The season goes round. Even if people stop growing, it never stops.

That was true here at the Royal Kingsland School.

Three years have passed since Ein enrolled. Ain had a good school life without being demoted from a set (first).

“So, I told you. You’re really muscular.”

“What’s that? Are you being demeaning?

“Against His Royal Highness, as always, that’s a rude way of talking. You are. And Namekuji is mostly made of muscle all over his body. So it doesn’t make sense to denigrate it in the sense of muscle.”

“Ha, ha… but there’s something wrong with the naked whale floating around.”

When the sun is still not weak during the day. On the open terrace at the Royal Kingsland School, several students talk.

They were never skipping classes, they were the ones who were allowed to participate freely.

The conversation thrives, pinching the tea I asked for and a little treat.

The man who spoke abruptly with Namekuji is Bats. There was an intelligent part that didn’t look good and the entrance exam was literary. Nevertheless, Bats’ lineage is a Baron family that has been knighted in Ishtarika for generations, and he is also better at swordsmanship. Apparently, the reason I took the literature exam was part of an education from my parents.

Ain’t the one who asked me if I was derogatory. Over the past three years, his body had grown enormously and was attractive with a gentle expression, and he had gradually become attractive to men as well.

The man who called Ain His Highness is Leonard. In the trail of the Duke’s house, he has a high knowledge of internal affairs. The entrance examination was passed in a literary subject. Belongs to a group (first) from the first year.

And finally, Loran. He is the man Ein spoke to on his first day of school. Highly knowledgeable in demonic prop development, it is highly regarded as promising in the future, not only by the school but also by Ishtarika. Only Loran was born a civilian.

In Ein’s time, only four of them were able to maintain a pair (first).

Even with them, conversational members have since been fixed, and as a result these four people are always stuck in school.

“No, Leonard, what are you talking about? You’re so small, you’re weak, stupid or you.”

“So I’ll tell you what the muscles look like… no, I was wrong…”

“… ha. Bats, how can a conversation be like this if you’re smart?”

“Huh? Leonard…… was Namekuji a whole body muscle? I didn’t know.”

This is how Ain got a friend tangled in nature. When I heard this report from the school, the royalty, starting with Silverado, as well as the Lloyds, were greatly pleased.

It’s been three years since I started school, and Ain’s fourth year, and I’m almost 11 years old at my age. Ein also continued to earn good grades in his school exams, which did not result in demotion of the group. And by continuing to train in the castle, he has grown successfully and splendidly.

He has also grown in height and is now higher than the average height of his age.

“Yes, no, Your Highness. I didn’t disparage your Highness or anything! I don’t know if Bats is smart enough.”

“Hey Ain. I feel so despised, like when I said I was a jerk.”

Don’t worry, it’s not “I feel”. They are. “

“It’s like oiling a fire like that up to Master Ain…”

Ain thus enjoyed getting together and talking with this member.

They are all human beings who do not fail in their efforts, and they are gathered together with meritoriousness.

Three years later, Ain’t got no escort inside the school anymore. Because Dill graduated.

He is now in the castle, encouraging him as a knight apprentice and Ein’s exclusive escort apprentice.

It was safe to be gathered by more than one person, and to have a few by the house of nobility, and it was not a bad story to take to the Silvers.

“Speaking of which, Loran. I hear the demonic props you made the other day have been appreciated again. Don’t do it!”

“Oh, oh, thank you, Bats. It just so happens to work, but I’m glad we made it.”

“It’s not something to be modest about, Loran. I think we should be proud because the results are in the eyes of the country.”

Bats abruptly changes the conversation again. The next topic is about magic props made by Loran. Demonic props made by Loran were highly valued in the eyes of the country.

“That’s amazing, Loran. So you’re coming to the castle next time?

“No, I got a chance to talk to someone from the Bureau of Development at school. So I guess I don’t know what’s gonna happen up ahead.”

“I trust you’ll create a mechanism that will eventually replace the sea crystal, Loran.”

As Leonard put it, the matter of sea crystals is urgent as Ishtarika.

Raised as a trace of the Duke’s family, Leonard was also well educated at home on the issue of sea crystals, the importance of which was well understood.

Even though I do business with Euro, its new development was urgent while there was no guarantee that it would always be.

“Well, I guess it’s about time I went to training.”

We’ve been talking for a while, so it’s been quite a while. Bats took a seat when he said it was time to go train.

“I’m gonna make a little face in the workshop, too.”

