Chapter Index



    I should have thought about it one more time. (2)



    “Woohuhu~♬ Soybean paste stew~ Egg roll~”

    Yuria, who was humming in a nasal voice that had no clue what melody it was and spouting lyrics of unknown meaning, was currently cooking in an apron in the small kitchen of her dorm.

    And I was sure that her apron reached up to her calves when she opened it in front of me, but for some reason, it only went down to her thighs, like a child’s apron.

    Really, that’s a scary pocket of caring and motherhood.

    ‘Heh. And today your caring and motherly nature exploded.’

    Without realizing it, I mock myself and slowly turn my head to look at the blue sky outside the window and change my thinking.

    The Royal Academy is probably out for outdoor training by now.

    I don’t know if today is day 1, day 2, or if it’s already over, but news about it will soon reach the Empire.

    – Frisian Royal Academy, external training demon attack incident.

    In the first year, it wasn’t that big of a news story as they only dealt with humans who were mere subordinates of the demons and insects that were the weakest among the demons, and the main characters also lost their sense of crisis about the demons they could defeat with their own strength, but in this incident, This is a story that reaffirms what kind of being demons are, why they are the main enemy, and creates awareness and anger towards that main enemy.

    In the first year, Ellis was a heroine who started to think and fight little by little after discovering that it was a demon who killed her mother, while in the second year, Nora was in the spotlight, and it was also a story that showed a dark magician’s awakening and a sub-lover relationship.

    For reference, Nora is a sub-couple with the crown prince, and Ellis is a heroine who competes with the princess of Frisia for Raoul’s love.

    Are they like catfights before becoming a harem?

    Anyway, I wasn’t very interested in a relationship that couldn’t happen even if the second time in my life became a reality, and I don’t know the extent to which these two people go around salting it.

    What was important to me was their survival and growth.

    And I shortened this story a little.

    As soon as I entered school, I immediately beat up the demon I encountered in the Red Magic Department, then retrieved all the bomb magic tools and materials he had and handed them over to our magic tower.

    Of course, I became trash in the process, but I couldn’t help it.

    If I accused that bitch of being a demon, everyone’s growth would be ruined, and I could be found out that I was deliberately calling myself a villain.

    ‘Still, the explosion of 70 academy students is crossing the line.’

    Thanks to this, I suffered more abuse than I should have, but the difference between the lives of 70 people and my loss of not even suffering mental damage through self-hypnosis was too great to weigh, and I still do not regret that choice.

    I’m just a little worried.

    ‘Nora and Albert, you’ll have to endure it well.’

    This story is a battle that reveals the true worth of the black magician Nora, and at the same time, it is a ‘defeat confirmed’ story that becomes a turning point in which she herself tries to overcome her weaknesses.

    The demons that those two will be dealing with are of a slightly lower level than the Cutlass I faced a few days ago, but they are still demons at level 5 in black magic.

    It even learned and imitated the ‘trap’ from humans.

    So, in this reality, not a novel, I just hope that those two people survive without being seriously injured and join the reinforcements, professors, and knights to drive out the guy.

    ‘We have taken the maximum measures possible. Albert is not a nerd, so if it’s dangerous, he’ll give Nora the magic pouch he confiscated from me. If you give me just that, Nora will probably be able to survive on her own.’

    -Kwaak.

    Without realizing it, I held my hand tightly and looked at the sky, so I immediately opened the status window.

    Well, I’m under self-hypnosis, but it looks like I’m really worried.

    I can’t control my emotions a little.

    “Ta-da~ Sister’s home-cooked breakfast for Rudis~!”

    “… Oh.”

    While everyone was worried, my sister’s cooking was completed, and I expressed my gratitude for the self-hypnosis magic.

    Surely, my expression would be blank by now.

    “How about it? Yesterday, while I was on a date with Loretta, I heard that Rudis really liked home-cooked meals while I was away, so my sister got the recipe and cooked it~”

    “Haha, sister.”

