“Chapter 70: To the Demon World 2”

– Grandmaster, what happened?

– It’s been a long time since the last meeting. I REALLY REALLY don’t feel like going, but I should at least have the decency of showing up.

Ever was trying to convince me to not go, but now she’s looking dejected at the letter.

– Also, for personal reasons, I’m taking Mike with me.

– Mike?

– Yes. As a bodyguard.

– A bodyguard? For you?

Does she really need one?

It’s not hard to tell that Ever is one of the most powerful beings to ever grace this world. She might as well not be considered human anymore.

I don’t think a woman capable of annihilating an entire country needs an escort.

– Ever, is it a letter from the Council of the Six Sages? (Feria)

– Council? (Takaya)

– Hm? Did she not tell you? (Feria)

I shook my head.

I knew there were other Level IX mages, but I thought they would have their own alias.

– Don’t you think your disciple deserves to know more about you? (Feria)

– Ugh, shut up. I wanted to tell him but I kept forgetting. (Ever)

It was a rare sight to see Ever pouting like a kid.

– Does Akane-san know about it? (Takaya)

– Of course. You’re probably the only one that doesn’t know. (Ever)

It’s not so strange considering I come from another world.

– The Six Sages are the Level IX wizards that fought for humanity during the war against the demons. The Sage of the Volcano, The Sage of the Sea, The Sage of the Clouds, The Sage of Light, The Sage of Darkness, and The Sage of the Forest. (Feria)

– My specialty is wind and earth magic. I can also control vegetation at my will. Of course, I can use other types of magic, but those 3 things are my forte.

So that’s why Ever is in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees.

– So you were called to a meeting?

– Ugh, who even came up with this idea of meetings? Just when I thought I could spend all day flirting with my new disciple.

– I’ll ignore what you just said. Can’t you refuse the invitation?

– It’s not that simple. This letter has a time seal on it. Once it runs out, I’ll be teleported to the designated spot.

– Hm, so it’s like a curse.

The red in the letter was looking more like blood.

– So why are you taking Mike with you?

– Our magic is so strong that it has a different wavelength to other wizards. We interfere with each other’s magic, so there’s a seal that shuts off any of our powers. Without them, I’m just a sexy young lady, so I’d rather bring Mike along.

Going from what she’s saying, I’m assuming all the sages are women （※Whether or not they’re seductive is not my business）

– So who’ll come with me to the demon world?

Mumuruu and Letty might be with me, but they’re demons. They respond to the orders of Azaasha.

It’s not something I want to think about, but were they to turn on me, I’d be dead for sure.

I’m not confident Akane and Meirir would be able to stand against demons.

And the other choice would be Akito and Shunichi. But they’re not in conditions to fight.

So, the last option is…

– Fine. I’ll do it. I’ll go with Takaya to the demon world.

The elf Feria spoke up.
