Author note:

I'm back after almost a year, LOL. Sorry life happened, and my game did not finished too. FUCK!

If there's a drop in quality, I'm sorry since I write after a long time not writing.

I won't said a long note, so I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Another note:

If you expected for the newest chapter, it is the side story one. Index no.11

After being teleported by Lucifer to the library in the mansion, Iyan immediately found his way to the Patchouli table and planted his head on it. If only he didn't get shocked and thought about the worst, he would have decided to stay in the arena instead of teleporting. But now that it had happened, he could only regret his previous decision.

"Arghhh, why did the memory about Patchouli winning come later than memory of her summoning a demon?! I thought I was going to be executed because of demon summoning."

Then an idea popped inside Iyan's head to return to the Coliseum, but he immediately rejected it. The reason was that he remembered the expression of the mage's guild master after he took control of his own body. He doubted that anyone would believe that he was Patchouli with how bad his mana control was.

Behind his back, Iyan could feel an intense killing intent. He turned around and looked at the source, Lucifer.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing," Lucifer answered.

"Nothing my ass, You sending killing intent toward me. I could feel it. Why are you doing it?"

Lucifer clicked his tongue, "Sadly, I can't tell a lie because of the contract. Once our contract for today ends. I will torture your soul and free my master from your possession."

"Huh?! It was not me who possessed her. It was her who possessed me."

After Iyan said that, Lucifer realized it made more sense for it to happen than the other way around.

"Could you tell me how my master possessed you?"

"I don't know, I transformed into her, and then she took control of my body, and it's not the first time this happened."

"So you can transform into someone else, and then that person controls your body?"

"That should not happen, but now that this happened twice, I bet it will happen again next time. *sigh* I should be careful of who I will transform next. Fuck this unique skill! It has a lot of downsides, and now it has one more. FUCK!"

"Hmm, so that is a unique skill. Then you must be a person from another world?"

Surprised by another person correctly guessing about his origin, Iyan wanted to ask Lucifer if anyone else had been summoned apart from him and his classmates. Unfortunately, before he could even ask, the medicine effect was expired, and Patchouli's asthma came full swing at him.

Iyan was furiously coughing and had a hard time to breath. He had never had asthma before, so he never knew it was painful. If only Patchouli didn't spend all the points Iyan got from Wriggle. He would stay as Patchouli and buy Eirin's shady drug. Regretfully, with how painful Patchouli's asthma is, he decided to turn back to himself.

Blinded by sudden light when Iyan transformed, Lucifer closed his eyes. Once Lucifer opened his eyes again, he saw his master replaced by a weaker man.

"Wow, your skill was much more unique than I thought. I never thought your status changed drastically, and your skill is different too."

"Yeah, that is the only good thing this damn skill had."

"Hey, can you transform again? I want to see it clearly this time."

Seeing the excited Lucifer, Iyan had an idea to use him to help to fulfill some of the character conditions.

"Sadly, there is a condition before I can transform again, and it is not an easy thing to do too."

"Hmm, like what?"

"Like I need to kill a grim reaper before I can transform again."

"Is that it?"

"Yes, that it's."

Lucifer walked closer toward Iyan, each of his steps causing Iyan to get more and more nervous. Then once Lucifer was close to Iyan, he grabbed Iyan's collar and raised him with only one hand.

"Don't ever think of using me again, okay."

"HIIIII!" Iyan pathetically screamed.

"Good." Lucifer then put Iyan down again on the chair, "Why do you even need to kill that monster to transform? Are you in need of money? I can help you forge a fake one if you need it."

"Huh? why did I get scared by that? That demon released a killing intent toward me earlier, and I am not scared by that, so why? Maybe it is because I have a better status as Patchouli, so I had more confidence. Yeah, that must be it, then I should get a lot of activated character as many as possible to raise my confidence."

"Hey, you still have not answered my question."

Scared by Lucifer, Iyan avoided his gaze, "Uh...Uhm… It's because the condition is for transforming into another person."

"Why didn't you say so? I will help you for free since the condition is easy, and I am curious about what kind of person you will transform into."

