That's why Hagis and Natori started confronting each other on the spot.

"You don't want a magic showdown indoors, do you?Isn't there a decent place?

When May waves, Hagis nods.

"This Demon King Castle has an arena.I want you to fight there. "

"... now?Natori has work to do now. "

"I don't want to compete after work."

"Okay."

That was the exchange, and the match was kept until the afternoon.

But Hagis didn't forget to point at me and nail me.

"Alisa shouldn't be present.If Nat loses in seconds, don't let Alisa fight. "

"Sodium can lose in seconds!On the contrary, I will defeat you immediately. "

"If you can do it, try it."

"Natori, you're dealing with a child..."

May looks at sodium with her white eyes.I know how May feels.Hagis looks like this and is about 50 years old.Demons live a long life, but how strong are demon children actually?

Language schools didn't have a neat schedule, homework, or tests like Estee Magic School, but they felt loose.I got a few pieces of paper that looked like I printed out a part of a book, and I was studying with them.

"This pronunciation sticks the tip of your tongue to the top."

"It's hard because it's my first time."

"There's a vowel called Wi... uh, Kauai, Gawi, Dewi..."

Mei and Radica were trying and making mistakes, while other students were teaching each other, studying, and doing things loosely.

About three to four hours after lunch, the language school was over, and we passed the market on our way back to Demon King Castle.

"Whoa!

I found another store.

"What's wrong?

As always, the Demons are still scared and when May asks, I point to the shop.

"Look, isn't that the earring shop?I want to buy you something. "

"Well, there's no way a king in one country can sell cheap goods on the market."

"But wouldn't it be nice if it suited Ma-chan?

"Just for a moment.I'm also interested in fashion. "

That's what May said, so we'll go into the store.

Many of the earrings in the shop are decorated narrowly on a grid display rack (a grid-like plate of elongated metal) hanging on the wall.Blue earrings, red gemstone shining earrings.There are also dokuro earrings that seem to be popular among demons.

"They're all beautiful."

That's what I'm saying, I'm looking at the earrings from one end...

"No, aren't earrings usually scary?

May, who just said, "I'm interested in fashion," suddenly starts saying that.

"Eh, what are you afraid of?

"Because earrings make holes in your ears, right?It's going to hurt so much. "

"It only hurts once."

That's what I'm going to say and start looking for the earrings again, but then I hear the sound of the radicals coming from behind.

"Well, if you're going to give it to the Devil, then this is better, right?

That's what Radica brought me is a bracelet with small, shiny jewel-like stones tied together in several beads.

"Wow, it's beautiful."

I look at it with my hands.It certainly doesn't seem necessary to puncture your ears with this.Mao-chan doesn't seem to hate that kind of thing.

"It's cheap, but it looks very luxurious.I don't think the Demon King would say no. "

Radica adds, but I was watching as I licked the bracelet, blinking my eyes and approaching Radica.

"Hey, do you have another one like this?Me and my ma-chan!Ehehe "

"... I think that would be even more rejected."

Radica stunned and removed the other bracelet from the wall and gave it to me.

"Amazing, beautiful, cool!I'll give it to you now!It's good, right? It's good, right?

"It's fine, but if the demon king gets angry, Alisa will be responsible."

Mae turns away and says, "But the bracelet doesn't hurt, unlike the earrings," and goes to look at the bracelet.

"What, a match with Hagis?

Soto tells me about this morning when Mao-chan is having a chat with the minister after finishing her work in the Great Hall of Demon King Castle.

Mao-chan covers her forehead with one hand.

"Hagis, do something extra."

"Was it bad?

"No, you can take it, but you've taught Hagis not to sell fights to people you've never met.I'm sorry about the lack of education for concubines.I'll tell Hagis later. "

"Natori's a good rider, so it's okay."

Really...

After Natori and Mao-chan had finished talking, another minister said:

Speaking of magic duels, it's about time for that.

Ah, duel tournament...

"What is a duel?

When Natori asks, his neighbor explains to Natori.

"This tournament is a duel between the demons.There are individual and team matches, magic and swordsmanship, and it is a three-month event that aims to win by defeating the opponent in any way.It started as a distress for the demons who could no longer fight humans under the current demon king, but recently humans have also participated. "

"That's enough."

After that, I was excited about the duel between my minister and Mao-chan.Most ministers are demonic, and some are bloodthirsty, so it's easy to get excited about stories like this.

In addition to individual and team fights, there seems to be a similar form of war in which a platoon of 100 fights with each other, and it seems that killing the opponent is not guilty.It's an amazing tournament.

"Well, I'm going to ask you to join me in the recent exile."

Mao-chan puts her cheeks on her elbows while sticking to her cheeks.

"Does that include that Tesperk?

When General Matthew asks, Ma-chan nods.

"General Matthew and Cerberus may know, but the woman is next to her concubine.If you succeed, you are stronger than your concubine.I don't want to be killed at all. "

"Isn't it too much to buy next to the Demon King?

It was Cerberus who provoked Ma-chan that way.

"Huh?"

"I have served this country from the reign of my ancestors and have served the Devil for centuries.I can't afford to lose to a kid like that!I am the next strongest Demon King!

Looking at Cerberus screaming with his hands on his chest, Ma-chan turned her eyes and thought before answering.

"Then prove it.You were a referee at the last tournament.Let someone else do it. "

Listening to that, the ministers start screaming.

"What's going on?

Natori's ears looked at what was going on around her, and the voices of the ministers came in.

"That Cerberus is going to play!?

"How long has it been?

This tournament looks rough...

Whether you listen to those stories or not, Ma-chan keeps putting her feet together.

"This is a good opportunity. This time, let's give the prize money not only from the interest of the fund, but also from the national budget, and recruit challengers from abroad.I'll join my concubine. "

The whole hall is bursting like an explosion.

"What, that's it!?The Demon King has been solemnly asked to participate because he is too strong.The exhibition match with the winner was also one of the prizes, why now?

Ma-chan replied to Kerberos's hasty question.

"We don't have time.The Kingdom of Wistaria is arming itself to fight us.The goal is to attract talented people from all over the world. "
