The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 88: Disappointment & Heartache
"I saw the silhouette of Salamander, and chased him all the way here."
"Eh?"
(W-does that mean he came looking for me?)
Victoria made an ambiguous face like anger, like trouble, and happiness. For now, since they were still in the middle of an argument, he did not know what kind of expression he should make.
(I-that's right, I can't make a sweet face here!)
The extremely arrogant Victoria had no intention of forgiving him until an apology came from Kaizo. For the master to apologize to the slave was something completely impossible to happen.
"Hmm, u-what are you coming for at this time ?!"
"You too, what are you doing in a place like this?" Kaizo asked looking confused.
"Bu-nothing, not that I'm looking for you."
"Ah, I definitely understand that, but...."
"Don't that mean you don't understand?!" Victoria nervously raised her whip. Then, he suddenly stopped doing it.
If he swung his whip here, it would end up the same as yesterday.
"Yeah, it's okay." Victoria took down the whip she lifted and roughly combed her hair.
Kaizo put on a blank look.
"Hey, Kaizo? Coincidentally, I'm off this afternoon."
"Is that so?"
"That's right. Yeah-so, err, buy me a cake or something in the coffee room or somewhere! You-if you do that, I have no choice but to forgive you, you know?" His cheeks flushed slightly, and he glanced at Kaizo with one eye.
Those words just now were the biggest compromise for this very arrogant Victoria. It's not like she wants to be treated like a cake. For Victoria, it was her plan to give her an easy reason to apologize.
Kaizo then says "What, how else" when she buys him the cake, and Victoria will say, "Hmm, I'll forgive you with this cake in mind" while shrugging her shoulders.
Just like that, he thought he could improve their relationship with such an atmosphere bit by bit.
(Maybe it's too late, but for a while, he did come to apologize. I'm not a child either, so I'll forgive her gently.)
"Sorry, I have to keep an eye on Academy City with Eve today."
"Oh, I get it. With Eve?" Victoria's face froze instantly.
"H-Hey, Kaizo. I didn't hear it very well, but what was that?"
"I told you, I have a Knight's job. I'll go around and guard the city with Eve." Kaizo clearly said it once again.
"Hey, Victoria?"
"O-oh? With Eve, it's a date, right." Victoria's voice was shaking everywhere.
"No, it's not a date, it's about Knights,"
"Oh, you're already a Knight dog, aren't you? That badge suits you, doesn't it?!" Victoria's angry. Her ponytail red hair was rustling, and she with a push like she was about to release a fireball in the near future.
"You, listen to me a little. You don't need to look at the Knights with that much hostility, do you?"
"W-what, don't say it like you understand!" Victoria flared up, and lifted her whip.
Suddenly a rather beautiful voice sounded. While Victoria was holding her whip overhead, she awkwardly averted her gaze.
"You, could it be that you haven't had lunch?"
"What, isn't it because you didn't make it for me?"
"The one who kicked me out is you."
"That's true, but...." Victoria glared at Kaizo, and groaned.
"Victoria, if it's okay with you, will you eat with me?"
"Eh?" Victoria widens her ruby eyes.
"Th-that, yeah...." His face turned red, and suddenly turned around.
"Ji-if you insist no matter what, I'm fine with that."
"Then, come on. I was eating with Eve and the others in the park there."
Victoria's temples twitch. "W-what are you saying, you, are you an idiot?!"
"I understand that you have a bad relationship with the Knights, but they are all normal girls. If you eat with them, won't you be on good terms with them?"
"Wouldn't it be about the former Knight captain, Eve wasn't that kind of person."
"What's? Eve this, Eve that!"
Victoria finally exploded. He was already at the limit of his tolerance. Releasing his elemental aero, he tightly grasped his flaming Fire Whip.
(He doesn't understand though. However, it is annoying that Kaizo is friendly with the Knights and Eve.)
"You are my slave spirit, so you are only mine!" His Fire Whip was swung as his emotions were told. However he stopped when a familiar voice sounded in his teliga.
"Stop it, Victoria Blade."
His flaming Fire Whip was entangled by a spear clad in strong winds.
"It's a violation of school regulations for normal students to use elemental aero in the city."
"Eve!?"
Eve who stood up like she was protecting Kaizo, glared at Victoria with a relentless gaze.
Victoria gnawed at her molars, looking annoyed. Large droplets of tears appeared on his clear pupils.
"Enough!"
"Eh?"
"Enough, idiot, do as you please!"
"H-Hey, Victoria, guah!"
Victoria threw a bag of chocolate with all her strength onto Kaizo's face.
"I hate people like you! Why don't you get along with Eve." Victoria shouted in a voice filled with tears and immediately ran away.

"Hey, wasn't that Victoria Blade just now?"
The upperclassman watched Victoria's performance run out of the alley. They were adamantine elementalists and mirror demon elementalists, who were up against Victoria's team yesterday.
The two of them glared resentfully at Victoria, who was running away.
"He's alone now. We are also outside the academy, where it is outside the eyes of the teachers."
The adamantine elementalist girl exchanged glances with the mirror demon girl.
"It's no use. Lookie! The male Elementalist and Knight Captain were all around."
It was then that Kaizo and Eve appeared, chasing after the fast-running Victoria and disappearing in the crowd.
"Currently, that male elementalist is joining the Knights, right?"
"Didn't they lack manpower due to the assault the other day? Compared to Miss Lucia's time, the quality of the Hybrid Knights also greatly decreased."
They were both former members of the Knights. Their confrontational relationship with the intrepid Victoria Blade also dates back to that period. That said, their behavior lacks the integrity to begin with.
For example, they were constantly abusing their authority as Knights to torture weaker students. After Eve became captain, she had expelled the two of them from the Knights.
"However, if it's just three underclassmen, we can,"
"You better rest. Even you two won't win against them even if you join."
The two of them quickly turned themselves away at the sound from behind.
A person, who stood there even without his presence being felt by the two elementalists, was an extremely beautiful jade-green haired girl.
"Hey, you two, don't you want more power?"
"What?"
"Amazing strength, as far as the princess Salamander of hell was concerned will not be."
Federation Corpse Merchant (Killer Union), Vivian Medusa's red pupils shone terrifyingly.
