Vol. 1 - Chapter 8.1: World Saviour (1)
TL Note: EXTRA CHAPTER. Next week is back to regular schedule.
After leaving the Thunder-Lance Charge, Gharaga headed for the forests of his hometown. Having lost his mother and father in the Great Human-Demon War, Gharaga had been left on his own.
When other demons asked him why he was going back to his hometown after all these years, Gharaga himself could not give a clear answer. However, there was one thing he wanted to do.

Gharaga smiled wryly.
After his duel with Suzuki, he felt an overwhelming urge ------ to build a grave for Mimi.
(I wonder what I'll do after that.)
Gharaga, by virtue of his nature, did not get along well with other members of the basilisk race. Still, he thought it might not be a bad idea to stay in the village for a while.
As the familiar forest came into view, Gharaga's sense of smell, keener than a human's, picked up on a certain stench.
Blood. And from his own race.
Gharaga approached, keeping a watchful eye out. He was surprised by what he saw from afar the basilisk village, only a short distance away from the forest.

(Hey, hey. Could it be that humans have conquered us?)
When he contrasted the current situation with the smell of his kindred blood that he sensed earlier, he reached that conclusion. However, things didn't add up. The Demon Lord's army had defeated the Empire and now controlled more than eighty percent of the world. He had not heard of any human offensive.
Paying close attention to his surroundings, he slowly headed toward the center of the village. Looking from the corner of a dilapidated hut, he saw a group of humans in armor standing in a line. It was as if they were about to invade.
"...There's still a basilisk breed out here?"
He heard a human voice from behind him, and Gharaga turned around. Three soldiers were standing there with tense expressions on their faces.
