*All characters appearing are adults.

“You are Lilia. I’m Diana A genius called the Great Wizard. I wish you well in the future.”

A woman in a black robe came to visit.
Green hair down to her waist and yellow eyes shining like jewels.
Her skin is as pale as her corpse, but rather enhances her beautiful appearance.

Her name is Diana.
Came to Flosh with her husband, General Viper, to join her party.

And she was also a name Lilia had often heard.

“Diana? The Diana that Master Ann was talking about?”
“Wait, did you say Anne?”

When the name ‘Anne’ came out of Lillia’s mouth, Diana was startled.

“Are you talking about Anne, the human archmage? Is she that Anne?”
“Yes, he was my magic master.”
“Since when, since when did Anne act as your mentor? When was she in your town? The letter? Is he still healthy? Wasn’t she hurt or not?”

Diana continued to ask questions as she grabbed Lillia’s shoulders and shook them.
Lilia, who had been nervous, was startled by her sudden thrust.

“Hey, Diana.”

Emilia, who was next to her, restrained her.
Today I was wearing a black dress.

“Calm down. He’s surprised Even if you want to see Anne, you can’t do this. It’s not like we can meet like this right away.”

Decades have passed since Diana became the Devil’s aide.
During all that time, Diana never heard of her pupil.

All she hears is that her apprentice, Anne, succeeded her own and became her archmage.
That she accepted three of her disciples unlike herself.
And that her own rival was assisting her Anne.
No further information reached her ears.

How are you living now?
Could she have been ill? Could it be that something is wrong with her?
Diana was very worried.
While living with her family, she had tried to ignore the anxiety, but now her anxiety, which had been hidden by the idea that she would meet her soon, began to bloom again.

There was a reason why she lost her temper and rushed at Lilia.
Because it was the only opportunity to get the latest news from the student.
Diana did not want to miss that opportunity.

‘Master Ann…’

On the other hand, Lilia was very sad about this situation.

‘If Master had seen this scene…’

She must have wept loudly.
She had corrupted her own mentor, whom she admired so much.
Her teacher, who sacrificed herself for humanity, became the Demon King’s aide.
Hearing this news, you will be in great shock.

‘Master really liked alcohol. I wondered why he ate something so bitter, but he said he would understand when he became an adult.’

Occasionally Anne would bring up the story of Diana to Lilia.
Especially when she was drinking, she always talked about her own master.

Anne said she hated alcohol, she said.
She always said that when she saw Diana drunk and having accidents, she considered alcohol to be something she should never touch.
She said that if she ever became an archmage, she even had the idea of ​​demolishing the warehouse Diana had built to store her liquor.

However, after he heard that Master had passed away, he abandoned the idea of ​​demolishing the warehouse.

‘I shouldn’t do things like this, but I guess I’m becoming more like Master.’

I also threw away my promise that I would never do something like that, that I would never follow the madness of my teacher, who always carries a bottle of wine with me.
Anne always hid her master’s prized wine bottle under her robe.
Whether there is content or not.

Just looking at her drink made her feel like Master was by her side, so Anne could never throw away her bottle.

‘If we were alive, we could have had a drink together…’

Anne always regretted it.
That she should have prevented Diana from going on her expedition at all costs.
Had she known in advance that she would never come back, she would have stood in her way, she said, even in death.
For Anne, who can’t even remember her parents’ faces, Diana was nothing more than her own mother.

The news that her biological mother had passed away came as a shock to Anne.

‘Master, I have done this. I did well, didn’t I?’

When she gets drunk and falls asleep, she always talks in her sleep and seeks her master.
She always remembers the happy days of her childhood with her master.
Even though she was only a fleeting dream, the fact that she was able to live her dream made her very happy.

“… Master has always missed you.”

Is it because she has always seen such a teacher? Lilia began to tell her story.
She didn’t even have to take it out, but she thought, Lilia, she must talk.