“I’m also going to go to the library and do some self-study. Now, Your Highness, if you’ll excuse me… please don’t come.”

Following the Bats, Loran and Leonard also took their seats and thought the gathering would be dissolved.

During that time, Leonard noticed someone coming this way.

“That outfit. Kingsguard Knights, isn’t it for Ain?

“We’ll wait until that knight gets here, just in case.”

Leonard said to wait just in case, because there was concern that he was the one dressed as a knight and attacking Ain.

“Yeah. Right.”

And Loran replies. Three stand by Ain.

“Excuse me, Master Ain. I have a message from Lord Lloyd, and it’s up to me to make a quick trip to school.”

After saying so, he presented his status card. The three Leonards also fall back behind Ain, as it could definitely be confirmed that they say the Knight of Ishtarika.

“Thanks. So what’s it about?

“… will be confidential”

Hearing the words, the Leonards decided to leave the place.

“Your Highness, I beg your pardon.”

Have a good day, Your Highness.

I’ll see you tomorrow, Your Highness.

Leonard is followed by Bats, Loran greeting. Because it was before the Knight of the Castle, both Bats and Loran called Ain His Highness and changed his tone.

“Ah. See you tomorrow”

Confirming that the three of them have left, the knight begins to speak of the contents of the decree.

“One, a dangerous demon has appeared. Besides, Chris is on his way to take care of it. We have a few things to tell you about the demon, so we’d like you to return to the castle today.”

I wondered, Chris was headed to deal with the demon. Chris is also a fighter of the fold in Istarica, making him Deputy Commander of the Kingsguard Knights and taking charge of Olivia’s exclusive escort, Ain’s escort, at times.

They tell me that Chris went out of his way to crusade demons like that, and I can’t keep up with my understanding.

If you look closely, the look on the face of the knight who came to pass on the message was never good either. He had a look like he was putting up with something, and he felt something different was happening. He spoke only of dangerous demons, the degree to which that danger probably does not fit into that one word.

“… back to the castle now. Escort me.”

“Ha!”

There were several other knights at the entrance to the school. Both the knight who came to the message and the knight who was waiting, all wear the armor of the Kingsguard knight.

“Welcome struggle. Back to the castle than this.”

“” “Ha!

The attitude towards the knights has been that of royalty, Ein. If this is unforeseen as it is now, I would have appreciated it with this simplified attitude.

Even at this time, everyone took the water train back to White Rose Station because the water train was the fastest way to get around.

Many Kingsguard knights and Ain protected by it boarded the water train, which usually had only vehicles. What the hell is going on as the other passengers when you see them like that? And I was wondering.

But there was no one who could be pushed by their strange air and speak up.

“Get the carriage.”

“Available here”

“Go ahead, Master Ein.”

The carriage provided was a specially made carriage pulled by four horses. Ein was able to get there faster than the carriage that Ein usually used, and I also felt something different about that carriage being available.

“… oh, okay. Hurry up and leave.”

I don’t need to point that out. Because we have to get to the castle first. Ain, hurrying into the carriage, rushed off.

And the Kingsguard knights rode their horses, making sure Ain surrounded the carriage they rode and set off.

Carriages that run at considerably faster speeds than usual, and the knights of the Ishtarika Kingsguards that run around them.

The figure did not look very good on the usual soothing Wangdu boulevard.

Ain was thinking in the carriage. What is a dangerous demon? Where were you headed? And I wondered why Chris needed to go out. The lord of the message is Lloyd, which would mean that Lloyd is in the castle. I have to ask Lloyd as soon as I get there.

Ain’t trampling the estate in the carriage and waiting now or now to arrive at the castle. If I said something ruthless, I might not have worried so far if I had just heard that the knight was on his way to crusade.

Chris, who has always been my escort and trained me. There was no way I didn’t care about her, who was the closest knight.

“Excuse me for rushing! Dear Ain, we’re here!

“Oh, never mind! I go to Your Majesty more than this!

“Ha!”

“We will also escort His Majesty to where he is!

When we arrived at the castle, the knights opened the door without knocking, unlike usual.

Though it was to blame, I am grateful that the knights are in a hurry.

Ain’t got to hurry up to Silvard’s waiting spot, ’cause there’s got to be Lloyd there too.

“Your Highness! Welcome home!

“Your Highness!”

“Welcome home, Your Highness! Your Majesty is in the Great Conference Room!

“Oh, okay. Let me keep going.”

The cavaliers, who were noisy in the castle and still realized Ain had entered the castle, bow their heads and greet Ain at once.

