I don't want to be an elf!

Yuzuru Yamai proudly puffed out her chest, her usually calm tone rising slightly: "In the end, Yuzuru, as the caring older sister of the Anti-Magic Section 4, won the final score. Doesn't Kaguya know that the members of the Anti-Magic Section 4 all prefer Yuzuru?"

"Tch, tch, tch, so what if you get along better with the other guys? That's not the only criterion for the score!" Yagyuu Yamai pouted unhappily. "I've eliminated four more demons than you this month. Don't think you can win just because you have better interpersonal relationships. The score still depends on your hard skills!"

“I agree. If that’s what Yagyu thinks, then Yuzuru, who defeated the Sword Demon and captured the gang leader, must be even stronger.”

"Stop joking! You were just lucky to run into them. If I had encountered them, I could have dealt with them just as well!"

"Correction: Luck is also part of strength, but Yuzuru is glad that Yagyuuya is aware of his bad luck."

"Huh? You really dare to say that! Speaking of which, we've never had a luck contest before, so how about we settle it with a pachinko match tonight!"

“Agreed. Since Yagyuya wants to lose miserably, then Yuzuru will play along to the end.”

As they spoke, the two girls stood up at the same time, as if they were about to leave.

The electric current couldn't keep up with the speed at which their topics changed.

Before he could even react to what had happened, the decisive Yamai sisters had already disappeared from the villa.

"So, do these two guys really not care about their scores?"

Dianci sat on the sofa, looking completely bewildered. After a long while, he came to his senses and gave a few bitter laughs.

"Forget it, it's better that you left. At least you can give me some more time."

----------

----------

The Yamai sisters flew out of the villa.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived above the clouds.

They breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they had reached a height inaccessible to ordinary creatures and after looking around and finding no animals.

Throughout this period, Machima's surveillance of them never ceased.

As a dominating demon, she can also control any animal, making them her eyes.

Therefore, even when no one is around, the Yamai sisters dare not stop acting.

But today, they have to talk about it.

"It seems that Makima is planning to use us as an appetizer." Yuzuru Yamai said helplessly, "I was wondering why that guy would arrange for us to be next to Denji. So that's what he was planning."

As time travelers, they were naturally aware of Machima's ambitions.

Although it sounds unbelievable, the reality is that Machima, who controls demons, wants to create a world where everyone is equal.

In a world where demons exist, this is not a fantasy.

Although demons on earth are said to be reborn in hell after death, and demons in hell are said to be reborn on earth after death, demons are, in a sense, immortal when they are born from the concept of death. However, there is a way to eliminate demons.

That is being devoured by the chainsaw demon.

The demon devoured by the chainsaw demon will not only disappear in its existence, but also in the concept upon which it is based.

The current Chainsaw Demon is dormant within Denji's body, having entered into some kind of contract with him.

Machima's goal is to awaken the sleeping chainsaw demon, control it, and then use its power to devour other demons.

The demons of war, famine, and disease...

Ultimately, it even comes down to dominating the demon itself.

After all the demons are devoured, a true era of peace and prosperity will arrive... at least, that's what Machima thinks.

Therefore, she needs to make Denji feel pain, so that he no longer wants to live and will voluntarily break his contract with the Chainsaw Demon.

Her approach was to surround Dianci with his friends, allowing him to experience happiness and joy.

Then, they took away the people around him one by one.

Due to the appearance of the Yamai sisters, and the fact that only one of them could remain, Makima took advantage of this and handed over the decision-making power to Denji, thus beginning the first step of her plan.

Upon entering and seeing Denji's expression of utter despair, and hearing him mention the rating, the Yamai sisters immediately realized Makima's plan.

This is bad news not only for Denji, but also for them.

"It doesn't matter whether you or I win in the final score, a tie is also acceptable. We just need to proceed according to the original plan."

Yagyuuya looked troubled, scratching his head as he said, "But she insisted on letting Denji decide who wins and who loses. What should we do?"

"What else can we do?"

Yamai Yuzuru let out a deep sigh.

"We'll do what the original author did with Yamai."

Chapter Nineteen: A Perplexing Choice

In the dead of night, all was quiet.

The cool moonlight shone down from the crescent moon, bringing a touch of brightness to the world along with the sparse stars.

