Eliza sighed, but quickly returned to her usual expression.
　She's great at separating and recovering quickly, and I think that's what makes her so attractive.

I'll leave it to others to educate the veterans.
Are you sure?
Anybody could have done that. More importantly, ...... you raise this kind of child, this kind of irreplaceable child.
"Yes, if Eliza says so,
"So, you're ...... Xiaomei, right?
"Ha, ha!

　Xiaomei chewed lightly and saluted the Emperor Eliza in an upright and immovable pose.

"My name is Xiaomei Mei!
"I want you to come to the palace right away.
Does that mean you're going to graduate and get a job?

　I asked on behalf of a nervous Xiaomei.

Yes I am. If you can do this, you won't have to study at a magic school anymore. I'm going to give you a skip grade.
"I see.

　I looked at Xiaomei.
　The will of the person himself is important in these matters.
　Xiaomei is not usually shy or assertive and I wanted to hear what she really thought - but.

I'm sorry.

　Contrary to expectations, Xiaomei insisted to Eliza with trepidation but without hesitation.

''I can't go to Your Majesty,''
"What?
I would also like to study a little more beside Mr. Alexander.

　The Emperor Eliza scowling, the little animal Xiao Mei staring back at it without flinching.
　The composition looks like a squirrel threatening a dragon before being eaten.
　They stared at each other for a while and then ...... Eliza snapped.

What do you mean?

　With a questioning but convinced tone of voice, Elisa sighed and said, "I'm not sure what to expect.

I don't know. ......

　And now look at me with dumbfounded eyes.

"Huh?　What?
It's nothing. Xiaomei, right?
"Ha, ha!
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not angry.
"Yes, yes ......
"I understand. Forget about that.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. ......
It's okay. If he was the cause of the problem, I'll have to accept it. Better yet, you should learn about it. I must have done something really good in a past life to be able to study with him, okay?

　Eliza pointed at me and said, "I'm sure Xiao Mei wanted to study with me.
　It's true that Xiaomei wanted to study with me as a reason for refusal, but that doesn't mean that the source of that is connected to me.

　I don't know, but we've settled the matter, so I'll leave it at that.

"-Hah!
What's wrong with you, Alec, you've changed your expression.
"This is ...... this magical anomaly--

　When I noticed it, I turned around and, out of the corner of my eye, from far away, there was an explosion.

　The ground shook a little later, a huge explosion so huge that smoke rose to the sky.

Don't!
"Hey Alec!

　Leaving Eliza and the others behind, I jumped out with my flying magic.

　I went to the center of the explosion at full speed and found myself in a dungeon on the grounds of a magic school.

　Smoke billowed out of the dungeon, and a group of students ran for their lives as if they were running for their lives.

What's going on?
"Ah, the vice emperor teacher ......

　One of the students looked at me and looked away awkwardly.
　You look familiar.
　They were just a few minutes ago in class, the finest students in the school of magic.

　All of them are seniors, and if you look closely--

They're all injured, and they're all badly hurt.

　One of the students, who had crawled away with the help of his fellow students, was seriously injured, even to the untrained eye, in the months.

What happened to him?　You guys know this dungeon very well, you've been going there for years and you can't get hurt like this. You know this dungeon well, you've been coming here for years.
"Ugh ......

　The uninjured students awkwardly turned away.

"Answer me!

　When pressed, one of the students replied timidly, "Let's test our strength.

"We're just going to test you.
"Test of strength?

With the magic that the Vice-Emperor taught me, I'm going to challenge the deeper levels that we don't normally dive into.
"At first it was going smoothly. But it caught me off guard.
"The next thing I knew, there was a tremendous monster in front of me ...... and we all worked together in a straight line and tried to defeat it ......



　One of them began to repent, and one by one the students explained the situation to me.

　Just then, the dungeon exploded again.
　A pillar of fire rose up from the ground, bursting through the dungeon's entrance and spewing heavenly fire.

Hihihi!

　The students were totally frightened.
　They were hunched over or slumped to the ground.

This is not good.
"Eliza!

　Eliza is catching up with me after I left her in the same place I just left her.
　The situation was immediately apparent to her and she had a serious look on her face.

Eliza stay away.
"Yeah. I'll have the guards waiting right outside the school, and I'll go get them.

　Eliza said and left the place at a fast pace.
　He was quick to judge.
　When Eliza decided that the students and teachers are no longer likely to be able to handle the situation at the student and teacher level, she immediately decided to summon the imperial guards.

　It's not wrong, it's the best decision Eliza can make.

　Boom!

　But the situation is getting worse at an accelerated rate.
　The third explosion, the entrance to the dungeon was further jumbled.

　I can feel the mighty magic approaching, coming out!　--. such momentum.

"Vice-Emperor!