Suddenly Lucifer looked at the ceiling as he sensed something coming to the mansion.

"Look like a troublesome woman coming here."

"Eh, who is coming?"

"The guild master of the mage guild, Ellysia."

"Oh, she is obsessed with Patchouli, right? Maybe we can ask for her help too."

Despite Iyan saying that there was another reason he wanted her to help him, "I don't want to be alone with this scary demon."

"I suggest you not tell her about your skill. Even if you are transforming in front of her as my master, she will think you are using illusion magic. Of course, if my master comes back and controls you, then she will believe it. But you will have no value to her other than transforming into my master. However, I'll leave it up to you for whatever you're going to do."

Iyan thought that what Lucifer said made sense. From his memory, Iyan could recall that Ellysia was too obsessed with Patchouli. He could even imagine Ellysia forcing him to transform into Patchouli.

"You are right! I should not tell her about my skill."

"Yeah. Now, let's go meet her."

Leading the way to the guest room, Lucifer walked while grinning. He didn't expect that Iyan was dumber than he thought. His lies were so obvious that he couldn't believe Iyan easily believed him. But he was grateful because this way, he didn't have to argue for long to convince Iyan.

Now Lucifer only needed to ensure that the conversation never reached a point where Iyan could explain his skills. It would be an inconvenience if Ellysia wanted to keep him after hearing it.

After they arrived at the living room, Lucifer summoned several imps to prepare for Ellysia's arrival. Most of them were ordered to clean the room, while one of them was given the task of greeting Ellysia.

While the preparations were still going on, the living room door opened by an imp with Ellysia behind him. She looked around the room, trying to find Patchouli, but couldn't find her. Without waiting to be told or shown, she sat on the chair in front of Iyan and Lucifer.

"Where is Master Patchouli?" She asked Lucifer.

"She said something happened at Gensokyo and then teleporting after getting a few things from this place."

"So I missed her."

"Regretfully so."

"Damn!"

Ellysia stopped and thought for some time. Then she looked at Lucifer. "You should know where she is right now, right? After all, you are summoned by her."

"The link between her and me was severed because of the distance. Even if I knew her location, I wouldn't tell you unless master Patchouli told me to."

"Fair point, I don't want her to hate me anymore than now," Then she realized something and got tensed, "Wait, did you said that her link and you was severed. Does that mean –"

"I know what you're worried about, but it's unnecessary because I won't tarnish my master's name."

Hearing Lucifer's statement, Ellysia relaxed, "Well, that is great. I don't think I could stop you if you decide to destroy this kingdom. Still, I'm curious what are you going to do now?"

"My master ordered to prepare some funds. So I will be hunting for monster material at the nearby dungeon."

"Oh, if it's a dungeon, then you need a pass to enter it," Ellysia took out a card from her storage magic. "Take this and tell the guards you are my representative. They will let you in without any hassle."

Lucifer took the card from Ellysia's hand, "Thank you. I will relay your kindness to my master when she comes back."

"Oh, Really! Then if you are going to tell her, I will add more help. If you need to sell the material, comes to the mage guild, I'll buy it twice the market price. Is there anything else I can help with?"

"No, I appreciate your help, and I'm sure Miss Patchouli will be glad after hearing this."

"Since I'm busy, I'll go back to the guild. If you need more help, come to the guild. I'll gladly help you."

Then she stood up from her seat and left the living room.

Iyan was dumbfounded at the situation unfolding in front of him. He never thought that he was being completely ignored during their conversation. He was confused about whether he should be happy or angry with this.

On the one hand, it was better to be ignored since he didn't have to create an excuse to convince Ellysia. On the other hand, he wanted to be recognized and praised by her. Such a thing was lingering inside his mind when he decided not to interrupt their conversation.

"Hey, it looked like we got a shortcut for traveling at the dungeon. So let's leave now."

"You mean a shortcut for convincing the guard with that card, right?"

"What? No! I could do that easily. What I meant is this card," Lucifer pointed to the card that Ellysia gave them. "This card can be used at the teleportation pad inside the dungeon."

