To: Kusumi Chiharu.

Congratulations. You have been selected to be part of the seventh generation of monster tamers.

Please choose one of the monsters from list below; you should remember that it will not only be your first partner, but will also help with your daily training, so please take good care of it.

Though in truth, in my opinion, I feel you have the talent and grounding to become a 'demon king' in the future.

Having said that, Chiharu-sama, I wish you good luck from the bottom of my heart.

From: Luka (International Monster Association).

"Ding Ding"

Early in the morning, on a certain day.

My phone received an advertising mail.

Checking the contents, it ended up being a total load of bull.

Initially believing it to be a new type of scam, I was about to immediately press the "delete" button, but, for some reason, the message's format puzzled me.

"This...it doesn't seem like a scam mail..."

Among those teasing sentences in a round font, neither a 'Payment link' nor a 'Homepage address' were written anywhere.

If that's the case, then who is behind this? What is his objective?

That being said, there aren't any monsters like that...

Although I didn't believe in the genuineness of the mail, I wondered why didn't they prepare a better content.

In the end, I half-consciously deleted the mail, promptly adding it to the spam list.

...With this, I won't be bothered for a while.

Once again ducking myself into the bed, I soon felt my consciousness drifting away.

Perhaps that next time I wake up, I will have already forgotten about everything that happened this morning.

But I would never have thought...

...that such a trifling impulsive action would later end up causing an open mayhem between three monsters...
