– Your Majesty! I missed you.

– Your Majesty. Come on~ Try it.

– A play… doesn’t it sound fun?

– Have fun, Demon King!

“Your Majesty, what are you thinking so deeply about?”

At Tyros’ deep voice, Arbes slowly opened his red eyes.

Then, what comes into view is his own castle, which is extremely gloomy.

It was a place decorated with everything that reflected his tastes, but for some reason, I didn’t feel anything.

“…..I don’t like it.”

Arbes muttered, tapping the throne with one finger.

I don’t know how much time has passed since I broke up with Hera.

She was deeply regretting this moment.

‘I shouldn’t have just come back then…’

Come to think of it, I came without deciding on how long I would come or where I would meet.

I should have made that clear.

Because of that, Arbes, who had to wait indefinitely, could not erase Hera’s voice that kept lingering in his head.

“When on earth will you come back again.. My patience is short.”

“..I misheard you.”

As if he didn’t understand what Arbes was saying, a voice full of confusion came out of Tyros’ helmet.

“You clearly said you’d come next time. It’s been a while now and there’s still no news?”

“…Huh? Are you talking about that woman?”

“Should I burn this whole world down to the ground before I can come running to you?”

Yeah. I was complacent.

He is the Demon King. A predator who reigns over and dominates any being.

All I had to do was call from here.

Doesn’t it make no sense to wait for someone in the first place?

‘I was generous, but in the end I got angry.’

The moment Arbes got up from his seat.

“Your Majesty, I am sorry to tell you this, but it has not even been a day since I parted ways with the woman.”

“…..”

At Tyrus’s words, the Demon King’s body froze in place.

And then he looked at Tyros with wide-open eyes and asked.

“One day? Not even a day has passed?”

“Yes.. Didn’t you come back last night?”

It feels like a week has passed.

Arbes couldn’t say anything because it hadn’t even been a day yet.

“…Let’s just wait until this week.”

The Demon King sat down on his throne again and spoke softly, opening his eyes with a murderous look.

“If you don’t come see me by this week…then you’d better be prepared.”

*

The streets of the empire are bustling with people.

To get some fresh air, I pushed them away and walked alone through the lively streets.

To be exact, I wasn’t alone…

“You were all watching?!?!”

I screamed in the middle of the street. People around me started looking at me one by one.

Embarrassed, I blushed and pulled my cloak closer to cover my face.

[Yeah. It was a little disappointing.. If I had gone just a little further, I would have seen your crying face… Ahem.. No.]

It was something the teacher said that sounded quite suspicious, but I didn’t think much of it because I was much more concerned about it.

‘Why didn’t you help me!! I was in such a critical situation back then..!’

[It doesn’t look dangerous at all… Even if I did, wouldn’t it just be giving my body to the Demon King?]

‘That… that’s an emergency!!’

I was dumbfounded by the teacher’s amazing words.

I tried my best to calm my angry heart and recited the words in my head again.

‘The opponent is the Demon King? If I had made even the slightest mistake, my head would have been blown off.’

[Phehe.. Don’t worry, disciple. Don’t worry. No matter what you did back then, the Demon King wouldn’t have been able to kill you.]

‘How do you know that?’

[You can tell just by looking at it.]

The teacher paused for a moment and then continued speaking.

[The Demon King is already completely in love with you. He would never have intended to hurt you.]

‘…Huh? How would you know that, Master?’

The teacher gave a short laugh at my question, then immediately gave me the answer again.

[Disciple. Master is a nine-tailed fox. He can clearly distinguish between eyes that are in love and eyes that are not. Even the Demon King cannot hide that.]

‘yes..?’

[I tried my best not to show it on the outside, but I’m completely captivated by you. As expected, you’re my disciple. I’m truly captivated.]

‘Really? Is this another one of your delusions?’

[What the…what are you talking about! When have you ever seen the Master lie to you?!]

‘Umm… that’s not it..’

Still, I couldn’t help but feel a little unbelievable.

This was my first time with the Demon King. And now he’s fallen for me?

..hmm.

When he tells me to take my clothes off and says he’ll do that, it seems like he doesn’t have any feelings for me.

…what.

It doesn’t matter now.

Because I have no intention of bewitching her any more in the first place.

My daughter Marie and my sister Lily. And Athena hates me so much. I have no will to do it anymore.

Now we need to find a solution through calm and logical persuasion.

When we actually talked, he didn’t seem like a ruthless tyrant like in the novels, so I guess it’s quite possible.

[That disciple…]

‘yes?’

I tilted my head at the sudden call from my teacher. She gave me a worried voice.

[I don’t want to interfere, but… how about going to those kids at school soon? I’m afraid of the future if we leave it like this.]

