The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 39: Team Plan Discussion
"I happened to pass by. Your lunch was simple, just bread." Aura rubbed her hair onto her shoulder and looked down at the three of them calmly.
"Miss says that she wants to eat together with everyone."
"What?! Lesley, what are you talking about!" Aura's face flushed red as she started hitting Lesley's shoulder. As expected of his exclusive servant, it was an incredible interpretation.
"Sit down you two. After all, you've come all the way here, so let's eat together." Kaizo suggested and Victoria stomped her foot hard.
"Oh, what are you doing?!"
"Nothing, I just think you lack loyalty, Idiot."
"I don't, it's not like I really want to eat with all of you!"
"Miss says it would be nice to sit next to Mr. Kaizo."
"Lesley!"
Lesley calmed the embarrassed girl down and calmed her down. Aura, sitting next to Kaizo and averted her gaze as she asked, "W-how are you hurt?"
"Ah, they're mostly healed. All thanks to the healing spirit."
It was about the injuries he had gotten from the moment he fought the giant spirit. Perhaps because he was exaggerating, it would take longer to heal than he thought, but as expected, the spirit academy's medical treatment was excellent.
"Fufuu, Miss is constantly worrying about you, Mr. Kaizo."
"Lesley, don't say anything unnecessary!" Aura snapped with a funny voice.
"However, it's also natural that miss is worried. Anyway, Mr. Kaizo is under one roof with Miss Victoria, so it's not strange if something happens."
"What are you saying, you stupid waiter! There's no way something like that could happen." This time it was Victoria who snapped.
"What kind of worry is that?"
Nyx was chewing on melon bread and beside her Kaizo just sighed tiredly at their antics. That was how Aura and Lesley ended up having lunch together.
Even Victoria, who was initially visibly upset, finally started talking about the match this morning. Then about which store cake tasted better, how boring was the introductory lesson on the basis of spirit learning, and just like that, conversations like normal girls began to develop.
Somehow the two are on good terms. It was very surprising for Victoria, who was isolated from her other friends at the academy. It could be said that Aura was his only friend.
"That reminds me, it seems like a freshly accepted student joined the Crow Class."
"Our class? Despite the fact that Kaizo just came in recently?"
"Yes, I heard it's a noble daughter with a high social status."
"Hmm, but even if we talk about the social status in this academy, there are the Veilmist family and the Nedifrost family. Isn't that like the cheap sale of nobles?"
"Hey! Can you not equate the militaristic Veilmist family with the original Neidfrost family?"
"I don't care about that kind of thing. What's up, Kaizo?"
After all, the Crow Class was famous for gathering the most troublesome students. He only thought if people like Victoria and Aura grew in number, it would be alarming.
"In the practical skill entrance exam that took place in the morning, he seemed to be using a holy spirit."
The waiter, Lesley, pulled out a memo from his cleavage. Memo on Lesley's helper, aka «Lesley» notes, filled with data of students and teachers of the academy. Kaizo did not understand clearly what he was using it for.
"Hmm, holy spirit user?"
The saint spirit was one of the five great element spirits, but not many elementalists used it. It was very arrogant and chose its own users.
Among the princess girls, it was said that it only opened her heart to pure noble girls.
(Even in the competition three years ago, the saint spirit user gave me a tough fight.)
After all, the saint spirit had a very bad match with the dark spirit Kaizo contracted. But then again, at that moment, Kaizo's strength completely surpassed the opponent's elementalist power, which was why he had not lost.
"Ah, by the way, it looks like she's a very pretty big-breasted girl."
"Lesley, where did you get that kind of information?"
"Ah, Mr Kaizo, are you interested?" Lesley put her hand near her mouth and smiled.
"Eh?" Kaizo flinched, turned around and saw Victoria raise her eyebrows glaring at him.
"Really, men are just idiots!"
"Kaizo, don't you have any differences? Are you just a beast for no reason?"
Somehow, even Aura and Nyx glared.
Kaizo's cheeks were pinched by the three of them.
(It doesn't make sense!)
****
After things had happened, the bread lunch was over and it was time for a break.
"Ahh, that reminds me,"
"Ahem!" Aura cleared her throat and said, "Have you guys gathered team members for the Sword Style Festival?"
"Not yet." Victoria shook her head in embarrassment.
Aura smiled, it seemed like she already knew the answer. "Ah, still not, it looks like I've touched the sore part."
Aura found this fun. He lifted his tea cup in an elegant manner.
Victoria scowled and replied, "Only there is no one who matches the level of skill that we want. How're you? Have you decided on your members?"
"That's why I just haven't found anyone that matches my skill level!"
"Eh? Aura, you can't gather anyone either?" Kaizo tilted her head to the side.
As a person using the «Fenrir» demon ice spirit, Aura was almost on par with Victoria, in terms of abilities. He thought that if it was him, he would be highly sought after but this was different to what Kaizo thought.
"U-for now, no, for now!" Aura's face reddened and she quickly turned around.
"Mr Kaizo, miss...."
"Uh, huh?"
Lesley pulled Kaizo's sleeve as she came to her side, telling her the reason in her ear, "The truth is...."
"Hmm, uh,"
According to Lesley's words, it seems that even though he has tried to assemble the team several times so far, it seems that, the ideals he demanded from his members were too high and his oversized self-esteem also did not help things run smoothly.
The team he gathered repeatedly dispersed so that no students were left to be invited. How he should say it, that was indeed an excuse like Aura.
"Hmm, her pride is indeed high, but she is a good girl after all."
"It's so thick." Lesley nodded solemnly.
"Lesley, what are you talking about with Kaizo!?"
"It's about the order Miss washes her body in the bathroom."
"Lesley!"
Glancing at the cute princess and her servant, Victoria let out a deep sigh, "Haa, I wonder if there really isn't a great elementalist going to make it into our team."
"We, well, it looks like you're in a terrible situation."
"Ahem." Aura coughed and looked at Victoria with one eye.
"That's right. I better try to approach the new student you just mentioned. Maybe I'll get lucky."
