198-hero of justice




 The second teaching hall.
 When the Cutthroat King, who had finished explaining the magic art formula with a fierce gesture, was searching for students who would be put into practice immediately, the bell to announce the end of the class rang.

''Mm. It's the end of the day. I'm not going to be able to do anything more than that. Do not neglect to review the magic we just taught you. I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm not the only one. I'm not going to be able to get a hold of you. Ka Ka Ka Ka!

 With a high smile on his face, Eldmead left the classroom in a good mood.

'No one would do that without being told...'

 Sasha blurts out a tweak.

''I mean, my head hurts and I'm dizzy, but isn't this a failure...?''

 Sasha died twice in her swordsmanship class.
 Of course, he was quickly revived by .

"It's probably just death poisoning. If you're not used to death, it's quite common. It's partly a matter of constitution, but, well, you get used to it straight away.

''I don't want to get used to this at all...''

 Feeling sick, Sasha plopped down on the desk.
 Misha walked over and gently stroked her head.

'Why is Misha okay?'

 She shook her head as she shook her head.

'Everyone is more energetic.'

 Misha raises her gaze.
 Ray, Misa, Eleonor, and Zesia looked exactly the same as usual.

'I'm used to dying, you know.

'Well, I, you see, I seem to be totally fine with it, since the rumor and lore is Avos Dilhevia. I don't have any experience with it, though...

 Ray and Misa uttered that.

'Is it because I'm good at root magic? And besides, it's the magic of a demon king.

 Eleonor holds up his index finger.

'Zethia was............................ I'm fine.........

 Sasha looks at them with a resentful look.

''It's not fair........ I wonder if brave men are good at dying...?

 As he says it, Sasha stands up.

'Hey. Do you want to go to a café? I need something cold and sweet to drink.

 Misha nodded his head.

'Yes, yes, I agree. If possible, it would be nice to have some drinks.

 Eleonor said happily.
 In his head, he was already calculating what to drink.

'A drink after school is........exceptional.......'

Oh, don't drink Zecia yet. Let's have a non-alcoholic cocktail.

'....Zesia is still...patient....

 Zecia says in frustration.

'I don't know if there's ever been a place that serves alcohol at this hour.

 Ray asks Misa.

''Well I don't drink, so I have no idea...''

 Sasha gives me a look.

'Anosh is going too, right?'

 Moving her face closer, she continued, whispering.

'If we go back to Anos and join you, they won't think it's weird.

Hmm. Unfortunately, I have a prior engagement.

What...?

 As Sasha gave her a questioning look, a boy in black came over to us.
 'It's Ramon.

'Let's go, Anosh.

Yeah.

 He gets out of his chair and says to Sasha and the others.

'I've received an interesting offer.

 Sasha gives Ramon a pitying look for a moment.
 Immediately she whispered to me again.

''........I'm just sorry that I asked you to come over.......''

 I'll respond with a lecherous smile.

'I'll see you later.'

 He said and walked over to Ramon.

'So, where are you going?'

That's the fun part, right?

 Ramon says thoughtfully.

 I guess he's afraid to talk about it in the classroom.
 Maybe he can take you to the resistance's hideout.

 At the very least, they could meet the remnants of the royalists.

 Just then, the door opened with a mighty rush.
 Eight girls with familiar faces, eight members of the Fun Union, jumped in as if they were jumping in.

''........Well, you're in time!

 Ellen turned her gaze to the students as she shouted, "I'm sorry," and then turned her attention to the students.
 Next, she smiled shyly when she saw that there was no one in the pews.

'Oh, that? Not in time...?

You don't have a teacher...

But maybe it's time for a break.

'Is it that time? Wasn't that your last class in time?

 The girls of the Fan Union say with their mouths.
 The Demon King's Choir's official duties must have dragged on, and they must have been late.

 I called out to the girls who looked puzzled.

It's a pity. We've just finished today's class just a few minutes ago.

Oh, yeah, right. Thank you.

 When Ellen looked at me, she stopped talking and froze.

'.......Anos-sama ah!

 She said loudly.

'How could you be so cute and not so cute and not so delicious... and not so drooling?

Oh, relax, Ellen. I was just rephrasing it, but you're getting profane!

Oh, well, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, but, well, how did you get little? And besides, what? How did you get to school...!

 Hmm. You've got a lot of hidden roots and you've spotted them at a glance.

I'm sorry, but you have the wrong guy. I'm Anos Porticollo, the new kid on the block.

"...Anosh Porticolo...? But...?

 The girls in the Fun Union stare into my face.
 No matter how you look at it, they just say it's Anos.

''.........Anos.......? Smaller...?

 Ramon mutters.
 And then he gives me a suspicious look.

 Hmm. It's not good to be too suspicious. And I'm sure he'll be very careful about taking me to the Resistance.

 But I'm not in a hurry.

 I have some good people under my command.
 I've got some good people under my command," he said, turning to Sasha and pleading with his eyes to do something about it.

 Even though she had such a nonsensical look on her face, Sasha must have worked her head at high speed, because she immediately opened her mouth.

'Already. What are you talking about, Ellen? You miss Anos so much that you see everything as Anos, don't you?

...e.......uh....

I remember you talking to the statue the other day about Anos. I know you admire Anos, but at least do it at home.

 For a moment, Ellen looked like she had just come to her senses.

'I did it again!

 Without a moment's hesitation, the other fan unions rushed at her.

''Already. There it is again, Ellen's Anos-sama deficiency.''

Really, really, if I find anything that looks even remotely like Anos, I'll turn it into Anos.

You said something about the orchestra's conductor's rods resembling Lord Anos the other day.

What's the difference between you and...

Because Anos didn't outlaw idolatry!