Nevertheless, the elegance they possess, only today, is devoid of shards.

That’s the same with Ain, who’s headed to the big conference room in a hurry close to running.

The knights that followed were equally in a hurry, but none blamed it.

And the large conference room we arrived in was found so noisy inside that we could see it from the outside.

But I don’t give a shit about that, Ein opens the big conference room door without even knocking.

Then, in an instant, the Great Chamber regained its silence.

“… Your Majesty. Prince Wang Ain, I’m returning to Castle now.”

“Hmm. Sorry about the rush.”

“No, I don’t mind, I’m sorry I’m in the middle of a meeting, can you explain?”

The appearance of Ain, which I usually never show, that’s unusual, and a strong attitude that I just don’t tolerate a single objection.

The aura was exactly a sign of royalty.

Ain looked over at the conference room. Ain’t uncomfortable seeing Olivia, who shouldn’t normally be in the conference room. Olivia looks down and leans down, never looking more at Ain.

“I’m sorry. Everybody keep meeting, Ain’t come here.”

Silvard called Ain nearby. On the side is Olivia, who remains leaning down, and Warren and Lloyd, who look unusually serious, refrain.

“I got a message from Mr. Lloyd and I went back. What the hell happened? I only asked you about dangerous demons.”

“Let me explain to you, Dear Ein.”

Lloyd, who was giving a message, said he would explain and go forward.

“It’s a sea dragon. Offshore of the port town of Magna, even offshore, appears nearby.”

“… is that enough for Mr. Chris to come out?

Years later, Ain’t been able to talk to Lloyd this way, too.

Nevertheless, I have not yet been able to take the honor of “Mr.” because of the person who served as the sword master.

“Ain’t… Ain’t…! Chris, Chris.”

“Oh, Mother!? What is wrong with you!

Olivia, the wolf, groaned small and small at the end. Chris is going to die……

“What’s that… what does that mean!

“Dear Ein. Lord Lloyd will continue.”

Warren, who was beside him, spoke only calmly, because Lloyd would continue to talk. I didn’t say it to you, but it would mean calm down.

“Sea dragons emerge roughly every 100 years. The body is very large, a giant nearly half of Princess Olivia. And because it’s that giant, it’s also very powerful, and it’s insane. It takes about 100 years to grow, and then it hits me.”

“It has appeared many times before in my Ishtarika. Each time, I was finally able to crusade with a large building and a lot of damage. He was finally able to crusade at the expense of many knights, commanders, and ships.”

“… I know it’s dangerous. But the technology should be significantly more developed than it was at the time. Yet.”

Warren’s explanation for following Lloyd. Ain’t convinced yet when he hears that.

And yet Chris has to go? That’s what I was about to say.

But don’t talk about this. Other knights have families and lives.

“… it’s an anomaly. We have sent out a number of military ships, but this time there are two sea dragons.”

Warren said. So I understand what Olivia said, Ain’t what Chris meant by dying.

It would not be a simple calculation, that it has been purely doubled. This one doubles the rate of damage, I wondered how hard it would be to think about that.

“Then why is Mr. Lloyd here! There must also be a dedicated ship of His Majesty’s! Is that out!

“… Lord Lloyd should not move from here. When something happens, the protection of the castle is diminished. And His Majesty’s dedicated ship is indeed powerful. But you can’t put that out, it’s too incompatible with sea dragons. It can only be good and just stiff.”

Hearing that reply, Ain’t nodding. Can’t you do anything? Are you just in the castle when Chris is in danger? Ask yourself that.

Ain is a king prince. Prince Wang can’t die, that’s never acceptable because it’s the future of the country. But I still couldn’t forgive the situation.

“Chris is a knight who can use the magic of the wind at a high level. That’s why she told us she was headed to this situation. No, we didn’t. We were sweet on that word.”

What Silvard tells you is never a mistake. I have not made the wrong decision as a king either, and it would be the right thing to do.

It’s just convincing or that’s just the problem. Of course Ain’t convinced enough to say at all. Whether that was necessary as a royal family or not, Ain, who was still young and cared about Chris, couldn’t be convinced of that.

“… heading to Magna. We’ll take the royal train.”

Ain’t that what you said when you turned to Silvado, Silvado’s face as if you’d expected it, is still rude.

“You understand there’s no way I’m going to allow that, right?

“I know that and I’m talking about it.”

“Dear Ein. No, you are Prince Wang… in case anything happens, and Ein’s body is not just for Ein”

Warren talks to calm Ein down. What Ein thought would disqualify him as a royalty and a king prince. Still Ain’t gonna stop it.

