Not praying for ten strings

During the demon-summoning ceremony, Aiwass finally recalled his past life's memories.
This should be an online game that his family's company had released and operated for six years. Now, his foster father was the leader of the latest version's antagonist organization.
He would expose his identity six years later, hesitate and then defect from the protagonist's side. Ultimately, because he decided to take a fatal strike meant for the player character, he was killed by his upright older brother in a transitional CG without even a chance to enter the main content.
——But the problem was not too significant. Aiwass also knew many secret advancement routes exclusive to the player character, as well as the Nurturing Secret Sequel regulations of the various Paths. He believed he could reverse his unfortunate fate……
So now there was only one issue left.
"According to the original plot, shouldn't I have been rescued by the protagonist before this lousy ceremony even began?"
Tied to the ceremonial altar as a sacrifice, Aiwass fell into contemplation.

The sailors on deck were all hypnotized by the Sea Bride's singing, falling into a deep sleep that not even the gravest of injuries could rouse them from.


Only Professor Laximi, who was still struggling mightily against the urge to sleep, bore full witness to everything—


He saw Miss Aleister standing on deck, with that enigmatic butler right by her side.


Every time the "butler" glanced over at Professor Laximi, he felt a faint threat of death... Without a doubt, the other had the ability to easily snatch away his life.


However, the butler currently held his hands behind his back, showing no intention to attack.


Because with a mere wave of her hand, Miss Aleister had summoned an extremely terrifying Phantom Demon—


It was wreathed in fearsome flames, with a pair of bizarre and bewitching butterfly wings on its back. The eye-like patterns on its wings emitted lasers that could instantly dismember sea monsters of the Fifth Power Level!
