Episode 28
The day has begun.
After roughly tidying up the bed, I took out the slumbering solitude from my bosom and gave it a small amount of water droplets made with the dark attribute.
– … … .
Then Solitude fell asleep.
This is the first thing I do in the morning these days.
After confirming that Solitude had quietly fallen asleep, he stretched out.
‘It’s refreshing today.’
Is it because you suffered yesterday?
After roughly washing her face with the water the innkeeper had brought, she stared into the mirror.
The appearance was also slightly different from before.
‘I’m growing steadily.’
The body, which was no different from that of a child, took shape.
Small, bumpy muscles were tightly packed.
I was so satisfied with it that I let out a smile.
‘Shouldn’t it be okay to just wear the school uniform?’
Yesterday we passed Saitan’s entrance exam.
In the morning, two school uniforms and a paper bag arrived at the inn.
The paper bag had three letters: Saitan.
take
I tore open the top of the enclosed paper bag.
Inside the envelope was a letter.
【 Congratulations on entering Saitan.
For the next three years, the cadets will be trained and will lead the Demon World… … (omitted)
Prior to entering the school, students will receive support for the clothes they will wear in Saitan in the future.
Cadets are prohibited from wearing civilian clothes in Saitan except for unavoidable circumstances, and must only wear designated clothes.
.
.
.
Once again, congratulations on your admission to Saitan. 】
In short, they were given the uniforms to wear.
I wrote a long story about something that didn’t even matter.
‘Let’s see the school uniform.’
First of all, I opened the packaging only for mine and observed the appearance of the clothes.
It looks similar to the modern school uniform, but there was a little different aspect.
‘It’s monotonous, but it looks easy to work with.’
The fabric itself seemed to have taken care of the practical aspect.
A thin blazer, neat white underwear, and black pants.
It was to the point where it didn’t look much different from modern fashion.
‘It’s nice that this isn’t awkward.’
I gave a satisfactory impression and hurriedly wore it.
When I put it on, I felt more alive.
Should I say it feels like going back to my student days?
Hurry up and tell Lene from the next room.
Sigh.
I left my room and stood at the door of the next room to wake Lene.
“May I come in?”
I asked carefully, and the answer came back from within the room.
“huh.”
After permission was granted, I immediately opened the door and handed Renée the Saitan uniform.
Rene tilted her head and opened the packaging of her uniform.
“What’s this.”
“It will be easier for you to understand if you read the letter than if I explain.”
“okay.”
Rene started reading the letter.
And when I finished reading the letter, my eyes turned to the school uniform in my hand.
He asked if he could wear it.
“Try it on.”
Rene picked up the clothes and narrowed her eyes as she tried to take them off.
It was an obvious congratulatory order.
I felt embarrassed, so I left the room for a while.
Had it been like that for 5 minutes?
It looks like I’ve changed all my clothes… … .
“May I come in?”
“huh.”
Lene’s permission fell.
When I opened the door and went in, I saw Renee wearing a school uniform.
My school uniform was black, but Renee’s uniform was navy blue.
The black skirt and black stockings matched very well.
“It is beautiful.”
“… … !”
When I told her my true feelings, Rene trembled.
Then he turned his head to the side.
It seems that he made an effort not to show his expression, but because he had short hair, it was occasionally revealed that his ears were stained red.
‘Am I ashamed?’
I opened my eyes wide at the unexpected appearance.
At first, she was just an object of fear, but now she has reached the point where she looks cute.
“… … until when.”
“yes?”
“How long will I see you?”
Hmmm… … .
I cleared my throat at Renee’s point and turned my gaze to the side.
Then, he hurriedly bowed to Rene and said hello.
“I’ll let you go, so I hope you have a good rest today.”
A long-awaited holiday.
Since I have to attend Saitan’s entrance ceremony tomorrow, I also wanted to have some personal time today.
What should I do to say that I had a good holiday?
If I had to summarize one thing I want to try… … .
I also liked the capital city tour the most.
‘Because I’ve never seen the scenery of the Demon Realm properly before.’
I’ll have to take a look this time around.
All I saw in this world was the Baares family and the territory of the undead.
I couldn’t even see it properly because I was nervous about avoiding Crete’s surveillance.
It is true that the demon world was described in the work, but it was only a description of the demon world that was half-destroyed by humans.
I haven’t written about the Pandemonium before the war yet.
‘Even because it’s the capital, I’m looking forward to it even more.’
I will stay here for 3 years anyway, so the day will come to see it someday.
But you don’t know when that time will come… … .
It’s okay if you don’t have to practice mana management for a day or so.
“I will go out now.”
At the end of my thoughts, I left a short greeting and turned around.

No, I was about to do that, but stopped at Renee’s question.
“Where.”
“It’s my day off, so I’m going to take a tour of the capital.”
“… … .”
In response to my answer, Rene put on an expression of displeasure.
Then he licked his lips and said a word.
“You have work.”
