The Demon King Of The Frontier Life, Reincarnated To Become The Strongest Mage ~The Former Demon King Who Grows Up While Being Loved Wants To Know The Human~

"There you go. This is the special" Immortality (Immortal) ".

I put a hot tub on the table in the living room.

Around the table, Martha and Remy and Colette-Memen sit.

Colette is wearing everyday clothes that I bought for Remy.

As soon as she brought her to the dorm, Martha changed her clothes.

My hair has been cured, and now it looks refreshed.

Colette herself looks like she can't swallow the situation or something.

"... Um, Yuki-Grossalia... no, Master."

"I didn't decide to become an apprentice yet.What's the matter with you?

"'Immortality (Immortal) is soggy'... what's in it?

"A little vegetables, eggs, corn and milk.It also contains a little meat. "

"Doesn't it contain potions for longer life...?

"I don't like playing with food."

"Well, then, why do you say 'immortal soot'...?

"There is a desire for those who eat to become immortal and literally live long enough to die."

"Are you being challenged to immortality!?

"I don't have any success stories yet."

"Immortality" is "Feira Village", which was made for children's lunch.

It has a good reputation because it quickly builds up and is nutritious.

People who worked near the old castle usually came to eat.A good adult. She said, "I miss the taste of childhood."

Well, in anticipation of that, I always made extra.

"It's just a lucky thing.It's not magical. "

I told you.

I don't use honorific language because Colette herself said, "Please speak normally because you will be an apprentice."

If that's okay with me, I don't mind.

"So, 'if you eat it, you'll be immortal.Take responsibility!Don't complain. "

"Do you have someone to tell you?

"I'm here.Sometimes. "

He's playing a princess in the outhouse right now.

"... I won't complain about what Master makes for me."

I see. Now, eat before it gets cold. "

"... you can't reveal the secret of magic to someone who's just become an apprentice..."

"It's okay. If you don't eat soon, it'll get cold."

"Yes, yes."

Colette uses a spoon to rub 'Immortality (Immortal) Suddenly' into her mouth.

Hafufufu, and exhale, and then,

─ ─

I opened my eyes in surprise.

Then, I started eating "Immortality (Immortality) Suddenly" obsessively.

Very well. It's full of good food.

After all, this is not what children do.

"... that's good."

Martha looked at Colette reassuringly.

When I changed my clothes earlier, Martha noticed that Colette was losing weight.

She said she probably didn't eat much ─ ─ and she was worried.

But the House of Menmen is the Marquis.

Does it ever happen that it doesn't feed children badly?

And... why did Ezetta-Memen leave Colette with me?

I don't know. Too little information so far.

That's why I decided to feed him.

"I have a refill, so please don't hesitate to eat it."

When I asked, Colette nodded little after hesitating for a while.

Martha sees it and adds' Immortal Soot 'to her vessel.

"Eat it.Will you listen to me?

"... (Kokuri)"

"Dear Ethetta... what Colette's sister told me was to take you as a guard for the search for the fifth basement of Elysion.But when I checked with Dr. Demetrius, he told me to make you an apprentice.Can we get this far?

"(Kokoku)"

"I also heard about the rules of my mentor in the Magic Guild.As for me, I don't mind taking you on a quest for the fifth basement, or temporarily becoming an apprentice.But I have questions.Why did your sister, Ethetta, leave you with me?Me and your sister should have never met. "

"... that's right..."

Colette bends her neck to explore her memory.

"But my sister said.Yuki-Grossalia says she can be trusted. "

"Why?"

"Even though it's still a short time since you joined the Magic Guild, you've achieved a lot.And I'm not proud of it at all.He didn't bully other magicians, but played a pale role.I can trust that kind of person. "

"Ethetta, did you do that?

"Yes, the magician has few people who are proud of his achievements, but he doesn't feel that desire from his master."

No, I usually have a desire.

It's just that it's different from a normal magician.

My goal is to raise the title of the house with merit.

Marrying Iris legally and then disappearing from the human world.

Titles and accomplishments are just a means to me and Iris.

It's not like I'm being brazen or proud.

That's why I'm working indifferently.

"As you know, the Menmen are a keen Cain."

Colette saw me with an empty vessel.

"I have no choice but to leave me with the magician of Zamerism."

"Who keeps it in the Cain School?

"... my father disagreed.Leaving a poor magician like me with His Highness Cain's associates... would be a disgrace to the house.And my sister said, "Colette should be with someone unrelated to the Cain school."

"Is that why you left it with me?

"Yes, and I have a message from my sister."

Let me hear it.

"I'll tell you, 'The only way to keep Colette is to bring Yuki-Grossalia into the Cain school.If Yuki were to become Cain, it would inevitably be like Iris had joined the faction.In other words, think of Colette as a hostage that House Menmen will leave with you.My father, the Marquis, is convinced of this. "

"... I'm really not convinced."

"Why?"

"Even if you take me in, it's impossible to make Iris a 'Cain'.The hostages are too obvious in the first place.I could refuse. "

Perhaps Colette spoke to convince the Menmen and the 'Cain'.

Eazetta-Memen should have a different purpose.That's...

"Can I ask you one more question?

"Yes, yes."

"What does Ezetta look like to Colette?

"... my sister is the first-born son of the Marquis of Menmen and an excellent magician."

"As a family?

"... very kind person"

Colette leaned and hesitated.

"... even though it's my father's heart... it's my sister who thinks about me."

"Ask me one more thing. Is Colette the legitimate son of the Marquis?Or a bastard?

