The Testament of Sister New Devil (新妹魔王の契約者)

Winner of the first match is...

Naruse Mio!

I won't either.

"Those Contending For The Future"

No one knows where he comes from,

but everyone knows how strong he is!

The Masked Noble,

Lars,

finally takes the stage!

Why did you betray us?

Hey, now,

what good does asking that at this point do?

If I told you I had my own reasons,

would you go easy on me?

Second Match!

Lars versus Maria!

Go! Fight!

Could you be any more predictable?

I can't believe you'd use Valga's technique.

But—

Did you think you'd be safe

if you stayed in melee?

That's our impressive Masked Noble!

He's on a different level from that succubus!

Maria!

An explosion can be blocked by a magic barrier

as long as there's even a faint gap.

And Maria's even a lot stronger than she was then.

Your guard's wide open!

He nailed it!

Take that, bitch!

Prepare yourself!

Lars...

Why?

Don't cry!

We're going to become stronger!

We need to be strong enough

that we won't lose to anyone!

So...

don't cry over this!

Lars...

Why?!

How many times have you fought in that form?

Only a few at most, right?

It's worse when that's the first time you've transformed in the demon realm.

You're at the mercy of your own great power.

Avoiding attacks like that...

is hardly difficult.

You're asking for too much if you think using power you're not used to

will win the match.

I'm sure you wanted to win no matter what, but...

Too bad for you.

Kill her!

Kill her!

Kill her!

Kill her!

Shut up!

Listen close!

Whom I kill and when is my choice!

Be quiet!

Uhh...

I-It's settled!

Winner of the second match: Lars!

Now the score is tied one-to-one!

Yay!

Pardon me.

Lars is still Lars.

I'm sorry!

I'm going to go check on Maria!

Maria...

Basara...

Zest.

We're out of drinks.

Sorry, but could you bring us some?

Huh?

Please.

All right.

You're up next, Kurumi.

You need to hurry.

Yeah,

I'm going.

I'm going, but...

Onee,

listen.

Mio's not the only one

who gets to decide what she wants.

Huh?

You can go where you want

and do what you want, too.

Everyone, including me,

will support you all the way.

At the very least, say everything you want to say to me.

Kurumi,

I...

Kurumi,

thank you.

Third Stage!

Admirath versus Nonaka Kurumi!

The loyal retainer of council member Lord Madonis,

Viscount Admirath, takes the stage!

His fighting style is splendid and magnificent!

He's sure to drown this member of the hero clan in a sea of blood!

My name is Admirath.

Pleasure meeting you.

I'm sure you must be concerned

since Jin Toujou's son has yet to return,

but please fight well.

I think you can understand what I'm requesting of you.

I'm not going to fall for such petty tricks!

Are you stupid?

The choice is yours.

Just don't forget his fate depends on you.

It's a lie.

It has to be!

But...

But what if...

If I cause Basara to...

Third Match!

Admirath versus Nonaka Kurumi!

Go! Fight!

Are you sure she's going to be all right?

Yes. Don't worry.

I see.

How is Luka doing?

He's in a state of shock,

but he's resting in the medical room for now.

I see.

Setting that aside,

we have immediate matters here.

Yes...

Kurumi?

Something's wrong.

This isn't how she fights.

Kurumi...

Something's off.

Yes.

They look like they're fighting fiercely,

but their attacks are too simple.

First of all, that young woman would never

challenge Admirath to a contest of speed.

Most likely,

Admirath did something to her before the match.

What shall we do?

We have no obligations to help her, right?

This is a war.

But...

I'm concerned about the council's plots.

In that case,

I'll go investigate them.

I have a bit more time before my match, after all.

Please do.

Very good.

It's fun living up to the crowd's expectations.

Go, my trusted steed!

Basara-niichan!

Kurumi!

You danced wonderfully for me.

I appreciate it,

young heroine.

Farewell.

What do you think you're doing?

The match has already been determined.

Do you have any right to decide that?

Why, you!
