Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha Chapter 33

Chapter 33

“… . . I’m sorry for all the noise… . . ”

Misa says to me after I signed everyone’s .

“Everyone got worked up seeing the raw Arnos-sama up close for the first time . ”

“That expression . How to say it…… . I don’t like it . ”

Sasha says and next to her Misha nods .

“Like alcohol . ”

“Fumu . Raw Arnos sake?”

“You don’t need to read so much into my words . ”

She has a point .

“First of all, some off these people are in the same cla.s.s as me so it’s not their first time . I don’t get the raw part either . ”

“Ah, I’ll clarify . Arnos-sama has this atmosphere that seems to separate him from the rest of the world . To us, he’s in a place that we can’t see . Even though we are in the same cla.s.sroom, today feels like the first day that you accepted my existence . ”

“Well, honestly, until today you were beneath my notice . ”

“Ahahah…… . . right……”

Misa seems slightly depressed .

“Don’t mind it . It’s my principle to ignore things that don’t interest me . ”

“I’m not even going to respond to that statement . ”

Misha nods in agreement with Sasha’s statement .

“I’ve learnt something today though . From now on you should fully taste the raw me to your heart’s content . ”

“That expression…… . . is obscene………”

Misha leans her head to one side in puzzlement .

“Is raw Arnos obscene?”

“It’s alright . You don’t need to know about that Misha . ”

Misha stared off into nothingness with her deadpan expression and muttered .

“… . . Interested… . . ”

“Ah, if that’s so Misha-san then why don’t you join the Arnos fan union? I can teach you various things . ”

Sasha quickly jumped in before Misha could respond .

“Absolutely not! I won’t let you teach weird things to my Misha! Can you stop your solicitation . ”

“Ah, is that so? Why don’t you join too Sasha-san?”

“Haaa!? Why would I?”

Sasha’s voice raises in surprise .

“You’re worried about Misha-san aren’t you? Wouldn’t it be safer if you both joined?”

Misa says with a bright smile .

“I refuse . I have no reason to enter such a place . ”

“Is that so? That’s disappointing . ”

Misa moved over to Sasha and whispered in her ear .

“…… . Right now, if you join, it comes with the magic photos of Arnos-sama I secretly took as a bonus . ”

“Such a thing…… . ”

Sasha looks towards me for a moment .

“I’m not interested at all . ”

While saying this Sasha brings her face close to Misa and whispers

“… . . What sort of photos are they?”

“Fufufu, do you want to see? There’s one I took where he’s changing his clothes so he’s half-naked . ”

“Half naked… . !? Tha……that’s unhealthy…… . . Tha……rude… . !!”

With a red hot face, Sasha raises her voice .

“Ah, don’t you like things like that? Well then, I’ll prepare something more wholesome and cool looking . ”

“Wait………… . ”

Misa puts on a blank expression

“Yes?”

“Just to be sure I’ll take a look . Just to be sure . ”

Sasha repeats herself .

Fumu . What are they talking about over there?

If I listened hard I could hear what they were saying but I won’t . They are whispering so they don’t want me to hear .

“I understand . Well then, I’ll guide you to the second floor . Arnos-sama could you wait a minute?”

“Aah . ”

It seems something has been decided between Sasha and Misa as they both head off up to the 2nd floor .

“Aren’t you going Misha?”

“Because Arnos isn’t going . ”

“I see . ”

“Nn . ”

After a few minutes, Sasha ran down the stairs .

“Sorry to keep you waiting . ”

“What happened to Sasha?”

“Fufufu . Something enjoyable . ”

Misa says it like its something significant .

“Errm… . . Arnos-sama . Actually, I have a request… . . ”

Misa asks, completely changing her expression to a serious one .

“What?”

“I understand its an impudent request but would Arnos-sama have us in his team?”

I see . Actually, I think its a reasonable request .

Other than me all the group leaders are royalty . I doubt they would be willing to have unificationists in their team .

“There’s a condition for me to receive subordinates . ”

“What is it?”

“They must be strong or interesting . ”

Misa laughs like she’s troubled .

“It’s not that easy after all then………… . . ”

“One question . Why are you doing this?”

“When you say this, do you mean the unificationists?”

“Aah . Certainly, Deiruheido is ruled by the royalty and the mazoku are divided in two but there isn’t actually that much trouble from this system . Deirueido is ruled well and is at peace . If you close your eyes to the point that you will never have power then life is very comfortable . ”

Even with the royal issue, this place is much better than 2000 years ago .

In the age of myths, powerless people died but now they can walk about freely .

“You don’t have great power and to unify the mazoku will bring great danger your way . ”

“… . . It’s just as Arnos-sama says . ”

Misa looks down for an instant, however, she raises her face back up with a smile like she had instantly recovered .

“If it’s fine by you can I show you around the union tower? There’s something I want you to see . ”

Misa looks at me earnestly . Doesn’t seem like she wants to answer me .

“Very well, guide me then . ”

“Yes! This way!”

Misa starts climbing the stairs and explains about the union tower .

On the 2nd and 3rd floors are things relating to the Arnos fan union . It’s where they do their day to day activities .

There’s sculptures of me and diaries listing all my actions since I joined the school .

