The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Chapter 126.1



As the white-washed landscape regained its colour, I saw a row of red-earth coloured brick houses in front of me. I wonder if it’s the climate or the culture, but in this capital, it’s customary to build with bricks.

“Eh? This isn’t a meadow.” Eleonor looks around with curiosity.

“Where…..is this……?” Zeshia asks looking up at me.

“The capital of Zehenburg.” (Arnos)

“Wasn’t the entrance to Ahartherun in the Risharis meadow?” Sasha asks while looking around in interest.

“Do you remember the rumour that Nousgalia mentioned?” (Arnos)

“Errm let’s see. A mysterious fog hangs over the vast Risharis meadow that surrounds the city of Zehenburg and inside it, a mischievous spirit lurks. If you make them laugh, they will instantly reveal themselves and lead the way to Ahartherun, right?” (Sasha)

I nod

“That information alone is not enough to get us into Ahartherun.” (Arnos)

“No mention of conditions for fog.” Misha says while looking at me with her usual cold eyes.

“Aah. I guess he left it out because it wouldn’t be an exam if they taught you everything.” (Arnos)

“Looking for the fog rumour?” (Misha)

“Indeed. If there is a rumour about a mysterious fog that hangs over the Risharis Meadow then it is natural to assume that it is spreading in the capital of Zehenburg, which is the closest place to it. If we ask around we are sure to find someone who knows about it.” (Arnos)

We have God’s luck as well so it shouldn’t be too hard.

“Should we split up and ask around then?” (Sasha)

Usually, it’s not a good idea to be separated but it’s not a problem in this city.

A quick check with my demon eyes shows that Nousgalia is behaving himself in the Risharis meadow.

Even if enemies show up they won’t be an issue.

“Should we divide into four groups? Ray and Misa can take the north side of town. Eleonor and Zeshia take the east and fan union try the west. Well, I say that but don’t be too concerned about staying in the area. Misha and Sahsa, you can come with me.” (Arnos)

I cast <Guys> on everyone so I could see what they were seeing.

“We’re off then.” Ray and Misa wave and leave.

“We’re going to ask around about the mysterious fog Zeshia. Understand?” (Eleonor)

“…..Ask……around…… Do you know about the mysterious fog?” (Zeshia)

“Uh-huh, like that. That’s great.” (Eleonor)

They both set off with Eleonor running practise questions by Zeshia.

“We’re off too, Arnos-sama!”

“I’m pretty sure there’s a Unification branch in this city, so let’s go there.”

“They said in a previous correspondence that they wanted a picture of Arnos-sama, so I’m sure we’ll get whatever information we need in exchange.”

“If that doesn’t work, I can always read this book about the saga of Arnos-sama to them…….”

“Isn’t that book heavily dramatised? Would that be okay?”

“This is the beginners one. You won’t be embarrassed showing this to anyone.”

“Can I see it?”

“Kyaaa! Ecchi!”

“What the hell are you writing!? Which part is for beginners!? Show me!”

The fan union left in a cloud of noise.

“Arnos book?” Misha tilts her head to one side.

“You are someone who doesn’t need to know anything about that for as long as you live Misha.” (Sasha)

Misha and Sasha line up on either side of me.

“Nee. If you’re coming with us does that mean you think one of us is most likely the child of God?” (Sasha)

“Not particularly and there’s not much to choose between you. Misha created the power of a pseudo god and your demon eyes have the potential of looking even further into the abyss than they can now.”

We talked as we walked and Sahsa looked like she wanted to say something further but she shut her mouth.

“If I’m the child of God.” Misha stares darkly at the ground while talking “and my orders are to destroy Arnos. Then I’m ready” she says matter of factly.

Sasha turns to me.

“It’s not like Misha and I are going to give up anytime soon. But if it turns out there’s nothing I can do about it, I’ll return the life you gave me there.” (Sasha)

*Kuhaha* I laughed

“We’re serious you know.” (Sasha)

“I know and that’s why I laughed.” (Arnos)

Sasha pouts a little dissatisfied.

“Why?” (Misha)

“Did you honestly think I’d forgotten the wishes you made that day.” (Arnos)

Misha and Sasha fall silent at my words

“Let’s say Misha was born with God’s intention to destroy me, and you were caught up in that unreasonableness. Misha grew up as a child that didn’t exist and Sasha continued to be heartbroken by it, however, finally, these last three months both of you have been able to laugh.” (Arnos)

I stop walking so I can impart my words to them clearly.

“You think I’m going to destroy that? Don’t make me laugh. I’m not going to spare a single thought on who should be destroyed.” (Arnos)

I open both my hands and offer them to the girls.

“I told you. I will destroy the unreasonable things that stand in your way. If God brings tragedy to you, I will destroy him. If the order of this world is the source of tragedy, then I will destroy that order.” (Arnos)

Misha and Sasha stare at my offered hands.

Take my hand if you believe in me more than God.” (Arnos)

Without hesitation, they both take my hands.

“Don’t ever let go of me. As long as you hold my hand, I will always save you, no matter what happens.” (Arnos)

Misha nods.

“I’ll never let go.” (Misha)

Sasha looks straight at me.

“I promise too.” (Sasha)

I laugh again.

“Good answer. Don’t forget it.” (Arnos)

I let go of their hands and we begin walking again.

After walking for a while we hear an angry voice.

“You’re a little girl! I don’t know if you’re an informant or what, but don’t interfere with our business by spreading bad rumours about us!!”

I looked over and saw a small man who looked like a merchant, accompanied by several stern men, who had kicked a girl to the floor.
