Helper teacher of magic girls' school

Episode 874: gossip, Edmond and the Devil.

Time goes back a little.

It was just before summer, in mid-June...

Another two weeks had passed concerning the escort dedicated to Edmond Dumaire, Grand Duke of Bertrand, who had been commanded by the Lord Ruh, the Great Demon Andras, the Great Uncle of Fran.

When Lu ordered an escort to Andras, before Edmond appeared Andras, who had turned into a tough human warrior.

For the first time in his life, Edmond saw a demon who obeyed humans, even when he spoke out of curiosity to Andras, was completely ignored.

* See story 397

From Edmond's point of view, the first impression of the humanized demon Andrus was how bigoted and oligarchy the big man was.

Well, Edmond himself is considered an extremely bigoted old man by many, but no one says that straight because he is royal.

If I were here, it would be about Lu...

Andras, who was ordered by that Lou to escort Edmond, disappeared into the other world.

And after that they were not on the table, and kept Edmond from the shadows.

Even with Andras on the escort, Edmond's life is ostensibly no different than it has been before.

Previously, Edmond's escort was jointly led by Adventurer Guild Master Clive Barberney and his fierce men, as well as a selection of elites from the Bertrand Knights below Captain Nathan Alberik.

But they're human.

I haven't been able to escort you in 24 hours.

I'm tired, and I get some sleep.

There are mental and physical limitations.

I couldn't say I could protect Edmond perfectly, including in situations of force majeure.

Evidence of this is that Edmond, who was targeted by assassins who attacked him with his own hands, was often in crisis.

Domestic and international political enemies, reluctant resentment, unidentified mysterious outsiders...

Various enemies attacked Edmond directly or indirectly, no matter what the time, and sometimes it was just a single hair.

But because Andras is protecting Edmond day and night from such enemies, there have been no such incidents lately.

On the contrary, he stopped feeling any malice or even killing that Edmond had occasionally felt.

Edmond, curious, once again looked into what kind of demon Andras was.

There were a number of books and ancient documents about the devil in the study dedicated to Edmont at the Mansion in the Dumair main house.

Andras' legend is scattered across those materials.

Supposed to be one pillar of the 72 pillars of Louis Salomon, Andras is the Marquis of the Underworld, who leads 30 legions of demons.

According to the description of a book, while the torso is the figure of a noble heavenly apostle, the head is the demon of the frightening "Fukuru" or raven "Tease".

Yet another book wrote that he was a vicious demon who appeared with a sword waved across a successful black wolf and emitting a dazzling glow.

The character was extremely brutal, so all the books matched.

He was like a demon so low in loyalty that he scattered the seeds of discord upon man, and if he could summon him, he would not listen to orders at all and kill neither the summoner.

Edmond could not hide his surprise at Lew, who would follow such an outrageous demon as a faithful subordinate.

So Edmond's life so far is the main business? colored by exploration and battle to the unknown, more than by the political "Festival of

Edmond, a biological adventurer, gradually became interested in Andras because of his curiosity.

One day, Edmond never spoke to Andras again.

He thought that he would always be there, and he spoke from Edmond to a space where there was nothing.

Naturally, there has been no reply.

Because if you try Andras, you will just keep your mouth shut and carry out Lew's orders without any extra conversation with Edmond.

In the first place Andras is the type of demon who can attack unilaterally, when it comes to either offense.

It was incomprehensible to Andras why Lu had ordered the protection of such an old man.

The other demons say they work in the right place.

There was such dissatisfaction, but the work commanded by the Lord was work.

Andras was going to split it up and do it nicely.

Meanwhile, Edmond didn't give up talking to Andras.

The next day, we talked again.

Naturally, there has been no reply.

But Edmond didn't give up at all.

We talked to each other in a space where there was nothing, whether it was a day of guts or a day of coming.

And one day that day lasted a month...

"It's annoying! Kid!"

At last the low voice of Doss echoed Edmond's study.

"Oh!"

My anger flies to Edmond, who delights unexpectedly.

"Oh, no, you little brat! Come on, it's depressing."

Dripping Kid!!

That was a word that old Edmond would have said a long time ago.

Indeed, the opponent is a great devil who lives for a long time.

Compared to such a demon, Edmond, a human being who has only lived for more than 80 years, is a drooling boy.

Edmond trembled uncommonly.

Apparently, the devil's anger is capable of instinctively terrorizing humans.

But now Edmond was beating curiosity better than fear.

"Ha ha! Devil, have you finally replied!

Andras' anger is intense against Edmond, who fulfilled his petition.

"I hate perseverance. Kids like you have been ordered by Master Lew to protect them."

"Oh well... because it's Luu's order... Speaking of which, I wonder how he's doing by now..."

Edmon's eyes became distant when he heard Lu's name.

More than his real grandson's mercy was included in his eyes.

But Andras's reply is absurd.

"I don't know..."

Edmond felt his opponent's dissatisfaction with the slightly obstinate voice of the devil.

"... well... I'm sorry. I see! You're unhappy that you can't serve Lu as he thinks you can to protect him."

…………

Andras does not answer Edmond's question.

There was no way I could answer that.

Edmond is determined.

Faithful to Lou, I'm trying to get this demon back.

"Enough is enough! Non forgives. Stop guarding the Noun and go back to the King's capital."

This is the moment Edmond tells us he will relieve the escort of his duties.

"Fool!

The study trembles in horror at the wrath of the Great Devil.

Still, they kept their voices from leaking outside that family and servants didn't fly in.

To my surprise, Andras threw up...

"If I leave here and you die... Master Lew will grieve! Francisca, your wives grieve!

"Oh, oh, oh..."

"Sowell of Aarv, the parent of the upbringing, is dead, and Master Lu thinks of you as his grandfather when he newly meets you. I can't let that happen to you!

The feeling of Luu, who thinks of himself like a flesh parent, is also conveyed to the devil!

That's what I thought. Edmond had his chest full.

Again, Andras' voice is uttered out of space.

"... talk to me loudly every day, every day... Kid! You seem like a free man.... If Master Lew thinks of you like a flesh parent, he can't help it. It's a hassle, but I'll deal with them too."

Oh, my God!

Andras' tone had changed subtly.

As I spoke, I guess I felt empathy for Edmond's feelings about Lu.

"Oh!"

They told me they were going to do it, and Edmond gave a joyous voice.

But Andras admonishes you not to get on with it.

"But if you get on the diagram, you're not the enemy! You have to have three conversations a day."

"Okay! Ok!"

"One reply, drooling boy!

"Copy that!"

Edmond, scolded by the Great Devil, was scratching his head and laughing like a child.
