Chapter 175: Demon King and Calamity

Chapter 175 Demon King and Calamity

Shortly after the explosion, Haruna, Chinatsu, Deris, and Nell gathered after the tour. Judging from the sound of the explosion, Deris seemed to be half killed. However, he was surprisingly unharmed. On the contrary, Nell is in a good mood with a big smile on her face. Looking at that smile, Chinatsu drew back instead. Goddess Chinatsu drew back frequently today.

?Well, Haru. Sorry, but I’ll be away for a while from tomorrow. I’ll leave the house to you.?

?I’m sorry, Chinatsu. I also will be away for a while from tomorrow, so I’ll leave things to you in the meantime.?

??……Eh???

Unexpected words came from their masters. Haruna and Chinatsu look at each other faces and say it once again.

??Eh???

The point is that they don’t understand the situation.

?We’ve predicted that reaction. We are really sorry for being so abrupt, but we’ve got a bit of a tight schedule.?

?I understand that you’re going to be away, but what happened??

?Wee, you know, that thing is going to take longer than I thought.?

??That thing???

When Haruna and Chinatsu asked again, Deris looked down a little shyly and muttered.

?… The date with Nell has been upgraded to a honeymoon.?

?Yes. Something like that.?

??………??

They wanted to retort, but the atmosphere didn’t allow that. There was an overwhelming pressure that forcibly made them accept it. However, Chinatsu couldn’t back down there. She mustered up her courage and put her question into words.

?U-Um, isn’t it bad if you leave Adelheit at this time? I mean, there’s only one week left until the day of hero selection to participate in the Demon King subjugation. Deris-san, you said that you have negotiated with Mage Prime Minister Joseph the other day, but if you are away from here, isn’t that the same as showing the enemy a chance??

?Yes, as expected of Chinatsu. Good job for thinking it through! I’ll praise you! *Pats*?

?T-Thank you very much…??

Chinatsu is trembling in a different meaning at Nell who’s still in a good mood even after hearing Chinatsu’s question.

?Yeah, that’s a reasonable opinion. Haru, did you think about it properly??

?Me? Well, if something happens, I’m just going to use force, I guess? Something like that…?

?Kukuku, it’s simple and clear. But, that’s also kind of the right answer.?

?Eh, is that okay!??

?I mean, do you even aware of how strong you are? You two are level 6, if you are monsters, you two are Demon Kings, you know? In this world, you are a calamity class!?

?Demon King and calamity!?

?You mustn’t be happy with that kind of praise, Haruna!?

Deris explains. Even if Joseph breaks his promise, leaving aside Nell, there’s no one who can go against Haruna and Chinatsu in Adelheit. Moreover, another level 6 person, Touko, is an ally. In this situation, trying to oppose will only bring demerits.

?Moreover, we have his precious granddaughter, Weerel, as a host?? I mean, as a friend of Haru and Chinatsu. I’m sure he won’t try to do something bad.?

?Were you trying to say hostage just now??

?No, no. We humans are all friends. Love and peace.?

Deris, who doesn’t even try to hide the fact that he’s not thinking like that at all, looks very fishy. Still, his confidence seems to be guaranteed, so Chinatsu judged that there’s nothing to worry about.

?Well, the more deterrents the better, I guess. Chinatsu, I’ll appoint you as the vice leader of the Magic Knight Order, which has been vacant for a long time. If the need arises, you can mobilize all the knights under your command. You see, there will be no one stupid enough to go against the top of the military, right??

?V-Vice leader… Is it okay to appoint me so lightly??

?It’s okay, I’ll force it. It’s just a little earlier.?

?You are the strongest in the history of the academy, and even have the title of the winner of the graduation festival. Even Weerel will inherit the position of Magic Prime Minister, so no one can complain.?

If it’s Chinatsu, the trust of the members is strong, so there’s no need to worry about it. Drastic steps are progressing before she knows it and there’s no way to stop it. Thus, Chinatsu acquired the position of vice commander and a new source of trouble.

?I’ll do my best, but… don’t blame me if something really happens, okay??

?Don’t worry. At that time, Haru will help you.?

?Yes! I will help you, Chinatsu-chan!?

?Thank you. But Haruna, you accepted it too easily…?

?Ehehe.?

In addition to the consultation office, Chinatsu’s work increased as a vice leader. For the time being, she shakes her head while pressing her temple.

?Now, we are going to talk about something important. I and Nell will leave early tomorrow morning. Nell will hand over the command of the Knight Order to Chinatsu today. As for me, I’ll have Haru choose the skills and then make the menu for her training. I think we’ll be back just in time for the hero selection.?

?That’s a whole week.?

?Ah, during this time, Lily will be away too.?

?Lily-senpai too??

?Yeah, she also has her own minor business. Well, don’t worry about her. She didn’t do any maid-like job in the first place, so just think that a good-for-nothing freeloader is gone from home.?

??Yes!??

At this time only, they replied without hesitation at all.

?Then, Chinatsu, let’s go to the headquarters. Well, if there’s something you don’t understand, Daganov will do something about it, so just take it easy. I’m usually away on expeditions, so my seat is often vacant.?

?Um, Shish?. What about my training during this period??

?Just work normally as a knight and train with Haruna when you get back. If you have the chance, you can involve that Touko girl. You tend to get stronger the more trouble you go through after all.?

?Ehh……?

Nell and Chinatsu went to the headquarters while talking so. Deris and Haruna saw off their backs until they confirmed that they disappeared completely. Then, Haruna began to ask Deris curiously.

?By the way, Shish?, what happened with the explosion just now??

?Well, there was a slight misunderstanding. I was almost turned into charcoal, but I managed to escape the danger by talking about our honeymoon. The misunderstanding was resolved and she was in a good mood afterward.?

?Still, I think it’s better not to be reckless during the trip. You will be sent off if you accumulated yellow cards, you know??

?I-I’ll handle it carefully…?

Thus, Deris, Nell, and the good-for-nothing freeloader decided to leave Adelheit. It’s the opening of the unending small troubles for one week such as, Haruna got lost in the mansion, Touko’s invasion to the mansion for no real reason, and the public who heard about Chinatsu’s consultation also came to her. But, whether it will be depicted or not is another story.

???? The 24th day of training is over.