　I jumped into the dungeon, leaving the astonished students behind.
　The moment I entered the dungeon, the dense magic almost choked me.

　But at the same time, it tells me where my opponent is.

　I went to the source of the magic.

　I soon came across my opponent.
　A man with six jet-black wings flapping on his back.

　We ran into each other, then stopped and stared at each other.

"You're a demon .......
"Ah An?　What's up with you, kid?

　The demon swung his hand out to the side.
　It's as if a winged insect flew in front of him, and he paid it off.
.
　A moment later, a lump of pure, pitch-black magic flew toward me.

　I quickly put up a magical barrier to block it.

　My hand went numb.

...... and you're unharmed now. Who the hell are you, kid?
"Alexander Carlyle. What is more, what are you?　Why do you do this?
I am Azazel. I will destroy everything that can be known and everything that can be done.
"Destroy all?
"I had no power because I was just reborn, but the kids have broken my seal. I will use this power to destroy everything.

　There was madness in Azazel's eyes as he spoke.
　So the students attacked in series with the increased magic, but it wasn't damage, it was some mistake that broke his seal.

　It happens all the time, and an attack is a mighty rush of power when you get right down to it.
　It can either blow up a body's tissues as damage or it can blow out the seal on the person.
　So in this case it was the latter.

　No, it's more than that.

"You shouldn't do that, because if you do that, after you're dead--
"I know, idiot.
"--What?
"You're trying to tell me that if you keep doing bad things, the next life will be a disaster, right?　I know because I've been forced to live a series of demons. Because I'm being forced to live a devil's life for the rest of my life.
It's ......
"The devil is an unbelievable feeling of pain in your body just to be alive. It's painful, it's hard, but a little bit won't kill you.
"......
I did something so bad a long time ago that I was made to be born a demon nine times in a row. I don't even remember what I did, and they made me remember just that. That's all I'm supposed to remember.
...... was.
"If I'm going to be forced to be reborn as a demon in the future, I'll do whatever I want at this moment when I have the power!

　It was very sad.
　She was desperate, desperate, telling herself that it didn't matter anymore.

　Maybe that's why the memory is still there, because it's a punishment.
　I was reborn as a demon no matter how many times I tried, an unending torment.
　No matter how many times I'm reborn, I can't escape the prison of my soul.
　Such a sad fate.

What?

　But that doesn't mean you can't .
　If you go around smashing random things you see now, the nightmare will continue.

　You won't be able to persuade him, and that's more than just rude.
　You're not going to convince him to shut up and accept his suffering.



　I asked the Philosopher's Stone.
　I asked the philosopher's stone, who has all the knowledge, which I carry with me always.

　A way to free us from suffering.
　The Philosopher's Stone taught me one way.

　A very difficult way, but.

It's the way to go.
"What the hell are you mumbling to yourself?

　Azazel flew at me.
　She came at me with a vicious face and skin-piercing murderous intent.

　I thrust out my hand, concentrating my magic on the tip of it.
　A life of SSS rank, so much magic that I could be a god if I chose.
　Keep it going and keep it coming out.

　The forefinger and middle finger are aligned, and the magic power is concentrated on the tip of the forefinger.
　The magic condenses into a dazzling, sunny little ball.

Ta-da.

　Azazel, startled but unable to stop the onrushing momentum.
　Cross-counter, thrusting a small sun into his body while parrying the attack.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

　Azazel clutched his chest and moaned.

"Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot--

　Struggling, writhing Azazel.
　Light leaked out of his body and enveloped his body.

　He became lightheaded.
　With all his magic drained, he couldn't stand.

Alec!
"...... eli, the

　It was Eliza, who came into the dungeon with her personal guard, who supported me from behind.

"You've been worn out to this point: ...... That demon is such a powerful enemy.

　Eliza raised her hand, and in response, she saw signs of the Emperor's guards moving.
　The military atmosphere and willingness to fight is as good as the Emperor's Guard.

It's all right, it's all over.
Well, you've already beaten that one, Alec.
"Nope.

　I took a deep breath and stood on my feet with effort.

I didn't knock him over.
"Huh?

　Together with an amazed Eliza, look at Azazel.

　A light surrounds him, and the light gradually fades and melts into his body.
　Eventually, after the light has completely subsided.

...... Huh?　Te, angel?

　surprised Eliza.
　Yes, there were the same six feathers as before, but it wasn't a demon, it was an angel.

What's this: ......

　Not only Eliza, but also Azazel was surprised.

"Does your body still hurt?
"Huh?　Oh, it doesn't hurt anywhere.
"Yes, thank goodness.
You... or did you?
"Yeah. There's no reason to destroy it now, is there?
"...... ah,

　Azazel, who is rapt, and Eliza .

Incredible ...... demon made an angel?　What the hell does that mean?

　For now, the demon crisis is over.
