126 â Demon King Maker â 1
âDo you have any regrets about being the Demon King?â
âI donât know the intention of the question.â
At lunchtime, when she called out Elisiere, who was eating a human meal, in the club room with her eyes shining and asked her that, her expression returned as if she was asking such a question.
âWhen you lost the magic sword, your power was also taken away. âI was wondering if you wanted to get the demon sword back, or if you wanted to become the demon lord again.â
âI didnât ask that. âWhat I mean is, why are you asking such a question when you know that I have desperately hoped to escape from the position of the devil?â
âIs that true?â
As she pondered how to turn Nica into a demon lord, she came to her own conclusion. It was a natural fact that Elisier had no regrets about her position as the Demon Lord.
The reason she held on until now was to help me. If it werenât for that, as soon as he realized my identity, he would have thrown away everything, including the magic sword, and ran away.
Just as Laura, who experienced an unrivaled number of regressions, still avoids the same places as the original and tries to stay only in places that are touched by me, Elisier was also similar.
âAnd, I have no intention of getting the magic sword back. It wasnât my power to begin with anyway, so what would I do if I got it back? âPlease explain why you asked that question.â
âI heard about the situation in the Demon World from Nika.â
I summarized and relayed what I heard. Upon hearing the explanation that the entire Demon World had been torn apart to create a true world of the mighty and the mighty, Elisier burst into a bright smile with an extremely happy face.
âThatâs a really nice thing to do.â
âSince the Demon King seat has become vacant, Iâm going to try to get Nika to sit there. Thatâs why I asked. âIf you have any regrets, I have to give it to you.â
If you want to go back, the first place is definitely Elisier. Anyway, since she didnât even tell Nika about the plan, she can just ignore it as something that never happened.
âThat canât be possible. âI donât want to live as a demon lord any longer.â
Of course, as can be seen from the fact that she had even thought about her plan in advance, she had already made the assumption that Elisier could not do that.
âAre you sure youâll be okay?â
âYouâre okay, what is it?â
âTo ascend to the position of the devil, you need a devilâs sword. Just as a warrior has a holy sword, demon kings have had a demonic sword for generations. âA demon king without a demon sword is no different from a warrior without a holy sword.â
âOh, if thatâs the problem, itâll be okay.â
Elisier looked interested in my answer.
âThat is a very confident answer. âCan I ask why?â
âBecause you will definitely appear in front of me again.â
âYou mean the magic sword?â
âIt could be a demon sword, or it could be a demon that has taken over its power like Astaroth. Or you could go to one of the remaining corps commanders. In any case, it is clear that the Demon God will not remain silent like this.â
Hasnât there already been a history of appearing before me and failing several times? Starting from the Vampire Lord incident where he first showed his strength, to the most recent incident where Astaroth was resurrected.
They all failed, so there is no reason not to try again. Because Iâm fine and Iâm fine too. I was sure.
âSo youâre just going to stay still until then?â
âNo. Iâm going to go to the demon world and do some preliminary work. It will be enough to cut down those who are running rampant to become devil lords. âI donât really feel like it, but I need to help the succubus build a foundation.â
To be honest, we havenât 100% accepted the succubus as our side. Even if he appeared on the battlefield purely because of Astarothâs orders, killing people with his intoxication would have been entirely his own will.
I am helping them because their situation is better than that of other demons. If you donât like it, there is also a way for Nika to create new succubi on a regular basis.
âI understand the intention, butâ¦â¦ Are you sure youâll be okay?â
âOf course itâs okay. Even if things go wrong, at least one of my bodies can be taken out.â
âThatâs not it. Donât you think there will be final exams soon? âI asked if the schedule would be okay.â
âAh.â
âItâs already so late.â
It feels like Iâve experienced all kinds of incidents, but in reality, the first semester of my freshman year is just about to end. Once again, I was dumbfounded.
âBecause I had to go out a lot. âEspecially Mira, youâve been involved in quite a few incidents.â
It was a difficult statement to deny. I looked at my handwritten notes while stroking Priscilla, who was clinging to my side and purring. She had copied all of Priscillaâs lectures from her first year.
Because it has already been irreversibly distorted from the original, it is highly likely that it will not come out exactly like this, but it will serve as a reference. Itâs also a courtesy to the person who created it.
Priscilla was confident that she could write lecture notes with her eyes closed when she was told that she would study for the final exam soon. She actually closed her eyes and produced perfect notes without any typos.
