"... sir, the backdrop to everything is over. Since the Esta incident, the Secretary may be disciplined for anything that has come without telling you the truth. I'm so sorry..."
In a room of a quiet white tower, Chester drowned his head deep as he felt shivering from the cold in his heart.
But the prestige of a ship sitting in front of such a chester, his elbows on the executive desk of a magnificent design, and his hands together under his sturdy, disappointing jaw, kept a spooky silence for a while.
Shester stood up to any reprimand during that time.
But Eduardo Muller, the secretary of the genus with the alias "Eagle of Elmour," murmured quietly with a really calm, no depressed voice instead of raising his anger, as usual.
"... I see... Lombardo..."
"... Ha... I'm sorry... I didn't even get a deputy secretary..."
Shester accidentally burst into tears and apologized to Muller.
But Muller slowly shook his head wide.
"... it's not your fault, Shester... how can you go against the devil with a human body... don't say anything more..."
"... yes... but, sir, please believe me? ……
When Shester asked slightly bewildered, Muller gilded his eyes as sharp as a hawk.
"Are you still lying to me over this period?
Shester was afraid and shook his head sideways in a panic.
"There is no annihilation! Everything I have just told you is an unmistakable truth!
"Good bye! I believe you. No matter how absurd your dream stories are, if you trust me, I will. It's too much talk, isn't it? I haven't been able to sort it out completely in my head yet..."
"Yes. That's natural. I haven't been able to sort myself out yet..."
"Hmm... so you were brought back by a demon named Dove, huh?
"Yes, it is"
"... so what's that dove?
"I immediately returned to hell. Whatever it was, my husband was in a state of provisional death for him..."
"Oh, you did. So... well, Satan... it's a name I never really thought I'd be there... but what happened to Satan?
"As it is. Negotiations with Menontius have broken."
"Really... Gaius, if you go back, with a thousand years of dragon flames... did you mean?
"Yes, the negotiation was a farewell because that wish was not fulfilled"
"So with that Menontius... is that a signal? What happened to those two?
"Perhaps Lennon and I have returned to earth as well..."
Muller nodded over and over again, chewing Shester's talk and swallowing it to include.
