The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 26: The Sword Spirit's Favour
Ice Spirit Demon, Fenrir let out a terrifying roar, then started attacking Kaizo.
"Wahh! Really!?"
Kaizo nimbly jumped out of bed and fled inside the room. Flaunting his fangs, the Ice Spirit Demon chased Kaizo back and forth.
At this moment, Nyx quietly got up and stood in front of Kaizo as if to protect him. The white wolf bared its sharp fangs ferociously, then jumped.
Still expressionless, Nyx thrust her hand in front of the white wolf's nose. Fenrir's movements suddenly froze.
"Retreat! How dare you as an Ice Spirit Demon try to oppose me, Demon Slayer?" As Nyx calmly finished her words, Fenrir began to tremble.
"Sit down."
"Hand."
"Good boy." Nyx stroked Fenrir's head gently.
Kaizo. Aura's mouth was also wide open. Even high-ranking spirits, Fenrir was led by a little girl.
"This girl, could she be...."
"Could you be a spirit!?"
"Yes, I'm Kaizo's contracted spirit." Rubbing Fenrir's tame head, Nyx nodded expressionlessly.

"remarkable. I never thought you were the sealed spirit of that sword."
After leaving the female dormitory and walking in the academy grounds, Kaizo glanced at the girl next to him. Of course, he wasn't naked. Currently, she was wearing the school uniform of the Sizuan Princess Academy.
Human-shaped spirits were the highest rank in Astral Spirit. So it is understandable that Kaizo did not immediately know the girl's true identity.
"I mean, you can reconstruct clothes, so why are you naked?"
"I think Kaizo would be happy like that. Or do I really have to show my elbow legs?"
(It seems that this spirit will be ashamed if he exposes his bare feet. An unclear type of shame.) Kaizo sighed, and tried to think about what she was talking about with Nyx.
At that moment Nyx resonated with Kaizo's strong will, and was summoned in the form of Elemental Aero. However, at the same time as Kaizo lost his consciousness, the Magic Circuit (Street) was once again closed, and he was finally unable to return to Astral Spirit.
"Why are Magic Circuits (Lanes) not connected? After all, we did form a contract."
"One of the factors is that my true existence is too powerful a creature, but perhaps the main cause is from Kaizo himself. Unknowingly, Kaizo refused a contract with me."
Kaizo has a reason. His eyes rest on the left hand wearing black leather gloves.
Back then to save Victoria, Kaizo tried not to think about it. But it can not be denied, his presence still haunts the heart of Kaizo.
"sorry. It's not that I don't want to make a contract with you. It's not like that."
Not being able to return to Astral Spirit exerts great pressure on the Spirit. However, most of Nyx's strength was left behind in Astral Spirit, so right now she seemed unable to display her true strength.
Perhaps because Nyx was a human girl, Kaizo became more depressed.
"No problem. Anyway, I'm tired of being sealed inside the sword. It has been hundreds of years since the last time I came to this world, so I decided to enjoy everything here. Say it, Kaizo." Nyx pulls Kaizo uniform arm.
"It seems I have a good impression of you."
"Good impression?"
"That means I might like you."
"Ah. So, thank you." Kaizo could only blush in embarrassment, and averted his gaze.
Despite being a sealed spirit with incredible strength, her appearance was that of a beautiful girl. In order to receive such an immediate recognition, Kaizo did not know how to respond.
"But when you were sealed inside the sword, didn't you reject the contract with all the other elementalists?"
"Yes, Kaizo. So far, I've turned down 55 elementalists."
"Then why would a high-ranking spirit like you choose me?"
"Well, if I had to guess, it might be an intuition." Nyx watched Kaizo with a pair of clear purple eyes.
"Because I feel that we're both the same."
"Kaizo's...." Nyx suddenly brandished her index finger and gently pressed it against Kaizo's lips.
"Don't break a girl's secret!"
A totally unexpected reaction. Kaizo's heart raced with a gentle touch from his fingertips. Then, her skirt spun around as Nyx quickly turned around. He ran forward lightly.

Away from the dormitory, Kaizo finally arrives at the academy's school building.
(Could Victoria be here?)
After being evicted from Aura's room, Kaizo immediately went to Victoria's room to check on her, but she wasn't in the room. Maybe he's recovered, and went to class to attend college.
It was good if that was the case, but somehow his heart was restless anxious. While walking along with Nyx in the corridor, Kaizo heard continuous whispers coming from all directions.
"See. Looky. There's a transfer student of that man."
"As expected, he's already put his hand on a new girl."
"A very beautiful girl, do we have such students in our academy?"
"Hey. Is it true that Eve's group is dueling with her?"
"He couldn't possibly plan to lay his hands on every girl in the academy, right?"
"Truly obscene, or rather, a lewd beast?"
"Obviously a beast."
"Yes, beast."
"Public enemy of the girls!"
Kaizo's heart hurts. The target of this chatter had heard everything. It was even more painful as they chatted in a loud, audible voice.
"Is Kaizo really a lewd animal?"
Nyx dealt a further blow. Well, he didn't mean to be evil.
Suddenly, the sound of the sword being pulled came from behind, and at that moment it aimed at Kaizo's back neck, it made him shudder as the tip of his sword touched his skin.
"Kirigaya Kaizo, you indecent man!"
Without time to turn around, Kaizo raised both hands, and timidly moved nothing but his line of sight. Standing there was the leader of the twintail Knights, exuding a terrifying killing intent.
Kaizo muttered his name, "E-Eve?"
"I misjudged you, you maniac ****! How could you touch such an innocent girl!"
"Look...." Kaizo sighed, and said with half narrowed eyes, "You just made a very rude misunderstanding about someone else. He's my contracted spirit."
"What?" Eve raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"You're saying this girl is a Sword Spirit who killed the Demon Spirit with one punch?" Eve skeptically stares at Nyx for a moment, then returns to Kaizo again.
"Stop making stupid excuses, Kirigaya Kaizo!"
The sword once again stuck to his neck. But the next second, Eve's shocked eyes widened. The blade that was thrust into the back of his neck became soft and bent.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Resonant Properties (Howling.) As a sword spirit, I can freely interfere with the functions of various swords. Are you willing to trust us now?"
Eve, with her eyes wide open, examined the bent sword. Spirit magic could cause a similar phenomenon, but Nyx bent the sword without even lifting a single finger.
"So, sorry for doubting you." Eve kept her sword, and apologized in seriousness with a bow.
