Chapter 373
「This is bad . There’s no way I can win . 」
Uncle Demon King nodded to the words of the minotaur who already declares that he’ll lose .
「Understand . You understand well . However, you should also know that you can’t escape . 」
「De-Demon King-sama… . 」
The marquis started making a commotion .
「That’s cheating, right? RIGHT?」
He grabbed the witness of the duel, Uncle Beezel .
「No . It is not against the rules since other than the involved parties, anyone else can be a fighter . 」
「But」
「Marquis, you are still in a good situation since it was demon king-sama who came out . 」
「Eh?」
「You calculated it like this, after winning the duel, the other party will apologize which saves your house’s face . However, you forgot that all of this was caused by your son . 」
「Y-you’re right」
「Demon king-sama understands your intention too . From your point of view, that is the most peaceful solution . Even the rule of this duel where both parties involved have to nominate others is something you cook in order to protect your son . 」
「Then」
「On top of that, you must understand that there is a reason why demon king-sama himself got involved in this to crush your calculated plan . 」
「Could it be… . it will be bad if I win?」
「Understanding the situation up to that is enough . You don’t need to know more . Continue the duel till the end . Don’t make things worse than this . 」
「… . . I, I understand . 」
「Leave everything to me . 」
Uncle Demon King won four matches in a row .
He also has enough leeway to even give the losers advice .
I’m surprised .
He’s so strong .
I didn’t even think he could win… .
To be honest, he’s so cool .
Sil and Bron, who’s next to me, are also full of admiration for him .
He was never like this when he’s in the village .
And, he’s now fighting his fifth opponent .
After receiving all the attacks of the opponent, he defeated him in one blow .
We won but no one thought of that at the moment . Everyone’s busy praising Uncle Demon King .
There are three people next to us who are not celebrating .
One of them is the captain of the police of the royal capital . He was sent by Uncle Randan .
「We didn’t have our turn . 」
Another one is a general dispatched by Uncle Glatts .
「No matter which opponent will come forward, that person is destined to lose… . I already know that this will happen after the result of the draw lots . 」
The last one is Hou-oneesan .
「I thought I could relieve some stress . 」
I apologize for troubling you .
And thank you very much .
There’s one more .
When we first came to this school, we met this blonde, drill haired girl .
Before I knew it, she’s already a member of our club and our last fighter for this duel .
Without her, we would have lost by default .
Thank you very much .
Somehow, the duel ended with our victory .
However, before the witness of this duel, Uncle Beezel, declares our victory, Uncle Demon King announces something .
「I would like to express my gratitude to both parties for giving me a place to show my strength However, isn’t your acting a bit stinky?」
In contrast, the marquis replies,
「It looks like we were found out . I’ve always wanted demon king-sama to show his prowess in this duel . I’m sorry for the trouble . 」
「Fuh, don’t mess with students too much . I’ll reward both sides . 」
「Ahaha . I’m extremely honored . 」
The marquis bows .

Uncle Demon King looks at us next .
……ah .
「Thank you very much . 」
It was for our own benefits .
After we bowed, the crowd disbanded .
And we were taken to the principal’s office without being able to do anything else .
And there are diplomas dated two days ago that were handed to us .
「You guys graduated from school two days ago . That’s what happens . 」
… . eh?
When I heard the principal’s explanation, it seems like because being a student is a bad status .
The duel itself has become disgraceful but the fact that a marquis lost in a duel can’t be overturned .
The duel is fair but it is bad for students to beat a marquis .
That itself will lead the order of the demon king’s kingdom to fall into chaos .
Normally, we shouldn’t have won the duel .
There shouldn’t have been a duel in the first place . Things should have been settled before a duel was proposed .
From the marquis’ point of view, it’s a way to wipe the butt of his son after the scandalous thing he has done .
The marquis’ side goes out strongly so we should have taken a step back .
After that, we will receive a nuisance fee in the form of alms from the marquis’ side and things will end .
We lost on the outside but we got loot from the marquis from the inside .
「The marquis has been too used to court struggles . It is unreasonable for him to expect that new students know the flow . 」
We agreed to the sighing principal .
「I understand that you can’t lose because you carry the name of Village Five but you should be more careful when dealing with nobles especially when it is a marquis . 」
「Ehto」
「It is easy to understand, right? If you are dealing with troublesome prey, you need to prepare carefully . 」
「Ah, yes, we understand . 」
「Anyway, this time, both sides have mistakes . The marquis challenged you to a duel . You guys accepted the duel . Now, with the order of the demon king’s kingdom, you graduated . This is already decided . 」
「… . . Understood」
「With that in mind, I’ll consult you about something . You have been hired as school teachers since yesterday . Are you willing to continue with this story?」

