Shinka no Mi

Chapter 121

We managed to convince Ranze-san to allow Louise to accompany me, but I came here using Treasure Box’s transition magic, so on the way back, I used my transition magic to return to Barbador Magic Academy .

The destination of the transfer is the arena where the simulated battle was once held, and there was no one around .

Both Louise and Luthia are looking at the scenery around them .

“Amazing…… Using transition magic on three people at the same time that consumes a lot of magic power on one person, moreover, isn’t it inherently difficult to travel for a considerable distance?”

“Un . I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it doesn’t change the fact that it consumes a lot of magic power . But since Seiichi doesn’t seem to run out of magic, it’s really amazing . ”

For some reason, they turned their sparkling eyes on me . It’s itchy .

“…… Speaking of which, why did Luthia think I was amazing? Have you ever seen my true strength?”

I suddenly thought that, I wondered why Luthia flattered me there .

Surely, I was the one who solved Luthia’s 『Curse』, but as the grey-haired handsome demon guy also said, i don’t look strong in terms of combat power or ability .

Louise knew because she actually fought me first……

In response to my doubts, Luthia tilted her head for some reason .

“? I, Did I say something strange? I just said it because I felt that Seiichi was amazing . There’s no particular reason . ”

“Hmm mystery”

What, i felt amazing . Is such an aura coming out from me? I can’t see it .

“Well, no . Anyway, it looks like everyone is in my class, so let’s move . ”

I took them to the classroom .

◆◇◆

“―――― And that’s why Louise the 【Sword Knight】 is here from the Kingdom of Welmburg, and Luthia, who’s current position is the Demon King . ”

“So, that’s why!? Or rather, this isn’t the second time we had this exchange!?”

When I arrive at the classroom, and as soon as I went inside with Louise and other, I stood on the platform and told them so .

After that, Helen gave a huge tsukkomi to this appropriate explanation .

Saria and Al are also surprised to see Louise here, and opened their eyes wide .

“That’s!? Louise-san!? Why are you here?”

“No, Louise-san, too, but who’s the woman next to her? You said that her current position is the Demon King …… “

“Hhmm…… It’s a long time to explain ……”

But I have to explain it, I told everyone including the fact that I had an encounter against the Demon God’s cult from the place where I was forcibly taken by Treasure Box .

Helen, who finished listening to my explanation, held her head down, and was pulling her cheeks .

“Yo . you…… how much more insane are you going to be… . . ”

“I don’t like it either . ”

“Uhm, Seiichi-sensei . If I listened correctly to the story that you’ve just said now, does that mean that both of them will spend time here as well?”

Beatrice-sensei asks me so .

“That’s right . Although I saved her as a result, but Luthia was still targeted by the Demon God’s cult, and the Demon guys said that it is safest for her to be with me …… . ”

“Um~, what about the demons~ …… No matter how I think about it, I’m not sure that the General Class of the Demon Army would say that~ …… What about the people who said that Seiichi-sensei is the safest place?”

“Rachel, it’s useless to say anything to that teacher . After all, that woman named Louise, in addition to being one of the strongest knights of the Kingdom of Welmburg, the 【Sword Knight】, didn’t she just said that she’s Seiichi-sensei’s disciple . It’s more ridiculous to deal with him properly . ”

“I can’t even say any words to return back, but please be a little gentler!?”

When it’s analyzed objectively just like this, it makes my extraordinary insaneness stands out!

“That’s my Aniki*! You have more and more women!” (TN: Brother)

“Seiichi-sensei, I wonder if you can teach me the method on how to land a girl!?”

“That purity hurts me”

In front of Agnos and Flora’s sparkling eyes, I got more mentally damaged .

“U, Uuuuhhh! Well, for the time being, Luthia is here for me to protect, and Louise has followed me to retrain once again . And I’m sorry about saying this right away, but we can’t have lessons for a little while . ”

“Eh?”

“Ah, that’s right . ”

Agnos and the others haven’t heard it, but Beatrice-san nodded as I started speaking already .