‘School?’

school..?

The Master’s words caused thoughts that had been buried deep in my mind to surface again.

“Ah..! Ah..Academy!!”

…I don’t think I’ve been out without permission for a few days.

Is this okay..?

*

“…..You’re dropping out?”

A small fairy with green hair. Darkan said, his face crumpled.

“Yes.

Many worries passed through my mind.

To conclude,

I decided to end my enjoyable academy life.

Since I came here because of Lily, there’s really no need to stay any longer, and it doesn’t seem like I’ll be in a position to attend the Academy any longer.

Now is the time to devote yourself solely to the Demon King.

Rather, it would be more dangerous for me to be in the Academy, having caught the Demon King’s eye.

“You were absent without permission.. I’m surprised you suddenly said this. Are you not happy with your academy life?”

Darkhan flew over to my hand and looked up at me with the expression of a rain-splattered puppy.

“Who bullied you? Which teacher do you dislike? I’ll take care of it. Just tell me.”

I was taken aback by the emotion in her voice.

Why are you so angry..?

“Ah..no, that’s not it..I don’t think I can go to the academy anymore. The situation is not good either.”

“…Can’t you think about it again?”

Her earnest gaze made my heart heavy, but I closed my eyes tightly and answered her.

“I’m sorry, Chairman..I’ll come back later when I have time.”

“….huh.”

Darkhan’s face was still filled with regret, but soon the sadness disappeared from his face and he looked at me.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but I’ll cheer you on. Don’t get hurt.”

“…Chairman.”

“I don’t think you’re trying to do anything bad..”

My heart was touched by Darkhan’s warm and comforting words.

Even though I couldn’t be of any help to her… she still treats me kindly.

To be honest, it’s only natural that I couldn’t have predicted that the Demon King would invade.

Still, the sight of the Academy being reduced to ashes made me feel very guilty.

“I’m sorry…I said I would protect the academy…but I couldn’t be of any help…”

I spoke to her with a heavy feeling of guilt in my heart.

But Darkhan just flew in front of my face and looked at me with serious eyes.

“Hera. I saw it all. You saved me from the Demon King, didn’t you? You were the one who sent the Demon King back to the Demon World.”

“But many students have already been hurt..”

“It’s not your fault. Why do you feel so guilty?”

As if telling me not to think bad thoughts, Darkhan poked my forehead with his small hand.

“Hera. You really saved us like you said. This is absolutely true.”

“Chairman….”

“As a representative of the Academy, I would like to express my gratitude to you. If you need any help, please let me know. I will repay your kindness with my life. ”

Her eyes, as she bowed to me and greeted me, had a more serious light than ever.

I couldn’t help but have a faint smile on my face at her touching words.

“Then..please do me one favor, Chairman.”

Darkhan looks at me with his eyes wide open.

“Of course! Tell me quickly.”

I took out the two letters that I had been keeping in my arms and placed them on Darkan’s desk.

Then Darkhan followed the letter and flew to the desk, tilting his head with a puzzled expression.

“What is this?”

“It’s a letter. Can you give this to Iris and Ariel?”

“Huh? Wouldn’t it be better to tell them in person?”

“….No. Please tell the chairman.”

In some ways, it might be a bad thing for them.

I’m going to exclude Iris and Ariel from my plans.

It’s not that I hate them or anything.

It is none other than because of their growth.

Unlike Lily, who was already much stronger than the original, they were still in the early stages of the story.

Of course, this world cannot be said to be exactly the same as the original, but it would be far from adequate to deal with the Demon King and her army commander.

Athena, Marie, Lily. Unlike them, who each possess overwhelming strength, Ariel and Iris’ powers have not yet fully blossomed.

And I have no intention of seeing the flower being cut down before it blooms, by meddling in my work for no reason.

The blessing of the goddess that Iris had was such an important ability…

I hope she doesn’t get hurt more than that.

I just hoped they would understand my letter.

I promised I’d come back again when everything was over, so you don’t have to worry too much.

“Yeah..well. if that’s what you’re saying.”

Darkhan magically lifted the letter and moved it to the corner with a bewildered expression.

Then he came back in front of my face again.

side-

He left a little kiss on my cheek.

“I will always support you. Academy students, don’t worry, I will raise you well.”

Her warm heart almost brought tears to my eyes.

I smiled at her with a huge smile on my face, feeling so touched.

“Yes! I will definitely succeed and come back..!”

Darkhan, who had left the academy after Hera left, pledged to raise the students to be excellent.

The day a student named Sarah dropped out.

I received three more resignations.

It is said that he did not come out of the chairman’s office for a while due to his sadness.