The 4th floor is a living s.p.a.ce where you can sleep and the 5th floor is full of Deiruheido history books and mazoku related books .

I had a brief look but there were no true history books from 2000 years ago .

Going up the stairs we come to the top floor .

In the centre of the room was a stone pedestal with a demon sword stuck in it .

Fumu . It’s a strange structure .

Potentially, it feels like its magic power could rival a masterpiece from the age of myths but its incomplete .

The demon sword has been split in half vertically .

“Is this what you wanted to show me?”

“Yes . ”

Misa walked slowly forward and stopped in front of the sword staring at it .

I was going to ask something but decided to wait in silence .

Before long, Misa spoke up in a quiet voice .

“… . You may have noticed Arnos-sama but I’m not a pure mazoku . My father is a mazoku but my mother is a spirit . ”

Part mazoku and part spirit . That explains why I felt the power of the spirits in her magic . The fact that the spirits and the mazoku have come together is even more surprising than the humans and mazoku coming together .

“My mother seems to have died soon after I was born . ”

Misa says a little sadly .

“I’ve never talked to my father . I don’t even know his face or his name . ”

“Why?”

“My father is royalty and seems to be in a very high position . He might even be one of the demon emperors ruling some part of Deiruheido . ”

I don’t get it .

“Did he do something wrong?”

Misha speaks up .

“The royal families are responsible for leaving descendants from the royal families . When they have children that have any blood other than a royal in them, that family is excluded from the royal family . ”

“I see . As well as themselves it affects the entire family as well . ”

Even if the child is of mixed blood that blood doesn’t get thinner and fade away .

It’s a very strange thought process .

“It’s as Misha-san says . I think my father understood it well that he shouldn’t fall in love with anyone other than a royal but he still seemed to have fallen in love with my mother anyway . Right?”

*Fufufu* Misa laughs .

“That’s just my delusion though . It would be nice to think so . ”

Misa says it like that but he must have liked her mother since it came with such big risks to himself and his family .

“My father cannot talk to me . If it became known that he had a half-spirit child he would lose everything . So we’ve never met and I’ve never seen his face or even know his name . ”

It’s different for myself but I can see not wanting to involve the rest of your family .

“On my 10th birthday, an unknown spirit owl bought me this half a sword . ”

Misa gently touches the handle .

“In fact, it would be better to leave no trace at all but I think that this is a message from my father who cant say anything . The other half is surely owed by my father . Right now this sword is divided in 2 but one day it will become one . The day when royals and mixed blood will join hands will come . That is why my father is fighting . I’ve always thought that he’s waiting to pick me up and tell me so . ”

Misa looks over her shoulder at me .

“Deiruheido is peaceful . The rule of the royals is excellent and I can go to this academy and live with no problems even though I don’t have any parents . ”

She briefly stops speaking and smiles sadly before continuing .

“But I have nothing more than a life without inconvenience . Even if I was poor all I want is to spend my days with my father and laugh . ”

Those last words were squeezed out and loaded with emotion .

“Father and daughter cannot even talk as they have been ripped apart . I want to end these sad things . Everyone’s the same . All the unificationists have never met their parents or have lost their families under the peaceful reign of the royals . ”

Misa stares at me with an appealing look .

“Still, the gap between ideal and reality is deep . So when I saw Arnos-sama overwhelming the royal family with overwhelming power I thought that we had finally found our ray of hope . I’m able to believe in you, the demon king of tyranny . ”

“Fumu . What if I wasn’t the founder, what would you do?”

“It doesn’t matter . We will even fight against the founder to achieve even a small bit of happiness if we have to . ”

Misa firmly declared .

“What we believe is your words . You said you were the demon king of tyranny and we believe you . ”

They don’t need the founder huh?

Certainly, it’s true that the unificationists don’t need a founder who’s royalty .

“Arnos-sama . Please forgive those of us who are weak but please lend us your strength . We will fight together…… . . ”

I can grasp the general circ.u.mstances .

“When’s the next group opposition test?”

Was my question unexpected? Misa was not able to answer right away .

“Day after tomorrow . ”

Misha answers instead .

“Well then Misa . In 2 days time, you should challenge me . ”

“But…… . ”

“I’m not going to say you have to win but I don’t need subordinates that rely on my power . You said that you were ready to fight the founder if you had to . Prove to me that those words weren’t a lie and fight me . ”

Staying quiet Misa then nodded in determination .

“Understood . I will be sure to meet the expectations of Arnos-sama . ”

“Now then . Let’s call Sasha and get some lunch . ”

We leave the room and head downstairs .

“Speaking of which, is Arnos-sama used to handling swords?”

Misa asks .

“Not really . I just swing my sword around with brute strength . Why?”

“Because tomorrow is a large scale military sword drill . I wondered if I’d see the cool figure of Arnos-sama . ”

I remember hearing such a story .

“Oh yeah . If I’m not mistaken isn’t a guest lecturer coming?”

“Yes . According to Melheys-sama any time a grand military drill is held there’s a chance that one of the old seven demon emperors will turn up . ”

Fumu . Avos Dilheavia must know that I have an idea about him now . Will he appear? Will he turn up for an ability inspection?

“Also, I don’t think many students know this yet but a transfer student is coming tomorrow as well . ”

I didn’t notice the meaningful words Misa said .