"Eh, that card can do that?"

"Yes, and you should have known it if you read the adventurer's guild handbook."

"Ahaha, I don't have a chance to read that book."

"Yes, I expected that from you,"

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean!"

Ignoring Iyan's complaint, Lucifer created a magic circle below his feet. "Now, let's go to the dungeon."

"You are going to ignore that, huh." Iyan mumbled. "Fine, I'll go."

Iyan stepped onto the magic circle, and then they teleported near the entrance of the undead dungeon.

Near the dungeon entrance, many stalls lined up selling various items such as potions, weapons, scrolls, etc. Many adventurers were seen buying or haggling at the shopkeeper's stall. Not only as buyers, but some adventurers also participated in selling goods. It was a lively place, even if it was located near a dungeon.

The lively atmosphere at the dungeon entrance disappeared as soon as Iyan and Lucifer arrived at the dungeon entrance. The adventurer knows by their instinct that a dangerous monster has come. They wanted to run, but all of them were frozen in place.

"I remembered that Ellysia said teleportation magic used a lot of MP. Are you okay wasting a lot of them at this point?"

"That is the case with the conventional teleportation magic. But with master's Patchouli magic, I only use a little of my MP. Sadly-" Lucifer then pointed at his hand in front of him. "I still cannot replicate it perfectly."

Iyan looked at where Lucifer's hand pointed, "Eh, why is everyone looking at us?"

"It's the side effect of me not imitating it properly. I can't completely control my aura for some time."

"But I don't sense anything different from you."

"Well...It's because of your lack of experience in battle, and you are especially so stupid."

"WHA –"

"Let's go inside the dungeon, okay?"

This time Iyan could feel what those adventurers felt and nodded his head.

Lucifer and Iyan's walk toward the dungeon's entrance were not hindered by any adventurer or peddler. No one dared to disturb them, and anyone that got in their way hurriedly moved away. Because of that, they reached the dungeon entrance quickly.

At the entrance, there is a building like a ticket booth. In the building, there are three guards -One inside and two outside- and one receptionist. All the guards shook, causing their armor to clatter, and the receptionist was frozen in place. Lucifer cleared his throat to make the receptionist responsive again.

"Ah... Uhm… Is there anything that you need?"

"You guys can relax. I'm not coming here to kill you. Here," Lucifer handed out the card that was given to him by Ellysia.

The receptionist was shocked seeing the card and terrified.

"It's not like what you are thinking. We are here as a representative for her. Could you let us through?"

"Oh, then wait for a moment. I'll prepare your tag."

After a short time, the receptionist took out two wooden tags and handed them to Lucifer and Iyan.

"Wow, a forced teleportation imbued in this tag."

"I'm sorry, but this is the policy from the king. So please understand and don't kill me." the receptionist exclaimed in fright and then bowed to Lucifer.

"I told you to relax. We are not going to the core and destroying it, right?" Lucifer said and turned to Iyan.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"We don't need to do that, right?"

Then Iyan realized that Lucifer was asking for his unlock condition, "Oh, OH! Yes. We only need to hunt the grim reaper at the ten floors."

Lucifer turned at the receptionist again, "Well, it looked like they did not completely believe us. Let's not bother them anymore and go."

With that said, Iyan and Lucifer entered the dungeons.

At first, Iyan thought that the dungeon would be like a cave. However, after exiting the entrance, he was greeted by a vast plain with many peoples. Iyan was speechless when he saw how crowded the first floor of the dungeon was.

"This is normal at any dungeon near a settlement, and look, that is the pedestal for dungeon warp."

Lucifer pointed to a stone pedestal not far from where they currently were. As they walked towards it, the same thing as at the entrance happened again. Many adventurers were wary of them. Some looked like they would attack Lucifer if only their party member didn't stop them. Fortunately, like what happened at the entrance too, no one hindered Iyan and Lucifer's walk.

"Now place your hand on the pedestal."

Following Lucifer's order, Iyan placed his right hand on the pedestal. Then Lucifer put the hand holding the card on top of Iyan's hand. After that, a blue panel appears floating above the pedestal. There is a list of numbers inside of it. Iyan assumed that must be the dungeon floor destination.

