A Bet with Slutty Evil Being!

"Ah, I\'m Alex. I\'ve just returned from the planet Earth, where the humans live." Alex suddenly became aware that the words he had used just now might have been a major error on his part. Who may have served as a major red signal for the individuals that Batibat was referring to.

"No shit? It makes perfect sense why you looked so relaxed after having that drink. To tell you the truth, I make it a point to provide free alcoholic beverages and food to everybody who ventures into the human realm. I despise the blasted angels that control the entire establishment. It may be costly to obtain supplies from the human world, but doing so is well worth it. Whoever defies the angelic pact and travels to the world of humans, I have no problem with them."

For the time being, he was safe. Either Emilio was a master liar or he always kept his word. Neither option was acceptable.

Because Alex didn\'t get the impression that he was lying, he followed his gut sense. "Since I\'ve never been to this city before, I\'m just going to go around and take in the sights. Really, I am taken aback by that."

"Why is that the case?"

"To tell you the truth, I just witnessed a a quarrel a short while ago... Are questions like that even allowed?"

"In fact, I am a newcomer to this forum. The three circles of Lust, Wrath, and Pride are the only ones that will sanction a duel in the midst of a city as long as there is an impartial arbitrator present. Fights are permitted in some other circles, but only when they take place in arenas or with the permission of authority. However, this does not prevent illegal fighting from occurring there. I take it that wasn\'t the battle between Cairo and Avalandor that you were referring to, did it?"

"In point of fact, such was the case. Why?"

"Just out of curiosity, I heard that Cairo is a prominent member of the Shiirran, which is a mercenary organisation similar to a gang. According to what I\'ve heard, the leader of the notorious and powerful mercenary organisation known as Black Steps is a demon of the same name. Avalandor is a member of the Black Steps."

"Black demon, huh... Is that some kind of mercenary gang?"

"To put it in terms that are more applicable to the human world and that you would be familiar with... They operate much like a criminal organisation that demands \'protection\' from businesses such as mine. The fact that they genuinely protect the facilities is a positive aspect, since it means that there is typically no violence in the area around stores and restaurants."

"You\'re right, the human world is quite different from that."

"Now, I\'ve got some clients to feed, but if you come back here again, I\'ll make sure you get a free supper that\'s fit for a person. Alex, I wish you the best of luck in the city."

"Yeah, that\'s right, thank you for the beverage; you can be sure I\'ll be back for some human food." Alex\'s use of the term \'human world\' and \'humanity\' to refer to Earth and its inhabitants had become more natural to him over time. He took one last swallow of his beverage, handed Emilio the glass, and then exited the building without another word.

"Hmmm, great place." After taking one last glance at the structure, Alex turned around and was met with an unexpected discovery.

He did not recognise the demon lady, and he did not get the impression that she was being honest with him as she stared him down.

He was being confronted by a succubus. She had violet skin and appendages. She was donning a blue robe that accentuated her figure in every way possible; for example, it clung to her hips and brought her cleavage to the forefront.

She wore a diamond stud in her nose, long gold earrings with a red and blue gemstone on each one, and a silver tiara with multicoloured diamonds embedded into it.

It appeared as though she enjoyed wearing jewellery. Her dark blue hair, which was so dark that it was practically black, was short and only reached halfway down her neck.

Alex broke the awkward silence, at least for himself, by talking to her. He hoped that this would help. "Oh, how are you? Do I recognise you? Or is there anything else that I can do for you?"

"Would you like to discover out what will happen to you?"

Alex chuckled to himself at the odd question. "What exactly do you mean by that? Some sort of fortune telling?"

"... Yes. Would you kindly take a seat here with me?" The succubus indicated a nearby stone table with wooden seats that was located off to the side of the street in a deserted place.

Alex was confused about what he should do, but he decided to follow Batibat nonetheless because the latter had assured him that one of his guards would be keeping an eye out for any trouble he may get into.

After taking a seat next to one another, Alex immediately began to feel uneasy. "Uh, excuse me for interrupting, but may I ask who you are?"

"... Irrelevant. In the event that you are interested, you will learn more in a timely manner. Your need to know will go unsatisfied, at least for the time being." The peculiar succubus reached into one of her many pockets, brought out a bag, and poured its contents upon the table.

She dispersed them in an exact half-circle formation. "... Would you kindly take one now? It is a straightforward method for determining destiny, yet it is accurate."

Alex dithered, pondering which card would be best for him to take. He counted twenty-two cards and had a hazy memory that those cards were the primary arcana that are seen in tarot card decks.

He went with the option that was a little to the left of the centre. When he turned it over, he saw a person who resembled a priest.
