Meeting with the Headmaster
I successfully survived the holiday against 5 people.
So I returned to school life, but I was annoyed by Ains-sama's involvement. Apparently, he was concerned about the fact that the final exam results were once again a first and second between Rain and me. He began to solicit us to join the student council once again.
"I've heard what you're saying. It seems that you guys want to learn [Advanced Magic]. What do you think? I'm going to recommend you as a court mage right now and arrange for you to be able to study under the best mage in the kingdom."
Ah... I wonder if this was leaked from Fran Ojou...
Well... it's not like I was keeping it a secret, so there's no problem... but why are you using [hypnosis] on your fiancé?
"Um... I'm sorry. It doesn't suit our nature to serve in the castle... I appreciate your kindness, but... I'm sorry, but I have to decline your request."
Ains-sama seemed to be still persisting.
"Then I don't think you can learn [Advanced Magic]... but are you still going to refuse?"
"Yeah... well... I'll find another way, so don't worry..."
"I see... that's a shame. Apart from that, would you like to have tea with us from now on? I'm really interested in you guys. It seems like you always have tea with Fran, so this time I'd like to have tea with us. Will you join us?”
Ahhh, it's so troublesome!!
What's with this prince? I'm annoyed! We don't want to get close to you!
At that moment, a person who looked like a secretary came walking from the end of the hallway.
"Would you mind a moment? Light-kun and Rain-san, right? The headmaster has called for you. Would you mind coming with me now?"
Ains-sama interrupted it.
"I'm talking to them now, you know?"
He asked the person who looked like a secretary in a slightly cold tone, but the person in question answered with a cool face.
"I only came with a message from the headmaster, so I wouldn't be bothered if you said that."
"Tsk... I understand."
Uwaa... at least hide your true nature, prince... Clicking your tongue and backing down is just too uncool...
"Then, Light-kun and Rain-san, come."
After saying that, we silently followed the secretary-like person. She makes her way through the building dedicated to educators, where we don't usually stop by.
I suddenly felt a sense of deja vu towards this secretary-like person. Maybe it's just my imagination...
Meanwhile, I was standing in front of a somewhat luxurious door on the third floor of a building. The secretary-like person knocked and simply said, [I've brought them here], and went inside.
There was a handsome older man with his elbows resting on the desk and his mouth resting on the back of his hand.
"You're Light-kun. Is the lady next to you your sister Rain-kun?"
The headmaster, who straightened his posture as he said so, checked with us. The [Mere Old Man] confirmed it to us. I don't know...... what is it, but it's so different from my image of the headmaster that it just doesn't feel right. I was thinking more of an old man with a beard......
We tentatively nodded in response.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Strea. I also work as the headmaster of this academy and this country's top court mage. Nice to meet you."
Yeah. He introduced himself with a refreshingly handsome voice that matched his appearance. However, the top of the court mages... He must have amazing magic skills, so I subconsciously tried to activate [God's Eye]. It was at that time……
"Oh! You can't use God's Eye to look me! You heard from Shamu-kun that you shouldn't use God's Eye on long-lived species."
With those words, time for me and Rain stopped.
This guy... does he know that I have [God's Eye]? Moreover, he knows about Shamu... and a long-lived species? No... there's too much information I want to hear in just those few words...
"It's okay. I'm going to honestly tell you what you want to hear. Also, if you're concerned about my skills, it's better to just look at the surface. If you try to read my memories and emotions, your head will be destroyed. It might turn out to be a disaster."
No, I can't even look at it if you give me advice like that......
"First, let me answer your question. I'm an elf. And I've lived for a long time. And I also have the [God's Eye] skill. So now I know everything about you. Isn't it true? You are the [Demon King of Lust] who is loved by the evil god.''
I'm speechless... He knows everything? That's not good......
"That means... you also know about Rain by looking at her...?"
The words I managed to twist out of my mouth were about Rain. If he had some kind of agenda, I feared that Rain would be harmed.
"Yeah. I also understand that she is a [Hero]."
I felt the tension growing inside me... this man, here...
"Indeed... it's truly wonderful! I never thought that in this day and age, the day would come when a [Demon King] and a [Hero] would join hands again! How wonderful! As expected, you are the one who has been blessed with divine protection from the evil god!"
Eh? This feeling... it's not hostile?
"I'm sorry. I got a little excited. That's right! I'll introduce my name to you again. I'm Strea, the third generation demon king of the elves, the [Demon King of Sloth]. Nice to meet you once again."
Yes, the demon king in front of me smiled and introduced his name to me again...
