Editing Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha:Volume 7 Epilogue (section)

===Part 2===
After confirming that Riara’s presence had completely disappeared, Basara finally relaxed. After a layer of uncomfortable sweat had built up on his back, he felt as though he had barely escaped with his life intact.

“…Dad, what was that…”

“I don’t know…she should be Leohart’s older sister, a truly relentless person. She killed all of the Council members in the blink of an eye.”

Jin also kept his eyes on Riara who had just left the room, and only after answering the question did he turn back towards Basara.

“Seriously, how reckless…”

Smiling wryly, he stretched his hand out and brushed the dust off Basara’s cheek with his fingertips.

“You fought well…truly, I didn’t think that you would get so far. This way, the road to peace between the Moderates faction and the Current Demon Lord faction will improve. Just looking at the results, this is pretty good.”

“Just looking at the results, that may be so…but, I fought very dangerously from start to finish. I only found a way to defeat Leohart because of your help, dad. And being able to defeat that Demon God is all because Ramsas came to help us, as well as the combination of Mio’s and Leohart’s power.”

Basara smiled bitterly as he replied, and in the end—

“…I wasn’t actually talking about that.”

“Then what?”

Jin smiled at the confused Basara.

“It’s fine, I won’t talk about that…the situation has been resolved now.”

He then looked outside the window. So—

“……Well, for the time being.”

Basara also followed Jin and looked out. Outside the window — overlooking the arena, everyone surrounded Mio and Ramsas. Yuki and Kurumi, Maria and Zest, and even Lucia and Noel were present. After confirming once more that everyone was safe, Basara gently stroked his chest and muttered a heartfelt whisper

“I really hope that Mio will never be dragged into the politics of the Demon Realm from now on…”

“Although things will never go as planned…I think that should be fine.”

Jin continued

“After all, just as that ojou-chan said, the Council no longer exists.”