“Me too. Whatever happens, I’ll stop going to Magna and show you.”

“Mr. Lloyd. But I can’t keep my mouth shut here. Your Majesty…… at least let me go to Magna. Permission granted.”

“Say it again. [incomprehensible]

He says he’s just going to Magna, but I don’t think that’s all he’s going to stop. That’s why we can’t let them go to dangerous magna.

“Ain’t. No… I can’t believe you’re in such a dangerous place until Ain’t!

Olivia told him in tears in her eyes. That word that Olivia uttered until she had tears, though it strongly oppressed Ein’s heart, was still unthinkable to Ein to just wait here for Chris.

“Olivia keeps her mouth shut so much. Even so, Ein, the Lord speaks of himself as Prince Wang, but still wants to go to Magna!

The majesty of the king that Silvado puts out. The word pierces Ain’s body hard, and somehow he learns the illusion that the air hits him with a biscuit.

“… Yes. I’m still going for Magna.”

“Okay, okay.”

Ain’t got a little hope for what he said about finding out Silvard. But at that moment Ain’s consciousness flew away.

“It’s no use stopping it…. Lloyd, you’ve got a bad role to play.”

“No, this is my job.”

“Sorry Ain’t… Ain’t…”

Ein was overwhelmed by Lloyd. It was a force move to find out it was useless to stop.

Even those in the conference room don’t expect to use force moves, and they can’t hide their surprises.

“Ha. Ain’t kind, and he’s a good kid with strong feelings for his people. You know what I mean?

“Of course, Your Majesty. And that’s why I thought this might happen.”

“… right. But Ein is the future of Ishtarika. I can’t let you go anywhere dangerous. Your Majesty, may I take Ein to your room?

“Katima is in the lab. Let them grow up in the underground lab for a while, and Katima won’t be able to get Ain out of there. Katima understands those aspects very well.”

Lloyd, who replied and bowed his head, headed to Katima’s lab.

Ain will be cooling his head there for a while.

“Are you awake?

Where Ain woke up, that was Katima’s lab where he was often immersed.

For today only, it is locked from the outside and it is not easy to get out.

“… I didn’t know you could make it out to force moves”

“How you feeling?”

“It’s alright. I don’t know what else to do, if you insist, it’s about messed up in my head”

“Then don’t worry, it’s normal.”

Ain wakes up his body. The place where I was lying was in the lab, a sofa, and Katima installed a fine sofa, so I feel comfortable sleeping.

“Hey. I’m gonna ask you once, but you’re not gonna let me out, are you?

“I won’t let you out. Even if I let you out, you won’t get out of the room.”

“Right, so you totally stuffed me?

“There’s only one thing. Kill me here and make the outside man unlock the lock. And when you get out of here, get out of the castle and go for the station.”

“… what a fool. You mean there’s no more hitters?”

I couldn’t even think of a hitter as Ain when it got this far.

I don’t even want to think about harming Katima, and it’s hard to unlock it.

“No, you only have one. You can use the Dark Knight to force yourself out.”

“I can’t.”

All Ain came up with was using the power of the Dark Knight to destroy the door, which would normally be fine, but only today could it not be done.

“… I didn’t think I’d make it this far. You can’t use magic in this room. A fully designed seal has been prepared, if you can break a fortress like this, it is the demon king or the resistance of those close to it…”

Ain’t no hitter again after hearing what Katima said. Is there really nothing you can do anymore, or is this the complete end of it? All I could do was wait for Chris to get home safely…… that seemed crazy.

“What do you do with Mr. Katima’s recommendations?

“Wait in silence. I hope Chris gets home safely.”

“Can you pray to God?”

Ain’t been a long time since Ain thought about God, I can’t deny I hadn’t thought about it in a long time. Instead, I haven’t even been able to think very much about myself being reincarnated. Now, I sometimes even get confused when I pull the chatter and get something like toxin breakdown.

“Ha… God, young lady/goddess. Give us some wisdom.”

I’m not expecting anything, Ain’t prayed. Ein doesn’t know if she’s looking at Ein or not. But although I felt cheaper to the extent than not doing it, I pray.

“What a prayer… I don’t want to pray”

“That’s okay. Now. That’s what he’ll know.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but, well, good. You should do it till you feel better.”

“I will.”

That’s how I kept praying. Toddler girl, toddler girl…… what are you doing now? Are you still wearing clothes that are going to catch that cold? It’s going to drive me crazy to be in that white place all the time. Is it already there? What a disrespectful thing to think about.

