The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 45: The Seizing of the Spirit
"No, I won't accept this!" Just that night, Victoria's angry voice echoed throughout the Crow Class dormitory.
"I've had to admit he joined the team for a while because of the guarding mission, but...." He combed his red hair in annoyance.
"Why is this girl in the same room as us?!" She faced Tiana, who was drinking her cup of black tea in an elegant little gulp, and pointed her finger at him.
Turning around haughtily, Tiana sighed and muttered, "A very small room, I didn't think this was the place where a noble would stay."
"Diamond! If you have a complaint, why don't you take it to the principal?"
"What I'm talking about is how messy the room is. Can't you catch the sarcasm from that comment?"
"Grh, bi-usually this is tidied up properly!"
Kaizo sighed as he ran out of sense. Both of them have been like this for a while.
"Hey, Kaizo, don't you think so too?"
"Err, alright," glancing towards Victoria who was about to cry, Kaizo replied faintly.
"Ah, that reminds me, the real identity of Rei Assar."
"Ahh, this is really messy. Victoria, you should at least clean it up."
Victoria bit her lips with teary eyes at Kaizo's reply.
(Sorry, Victoria. I can't oppose this princess.)
Somehow, the girl knows Kaizo's true identity. Kaizo's intention was to ask questions quickly, but in this situation, Victoria would also find out.
This princess seemed to have no intention of telling Victoria her secret, but she had threatened her by leaking the name since some time ago.
Feeling like a cat on a hot brick, Kaizo sighed boredly. While invisible fireworks were strewn about, Nyx was playing with Salamander by climbing her body.
It seems that Victoria realized that she was no match for Tiana in a fight of words and shifted the flow of her argument to Kaizo.
"After all, why should my room be?!"
"Well, because you're the only person in the dorm who occupies a room alone."
"It's not just me, not even just the two of us. Including Nyx, these are three people."
"Didn't you treat me as your slave spirit? According to dormitory rules, spirits don't count as roommates."
"Eh, I see, but...."
"Well, with all of us, I think this room will be narrow, as expected. I'm gonna go."
In the first place, Kaizo was supposed to live in a hut outside. Moreover, it wouldn't be good if rumors about a man sleeping in a girl's room were spread.
"Hey, what are you going to do when you leave? Are you planning to sleep outside?"
"For now, a tent is enough. I'll set it up one way or another."
Victoria grabbed the back of Kaizo's neck as she tried to leave the room.
"What?"
"No."
"Huh?"
"That's not good. After all, if you leave," Victoria looked down and tightly bit her lip. "Who will cook and wash?!"
"Err, you'll do it."
"Cannot be. After all, the food you make is delicious."
It appears that Victoria, who used to live on canned food, had her stomach held back by Kaizo's home cooking.
“In addition, if you leave, doesn't that mean you and Nyx were left alone together. That's not good. Aura, and like just now, Eve might have interfered. No, not just Eve and the others. After all, there are a lot of girls who are after you out of curiosity."
"If I get targeted, Nyx and I can fend off most of them."
"Bu-not that I mean, stupid!"
Victoria let go of her grip on the back of her neck.
"Anyway, you're mine. I'm not gonna give you to anyone."
"Even if you say that, I don't know anymore." Kaizo sighed softly.
"Hey, what do you mean by yours?" Tiana muttered in a soft tone.
"Victoria Blade, what kind of relationship do you have with Kaizo?"
"What kind of relationship, that...." Victoria blushed in embarrassment and replied, "Bu-slave and relationship master!"
"W-What are you saying!?" Tiana looked at Kaizo with a look of wonder.
"Don't tell me you have a crazy relationship."
"H-hmm, besides, what kind of relationship do you have with Kaizo? Despite being a new student, aren't you very familiar?" Instead, it was Victoria who asked back this time.
As she did so, Tiana coughed. "I? Me, his little sister, Kaizo."
"Gee!"
"A sister, I don't have...."
"Hey, look, actually Rei Assar's real identity is,"
Tiana muttered the magic words and Kaizo immediately nodded.
"You, yeah, she's my little sister, my little sister!"
"A-sister woman. I see, so you have a sister." Victoria caressed his chest for a reason.
"However, I'm his half-brother."
"Sister step-daughter!?"
"That's right, furthermore, a mischievous half-brother."
"Disputed stepbrother!?" Victoria's face turned crimson in a split second.
(What did he imagine?)
"This is the clue, stepbrothers can be married to her brother, right, ka-ka-k!"
Suddenly, Tiana tightly pressed her large chest against him. Kaizo was spontaneously startled by a gentle sensation that she should not have felt.
"W-what? I-idiot, you pervert!"
"Oh, wait, this is a misunderstanding, stop."
For some reason, tears streamed down Victoria's eyes as she struck Kaizo with her whip.
"Hey, what did you do to Kaizo!" Tiana grabbed Victoria's arm that swung upwards.
"Eh, wh-what?!"
"Kaizo is not your slave."
"Yes that's right." Kaizo.
"He's mine."
"No, I'm not yours either, you know?!" Kaizo replied with half-opened eyes.
(God, I wonder why people like this are around me.)
"Dearly enough. After all, Kaizo is my slave spirit. Anyways...."
"After all?" As Tiana asked back, Victoria's cheeks flushed slightly,
"After all, err, I even performed a spirit contract ritual with Kaizo."
Tiana opened her mouth. He faced Kaizo, whose head was made to squeak. "Hey, is that right, Kaizo?"
(He has a devil's smile.)
"No, that...."
To be honest, he felt embarrassed just by remembering that time. He turned a dead red and lowered his eyes, which was roughly the same reaction Victoria had shown.
(If it's embarrassing, then don't mention it!) is what he thinks right now.
After witnessing such a reaction from the two of them, Tiana calmly muttered, "I see, you guys are kissing." His tone was indeed calm, but his tone was hiding something terrible.
(He's angry. He must be angry. No, why was Tiana angry in the first place?)
As Kaizo showed a doubtful expression, Tiana quickly stood up. Facing Victoria, who was timidly flushed and sharply pointed her index finger at him.
"Let's fight, Victoria Blade!"
"Games?"
"Yes, the match, where the winner is the one who can love Kaizo."
"No-no, no way, not that kind of thing! Originally, Kaizo was mine!"
"I've said it's not that!"
Kaizo tried to cut their conversation, but the two of them didn't seem to hear it.
