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~

─ ─ Odette viewpoint ─

"I had no idea there was going to be a C-level sorcerer out there... totally unexpected...!

Odette was on his way to the magic battle venue, running a carriage.

I just heard the bell ringing at noon.

Yuki's magic battle must not have begun yet.

The delay was due to the fact that Odette was investigating until the end of the day.

Just before the appointment ceremony, I finally found out that Princess Albia's escort knight was Alek-Keirth.

After all, I couldn't tell Yuki that.

"Normally... a Class C sorcerer shouldn't be an escort knight..."

Alek-Keirth is 21 years old.

Already in The Magic Guild, I have achieved quite a bit.

We also carry out the strategy of the giant dungeon 'Elusion', so we shouldn't otherwise be able to afford to do the work of escort knights.

But the Keirus Marquis family made a mistake in the other day's incident.

His second son, Zilvan, succeeded brilliantly in his "Guardian Knight Selection Exam" when he tried to interfere with the Yuki.

Moreover, even though it was an accident, he even summoned Bishop Necromancer to attack the examining superintendent.

It was Guyel-Wolfgang who used subpoena magic, but it was Zilvan who gave the instructions.

The Keirus family was to be held accountable.

The position becomes weaker and is naturally seen with white eyes by other nobles.

There, Princess Salvia laid eyes on her.

Alec, a Class C sorcerer, took a short break from his work on the 'Sorcery Guild', during which he suggested he become the Guardian Knight of the Princess of Salvia.

The Keelus Marquis family accepted it.

If Alec becomes Princess Salvia's escort knight, the Marquis will gain a strong back shield.

Other nobles, too, will not be able to denounce the Keirus Marquis family in standing up.

I chose my brother Alec, not Zilvan, to show the difference in strength from Yuki.

Because Princess Salvia's purpose is to look down on Iris.

─ ─ That's the information Odette followed once and got.

"Damn, we're sorry!

The carriage stops. We arrived at the magic battle venue.

Odette jumps off the carriage and runs out towards the venue.

"Please wait! You are not allowed in here except by the parties involved!

"This is Odette-Sray, the second daughter of the Slay family!

Odette shouted at the guard guarding the magic laboratory, also known as the Circular Arena (Colosseum) gate.

"We are talking about watching today's sorcery battle with His Highness Iris (rather). Lead me to His Highness Iris-Leastia!!

Guided by the guards, Odette was walking down a long corridor.

This is one of the establishments owned by the 'Magic Guild'.

It is used to train witchcraft and to compete for magicians' moves.

In the middle of the building, there is a large space.

Guild humans sometimes call it the Circular Arena (Colosseum), but it's actually just an experimental site. The soil is tight now, but grass flowers are sometimes planted, and animals can be released.

Nor is this sorcery battle anything killing or hurting each other.

Under the set rules, it should be a battle to decide whether to win or lose.

With that in mind, Odette advances out fast.

There is an audience around the arena.

The numbers are sparse. It is the officials of the 'Magic Guild' and the people of the Keelus Marquis family who are there. Exactly. No Zilvan-Keels. You must be cautious.

There are also Alliance trainees. These are the ones who will be among the Odettes.

Of the audience seats surrounding the arena, west and east, are provided for the two princesses.

Each is closest to the arena.

Princess Salvia to the west. And to the east, there was Iris' seat.

"Looks like it hasn't started yet."

That's what Odette said and lowered his back to the seat next to Iris.

"... I've been waiting for you. Odet-Sray."

"I'm sorry I'm late. His Highness Iris."

"My escort knight's mock battle today - no, thank you for coming to 'Magic Battle'. Please, support the escort knight Yuki-Grossalia with me."

"Yeah. Let me do that. Your Highness."

Iris and Odette, the two girls look around.

There are no people in the audience nearby.

A few guards are holding back on the side instead.

Iris and Odette nodded and waved gently.

It's a payroll signal.

The guards seemed a little lost, but followed the instructions of the princess and the princess and left the scene.

They smiled and dropped off the guards, and then...

"... Odette. What shall we do?"

A blue-faced Iris looked at Odette.

"Me, Milo... no, I told Yuki. I don't need to go along with this, so please abstain. And yet... why..."

"Probably because you're so angry."

"... eh"

"Iris, did you tell Yuki about you, His Highness Salvia?

