Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

At the end of the fork in the road, there was nothing but an ancient treasure chest.

And Fulilian did not surprise Ash at all. She just squatted on the ground, stroking her chin, with a thoughtful expression.

This long silence finally made Philen, who always doted on her, unable to hold back and reminded her softly:

"Lord Fulilian, when do you want to see it? It has been identified, right? It is a treasure chest monster."

"Although the identification result is indeed a treasure chest monster, but, Philen... the accuracy of that magic is 99%, which means there is still a 1% chance of missing it."

Ash smiled and put his hand on Philen's shoulder. Before Fulilian opened her mouth, he said Fulilian's famous saying that he remembered vividly: "It is because of the great magicians who see through that 1% that there will be historical discoveries, and this is the ultimate motivation for us as magicians to pursue miracles and create history."

"It sounds like that... but no matter how you say it, it's a bit far-fetched, right?" Philen's expression was subtle, and his eyes were obviously not convinced.

But Fulilian, who received praise from her companions for the first time, was so happy that her eyes lit up. She stood up suddenly and grabbed his hand:

"——Ash, don't you understand? You are worthy of being my best friend~! Well... from now on, we are lifelong friends again~!"

"Although I don't know what it was before, I don't care... Anyway, you will definitely change your words soon."

"Huh? Are you thinking about this again...?" Fulilian opened her eyes wide in confusion and blinked a few times.

"It's okay, drive quickly, don't waste time here, I'm waiting too."

He calmly pulled his hand out of Fulilian's hand, and as if to inject courage, he put his hands on her shoulders and said with trust:

"Your experience as a magician must have told you that there is a magic book inside, right? So believe in yourself! Fulilian! I also believe in you who believe in yourself!"

"Ash..."

When no one believed in him, he still gave him such trust, which made Fulilian's face full of joy, and even wanted to cry.

At this moment, the tacit understanding and friendship between the two quietly sublimated in the dim light of the maze.

Fulilian also wiped the corners of her eyes, unconsciously covering her face and whispering with emotion: "... After so many years, ten centuries... After so many years, someone finally believes in my judgment... Today... Finally! Finally someone understands that I am right~"

"... Lord Fulilian, although I don't want to hit you at this time, since no one has believed in you for so many years, have you ever thought that maybe you are wrong?"

Although the two of them looked completely affectionate at the moment, Philen complained with a look of disgust.

But even though Fellen complained like this, Flillian, who finally got someone who understood her, was not hit at all. Instead, she straightened her chest and refuted confidently:

"——How could it be my fault? After all, if I don't even believe in myself! How can I welcome this happy moment now?"

"...If this is also considered happiness? Why don't you change a path quickly? That will definitely gain more recognition and more happiness, right?"

"Because I believe in my own choice!"

"Don't you believe in the appraisal?"

"——Absolutely not!"

She used to look confident, and now that she has a companion, she naturally looks like she has mastered the truth. Her eyes are so firm that Fellen can't help but wonder if he is really wrong? Flillian is right?

But she still doesn't quite understand...Since she doesn't believe in the appraisal results, why does Flillian still do the appraisal every time? Anyway, the results have to be announced, right?

....While the two were at a stalemate, Zanze on the side quietly cast his eyes towards Ash, and asked curiously in a low voice:

"Master Ash, has this person really succeeded? Or is there something wrong with modern identification magic?"

"Well..." He hesitated, quietly pulled Zanze aside, and explained: "...Actually, identification magic is basically not wrong, the probability is even less than one percent, but there will always be one in hundreds of times."

"......." The strange answer made Zanze silent for a long time, and he couldn't help asking: "Do you want to believe in the less than one percent hope? But I don't think you will..."

"You are right about me. . "

"Huh? ....The probability is so low, why do you still encourage her?"

"Because otherwise, she will be troubled for a long time in front of the treasure chest monster."

"Ah... But, but maybe Furryllen will give up later?" Ash's answer finally made her understand. It turned out that Ash was just too troublesome, so after staying for a while, he subconsciously helped Furryllen speak, but...

Looking at her frowning face, Ash smiled helplessly and shook his head gently: "Normal people should be like this, but... I have never seen her give up."

