Ushishishi. Ever wondered why I always fought with Fran but never killed him? Well, it's a kind of a long story. It all started with the frog's chain of questions.

"What am I to you, Senpai? Do you consider me as a friend or a nuisance?"

Man, his questions were weird. But I managed to answer them, properly but not quickly. It took me a long time before I found the answer. And believe me, it wasn't easy to find it.

We were on a mission on a Monday afternoon, I think. And I met this guy, a peasant. I kind of saved him from the attacks of our targets. Don't ask. Fran failed to do his part so I ended up saving that guy. And so, he started asking some weird questions too (much like Fran). He asked me:

"Have any questions in that royal head of yours that are left unanswered, questions that are still bothering you, maybe?"

The moment he asked me that question, the ones from that stupid frog immediately popped in my mind. "What am I to you, Senpai?"

The peasant then took out a strange necklace that's made out of pure gold that's design with some precious gems. It was a necklace fit for a prince.

"Wear this. And you shall find the answers that you seek. But be warned, it won't be easy, my prince." He said as if he was discouraging me. "Shi~ No one tells me what to do, peasant!"

So, I took the necklace and walked to the castle. As I was walking, some bandits cornered me.

"Give us that necklace and maybe we'll spare your pitiful life." One of them said. The nerve! Threatening me, the prince, and telling me what to do? That's unforgivable!

"What? You just gonna stand there? Give it to us!"

I got pissed off. So, without caring about them, I killed them. I showed them no mercy. That's how a prince and member of Varia act!

It was a three hour walk. Man, did I get back late. Boss was furious. But I didn't pay attention to him. I marched straight to our room (Yeah. The frog and I share the same room).

"Senpai. Hey. Have you thought about my question? Huh?" Fran asked. Can't he see I'm already tired? I turned and threw a knife at him. He knows what it means.

Late that night, I woke up because of my dream. I my dream, I was sent to a parallel world where I met a girl and fell in love. It was highly impossible. I mean, me, a heartless killer, fall in love, or even have any friends?

I was about to go back to sleep when I heard someone calling me. A kid! "Belphegor"

It came from somewhere near the necklace. I thought it was a burglar but it wasn't. In fact, there was no one there. Then I heard it again. "Belphegor" the voice called out. It was coming from the necklace! That's weird. I didn't know I could do that.

I walked towards it, grabbed it and stared into the gem that's in the middle. I saw something, a figure. Then I remembered Fran's questions and what the peasant told me. What could this possibly do for me?

"Wear this. And you shall find the answers that you seek." The voice of the peasant ringed in my head. I got curious. I wore the necklace around my neck. I heard the voice again. "Belphegor". So I looked at the figure again. Something was strange. The figure now grew bigger and bigger by the second until nothing can be seen in the gem but a hand. Then I recognized the figure. It was the peasant!

The moment I recognized him, the hand from the gem grabbed me. And what happened next was a mystery until I woke up.
