Chapter 5: Trying Out Preventing the Ritual Part4

Part 4

Horun guided Diablo around the Magic Academy .

It seemed that there was a need for him to memorize the terrain .

He seemed to be checking on things like the layout and structures of the buildings, and places where there were a lot of people .

They went out to the schoolyard .

Diablo gazed at the old school building .

What is at the back of that?

Its a hill -ssu . Its a grove of mixed treesTheres a shed to house cleaning tools, a well, a storehouse for firewood

A well?

Its an old well that isnt used anymore -ssu ne .

Fumu

Horun didnt understand every little thing that Diablo cared for or what he didnt care for .

Whats wrong -su ka?

Europa is an Earth and Water element monster .

Horun tilted her head .

Europa?

Do not mind it .

Putting a stop to the explanation, Diablo started walking .

When they were about to head towards the old school building

A single man walked out from the Middle School Section building .

He wore a long deep red coat .

He was a blond Elf .

Horun reflexively put herself on guard .

The Royal Palace Knight!

The Royal Palace Knight!

Hou?

Diablo curved the ends of his lips .

As if they were standing in his way, the red coat man stopped walking . He glared at them with his sharp eyes .

He overbearingly made a declaration .

I am a Royal Palace KnightThanatos the Immortal .

He flourished the hem of his long, deep red coat . He flaunted the black-lacquered long sword that hung on his waist .

Diablo gulped .

Bastard, youve got quite the taste, dont you . But, knowing that I was the Demon King Diablo, you introduced yourself, didnt you?

He said that he was a Demon King!?

Horun was worried wondering if that was alright .

Thanatos opened his eyes wide .

Demon King!? I seeSo youre Diablo . Indeed . It seems the rumors of the Black Hero were true .

Did you say Black Hero? FufunAttaching such a boorish nickname to me .

The other party pointed at him .

I do not approve of someone like you . Those eyes are the eyes of one that would do wrong to the Races . The moment you reveal that true nature of yours, I, Thanatos the Immortal, will defeat you .

The other party pointed at him .

Making that declaration, he bent the finger that he turned towards them in a strange way, and held it in front of his own face .

Diablo responded, covering half of his own face with one hand . He threw a bloodshot, sharp glint of his eye from the gap between his fingers .

Ha! There is no way someone like you would be a match for me . The moment you draw that black sword, is when I shall make you taste despair .

Damned Demon KingSo youve zeroed in on my magic sword . As expected of you .

*Fufufu, Kukuku* The two of them exchanged stifled laughters .

Horun made a complicated face .

These two!?

Babylon also made a similar face and spoke .

They totally get along -ppo .

Theres no way that should be the case . Even though they were expressing real bloodlust and it should have been the atmosphere of an explosive situation, for some reason, friendliness could be felt .

Thanatos the Immortal left behind a cool sounding parting threat, and left .

Just where he was headed to was a mystery .

A few days ago, he should have been searching for some wicked magical power or something the whole time butmost likely, he was unable to identify the source of it .

Since even the Headmaster said that she would need a bit of time to do so, it shouldnt have been that easy to do .

Its fine since he surprisingly hasnt caused any problems though -su kedo .

A weird person is loitering about the academy was her evaluation of Thanatos so far .

The toll of a bell resounded from the clock tower .

Diablo glared in the direction of the old school building .

Its best if its done before it gets dark . I guess its about time to go .

Are we going -su ka? Sylvie-san still hasnt come back yet though -ssu kedo .

Its not a problem . If its Sylvie, she should be able to do something about it by the time shes needed .

She sure is trustedis the tone that was transmitted to her .

Horun thought .

Someday, I also want to be trusted by Diablo like this .

For that sake, she would now devote all of her power to the matter at hand .