In the dead of night, when everyone should be asleep, Dianci, who is usually fast asleep, is unusually standing on the balcony, gazing into the distance.

He held a cigarette he had gotten from Hayakawa Aki in his hand, seemingly wanting to take a couple of puffs to relieve his melancholy, just like others do.

However, being a first-time smoker, he couldn't stand the pungent taste and, after coughing a few times, threw the cigarette off the balcony.

"Oh, you're still awake?"

A gentle breeze brushed against my face.

As the girl's energetic voice rang out, Denji turned his head slightly and saw Yamai Yagyuuya appearing above the balcony at some unknown time.

"You guys finished playing pachinko?" Denji asked listlessly. "Who won in the end?"

"Haha! It is me, of course!"

With his hands on his hips, Yagami said smugly, "That guy Yuzuru had the audacity to say that my face was dark, but I crushed him with an overwhelming victory. That guy is still sulking, I wonder where he ran off to vent his anger!"

"That's good."

"What's wrong? You still seem to be in a bad mood?"

"No."

"It's obviously there."

Yagyuuya floated in the air, upside down, staring at Denji: "Is it because Makima gave you the decision-making power?"

Upon hearing this, Denji's eyes widened slightly.

My heart skipped a beat and started pounding.

"How...how did you know about this?" His voice was a little hoarse. "Did someone else tell you?"

“You said today is the evaluation day, and I’m not stupid. I can guess this kind of thing with a little effort.” Yamai Yuzuru covered her mouth and laughed. “Hmph, I didn’t expect that Yuzuru and I are quite important to you. You usually wouldn’t even give me a pudding, but now you’re so heartbroken because of us.”

"Would it kill you to say less?!"

A wave of shame washed over him for no apparent reason. Denji blushed and gave Yamai Yakuya the middle finger.

Yagyuuya was not annoyed; instead, he burst into laughter.

"Aren't you going to let the devil sleep?!"

Just then, the lights in Pawa's room suddenly turned on.

A face with a pair of bright red horns on its forehead popped out of the window, glared at the two people, and shouted, "What are you making so much noise in the middle of the night! I hate rude people the most!"

"People who don't flush their toilets have no right to talk about manners!"

"What do you know? I'm saving water for humanity."

Pawa snorted and then retreated back into his room: "If you want to chat, go somewhere else. Don't disturb my sleep!"

Dianci raised an eyebrow, preparing to climb over and burst through the window to continue his battle with Pawa.

However, his sleeve was grabbed by Yamai Yakuya.

“Pawa is right, it’s getting late.”

"Too......"

Just as Denji thought that Yagami was planning to go back to his room to sleep, his perspective suddenly changed.

He felt a strong gust of wind lift his body, causing him to lose his weight and float in the air.

"Let's listen to her and continue our conversation elsewhere!"

Yagyuuya pointed to the sky, surrounded by the power of the wind.

Then, it suddenly accelerated.

The fierce wind blowing in his face made it hard for Dianci to open his eyes, and his thin clothes fluttered in the wind.

I don't know how much time passed, but when I sensed that they had stopped moving, Denji opened his eyes again.

What comes into view is a city shrouded in darkness.

However, the city itself is not dark; on the contrary, it shines with colorful neon lights in the night, revealing a unique beauty.

This was the first time I'd been to such a height, with a panoramic view of my city. Even I was awestruck by the sight.

He doesn't understand beauty, let alone art.

But anyone who sees this scene will feel something.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Yagyu asked with a smile. "I have been to every corner of the world and seen many different landscapes, but this landscape, which belongs only to humankind, is my favorite."

After saying that, a sense of relief and nostalgia appeared in her eyes, and she murmured to herself, "I really hope I can continue to appreciate it in the future."

The good mood that had just risen in Denji's heart was once again ruined.

He probably already guessed why Yamai Yagyu was willing to chat with him tonight and even brought him here.

However, he was not surprised.

After all, he knew from the beginning, and everyone in the Anti-Magic Section 4 knew, that the Yamai sisters' ultimate goal was to devour each other and become the sole Wind Spirit.

Everything we have done so far has been for the purpose of achieving this goal.

"Denji, I have a request to ask of you."