"Huh? Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Then what is the meaning of silence...?"

"I don't know either, so I hope she can hurry up and not waste time here. After all, there are many treasure chest monsters in this dungeon. If it keeps dragging on like this, who knows how long it will take. It's better to be swallowed up early to save trouble."

He spread his hands helplessly, and the answer he gave once again made Zanze messy in the dark corner.

After a long time, she couldn't speak for Fulilian anymore, so she looked at the girl squatting in front of the treasure chest again, and murmured:

"Really... a weird person."

..............................

..............................

Others were actually speechless about her, but Fulilian herself didn't notice other people's feelings at all.

After receiving encouragement from Ash, she even ignored Fern's advice as if she had been given a shot of chicken blood, and returned to the treasure chest. She looked back at Ash beside her with a confident smile, and whispered confidently and calmly:

"Ash... Believe me, I will never let you down if you believe in me."

"Well... I believe in you, so open it quickly."

"Okay! Then now is the time to witness a miracle...!?"

Under his urging, Flyllian smiled and suddenly opened the treasure chest in one go, and then - at the moment of opening it, she was swallowed by the treasure chest monster with its mouth wide open.

The handsome speech came to an abrupt end at this moment.

In the entire dark dead end, there was only the sound of the treasure chest monster chewing its upper body.

The other two people except Ash were dumbfounded on the spot. Fulilian, whose upper body was swallowed, twisted her butt violently after a moment of silence:

"——It's so dark! So scary~! Ah~! Woo ah ah~~! So dark! So scary~! Ash~! Philen~! Let me out! So dark! So scary~~~! Woo ah ah!! Ash~! Philen~!"

Flilian shouted for help, twisting her butt violently and kicking her legs.

When Philen immediately stepped forward to drag after being stunned, Ash looked at the stunned Zanze on the side, and slapped the twisting butt with a blank face:

"Look, Zanze, the result is still this, right?"

"Ah..." Zanze couldn't say anything at all.

At this time, Fulilian's butt twisted more violently, and she kept kicking in the direction of Ash:

"——Who? Who? Hit me? Ash?! It must be you!?"

"How could it be, it was actually Philen who couldn't help it."

"... No, definitely not! Only you would hit me when I was bitten!!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Volame would occasionally fight with me."

"——But the teacher died a long time ago! Now only you are taking advantage of the situation like this!" Fulilian said so confidently, and even felt a little bit angry.

But no one at the scene could sympathize with her. Even Fearon couldn't help but speak up for Ash: "Since you know you will be beaten, why do you still go in? Can you learn a lesson next time?"

"But only by seeing through the 1% of great magicians can you make a historic discovery! If even I give up, who else can persist? After all, I didn't get bitten because I like it~~!"

"...But in fact, you didn't see through it either, and you just fell for it, right?"

"A small failure! Anyone can have it, but you can't give up everything because of a small failure!"

Frillian's whole body was soft, and her butt was also soft when she was hit, but she was so hard-mouthed.

This made Ash casually pat his hand again, and then shook his head and said: "From the actual situation, you have been tricked more than once, or I have seen hundreds of times."

"Anyway! It will definitely succeed~! And... you spanked me again, right? And did you lie to me again just now? This liar! Traitor~! - I will never forgive you this time!!"

It was really difficult to refute, but she was still unwilling to change, making Fulilian struggle and make a sound of gnashing teeth: "Last time you promised me that the church would stand on my side next time! You treacherous bastard!! Now you betray me again and again~!"

".... Although I promised this, you have to consider the actual situation. How can I stand by you when you said something just now? It's okay for you to be a girl, but if I said something casually, I would definitely be much worse than you!"

If he foolishly said what Philen and Zanze really cared about before, Ash doubted whether the two would fight with him on the spot.

Therefore, he absolutely could not stand on Fulilian's side in this matter, even though he did plan to fulfill his promise to stand by her side once.

Although he felt that she deserved it, Philen still felt sympathy for Fulilian when he saw that she was pitiful enough and was being spanked.

