The cracks in the permafrost covering Satan grew thicker and longer with each passing of time, increasing its number.
"... we can get out of this for sure..."
Gaius groaned in a sighing mixture watching the cracks running one after the other, even though he was not going to do anything himself.
There, Carla and the others, numbed by a sudden and surprising situation, came up to the sky with Gaius using magic.
"Gaius, this is you?
The opening most Carla asked with surprise.
Gaius shrugged his shoulders and became an indescribable expression.
"No... I haven't done anything in particular... because this is just as soon as I have a contract with Satan... well, I guess that means that some ability as my peculiarity has been demonstrated..."
Gaius said in a blur.
Carla frowned and asked about the contents Gaius had talked about.
"What does a contract mean? I didn't hear much when I was downstairs?
"Oh, instead of teaching me new defensive magic, it's a contract to help Satan."
Gaius replied with anxiety to Carla's early arrow succession question.
"No, well... it's Satan's help to get out of this permafrost. However, I don't know how to do it at the moment, so I was talking about someday, but as soon as the contract was signed, the crack ran..."
Gaius said in the second half, as he became a small voice.
Carla asked Satan this time as she deepened the crease between her brows.
"Satan, you knew that, right? You knew permafrost would collapse the moment the contract was signed, didn't you?
Gaius felt the seriousness of the matter as Carla asked.
But now I thought I should leave it to Carla instead of coming forward, and Gaius pulled his mouth tight and tied.
Then Satan took a plethora of time and answered Carla's question in a heavy tone.
"You said Carla, didn't you? I don't care if you believe me or not, but I'll tell you the truth... I didn't know. I never thought that the permafrost would collapse like this..."
To Satan's confession, Carla thought silently for a while, keeping the crease between her eyebrows thickened.
"... is that really the truth? ……
Satan gave a loud laugh to Carla, who had finally opened her mouth.
"So I would have said. I don't care if you believe me or not..."
