Prologue

“—Hey Shinobu, what would you do if I were to disappear?”

Reluctantly spilled words. Amber eyes flickering with worry. Slightly

bitten, well-formed lips. While I looked at her expression, my anxiety

grew.

“What do you mean… by disappear?”

The voice coming from my voice was unexpectedly stiff.

Machina Liebelei Orangelo. The girl in front of me was one of our

freeloaders, Luna’s little stepsister and a hybrid devil, but she was just

like family to me.

Therefore her words that hinted a farewell agitated me considerably.

On the way home from school. Machina was rooted on by all classmates

with smiles to run for the student council election. While she arrived on

our home road together with me, she seemed to ponder about her

participation in the election. But amidst that, Machina mentioned that

her father Bram replied with a letter on a rare occasion. Now she had her

expression clouded and I continued my words in confusion.

“You won’t go anywhere, will you?”

“…It’s not like it’ll be right away. But, my father said I should come

back to the demon realm soon in his letter… So I’m hesitant about the

election.”

Temporarily stopping her words, Machina smiled sadly.

“Running for the election, even though I might go away, is ridiculous,

right?”

“…You plan to go back to the demon realm?”

“I don’t know yet. It’s seems my father is coming over here soon, so I

plan to decide then.”

Machina’s words weren’t the ones I was hoping for. I wanted her to say

that she had no plans to go back. But,

“…I don’t know your reasons, but if you want to stay with everyone,

you’re always welcome in our house. If you don’t want to go back, just

tell me. I’ll help you then.”

When I called out to her softly, Machina slightly dampened her eyes and

hung her head a bit like that.
