chapter 12
12. Why did one increase?
On the way back to the academy after finishing the meeting with Marquis Agnes and the Crown Princess.
In the first place, if you meet people playing in politics for a long time, you will only receive embarrassing requests, so it is right to escape quickly. It’s only once or twice, if you get hit more then you’re an idiot. Or a climber.
‘… But what are these guys still doing?’
A few auras still felt in his room. In the meantime, another strange thing is that it is not four, but five.
Four. Of course, there must be four demon lords, but what the hell is the other one? Why five?
Has the headmaster of the student dormitory been chasing you? Are you here to find students who aren’t in the room?
It’s good to work hard, but you shouldn’t make the kids angry.
My kids are always kind to me, not to people.
Worried about this and that, Lethe finally let out a sigh and walked towards her room.
But looking at it again, the energy that stayed in her room is slowly moving away.
It looks like they are about to give up any more sit-ins and go back to their rooms.
Thinking that the dormitory superintendent did it, Lethe headed to the front of her room.
I think they said that they worked hard to erase traces or erase their energy, but there is no doubt.
You may not know others, but you cannot deceive yourself. Especially those four demon lords.
Are they the only ones who became sensitive while living together? Rather, if Lethe had become more sensitive, she would have become more sensitive, but she would not be less.
To the extent that it is not difficult to find even the traces that the demon lords have tried so hard to erase.
‘It seems that the servant has also reaped. More than anything else, Sitri, where the hell did he attach his familiar?’
She knew that the familiar itself was attached. The question is, when did it happen?
I’ve been good at handling familiars before, but I didn’t expect them to grow to this extent.
I’m proud of myself as the person who raised them, but it’s a problem because I’m using that ability for strange things.
Going inside, Lethe suddenly fell into trouble. Should I open it or not? Should we trust our children?
Thinking so, he finally decided to open her closet door first.
“… What the.”
As expected. There are a few pieces of clothes that should be hanging in the closet. Faith betrayed!
The moment she saw the sight in front of her eyes, Lethe burst into laughter without even realizing it.
No, kids. If this is the case, why did you erase the traces and energy? If you’re going to show off like ‘I come and go!’, Wouldn’t it be better to do nothing?
How are you? In the meantime, you stole it very well. One coat, two shirts, one pair of pants….
Ah. Please. Please don’t touch the underwear. Didn’t even touch that? I’m glad. The underwear is fine.
Suddenly breathing a sigh of relief over something like this, it’s a little dumbfounded all of a sudden.
Of course I knew that those girls would become the demon lords of the future.
I wanted to change. While drawing the image of facing the demons who are hungry for blood and violence together by his side.
But it seems that fate itself could not be changed. In the end, they chose to become demon kings.
However, the terrifying beings called the Demon King came here to steal clothes!
‘Thank you. Okay. Thank you, but… Hey guys. If I keep doing this, I’ll get scared too.’
Thinking, Lethe tapped the seat next to her sofa where she was sitting.
“Come and sit down.”
No answer came back. No, there was no one to answer in the first place.
But Lethe waited. She treats her like a cat watching her, hiding somewhere.
After such a short time passed, he spoke again to someone.
“Quickly.”
Unlike other children, he should not lengthen his speech.
At least when I’m alone, I have to say it briefly but clearly so I can nod my head.
“L.”
I wonder if I couldn’t stand it any longer when I called her name. Her silver hair sticks out, and she sticks her head out.
The twinkling orange eyes were full of Lethe looking at him.
“Come here.”
When I knock on the side again, the demon king who has been hiding so far approaches Dodo.
Then, after taking a look at Lethe’s eyes, he gently attaches her buttocks.
“… How did you know?”
It seems that the silver demon king was really curious about that.
I worked really hard to hide it, but it’s so easy to find out. She was a little resentful and also a little sad, but she thought it could be over because it was Lethe, and El looked to her side.
“I’m afraid I won’t even notice your energy, L.”
“… The other demon lords didn’t know.”
I can roughly predict what will come next even if I don’t listen. Because she didn’t know, she couldn’t even imagine that the Iron Witch was approaching, so she must have died. It’s obvious if you don’t look.
“Ashurang Mar, Sitri is all gone. Do you have anything left to say?”
“… No.”
“Then what?”
“….”
Elle didn’t answer right away and only twisted her fingers. If you look at her like this, she is an ordinary girl.
Looking at this woman, no one would imagine that she is a demon king, an iron witch, or a person who took the lives of hardliner demons without even knowing mice or birds.
“… I want to.”
Finally, El’s lips twitch and shed her answer. But her voice is too soft.
“I can’t hear you well, El.”