    “Huh~?”

    “Have you seen the liver?”

    “No~?”

    But why is it so bright?

    I wanted to argue, but I just nodded as I watched the chick drawn on her apron stretch sideways and become a chicken.

    Haha, why is the soybean paste soup purple?

    The ingredients included are only those that go into miso soup, such as tofu and pumpkin.

    And how come the egg rolls are gray?

    If it had been burnt black, I would have thought it was burnt, but really, it makes my chest feel so magnificent that I feel like I’m going to explode and die.

    “Heh. Sister.”

    “Huh?”

    “If you feed me the delicious breakfast that my sister made, I don’t think I will regret it one bit in my life.”

    “Huh! Are you hoping for? Huh?!”

    “Yes!”

    “Wow~ Our Rudis is such a fool~”

    I made up my mind and hoped for my sister.

    I’m going to die anyway, and I want to die feeling my sister’s generous and maternal heart in order to die gracefully.

    -Sigh~

    “Now, ang~”

    “Ah~”

    Please, I hope my childhood friend Nora is safe.

    At the very least, I hoped that everyone would get to the other side later than me, and I buried my face into the purple miso soup as I felt a soft touch on my arm.

    *

    “[Black Hand][Sword of Darkness][Barbed Needle]!!!”

    “Ahahaha! That’s amazing. Is this a disciple of the Black Magic Tower Lord? So, what level is a master disciple? Really, I’m glad it’s gone!!”

    Black magic and magic collide, disappear, and appear again, flying through the air and stretching across the ground to interfere with each other’s goals.

    However, both sides clearly understood that this battle, with one side only defending one-sidedly and the other leisurely continuing to attack, did not have much time left.

    -Pusss.

    “… Ugh!!”

    “The catalyst is gone. Should I wait until you take it out?”

    Even though she said that, the demon attacked and immediately canceled the next black magic spell as if it had no intention of waiting. In the end, fresh blood flowed down Nora’s face as she defended herself with a chant without a catalyst.

    “Hahahaha!! Humans are truly foolish. Why on earth are you trying to protect something else when you yourself are weak?”

    “Shut up… !!”

    The same attack and defense continues as I swing the last intermediate catalyst, which I bought from my senior at the Magic Tower, and use magic again.

    The opponent’s black magic level was clearly higher than hers, but Nora felt that if she could just cancel the chant, she could fight like this all day.

    but.

    ‘no. This catalyst, 7 more… !!’

    She planned to hold out until help arrived somehow, but Nora clenched her lips to the point of bleeding when the support came much later than she expected.

    And contrary to her and Rudis’ wishes, unfortunately, no one knew about the situation here other than the people here.

    The reason was that the demons who had ambushed them were planning to plant bombs in other places to not only kill the crown prince and Nora, which was their ‘as a demon’ goal, but also to kill other students.

    And if it had exploded, the incident would have occurred in all training areas, and the professors and nearby knights would have confirmed the abnormality.

    However, the current situation is that Rudis has taken all the bombs from the demons in the beginning.

    In other words, the incident was scaled down and even Albert, who was running away to report it, collapsed, so the battle that took place here was not spread to others.

    ‘twice? No, there’s only one left… !!’

    -Pusss.

    “Kyaaaak?!!”

    In the end, Nora, who was unable to activate the chant cancellation due to the catalyst disappearing after expending all the attempts, black thorns sprouted on her shoulders and let out a terrible scream, and the demons saw her like that and laughed at her through ‘imitated’ behavior. It rang.

    “Ahahahaha! Pathetic!! Without a catalyst, is this all it’s worth? If the number of disciples of the tower master is this high, I think that even if a few demons gather together, they can kill the black magic tower master?”

    She had no intention of doing so, but like a demon who only learned to say things the other person didn’t want to hear, she spat out words that got on the nerves of the defeated Nora, and approached her leisurely, as if she was showing off on purpose.

