Q: What happened while I was unconscious?

A: The guy called Kuro beat you up and by making you waste your energy, the power that was sustaining Wrath was completely used up. Thats why you can now stay sane. To confirm that you really wouldnt activate Wrath for now, I quarantined you safely in another dimension.

Q: Who is Kuro?

A: A god of this world. However, hes an indecisive loser.

Q: What connection does he have with you, Shiro-san?

A: For now hes cooperating with us. For the sake of convenience hes expected to be placed under the Demon King.

Q: The Demon King?

A: The Demon King.

Q: Umm, by Demon King you mean the king of the demons?

A: Literally no, but you can think of it like that for now.

Q: What about that girl I was fighting?

A: Shes a vampire. Shes currently pretty much living in the demon country. Incidentally, shes a reincarnator.

Q: Whats her name in the previous world?

A: Negishi Akiko.

Q: Her attitude has really changed.

A: Shes been through a lot.

Q: Is Negishi-san okay?

A: Shes okay. Shes been punished a bit for recklessly fighting you though.

Q: I, I see. Ive done something bad then I guess.

A: Thats not the case. You dont need to worry about it.

Q: What are the other reincarnators doing?

A: Most are under protection of sensei with the elves. Some of the others are at a human academy though. Yamada-kun and Ooshima-kun are among the academy group.

Q: Is it far from here to that human academy?

A: Its far.

Q: What will happen to me now?

A: Nothing. Since your sanity has returned you can do what you like.

The end question and answer session is complete. Well done me, really well done me. Incidentally, as for how much time it took, Im not going to say. Yeah, I became hungry in the middle and left the room once to go get some food, but it didnt take that long, really. Yes, really. Lets just leave it at that.

When I told oni-kun that he can do what he wants, he got a troubled expression instead as if pondering something or other. Well, suddenly being told you can do as you like and being abandoned, I guess youd be troubled. Should I hand him a lifeline perhaps? Were basically both reincarnators, so I wont be stingy on lending a hand.

If you have nowhere to go, then stay at my place for now?

I called it my place, but its really Baltos. Alternatively I can lend you this other dimension as well. Ah, but, if Im not here then itll become impossible for him to come and go, and hell die.

I could, I guess. To be honest, I really dont know what I should do from now on.

And thus, rather than taking in a lost lamb, Im taking in a lost oni-kun. First of all since him being half-naked is a bit out there, I returned to Baltos mansion and had the servants pick out some suitable mens clothes, and had him try them on. Because oni-kun under the influence of Wrath had lost his reason, he had the style like an oni out of a fairy-tale with just a single pair of pants to his wardrobe. Him at least just wearing the pants, was perhaps due to the last remaining sense of reason he had.

Then, after he put on the clothes, wafting in the air was this something aint right feeling. Oni-kuns face is the same as in his previous life, a Japanese persons face. Even if his species is an oni, thats still Japanese style. Japanese clothes or for the sake of argument perhaps some Chinese style armour would be better, but theres a huge sense of unease with him wearing western clothes. Rather unusually for me, I unthinkingly muttered out loud that it doesnt suit you though. It sure seems that he heard that mutter, and oni-kun seemed to be plainly shocked at it.

Hrm-mm. Somehow it just doesnt match. After all hes an oni swordbearer with a purely Japanese face, so try imagining him wearing the clothes of a western aristocrat? Ah, Balto is basically like that, amongst the demons hes at the very upper echelons, so I guess they only have suits for noblemen stored there. An oni clothed in a noblemans suit. Somehow, while the person himself might be able to accept it, I cannot. Oni-kuns original face has quite well balanced features anyway, and on becoming an oni hes gotten taller, so he is by no means unattractive. Hes not at all, but theres this uncomfortable feeling.

Yeah. Lets go with Japanese clothes. However, Japanese clothes dont exist though. On the long journey to the Demon Kings castle, we went around all sorts of places, but there were no Japanese clothes. Or rather, Japanese culture itself doesnt exist. Its another world so its just natural though. I somehow thought that if its D then it wouldnt be strange for her to forcibly establish a fake Japanese culture, but there was none.

If theres none then I can just make one then. Muhaha. There are no clothes that my threads cannot make! What kind of Japanese clothes would suit him best I wonder?

Ah, before that I gotta talk with Balto. For now, Ill have oni-kun wait in my own room. When I had asked the servants who went to get the clothes about if there were any available rooms, I heard that half the rooms in the mansion are available. Ah, well, its extremely spacious but theres surprisingly few people after all. The master, Balto, doesnt come back often either.

There no problem in terms of available space for oni-kun to stay here. I just need to get the OK from the mansions master. I teleport to the Demon Kings castle, and knock on the door of the office that Balto uses everyday. Even I have some common sense. As for suddenly teleporting into the middle of a room, its not like Ive never done it but I cant say I rarely do it either.

Come in.

I got permission to enter the room, so I open the door. This really is the Demon Kings castle at the summit of the demons, so normally I should pay attention to how I open the door too, but unfortunately such trivial manners are beyond me. I open the door trying to be as careful as possible. Besides, whenever Im forced to open my mouth, being helpless with things like tone or number of words are a far bigger problem than mere manners.

While thinking such things I enter the opened door, and there my prey Balto is fighting with documents. Thats fine. Its always the case that Balto seems about to die from being buried in documents. However, at the reception table in the office, his younger brother also being there looking over documents is unexpected.

What do you want?

The hoodlum glared! The spider guards the door!

Oi! Dont just up and leave without stating your business!

Ugh. Why is this guy here? What a blunder. Since I teleported and knocked on the door immediately, I didnt pay any attention to the possibility of others being there. If Id known he was here I wouldnt have wasted my time. Argh, what a pain.
