[Opening the exit]

[Congratulations on passing the test everyone.]

[Thank you all for your great work today. Have a nice time on your journey ahead.]

With a status window-like magic screen hanging in the air above us, a gate similar to where we had entered opened up at the very back.

And, as I walked back to my dear companions, the first thing I did…

-Dhum!

Was to take out a Mana potion from my storage device, and pour it down in the mouth of the pitiful elf unconsciously struggling for his life.

"How much did you want this innocent person to almost die?"

I was glaring at her, the reason I didn't fight that weak demon in the end. And she was glaring back at me as if she was angry that I did something wrong.

"You bastard… you could have just fought that duckhead, left us alone, left me alone so that when he finally… but no! You fucking sonovvabitch! NO!

What did you do?! Use diplomacy against a demon that wasn't even real!? That's not how you do it! You were supposed to fight him! Cut him down to pieces! Butcher him! Bath in his blood! But no!!

What the fuck do you even care if something happens to him?! Is he worth more than the pleasure of your master you bastard?!

Tell me! Tell me why?!"

.- .. -. .-..-. - / -. --- - .... .. -. .-..-. / -... ..- - / .- / .... . .- .-. - .- -.-. .... .

She was shooting at me?! Did I even have to say it out loud what was wrong with this twisted thinking of hers?!

"You bitch! You want me to spill that out?!"

"Yes you fucking bastard! Why in the duck fucking world would you even do that?1"

"Because it is ethically wrong!"

"Where's ethics?! Fuck that shit! Tell me why you actually did that!"

What was she even shouting for?!

"Because I was worried about him!"

He was someone useful to our plans and yes I trusted her more than anything else in this world but! Opening an elf and doing surgery inside an artificial dungeon?!

"You were fucking worried about a pointy-eared sexy bastard?! When did your tastes change, hun?! Will you kiss him after he wakes up?! Do you want to fuck-"

"Shut the hell up you absolute fucking dumbass. Did you already forget who he is?! What we are here for?! How will the queen-"

"Shhhhhh! You shithead!"

She looked up to the left side, her expression filled with worry and fear, her cute eyes seemed to be looking at something, while her cool, pretty finger was on my mouth.

'I wanted to suck it right here and right now… but we had to finish this little act.'

"Alright! Alright! Fuck!"

I pushed her back from his body and she was thrown back.

"You…! You pushed me?! Your fucking master?!"

"Yes! Stay there!"

My voice was louder, and when she heard that, she stopped whatever curse she was about to shout, bit her lips almost until they were bleeding, and looked down with an utterly angry frown.

Nes was suddenly worried and was almost about to jump in between us, but Eva caught her and shook her head while saying it was alright.

"Tsk. Fuck…"

And after checking the sleeping elf, and pouring a healing potion in his mouth, I walked up to her and sat down beside her.

"Sorry-"

"Fuck off."

-Dhum!

-Drrrrrrrrrsh!

She used her [Telekinesis] and threw me away and I crashed, and it hurt but I walked back and sat back beside her again.

"I said I'm sorry-"

"Tell that to that hot elf you worry so much about. Fuck off."

-Dhum!

-Drrrrrrrrrsh!

And she did that again. What's more, I somehow crashed in the exact same spot that I had landed the last time.

"Fuck…"

Still, I walked back and handed her a little not with something written on it.

"Alright?"

"You are a mother fucking son of a bitch."

And thankfully, she looked at me after that with the same frown she had when something annoying happens.

"Let's go. I will think nothing happened here if you keep the promise."

"Yes ma'am."

It was a little simple from how we usually fight since this was just some act to do some certain thing, but, our real fights…

'Well, I have almost died multiple times and she had too, so they aren't something we actually talk about after they have already passed.'

I don't think there will come a conflict that we would actually have to fight over but, well, since this new reality is more unpredictable than the world we have come from, we can't say anything about tomorrow with as much certainty as we used to.

"Let's go Eva-"

"Let's go Nes~. Let's wake up our examiner~."

She ran forward and grabbed Nes, went up to Levi, and used her [Telekinesis] to lift him… and then she moved her fingers around his face and body like she had been doing for quite a while.

"H-hmmm? El? What just happened with you and brother Lucy?"

Nes was confused and she couldn't find the right words until now but she finally asked, and as an answer, El just smiled at her.

"Nothing much. Just a usual conflict of interest that couldn't be described as politics."

She patted her head with that same smile, and since Nes could at least tell the one more hurt here was me, she just shook it all off.

And then thanks to all those sweet touches of El, our dear examiner who had been unconscious for a while now, also came back to his senses.

"Ugh… what happened?"

"Nothing sleeping princess. The test ended."

She smiled at him and put him down, and, as soon as the memories of everything that had led to his unconsciousness returned to him, with wide fear-filled eyes, and a blushing red face, he quickly took a few steps back.

"O-ok! Yes! Phew! It's over! What is the result…"

He called out Vienna's system interference to look at the results and a few more details and, what he saw over there made his eyes widen with surprise and confusion as he looked back, not at El but at me, the one who had gotten the highest score.

