The start of a new adventure.

The next morning.

Léa: Are you leaving already, Alaster?

Alaster: I have a report to make to the capital.

Alaster: That talking Bogu... I'm pretty sure he talked about a "Lord". If we can find out where this lord is...

Edna: Bogu? You mean that pig demon I beat in one hit?

Alaster: You didn't beat him! It's clear that he ran away... In fact, "Bogu" is a code name, given by the capital.

Alaster: Every demon we receive a report on has a code name to make things easier. By the way, you're coming with me, witch.

Edna: What, but why?! And stop calling me a witch, it's extremely unpleasant.

Alaster: I can't lose sight of a threat like you. What if you suddenly turned into a demon?

Edna: Hey, I've trained enough to resist the darkness.

Edna took a moment to think before saying to herself.

Edna...(Wait a minute. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all. After all it means I'll eat well every day.)

Edna: Actually... Okay.

Edna's reaction had greatly surprised Alaster, who watched silently in astonishment.

Alaster: (Weird... I expected more resistance. Would she have reason to follow me?)

Alaster: At least I won't have to beat you and drag you everywhere.

Edna: We have short memories, huh?! Do you want to fight?!

Léa: Ahem!

Edna: But he started it!

Edna took a moment to think before answering him.

Edna: Good! I come with you on 3 conditions.

Alaster: Name them.

Edna: One! I want three meals a day, and you'll make them all!

Alaster: This is my usual routine, I will just have to double the dose.

Alaster: And judging by your powers and your personality, at best you should know how to burn a Game Steak, without any idea of ​​how to cook anything.

Alaster: I have no desire to eat such a thing, so your first condition is accepted. Next.

Edna felt a slight embarrassment and exclaimed internally: (How does he know all that??)

Edna: Two! I haven't said it, but I'm traveling to find my long lost brother.

Alas: The brother... of a witch? Don't talk nonsense, a male half-blood dies less than 10 hours after birth. We don't know why, but their bodies cannot tolerate demonic powers.

Edna: He's... Peculiar. But it's true that he wasn't very robust.

This revelation pushed Alaster to think deeply, many questions raced through his mind.

Alaster: (Was? So he's a demon now. And if the sister has that much power...)

Alaster: (But none of the Royal researchers have ever found anything about a male witch. I should include that in my report.)

Edna: ???

Alaster: (Well, that kills two birds with one stone. We can't leave such a dangerous demon out in the wild.)

Alaster: So you want me to help you locate it?

Edna: That's it.

Alaster: Very good. When we get to the capital, we will surely find clues. There is a place there that centralizes information. It pains me to say it, but you saved my life and the lives of all those villagers.

Alaster: My knightly code requires me to repay my debt. And your last condition?

With a bright smile, Edna said to him: Woah, you're quite nice actually.

Alaster: Don't get me wrong. If you were to turn into a demon, I would not hesitate for a second to kill you. Witches become vulnerable during their transformation. It's easy to kill them when it occurs.

Edna: I don't want to destroy everything and massacre innocent people either, you know? So if I ever transform... please kill me while I'm still human...

Alaster: ....

Edna's attitude had revived tender memories in Alaster, which pushed him to think: (She... She reminds me a little.)

Alaster: When that happens, be sure I'll kill you without you even having to ask.

Edna: Thank you, Alaster.

Léa: You see, you already like each other.

Alaster: For your information, Léa, I only keep them to prevent him from turning into a demon.

Léa: Of course. In any case, I'm happy to know that you're going to travel together. Just take care of yourself. If you need anything, come see me, I will be happy to help you.

Leo: I don't look like it, but I'm a blacksmith! I can make you some amazing equipment.

Edna: Thank you both very much. I'll come back one day.

Edna: And now, on to the capital!

Alaster: You still haven't told me your third condition.

Edna: Hey, forget it, it's not that important right now.

Very good, that's less worry for me. Let's go.

Our dear heroes therefore took leave of the villagers who had welcomed them; a new adventure awaited them on a land populated by demons. Edna and Alaster, although so different from each other, found themselves united in this quest. Will this alliance between a witch and a knight succeed in achieving its goal?
