She raises her hand as if she has questions about sodium.

Speaking of which, the Demon King can use strategic magic, but can he use strategic magic in the arena?

"Ah."

I noticed it too.I heard that Mao-chan is the only person in the world who can use strategic magic.If you use strategic magic in a narrow place like the arena, if the opponent's defeat is only confirmed, the building will collapse again.

But Hagis denies it.

"The use of strategic magic is prohibited in principle."

"What do the principles mean?

"If the opponent is registering for strategic magic, you can use it."

"I see. Well, isn't there someone like that?"

Sodium has a reassuring face and sits on a chair.But Mae looks at me and tells me the opposite.

"Alisa, was it the Devil who actually entered you?The Demon King can also register Alisa with Strategic Magic.Just check your credentials.Hello, hello. "

"I don't think so, onee-sama."

Sodium nods quickly many times after reacting as if she remembers something.

"Indeed, Tesperk once prevented the Magic King's strategic magic."

"Eh, did that happen!?Proud as a sister, or scared on the contrary? "

May looks at me with a pull.

"Just look at it, just look at it."

"Yes"

May told me to come to the bookshelf again and take out the envelope and check the certificate of participation.

Ah...

The moment I look at the letter, I point my eyes at it and it gets a little stiff.I can see my optimistic expression solidifying all at once, without looking in the mirror.

"What did it say?

When May asks worriedly, I turn around and nod.I think I was bluishing and sweating cold.

The certificate did say "strategic magic OK".

"I'm not surprised."

May puts her arms together and leans on the chair.

"Eh, eh, surprise me a bit, onee-sama, eh, does this mean Ma-chan is going to use strategic magic on me?What do I do, Natori-chan!!

"There's nothing you can do, you'll have prevented strategic magic once."

Sodium blows.Hagis listens and leaves the table.

"Has Tesperk ever prevented my sister's strategic magic!?

"Oh, just once."

When Natori nodded, Hagis looked at me with an envy of "rarity".It hurts.

"Ugh, can I go home alive?"

I rinse my soda body loosely with tearful eyes.

"No matter how much the demon King dies, he will help us."

"Yes, calm down.In general, Alisa was appointed minister.If Alisa dies, it will be a loss to this country.The Demon King must have understood that.Don't worry, I won't die. "

Natori and May tell me, but I lie anxious.

"That's what they said..."

Ha...

Sodium sighs.

"I'll teach you a strategy.Strategies and magic are long chants.In the meantime, do something about it. "

"Ugh, so, can you do it?"

I'll hug Natori in the arm.

Hey, get away from me.

Soso pulls his arm, so I finally get away and sit on my chair.roll your head over the table.

Can I work hard in this tournament?I'm full of anxiety.

◆ ◆ ◆

A few days later. At dinner, Ma-chan waves a topic to me.

It's finally the tournament.

"Ugh, I tried not to think about it..."

I eat the steak with shavings.

"Don't say that."

Mao-chan chuckles.It looks like a blackish laugh, whether it's heartless, usual naughty, or thinking something bad.

"Mao-chan, are you using strategic magic on me?

Let me ask you something straight.Mao-chan nodded with a laugh.

"Of course. You have so much power."

"Mmm... I've bought too much."

"Rather, if we don't stop the concubine from attacking, that's it."

Say that and put the steak cut with a knife in your mouth with a fork.Mmm.

"By the way, I have a favor to ask you.I need you to help me run the duel.What, just a little magic tomorrow evening. "

"I'm so worried about strategic magic..."

Tomorrow, my concubine will come with me.

"I'll help you too!

I reply with a cheerful smile with my spine stretched out.

"... it's easy to understand, you..."

Mao-chan laughs in amazement.

◆ ◆ ◆

It's a duel tournament from the next day.

Today's Natori takes a break from work and brings a wizard dragon to our room, which is about three years old and is 8 to 90 centimeters tall.It is high enough to reach the waist of sodium.It seems to be starting to grow, and the body was originally dark green mixed with gray, but it is gradually becoming red.Is this a red dragon, the kind that spits out a flame bracelet?

"Wow, cute! What's your name?

I didn't think I was sitting in a chair at the table, and looked at the head of that dragon as it approached me.Ugh, so cute.

"What's your name?" No, you didn't.

"Yeah, well, pets aren't used to giving names to magicians."

I can't help nodding.Users do not usually have names and are often referred to as race names.Natori used to call this a "dragon."

"But how inconvenient it would be to call it a dragon in the land of the demons."

That's what Natori said, picking up the dragon on my way.The dragon licks the soda's cheeks.

It tickles.

Ehehe, you're completely attached to Natori.

Um, I kept it in the breeding space inside the Demon King Castle, but I saw it every day to take care of it.

Sodium wipes the head and back of the dragon.

"Cute, let me touch you."

Natori handed the dragon over to Radica because Radica said so.Radica gently strokes around like a pet.

Speaking of which, do demons have demons too?

I ask Natori.Even in the Duel Games, it seems that the rules for the use of demons themselves as athletes have been new since the Games, but it seems that the rules for the use of demons to come together have been in place for a long time.In fact, there is a dedicated breeding space for magicians in the Demon King Castle.In the first place, the Demon Clan summons the Demon itself, and summons its own allies.It's like people summoning people.

"Once upon a time, there were people who summoned for war, but now there are no such demons.There was nothing in this castle but a soda dragon.It was closed for about a hundred years until the dragon arrived. "

"Wow, that was a long time ago."

On the other hand, Radica was holding the dragon, but when she noticed that the green chameleon on her shoulder was staring at the dragon, she returned the dragon to her sodium and now held the chameleon on her shoulder.

"Relationship with the wizard is important."

Yes, the radicals are crushing.

"Ha, what kind of nerve can you get along with a demon tribe when it comes to using demons?"

May is sitting on the bed and looking at us from afar.

Speaking of which, Mei was a senior attending the same magic school as me, but I never brought a magician or talked about a magician.

Onee-sama didn't summon the Magus?I may not have seen it. "

"I summoned you.I let him go as soon as I graduated. "

Ah...

Speaking of which, May was not good at such things.I was convinced.
