The fairies were flying around the classroom in a panic.

“Has a spirit spirited them away?” (Arnos)

The Titi fly up to my face as I ask the question.

“Yes. The spirit of spiriting away.”

“A wolf.”

“It has wings.”

“It hides everything.”

“It’s called the Hiden Wolf Gennuru.”

So there is a spirit born from the rumours and legends of people being spirited away. Why did it take my subordinates though?

“Have they really been spirited away?” Eleonor asks curiously. “It’s just that this Eniyunien tree is very big. Couldn’t they just be somewhere else?” (Eleonor)

The Titi all shake their heads.

“Not lying.”

“Titi never lie.”

“Sometimes we do.”

“Not now though.”

Fumu. Can’t say I’m filled with confidence at their words.

“Go looking?” (Misha)

Misha stares at me with her cold eyes.

“I guess.” (Arnos)

I can sense magic power in this huge tree. Even if they’ve been moved elsewhere they haven’t disappeared.

“Dangerous…..”

“We’re in trouble!”

“Coming.”

“It’s here.”

The Titi shivered in unison and looked at the entrance. They’re frightened of what’s behind it.

“What’s coming?” (Arnos)

“Bad children.”

“Delinquents.”

“Bad students.”

“Four evil royals!”

The Titi quickly flew away from the door and huddled in a corner of the classroom.

“Well, well, well.” A voice echoed from the other side of the door. “I thought the Titis were being unusually noisy but it seems we have a rare guest.”

A man wearing flashy clothes and a large hat entered the room. Though if you were being precise you can’t tell it’s a man from his appearance alone. His face is almost completely flat and featureless while his body looks like gel in the shape of a man.

Fumu. This is a nostalgic sight.

“I didn’t expect to see you here Scarlet Monument King.” (Arnos)

*Fufufu* the scarlet monument king lets out a laugh.

“I didn’t expect to see you here either. Why are you here Demon King?” (SMK)

What a shameless guy.

“Fumu. This is certainly a coincidence, however, did you really not expect to see me again after you messed with my subordinates? I see that you are still talking nonsense, even after all this time.” (Arnos)

I glare at Gilisris who’s gel-like face distorts into what could be a wry smile. He’s completely mocking me.

“….Aah.” He speaks up like he’s just remembered something. “That? That wasn’t my intention you know? There was a lot of noise coming from the top.” (Gilisris)

Eleonor’s face looked both offended and angry.

“Your adjutant did some terrible things. He said he was going to study me and Zeshia.” (Eleonor)

“What terrible things? Because I’m being made to do things I don’t want to do thanks to orders from above, I at least want to get some research materials. Isn’t that just common sense?” (Gilisirs)

“I don’t accept your common sense. Because you treat people like research materials Ledoriano-kun and the others went through awful experiences.” (Eleonor)

“There are always sacrifices attached to magic research. Everyone will die and fade away eventually anyway so why not have them become part of the foundations of magic?” (Gilisris)

“…….Nothing you just said makes any sense.” (Eleonor)

*Fufufu* The scarlet monument king lets out an eerie laugh.

“Yare yare, you really are an imbecile. I don’t think we can get along. As expected from the demon kings magic.” (Gilisris)

It doesn’t look like the scarlet monument king is going to fight Eleonor as he brushes her statement off.

“Fumu. I don’t see you working under another mazoku though.” (Arnos)

“It’s been 2000 years. Nothing stays the same Demon King. Because you leisurely took your time reincarnating over 2000 years you now can’t keep up with the times.” (Gilisris)

His voice is loaded with sarcasm which I took absolutely no notice of.