Philen held her legs and tried to pull out, while looking at Yaxiu and persuading: "Master Yaxiu, please let her go for a while, and then help me get her out quickly?"

"Philen, it's because you always pamper her like this that she will act recklessly and not learn from her mistakes."

"When I come back, I will talk to her! So help me quickly."

"...No, I'd better leave first."

"Master Yaxiu?!"

"....Actually, don't pull it out, just push it in, and the treasure chest monster will feel uncomfortable and want to vomit."

In order to avoid being troubled by Fulilian later, Ash left here without looking back after teaching the method of pulling people out.

The strange trick made Philen stand there for a long time, wondering how many times he had pulled Fulilian, and half-believing and half-doubtingly took the measures he said.

Just push it in, and pound Fulilian's head twice like pounding garlic...

Just hear a "Puff!" sound, similar to the sound of a cork coming out of a bottle, and the treasure chest monster really vomited Fulilian.

".......Wu, Philen, where is Ash! This time I will never let him go--!"

After being vomited out, Fulilian fell to the ground, covering her buttocks and looking around for the guy who took advantage of the situation.

Zanze, who simply stood there in a daze and failed to leave with Ash, raised his hand and pointed to the intersection when she saw him.

But now, let alone the figure, even the footsteps can no longer be heard.

"Damn... he really ran away first... I knew that guy was so cunning from the beginning to the end~!"

Fulilian, who was rubbing her butt, hated him so much that her teeth itched, but unfortunately she couldn't do anything about him for the time being.

Philen shook her head with a sigh and took out a handkerchief, wiping her hair while asking, as if she was talking to a naughty child:

"Speaking of which, Lady Fulilian, you just said that after ten centuries, someone finally believed you. Could it be that there were others a thousand years ago?"

".... It was still Ash, and Master." Fulilian sat on the ground with her arms folded on her chest, turned her face away angrily, and reported the two most familiar people.

But this answer made Philen even more confused.

"....??" Since she had been deceived by the same method, why was she deceived again? Philen really didn't understand.

"What are you thinking about with that look?"

"...Does Master of Lady Flillian really believe in Lady Flillian?"

"No...Master is just as bad as Ash." In fact, it was not the first time she was deceived like this, and she even knew the reason very well...because Master and Ash had used this argument in turn thousands of years ago.

Because every time they were caught by her, the reason they begged for mercy was surprisingly the same, simply because they thought it was too troublesome for her to remain silent in front of the treasure chest monster...it would be better to be swallowed quickly.

After telling what she knew, Fulilian also muttered in a low voice with a displeased face: "Master can no longer take revenge, but this guy Ash must not be let go... This time, all the new and old grudges must be settled together... Well, Master's share should be counted on him!"

Although she was always tricked, Fulilian seemed to be very angry with the two of them every time, which made Zanze tilt her head greatly, blinking her confused eyes two or three times, still unable to figure it out-since she knew the reason why others deceived her so clearly, why would she fall for the same trick again?

It should be because it has been too long, a thousand years have passed, so she accidentally forgot it, right?

Besides this, she really can't think of any other reason.

..............................

..............................

After spanking Fulilian for the first time in a long time, Ash, who was refreshed, looked for the situation of Connie, Rabinie and others in this underground city.

Although he felt that it was not good to play with Fulilian's trust after a thousand years and let her be happy for nothing, it might be good if he could learn a lesson from it and not be swallowed by the treasure chest monster in the future.

".... But if it could change, it would have changed 1,000 years ago, right?"

As for why she didn't take any precautions at all, maybe she sincerely believed every time that it was a real treasure chest, right?

In this case, why should she take precautions against the treasure chest? But as for learning lessons... How can a gambler learn lessons?

How many gamblers can really learn lessons? Even if they have lost everything, many gamblers will still go to gamble without hesitation.

Ordinary gamblers are like this, not to mention a thousand-year-old gambler like Fulilian.

It can be said that he was fooled every time, and it was the same every time; because of this, he was a little annoyed and directly put aside the guilt and gave up the idea of ​​letting Fulilian grow up.

However....while on his way to look for other candidates, Ash hadn't found anyone yet, but he saw Zanze in another open area.