“yes? What job are you talking about… … .”
“escort.”
I was in a dazed shock.
I couldn’t open my mouth for a while, then let out a groan close to a sigh.
“… … ah.”
I was oblivious for a while.
About whose blood relative Rene is.
A blood relative of Crete, the family head of Baares, who served me free of charge for several months.
So, Rene has no choice but to act like a member of a black company.
Did the long-awaited and valuable holiday end while taking care of Renee?
He felt empty and put on a sullen expression.
Then, Lene, who was staring at me, opened her mouth.
“Come with me.”
* * *
We walked around the capital and looked around.
Contrary to what I thought, the capital looked sober.
A war that happened 10 years ago.
In the aftermath of that, wasn’t the Pandemonium preoccupied with restoring the building?
However, the capital city seen now was strangely tidy.
Long western-style houses and lively voices.
It was hard to believe that there had been a war 10 years ago.
As I pondered over the difference, I came up with a plausible reason.
‘It’s possible.’
The reason the capital was far away was simple.
At the time of the war, humans won the fight against the Demon World, but failed to capture the capital.
For the demons, the capital was the last bastion, so they succeeded in defending it.
It was a good thing for me, so I decided not to take it seriously.
Squeeze.
Renee pulled my sleeve while I was lost in thought.
Only then did I bend my head and look at Lene.
“Let’s eat that.”
“That’s what I mean… … Oh, you mean stalls.”
The place Rene pointed out was a street vendor where meat was skewered and grilled.
The combination of colorful vegetables and meat looked quite appetizing.
I approached the street vendor and asked the owner a question.
“What kind of dish is this skewer?”
“It’s called buck seasoned skewers made of buck and vegetables, and it’s our street vendor’s signature dish!”
Buck?
It was the first animal name I had ever heard of.
It must be an ingredient that can only be found in the demon realm.
I was hesitant because I was unfamiliar with the food I only received from Crete, but
… … Looking at Renee, who was tasting her mouth, it seemed that the ingredients were quite tasty.
“I’ll buy two.”
“thank you!”
After paying, the stall owner gave me two skewers.
I gave one of the two buck skewers to Renee.
Well well.
Immediately, Lene started eating the buck skewers.
I also followed Rene and bit off a skewer of buck.
‘… … delicious.’
A light flavor like chicken that spreads in your mouth.
It was a taste that suited me as a modern person.
Among the meals Crete provided, there was food that made me wonder if I could eat this… … .
This is nothing short of luxury.
“Does it fit your mouth?”
“Yeah, it’s delicious.”
We strolled the streets of the capital, chatting.
Renee still had a calm expression, but now I could see that she had a slight smile on her face.
while walking like that.
I saw a huge statue in the middle of the street and stopped.
It seemed to be a statue modeled after a person.
‘Who is it?’
An appearance that seems to have been seen somewhere.
I tilted my head and guessed who resembled the statue.
And I immediately came up with the answer.
She resembles Diana, the woman who will soon ascend the throne.
However, I couldn’t figure out the identity, so I asked René.
“Who is the owner of that statue?”
“Invited Demon King.”
Lene, who glanced at the statue, replied with a tone of asking if she really didn’t know.
His words piqued his curiosity.
Isn’t he the person who established the Demon Realm with the seven demons?
For Diana, it’s like an ancestor.
That time when I was approaching the statue because I wanted to see it up close.
Ahh… … .
The necklace I brought back from Saitan started to react.
A monster that must be sacrificed to find out its true identity.
Together.
‘Why are you reacting now?’
It was when I came up with a question.
Saaa… … .
This time, the statue of the first demon king responded.
Countless particles ejected from the statue formed a line.
The particles began to clump together and landed on the necklace.
I was in a panic, so I didn’t show any reaction.
‘What others saw… … .’
I hurriedly looked back at Lene.
Rene suddenly tilted her head as if asking why.
That meant that I was the only one who saw the phenomenon just now.
If so, did you see something in vain?
‘No, I saw it clearly.’
He immediately shook his head.
Because there was evidence.
Clear evidence that what just happened was not in vain.
‘Because the color has changed.’
The original necklace was white.
But now one of the circles on the necklace has turned gray.
The color of the largest circle did not change, only the small circle changed, but this alone could be called a great harvest.
‘… … There is a high probability that this necklace is related to the first demon king.’
Then, in order to reveal the identity of the necklace, it means that we must investigate things related to the first demon king.
It was an artifact that even Adele avoided answering.
There must have been something.
However, all I found out was that this necklace might have something to do with the first demon king.
Still, the necklace didn’t even show any reaction even when I tried to infuse it with mana.
“What are you doing.”
Rene asked me while I was quietly fixing my necklace.
I quickly put the necklace in my pocket.
René, who looked at me cryptically, gestured to me to follow me.
“Yes, yes, I am going.”
“Come quickly.”
Watching Rene accelerate her pace, I sighed and obediently followed her words.