Then Lucifer pressed the list that said "floor 10, boss area.". After that, they teleported to a floor that met Iyan's expectations better than the first floor. This floor was like a castle passage lit by the torches on the walls. There was a large double metal door present not far from the place they got teleported.

Lucifer walked towards the door and placed his right hand on the door. Then one by one, the runes appeared over the arch of the door. After the runes filled the door arch, it opened by itself. Then Lucifer and Iyan walked into the boss's room.

After a few seconds, a fully armored troll appeared in the center of the room, and after a few seconds, it became a particle of light. It happened because Lucifer used dark magic to stab the troll's heart. Iyan's mouth was agape, and he could not believe how easily Lucifer removed the orc that looked very strong.

"Well, it's looked like our luck is not that good. Now we must wait after 15 minutes before another boss spawned in this room."

"I never asked your level, nor do I have appraisal skills. Can you tell me what your level is currently?"

"Hmm, for that, I'll only tell you one little hint. The orc earlier was around level 50, and to kill it with one hit usually, you need twice the level of the monster."

"Wait, does that mean he is at minimum level 100? So level 99 was not the limit." Iyan thought.

"What are you standing there for? Let's get out of this room. We don't want to prolong the wait after all."

Then Lucifer and Iyan got out of the boss's room. Iyan waited while sitting and leaning against the dungeon wall. Lucifer stood and took out a watch.

"I'm curious other than my master, is there anyone else you can transform into?"

"Well, there are a few, but all of them are unreliable."

"How so?"

"One immediately showed up with her dark ball that made me can't see anything. Another one like to travel around randomly. Then there are a lot of fairies, and all of them are weak."

"Heh... Speaking about weak. How are you killing the grim reaper that I will restrain later?"

"You," Iyan looked at Lucifer angrily, but Lucifer did not even react to him. " *sigh* Well, I probably will rely on the one who travels randomly, hoping that she did not decide to go somewhere. After all, if the dark ball one decided this place is too bright, I can't transform back to myself."

"Then how about you transform into me?"

"No, I can only transform into a certain game character."

"Can you tell me about that game?"

Only a moment later, Lucifer regretted asking the questions. He did not expect Iyan's passion for that game. He wanted to stop Iyan, but unfortunately, that was the only way he could get information about what kind of person Iyan could transform. Sometimes he wanted to stop him when he talked about something other than the character, but he restrained in fear Iyan would not want to talk after that.

After 15 minutes, the door to the boss room closed automatically, indicating that the boss had respawned. Lucifer was happy that he had a good reason to stop Iyan from talking. So he did that and told Iyan to go to the boss's room.

Unfortunately for Lucifer, the bosses that appear are trolls too. He was cursing the dungeon inside his mind because he would need to listen to Iyan's rambling again. After all, the person in question had started suggesting talking more about the game.

This occurrence happened three times, and Lucifer was almost at the limit of his patience. The reason is that Iyan started talking about game makers, music, and fandoms - something that he didn't care about at all.

Fortunately for Lucifer, another group of adventurers came, and this group knew about Iyan. Although, from the looks of it, Lucifer thought it would just be another annoyance for him, since all of them pointed their weapon at him.

"Hey, Iyan, are you okay there?"

When his name was called, Iyan stopped talking to Lucifer and turned towards the person who said it.

"Oh, Walles party."

Iyan stood up and waved at them. Seeing Iyan's reaction, the group was relieved and approached him.

"What are you doing here?" Walles asked.

"We are hunting for the boss. How about you?"

"Well, we wanted to gather some material in this dungeon," Walles looked at Lucifer and then at Iyan again. "Can you tell me who that fallen angel is?"

"Sorry, but I'm not a fallen angel. I'm an evolved demon."

As soon as Lucifer said that, he felt killing intent by one of the members of the party.

"Young men over there," Lucifer pointed to Eric. "Why did you suddenly go mad at me? Are you a racist person that hates all demons equally?"

