I will defeat Beelzé and continue enjoying my life with everyone by my side!
“I’m not going to lose. I’ll defeat him—no matter what—and protect everyone in the process! You’ll see,” I said.

“Leave it to me, okay?” I said to her with a smile. With that, I told everyone to go wake up the maids and evacuate them into town.
Our mobilization had begun.
