(Izumi POV)
[I’ll list the conditions that have been met.]
The message flowed through my head.

An immense stream of messages was flowing in. I had gained a lot of experience before I even realized it.
However, I could not read the contents of the two places. Though I was positive that those were related to the God of Calamity.
And then, when the message had been fully flowed through,
[From now on, based on the conditions that have been met, Kokoro Izumi will be transformed into a Demon King.]
Demon King transformation… So I will join the ranks of Kurokiri nii-chan and Ichiko nee-chan.
But I don’t have to fear, you know. The God of Calamity once said that she cannot tamper with my mind. Then it is certain that my memories cannot be altered either.
Furthermore, becoming a Demon King and losing one’s memory may not be directly linked to each other.
The carcasses of the wolves lying around us, as well as Moyasuke and my body, were encased in light.
[The link to the current master, the “King of the Devouring Black Mist,” is severed.]
I can feel my link to Kurokiri had been severed.
Presumably, I was now no longer Kurokiri’s kin.
[The level and skills will be adjusted to match the level of the Mist King.]
An odd sensation swept over my body. Was it possible that my level has been lowered?
Indeed, if I become a Demon King at level 10, there may arise various problems.
[Skill integration has been finalized. ?Mist Cloak? has been deleted. ?Unbloody?, ?Self-Regeneration (Weak)?, ?Energy Recovery (Weak)?, ?Self-Regeneration (Medium)? and ?Human and Cavalry As One? have been unified into a single skill, and the unique skill is ?Pack of Wolf Carrying Life and Death?]
?Pack of Wolf Carrying Life and Death?… is my new skill?
I will need to review the effects later.
[The race has been changed from Kirijin to ‘Life and Death Carrier of the Pack of Wolves’.]
I felt like my body was literally being reconfigured.
“Woof!?” “Eh!?”
Not only was I disintegrating, but so were Moyasuke and the surrounding Thin Mist Wolves’ carcasses, which then clung to my body like particles of light.
“Eh, wait!?”
[The status increase and the granting of the Demon King exclusive skills, ?Monster Create? and ?Dungeon Create? accompanying the transformation into a Demon King will be performed continuously.]
“What…!?”
At the same time as my overall body was imbued with power, the light that enveloped me was absorbed into my body, while the light surrounding my whole body gradually diminished in intensity.
[The transformation of the Demon King has been finalized. Thank you for your efforts.]
And with this message, all light ceased to glow.
“This is…”
I confirmed the changes in my body and status.
The clothing I was wearing earlier was gone, and in place of it was a wolf’s fur… rather than saying it was a wolf’s fur, I was wearing something that was made from various parts of my body… covering my chest and waist, and on my head was a hood that looked like a wolf’s head. Instead of being clothing, it was more like a piece of cloth that was wrapped around my body.
Metal chains were also affixed to my neck, right arm, left ankle, and waist as ornaments, which appeared to support the wolf’s fur. There were also adornments on my neck and waist chains that resembled a wolf’s head.
Also… I somehow feel that my ears are in a strange position and there is a strange sensation in my buttocks… I have a nasty feeling about this, but I’ll check this out later. If I have a look at it now, I will lose my cool and not be able to proceed with the explanation.
Even so, as expected of a Demon King’s status, my status was overwhelming. However, it seemed that I was restricted because I hadn’t made my own dungeon yet.
But if I create my own dungeon, it is certain that I won’t be able to leave the dungeon like Kurokiri nii-chan.
“After that, what should be verified is…”
I made the decision to go out of the “Giant Tree that Threatens Heaven and Earth,” dungeon for the time being while familiarizing myself with my body.

(Kurokiri POV)
“How are both of your memories?”
I asked Ichiko and Ryo about Izumi.
“I can recall everything fine.”
“Not a problem. What about you, Kurokiri?”
Both of them replied with a relieved expression on their faces.
Therefore, this meant that transformation into a Demon King and memory loss were two distinctly separate issues. This was a piece of great news for both Ryo and Chirito.
“I don’t have a problem either. The only thing is that during the process of conversion to a Demon King, there was a message saying that the link would be disconnected, thus completely severing our communication.”
“That’s…”
“Well, I’ve already informed her before that Chirito is in Africa, so if she wants to come back to me, she’ll try to get in touch with him. Supposedly.”
At my words, the two of them exchanged anxious glances.
“Since this has happened, let’s leave things to take their own course. How it plays out is up to us.”
And so, despite our uneasiness, there was nothing for us to do but resume our daily routines.
