and panickedly let go of Takashi's arm.
"That Gharaga, though. He requested to resign from the Thunder-Lance Charge."
"Eeh! Really!?"
"Gharaga, resigned---? Why---?"
The Meru-Kiru sisters were astonished. Takashi, of course, was also surprised.
