The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 112: Male Discrimination
Entering the castle, they arrived at a large entrance hall. Beautiful arch with high ceiling. The carpet is spread out on the ground through a circular corridor all the way to the door that leads further inward.
Lighting is not provided by lights or spirit stones, but by small floating light spirits. That's the hallmark of the old castle.
Even if it was called a mythical epoch relic, several thousand years of repeated reconstructions and renovations had left some traces of the time it once was. The only trace left was a statue hidden by a stone pillar.
Along the walls of the circular corridor are colorful illustrations. These are the remains of several hundred years and the motif is of the Queen who has left their name in history as well as the winner of the Sword Style Festival.
"Hm?" Kaizo stopped in front of a large group of pictures. Pictured what he saw, there was the winner of the Sword Style Festival from three years ago.
The Strongest Sword Style Holder, Rei Assar.
Wrapped in the strange clothes of a foreign country, with a terrifying sword of darkness in his left hand.
The sword in his left hand was a dark spirit, Alicia's elemental aero, the Elemental Void Sword. Black hair is charming. Pearl white cheeks. The girl's profile, drawn with a subtle touch and seen as a very beautiful destination.
"It's redundant. The work of a painter without a keen eye." Kaizo muttered that and Eve who had walked turned towards him.
"You are the underappreciated. Her beauty is not like that."
"That's right. Even though we're the same sex, she makes my heart flutter." Victoria also agreed.
"Ah, I understand." Kaizo made a sour expression and groaned.
"Fufuu, aren't you happy, Kaizo."
"You..."
Tiana laughed out loud and looked at Kaizo with half-opened eyes. Following the girls princesses through the huge castle, they finally arrived in their rooms.
"Empire Representative Team Salamander, your room is here. If you want to eat, use something, or anything, don't hesitate to do it."
"Wait a minute, am I in the same room?" Kaizo quickly asked the princess maiden.
"That's impossible, what are you thinking!" Victoria denied it with a panicked expression.
"Y-yes, as expected, living in the same room with a man is hard." Eve said while clearing her throat.
"That's right, as expected, right."
"But what if there's no open space, right?"
Tiana and Aura also exchanged nervous looks.
"Of course, we have prepared a separate room for the man" said the guide's daughter.
"That's right, of course!"
"Y-yes, that's an obvious requirement!"
The young women said in a high-pitched voice.
"Fufuu, what a pity."
"As it would happen. Having only one male in the female room, what kind of torture was that?" Kaizo said that to Lesley who was laughing and smiling with half-opened eyes.
"In that case, I'll go straight to sleep. See you soon."
"Kaizo, wait a minute."
His collar was gripped as he turned towards his room.
"What?"
"We're going to purify ourselves now."
"Purifying?"
Purification means the act of washing one's body with water in a purification ceremony. An impure girl cannot use spirits. For that reason, elementalists must constantly maintain a pure mind and body.
"That's why, that's why, you change your clothes and come to the lake too!"
"No, I'm fine. I'll do it myself later." Kaizo shook his head in a troubled manner.
"Or rather, you don't want me to see you wearing a swimsuit, do you?"
"That-that's..." Victoria's cheeks turned red and she averted her eyes.
"No, not really, mom - not that I don't want it. It's okay if it's Kaizo."
"What?"
"Ti-nobody!"
Unfortunately, Victoria's voice was too slow and she couldn't hear it very well.
(I wonder what it is. Recently, Victoria became somewhat obscure.)
"N-By the way, we are a team, so we will carry out purification together as well!"
Bictoria was like saying, 'This is the order for her slave spirit' as her red ponytail stood up.
"I-that's right, destroying the unity of the team is not good!"
"Kaizo doesn't have enough self-introduction as part of the team!"
"Being able to perform the purification ceremony together is a sign of trust!"
The three young ladies all agreed with each other.
"No, you're exaggerating."
(I wonder why they are so concerned about purification.)
Waiter Lesley cleared her throat with furrowed brows, "For more details, the women just wanted to show master Kaizo their new swimsuit."
"Lesley!" The collective voices of the young women shouted at the servant.
"What's up, exactly?" Kaizo is troubled.
Suddenly there was a pull felt from the side, the cuff pulled.
"The nyx?"
