Maybe it’s because I’ve been a little busy talking with Siegfried and going back home and telling Asilier to be careful because the devil worshipers may be making a fuss around. The day went by in an instant, and the time to start the cockroach eradication operation was approaching.
Even so, I didn’t move from early morning. Unlike me and Siegfried, the students had to take classes. It was a decision I made because no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t save face later by skipping class, and I also had work to finish during the remaining time.
And now that the appointment time is approaching, Seneran asked me as he wiped his glasses after the close-knit private lesson.
“I’ve been helping you by asking you to focus, but... how are you going to use this? You haven’t even learned magic yet.”
The theory that I have been learning intensively for the past few days has yielded very satisfactory results after several rounds of verification and experimentation. From the day I heard from Eselua that it might have something to do with demons, I asked Master and Seneran for help and learned it in a bit of a hurry. There was no
Rather, it was much easier, perhaps because of the sparring with Siegfried last time. Thinking that I might be the type to learn by rolling with my body, I lifted the sword I had next to me and tried to connect it with magic.
“It’s very suitable for dealing with demons.”
Since I had nothing to hide now, I replied calmly, and Master, who had been looking at the contents I had studied and organized, tilted her head and asked:
“Magic diffusion? At best, this would be color application?”
“Hmm, I’d rather see this for myself... that would be nice. That’s an apology.”
I thought it would be faster to see it with my own eyes, so I pointed at the apple I bought for a snack while holding my sword, and Seneran and Master’s eyes naturally turned there. In the meantime, Seneran’s eyes began to glow, not knowing what I was about to do. He is really passionate about anything related to magical powers.
“This is the method I used to cut the neck of a demon tribe I met while flying through a gate in the empire... Connecting magic to the scabbard and sword separately, and using that connected magic as a bridgehead to intervene in the body and head of the target using magic, it’s interesting. The results came out.”
The sword came out without much resistance just by gently pushing up the cross guard with your thumb. And almost at the same time, an apple pops out! and split in half.
“This is an apology, so it was easy without much resistance, but the demons are a little more...”
“Wait. Wait a minute.”
I tried to continue the explanation naturally, but Seneran stopped me with an urgent voice and looked at the apple and the sword alternately with a serious expression. Then, suddenly, he walked over to the table and eagerly touched the other apples, reacting like a spectator trying to figure out a magic trick, and then slowly turned to me.
“Really?”
“There’s no reason to lie about something like this out of the blue.”
Is something strange? Just in case, when I looked at Master, I was more surprised than Seneran.
“This is... what the hell...”
“If we divide and move according to plan, even if we can’t, we can afford to run away and make contact.
In the first place, for that purpose, a team was formed by dividing the warrior party and six students in half. To be honest, I wanted to make another team with Siegfried only with the saints, but I decided to put up with it because I was worried that some of the hot-blooded students might not understand the subject and charge into a distant place. Anyway, since the warrior party has a reputation, I won’t try to ignore them and charge.
However, it seems that that was not what the hero was worried about.
“No, not that. My younger brother. I wonder if he’ll be okay alone.”
It was more awkward not to be away from my side for almost an hour, but I had sent it home this time to contact Asilie. So, just like Siegfried said, after a long time I move alone.
“It’s okay. If you move halfway together, the speed will slow down and the students may be at risk.”
However, I only thought that I would be a little lonely, but I wasn’t worried. It’s just that I’ve been hanging out with a lot of people lately, but I’ve been training more alone.
Because there was no plan to share the journey to the demon lord with anyone. It’s just that it’s not easy to take a break, but there’s no hindrance. On the contrary, if you go with someone, there is a possibility that you will be found out that you are using magic, so it becomes more troublesome.
“So don’t worry about me and take care of the students.”
“...Yes, don’t worry.”
Siegfried had no way of knowing what was going on, but he silently accepted whether he believed in my abilities. In the meantime, Cheryl, who had finished talking with the students, gestured to me and I joined them with the warrior party.
I still knew the names of Griffith and Kalitz, who was third in practical skill, but I couldn’t remember the names of the rest. I know it was just 4 5 6 in order, but even if I calmly rolled my head, I still didn’t know what I didn’t know.
“Sheryl, Griffith, and Kalitz accompany Princess Esselua and Entire. 4th, 5th, 6th. You guys follow the hero and the holy woman of the Imperial Spiritual Assembly. I will enter first.”
So I just pushed ahead with a shameless attitude like I showed in class. ‘What you said at that time must have been true’ to my confident attitude. Unlike the students who showed a moderate reaction, Siegfried, who reacted as if he saw the world as a terrible piece of trash with his eyes wide open in amazement, opened his mouth.
“Brother? Happiness is not in the order of grades!”
“What else are you talking about?”
“You should remember their names at least!”
“I’m just keeping my word.”
Perhaps it was because they were accustomed to mimicking the kind knights in fairy tales, the warrior party felt a sense of discord and tilted their heads, but since it was something that could not be explained here, I pretended not to know and glanced at Cheryl. After checking the armament of the students for the last time, they started checking the location to investigate and the joining point with the warrior party.
I didn’t need to know anything more as I was traveling alone, so I left them behind and entered the manhole-like entrance to the waterway.