"W-why is this showing t-two thousand points of the total evaluation, m-misters Lucifer?"

"Hmm? Well, probably because Vienna thinks it's better than the usual? You already know this was a special test, no? Why are you even surprised?"

Did he lose some of his memories or were they still coming back slowly? He isn't that dumb to ask these kinds of questions though.

"Anyway, they told us to tell you to bring us to them when you wake up."

"Hmmm?"

He was confused by my previous words probably but when I said this, he looked at me with a new confused look.

"What does that mean? Bring you to whom?"

"To whoever was watching? How would we know who said that? It surely wasn't Vienna though. It was a mature male voice. Seemed to be full of authority but was calm and polite."

"Polite…? Oh! If you are talking about a male voice-"

[< Examiner Leviathan? If you are awake, please bring them to us. >]

"Y-yes!!"

That shout was the loudest thing we had heard from him after that certain weird moan he had just before waking up a while ago. But I'm not thinking of that.

He knew now that 'they' had called for all of us, and, as a simple employee, he just had to guide us to them now.

'Which he thinks is the last task he would have to do for us. Poor thing… he doesn't even know what El was thinking of doing to him, was inevitably going to happen sometime in the near future anyway.'

He was miserable but, that was his fate. It was up to him how he fights and changes it.

"P-please! Follow me, everyone! And congratulations on passing the tests!"

Levi walked out through the gate that had appeared a while back and, after a confused look on her face, Nes also followed him with Eva, leaving the two of us behind.

[ "So? Did you have your fun?" ]

I was looking at her with a smile, and she was pouting cutely like an adorable little girl.

[ "You didn't let me do it! I'm upset~!" ]

She sounded very much happy to me though, but if that was her answer, I had to humbly accept it for now.

[ "Haaa… well, it's fine anyway. You will get many chances in the future. So for now…" ]

I smiled at her, and nodded, and gave her a warm forehead kiss.

[ "Dummy…" ]

She was smiling warmly with a blush, but, she returned my forehead kiss, and nodded back.

She couldn't have her surgery, but I yelled at her for the first time, and even called her a bitch, cursed at her, and even pushed her back with a little force. She was happy to have all these sweet things, she loved them more than some bloody surgery, so she was happier this way.

She liked it, but I did not. And she loved it even more because of this fact.

'My lovely sadistic dum-dum. Haaa…'

"Alright."

We also walked out of the artificial dungeon simulator with Eva and Nes, walked out of this testing room, walked back to the corridor we had come from, and went to the elevator area where a certain elevator was already waiting for us.

"H-hello-"

"No need for that. I have already received the orders."

Unlike how we had come up with a smaller elevator, this time, we were going in the bigger one in the center that was only used to go to the important floors of the association tower and the top floor, not the terrace but the top floor one can go to with the elevators, which was now our destination.

'It's going to be fun now, I know that much.'

There was a smile on my face, I was holding the cool and pretty hand of my El, Nes and Eva were unsure of whatever was going on, but they weren't worried. Instead, the joy of riding the big elevator was more fun for them than the excitement of the destination few in the empire had ever had the chance to visit.

'The branch manager and the people in charge of other major departments of the association…'

Those six were strong people, but that strength mostly came from their abundant talent and experience.

Not all of them were geniuses, but surely, they all were characters that we would love to milk out dry with a smile on our faces.

We already gave them everything they might need to follow the paths we wanted them to, so, this was fun~.

"Sir! We have arrived."

"Enter."

Just a few steps outside the elevator was a tall brown wooden door enchanted with powerful defensive magic.

The door itself could only be opened after permission from the manager inside, so, none could enter this place without his permission or using some other underhanded method.

'Of course, one can just use a master key, or have someone like El on their side if they wanted to infiltrate that place. It was pretty easy anyway.'

But we were invited here this time, so, as soon as we received the permission and entered the big room that covered the entirety of the top floor, our eyes fell on the six characters of the end part of this long arc.

"Welcome everyone. We have been waiting."

The association branch manager, swordmaster Kevin Nectron, was the first one to greet us with a unique smile, and beside him was sleeping his world-famous companion, one of the few remaining rare creatures, a [Black flame lion].

He had lived with him from the start of his journey and they had been together but, both of them were old now. And though after becoming a swordmaster he had gained a greater lifespan, his companion was reaching the end of his journey.

Old age… everyone was subjected to the eternal suffering and cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

He had lived, and he would die in a few years, or at least, that's how it should have been.

"Hmmm? That lion is sick isn't he?"

We could give him more time but we had no reason to do that yet, but our dear friend Nes was a good person. A purely good person that couldn't see someone die before it was their turn.

'And truthfully, this lion could actually have a pretty good life ahead of him.'

"How… do you know?"

Sir Kevin was confused how she knew about his illness but, I knew if it was Nes, a practically very close creature of nature and worlds, she could naturally tell the true conditions of any creature.

"I just know. I always do. But that aside… can I try healing him?"

And, even though she was asking so humbly, I had no doubt that if it was her…

"Heal him…?"

She can definitely do this simple thing.