“I wanted to have a drink with you,” She said. You always carried alcohol, and it was said that it was something you cared about.”
“What, what? The kid who hated alcohol?”
“I don’t drink in broad daylight. Drinking until drunk every evening was a headache.”

Seeing Diana startled, Lilia kept talking about her.

“It is said that it was very difficult without you. He said he just wanted to get rid of all the magic and hide. If it hadn’t been for Daan, I would have really run away.”
“I heard, but I can’t imagine that aristocratic lady would help.”
“I don’t know if he’s a noble, but anyway, thanks to that person, Master was able to become the current archmage.”

She didn’t stop and she kept talking.
Diana was very curious about how her apprentice, Archmage Anne, lived.
The more she listened to her story, the more Diana’s expression collapsed.

“Master returned to the city three months before the village was captured. He said that the invasion of demons was expected, so he had to do his best to defend the city.”

Being Anne’s pupil, she studied to die.
Then she covered herself with a blanket while she was asleep.
He was excited about using magic for the first time, which he considered a feat.
She even broke up with her in tears over having to return to the city.
Lilia recounted all of her memories with Anne that she could remember.

“This is all I can say.”
“Ah, Anne…”

In the end, Diana burst into tears and sobbed loudly.
Because she was finally able to hear the news of her most cherished pupil.
She was resigned to the reality that she couldn’t go even if she wanted to, but she was really happy to hear the news.

“I’m so glad you did, Diana.”

Diana was comforted by Emilia.

“I will be able to meet you soon. Eris said she sent an invitation to the king, so maybe we can meet her at the party.”
“Gee, really? Did you really send it?”
“Yeah, but we’ll have to see what happens.”
“Ji, I really want you to come. Ha, what I want to say, I really, really, really, hehe,”

I am so happy that I can’t stop crying.
I cried so much that I couldn’t speak properly.

It’s an unflattering look.
I never wanted to show it to my husband or son.

Even so, Diana couldn’t stop her tears.
She is finally able to hear the news she really wanted to hear, so how can she stop it?
She had simply come to help Lilia’s teaching assistant, and she never dreamed of hearing such good news.

“I didn’t expect you to be so happy.”

The disciple is the master.
When we bring up a story about each other, we shed tears right away.
It can be seen as proof that they cared for each other a lot.
Originally, seeing that figure, Lilia would have shed tears of joy as well.

But, if you care so much, why did you make that choice?
Lillia asked a question.

“If you valued it so much, why did you make that choice?”

As she experienced Emilia’s past, Lilia came to know.

That Diana had defected.
The demon king would win anyway, so he decided to stick with the winner.
That there was no other way to save mankind, so they decided to find a way to survive by clinging to the demon king.

I also learned that the method was a crazy plan to enslave the entire human race to the Demons.

“Are you going to make even your disciple from cattle?”

Are you going to turn even Anne, whom Diana cherished, into cattle?
Are you going to be raped by demons for the rest of your life, give birth to monster babies every day, and turn them into livestock that are exploited for breastfeeding?
Do you really think that’s for the best?
As Anne’s pupil, Lilia really wanted to know.

“Go, I won’t make it with cattle.”

Diana, stopping her tears, answered.

“I am not a parent so unkind to make my daughter her slave.”

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying too much.
Anyone who saw her would have thought that she was a person who went through a really sad event.

“You will live happily ever after with me.”

That is, if it wasn’t for the maniacal smile and the ghastly noise.

“I will make it like me and live with it for the rest of my life. I will marry my son and we will become a family. She will not leave the child alone.”
“Even if Master hates it?”
“Even if I don’t like it, I will force myself to do it. There is no other way to save the child.”

It was decided a long time ago.
Diana had no choice but to make a decision when she knew that it was impossible to defeat the demons.
Even though she calls herself her turncoat, she has no choice but to make this choice.

Rather than becoming livestock and being used, I’d rather make them my family.
They make them into the same demons and live together for a long time.
No one would let Anne be her slave.
Even if she refuses to be her demon, she will accept it.
She will definitely do it even if this is wrong.

