Chapter 50
"The Supreme Demon revival... is that it?"
The shocking truth left me no choice but to echo his words. Yet one thing was clear.
"They're using the stolen magic—the magic they took from Albert-sama, right?"
Albert-sama’s curse drained his magic once a day. The caster’s goal? The Supreme Demon's resurrection. In other words, they were siphoning his power to fuel it. That’s what this curse was for.
"Exactly, Lady Yūka. Albert is my reincarnation. His magic is nearly identical—no, it is my magic. The Supreme Demon’s own power."
"So… Noir-san, are you the one they’re trying to revive?"
"Correct. By the way, Lady Yūka, have you heard of a cult called the ‘Supreme Demon Sect’?"
"No, I haven’t… Judging by the name, do they worship the Supreme Demon?"
"Spot on. The ones who cursed Albert belong to a faction within it—the ‘Garden of Black.’ They revere the Supreme Demon of the ‘Clan of Black.’"
"Just to confirm… Noir-san, you are of the ‘Clan of Black,’ correct?"
"Aye. I am the last Supreme Demon of that lineage."
"Meaning… they discovered Albert-sama’s connection to you?"
"Precisely. Hence the curse—to steal his magic and resurrect me… or a being close enough to a Supreme Demon"
Noir-san’s explanation reeked of selfishness. Frankly, I’d never had a good impression of cults—thanks largely to those subway sarin attackers, but I digress.
So, in short—
"...For that? That’s the reason Albert-sama has been suffering?"
To me—
"To us, it’s a farce. But to them? A mission heavier than life itself."
—the Demon God Sect was

an unmistakable enemy.
"...Oh? That’s quite the fury you’re nursing, Lady Yūka."
Noir-san narrowed his eyes, studying me as if gauging something.
"...Hearing this, how could I stay calm?"
"Hmm. …You’re fortunate, Albert. It seems her feelings aren’t one-sided."
"...If you’re done teasing, Noir, save it for later."
"Hahaha! My apologies. I couldn’t resist prying into young love."
"You look anything but remorseful."
"A couple in love! What’s more wonderful than that?"
"Noir-sama, enough frivolity. Let us return to the matter at hand."
"Ah, right. Albert, Lady Yūka."
"What is it?"
"Yes?"
"From this moment on, I intend to make you both stronger—far stronger than you are now. We will thwart the Supreme Demon Sect’s schemes. We will stop the Demon God’s resurrection. And to do that… we’ll lend you our power."
