Strea Side: Magic Teacher
Autumn has arrived at the school.
At this time of year, it's the social season, and all the noble students are busy attending evening parties, and more often come to school looking tired.
I have the position of being the head court mage in the kingdom, and I am also the headmaster of the academy. So I probably should have participated, but I don't like places with a lot of people, and I'm not interested in nobles, so I won't participate.
Thanks to this, few nobles know me, and those who don't know me say things like [I'm old and have a short time ahead of me]. Well... it is more convenient for me to be told so.
When I was in my room at the academy watching the students go to school, a succubus appeared from the shadows. Usually, it is a young succubus named Silk, but today it is a different one.
"It seems that Light-sama's dungeon has been completed. He would like to pick you up this afternoon, so I've come to ask about your schedule."
"Can you tell him that I don't mind anytime?"
"Understood."
After that short exchange, the succubus disappears into the shadows again.
I see... I can finally teach him magic.
I was relieved that I could repay the favor a little.
I owe Light-kun a huge debt as he protects my subordinates, and above all, he promised to protect me from now on as well.
I am happy to be able to cooperate with such a reassuring person even in the slightest.
In the afternoon, Light-kun and Rain-kun visited me.
It seems that I will be transferred to his home in the frontier territory and show me the dungeon. Immediately, I was taken by him and the place I was transported to was a normal private house.
There I was introduced to his family.
A normal human woman was Rain-kun's mother, and a half-elf woman with a strange sense of déjà vu... I had no idea who she was, but I felt strangely familiar with her, and it was a strange feeling, but what was more surprising was that Fenrir, the [Guardian of the Demon Forest], was introduced as his family. I was more surprised by it than anything else.
(TN: Hmm, maybe she is his and the Queen's child?)
"I never thought that you would include the [Guardian of the Demon Forest] as your subordinate."
"Eh? Do you know Ginko?"
"Yeah. She's famous. She has protected the forest ever since the [Demon Forest] was born, maintaining a neutral stance and not siding with either the [Hero] or the [Demon King].
I told him about the greatness of Fenrir.
After that, I went into his bedroom, where he said there was a dungeon, and he told me that another door in the room was the dungeon.
When I opened the door, I found a forest rich in nature filled with light magic, and after walking for a while, I found a village in the open space.
My cheeks relax when I see a familiar face...
"Dan... it's been a while..."
When the old dark elf with a white beard called Dan saw me, he froze, then prostrated himself.
"It's been a long time... I never thought I'd live to see Strea-sama again..."
Seeing Dan crying as he said this, the village's dark elves gathered together and prostrated themselves in the same way as Dan.
"Everyone is alive and well... I'm glad..."
I couldn't help but burst into tears. I realized that those who adored me were still alive.
The dark elves in the village started crying when they saw me. I hugged them and we talked about each other's stories for a while.
"We, the dark elves, were saved by Light-sama, and now we have been given this wonderful peaceful land. Strea-sama... If possible, we would like to continue to repay Light-sama. I would like to act as Light-sama's vassal for a while...''
Dan told me, hesitating.
"No. That's better. I don't have the means to provide a safe haven for the elves anymore. I actually asked him for protection. From now on, you should adore him instead of me."
Dan was confused by my words and was comparing me and Light-kun. Light-kun was also surprised and confused by my words.
"No, Strea-san... do you mean you're going to quit being the elf demon king...?"
"I have no intention of quitting. However, I'm not suitable as a ruler. I'm lazy. I'll let you rule while I sleep peacefully."
When I laughed and answered, he held his head with a troubled look on his face.
After that, I was shown each floor, and they were all wonderful. And the fourth level, the one we would actually use, was an empty wilderness.
"Is this where we would train magic?"
"Yes. I took quite a bit of space, but is that okay?"
"There's no problem with this size. Can you quickly show me the extent of your [intermediate magic]?"
There, I was shown Light-kun and Rain-kun's [intermediate magic], but most of their magic was self-taught, and the magic they used was all suitable for actual combat. In short, it can be said that they specialized in combat.
"That's great. I think it's enough to be able to fight like this with all attributes... but to reach the advanced level, it's better to learn other spells as well. For example..."
I said, floating slightly. Then I raised the altitude and tried flying through the sky. After seeing the two of them surprised from a distance, I immediately returned to them.
"This is [Flight Magic] and is an intermediate wind attribute magic. Generally, it is not used because it consumes a lot of mana and is not easy to use, but if you aim for advanced-level magic, you will need to learn this. There are some things that seem confusing at first glance, but if you don't remember them, you won't be able to reach the advanced level. The bottom line is that you need to expand your range of knowledge and have a larger image of the magic you use."
This is how I became the magic teacher for a [Demon King] and [Hero].
