Chapter 14

WhWhat are you saying? You . . I dont understand what you are saying .

After finally opening her mouth a boring answer comes out .

Im inviting you to join my group . Whats hard to understand about that?

Im not on about that . Im a group leader .

Quit then .

Haaaaa!?

Sashas mouth falls open again and she looks at me in amazement .

Stop saying such foolish things . I have no reason to quit being a group leader .

If you join my group you can patch up your relationship with Misha .

Did my words irritate her? Sasha starts glaring at me .

I have never thought of that doll as my younger sister .

Making a parting remark Sasha returns to her seat .

. Im sorry . Misha murmured next to me .

You do not need to apologise . It was that fellow that picked a fight with me .

*Furufuru* Misha shakes her head .

. . Sasha is a good person . .

Are you defending her because shes your older sister or do you really think that? Its hard to judge due to Mishas deadpan expression .

. . Its my fault

Fumu . Even after being called a trash doll, Misha doesnt seem to hate her sister .

Well then, let me correct myself . I was suddenly attacked by <demon eyes of ruin> though Im perfectly fine . That is not your fault .

Misha stared at me .

. . Gentle

I admit I am a little worried .

What did she mean by doll?

. .

Misha closes her mouth and doesnt answer .

. . I cant say

You dont want to tell me?

Whatever . Whether Misha is a doll or not is irrelevant . She is still my friend .

Its fine . Im not particularly interested .

Misha smiled a relieved smile .

. Nn

Signalling a fresh start a sharp clap rang out suddenly .

Okay then . It seems that the groups have been decided . Ill continue with my explanation so everyone please return to your seats .

At the sound of Emilias voice, all the students return to their seats .

From this point on I will be teaching you all magic and we will be starting with Demon King Army <Guys> . This magic is especially suited for warfare so in 1 week there will be a test . All groups will fight each other so please study hard for it .

Emilia begins by explaining the test to us .

When fighting in a group, Demon King Army <Guys> raises your overall fighting ability .

Its a bit of strange magic though . Depending on the user and their subordinates it has 7 classes and changes .

Demon King (King)

Castle Lord (Guardian)

Sorcerer (Mage)

Therapist (Healer)

Summoner (Summoner)

Demon Swordsman (Cavalier)

Shaman (Shaman)

Each of these 7 classes bestows a particular trait . For example, the Castle Lord (Guardian) excels in building castles and dungeons, barriers and anti-magic walls . Reinforcement magic is bestowed .

On the other hand weapon magic and attack magic is forcibly weakened .

As long as the class characteristic is adhered to, the general magic power of your group will improve .

The caster of the spell will always be the Demon King (King) and supply the magic effects to their subordinates . Its also possible to supply magic power as well .

Naturally, if the Demon King (King) dies or runs out of magic power then the spell is cancelled and the magic effect disappears .

Ill now judge if the team leaders can use this magic .

If the team leaders cant use this magic then their members will have chosen poorly .

In order, each team leader cast Demon King Army <Guys> . None of them failed or seemed to have a particular problem .

If Im honest, in an actual war none of these fellows would be usable . Only Sasha performed well casting a very stable spell . I guess thats why shes one of the chaos generation .

Very good . Ill now give a detailed explanation of the spell . First off

Emilia restarts the class, however, because this is the magic that I developed I already know it all .

Also, she makes mistakes in her grand explanation but if I pointed them out it would be never-ending . Lets just ignore it .

I started to feel sleepy from such a boring lesson and before I noticed it I had nodded off .

While my consciousness was absent the class bell rang and the lesson ended .

Misha .

A harsh voice caresses my ear . Its Sasha .

Will you tell him?

Is this about me?

. . Wake up . . ?

No need .

I thought theyd start talking but theres nothing but silence for some reason .

Nee . Why are you with him?

After a brief pause Misha says

Friend . .

I see . Is it fun?

. Nn . .

I see, Hmph . Good for you .

Sashas words are stinging but she also seems to be happy somehow .

Misha said that she did not know if they were on good terms or not . She doesnt seem to hate Sasha and that remark about her being a trash doll . Are there some circumstances behind it?

Well, they are sisters . Quarrelling is inevitable .

And? Whats your business?

Kyaaa!!

Sasha jumped back surprised .

Dont get up so suddenly! I was surprised .

Couldnt you tell from my magic power flow that I was awake? You truly are a pitiable person .

Sasha starts glaring at me again .

So? What do you want?

<Demon eyes of ruin> appear in Sashas eyes .

By choice, changes in your emotions along with intensity can cause demon eyes to appear .

In other words, its not always controllable .

Although she cant control it her <demon eyes of ruin> are beautiful and that beauty is a manifestation of her talent .

Lets fight .

It was an unexpected proposal .

2000 years ago those with the courage to say that to me in such a dignified manner were rare amongst both the humans and mazoku .

With me? What type of game is it?

*Kuukuu* I laugh . No matter the game I dont feel like losing at all .

Emilia-sensei said so right? In one week we will be tested by fighting each other . How about the loser has to do what the winner asks?

I see .

Most amusing .

If you win Ill step down as team leader and join your group .

What if you win?

Sasha smiles and says

I get you .

You want me to join your team?

No . You will cut all ties with that doll over there and become my thing . You will offer your absolute obedience to what I say . I wont permit any back talk .

With a prideful look, Sasha looks down on her sister .

Misha, remember this . All of your things are mine . Even your friends . I will not give anything to you at all . Such an interesting toy is wasted on you .

Yare yare . I dont know where these spiteful remarks to Misha are coming from, also, Why am I being treated like a toy?

Whatever . Im fine with that .

Oh? You agreed very easily . Is that okay?

Well, Im going to win anyway so yeah .

Sasha glares at me some more .

I was careless earlier . Wash your neck and wait a week .

Sasha left with a flutter of her skirt .

When she joins us you can make up .

Mishas eyes blinked in surprise .

So you invited Sasha

It might be unwanted interference .

Misha shakes her head and smiles faintly .

. . Thank you . .

It felt like Misha wanted to be friends with Sasha . Was I right?

Well, one way or the other it will work out .

Dont worry . Ill do my best against the other teams next week .

*Kokuri* Misha nods .

Ill do my best
