109 – Grand Duke Aka – 109
“that… … . Are you okay? My arms have been trembling ever since.”
Marvas was still looking at the holy sword in his hand and smiling with satisfaction.
If you look only at that figure, you can say that it is the look of a benevolent grandfather looking into the holy sword, but the problem is… … … .
burrr
It was said that the hand holding the holy sword was shaking very badly.
Like a burnt hand.
“hahahaha, it’s a sharper sword than I thought. It must taste tame.”
what?
“Tame the holy sword… … ? Are you?”
“What else is wrong? A holy sword is a sword after all. hahahaha.”
Even as Marvas smiled and said that, the holy sword in his hand continued to weep.
“Is there any pain? My hands are burning because of the divine power.”
“Well, as you can see, it’s a burning pain, so there’s nothing I can’t stand.”
And Paimon, who was watching the scene from the side, shakes his head with a tired expression.
“I think I have a hobby too… … . That inspiration is ‘real’, so it’s scary.”
“The demon king is a holy sword. It’s a strange picture. Hmm… … .”
Raphael, who had been watching Marvas’ sword carefully, tilted his head as if something was strange.
“Why but Raphael? Is there any problem?”
When I asked if it was something related to Raphael, she shook her head.
“No, rather the opposite. It felt so different from the divine power we use. It doesn’t seem to be a celestial object where a celestial deity resides.”
“okay?”
This world had quite a few religions thanks to the gods from other worlds, so it shouldn’t be strange.
“Isn’t there a brief explanation attached to the treasure chest? There should be an explanation of what it is.”
“It just says Unidentified Holy Sword, right? That’s why I like it, though.”
At Marvas’ words, everyone else around them showed expressions that they couldn’t understand, but the instructor, Selua Negal, seemed different.
“To think that you were taming your sword by inflicting pain on your own… … . Truly a swordsman!”
It’s like a bean pod.
Anyway, I packed up the reward and was about to return to the academy, but it seemed that there was an official ceremony for the emperor.
They say it’s a banquet for the benefactors who saved the empire… … .
Isn’t it a boring part?
To put it simply, it could be said that it was a heartwarming event in which we received the rewards we had chosen separately in the hands of the emperor.
Even though there was a small happening in the middle, smoke rising from the hand of Marvas, who had been handed the holy sword, along with the smell of grilling meat.
What followed was a simple banquet.
In short, the banquet of the imperial family… … . It was like the animal kingdom.
It is because many men flocked to Rosé, probably because of her ability to smoke a pipe.
“Lady Euglia! Please dance with me!”
“Lady Euglia? Are you having a good time with me?”
“As rumored, you are really beautiful! Lady Euglia!”
What’s absurd is that Rosé, who didn’t get over this kind of trick, said, “Would you like to go smoking together?” It means that I fell in love with the words ‘Young lady’, but… … .
Well, thanks to going with me, nothing big happened.
How dare guys who are no more than aristocrats of the empire try to cross our rosé.
I wanted to shout out for transformation and perform a flamboyant Cossack dance in the middle of the banquet hall, but I managed to endure it because the other colleagues had face.
Of course, I wasn’t alone in stopping the people approaching Rosé.
“It stings.”
Marvas wears the holy sword handed back from the Emperor’s hand and wears a painful expression on his waist.
No one approached when the great demon swordsman was sitting next to Rosé, who was being destroyed by divine power in real time.
Rosé herself didn’t seem to know that she was being targeted, but… … .
“Whoah~ I ate a lot and drank a lot~ It was so good!”
After returning to the room after the banquet, Rosé pats her stomach and smiles brightly.
Rosé lays down on the bed after untying the hairpins she had tied for the banquet.
“If you lie down immediately after eating, you might turn into a cow.”
“yes? Oh my, you do exactly what my mother used to say when I was little. It’s absolutely not possible~?”
Looking at Rosé, who was still pounding on the stomach while saying that for some reason, I felt like teasing her, so I lowered my voice and sat down next to Rosé and quietly opened my mouth.
“… … I used to believe that too.”
“… … yes?”
“If I had listened to my mother at that time, I wouldn’t have turned into a bug.”
“Yes, Neet?!”
“okay… … . Like you, I also took on the appearance of a bug because I ate and lay down right away. All the other bug-type demons also ate and lay down right away, so that’s what happened.”
“Now, wait a minute! Really?! It’s dangerous!!!”
Surprised by my story, Rose jumped up and started stroking the top of her head and side.
“feeler! feeler! eight! eight!”
“Oh, here’s a little arm.”
“Ughgyaaa?! Oh, no!”
“Because it’s a joke, of course.”
“No, you’re kidding! You said it with such a serious face that I thought it was real!”
Rosé sits down on the bed again, relieved by the word joke. Still, perhaps thinking that she didn’t know, Rosé consciously continued to play with her hair.
