So 2000 years ago Kanon and the demon king made a pact for peace, both died,
and both reincarnated 2000 years after that. However, when the demon king
reincarnated in his own race, Kanon who was human reincarnated as a demon. Why
is that?

Why did Kanon reincarnate in another race?

Why did Kanon reincarnate in another race?


I am assuming that you're asking as you've watched the most recent, episode
nine. The answer lies back in episode two at `2:25`:

> In episode two it is mentioned that Kanon and Anos made a promise that if

Please note that at this stage in the anime this is still semi-speculation,
but rather credible speculation at that. Anos confirms this at `11:00 - 11:14`
in the anime in episode nine.
