The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 137: Meeting a Dragon Girl
"Given the nature of the curse, it might be something similar to a curse seal."
"That's probably true. In addition, there were also signs that the Alphen Territory, Rei Assar was secretly conducting research on the curse seal."
"While we do, it might be best if we investigate the Alphen Territory as well."
One by one, Victoria and the others started flipping through the forbidden books on display on the shelves. Even though they were all noble daughters of respectable families, the status of their daughters alone would not make them gain access to these forbidden books.
They could all have access to these books just because of their special situation, they were participants of the Sword Style Festival.
"The record of the punitive expedition of S-rank spirits in deep sleep in the spirit forest, no."
"Data on the curse seals collected during the Blue Moon War? Oh, this one might contain a clue."
"Ancient Taboo Magic, this book should be useful, ahhh!?" While looking through the collection, Eve let out a startled scream.
"Eve, did you find any clues!?"
"What happened to you? Why is your face so red?"
"Ti-it's okay! It's okay."
Victoria stole a look at the book Eve was holding open.
"ah! Wh-what's this!" Victoria blushed hot too. The picture in the book was a portrait of a girl's daughter in a very indecent position.
Magic ritual taboo, the contents of this book are so realistic that even Victoria, who has a weakness in provocative romance novels, inevitably has to take three steps back.
"A-astaga, this is too lewd!"
"Captain, you pervert!"
"N-no! I was looking for a book about rituals and accidentally took this one, that's all!" From the way Eve hastily shook her head in denial, one could tell that this noble girl was quite surprised.
They were silent for a moment. Looking at the taboo book in front of them, the girls gulped nervously.
"Then why don't we just flip through it for a second and look at it?" Victoria made a suggestion with a slightly doubtful tone in her voice.
"That might be good, there might be something useful there, we never know."
"Y-yes, there's no denying there's such a possibility."
Aura and Eve, both of them nodded, but turned their eyes uncomfortably by looking at each other. Victoria nodded and prepared herself psychologically, then started flipping through the books with trembling fingers.
"Wow!? Wh-what's this?! I-I don't understand."
"What's going on? Shut her eyes, then do something like that, aaaah!"
"Is this the man thing?"
"Put it in the mouth and ju-also lick?"
"Until putting it between one's chest, eww.b-how could one be willing to do such a thing!"
These girls are relatively innocent and would be embarrassed to just hold hands with boys their age. The impact of peering into the unknown world made them suddenly speechless.
The only sound that was heard was turning the pages, echoing in the silent closed archives. To be honest, the three of them really enjoyed what they saw.

POV: Kirigaya Kaizo
_____________________________________
While Victoria and the others begin to get excited in the underground archives, Kaizo remains on the lookout for clues.
"Well! When I finish reading this, I will die of exhaustion." Kaizo moved the pile of documents onto the table and began his investigation into the legend of the Sacred Sword.
He is a user of «Saint Sword» and also the one who defeated the demon lord. There is no one on this continent who does not know his name.
Surprisingly, most people only know the name of Imuruk Sizuan, and not the truth of his exploits. Furthermore, future generations have graced many of his legends, so the truth is almost impossible to know.
(Alright, it's done, the great Holy Queen doesn't matter.)
His immediate priority at the moment was the «Saint Sword» he held. Just paying attention to phrases related to «Saint Sword», Kaizo flips through documents quickly.
A «Holy Sword» capable of defeating a Demon King was definitely not an ordinary weapon. The most likely argument is that the Holy Sword was actually created from a high-level spirit.
After obliterating the Demon King, Queen Sizuan had apparently sealed the contracted spirit that had fought with her all the way in one of the swords within the demon king's castle.
The sword used to seal spirits, the sword he relied on to do all this, was «Holy Sword Evangelion».
As for the reason why Sizuan wanted to seal his own contracted spirit inside the sword, no one knew. Similarly, there was a lot of speculation about his whereabouts after he eliminated the Demon King, but there was no convincing answer.
Kaizo closed the book, silent. The conclusion was, he still could not say anything with certainty, what was unknown was still unknown.
Although they had accessed various documents, almost all of them contained only rumors with no basis in fact. As for the spirit forest where Nyx was originally sealed, she was unable to find anything more detailed than what was already in the seal library.
Therefore, no matter how Kaizo looked, he did not have high expectations from the start. It was extremely difficult to find an ancient book explaining about the Sacred Sword.
(However many similar documents I have seen, there is no way to restore Nyx.)
Moreover, whether Nyx was the real Demon Killing Holy Sword did not matter. For Kaizo, he is an important partner, a point that will not change no matter what.
"Nyxx..." Kaizo gently stroked the spirit seal on his right hand.
Nyx, with very beautiful silver-white hair, snow-milk white skin, and a face that usually shows no expression, until Kaizo stroked her head. He would then narrow his eyes while smiling to show his pleasure.
(Nyx will definitely come back to me!)
To trust him wholeheartedly and wait for him to come back, that was all Kaizo could do for him now. Kaizo got back up, picked up the pile of documents with both hands and prepared to return them to the shelf.
Just as he finished putting all of the books back into his original viewing position, he was summoned by someone behind him.
"You, Kirigaya Kaizo?"
Kaizo turned towards the sudden call and sighed, "Goodness, you again!"
The young lady before him was the one he had met before. The reason Kaizo's unintentional startled cry was because he really did not want to bump into such a person.
"What's? Is that the greeting you thought to yourself, Kirigaya Kaizo?" The girl frowned unhappily.
With a thick black hair of a bright shoulder, she had a cold beauty. The girl wore a beret encrusted with the emblem of a flying dragon, as well as a black military uniform that gave her a majestic aura and was a perfect fit for her.
He also stared coldly at Kaizo through his glasses with a sharp and strong gaze. She was a contestant of the Draconians, the Knight Leader of the Dragon Emperor, Viona Spellister.
In this Sword Style Festival, he was among the more promising favorite elementalists to win the tournament. However, she is also a dangerous girl who is trying to deal physically with the bottom belonging to Kaizo.
"You, what are you doing here?"
Viona pushed her glasses with her middle finger, looked at Kaizo desperately and replied, "A stupid question. Obviously, I'm gathering intelligence on other countries' teams."
(So so. Indeed, there were some documents in his hands. Despite possessing a strength that only a few other players could rival, he was still trying to find out about his competitors, he was truly a formidable opponent.)
Kaizo then asked a question about another thing he realized, "You didn't wear glasses before, did you?"