“still… … . I’m really going back to the academy tomorrow.”
Yes. The long, long daily life in the empire has finally come to an end.
The 3rd prince, who had been corrupted by the brainwashing of the ‘fallen angel’, was entrusted to the priests and received virtually confinement-like treatment, and Priscilla was able to establish her own power more clearly than ever before.
We were able to have a strong backing ship called the Holy Heinrich Empire.
“Ha, Instructor Sellua said that if you go in, there will be a lot of supplementary classes waiting for you… … . I don’t want to go back… … .”
Yes, I missed such a long time, but there was no way there would be no make-up classes.
“I’m sorry. I’m a summoned beast, so I don’t listen.”
“Ugh! betrayer! Please listen!”
“I’m going to be busy.”
“I love you so much!!!”
When you spend time teasing Rosé like that, be smart. A knocking sound was heard.
“Has anyone come by this time?”
“no? Didn’t you say that someone was coming?”
Then who are you?
no way… … . The male aristocrat who flirted with Rosé?
“I’m leaving. transform.”
As she stood up from her seat and shouted that, Rose, startled, stepped back.
“hehehe! Do I really have to transform and leave?”
“… … Anyone who knows me won’t be surprised.”
“That, that’s it, but… … .”
When I opened the door in a transformed state, Priscilla’s sister was staring blankly at me with an expressionless expression. I saw Ezazel’s figure.
“Ah, you opened it—————”
ah.
“Hiccup.”
Ezazel’s small body trembled.
“Hiccup. Hiccup. Hiccup. Hiccup. Hiccup. Hiccup. Hiccup.”
And in the eyes of Ezazel, who was starting to hiccup badly.
“Huh!”
Tears began to flow.
“… … ah.”
f*cked.
* * *
It was Rosé who calmed down Ezazel.
“Come on, Ezazel~. It’s a deep breath! after! under! after! under! do! Just like when you smoke!”
“after… … under… … after… … under… … . But I don’t smoke… .”
“oh! that… … ! So keep going! after! under!”
“… … no. I’ve calmed down. thank you Roger.”
“thank god… … . Gregory-nim, who transformed and left, was bad.”
“… … What do you think that’s what you see?”
“still… … . Gregory-sama’s transformation is not a good feeling for a child to see… … .”
Who would have wanted to become a cockroach?
I was upset for no reason, but it wasn’t really my fault, so I decided to stay still.
“no. Excuse me for being surprised by Gregory-sama’s real face. sorry.”
“Ezazel… … ! good kid!”
Rosé shouted and hugged Ezazel’s small body.
Was this your first experience? Ezazel was dragged away without any resistance.
“Breathless… … .”
Rosé, startled by the crushing voice that came from her chest, let go of her arm holding Ezazel.
“oh! sorry! It’s so cute that I don’t even know… … !”
“… … I’m used to it because I’ve been bullied often by my older sister since the old days.”
It was said that I was attracted too easily, so I guess I was used to it.
Then, all of a sudden, I realized that I couldn’t see anyone.
“Ezazel. What about Sandalphon?”
“Ah, since I came all the way here secretly, I am in the mental space. I should summon her too. Sandalphon?”
At Ezazel’s call, the angel Sandalphon appears in an instant, creating a halo of light.
“Oh, you arrived, right? I thought Ezazel was startled just now, so I thought she was caught by a guard. What?”
She appeared with an expression of endless boredom, and she walked over to Ezazel’s side and smiled.
“then… … . Should I do that?”
“… … yes. I should.”
That’s it. What are you talking about?
“Thank you for saving my sister. Roger. Gregory.”
“Thank you for saving Raphael! Half Elf! Gregory!”
Scared to be curious, the two bowed their heads toward us and thanked us.
“to? Go, suddenly? no! It was definitely something I had to do! Priscilla and Raphael are our friends too! that, right? Gregory?”
“No, at times like this, it’s polite to properly accept thanks. Rosé.”
It’s the princess and the angel who came this far to say thank you, but it was more appropriate to accept this rather than just saying it’s okay.
That way, you’ll be able to lighten the other person’s burden.
“yes? is that so? Big, big! Your thanks will be greatly appreciated! Please raise your head!”
“No, I didn’t mean to be so overbearing.”
“yes? Was it overbearing?!”
“It’s a joke.”
“I’m surprised!”
Is it because of our tensionless conversation? The two raised their heads and smiled at us.
“Thanks to you, my sister was able to get out of danger. I will definitely repay the favor later.”
“Thanks to the two of you, Raphael-sama was able to get past the great danger. I’ll repay the favor later!”
“okay? Return the favor… … .”
If that’s the case, there’s one good way to repay the favor.
“Since it’s grace, I have something to offer you two.”
“A suggestion? I will listen.”
“proposal? listen and answer Gregory.”
Yes, this would be a suggestion that would serve us well in the future.
Of course, both of them.