To Odette's inquiry, Iris shook his head sideways.

"I said, That Iris was broken for her tenth birthday, and that she rose her grandmother Rachel's constitution in front of other princesses. And that the letters I sent were sometimes opened to someone."

"Odette!? How could you do that!?

"I was asked. He said," What kind of life did my kid live? "

"Mr. Yuki?

"You didn't like or dislike it, or you can eat the uro beans now. Has the habit of falling asleep in summer healed? Like a father worrying about a child."

"Did you teach? Odette."

"As a maiden, it's only the unsweetened part."

"But... you don't even have to mention your sister Salvia..."

'Cause whatever you hear, all you say is, "It's okay."

Shivering, and Odette stuck his finger.

"It's okay to hear Yuki say 'what His Highness Salvia looks like'. I'm a normal person ',' Do I really not have to be in a sorcery battle 'even if I ask,' It's okay. I'll take care of it '... if it's not Yuki, I'll worry about it."

"... because"

Iris grabbed the hem of the dress.

"'Cause my lord, you're impotent. If it's for my family, I'm the one who does everything. If I told you that someone was messing with me, I'd be absolutely impotent!

"... Honestly, two people who know too much about each other are troublesome"

"... maybe what I'm thinking... was all over my road?

"Absolutely. It was in a flash."

Odette held Iris' hand.

"Yuki knows you're worried. And on top of that, I decided to fight for you this time."

".................. yeah. I know."

"We have a long way to go. Are you ready?

"Ready?"

"Because for Yuki, you're still a small, dangerous, unwanted child."

"─ ─ Huh!?

"From what I've seen, Yuki has known you since birth, like a brother away from your age. It's hard to make that Yuki have feelings for you. I'm gonna have a hard time."

"O, Odette... it's terrible..."

"And don't worry about Yuki's impotence."

"Really?

"Yeah, I figured out a way around that."

Odette looked at the arena.

From their point of view, on the left - through the south entrance gate - Yuki almost showed up.

He wears a black (shinkoku) robe specially made by the Grail Chamber of Commerce.

Armor is for ritual use. I thought you said robes were easier to move to play magic warfare.

I have a cane in my hand.

It's made of metal, about half the length of my arm.

"That's the wand Yuki designed...?

"Yeah. That's what the 'Grail Chamber of Commerce' does for sure."

Then, through the entrance gate on the north side, Alek-Keirus appears.

He wears a pure white robe. He also has a cane in his hand.

There are surprisingly many users of 'ancient sorcery' who use canes.

To activate Ancient Sorcery, in addition to chanting, you need to draw a crest with your fingers in the air.

Generally, some people draw with just their fingers, but it's easier to draw with a cane.

Some people, on the contrary, have a cane, which slows them down in drawing by its weight.

Alek-Keirth, I guess, supports the former.

Yuki has a cane for another reason.

All I know about this is Odette and Rhodelia, plus Yuki's maid and user demon.

"Odette... Class C magicians are strong..."

"That's my goal for now, isn't it? To qualify for C, you'll have to go around the third tier of" Elusion. "

"... Yuki. Will you be all right?"

"Are you worried?

"Yes, Yuki did too much by accident..."

"Don't worry."

Odette put his face close to Iris' ear.

"That's why me and Yuki have been training for the past few days."

"Odette...... sloppy. I can't believe you're with My Lord."

"Be patient. So... it's an operation..."

Odette whispered and told Iris that he had decided to be Yuki.

"... ok. I'll try."

"Here we go. Iris."

Black and white, two magicians, face each other in the middle of the arena.

They put something like a decoration on their heads.

Perhaps whoever takes that will be the winner.

Princess Salvia is looking at this one in the west seat.

I can't see the look on your face because it's far away, but I guess, I'm laughing.

Naturally.

Because there's no way a Trainee in the "Magic Guild" can beat a C-Class Mage.

"............ my lord...... yeah. Yuki wins."

"... probably"

"But if Yuki gets hurt, I won't forgive Salvia."

Iris puts his strength in his hand.

While holding that hand back, Odette was staring at the arena.

And the magician of the referee whistled.

"Magic Guild" trainee, Yuki-Grossalia.

"Sorcery Guild" C-Class Sorcerer, Alek-Keirth.

It was the beginning of a sorcery battle between two escort knights.