“I’ve been asked directly by Barnabas-san, the head of the school . Apparently, in the forest near where the man from the Demon God’s Cult was lurking, a dungeon seems to have appeared . To investigate it, I’m thinking of going to the dungeon with Louise, Luthia, and then Saria, Al, Rurune, and Olga-chan . These members originally worked with me as an adventurer . But the fact that it’s dangerous for Agnos and the others, I’ll make you stand by this time . ”

“Then, while aniki is in the dungeon, our class will be held by Beatrice-neesan*?” (TN: Sister)

“Just like that . ”

“But I can’t teach practical lessons like Seiichi-sensei, so it’s going to be all lectures . ”

“Noooooooooooooooooo!”

Agnos collapsed on the spot . Umu, do your best .

“I don’t think I’ll need to tell you guys anymore, but …… Study hard while I’m away!”

『Yes』

“I don’t waaaaaaannnaaa!”

Everyone answered energetically, other than Agnos .

◆◇◆

“This is the dungeon … . . ”

“Wah! The entrance is like this!”

I went ahead on the premise that Saria and the others will also go to the dungeon without confirming them, but Saria and the others accepted it without any worries .

And now, it’s definitely the entrance to the dungeon in front of us! It’s kind of a cave .

That’s, the place where Zeanos stayed in the 【Forest of Endless Love and Sorrow】 was also a cave of this sort .

Nevertheless, what was hiding in the depths of such a forest .

There’s no more, but when I interrogated that guy and examined this place, it seems that the surroundings here were filled with corpses of monsters that were killed miserably .

As a result, it looks like the ecosystem here has collapsed and a dungeon with ferocious monsters has appeared .

By the way, this actual dungeon will be my third time, but I’m still nervous because it’s only my second time to enter from the entrance .

“Louise-san! Luthia-san! Nice to meet you!”

“Yes, Saria-san . Nice to see you too . ”

“Nice to meet you . …… you’re the same as Seiichi, you seemed a little strange . ”

“Is that so? But, I wished I was the same as Seiichi!” (TN: To become human just like him)

Saria was as energetic as ever, and soon she was able quickly get along with Louise and Luthia .

Louise then turns her eyes to Olga-chan, who stands quietly .

“Olga . It’s been a while . ”

“……Nn . It’s been a while since I’ve been with Louise-neechan too . ”

“How are you doing?”

“……Nn . Excellent*!” (TN: Bacchi gu = kinda like how a kid says ‘good’ or ‘just right’)

I don’t know where she learned those words, but Olga-chan made a thumbs up with Louise .

“Black cat beast man …… She’s rare, too . ”

Luthia, who was watching the exchange between Louise and Olga-chan, opens her eyes a little .

“Isn’t a black cat beast man rare?”

“……Yes . However, even though she’s rare …… she’s a target of persecution ……”

“Ah……”

Olga-chan was abandoned by her parents just because she was a black cat beast man, and was raised as an assassin .

……Really, that’s stupid

Reluctantly, Luthia turned her eyes to Rurune and Al .

“…… And then, looking closely, that woman also has the same presence as Saria-san and Seiichi . It’s different, but this woman seems to be blessed by someone . ” (TN: The first sentence is referring to Rurune and the second one is to Altria)

“Mu? Tha, that’s right…… the same with my lord……” (Rurune)

“Blessing? I, I wonder if someone would ever bless me ……?” (Altria)

Aside from Rurune, Al was twisting her neck .

Well, Al’s curse was reversed using the ring that came from Treasure Box, and it must have blessing written in the ring’s description .

Even so, Luthia seems to be able to detect a kind of presence and atmosphere that I or the others don’t understand .

That’s because she realized that not only Saria but also Rurune had the effect of the 『Fruit of Evolution』 .

After seeing us all, Luthia turned her eyes to the dungeon again .

“…… This dungeon has a… . . very…… very sad presence……”

“Sad presence?”

“Un, I don’t know why it has such a sad presence ……”

It only looks like a normal cave to me, but its air seems different to Luthia after all .

“…… Well, we won’t know even if we think about it, so shall we go now?”

When everyone nodded strongly to my words, we set foot into the dungeon .