Everyone knew how much time was behind those letters, so no one was impressed. Except for Priscilla, who clung to her side asking for praise.
âDid you hear the news, Mira?â
âWhat news?â
Laura, who was sitting calmly wearing my outerwear and dress shirt, suddenly opened her mouth.
âIt looks like you havenât heard it yet. It worked. âBecause I can explain it to you.â
âSo which one?â
Shouldnât you tell us what the news is so you can judge whether you heard it or not?
âThe chairman personally instructed me to give full marks to all the magic-related theory lectures you take, and to give full marks to your sparring practice as well.â
ââ¦â¦ Why?â
âI heard that all the magic tower owners claimed that. Iâm just saying that I canât have someone who has to look into the distance study something like intermediate magic theory. The chairman accepted the proposal as soon as he heard it. âThere are so many things you did in sparring practice that I wonât explain them.â
Last time, I hinted at a story about mana breathing, and it seemed like that was the reason. Even so, I was receiving reminders rather than reminders, asking when I would be able to learn.
Is this what he meant when he said he would make it for you if you didnât have time?
âThis information is still kept in strictest secrecy, so donât go public with it.â
That person, no, the dragon, of course. Since I accepted the offer to take care of him, Iâve been really anxious not to be able to take care of even one more thing.
âWait a minute. âThen I only have two subjects left to take?â
With the exception of one, all of the theory lectures are related to magic, and the area annihilation magic that was traded with Ingrid at the beginning of the semester would have been treated as a senior class long ago, so naturally, only theory and dungeon practice are involved.
Even though it was a final exam, it wasnât a final exam.
âIsnât that a good thing? If you get perfect scores in just those two lectures, you will be able to take the top position as declared.â
When I made a dumbfounded expression, Laura giggled.
âIf we were to look at the cause, it would have been wrong for you to continue to remain at the academy. You killed Mahbat single-handedly, you could stand up to the Sword Saint, you went in and out of the demon world as if it were your own home, and you even killed the succubus queen who took over the power of the demon lord with a demon sword. However, it is your conscience to expect you to be treated equally with fellow students. âThis is a serious lack of behavior.â
ââ¦â¦ Actually, it is. Because the purpose of coming here was not to graduate but to escape. âI entered the school thinking that it wouldnât matter if I quit immediately as long as I achieved my goal.â
Originally, I had planned to graduate and end it at a reasonable level, but unexpectedly I met another possessor and ended up here. It was a great butterfly effect.
âThen graduating early wouldnât be a bad idea. If we mobilize all the archmages and magic tower owners, it will be possible as soon as next semester. How is it, dear? âDonât you want to rewrite the history of the Academy?â
âAnd you want me to graduate with you? âIsnât his intention too obvious?â
âOh my gosh, I got caught. âItâs a shame.â
Even though her true intentions were revealed, Laura smiled shamelessly.
Rosaria shook her head and grabbed the last piece of chocolate left on her plate, eating it and heading to the refrigerator to get something new. It was behavior worthy of the number one criminal who ate the dessert.
In second place was Leona, but a few days ago she was replaced by Elisier. Still, Elisier was able to take into account the fact that she had not even tasted human food for hundreds of years as she repeatedly returned to her position as the Demon Lord.
I donât know about Rosaria.
ã ¡uuugh⦠â¦.
As time passes, Laura shamelessly asks for the clothes she is currently wearing, saying that her scent has weakened, Priscilla sneaks up from her side and onto her thighs, and Elisier and Rosaria Around the time I started enjoying tea time.
The magic tool for communication that was given to me at the Magic Tower vibrated with blue light. Rosaria giggled.
âSmartphones should be turned on silent in the library. âYou have no manners.â
âYou donât have anyone to contact you, so youâre just making noise?â
âHey!â
Laura burst out laughing at the ridiculousness of what she had just said, and Rosaria, who had turned her target to Laura upon seeing her, went behind her and pulled out her magic tool and placed it in her hand.@@novelbin@@
No matter what is said at the Magic Tower, it is probably not something that would be kept secret between the same possessors. If I had Ariana or Leona, I would have gone out and received it, but those two are training separately from the Sword Saint.
âTell me.â
âI didnât disturb you by any chance, right Mira?â
âIf it was a distraction, I wouldnât have accepted it. I probably broke it and asked for a new one later. âGet to the point first.â
âOne more thing before that. âIs Miss Priscilla Agnes by any chance?â
âThere is.â
He is getting his cheeks pampered with a happy face.
