The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 141: The Plan of the Former Queen
Kaizo suddenly became curious about the name Minerva mentioned earlier and she asked, "Oh yeah, who is Seria you guys were talking about earlier?"
Dark clouds passed through Aura's face.
"Sorry, w-have I just asked you a question I shouldn't have asked you?"
"No-no, not at all!"
Lowering her gaze, and shaking her head, Aura said, "Seria is my other sister, the second daughter of Neidfrost."
"So you have another sister."
"mmmmmmm. He is now in the castle of Neidfrost, in a long sleep that cannot be awakened." With tears in her eyes, Aura told Kaizo the whole story.
The second daughter of the Neidfrost family, Seria Neidfrost, was originally the daughter of the highly rated and excellent «Divine Obsession» Ritual there.
However, just a few years ago, while performing a sacrificial ritual against the Water God Elemental, he made a mistake. In anger, the Elemental Lord imprisoned him in an ice curse that never melted.
The Earl of Neidfrost had recruited elementalists from all over the empire in an attempt to break the curse, but to no avail.
Despite possessing the strength of various high-level spirits, they could not break the curse. After that, Seria lay motionless like she was sound asleep.
"The Curse of the Water God Elemental? It must be something that neither elementalists nor humans can destroy."
"Yes, there's only one way to save Seria."
Clenching his fists, Aura continued, "It was a gift from the Sword Style Festival Winner or a blessing from an Elemental Lord. «My wish» is for the Elemental Lord Water to be merciful and give his forgiveness to let me save Seria."
"aura..."
His words rekindled the fire in Kaizo's mind.
(Yes, not just me.)
Victoria, Eve, Tiana, and Aura as well. His colleagues at the «Sword» Style Festival all have an unwavering strong motivation.
The disappearance of Nyx, right before her eyes, has dampened Kaizo's spirit and made her a little more withdrawn. However, he could not give such an excuse.
Resting both of his hands on Aura's shoulders, Kaizo told her, "Aura, we really must achieve the final victory."
"Y-yes, you're right!" Aura blushed and smiled happily.
Perhaps because he usually preferred to wear a stubborn and haughty appearance, Kaizo felt this sincerely smiling Aura looked extremely adorable.
"Well, Kaizo, I'll go back to my room and get ready."
"certain."
Aura timidly turned around and ran towards the other end of the corridor.
"In that case, I will also continue my preparations." Kaizo shrugged his shoulders and started to return to his room.
Then, the voice he was most familiar with called out to him, "Hee hee, Kaizo, you stay as popular as ever."
"Tiana!?" Tiana was standing at Kaizo's door, and it seemed like she had been there for quite a while.
"Hows it? Was your date fun with Victoria and the others?" The second royal princess smiled and teased Kaizo.
"Dating? Not at all, it's just..." In the middle of his sentence Kaizo stopped, not knowing how to proceed.
(From an objective point of view, it does look like a date, maybe.)
Furthermore, it looked like the sightseeing of a reckless woman with three pure and unsullied beauties.
At Kaizo's reaction, Tiana sighed in astonishment and said, "Ah, I see Kaizo now not only Devils at night, but also Devils during the day."
"Devil by day, what is it?"
"Have it been, I'm the one who made you go out and have fun, from now on it's my turn to show my moves."
"Your turn? Your move? Whatchu mean?" Kaizo tilted her head, not understanding.
Tiana suddenly looked serious, "I found an acquaintance who can break the curse on you."
While Kaizo and the others are taking a walk at the Festival, Tiana has been searching for the person who can break the curse of «Bind of Darkness».
"Tiana, thank you so much."
"Either. But there is still one problem."
"That's the matter?"
"Since she is a high-ranking princess maiden, I can't just ask her to leave the Great Temple, so meeting her will be a little difficult. So, I'm gonna need you to come with me personally, Kaizo."
"Oh, so is that it? Of course I can come with you."
"Great. So, without further ado, can I ask you to hurry up and change your clothes?"
"Change my clothes?"
"Yes, I remember that Kaizo, you seem to be very good at dressing up as a girl?"
****
A few minutes later. In front of the mirror in the room stood a dark-haired girl.
"It's too shocking, I never expected it to be so accurate."
"You shit, don't tell me you're really happy."
"Ti-there's no such thing, it's just our only solution." Tiana gazed into the distance, trying to ignore this matter.
"He must be enjoying this." Kaizo muttered with great difficulty.
Indeed, the girl reflected in the mirror was Kaizo, wearing a ceremonial outfit «Divine Obsession» Ritual. There was a black wig on her head and makeup powder on her face. Even with a layer of pale cherry-colored lipstick on her lips, she looked very much like a young girl.
"It's beautiful, even though your outline is a little different, such a beauty is unmistakable, you really look like a former Rei Assar. If you walk down the street and look like this, you will definitely be the talk of many."
"H-hey, can you hold it." Kaizo instinctively looked around. Even though they are indoors, there is no such guarantee as the walls have ears.
Upon seeing Kaizo's embarrassed face, Tiana smiled sweetly and said, "However, this outfit is truly a masterpiece. Very pretty, I want to take you to everyone there to spoil their eyes."
"Please don't!" Kaizo desperately pleads with Tiana, as if begging for her life.
"Oh, be careful with such loud screams, you will be heard by the people in the corridor."
Suddenly, right at that moment, from the other side of the door came the sound of something falling onto the floor. Kaizo turned towards the voice.
"Ka-Kaizo!? W-what are you doing!?"
It was Victoria, a shocked expression formed on her face. Scattered on the floor were objects that fell from his hands.
"Vi-Victoria!? You're wrong, it's not what you think, ah!" Kaizo rushed forward, wanting to explain himself. However, in a hurry, he tripped over the tip of the clothes and fell down, and the chest pad fell from his chest and fell to the floor. Everyone was silent for a few seconds.
"Eh, ah, this..."
Breaking the silence, Victoria opened her mouth and said: "Ti-no, it doesn't matter. I don't mind! Ha-just, I was just surprised to suddenly find out that you have such a hobby. U-uh, Everyone has their own hobbies, after all!"
"That's what I said, you're wrong!" Kaizo straightened herself up and explained loudly, but Victoria played the role of a fool and pretended not to listen.
"You don't have to hide, it's okay! That, you look very fit wearing that, and I think you look pretty dressed as a girl."
He continued, "Although this hobby is something you may not want to publish, I support you, Kaizo. I will always support you, yes!"
"I don't need your support!"
"Ha ha, Kaizo, that's amazing." Tiana laughed, looking at the two of them.