    I didn’t have those feelings, but I just thought it was ‘demon-like’ to kill her in a painful and miserable way.

    “It’s over now, what should I do? Should I pull your hair out? Or from those pretty limbs? How about I let you decide?”

    “… Keueuugh.”

    Nora, who was pinned by a black thorn and unable to respond, was moaning, and as she looked at the face of the demon, or rather the woman, in front of her, unjust tears flowed.

    How did it end up like this?

    Could it be that ‘this woman’ was a demon? Could it be that he knew this?

    No, if I had known, I would have definitely told you. Definitely back then.

    -Ah, the student council is here. yes? Why did you hit him? Because it made me angry.

    -You talk like shit. If a human bastard talks like a human, you should listen like a human, but when you ask him to look at something, he just repeats like a broken radio, saying no. Nora, do you think so too?

    – Mr. A. done. Is there anyone who understands my heart? I leave it alone and it keeps coming back~

    Rudis had talked about it.

    This woman just kept repeating answers that didn’t seem human.

    What if he felt something was wrong because this demon had not yet learned much at the time?

    What on earth did I do when I verbally abused him at that time?

    When I remembered that, I felt so unfair, miserable, and sorry that tears flowed.

    Of course, there was a high possibility that he did it without knowing, and I knew that it was a pathetic accident that gave meaning to his actions belatedly, but the current situation showed that Rudis was right that day.

    And above all, the fact that this woman, who gave the decisive testimony that led to his exile, was a demon was horribly miserable.

    “Haha, it’s so pathetic. Okay, I’ll start by plucking out those pretty black eyes. I’ll have to process it and pretend to carry catalysts like a human. Would you like to send the other side as a gift to your teacher? what do you think about it? If the stupid magic tower master who raised his disciple so weakly loses his temper and goes on a rampage, wouldn’t it be easier to kill him?”

    “Hmm… Sigh. nah. Buy, save… “

    -okay? Master is our father. You and I can tolerate cursing ourselves, but we cannot tolerate cursing our parents. You shouldn’t tail the bastard who threw Padrip.

    -… Not your mother?

    -How can a person who drinks alcohol all the time and beats kids with alcohol… Oh my mom is here… Nora! Save me… ?!!

    Even in moments like these, you are harsh with me and tell me not to give up.

    -Click.

    “[Dark Magic][Lv. 1][Black Hand]… !!”

    “Hey?”

    You’re strict.

    The memory of the man I sent away, the man I banished, to the enemy who insulted his teacher.

    Don’t be defeated by the enemy who wants to kill you, or the enemy who has said that he will kill my teacher with a force more overwhelming than mine.

    I urge him not to lower his tail and not to beg for his life.

    In my memory, the trashy man who had repeatedly insulted me and wanted to kill me had never once belittled me or Nora, the disciple of Fianna Stone, the strongest black magician.

    Even though you did not put me down, ‘I who insulted you’ cannot break me.

    “Puhuhuh. What on earth can you do with this kind of crappy magic? Now, if you pop like this. It’s released? Now let’s gouge out my eyes… “

    “Fuck you, bitch.”

    “… … “

    Demons find no meaning in killing humans.

    Everything he says and does is an instinctive imitation aimed at making me, a mere human being, miserable.

    Even if my eyes are torn out, my limbs are ripped out, and I am eaten alive, I will never give in to that bastard.

    Just like that guy did at the Academy.

    Even though I must have felt unfair until the moment I was expelled, I was not broken by anyone.

    I, whose only advantage is the magic that was recognized by him, cannot be broken like this.

    In this way, Nora stopped the approaching death.

    “[Dark Magic][Lv. 4][Thorn Hell] You, just die.”

    The demons attacked Nora, who could have been killed just by stretching out their hands, using even advanced magic.

    -Kaaa!!

    “Huh?”

    “… Huh?”

    And as if waiting for that moment, a research book burst out from Rudis’ magic bag in her arms, spreading black light.