Seen by the mysterious spirit sword Nyx in human form, Kaizo gulped. (I did something bad to Nyx this morning, so.).
It seemed that Nyx was not angry anymore, but she felt that she had to do something to compensate. Kaizo put her hand on Nyx's head and stroked her, "Alright. Let's play in the lake together."
"Yes, Kaizo. I'm happy." Nyx nodded expressionlessly.
Kaizo turned towards Victoria and the others. "With that, I will also do purification, hey, uwah!"
"Why are you so gentle on Nyx!" The luggage of four people flew into his face.
(Looks like we don't have a problem with teamwork.)

"This is your room, Mr. Kaizo."
Kaizo was led down the hallway to the furthest gloomy room. The room was rotten and had a gloomy air. In the corner were paintings and statues as well as other trash covered in spider webs.
"Is this how I feel or am I the only one being treated this badly?"
(In Victorian rooms and others, there were even fireplaces and chandeliers.)
"Rather than the room, this is closer to the storage room."
"Divine Ritual Obsession decided this," The girl's daughter cleared her throat.
(It looks like he's being cold towards me. Well, I guess how else. Divine Ritual Obsession was like an academy, far from being human.)
"Does this room have lights?"
"Yes. The spirit of light would not approach a gloomy room like this."
"I'll open the window."
"As far as you. However, it might rust."
Kaizo sighed deeply and entered the room limply. She had left Nyx in the girls' room so she had to clean the room herself.
(Now that I think about it, it's time to eat.)
Other than the black tea he drank on the airplane, he had not eaten anything since that morning.
"Sorry, can I ask for something light to eat?"
"Mr Kaizo wants *Nyotaimori? I'm sorry, but that's..."
*Note: Nyotaimori, often referred to as "body sushi", is the practice of serving sashimi or sushi from a naked woman's body. You can search on Google for more details.
"I didn't say that! Just something normal like a sandwich!"
"Nyotai-sandwich, wrap yourself in a chest?"
"I beg you, please stop the dirty things," Kaizo sighed deeply at the disdainful gaze he received from the princess maiden.

POV: The Victoria Blade
_____________________________________
"A brave swimsuit like this, is that okay?"
"The chest of the knight captain was unexpectedly quite large."
"Ahn, what are you doing!" Eve gave a cute cry to Aura who stroked her chest.
In the girls' room, the young women change into swimsuits from their uniforms. Smooth and young skin. The dazzling body lines. They were beautiful girls with extremely extraordinary proportions.
In the corner was Victoria who felt that she had lost.
(W-is it just me, a little chest?!)
With a pink tip, it was like a bud flower.
(Although everyone grew up well, but I.) He sighed as he watched the other team members change clothes. The only one he felt he could win against was Nyx, but he was a spirit.
(Even Kaizo wouldn't like a little chest like this.) While lightly rubbing the small bump, what appeared in Victoria's mind was a scene from two months earlier.
The moment when he first met Kaizo at the lake in the Spirit Forest. The words he said when he saw her showering naked.
'I'm not interested in children's bodies', he said.
Remembering it, her cheeks were flushed. Having a man her age see her naked, it was certainly for the first time.
(But come to think of it, it was only two months ago.) Standing on one leg and wearing her new swimsuit, Victoria sighed.
It was only two months, but ever since he met Kaizo, many things had happened. A showdown with Eve at the academy. Against the raging military spirit. A cooking battle with the newly transferred Tiana. Mission in the mine.
And also, two weeks ago, they defeated the strongest elementalist and gathered five teammates to participate in the Sword Style Festival. Until he meets Kaizo, he's always alone.
(But I still know nothing about Kaizo.)
Dropping her underwear on the floor, she was deep in thought. Even when he asked about his family in the horse carriage, he avoided the question.
(Not that I want to pry, but.).
The thing he still did not know about Kaizo was his relationship with that dark spirit girl.
He had given Victoria a demon spirit and had been in the mine with Noah Alnest with the aim of unsealing the strategic class military spirit, 'Phoenix'.
He is Kaizo's contracted spirit, but nothing else is known. Every time a discussion about the past comes up in every discussion, Kaizo will remain silent.
(He doesn't like that, at least tell your master, fool!) Hiding her small chest with her hands, Victoria pressed her lips in displeasure.
