In the dim evening, Evelia raised her small, glowing hand, her face bright from eating well throughout the day. The yellow lamplight shone from above, causing her already plump cheeks to appear even fuller.

“I’m leaving!”

“Please do.”

“That wasn’t a farewell to you. It was to Ash.”

“This is truly the end!”

Marbas, who seemed ready to give her a knock at any moment, swung his clenched fist before abruptly throwing a box from his hidden left hand. Evelia caught the box in surprise.

“Hey, Peanut. Take this. And don’t come back.”

Inside the box were nicely packaged pieces of tapas, which Evelia had enjoyed eating earlier.

“You……”

“What. Why. Because I was a better devil than you expected?”

“Did you poison this?”

“Give it back!”

Marbas scowled and reached out as if to snatch it back. Avoiding his hand, Evelia gave a bright smile.

“Thank you. I’ll enjoy this, Marbas.”

“A few pieces of tapas, and you’re grateful. Humph.”

He felt awkward hearing her thanks. Marbas’ ears turned a deep red. This Peanut never backed down from a fight.

Every word she spat out was either irritating or flippant, making it clear she was no ordinary Peanut.

Evelia, who had been staring at the tapas in the box, suddenly rummaged in her bag. She dug deep inside and pulled out two lemon candies.

They were quite small, but when placed on her fernlike hand, they filled it up. Evelia unexpectedly held out her hand to Marbas.

“Marbas, you should have one of these, too.”

“What, what, what is this tiny candy doing for a demon like me.”

“If you don’t want it, say so.”

“Who said I didn’t want it? Give it to me. I have to get something out of the trouble you caused me today.”

As if trying to snatch it back, Marbas quickly grabbed the candy.

‘She’s a mischief, but not a bad devil.’

Evelia stretched out her hand and gently tapped Marbas’ hand.

“Don’t act so horribly when we meet next time. Speak kindly.”

“Humph. Who are you to tell me that?”

“If not…”

“What? Are you going to tell your lord?”

“I will find out your name and summon you as my servant demon.”

“…….”

The task of making a highranking devil a servant was almost impossible, but the peculiar Peanut declared it with a serious expression, causing a worry that it might actually be possible to rise up.

This tiny creature is quite threatening. Extremely temperamental.

In front of the devil, who was taken aback by the young girl’s plausible threat, a sword flashed by out of nowhere. Marbas, instinctively dodging the sword, glared fiercely at Alec.

“Do you want to die?”

“Hey, devil. It was fun earlier, wasn’t it?”

“What are you talking about? It was hard just watching you.”

“Let’s do it again next time. I’ll smash your pitiful swordsmanship.”

“You’ll float even if you fall into the water with that thick neck of yours.”

As if bewildered, Marbas chuckled, and Alec followed with a grin.

While Alec couldn’t be considered on good terms with Marbas, who was known as a highranking devil, Alec’s unconventional swordsmanship was more than enough to interest Marbas.

Among the superb swordsmen who were hard to find as opponents, a wonderful duel partner like Alec was welcomed.

On the other hand, Enril climbed onto Agares’ head and swung her cotton candylike front paws in front of him.

“Devil, devil.”

“Get out of the way. I can’t see.”

“I decided to find a cave.”

“So you said.”

“The money was thrilling. I should steal some treasure from the landlord’s treasure house and bury it in the cave.”

This stupid dragon can’t pick a fight. Agares brushed off Enril’s paw that was blocking his view.

“……If you rob Hugo Artina’s assets, you’ll end your short dragon life. Steal from other humans.”

“I heard the emperor is the richest among humans. Should I rob the emperor’s warehouse?”

“Steal from some easier human.”

“But I can’t steal from our sister’s purse.”

It’s the easiest one.

Without realizing it, Agares halfnodded and then forced himself to regain his senses. Even though our little one is easy to steal from, I am here to prevent that.

Agares scooped up a few gems that were rolling on the negotiating table into a bag and tied it tightly around Enril’s neck.

“Cough!”

“Bury it in the cave for now. Just live quietly until you have a sense of discernment. Don’t barge into Hugo Artina’s treasure vault. Don’t go to the emperor and demand the treasure spewing fire. Don’t trick our little one into thinking you’re easy and all. Got it?”

Before the dragon, thoroughly charmed by capitalism, could cause a disaster as a harbinger of calamity, Ageres silenced its mouth with wealth.

The young dragon nodded vigorously and carefully cradled the bag of treasures.

“Thanks for the treasure, demon!”

‘How did our little one end up picking up such a pathetic dragon.’

Ageres, who had been squinting his eyes, lowered his gaze to the weak grip he felt below. His little friend was lightly tapping his robe.

“Bunny, no, Ash! I’ll come to play again.”

“Anytime. Feel free to call me Bunny.”
