The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 41: The Demon King Candidate
At an event three years ago involving the sword style of participants, one participant left a strong impression on girls of the same generation.
Since then, many princess maidens, who aspire to become elementalists like her. It seems Eve is not an exception either.
"Enough, quickly state your business."
"Shut up, I know it!"
After turning around and replying to Victoria, Eve looked at Kaizo again, "Kirigaya Kaizo."
"W-what?"
"Err, what I'm saying is," Eve looked nervous as her hands trembled slightly.
By the way, Eve did not move the sword from Kaizo's neck, so she could only feel her life in danger.
"What I'm saying is, I, I want you!"
Silence overrode the cafe. Victoria and the others, even Rin and Misha, were stunned. For a moment, time froze.
"W-What?!"
Victoria was the first to open her mouth. His face was bright red and his mouth opened and closed repeatedly.
Eve widened her eyes, looked surprised and shook her head, "Mom-not that! My words just now were, I didn't mean that!"
"A-what other meaning might those words have!?"
"I want to say, ba-that...." After Eve took a deep breath, "Kirigaya Kaizo, will you join my team?"
"Eh?"
Kaizo did not believe his ears when those unexpected words came out.
(Eve and I, one team?!)
"What did you say?"
Victoria and Aura also stared in wonder. Rin and Misha see Eve becoming a dead red, and grinning.
"Tu-wait! W-what, what do you mean?"
"I, I mean that's it. Kirigaya Kaizo, I welcome you to my team. Since you defeated that military spirit, there is nothing to argue with regarding your abilities." Eve answered quickly and quickly averted her gaze, trying not to look at her.
It seemed like his true intention was to scout Kaizo. But with the sword held behind his neck, instead of being stalked, it seemed like he was being threatened.
Eve's results were immediately at the top of the class. If Kaizo were to join this team, it was likely that his chances of obtaining the entrance qualification for the Sword Style Festival would greatly increase. But that's not his style.
"Eve, i...."
"No way, after all this is my contracted spirit!"
The one who interrupted Kaizo with a shout was Victoria. He stood up from the chair and tightly grabbed the arm of Kaizo's uniform.
"Victoria, you?!"
Kaizo turned around and looked down only for her eyes to meet her ruby-colored clear pupils. Victoria had an anxious expression in her eyes. It seemed like he didn't realize it, but he looked at her pleadingly.
(I understand, he.).
It seemed to be betrayed by her sister, Monica Lionstein, causing deep wounds in her heart. After being abandoned by someone, how else would such things scare him.
That's why he kept it to himself. He can't depend on anyone. Because he was afraid of being betrayed again.
Kaizo took a sharp breath and scratched his head. (Showing such a face, where might I be able to take it.)
With a wry smile, he gently placed his hand over Victoria's head. The answer was clear from the beginning. He doesn't have to worry.
"Eve, sorry, but I'm his contracted spirit. I don't intend to change teams."
"Kaizo!?" Victoria was surprised to hear Kaizo's reply, she raised her face and widened her eyes.
"I understand." Eve bit her lips tightly. However, the next moment, he had already returned to his cold expression.
"alright. Sorry for asking something so absurd so suddenly."
"No, me too, thank you for inviting me." Kaizo apologizes and Eve is a little embarrassed.
"I, I'm fine. It's just because you're that kind of person, me...."
"Eh?"
Eve seemed to be saying something, but her voice was so soft that she did not catch it.
"It's okay, the captain has us."
"You guys, I'm not like that!" Eve becomes a dead red and yells at her two comrades, who smirk seductively at her.
"H-hey, Kaizo" said Victoria.
"Hn?"
While still holding the sleeve of Kaizo's uniform, he tried to say something else shyly.
"What's the problem?"
"Thank you, you...."
"What?"
He said something to her, but her voice was too soft, so she could not hear it well. It was unusual for Victoria to be so hesitant.
"A-I, so, erm...."
When Victoria wanted to say something, suddenly there was the sound of a door opening loudly.
"Are the unscrupulous savage stars, no, Kirigaya Kaizo is here?!"
An academy student runs into a salon cafe. He seemed to have come here in such a hurry that he was out of breath.
(Wait, it looks like he was just about to say wild beast.)
"I'm here." Kaizo raised his hand and the girl stroked his chest in relief.
"The head of the school calls you. So, get there."
"Aidenwythe?"

POV: Alicia
_____________________________________
In the corner of the Academy City which was part of the Sizuan Princess Academy. At the coffee room table, which was very prominent outside, a group of strange customers were sitting.
One of them was a black haired girl wearing a jet black dress. Dark spirit Alicia. The culprit that caused the military spirit of the imperial capital to go crazy and bring great damage to the Academy City a week ago.
And the other was a skinny boy with dark skin and hard black hair like steel. He had good looks, but there was something strange about him. It was a pair of red eyes that shone slightly.
The two of them were supposed to attract a lot of attention, but not only was there no one around them noticing them, it seemed that no one could sense their presence.
"So, I just need to steal that special sealed material from the academy's library?"
"Yes, due to the incident the other day, I couldn't get close to the academy."
"Sad, it's troublesome, why do we need such a thing again?" The boy spit on the ground. However, no one found fault in that.
"That thing sleeping in the Mine City is quite a difficult matter. The seal of the highest level Eldant army stretched out several layers. Just by the ritual of release, we don't have to wait how many months it takes to wake her up."
"Hmm, discarded military spirit, how are you going to collect that thing?"
"You don't have the qualifications to know the prophecy, Noah." The black-clothed girl gently shook her head.
The boy clicked his tongue, "Since you are toying with the military spirit of the imperial capital as you please, it becomes even more difficult. Is this an order to steal it?"
"Isn't that okay, I can observe his current strength."
"I feel that way. Honestly, I'm disappointed. Is that all he can do? I expect more from Rei Assar, the Strongest Sword Style Holder."
"He's not awake yet."
"I hope so. Even if I defeat that cowardly man, it won't do any good."
"Ah, do you have any confidence that you can defeat him?"
"I'll beat him. And then I'll prove it. That this Noah Alnest is the true successor of the Demon King." The boy's red lips curved into a grin.
Throughout his entire body, countless spirit seals began to shine. Just like the demon king Ratanak he had, the seal carried thirty-two spirits.