“….”
Ah, that’s right. If you say you can’t hear me, this demon lord, she won’t say anything more.
Of course, as someone who has experienced her, she knows how to raise El’s voice. She has some side effects, but one effect is certain, so she decides to use it for now.
“Wait a minute, El. Her hair is a bit tangled. See.”
“Oh.”
Gently touch her hair, which looks like a thread of silver. It would have been better if there was a comb, but unfortunately there is nothing to comb her hair at this place right now.
‘El liked to touch her hair like this.’
As a bonus, my voice, which used to be small, became much louder than usual at times like this.
“Can you say that again, El?”
“Si, I want to….”
It’s still not enough. Okay, how about stroking her hair some more?
“What?”
“… Bo, I want to see… !”
“I see.”
But if you want to see it, wouldn’t it be better to knock on the door and come to see it? Most of them would think that they were uninvited guests if they secretly sneaked in and watched.The word
Almost came out, but Lethe gritted her teeth and endured it. If I really said that, this tender Demon King would get hurt right away and cry somewhere saying ‘heukheuk’.
“Come on. It’s done. It’s all tangled up.”
As Lete’s hand fell from her hair, El’s eyes were full of regret.
I wish I could stroke you a little more. Just like before, she wants to be touched until she falls asleep next to her.
That person’s warm touch, and a gaze that’s twice as warm as that. Eating it to your heart’s content, being held in that arms, kissing your cheeks, going a little further and becoming one with that person….
“L.”
“Eh, huh?”
It’s a big deal. Did he even let his thoughts out? That, it can’t be then….
“Do you like me that much?”
“… No? If you like Lethe.”
The quick-witted L grasps the intention behind the question and asks it in reverse.
I can see that they are showing good feelings like this, but they keep avoiding them quietly.
Is there any reason why I shouldn’t like you? If that’s really the case, I’ll definitely fix it.
“There is nothing impossible. Yeah, there’s nothing that can’t be done… If you like it, it would be nice if you liked it a little more comfortably.”
“I couldn’t, I understand.”
“The other students are pretty annoying, right? People from the Empire, even elves and dwarves.”
“… Little.”
It’s only been a few days since I came to the academy, but I can already feel it.
We still hate you guys. I just want you to get out of here You crazy warmongers!
You said you wanted peace, right? Then try harder Lower your body and tell me you were wrong!
“But it’s okay. I did it. Expectation.”
“I see.”
The demons started the war first. Then, the demons were the first to propose peace.
How can those who were suddenly beaten and went through all the hardships show a favorable gaze?
They can fight more, so they’ll think there’s no need to crouch down.
“El, as well as Ashna Mar and Sitri. I wish you could bear with it a little longer.”
“That, why?”
That’s right. That’s why. The future to fight and fight again is boring now.
If you’re really going to live here, if you’re going to spend time with people who like you, isn’t a calm lake better than a stormy sea?
“Some of them will certainly try to stir up the embers of trouble again by provoking those who reached out to the empire and the demons called the Four Heavenly Kings. Could Sir Lethe stop it?”
I am not doing this for the sake of the crown princess or others. El, Ashur, Marl, Sitri. It was for the sake of the four demon lords he saved.
These are the children who came all this way for themselves. So I want to stay together even more.
I hope that they will be accepted as people who are friendly and can get along, rather than fearful beings.
It wouldn’t be bad for the demon king and the hero to become academy mates.
“I like you guys. Ashdo, Mardo, Citri, and El you too. That’s why I hope you don’t hear bad words and don’t get bad looks.”
Of course, in order to do that, this side must not continue to provoke the demon lord.
That’s something Lethe herself will do. I will never let you know that these demon lords are not harmful.
So the academy life is even more important. If you’re doing well here, it’s proof for sure.
If there’s one thing I’m worried about, it’s the warriors. They are beings who inevitably come into conflict with the demon king, so how can the two groups get along?
“Lete.”
El, who was next to her, suddenly tugged on Lethe’s sleeve.
When I look at her wondering why, her iron witch blushes.
“There is one more.”
“Are there more?”
“… The reason you came.”
More? I miss you, isn’t that the reason why the water level goes up a little more after “I miss you”?
“That.”
“That one?”
The place El pointed to was none other than the closet. Why is that all of a sudden?
“Asurang Marang Sitri.”
“Why are those guys?”
“Please. You forgot.”
So you understand what I mean-
“… No way.”
“Huh?”
“They said they didn’t pack their underwear. Did L ask you to bring it?”
Nod―
Oops, oops, it’s the head. You guys really….
“They say they need five copies.”
Why did one suddenly increase? What. What the hell is going on!
