Albero and his group were facing off against Leivinia and Nisrok in the S-class dormitory.
Garnet and his group went to report to the royal castle. According to Garnet, “The S-class is becoming even more famous. Be prepared,” although, to be honest, Albero didn’t really care.
The question is, what will the two of them do from now on?
Ashe spoke to Leivinia.
ㅤ
“What are you going to do now?”
“. . . . . .It seems we’re no longer needed. Once Demon Emperor-sama fully regains his power, he can control the demon beasts on his own. . . . . .It seems our abilities are no longer necessary.”
“Hmm. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Nisrok seemed sad.
Ridelle spoke to Kid.
ㅤ
“Kid, what will we do?”
“Don’t ask me. Well, even if they return to the Demon Emperor, they’ll probably be discarded. Setting aside 『Lust』, which I’ll kill, I can’t imagine the demon of 『Greed』 letting them all live.”
“. . . . . .Yeah.”
ㅤ
Leivinia stood up abruptly.
ㅤ
“Let’s get out of here. I don’t think Beelzebub is foolish enough to barge in here like Ogre. . . . . .If we stay here, we’ll cause trouble for the humans. I want to relax in a nice place for the last time. Nisrok. . . . . .Is that okay?”
“Yeah. I’ll follow my little sister. We’ve seen many colors in this world, and we’re already satisfied.”
ㅤ
Nisrok smiled brightly.
Leivinia also smiled. . . . . .but it was a sorrowful smile.
Albero spoke to the two of them.
ㅤ
“Stay here.”
“. . . . . .Huh?”
“You guys, join the S-class. Not as summoners, but as summoned beasts. . . . . .Well, it’s a special case.”
“Wait, Albero?!”
“You two risked your lives to protect everyone. I can trust you now.”
“I think so too. What about Kid?”
“. . . . . .Do as you like.”
ㅤ
Ridelle nodded, and even the reluctant Kid gave a casual nod.
Ashe was surprised but smiled.
ㅤ
“That’s right. . . . . .Yes. Leivinia, Nisrok, stay here. It doesn’t matter if you’re demons, let’s be together!”
“But if we stay, what about Florentia-neesama and Beelzebub?”
“It’s okay. We’re here.”
“Besides, 『Lust』 is coming. If I take it down, only 『Greed』 remains.”
“. . . . . .Is that really okay?”
“Yes. Right, everyone?”
ㅤ
When Albero said that, Ashe, Kid, and Ridelle all nodded in agreement.
Leivinia broke into a radiant smile.
ㅤ
“Alright. . . . . .I’ll stay here!! Right, Nisrok?”
“Hmm. . . . . .I’m getting sleepy.”
“Don’t sleep, you idiot!”
ㅤ
Leivinia smacked the head of Nisrok, who curled up on the sofa.

Afterward.
After returning to the dormitory, Lapis and Yorha formally greeted Leivinia and her group.
Then, Yorha promised to always protect Leivinia and her bother.
Lapis was determined to fight no matter what.
ㅤ
After that, Albero and the other S-class formally provided 『demon protection』.
Various opinions arose, but it was accepted because the demon subjugators, Albero and the others, desired it, and five out of twenty-one summoners approved it.
The demon of 『envy』 Leivinia and the demon of 『sloth』 Nisrok were taken in for protection in the S-class dormitory and started living there.
Based on the wishes of the S-class Summoners (excluding Kid), they began learning about the common sense of this world from Garnet. They were even allowed to go out shopping.
ㅤ
The S-class Summoners became heroes.
For defeating the demon of 『wrath』, which even the twenty-one summoners couldn’t defeat, each was awarded a medal and received a substantial bounty.
When barrels filled with gold coins arrived at the dormitory, Ridelle fainted, Ashe was almost distraught, Kid was delighted saying 『I got my drinking money』, and Lapis stored hers in her room.
Albero, as much as possible, sent gold coins to the homes of his F-class classmates. It was a large sum for him to keep, and he wouldn’t dare send it to his own home even if he died.
ㅤ
Several days passed. . . . . .as expected, 『lust』 did not come.
Probably the news of defeating Ogre and the betrayal of Leivinia and her group spread. Kid’s anger was immense, and it took Albero and three others to barely calm him down.
ㅤ
The S-class Summoners had become indispensable to the country.
About half of the B-class students also supported the S-class Summoners, with some even flattering Ashe during shopping and others trying to get close to Albero and Kid.
In Kid’s case, he had no reservations towards those who approached with clear ulterior motives.
ㅤ
It took a month for the S-class Summoners to get back to their daily lives.
