I got my demon.
Although it was a sudden event, I was able to make a contract with a demon, a user of curses, at the right time and strengthen my own power.
I had originally planned to make a contract with the demon, but thanks to Illario, I was able to move my plans forward a lot.
Even now, Astarot is talking with Lilith in front of me as I return to my room.
‘Heh, so Lilith was a raging deity. You must have an unusual aura.”
”Hmph. I never thought I’d be working with a demon. To be honest, the atmosphere is bad.”
“Fufu. Don’t say that. You and I are both faithful servants of Master Luca.”
“Don’t lump me together with you ! I signed a contract with Luca on equal terms !
“Oh, is that so? But a slave contract isn’t bad either. I love Master Luca, and I can’t help it.”
“What’s so good about it !? You’re disgusting !”
“That’s terrible….hiks. Master Luca, please comfort me when I’m hurt. Ufufu.”
Astarot said as she hugged my body.
Her ample breasts wrapped around my arms.
Hmm, not bad.
“Don’t fight too much. We’re going to be friends from now on.”
“I’m opening up on Lilith. But she doesn’t seem to like me.”
“That said, Lilith.”
Don’t blame me ! It’s common knowledge that deity and the demon don’t get along.”
“Lilith, you are not a beneficial deity, are you? You’re just like the demon.”
“Don’t lump me together !”
Lilith snapped !
I can understand her feelings. I don’t have a good memory of the word “demon” either.
I don’t want to speak with prejudice, but I can’t help but have a negative image of it in my mind.
When I met her, she seemed like a normal girl for a slave.
…Her head is a bit off, though.
“I have no intention of getting along with her ! But I’ll stop fighting her, for Luca’s sake.”
“Thank you, Lilith. That’s good enough for me.”
I’m not trying to say that they should actively be friends. Anything was fine as long as it wasn’t too loud.
I glanced back at the book in my hand.
This was the book on curses that Illario had borrowed. I had snatched it from him when I left him.
“Master Luca.”
“Hm? What is it?”
“The book seems to have something to do with the curse.”
“Yeah. Since I’m here, I thought I’d study a little. I’ve already used a lot of magic power.”
This is a study while waiting for natural recovery.
“If that is the case, please ask me questions. I can answer your questions if they are of the level that a human being would write down.”
“Heh, that’s handy.”
I had no idea that the demon had such a use. But now that I think about it, it’s living knowledge itself.
I closed the book with a snap and decided to ask her directly.
“Well, let me ask you a question. Some curses can kill the target, right? What is that?”
From that point on, I spent the next two or three hours asking Astarot questions.
Once the aura and magical power have recovered to a certain extent, I move on to operation and control training.
Of course, there was also training in enhanced magic.
Astarot was stunned by the strengthening magic she had seen for the first time. Then, when she was injured, she simply refused, saying things like, [I want you to shoot me too. Just as long as I don’t die.]
What a slave.

“Hm? What the…..Muramasa…..”
That night after training.
All that was left was to go to bed. As I was about to take care of my Muramasa before rolling over in bed, a strange sensation went through my entire body.
I intuitively understood.
“–Evolved?”
Strictly speaking, some of my abilities have been released.
Perhaps it is the result of making a contract with the supreme demon Astarot.
The spell power that flowed from her broke one of Muramasa’s seals.
It is also an interesting ability right from the start.
“I see. The curse itself is caged in Muramasa?”
The ability that was released was a curse.
It is a vicious power that inflicts multiple curses on the target it cuts.
It is not as effective as instant death, but even a graze will inflict a nasty curse. It’s really reliable.
“I like it. It’s about time for the first event to start. My guess is that there is a high probability that it will lead to a battle. I hope I’ll be able to do some test cuts then.”
With a guttural sound, I pulls out Muramasa.
I was mesmerized as I looked at the slightly purplish blade.
For some reason, Lilith is taken aback.

It is night when the people have gone to bed.
In front of the black-clad men gathered in a dimly lit cave, a man with a scruffy beard says,
“You bastards…it’s festival time !”
“Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !”
The fellowship shouted loudly in time with the man’s words.
The air inside the cave trembled. In response to the shouts, which resembled cheers, the bandana-wearing man continued.
“The next target is the Royal Academy in the royal capital. We are going to steal the items–the treasures that lie there !”
“What about killing !? Is killing okay, boss?”
“Yes. You can do whatever you want. Kill anyone who gets in the way. But there is one person I want to kill.”
“And that is?”
“That’s right. His name is Luca Salvatore. You get it? He’s a member of the Duke of Salvatore’s family !”
“Whoaaa !”
The excitement of the men rose to the max. Murderous intent is now in everyone’s eyes.
After confirming this, the man announced once again.
“Enjoy it ! Kill them ! Take it ! It’s our future ! If we take the treasure we’re after, we can kill even more people !”
The mood in the cave was now festive.
There was a clear desire to kill in their eyes.
A new assassin was about to approach Luca and the others—.
