The Great Sage

When Serge was voluntarily disciplining himself due to raising such a fuss, in truth, he was meeting with a certain individual during that time.

Reaching an elevation of ten kilometers, Serge had been invited to a certain garden on the summit of the Sacred Mountain Cyrus.

By the way, to say how he got there

A huge brown bird with somewhere around a hundred meters long wingspan landed in a field on the outskirts. Its head resembled a pterodactyls.

The person to answer Serge had come together with Laplace, a black-haired butler.

That has nothing to do with the laplace devil, right?

Nn?

Yes, they are names given based on a legend from a Hero-samas world.

Thats the world of BaXXruni [1]

They headed to the top of Cyrus like that, but what was there was a place built like an outdoor stage in an area covered flowers, neither of which youd expect to see that high up.

Moving forward said, they went over to the stage seating.

then it happened.

Cha~ chara cha cha~ cha cha~ cha cha~ cha~ cha~

A beautiful youth with fair skin appeared together with music.

The youth was singing enthusiastically.

Hidden by~ the~ fresh fallen~ snow~ [2]

The lyrics were wrong, but with that line, it was definitely that song.

Living in~ the magic tower~, super powered, sage~ Azelfoooooord~

He knew. He knew the song.

He knew it from that line.

To protect the continents peace, three servants were ordered.

His expectations had already vanished.

Wondrous Bird Laplace~, soar through the skies~ Poseidon~, swim through the seas~ Radam~, transform, dont give up~

Thats a parody!

After singing it properly on the second time, Azelford greeted him with a big smile.

Maybe its not the first generation Azel? [4]

Using space-time magic, thats pretty interesting. Youre a reincarnator right?

Even as fellow reincarnators, I am different from Labyrinth. Having chosen genesis magic, that ones had to work quite hard.

Right theyre from the same era.

He guided me from the stage towards the tower. It seems to be his residence.

Shes been like that for a long time. Everything considered, its amazing that her spirit hasnt worn away

There were various lab instruments and books placed everywhere inside the tower.

For Serge, someone who made sure to maintain a properly organized collection of books in his former life, it was a sight he couldnt endure for long.

Serge had come to the place of the man called the great sage because of Azels invitation.

Please, take a spot thats open. Radam, prepare some tea and sweets.

I would have arranged things a bit more usually, but recently Ive been too busy with preparing for the Millennium.

The person who was the top of the magic academy. What did he think of the Millennium?

Its as you say. We are much lacking in that. Perhaps the human race will be soundly defeated in this next Millennium.

Serge froze from the mans frank pessimism.

Eh?

Im just a mere student though

The human races loss was certain?

Serge nearly dropped the cup in his hands after hearing Azel say that in a carefree manner.

Bad things are bad, but its just that the structure of human society will change. That Demon King-san was originally a human, I dont think hed drive mankind to extinction.

Wasnt the Millennium supposed to be a huge invasion of human territory by the demon tribe?

Azel continued speaking after wetting his lips with some of the tea in his hand, speaking simply.

He stared at Serge in a discerning manner.

It was a huge surprise!

It wasnt hard for ogres, beastkin, or even other demi-humans to distribute and live with humans.

Ah, I see.

As a hero that came from Earth, moreover as a Japanese citizen, it was possible hed try it as the Demon King.

And in truth, it was an answer that Serge himself preferred.

Umm, isnt that not such a bad thing? That is of course if people could actually live in peace I mean.

Just as he was about to say something, Azel stopped speaking.

Itll work out maybe. She has a bit of a personal grudge, but she is a person that became the ogre queen after all.

He didnt know?

Ah, right. I dont know too much about it, but even though both of their bodys are mainly female, they married.

Then, well, one of the Demon Kings subordinates went to kill Carla-san, but that just caused our Joou-san to flip and and wreck him.

After hearing that, one would probably think relations between the two sides would break down.

And from what he heard after that, it seemed like she didnt just feel like killing them.

Then it looks like the ones properly fighting against the demon tribe are going to be Lemdria and Casalia huh I give up

This was a fundamental issue.

Thats its no good. Doing that will only birth bad results.

He was being evasive with his wording. There was probably something he still didnt know.

Well, theres still a bit more time. For now, how about I entice you, the queens confidant?

Ill give you the right to enter this tower. However, the third floor and up are dangerous, so dont enter them. The laboratory equipment is dangerous as well.

As a mage, these conditions were still something to covet.

Umm, why are you doing so much for me?

And he was back to being evasive.

Radam knows whats where, so ask him if you need.

Oh well. Either way, Serges purpose here was to strengthen himself.

And thus, Serge was blessed with the most advanced magical education on this continent.

Fortunately, Azel wasnt tone-deaf.
