Chapter 17

Today’s lesson came to an end .

Explanations of different magic concepts and techniques that did nothing but make me sleepy . The test against Sasha barely qualified as light exercise .

For the last week, I’ve been going to Deruzogedo but nothing happened . No surprise raids by the humans, no petty tricks by the spirits, not even some conspiracy from the G.o.ds . Nothing at all .

I must remain wary though and be ready to protect Deiruheido if it comes to it .

I say this, but the greatly weakened Mazoku who should be vulnerable have prospered to this day .

Is there no need for my protection?

Total calm seems to have visited the Mazoku . Peace is boring, though that’s no bad thing .

“What I mean is……”

Leaving the gates of Deruzogedo Demon King Academy Sasha walks behind me complaining .

“Why do I have to go back with you?”

I tilt my head to the side as Misha looks at me as well, her eyes blinking rapidly .

“So we can deepen our friends.h.i.+p as members of the same group . ”

“I joined as your subordinate . I have no recollection of saying I would be your friend . ”

“Now, now . If it’s that unpleasant you can go home . ”

“Indeed? Well then, I’m off . Have a nice day . ”

Turning around Sasha walks off in another direction from us .

“……………”

Misha stares at her back .

Despite being expressionless she seems a bit lonely .

Can’t be helped .

“In the group opposition test, I suddenly appeared in front of your castle . ”

Sasha stopped suddenly .

“What magic did I use? Shall I show you?”

Twin-tails shaking gently Sasha looks back at us .

“I’ll use Contract

. ”

As I thought, she’s interested .

“Do whatever you want . ”

Sasha used

and I signed it with magic .

“Here . ”

I hold my hand out to Sasha .

“What………?”

“I said I’d show you but it’s faster to actually experience it . ”

“Even so, why do I have to hold hands with you?”

“You obediently held it a while ago . ”

Sasha’s face became red .

“Tha, that’s was just part of the scene . This is…… . . mongrel…… . . ”

She makes an excuse that I don’t understand at all .

“It doesn’t matter which hand you take but I can’t show you if you don’t hold my hand . ”

“……………… . . ”

Sasha holds my hand with great reluctance .

“Misha . ”

“……Nn… . . ”

Misha takes my other hand .

I make Sasha and Misha hold each other’s hand as well .

“What! Why!?”

This fellow’s expressions change an awful lot .

“If you don’t want to see it that’s fine . I won’t be breaking the contract that way . ”

Sasha quietens down and holds out her hand to Misha again .

“Here you go . ”

“……………”

Misha takes her hand with no sign of hesitation .

“Hold it tighter . ”

“Like this?”

Sasha holds my hand tighter .

Misha tightens her grip .

“Hey . Do it properly . Tighter . If you don’t, I can’t use the magic . ”

Sasha holds Misha’s hand tighter .

“…… . . Nn……”

Misha also increased her grip .

Somehow her expressionless face seemed really happy like she was smiling broadly .

Thank you, Misha’s eyes seemed to say to me .

Don’t worry about it I laugh back with my eyes .

“Nee, you . What are you talking about with your eyes?”

Sasha glares at us .

“What? Do you want to join in?”

I stare into Sasha’s eyes and her face quickly turns red .

“Fumu . You are not used to meeting peoples gazes due to your

are you Sasha?”

“No… . . that’s…… . . not… . ”

Her words vanish .

Bulls-eye? It’s no wonder really if your control over the

is lacking .

If you carelessly meet someones gaze you could kill them by mistake .

“It’s fine . Just hurry up and show me the magic . ”

“Alright, alright . Stop being so annoying . ”

I use Transfer

. Our view is dyed pure white and the next moment I’m outside my house . Blacksmith/appraisers [Solar Wind] .

“……… . . After all . Lost magic

…………… . connecting 2 s.p.a.ces…… . there’s no doubt . ”

Sasha is muttering to herself while trying to a.n.a.lyse the remaining magical residue though that’s pretty much impossible .

“This is my house . Do you want to come in?”

“Rather than that, that magic just now was

wasn’t it? How did a mongrel learn a lost magic? Teach me!”

Are you that interested? Sasha steadily edges up to me .

“If you want to know then come to my house . ”

“……… . Why do I have to enter a mongrels house… . . ?”

“Don’t be so restrained . ”

Sasha glares at me and magic formations appear in her eyes .

“I’m not!”

“Really? Are you going home? See you tomorrow then . ”

I turn my back to Sasha and talk to Misha .

“Do you want to stop by Misha?”

