Volume 10, Chapter 5: Trying Out Preventing the Ritual – Part 4
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Horun guided Diablo around the Magic Academy.
It seemed that there was a need for him to memorize the terrain.
He seemed to be checking on things like the layout and structures of the buildings, and places where there were a lot of people.
They went out to the schoolyard.
Diablo gazed at the old school building.
「What is at the back of that?」
「It’s a hill -ssu. It’s a grove of mixed trees……There’s a shed to house cleaning tools, a well, a storehouse for firewood……」
「A well?」
「It’s an old well that isn’t used anymore -ssu ne.」
「Fumu……」
Horun didn’t understand every little thing that Diablo cared for or what he didn’t care for.
「What’s wrong -su ka?」
「Europa is an Earth and Water element monster.」
Horun tilted her head.
「……Europa?」
「Do not mind it.」
Putting a stop to the explanation, Diablo started walking.
When they were about to head towards the old school building──
A single man walked out from the Middle School Section building.
He wore a long deep red coat.
He was a blond Elf.
Horun reflexively put herself on guard.
「The Royal Palace Knight!」
「Hou?」
Diablo curved the ends of his lips.
As if they were standing in his way, the red coat man stopped walking. He glared at them with his sharp eyes.
He overbearingly made a declaration.
「I am a Royal Palace Knight──Thanatos the Immortal.」
He flourished the hem of his long, deep red coat. He flaunted the black-lacquered long sword that hung on his waist.
Diablo gulped.
「ッ……Bastard, you’ve got quite the taste, don’t you. But, knowing that I was the Demon King Diablo, you introduced yourself, didn’t you?」
──He said that he was a Demon King!?
Horun was worried wondering if that was alright.
Thanatos opened his eyes wide.
「Demon King!? I see……So you’re Diablo. Indeed.……It seems the rumors of the “Black Hero” were true.」
「Did you say Black Hero? Fufun……Attaching such a boorish nickname to me.」
The other party pointed at him.
「I do not approve of someone like you. Those eyes are the eyes of one that would do wrong to the Races. The moment you reveal that true nature of yours, I, Thanatos the Immortal, will defeat you.」
Making that declaration, he bent the finger that he turned towards them in a strange way, and held it in front of his own face.
Diablo responded, covering half of his own face with one hand. He threw a bloodshot, sharp glint of his eye from the gap between his fingers.
「Ha! There is no way someone like you would be a match for me. The moment you draw that black sword, is when I shall make you taste despair.」
「Damned Demon King……So you’ve zeroed in on my magic sword. As expected of you.」
*Fufufu, Kukuku……* The two of them exchanged stifled laughters.
Horun made a complicated face.
──These two!?
Babylon also made a similar face and spoke.
『They totally get along -ppo.』
There’s no way that should be the case. Even though they were expressing real bloodlust and it should have been the atmosphere of an explosive situation, for some reason, friendliness could be felt.
Thanatos the Immortal left behind a cool sounding parting threat, and left.
Just where he was headed to was a mystery.
A few days ago, he should have been searching for some “wicked magical power” or something the whole time but……most likely, he was unable to identify the source of it.
Since even the Headmaster said that she would need a bit of time to do so, it shouldn’t have been that easy to do.
──It’s fine since he surprisingly hasn’t caused any problems though -su kedo.
A “weird person is loitering about the academy” was her evaluation of Thanatos so far.
The toll of a bell resounded from the clock tower.
Diablo glared in the direction of the old school building.
「It’s best if it’s done before it gets dark. I guess it’s about time to go.」
「Are we going -su ka? Sylvie-san still hasn’t come back yet though -ssu kedo.」
「It’s not a problem. If it’s Sylvie, she should be able to do something about it by the time she’s needed.」
She sure is trusted──is the tone that was transmitted to her.
Horun thought.
Someday, I also want to be trusted by Diablo like this.
For that sake, she would now devote all of her power to the matter at hand.
