The Demon King of Lust's Cheating Slow Life in Another World (WN): Chapter 192

 

An Inevitable Plot

I'm in my second year of school and my first final exam is over.

It means the coming of summer. Since there is no summer vacation at this school, this first final exam is like a summer term.

We were still spending our days surrounded by and dealing with junior students. Some wanted me to teach them swordsmanship, some magic, some aristocratic manners......

In any case, we were asked for instruction and advice from a variety of fields. This was a request from the teachers, and I really had no choice but to continue. However, I tried not to do private requests.

Some of the children asked if I would like to have tea, or go to school together, or meet up on holidays...

The straight ones asked me to go out with them......

In my previous life, I would have welcomed such a situation, but in this life, I will be realistic. When I go home, I have a beautiful woman, a beautiful girl, who loves me. There is no point in dating a girl for a reason if you don't like anything about her.

Rain is in a similar situation as I am, but she has been rejecting boys who have confessed their feelings for her.

"Become a man who is strong enough to defeat Onii-sama, and then come back.''

Rain brought that cliche thing. This makes me more popular than I should be, and it also makes me more likely to get tangled up with reckless people......

One day, it was lunch time. Even when we were having lunch at the cafeteria, Rain and I were surrounded by our juniors. There were people breaking it open like Moses and approaching us.

It is this school's student council, namely Ains-sama and his entourage. However, Fran is also there today...

"Hello! Light-kun. It seems like you're quite well-liked by everyone."

I feel a little irritated by Ains-sama saying such things so openly, but I suppress it. In the first place, this situation was created because of Ains-sama and that saint... erm, I think it was Sylvie...

Simply put, it's an attempt to separate us and Fran. I already knew that the purpose was to distance myself, Rain, and Fran from each other.

"Thank you... By the way, what can I do for you today?"

Ains-sama sat next to me with his usual handsome smile.

"Well, I'd like to invite you to the student council again, but you're stubborn. Today, I came to ask you a favor."

"Yes. What is it?"

I decided to just listen and let the conversation continue.

"From now on, we, the student council, must become stronger. That's why we're planning to have a training camp in the Demon Forest. So I want you two to cooperate with us as adventurers."

It's strange that he is emphasizing the part of the adventurers, but... I guess he's just trying to keep us from complaining as we run errands...

"I'm sorry, Ains-sama. Currently, we are prioritizing our studies, so we cannot meet your expectations. If you insist, we will still accept your nomination request from the Adventurer's Guild."

If it's a nomination request from the adventurer's guild, it's almost the same as an order. However, in that case, a fairly high request fee would be required, so even if you were a member of the royal family, you would not be able to afford it easily.

Ains-sama doesn't change his expression and puts his arm around my shoulder in an exaggerated manner.

"Please don't say such petty things. It's just me and you guys."

"Haa... I see..."

"And Fran will be accompanying us this time. You guys and Fran are on good terms, right? Aren’t you worried about her safety?"

When I instinctively looked at Fran, she was looking at me with an apologetic expression. And she shakes her head slightly.

It seems like she's implicitly telling us not to accept this offer.

Damn it... it feels like she's been taken hostage...

"I understand. I will accept it..."

Fran was surprised and stared at me with a sad face. But...

This is probably some kind of trap. Sorry, Fran. I can't abandon you.

"I thought you would say that! Thank you. Let's talk about the details later."

Saying that, Ains-sama waved at me and left the dining room.

Later, the student council sent us a messenger and we were taken to the student council room.

Ains-sama, his entourage, the saint Sylvie, and Fran were there. It seems like Fran has joined the student council.

"She's my fiance. I need her to support me as my assistant right now."

Ains-sama said as he put his arm around Fran's shoulders.

"Your Highness, haven't I always said that you shouldn't touch women casually?"

Fran brushed off Ains-sama's arm with a resolute expression and gave me an apologetic look.

Ains-sama was looking at Fran with a bored expression, but since the conversation wasn't progressing, I hurried to confirm the schedule with Ains-sama.

Here's what I heard:

First, the members of this training camp head to RockQueen in the frontier territory. Then, it seems that we will go deeper from the entrance of the [Demon Forest] in RockQueen.

Other than the training camp members, the companions were several Royal Guard knights and adventurers, in other words, us.

It seems that the plan is to travel from the royal capital to RockQueen for one week, then spend a week in the [Demon Forest], then return for a week, and then add another week for spare time, which would be a month.

I really don't want to spend a month with these guys, but I have no choice if it's for Fran's protection.

I decided to start taking various actions to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
