The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 68: Next Wish
POV: Kirigaya Kaizo
_____________________________________
The next day, Kaizo wakes up in a bed in the medical room. He, honestly, did not remember much about what happened after that.
He had used his holy power excessively in using Nyx, and his consciousness had become blurred.
Noah Alnest is captured by the Hybrid Knights of the academy, who have rushed over, and is handed over to the Eldant military as a suspect of the incident.
That fake Demon King, who lost the power of his Blood Queen Rune Stone, no longer had the strength to resist.
The military spirit of the strategic class (Phoenix), who slept under the mine, was sealed back without any problems by Tiana who held the 'Kaguya' ritual of sealing back.
The above-ground temple was also completely destroyed by the Knights. There should never be another chance for it to reopen and appear on the surface.
The spirit of darkness, Alicia had disappeared the moment Noah's arm was cut off. That doesn't mean he's missing. That was what the pulsating spirit seal said, engraved on his left hand.
(Alicia, what are you trying to do?)
'Because that was his wish.' His former contracted spirit said that. And then, that he'll meet 'her' in the end.
(Who's that 'she' Alicia mentioned? Was he possibly referring to the 'other' Rei Assar participating in this round's Sword Style Festival?)
(After all, as long as I advance, I should be able to fight it!)
Their school rankings improved greatly due to the achievement of the S rank mission this time, but there were still many high ranking teams.
Moreover, even if they reached the «Style Festival of Sword», an elite champion team would be chosen, not only from this academy, but from every country on the continent.
(It's not the time to lie here.) Making a bitter smile, Kaizo tried to get out of bed.
At that moment, a soft sensation wriggled from under the blanket.
"N-nyx! You again,"
He turned the sheet in confusion. Nyx naked, not in bed.
"Tiana?" Kaizo left his mouth open. The one who was there was Tiana, who was wearing a uniform like a dress on her body.
"It's disappointing, I've been caught. Even so, I was thinking of playing things after this." The princess combed her glamorous black hair, and sweetly stuck out her tongue.
Peered by the upward gaze that lifted his hair, his face spontaneously flushed. "W-what, what are you doing?!"
"Fufuu, did you know that a princess of «Divine Obsession» Ritual knows various techniques to make spirits enjoy themselves?"
"You, what are you planning to do to me?!"
"I'm kidding. However, look, do you feel that your vitality is recovering?"
"Yes, sure?!"
He felt a kind of energy swell up all over his body. Normally, his divine power should not recover this much just by resting for about a day.
"It was the secret ritual of 'Kaguya' from «Divine Obsession» Ritual to distribute the sacred power of a princess maiden. However, in order to use it, our skin must stick together tightly. If you're offended, I'm sorry."
"I-I'm sorry, and thank you. However, you don't have to force yourself." Kaizo apologized in confusion.
She pretended to be an adult, but she was truly an innocent princess. After making her worry, she could not tell him to step aside.
"I'm not forcing myself. I did it because I like it." Tiana quickly turned around with her face still red.
"Hey, Tiana, is it okay for you not to return to the «Divine Obsession» Ritual?"
The reason he tried to participate in the Sword Style Festival should be to regain his contracted spirit power with the «want» given to the winner.
«That desire» has already become a reality, so it is already meaningless to stay in this academy.
"It's impossible to come back after all this time. Anyway, you know," Tiana combed her long black hair, and gently brought her face closer together. "I've got another «Wish» I want to grant."
"What's? What are your other wishes?"
"It's a secret."
There was a soft sensation on his cheek. As her cherry blossom lips pecked, it touched and gently left.
"You haven't given up on ensnaring me, have you?" Kaizo groaned with a flat look.
"Yes, right. This time I'm serious." The princess revealed a mischievous smile.
Suddenly the door opened slowly. There stood a beautiful girl with red hair bouncing coming.
"Ka-Kaizo!?"
It was Victoria who was carrying a lot of canned apple food. Looks like he came to visit her. He saw Kaizo, who was entangled with Tiana on the bed.
"You two, w-what are you doing?!"
"Wait a minute, this is a misunderstanding. Because it's not what you think it is,"
"Oh, Kaizo, what's misunderstood?" Tiana's words stuck tightly to Kaizo's body.
"Why are you pretending like that, like throwing firewood at the mouth of a volcano!?"
"Salamander, burn them!"
"Deus El Machina, get rid of that noisy girl!"
At that moment, Salamander and the armored knight emerged from the empty space. While Salamander looked intimidating, the knight unsheathed his sword.
"Hey, stop, this is a hospital room!" Such a shout from Kaizo was wiped out in vain by the loud noise of the clashing weapons.
The peaceful hospital room turned into a battleground for sword style training in a few moments.