「Hou」
Translation: What do you mean?
「The school is understaffed . I think it’s a shame to let go of talented people . 」
Translation: I’m still unwilling to let you graduate . The school must protect the students .
「Interesting」
Translation: Areh? Isn’t that against the principal’s decision?
「It is not interesting」
Translation: That’s an instruction from the demon king’s kingdom . I can’t refuse so I thought of something else to make you stay at school which is hiring you as teachers .
「My apologies . It is not that we don’t want to continue but… . what are we going to teach?」
Translation: Do we only have to continue what we have been doing?
「I’ll leave it to you . I hope you can create a new wind in this school . 」
Translation: Just turn your club into a class . That’s enough . Also, teachers can take classes from other teachers .
「We will try to meet your expectations, principal . 」
Translation: We can’t report that we were kicked out of school in less than a month… . We have no choice but to undertake . Please take care of us from now on .
Thus, we became school teachers .
「Gol-sensei」
It sounded ticklish .
Sil and Bron are equally shy .
It’s hard until you get used to it .
However, there is one problem .
One of our purposes in coming to school is to find a wife .
Since we have become teachers, students of this school are no longer eligible… .
What the heck .
「You don’t have to worry about that, do you?」
Though Sil says that casually, I can’t agree .
「Village chief said, there are various problems in a relationship between a teacher and a student so don’t even think about it . 」

「I-is that so? Then, you can only propose after the other party graduate . 」
「Eh? What do you mean “me”? Could it be that you already found someone?」
「A,ahaha… . no, still, in the process of understanding each other . Oh, I’m not the only one . That fellow Bron is with the receptionist oneesan… . 」
… . .
I was left out .
I-I have to hurry up .
「No no, we still don’t know if things will work out for both Bron and I so you can take it easy . 」
「T-that’s right . Come to think of it, have you heard anything from the principal? Did she finally find Uncle Michael’s store? 」
「It will take more time . I was even asked if the store really exists . 」
「She hasn’t found it yet? That’s regrettable . I’d like to send a letter to the village soon . 」
「We have no choice but to ask a caravan . 」
「If that’s the case, it will take a lot of time and it won’t be sure if it will reach the village . We should send at least three . To be sure, we might even need to send five letters…」
「Why are you hesitant? Are you worried about the cost?」
「I’m not worried about that . We still have money from village chief . In addition, we’ll receive lesson fees as teachers . 」
「From the paying side to the being paid side . By the way, what about out tuition that Yuri-sensei paid?」
「It will be fully refunded but we can’t spend it . We have to give it back to Yuri-sensei . 」
「I know . When will we receive our class’ fees?」
「I heard it will be after 10 more days . 」
「Then, when we receive the class’ fee, let’s write a letter and have a caravan send them . If you find Uncle Michael’s store by then, let’s ask them to send the letters for us . 」
「Alright . Let’s write letters then . Let’s do our best in building a house first . 」
「Yeah」
Our activity changed from club to class but the club continues as a club .
Presently, in addition to our house, the construction of a large bathroom and an outdoor kitchen sped up .
「What happened to the negotiation with the school in making a big bathroom a school facility?」
「Given that any student can use it, we have to make it a big bathroom . But Bron said that it won’t be possible considering the amount of water it needs and the fuel cost . 」
「Isn’t he just using this chance to get in touch with the receptionist oneesan?」
「… . by the way, who are you interested in?」
「Come on, let’s do our best to build a house . 」
「Don’t cheat . I only want to know to serve as reference . 」
「Ahahaha . Some other time . 」
