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 friendship 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 relationship doesn’t seem that bad .