I felt a moment had stopped while I was feeling so disrespectful.

‘Take a good look at the room. You fool…’

The air then reverted and the space, which seemed to have stopped for a moment, moved out again.

“Yeah…… thank god”

“Did you say something?

“No, to nothing.”

Was the voice an illusion, or was it a true voice? Ain’t gonna understand that.

But I definitely thought it was a tip. Take a good look at the room… there’s something in this lab that will be key.

A big thank you for that word.

“If you’re free, I can help. Look, the demon stone Ein bought! The study of this! I still haven’t been able to translate the materials I bought a while back! No research at all!

A care for Katima. I had the usual conversation so that I could get a little distracted.

Ain thanked me for that. But I couldn’t finish the story just because I appreciated it.

… Found it. Ain’t found it. From the tips God gave me, one thing that could be a way to open it.

“God. Thank God… you were still watching over me”

“A, Ein? So what are you talking about?

“No, it’s nothing. Yeah, I can help.”

“Well, that’s fine.”

Katima returned the conversation when she said it was nothing, although she thought it was somewhat puzzling.

Ein goes by that Katima.

“But you don’t know what this magic stone really is.”

“Really? That’s why this material is supposed to be the key… the translation doesn’t work at all!

Katima, who Ein decides has no particular problem with, fools Ein as he looks at a fancy book of examples.

Next to it, Ain went beside the demon stone and opened the case of the seal.

“Mr. Katima. Sorry.”

“Hmm? What?”

Katima responding while looking at the book. Katima responds appropriately, not knowing what the word sorry is.

“Huh… here I come…!

And Ain’t starting to absorb the opened demon stones. Just like when I tried it a while back, I feel a different momentum.

Katima noticed it and blamed it on Ain.

“Ain’t! What are you doing? Stop, stop!

Like last time, Katima tries to seal the demon stone by pushing Ain’s hand into the box. But this time, instead of the dark knight’s fantasy hand coming out because of the seal, something else was happening.

‘Don’t move… right?

Demon Stone’s voice echoed all over the room, just like last time so far. But Katima couldn’t move, while in this lab where magic wasn’t supposed to work, Katima couldn’t even move her fingers instead of her feet. It’s as if they magically sealed the motion.

“What, so… I can’t move, nya!? Ein, what the hell are you doing?

Ein wrapped in some kind aura. It was warm, gentle and inclusive, similar to Olivia’s.

When absorbing the demon stone, it was Ain that felt the taste, but not this time. Instead I was wrapped up in this warmth.

Motherhood as if you were protecting yourself, aura that makes you want to loose yourself.

Ein kept sucking at it. It’s like the baby sucks her mother’s breast milk, and she keeps sucking even until the end comes.

“Shh, I’m sucking?! Ain’t you absorbing that demon stone!? Oh, stop!

“I told you I’m sorry. Mr. Katima.”

Ain’t no stopping absorption without listening to any of its stops. More and more demon stones lose color and become empty demon stones.

And finally, that’s when it came.

‘Thank you……’

I heard voices from somewhere, they were kind voices. I didn’t understand the meaning of that thank you, but Ein is here to thank you. And I thought to myself.

After hearing that voice, Ain put the demon stone on the table that finished absorbing it.

“It’s over, Mr. Katima.”

“It’s over… no, no!

Katima, still unable to move her body, reacts with sweat as it seems difficult to speak.

“Oh, I’m sorry…. Ok, now you’re okay?

“That’s so easy. What the hell did Ain’t you do?

“I don’t really get it either. But they taught me a little how to use it, so I’m fine now. I’m going now.”

The lab sounded like a broken glass called Parryin. Katima wondered what the noise was, but understood that Ain had opened the door flat. Ain destroyed the seal on this room from the inside. I’ve learned that fact.

“A, Ein, seal this room.”

“I’m sorry I broke it. When I get back, I’ll probably be able to pay.”

“How could I break it… No, what are you talking about?

“‘Cause it’s rare to finally have a demon around a hundred years old, isn’t it? So when I get back, I’ll pay with that material. Wait.”

When I saw Ain coming out of the lab, the knight who was the lab’s turn also lost his hips. That would be true, too, what Katima was saying.

Unless the demon king or the resistance of those close to it, the seal of this lab must be broken.

Ain’t broken it. Not a single comprehension of what demonic stone he smoked followed Katima.

“Come on, let’s go to the port town of Magna”
