After our break, I went back to Deruzogedo demon king school like usual and since today is our first day back after the dungeon exam our results will also be announced.

When I entered our classroom Misha and Sasha were already sitting down next to my seat.

Yo, I call out to them as I sit down.

Good morning. Misha says in a modest voice.

Good morning. Nee, did you manage to clear up the misunderstanding? Sasha asks leaning forward over my desk.

What are you talking about? When I ask her Sasha gives me an amazed look.

What am I on about? Your parents. Me and Misha and arent going to marry you. Dont you get the importance of this? What are you going to do?

Fumu. Is it that unpleasant?

Sasha blushed when I asked her and looked away.

Im not saying that..idiot

A feeble mutter leaked out.

If you have any complaints, say it directly.

Sahsa turns back to me glaring while her <Demon Eyes of Ruin> had activated.

Anyway. Because you put that ring on Misha left ring finger its now complicated.

I look over at Misha and there on her left hand is the <Ice Lotus Leaf Ring>.

Doesnt it fit on any other finger?

Misha blinks a couple of times then nods.

Its significant

The left ring finger?

Misha nods.

Engagement.

Aah, I see. Is that why my mother got so excited?

Thing is, my mother is always excited. I didnt know the reason but it was the ring. Thats why she started talking about happiness and other things.

Im amazed. How did you not know that?

Ive only recently reincarnated. I havent had the time to learn a lot of things.

Didnt this exist two thousand years ago? Misha asks.

Aah. Engagements two thousand years ago were done under Contract <Zekt> so you didnt have to worry about being betrayed.

Whats that? Were emotions broken two thousand years ago?

I laughed at Sashas words and nodded.

In the age of myths, everyone was involved in the whirlpool of war. If you showed love to someone they would be the first to die.

Hmmm. Then Arnos, errm

Sasha looks at my face with upturned eyes.

..So there was no favourite girl?

When I looked down at Sasha she lowered her face as if to hide.

Wha, please say something.

Its nothing. I just didnt expect to be asked such a question. Its quite fresh.

A favourite girl? This me?

Were you never asked?

Aah. They probably thought the demon king of tyranny would never fall in love with someone. Well, actually, they were right. There were no easy times in that age.

Who to kill next and what to destroy next.

I was doing my best to protect Deiruheido from the front.

Im now talking about a favourite girl. I dont understand it.

Fumu. Ive got some time until Avos Dillheavia shows some movement. This is my long-awaited peace. It might not be bad to try falling in love.

I looked into Sashas eyes and she blushed a deep red.

Whwhy are you telling me?

Is that a problem?

Its. its not a problem particularly.. Sasha mutters feebly.

Hey, Sasha.

What?

Your face is red.

Sasha hides her face in her arms.

.Its..its not red, idiot.!!

She glared at me over the top of her arms but seeing that I wasnt bothered in the slightest she turned the other was as if to escape.

Arnos.

I turn around at the sound of Mishas voice.

Take it off?

Misha shows me the <Ice Lotus Leaf Ring> on her left hand.

Why?

Misha quietly looks into my eyes.

Arnos wants to fall in love.

Well, I only said it on a whim.

Misunderstood.

I see. With me putting that ring on her left ring finger people might misunderstand and think we are engaged. She offered because I might be troubled if I try falling in love.

Do you want to remove it?

Mishas eyes round when I ask her. After staring at me expressionlessly she shook her head.

Then wear it until you get bored. Im not petty enough to tell someone how they should use a gift.

Wont you be misunderstood?

I laugh at Mishas words.

Im not bothered about misunderstandings Misha. A misunderstanding wont become true no matter how long you wait. Its fine if the other person is wrong.

You might be saying something cool but please be a little bit bothered. Especially in front of your parents.

Unnecessary interference comes from Sashas side.

Ah, that reminds me. Theres something Ive been meaning to ask you for ages

Just then the bell sounded and Emilia walked in.

What?

Its fine, Ill ask you later. Sasha then turned to face the front.

Good morning. Today I will announce the results of the dungeon test.

Emilia announces the scores of each group one by one.

No other group reached the treasure room apart from us. Most got between 30 to 50 points. The highest score so far is 70 points.

And finally the score of Arnos group. Arnos group was able to obtain the Kings Sceptre that lay on the bottom floor.

When Emilia announced that the whole classroom became noisy.

However, very regrettably, the Kings Sceptre was stolen before we could verify it.

The classroom became even noisier.

Right now the full power of Deruzogedo is looking for the criminal. Until its found Arnos group will be given 70 points on a tentative basis until the sceptre is found.

I heard the sound of a desk being hit next to me.