“… . . Nn… . . ”

“Let’s go then . Do you want to talk about lost magic today?”

Saying something provocative I put my hand on the door handle .

“Please wait!”

“Huh?”

When I turn around Sasha is muttering awkwardly .

“…I……me too……”

She looks down embarra.s.sed .

“What?”

“… . So… . . I’ll go……”

Her words disappear again and I laugh unintentionally .

“Haah . ” Sasha heaves a sigh of relief .

“You wanted to play?”

“No! My purpose is

That’s it . Will you stop it with your strange suspicions . ”

Looks like I was right with her getting so excited and denying it . Perhaps she unexpectedly wants to just hang out? Whatever . I should stop poking her . Misha gets depressed when I get too stubborn .

*Klang-klang* I open the door .

My mother who was tending the front of the store notices me and comes trotting over .

“Welcome back Arnos-chan . How was your group opposition exam today?” my mother ask with a nervous look .

“I won . ”

My mother smiles brilliantly and hugs me tightly .

“That’s amazing Arnos-chan! A genius . Only a month old and surpa.s.sing great people! Too amazing! I’ll make a feast tonight!”

She’s rubbing her cheek against mine now . Really puzzling behaviour .

“Aah, ou……”

The force of my mother is as great as ever .

“Oh, I’ve also brought guests over……”

“Misha-chan again? Mouu, Arnos-chan is so lovey-dovey . ”

My mother pokes me in the stomach with her elbow several times before speaking to Misha who was behind me .

“Welcome Misha-chan…… . eh?”

A question mark appears above my mothers head when she sees two people .

“Nice to meet you mother . I’m Sasha Necron . I’m pleased to make your acquaintance . ” Sasha lifts the hem of her skirt and elegantly bows . “… . . Mother-sama…… . what……?!” (1)

My mother seems to have received a shock of some description .

“… . . Arnos-chan has…… . Arnos-chan has…… . ”

My mother’s complexion became pale and she shouted out .

“Arnos-chan has bought a second bride hoooooooooooooome!!!!”

My mother is greatly overwhelmed and wound up while Sasha is dumbfounded .

“Errrm…… . . what do you mean?”

“Hey, hey Sasha-chan, will you calmly listen?”

My mother grabs Sasha by both her shoulders and appeals to her with a serious look .

“I’m fine and calm . ” Sasha tells my mother who’s still wound up .

“Arnos-chan is only a month old . He doesn’t know better . He doesn’t mean any harm but he’s already got a bride called Misha-chan . ”

“Hmmm . It doesn’t matter . That’s got nothing to do with me . ”

As expected of Sasha . She’s calm .

Surely my mother will pull herself together now .

“It doesn’t matter……it doesn’t matter……a mistress is good too!! Arnos-chan, Arnos-chan, why are you so popular!!”

As expected of my mother . She’s able to twist anything and put a slant on it .

“Please wait a moment . You’re misunderstanding something . ”

“Eeeeeeeehh! Then are you aiming for a stolen love!?”

“…………”

Sasha looks at me with a troubled look .

Since this is interesting I’ll leave her alone a little longer .

“How about this . Do you know Misha’s family name?”

“It’s Necron . ”

“I’m Sasha Necron . ”

“Ah, then……”

My mother was taken aback .

“That’s right . Were sisters . We only got to know each other by chance, I— . ”

“Sisters are fighting over Arnos-channnnnn!! What should I do? What should I do!? Arnos-chan is too handsome . He’s tearing up the close bond of sisterssssssss!!”

At that time a door banged open and another troublesome one arrived .

“Arnos . Papa was, papa was also naughty in the old days though I did it through fencing hahahaha”

Fumu . My father is going full power right from the beginning . Why did you start with an old tale suddenly?

“Therefore I understand your feelings well . I did dome stupid things as a boy and I’m able to understand most of them . But . ” My father’s expression turned serious . “You . You’ve got 2 women . I’m so envious!”

Fumu . Your true intentions are leaking out father .

Turning amazed eyes to both parents and child Sasha sighs .

“Hey, Arnos . Take responsibility . ”

“How? Should we get married?”

Sasha’s face turns crimson .

“How did you arrive at that conclusion? Are you stupid!”

What a noisy fellow .

“Hey, Misha . You say something too . ”

Misha thinks about it and says .

“………Sasha likes Arnos…… . . ?”

“Are you stupid!!”

Fumu . Despite calling her a trash doll their relations.h.i.+p doesn’t seem that bad .
