The conversation with Risty-san proceeded very calmly. If anything, I felt that she was the easiest person to talk to among the Ten Demons I had met so far.
Itās not that Iām saying that what I thought of her, having great insight, was a mistake though. It was just that I feel like she was so keenly aware of the subtleties of other peopleās emotions that I felt that she might be able to use something like Sympathy Magic.
And just as how the person herself said she was good at it, she was a good talker and listener, which naturally got the conversation going.
As we continued chatting for a while, Risty-san looked as if she suddenly remembered something.
[ā¦ā¦Speaking of which, who are the other members of the Ten Demons that you have yet to greet.]
[Errr, the people named Phenix-san and Tiamat-san.]
[Of all people, it was those two huh. No, well, if youāre greeting everyone based in the pecking order, itās inevitable that those two will be the final onesā¦ā¦ This is seriously troublesome.]
[ā¦ā¦Are they really that bad?]
I had a slight hunch of what kind of person they were. Alice had mentioned about a sh*tty bird and a sh*tty snake, but I hadnāt met any of the Ten Demons that fit that description so far, so thereās a good chance that the sh*tty two would be about those two final members.
However, when I saw Risty-sanās heartfelt pitying expressionā¦ā¦ I felt unspeakable anxiety rising from within me, wondering if they really were that bad.
[The Ten Demons are basically a gathering of perverts with loose screws. Even the Deputy Leader, who had the most decent personality, has bandages wrapped around her body like a mummy. Chris-chanā¦ā¦ Donāt get too involved with any other members of the Ten Demons aside from me, okay? Theyāre completely nothing but harmful people who are only bad influences.]
[ā¦ā¦Well, usually, due to their nature, even Emperors donāt have the opportunity to meet any of the Ten Demons. The only person one would have the opportunity to meet would be Pandora-sama in events like the Hero Festival.]
How should I say thisā¦ā¦ That was a brutal way to say it. Looking at her face as she describes them as bad influences, it seems that she truly believes that.
Also, that Deputy Leader must be Pandemonium-san, right? I never had the chance to meet her, but bandages were wrapped all over her body? If she says itās ālike a mummyā, that means itās not a characteristic of her speciesā¦ā¦ Hmmm, this one had quite the personality as well.
[Anyhow, the Ten Demons are a bunch of good-for-nothing peopleā¦ā¦ but in regards to who the biggest problems among the Ten Demons were, Phenix and Tiamatās name would almost always be brought up. I mean, even if you take into account their abilities, just their other problems really bring them low on the pecking order. Honestly, Iād recommend not meeting them.]
[I- I seeā¦ā¦ However, since Iāve greeted each of the Ten Demons to this point, I canāt just leave the two of them outā¦ā¦ but is there anything I should be aware of before meeting them?]
[For the time being, I think you shouldnāt meet both of them on the same day, else your mind might not be able to handle it. Itās better if you meet them one at a time on two separate days. Thereās a high probability that Phenex would be dismissive of you in the beginningā¦ā¦ so if possible, itās better if you ākill her once at the beginning of your encounterā. Iām sure sheāll be somewhat obedient after killing her.]
ā¦ā¦Iām getting advice for greeting a person, right? A greeting method where you kill someone when you first meet them if possible doesnāt really exist in my common senseā¦ā¦
[Thereās a lot of things Iād like to throw a tsukkomi atā¦ā¦ but I donāt think itās possible for me to kill someone in the first place.]
[I guess youāre rightā¦ā¦ Hmmm, I wonder if thereās something you could do? Like, some kind of weapon or magic tool that inflicts āintense painā.]
[Intense pain? ā¦ā¦Canāt say I donāt have something that does that, but it really hurts like hell, so I donāt think itās a good idea to use it to someone I should be thankingā¦ā¦]
The only thing that comes to mind when I hear the words āintense painā is the piko piko hammer that Shiro-san gave me. Itās a scolding item that penetrates all of the targetās defense, forcing even those with no sense of pain to feel it, and inflicting only intense pain without dealing any physical injuries.
However, the power of the piko piko hammer is so great that even the worldās pinnacle beings like Alice and Fate-san fainted in agonyā¦ā¦ It was so dangerous of a weapon that even if I accepted it from Shiro-san, I havenāt used it at all.
[Phenix will do her best to look down on anyone who canāt kill her, so hit her with that right from the very start. If you donāt, Pandora-sama will snap and forcibly end your greeting right there and then.]
[Seriously, what the heck is with this Phenix-sanā¦ā¦]
My head is finding it hard to keep up with whatās going on. With how serious Risty-san look like, it must have been really serious advice from her point of view. It looks like she really wants me to inflict fierce pain to Phenix-san as my first move.
[Then, thereās Tiamat. Sheās basically insane, so donāt listen to whatever she says. It will only lead to mental exhaustion, so basically, you just ignore everything she says. Donāt try to communicate with herā¦ā¦ or better yet, meet her with earplugs on.]
ā¦ā¦Even though there are only two of the Ten Demons leftā¦ā¦ Iām kinda starting to feel anxious.
Serious-senpai : [ā¦ā¦Are they really that bad?]
? ? ? : [Letās see. If you were to put it really simplyā¦ā¦ Phenix = Physically Masochistic, Tiamat = Mentally Masochisticā¦ā¦ or something like that.]
Serious-senpai : [Theyāre both masochistsā¦ā¦]
