17 – Demons
“Come to think of it, what about hockey with my parents?”
Who is hockey? She is my sister She said that she had a sister in her previous life, but she did not say that she did not have one in this life.
Of course, my parents are well. (Maybe)
For a month before Hestia Academy’s full-scale entrance ceremony began, I did not just play or train, but first quickly moved my family to a comfortable country where it was hard to find a place in the city and the name was unknown.
At that time, I didn’t have a mask, so I couldn’t go see him in person, so I asked Professor Agar to send me a letter I wrote to my parents (I left the party and became a professor. I have a lot of this, so please do it.
Besides, filial piety is right. This is because my parents have said many times that they would like to move to a friendly and comfortable country and enjoy a slow life.
But hockey doesn’t like the countryside, does it? It’s not to the level of ‘I hate it’.
Still, there are small towns around me, and I’m still 16, so it’s too early to enter an academy, and there’s a celle (a place where students go to school before attending an academy) around my age.
What. It will be fine.

“Yes? Are we moving?”
“Yes.”
“Where are you going?”
“They say it’s a town called [Libya] In the province of the empire.”
“What should I do with my brother? If we move house, he won’t be able to come to visit us.”
“The person who moves us is the older brother you speak of.”
“Yes? What are you talking about?”
“Damn it… He worried us so much because he didn’t send a letter for 5 years, and he sent a letter saying he became a professor at the academy after a long time and asked us to be filial. He moved us to the countryside where we wanted to go for a long time. He gave it.”
“My older brother?”
“Yeah, but anyway, shouldn’t the son come and see his face at least once?”
“hahahaha… My brother must be very busy too..”
“Even if you’re busy, really!”

I was looking at the girl in front of me. In front of the school gate of Hestia Academy, he looked around the premises and thought that she might be lost, so he brought her.
But my eyes can’t be fooled.
A presence that I felt a lot when I was an adventurer, a strong presence felt through my skin.
“This guy is the devil.”
At my words, Freya’s eyes widened in surprise.
“The devil?!”
“Yes”
You will be surprised. Now the Empire is a country that has developed considerably.
It was said that it would be difficult for demons or beasts to invade from the outside without leaving any traces. And in another way, it was said that he had already entered the Empire roughly 500 years ago. Perhaps the devil who came in at that time is not alive.
So it’s probably a demon that broke through the Empire’s defenses…
If that’s possible, it must be a fairly powerful demon, and I can’t even feel it.
“But this demon was meekly captured.”
“Yes?”
I looked at the demon girl in front of me.
“I don’t know exactly what kind of demon it is. I think it’s probably a demon with considerable power.”
The demon girl, who hadn’t said anything at that time, opened her mouth.
“That’s right! You have eyes to see!”
Fraya, who was watching the scene, said.
“But… To see such a powerful demon disguised as a girl and watching an academy full of students… Absolutely…”
Come to think of it, thinking like that makes me look like a real pervert.
“Who is disguised as a girl!”
“What?”
“I’ve hidden my horns with magic now, but this is my true form!”
This is what it looked like?
“How old are you?”
“I’m 120 years old now!”
“120 Years old? How much is that by your standards?”
“Don’t you know? No, it could be. Even demons have different lifespans depending on the type, so according to you humans, they’re probably about 18 years old.”
You are much younger than I thought.
“So?”
“What is it?”
“So what were you doing at the academy gate?”
“What is that? Don’t worry. I have no intention of harming humans. I like humans in the first place.”
“Do you like humans? Demons?”
“Yes, my husband is human too.”
“Ah…”
What?
I was slightly stunned by the shocking news.
Freya was also surprised that a demon married a human. But for some reason, it seemed a bit gloomy.
Why?
“Then what was the purpose?”
“I just came to see my daughter who goes here.”
….Did I hear that wrong?
“Daughter? Did Freyja have demon students at this school?”
“No? Not a single student was a demon.”
In the first place, due to the nature of the empire that hates demons, it would be impossible to enter the capital city of Rikir or to enter Hestia Academy.
“Of course not. I told you earlier, but my husband is a human? My daughter is a human too.”
“I see.”
It’s hard to think that a devil’s offspring is a human.
“That’s why.”
“Huh?”
“Can you please let me meet your daughter?”
Once I came here, I understood why. But
“What do you believe in and let me meet you? The reason is anyway, the devil. There’s no guarantee that what you say isn’t a lie.”
“Ha… Is this how it ends? It can’t be helped.”
Are you trying to use force?
I don’t know exactly who the opponent is, but it’s clear that he has strong power. This is Hestia Academy. I am here and Freya is here, so I can block or kill her anyway.
But there will be some damage in the end, whether it’s a lot or not. But it’s okay if that little damage is our injury or the damage to the building… But it shouldn’t go to the students.
I was a little nervous.
I thought of the best move in my head. When that demon moves, use a barrier in this room, fire a fireball at the face to obstruct your vision, strengthen your hands and feet, quickly approach and hit the ship as hard as you can, and use a fireball directly inside the ship like Freya did. Spreading the distance slightly with acceleration, I pulled out the sword from my waist…
As I thought, the devil girl’s mouth slowly opened.
.
.
.
“Let’s play rock paper scissors!”
Yes?
“If I win by playing rock-paper-scissors, let it go!”
What?
“Why? Not so good?”
Ha… For some reason, being nervous made me feel like an idiot…
I opened my mouth.
“Why don’t we sign a contract instead?”
“Contract?”
“Doesn’t the devil know? A soul contract.”
“That’s a contract humans make when they make a wish! It’s not something like this!”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to have the soul to bet on and make the contract ‘don’t buy it’?”
“Oh, that’ll work.”
She accepted it more readily than I thought.
“Are you okay?”
Freya asked.
“Well, this will be fine.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Anyway, the story the demon girl told seemed to be all true.
She really didn’t feel comfortable letting her go, thinking that if she came to see her daughter, she might be in danger.
Come to think of it… What kind of devil is this guy?
“Come to think of it, what kind of devil are you?”
“Me? I am a succubus.”
“A succubus? You mean a succubus?”
“Yes, and besides, I am the succubus queen.”
“Queen?”
You were bigger than you thought, right?
Yes, but…
“Isn’t a succubus a demon who seduces men and feeds on the spirit?”
“But?”
“You are far from temptation…”
The demon girl clenched her fists.
“…No.”
“It’s common to be mistaken, but you humans are wrong to think that succubuses often use s*xual attraction to seduce them. They use pheromones emitted from the body of the succubus, not s*xual attraction.”
“Can’t you feel anything?”
“Of course, since I met my husband, I only use pheromones at night with her husband.”
“Oh, I see.”
“But isn’t this enough? I want to meet my daughter soon.”
“Could you tell me who your daughter is?”
“Find out for yourself.”
I have no intention of telling you.
I let out a small sigh and gestured to him.”
“Go ahead.”
“I can finally meet my daughter after a year!”
“Oh right wait.”
She was about to grind happily, but hesitated.
“What’s your name?”
“What is it? Are you flirting? I’m single-minded with my husband.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. You have to write your name on the documents to enter Hestia Academy.”
“Is that so? Rose, remember that.”
Only then did she open the door and go out.
+++
“Hockey… Are you serious?”
“Yes, really.”
“We’re fine, but… I’m so worried about you.”
“Father, I won’t or won’t send you a letter for five years like my older brother. You don’t have to worry.”
“Yes, you have always been good at hockey. You will be able to do well even in the capital city.”
“Hockey. If you find your brother there, be sure to kick him.”
“Yes. I will catch you and bring you back.”
After saying goodbye to my parents for the last time, I got into the carriage.
Brother… Wait.