Eric closed his eyes and sighed to calm himself, "I'm sorry. It's just I had a bad history with a certain demon."

"Hmm, interesting. Can you tell me about it?"

Even though Lucifer said it like he cared, he was lying. He didn't care about Eric's story, not even a little bit. The reason for him to say it was so Iyan would not be blabbering about the game anymore.

"Well, I guess I can tell you. Who knows, maybe you can help me find her."

Walles, Jamilla, and Regnis sat down, knowing that this story would take some time. Iyan followed them and sat down too. Lucifer still stood, but this time he leaned on the wall.

Then Eric started talking about his past, how he was once a happy little boy with his family. Everything was perfect for him until one fateful day, a large group of monsters led by a succubus came. She then killed everyone he knew with those monsters.

Before Eric could complete his story, Lucifer interrupted him, "Is that succubus perhaps named Lilim? It is her modus operandi to raise her level after all."

"How do you know about her name?"

"Ah, it is because she is my acquaintance."

Eric immediately rushed toward Lucifer and tried to slash Lucifer. Eric's attempt at slashing Lucifer was stopped by one of Lucifer's fingers pushing Eric's sword.

"Wow, you are quite aggressive. I never said I was joining her to destroy any village, yet you try to kill me."

"Shut up! That is a lie, isn't it?! You said you are an evolved demon. Then you must be one of her monsters that destroyed my villages."

After hearing Iyan ramble and being accused that he was Lilim's subordinate, Lucifer snapped. He grabbed Eric's collar to the point his armor bent and raised him with his right hand. Then he slammed Eric hard at the dungeon wall.

"Listen here, that succubus you want to take revenge on is only a small fry against me. So don't you dare to imply that I'm her subordinate," He then threw Eric in Walles's direction. "Take that and leave before my patience run out."

Even though their bodies were shaking, Walles, Regnis, and Jamilla stood up and facing Lucifer.

"Only if you left that young man, then we will leave you alone. My knight chivalry will not let anyone left behind." Regnis said.

"Yeah, she is right. If you want us to leave, then give Iyan to us, first." Walles said.

Though Jamilla didn't say anything, she started chanting for buff magic. As for Eric, he stood up and brandished his weapon despite his ragged breath.

Lucifer sighed, "I don't want to deal with all of you anymore. Just leave."

After saying that, the three of them were engulfed by a magic circle and disappeared. Fearing the worst has happened to them, Iyan despaired.

"Calm down," Lucifer said.

Iyan was about to protest, but he got silenced by magic.

"I knew you were going to interrupt me. Anyway, they are safe. I only teleported them to the first floor of the dungeon and not killing them."

"Really?"

"Yes, and looked the door closed again. Let's kill another troll again."

Believing Lucifer's word Iyan followed behind him.

Once they entered the room, Lucifer's mood became better. The opponent that spawned this time was not a troll anymore, but a skull-wearing tattered robe while holding a great scythe – A grim reaper.

"At last! It's here!" Lucifer thought.

Lucifer immediately restrained the grim reaper with a long dark chain and pinned it down. The grim reaper tried to struggle, but the chain did not budge.

"Please, kill him now."

"Ah, okay. Transform Koishi, yes."

"Ohh, this sensation is familiar. Am I at the underground again?"

Koishi looked around the room and found Lucifer sweating.

"Are you the real owner of that body?" Lucifer asked

"Haha, you silly, who else but me inside my own body."

"You're right,"

"Hey, you can see me, right?"

"Well, yes. But I need to exert a lot of effort to do that."

"To think someone is willing to do that, I'm happy. Will you still remember me after I left you?"

"I can't promise you, but I'll try."

"Let's introduce ourselves to see if you will remember me later. My name is Koishi Komeiji."

"Then it's my turn. My name is Lucifer."

"OOHH, since we have introduced ourselves, we are friends now! I need to tell my older sister I make a new friend."

After that, Koishi's body is now under Iyan's control. He looked around and was relieved to see that he was still in the boss's room.

"So this time, it was you?"

"Huh, what? Did something happen?"