"... I am a child of Father's side room.So..... "

"Didn't you get any good treatment?

"The Marquises of Menmen are famous!

Colette screamed.

"That famous house, even though it's a side room, doesn't do anything terrible to its children!

"Didn't you just say 'storage'?

"That's... because I was tired... and I did something weird..."

"Okay. Last question."

I'll look Colette in the eye and tell him.

"Does Colette know I'm a child of the Earl of Glossary's side room?

"... I know."

I see.

Martha and I looked at each other.

Now I know about it.

Colette is a child of the Marquis de Menmen's side room.

And I wasn't treated very well.It can be seen by looking at a thin body.

Didn't eat enough, did you?It's probably true that I was in a storage facility.

Is this how you treat bastards of nobility?

My father was a really good man.

Georg's father treated me and my brother Zeros and Loomia equally until Kahler, the tutor, arrived.Even after Kahel arrived, he prepared for me to leave.

And Colette wasn't.

It is dangerous to decide, but it is likely that he was not treated badly.

This is also evident from Colette's presence at the Marquis.

Colette is also a sorcerer in the Magic Guild.I should have been able to get out of the house and rent a dormitory.

If you live in a dormitory, you can live normally, and you will be paid for food.

And yet... it's possible that the Marquis did not intend to do so.Colette can't tell the truth about the Marquis.

Then I can see why Eazetta-Memen left Colette with me.

Like Colette, if I were a bastard, I might have thought I'd protect my sister.

In other words, for Ezetta-Memen, it would be a good person for her sister...

"Didn't your sister try to change your situation?

"... the Menmen are famous."

"Maybe your father's power is too strong?

……

Colette's expression changed.A picture star.

"... House Menmen is a famous house.It's a great house. "

"Even the sister of the quasi-B magician couldn't defy her father....."

"... it's a famous house."

Colette repeats the same words.

You're lying down, trembling little by little, and your teeth are tickling.

It seems like you're desperately enduring what you're trying to say.

It's terrible to hear any more.

"Okay. Colette will be my apprentice."

I told you.

"However, it is tentatively adopted until the investigation of the fifth tier of" Elysion "is completed.Afterwards, we will look at the situation and decide to adopt the book.Is that okay? "

"... eh"

Colette opened her eyes.

Then she nodded a lot.

"Ha, yes! Thank you!

"In the meantime, take a bath and rest today. There's a room on the first floor that you don't use, so you can use it. Don't go upstairs without permission.I'm doing research, too. "

Well, I don't mind coming.

The Bat Corps will be surprised if strangers arrive all of a sudden.

Also ─ ─ I'm a little worried.

"Tomorrow, I'll ask the Magic Guild to prepare your quarters.It's hard to live alone right away, so you can come home during meals and during the day.So, what do you think?

"Ah, thank you!

Colette lowered her head with vigour.

"Thank you very much.I will obey the words of my master. "

"Well, I'll clean up the dishes, so Martha and Remy, put Colette in the bath."

"I understand.Yuki-sama. "" Okay. "

Martha and Remy raised their hands.

Then they pulled Colette's hand and headed for the bathroom.

I went upstairs to make sure the sound of water started coming from there.

I opened the window and summoned the wizard.

"Dick, are you there?

I'm here ~

A bat dick comes along with his voice.

"I'll write the brief and deliver it to Odette.As soon as possible. "

I understand.But you can leave a message.

Dick is shy of his neck.

Recently, somehow Odeto-san and I have come to understand each other.

"Somehow I'm in trouble.Because it's important. "

"What's your name?

"During the search for the fifth basement level of Elysion, there is a possibility that the Cain faction may be involved in an incident."

When I heard about Colette, I noticed.

I know you're trying to keep her with me.

Because I am the same bastard as her, I understand that I will not do anything terrible.

It's only natural that Dr. DeMetel should take care of her sister.

The question is ─ ─ Why do you do it at this time?

Ezetta-Memen said, "Yuki-Grossalia, to bring His Highness Iris into the 'Cain School'."

That's what convinced my father.

Then why didn't you do it sooner?

If Ethetta-Memen is thinking about her sister, it's no wonder she sent Colette the moment she found out about me.But Eazetta-Memen didn't.

It is natural to think that if it were not for this timing, I would not have convinced my father.

This is an important time, so I thought I could convince my father and get my sister out.

Perhaps what you're about to do will be irrelevant to your sister.

It feels natural to think that way.

"I think it involves Elysion's quest for the 'Fifth Basement'."

So much so ~

"Odette, who deals with the" Lord of the Spirit "(Phantom), is an important figure in the 5th tier exploration.I should be able to advise the Zammers.So hurry up and give me a message. "

I understand.

"And take Colette's escort to the Bat Corps."

I told you.

"The Marquis of Menmen... other nobles may come into contact.I want you to secretly escort her and protect her if she seems dangerous. "

I see!

─ ─ While I was talking to ─ ─, I wrote down the brief.

Odette is able to "somehow" communicate with bats thanks to the "magic blood" he gave us earlier.

They'll also know that Dick and the others think it's an emergency.

I sent Dick, the bat, and I wrote a letter to Roderia.

It won't be long before the search for the fifth basement begins.

Anyway, let's just be vigilant.

The letter to Odette was written to tell Iris.

I'm going to apply for a visit, but I don't know if I can make it to the fifth floor.

Anyway, so far it's speculation.I'm not sure.

Only those who believe my guess can persuade me.

With the help of Iris, Odette, and Roderia, we should remain vigilant.

With that in mind, I went downstairs and started cleaning up the dishes.
