The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 229: The Arrival of Struggle Guests
It seemed that even the cold-headed princess was just being lenient to her little sister.
"Ohh, I've heard of him, but he's really a funny kid." Victoria muttered that and Minerva separated her face from Aura and turned her head towards her.
"Ahh, big sister friend from the academy, sister Victoria?"
"Yes, it's me."
Minerva bowed politely and said, "It's nice to meet you! I heard Victoria's a close friend of brother's..."
In an instant, Aura hurriedly closed her sister's mouth.
"W-what, what is this girl saying, I want to know!"
"Mhmmhh!"
"He's as close to you as ever, Aura." Kaizo muttered with a wry smile.
Minerva escaped from Aura's hand and this time she smiled like the sun was pointing towards Kaizo.
"Sister Kaizo!"
"Kak Kaizo's sword style is really cool!"
"Yes thank you." Kaizo scratched his cheek in a hint of embarrassment. Even if the one who did so was a nine-year-old girl, being publicly praised was shameful.
"Hey, Kaizo, what does he mean by he calling you brother?" Victoria glared at him with an annoyed face.
"Kaizo, you once again cheated on a young girl."
"Even if thirteen years can be forgiven, I think that nine years is a crime."
Eve and Tiana also directed ice-like gazes towards him.
"Wait, wait a minute, that big brother doesn't necessarily have that kind of meaning."
"Kaizo is my brother," while still expressionless, Nyx clung to Kaizo's waist from behind.
"That's wrong too! Aura, please explain this misunderstanding!"
"I-that's right! Kaizo is Minerva's older brother. Pa-basically, b-that's me and Kaizo..." With a red face, Aura muttered indistinctly.
Minerva put her hand to her mouth and laughed innocently, "Fufuu, big brother is really cute."
And at that moment from the direction of the front door, a soft voice sounded, "Minerva, don't disturb your brother."
Everyone turned their heads in that direction and a little girl wearing a white uniform with a red line stood there.
Dark brown hair resembles a loose net. Noble features like dolls. And most interesting of all, his blue right eye and yellow left eye. Strange eyes that don't match.
"Carmilla!?" Kaizo let out a surprised voice.
A person standing quietly near the door was the representative of Rossvale, the captain of «Division Rupture», Karmila Freya.
"Kaizo, congratulations on your progress to the finals." Karmila muttered that with her usual robotic style and quickly walked towards them and clutched Minerva's nape.
"W-what are you doing!?" Minerva shouted like she was struggling to escape.
"Umm, what's going on?"
"I've become Miss Minerva's personal servant."
"Huh?"
"I suggested it. Karmila from now on will be a servant in the house of Neidfrost serving Minerva."
Hearing Aura's words, Karmila nodded wordlessly. "I'm really grateful to you, Aura. I could no longer return to the homeland," with his head slightly bowed, he gently touched his left eye which had lost its light.
«Devil» Sealing Eyes, it brings a strong «Roh Sealed» from birth, and it is a very rare trait.
It was an existence that could be said to be a trump card of «Division Rupture», but to protect Kaizo and the others, he had released the spirit within his «Devil» Sealing Eyes and as a result lost strength.
His actions that left victory, in the eyes of the motherland, were an obvious betrayal. The Rossvale Kingdom might be after him.
Taking that into account, receiving the protection of the Neidfrost family who was one of the leading nobles in the Eldant main force was truly something that could be called a good decision.
"Kaizo's..." Muttering, Karmila stared straight at Kaizo with her Herochromia eyes.
"I don't regret my decision at the time. Because I chose it myself."
"so. You're strong, Karmila."
"Karmila, let's have some cake with us." Victoria invited Karmila.
Regardless of his appearance, he was unexpectedly someone who had good points like watching others.
"But I..."
"It's okay, it's okay. After all, we are allied with « Rupture» Division."
"Sharing a cup of tea with his master is an important task for a servant!" While taking the cake, Lesley said it with a smile.
(It's just because you want to eat sweet, right!) Kaizo grumbled saying that in his heart.
"If so, then..." Dutifully believing the words of her senior aide, Karmila sat down next to Minerva.
Comparing her to Lesley's clothes, Kaizo voiced the question she was currently thinking about, "In retrospect, Karmila was still wearing the uniform from «Division Rupture»."
"We're in the process of sewing a cute butler's uniform."
"Yes." Yeah." In response to Aura's reply, Karmila nodded while agitated like she couldn't calm down.
(Maybe it suddenly became something he was looking forward to and a new experience for him.)
"Carmilla in waiter's clothes, yeah. It seems to suit him."
"W-what are you saying!?" Surprised, Karmila's face flushed red.
At that very instant, the front door bell rang again.
"Who is this time?" Kaizo muttered turning his gaze in that direction.
"Hmm, I'm coming, Kirigaya Kaizo!"
"Geeh!"
The one at the entrance was a small-bodied girl with her hair tied up in the shape of a bakpao. Royal Princess «Four Dewa», Xuan Sin Luina.
"What's up with that 'geh! It was very disrespectful when facing me!"
With the traditional attire of the Bonia Kingdom waving, he quickly approached her.
"Ah, no, instead, what is the daughter of «Four Dewa» doing here?"
"Delivery. I've come to congratulate you on your progress to the finals."
"Ling!"
The one who stuck out his face from behind Xuan was an ace «Four Dewa», Ling Tian from «Byakko».
And then he continued, "Offering a gesture of humanity to the enemy is the tradition of the Bonia Kingdom."
"We brought a lot of stuff with us!"
"You're throwing a party in a pretty tight spot."
Miao from «Seiryuu», Hakua from «Genbu» and Mion from «Suzaku» also appeared. Each of them carried many bags of food.
"There's chicken bread and grilled chicken skewers. That's the famous product of the Bonia Kingdom."
Lots of food on the table. Suddenly, the interior of "La Parfait" is infused with the fragrant aroma of roasted meat.
"You guys, it's a royal tea party!" Aura raised an objection.
"It's the middle of the party, so don't say such tense things."
The Xuan group began to sit down without reservation.
"Well, okay. Because we received their help in saving Tiana." Victoria shrugged her shoulders like she was astonished.
"Kaizo's..." With that name, Ling approached and sat down next to Kaizo.
Ace of «Four Dewa» poked a grilled chicken skewer into the table and smiled wryly, "To be honest, it's a pity that I couldn't fight you in the final."
