Chapter 2

I believe I should explain the details of how he, Nine, has ended up in this situation .

Nevertheless, there is too few data to talk about .

It reaches the point that future historians continue to debate as to whether Nine was his real name .

In spite of that, there is no one who doubts the existence of that human .

It is because the things he has accomplished had influenced the humans and demons too much .

Some say, 「Hero」 .

Some say, 「Ringleader」 .

Some say, 「Traitor」 .

Some say, 「Insane」 .

For me the term unfaithful would be most fitting, however, the most fitting name would be this .

「Devil」 .

In the Salia Faith, his name is treated the same way as the devil . Among rising factions the term devil is not pointed towards the demons, but to the person named Nine .

Therefore, due to the truth of him that is not placed in the history books, I believe that his true significance cannot be judged .

That is why I speak .

As the one closest to him, and as the one who tricked him .

About me, a single, powerless human being that fell to h.e.l.l, and that is looked down upon by the humans and demons .

About my sin .

About my love .

I have not regretted a single thing, therefore this is not repentance .

To reflect on this would be to dirty him, therefore I will not apologize .

However, think of it as atonement towards him, believe in only that .

That is why, please listen to my memories .

—ah, where exactly did the curtain of fate open…