Because I really hate breaking up again now.

“Okay, let’s stop chatting. You too should be educated.”
“Hey, wait! Wait a minute!”
“There is no point in saying that.”
“Ugh!”

Even today Lilia was lying on her floor in her naked state.
She tries to escape, but she backs up, but Diana uses her magic to stop it.
Rings of purple light restrained his limbs.
It was anchored deep into the floor and was impossible to unscrew.

“Now, who will help you in this room? Everyone just wants you to accept Eris.”

She knew that Lillia was on the verge of being tortured, but she had no one to help her.

“…”

Her grandmother, Livie, silently watches and smiles.

“Ha, ha, ha…”

Pimpernel just watched her gasping.

Her face was greatly reddened because she had been tormented by Emilia until this morning.
Her top was wet with breast milk.

“Lilia, have you told me before? If you don’t accept Eris, you won’t stop.”

Emilia had no intention of stopping it either.
She had a rather expectant look on her face.
I was really looking forward to seeing what kind of face I would see myself today.

“Eww…”

No one is out to help.
Diana approached with a mass of green-painted tentacles, but no one stopped her.

He was just making an expression that he wanted the hero to fall.

“Is there really no answer other than that way?”

Lilia was afraid of experiencing that hell again.
She’s already been through it once, and she didn’t want to go through it again.

You have to persuade them somehow.
Stop this madness right now.
Please, I must ask you not to kill the hero Lilia.
The last of her own, her remaining, must beg him not to kill her hope.

Lillia opened her mouth, knowing she wouldn’t.

“Please don’t do this. There must be another way other than this. There must be a way to live in peace other than being a slave!”

Diana was devastated.
She was overwhelmed by her demonic power, which was superior to that of humans.
Deeply aware of the gap she could never fill, Diana chose to cooperate with her demon lord.
Because she thought there was no way she could save the student and everyone other than that.

Could it really be anything but that?
Is there really no other way to save everyone?
Even if she is called a traitor by her disciples, is there really no other way than that?

“Ha, you really say the same thing as Emilia.”

At that, Diana snorted her snort.
She was so upset that she was at a loss for words.

“There is no other way. You’ve already seen Emilia’s past, you know? We can’t win It is your destiny to become a slave to the demons and be abused.”

It’s already over.
It ended as Diana expected.

“All the defense lines have collapsed, and all the sea routes have been blocked. Can we really win when all the angels who will help us are enslaved?”

The kingdom stands at the crossroads of destruction.
The city Anne is guarding will also fall.
No matter how much troops are recruited and fought to the death, it is useless.
Only the lifeline is slightly extended.

Is there any hope of saving even the angels, who are allies, in the yard where they are enslaved?
Even the hero, who can be called the last hope, is now going to be made the successor of the demon king?
Diana had no intention of going against this.

Because going against it means that the pain gets worse.

“Lilia, don’t reject it, accept it. Let’s aim for the next best thing like we did. Huh? It is for you.”
“No! I like the demon king’s soother…”
“Okay, talk time over.”
“Now, wait, wait, wait… Uhhhhh?”

I couldn’t continue the conversation any longer.
Just as Emilia had done, Diana put a mass of her tentacles on Lillia’s head.

“Uhhhhh!”

Numerous slender tentacles unfold.
It is embedded in all areas where it can be inserted, such as the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc.
She wriggled non-stop and began implanting her memories.

The memories of the Archmage Diana.
Her past, which forced her to defect, began to enter Lillia’s head.

“Whooooo!”

My eyes went dark for a moment, and then I started to see something.
A man with purple bobbed hair in a white robe began to appear.
The man was looking at Lilia, no, at her own test subject, with an expression of interest.

And,

‘Hate it! I don’t want to be a monster. I don’t want to be aaaaa!’

The Archmage’s desperate cry echoed.