What's the point? Besides, you can't idolize people in general.

 Looking at the rumbling Fan Union, Ramon's gaze soured in a completely different way than before.

''But Anosh-kun, you look like Anos-sama, don't you? See, like the eyes?

 Once again, Ellen stares into my face.

'Relatives or something?'

You're the royal family. You can see the resemblance.

It's like Master Anos.

What? I'm a traveling entertainer. Lately, I've only recently learned to imitate the tyrannical demon king. It's a habit I'll never outgrow.

 Then, as if fearful, Ellen says, "Well, then, Anosh.

Then, Anosh. Then, Anosh, would you like to imitate something?

All right.

 I leapt and stood on the podium and said proudly.

'I am Anosh Porticolo, the Demon King of Tyranny. Just because I'm a child doesn't mean I'm not a demon king.

'Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

 With a yellow scream, Ellen holds me in her arms.

''Anosh-sama, you're too cute!

 She stroked my head as she pressed her cheeks and cheeks against mine with a gurgling motion.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I want to have it too, Anosh-sama. It's not fair to take them all for themselves!

'No, no, not so fast. Besides, you don't allow people to worship idols, do you?

 As if he wouldn't give me away, Ellen prepared herself while hugging him.
 There was a shadow creeping up behind it.

"There's an opening!

 And Nono snatched my body and hugged me tightly.

Shall we go home together?

Hey, that's not fair! And I want to borrow Master Anos!

 This time Jessica takes me and holds my face tightly.

'Take turns! Seven seconds each! The place of the touch conforms to rank B. Oh, hey mya, that's rank A!

Here's my proposal. Equal opportunity, Master Anos. Let's give it to him.

 A moment later, the eyes of the girls glowed suspiciously as Gillangsheng's eyes flashed.
 Their movements were swift. The eight Fun Union girls neatly formed a circle of eight and then turned me around like a relay.

''Form a circle and turn me around!

Mr. Anosu, send it in.

We'll have fun!

Master Anosu.

 And so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on.

 But as expected, this is the first time they've been treated like this.
 The only reason why the Demon King of Tyranny can do this much is because there is peace. 

''That's as good as it gets. If these women are so disrespectful, they wouldn't think Anosh was Anos, would they?''

 Ray says in a whisper.

'....or rather, it looks like you're taking that as a good thing and unleashing your desires...'

 Sasha was glaring at the Fun Union girls as if she was slightly angry.

''Hmm. Is it time to go?''

Oh, I'm sorry, Master Anos.

 The Fun Union girls took three steps back from me, as if they were afraid.

If I could be the Demon King's idol, I'd take it any day.

 With that, I went back to Ramon.

"Sorry to keep you waiting.

Oh, no...

 Ramon didn't know what it was, but he had a look on his face that said he had seen something amazing.

''Well, well, those guys always seem to make no sense like that, so don't worry about it. Let's go.

Yeah.

 We left the second training ground.
 As we walked out of the Demon King's Castle, Ramon walked straight through the traffic of Midhays.

 We're headed in the direction of the Necron family.
 It was a section where many of the mansions of some of the most powerful people in Dillhade were located.

 Maybe the big boys are chewing on it more than I thought.

"Anosh.

 At the trident, Ramon stopped.

'I thought you admired the Imperialists ... the righteous, right?

Yeah.

I know that justice of the peace, as a matter of fact.

 Ramon whispered, as if talking privately.

'That's interesting. Will you let me meet you?'

''If you say you admire him, I'd like to introduce you to him, but the position of the righteous is also quite difficult. Now, the Imperialists are being watched by the tyrannical demon king. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has been in a position to do this, because even if you try to do any sort of activism, you'll be crushed by Mid-Haze's army. Do you know what that means?

I think it's all about trust.

You know what I'm talking about, you're a kid. You're right. If we don't know who's out there, we'll be down and out in a heartbeat.

 Ramon draws a magic circle.
 It's the magic of the Zekt.

"If you take me to my people, you'll have to swear an oath of brotherhood with me. Pretend you've always been my brother, and my people will believe in you.

 Hmm. You are indeed not foolish enough to take him away unconditionally.

"That's fine, but can Ramon trust me after meeting you just today?

You're not a bad person. I can see it in your eyes.

 Hmm. Well, I guess that's a lie.
 Maybe Ramon is in a low position in the resistance. That's why he's in such a hurry to get the job done.

 There's a good chance that he thinks that with my abilities that I've shown in class today, I'll be able to rise to a higher position in the Imperialist Party. Otherwise, they wouldn't take the risk of taking me into their ranks after just meeting me.

But, of course, just because you can trust them in your heart doesn't mean that's all that matters in the world of an adult. This contract is the content of the contract that you will definitely listen to my orders. If you sign this, from now on I'll make you meet the person I trust the most. How about it?

 Ramon suggests.
 The fact that he seems so nervous is probably why he is so desperate.

 He doesn't want to miss out on the opportunity that has come his way.

''No matter.

 When I signed the Zekt without hesitation, Ramon looked relieved as I signed the contract. 

It's a pleasure to work with you, brother.

I'll take care of it.

 With a somewhat bouncy gait, Ramon headed straight for the triggers.
 What came into view was the residence of the head of the Angart family.

 The head of the Angert Family is a direct descendant of the Seven Demon Imperial Elders and is also involved in the political affairs of Mid-Haze. He was also trusted by Demon Emperor Elio, and as I recall, he wasn't an Imperialist.

 Apparently, the face behind the scenes was different.

''What do you think? Even you, as a kid, know where we are, don't you?

The Angarts, right?

Heh, you know what I mean. Let's go. I'll take you to meet your master.

 He walked into the mansion with Ramon.
