Chapter 32.2

There’s many towers built on the site of Deruzogedo and some of them seem to be sites for union activity. These are places where students with common hobbies and interests gather.

There’s a fencing union where students can train in the way of the sword, a magic research union. Various unions exist.

There’s a plate over the door into the tower that has the unions name on in large letters.

[ARNOS FAN UNION]

“Fufufu. How’s this? Us fans of Arnos-sama formed an Arnos fan union so we can support Arnos-sama. What we are doing here is not the activities of the Unificationists. We are making pure remarks about Arnos-sama’s everyday life, his smart and manly figure and when he says something wonderful. We just talk about such things.”

“How stupid!”

Sasha intensely retorted to the proud Misa.

“So you say but it conforms to the rules of the demon king academy and avoids punishment. As long as we follow the rules then the words of Melheys-sama are effective.”

Misa then opens the door of the union tower and steps in.

“Anyway, the Arnos fan union is a temporary disguise to avoid public notice. Every day we are earnestly discussing ways to defeat the oppression of the royal families.”

When we entered the tower all the students inside turned to Arnos at once.

“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Arnos-sama! It’s Arnos-samaaaaa!!”

“No way. It’s a lie, right? Why? Why!?”

“What should I do? Right now? Maybe….Aren’t I breathing the same air as Arnos-sama!?”

“Right, that’s riiiiiight! A kiss! This is an indirect kiss!!”

“C….ca…….calm down! That means you’re indirectly kissing everyone here!!”

Sasha turned her gaze to Misa.

“What was that about earnest discussions?”

“Ah…..ahaha…..I’m ashamed to say, but this union did start out as a temporary thing but before we noticed it everyone had been taken in by Arnos-sama’s charm……..”

“There’s no need to be ashamed.”

At that time a girl seemed to have resolved herself and stood in front of me.

“A…Arnos-sama! Could you sign this!?”

The girl cast Contract and presented it to me.

Fumu. It’s a contract that states she will be my fan for her entire life.

I have no disadvantages at all. Frankly speaking its a silly way of using Contract but I can’t say that.

“Hey you, wait a minute. Stealing a march is no good. I want it too please!”

“Me too.”

Students start gathering around me one by one casting Contract .

No matter how much you examine it with your demon eyes its a contract that is only disadvantageous to them.

“Is this something common in this era?”

When I asked Misha she shook her head.

“Only for popular people.”

It’s a bit embarrassing to be called a popular person.

“Just because it’s popular you use . What does that even mean? Is that a good idea?”

“Were there no fan unions two thousand years ago?”

“I’ve never heard of one.”

Misha thought for a while then said.

“Everyone wants to show their loyalty.”

Fumu. I see. Loyalty? It does remind me of the atmosphere that Shin used to have. Are they proud to offer their loyalty to me?

I thought he was the only strange mazoku that thought like that. I guess times haven’t changed that much after all.

“Ah, errm, everyone. You can’t do something like this so suddenly. There’s an order to things.”

Misa broke through the women asking for my signature.

“Other than you it seems there are no other decent people. Is the unification faction going to be all right?”

“……..Everyone will be all right when the time comes…..ahahaha…….”

Misa seems to have no other choice but to laugh.

“Whatever. Don’t worry about it Misa. One or two signatures doesn’t matter. I’ll do as many as they like.”

“Eeh? Really? Then me too please!”

With incredible force and vigour Misa forms and bows her head.

Sasha’s eyes seem to say [you too?] when she looks at Misa.

“Ah…ahahaha……..Is it no good……?”

“Ah! Misa is unfair! Getting ahead like that!”

“That’s right. Everyone here wants Arnos-sama’s signature!”

At the other women’s protests Misa grandly says.

“No. In only this, I cannot back down. It was I that bought Arnos-sama here so I should have the honour of stealing the first signature! I will take the first issue!”

Magic particles begin to rise from Misa’s body. Is it because she’s getting ready for a fight?

Fumu. Her magic power wavelength is different from a normal mazoku. Is that the power of the spirits mixed in with her magic?

“Even so Misa, we won’t let you get away with it so easily…….”

“That’s right. Even if I throw everything else away I won’t hand over that first signature!”

Other women begin releasing magic power and the atmosphere quickly becomes explosive.

“…….Calm down everyone. Why are you fighting over such a silly thing?”

When Sasha asked several women replied.

“The signature of Arnos-sama is worth betting your life on!”

“Indeed. Even if I die here I have no regrets. It may seem strange but this is something we cant hand over!”

Misa smiled and had a philosophical look on her face.

“Please laugh if you like Sasha-san. If you like Arnos-sama then you cannot withdraw from this for we are the Arnos Fan Union.”

Magic power rises and magic sparks begin to scatter.

Just as they were all about to move in unison I said.

“Fumu. So the important thing here is that all members want the first signature?”

At my voice, all the female students stand still.

“That’s right, but everyone can’t get the first signature. Even if you sign at the same time there will still be an error of 0.1 or 0.01 seconds. That difference will separate the first and the others……”

“Why are you all getting so excited over the first signature…….? 0.1 seconds for the first time……..”

Sasha complains.

“Well, such is their beliefs. I don’t intend to laugh at them. If you believe me to be the demon king of tyranny then you should stop saying that something is impossible.”

I signed everyone’s at the same time.

“Eh? Eeeh? Kyaaaaa! Look ! Look! Signed it. He signed it!”

“Me too! Me too! I saw it! It didn’t even have a 0.1 second error time. It wasn’t even 0.00001 seconds. It’s an identical time!!”

“Really!? Everyone gets the first issueeeeeee!”

I said to the women that showed surprise.

“What? I used Time Manipulation to stop time for a moment and signed everyone’s .”

As soon as I finished speaking screams came out.

“Stopped time to give us a signature!! Super cooooooooool!”

“My heart stops if you do such a thing!!”

Yare yare.

“So noisy over a signature.”

“If you think so then don’t sign anything else.”

Sasha mutters unneeded words from the side.

(1) I’ve changed united group to unification faction.
