Demon Relief Squad.

"I heard that he's coming back." Stella nonchalantly said, informing them of the news she got from their captain.

"Is that so?" Paul looked down. His expression darkened a little.

"Why is your face like that, Paul? You don't want him back?" Stella asked.

"It's not that." Paul shook his head helplessly, recalling what had happened in the past year. "Just take a look at that kid, the last time he was with us was… what? Almost a year ago?"

"Yeah. It was almost a year. At first, we were resting due to the ambush of the Supreme Devil Organization. He was gone for a few months before going again." Ben nodded, remembering the details.

"That's why I'm annoyed. Once he returns, he's going to become a noble, right? And more importantly, he is becoming a noble under the banner of the Demon Hunting Army. If he wants to become a noble, why don't the Demon Relief Squad? I'll immediately give him my position as the vice captain." Paul sighed. "Are we that unreliable?"

All of them didn't understand much about the situation. However, there was one person who should understand Noel's plan in this room. So, all their gazes turned to that person.

Rose maintained her calm face while explaining, "The big reason is that Igor owes him. You should remember that bet, right? And since Captain Igor is going to choose a successor, he is using that opportunity to sneak in to become a Captain to get a higher rank."

"Still, why would he choose them? I can understand the higher rank, but does he have that little feeling for us? Even after everything we've done together?"

"It's not that. I believe he doesn't want to harm any of you. After all, having to relinquish one's position will cause a backlash to that squad. So, he doesn't want our squad to receive the backlash… He believes that this squad can reach a higher place even without the fame he brings." Rose explained carefully.

"Our squad, huh?" Stella looked at Rose. "You are going to leave the squad as well, right, Rose?"

Rose closed her eyes with a pained look. However, she couldn't deny it because she had promised Noel that she would follow him as his vassal.

"I guess I will be the only girl in the zero squad." Stella sighed. "And we will have to fill up the hole that Rose will leave behind… right after we've gotten used to not having Noel."

That was right. After the rest, they returned to their duty. It was a bit hard to get used to not having Noel, but in the end, they returned to their previous state before Anna and Noel came to this group.