"Yes, I can't exactly remember the reason, but I think I put a lot of effort into not losing sight of you earlier. This time I think I don't have to do that."

"As I thought, Koishi must have controlled my body too."

"Who is that?"

"The owner of this body."

"Oh,"

"Anyway, should I beat that grim reaper multiple times to kill it?" Iyan pointed to the chained grim reaper.

"No, you don't have to," Then the black chain shone. "I weaken him enough so that you can kill it with one hit."

"Fuck you. If you can do that, I don't have to transform," Iyan mumbled. "Thanks for weakening it for me."

Iyan walked closer to the grim reaper. Once he was in front of the grim reaper, he punched it as hard as he could. Then the grim reaper turned into a particle of light once his fist connected.

Iyan transformed back to himself to avoid getting controlled by Koishi again.

"So we are done here?" Lucifer asked.

"Yes, but let's gather some material to sell first. I need to buy something to unlock another person's condition."

"How much did you need?"

"Well, I need 300 gold coins, and currently, I have around 150 gold in my -"

Then Iyan realized something bad. He remembered that Patchouli threw his magic bag to her dimension magic.

"Damn it! Damn it! Patchouli activates. Open status."

[Seiga Kaku, Marisa Kirisame, Koakuma unlocked]

Despite the good news from the panels, Iyan does not care and immediately check his status.

"Fuck! Fuck! FUUUUCK!"

"Are you okay?" Lucifer asked Iyan

"Urgh... I had around 150 gold in my magic bag, and Patchouli threw it to her dimension storage magic. I 'active' her hoping to get some space magic skills. But I didn't get it. So now, I couldn't take the magic bag out from her magic storage."

"That is the first time in my long life, I hear about a situation like that."

"Can you help me take it out?"

"Sorry, only that person's magic could take out from his magic storage."

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Iyan got irritated and stomped his feet on the ground multiple times.

"Is the condition to spend money?" Lucifer asked Iyan.

"No, I only need to have a specific doll. I saw one at the shop in this kingdom, but without money, I can't buy it."

"Can you just steal it using the previous girl?"

"I don't want to do that! What if I get caught later, it will ruin my reputation."

"How. could someone even... You know what, fine. Let me see that doll. I will replicate it with my magic, so you don't have to steal it."

"Oh really, thanks. You are the best! But can we still gather material for paying my expenses?"

Lucifer sighed and started to take the magic stone dropped by the three orcs and one grim reaper.

They reached the store that Iyan referred to at the dungeon earlier. Iyan then showed the shanghai and hourai dolls from that store. Lucifer materialized an exactly same doll and handing it over to Iyan.

[Alice Margatroid unlocked]

"Nice, the condition is fulfilled. Now let's sell the material and transform at the mansion."

"Okay, okay."

After that, they go to the mage guild. Lucifer told Iyan not to go inside. He persuaded Iyan by using the fact that he got ignored earlier. Iyan agreed with Lucifer and decided to try to get his magic bag from Patchouli's magic storage. Unfortunately, even after Lucifer came out from the mage guild, Iyan still failed to get his magic bag.

However, Iyan wasn't sad about losing the magic bag because he got a new one from Lucifer. Not only is this a new magic bag, but it also has 450 gold coins inside it. This time Iyan promised himself that he wouldn't take the magic bag away when he was going to transform. This way, he could avoid Touhou's character throwing it away.

They went to the mansion again, and once they reached it, Iyan pondered who he would become. With the last two accidents where his body got controlled. He believed that it would happen again. Seiga was out of the question. Since well... She was called a wicked hermit for a good reason. Koakuma and Mystia wouldn't be considered too, since they were Youkai. Iyan feared that they would do what Youkai do - eat human. That left Alice and Marisa.

Alice is also a youkai, but remembering her profile, she is a loner. Iyan thought she would not cause a lot of scenes. As for Marisa, her kleptomaniac was something that made Iyan wary. But since she is a human, she would not do something outrageous like killing another human.

"Well, I will be waiting here until you decided." Lucifer said after reading his mind.

"Arggh… I wonder who should I transform next."
