We enter our classroom and take our seats.

Oh yeah Ray about that thing you mentioned before.

Nn?

Leaning back in his chair Ray looks over at me.

Have you got time after school?

You going somewhere?

Somewhere secret. Ill give you a demon sword.

Ooh. I look forward to it.

Quiet voices come from the classroom.

Its my fan union.

Hey, hey, did you hear that?

What?

After school Arnos-sama is going to give Ray-kun his demon sword.!

In other words!?

Arnos-samas sword has become a demon swoooooord!!

A demon sword, kyaaaaaaa!

Should I report it to honoured mother.?

She might be shocked though

Youre right..but.

Fumu. Apparently, there seems to be another misunderstanding. I cant let this be reported to my mother or even more misunderstandings will arise.

Elen, Jessica.

When I call their names they turn to look at me in surprise.

Ye..yesss Arnos-sama!

What is it!?

Ill gently persuade them.

Its a secret from my mother.

.Un.understood.

Ill protect it with my life!

That should do it. It takes time to resolve misunderstandings but at least they shouldnt talk about it now. If you dont know something you cant misunderstand it.

What should we do? Weve been sworn to secrecy..

So its true after all..

Sasha sends an amazed look my way.

What?

Nothing. I just wonder if this will work out like you hope.

I laughed at Sashas words.

This much is no big deal.

I dont think youve got the margin you think you do. Im pretty sure this situation will be irreparable soon.

Are you worried?

.Im not worried particularly Sasha murmurs.

The bell to begin lessons rings out but no one comes.

Strange. Misha mutters from her seat next to me. Emilia-sensei is always on time.

Sasha speaks up as she notices something.

Nee. Didnt Emilia-sensei attack your mother on the day of the tournament?

Aah.

.Whats wrong? Sasha asks me as I start laughing.

What do you think happened to her?

Sasha pulled back a little at my words.

Stop it. Dont laugh like a demon king..

I only laughed normally though and I am the demon king so of course my laugh is a demon king laugh.

Okay, everyone back in your seats.

A woman with long ears enters the classroom.

Shes wearing the same black academic robes that Emilia wore so shes obviously a teacher here.

Right, its nice to meet you all. Im Menou Historia and Im in charge of the 3rd year class 1. Though its only temporary Ill also be in charge of this class.

The classroom becomes noisy.

One of the female students raises her hand and asks.

Sensei, what happened to Emilia-sensei?
