Isekai Shoukan chapter 48: Now, the devil king subjugation
Kaede and I left the western style building and afterwards go to the huge castle like building that was wrapped in flames and the way until there was surrounded with flames, so I did digestive work by using ice magic.
“Kaede, it isn't too late now......why don't we return?”
In order for Kaede not to get burnt, I ignore the burning buildings and move to the burning vegetation and freeze them before I ask her about the circumstances. Of course I still rub my hips which still hurt.
“Not good Io-kun. Even if we return to the castle, isn't there the annoying Midou-kun? And when we try to go out the princess will obstruct it and when we go to a far place with only the two of us, then there will be people who will run after us!! Therefore I used the random transferation room intentionally......”
I have heard it before, but I can’t remember it well, therefore I rack my brain. And as soon as Kaede said that person's name, her mood became very bad and it was even visible on her face. She must really dislike that person.
(What? Midou......Midou......I seem to have heard it somewhere......no, never heard......ah, wasn't that the name of that certain hero!? Ah, now I know, now I know, it wasn't Miyoshi-senpai but Midou-senpai. Danger danger, I nearly called Midou-senpai Miyoshi-senpai)
“Naa, Kaede. How many random transferation rooms are there in the royal palace? I before......no, never mind. Don't worry about it"
Mentioning transferation room, I remembered the place when I was transferred before. I was thinking about it and almost talked about it unconsciously, but Kaede didn't seem to know about it so I judged that I better not tell her.
“Hmm? Well, if you don't say everything, I don't need to hear it......emm, I think that there is another transferation room. But because it was restricted, I don't know what kind of room it is......and it's amazing that only one wizard did this......emm his name was Davi......Devi......was it David? The name was recorded in one of the prohibited books and though it was erased there was one where the name wasn't erased"
“That, isn't it Davis”
Immediately after I heard Davi from Kaede´s mouth, I replied the real name.
“Ah, right Davis, Davis......what? Why does Io-kun know this name?"
Kaede asked me with a suspicious face, while she inclines her head.
“Emm......I met that old man for a moment. But it became long talk, when we talked with each other......”
Kaede's eyes were twinkling and she had the atmosphere that she wanted to talk about this a little.
Sometimes, you stop wanting others hear your own hardships!! Of course, the transferring thing will equivocate. Therefore I twisted the fact a little. Even a heroic tale will be altered by everyone who is telling it.
“Huuh......it was such a thing. Let's go to the devil king castle quickly!!”
Although it was a little dubious, she was immediately fine somehow, Her walking pace became faster at the same time as my voice increased too. No, maybe you may say that she is running already.
“What? Isn't it good? Do you not want to hear the story of Io-kun meeting a hero? Ah wait a minute! Why do you walk so fast so suddenly!! When the devil king seems strong let's run away quickly!! Promise! Please promise!!”
And though I made the town wrapped in flames changed into a ice world, we both still went straight to the devil king castle.
After Kaede increased her pace, we reached the devil king castle that was wrapped in flames in less than one hour. And the moment Kaede stopped walking right in front of the devil king castle as the last struggle, I throw out the thought I thought about.
“Ah, aa!! It seems I used too much ice magic and there may be not more than half of my strength left......I might also have a headache......”
I stagger my body by acting to the extent I thought I´m in bad condition and began to talk while depending on the wall.
Hu, Huhahahaha!! This is a malingering technique which is one of 15 secret principles that I cultivated for a long time by non-attending school and before I was summoned to this different world. This acting wasn't even seen through by the school nurse!! Kaede shouldn't be able to find out that this feigned illness is a lie!! I won this game!!
Although I performed impressively, so that the applause in my heart increased, however Kaede started to be confused looking at me and worried what she should do.
I judged now now is my biggest chance and uttered a complaint with some pressure.
“Ho, I would like to subjugate the devil king and I don't want to let you hear about my body condition......Uu......in this way I will trouble Kaede, so let's give up this time and return “Here Io-kun!!” ......he?”
When I hide my crying face with my hands, Kaede has tendered a container right in front of me from her bosom. It contained a acid-looking liquid and it was the same one Edith used at the black guild while shedding tears right in front of me.
“A......emm......Kaede......san? What on earth is this?"
I blinked my eyes nervously to an unnatural extent, while asking so.
“It's a potion!! Drink it and you will be fine!! Drink without holding back and if one doesn’t help, I have 15 of them with me!!”
That's probably true. I don’t feel any malice. However, her kindness pierced my heart and I was drunk from the delicious drink of victory. And
“Th, Thattt!? Caarreeffuull, something powerful is overflowing!! Alright, let’s do our best!!”
In order to not drink that acid-looking potion, I decided to do a squat so that Kaede knows that I'm healthy.
“......Io-kun are you really alright? Maa, if it's okay, I can go alone to subjugate the devil king!! Okay, our target is right in front of us!!”
“Uooooo!! Devil king subjugation! Hyuhhoi!! I am glad to go for the subjugation"
I was already in desperation while shedding tears.
