Misha raises her small hand.

“How to find the child of God?” (Misha)

Eleonor let out an *Ah* sound and all eyes focused on her.

“Ah, sorry. It’s something else. I’ve just had a <Liikus> arrive. Can I take it?” (Eleonor)

“No problem.” (Arnos)

“I won’t be long.” (Eleonor)

Eleonor walks a short distance away from our group.

“Sorry for the wait Ledoriano-kun. What’s wrong?” (Eleonor)

A message from the hero academy? Is something wrong?

“Can’t you find the child of God with your demon eyes Arnos?” (Ray)

“Possibly, if I meet them face to face and look into the abyss but that’s impossible since we don’t even know where to start. I can’t see what isn’t there after all.” (Arnos)

“Then should we investigate the backgrounds of the student’s and teachers? If the gods have done something then shouldn’t there be a connection somewhere?” (Ray)

“That will take a lot of time but that’s probably the best action to take.” (Arnos)

I’m not even sure they are in the academy but without any further clues, we’ll have to investigate here.

Hmm, I can feel someone staring at me.

I turn around to see a male student in black clothes standing there. His badge is a six-pointed star and he’s got strong magic power but he’s suppressing it.

No. Isn’t it a bit too strong for a mazoku of this time?

He’s got curly hair and an intelligent looking face.

I don’t know him. He’s certainly not a student of this class.

“Fang of the cursed shield.” Misha mutters.

“What does a member of the chaos generation want with Arnos Gerard?” Sasha says as she moves up and stands by my side.

“I’m sorry if this offends you but I’m not here for him. I’m here for her.” (Gerard)

The boy called Gerad kneels politely in front of Misa.

“Misa Iriologue-sama, I am Gerard Azrema and I serve your father. I am here today on my lord’s orders.” (Gerard)

“Eh……?” (Misa)

Misa’s eyes widened in surprise.

“May I tell you more?” (Gerard)

Misa nods though her face looks puzzled.

“The time has finally come and your father has sent for you. If you have any desire to see your father I hope you will come with me.” (Gerard)

“……..Where to?” (Misa)

“I cannot say it here as my lord, your father has enemies. It cannot be known that you are his daughter.” (Gerard)

Misa turns around and looks at me with eyes that are asking for permission.

“Did you say you were called Gerard? When did you reincarnate?” (Arnos)

The male student looks at me with a guarded gaze.

He seems to be cautious of me.

“No matter how much you are suppressing it, your magic is well beyond the level of the current mazoku. Are you going to carry on hiding it?” (Arnos)

“……As expected of the demon king of tyranny. You saw right through it….” (Gerard)

While still kneeling Gerard bowed his head to me.

“After the war between Deiruheido and Azeshion ended my reincarnation finally completed and my memories and power returned to this body.” (Gerard)

I see.

“I hope you understand that I was not conspiring against the demon king…..” (Gerard)

“Who is your master?” (Arnos)

“I cannot say.” (Gerard)

“Do you think you can stay silent in front of me?” (Arnos)

“……I am prepared to die……” (Gerard)

Fumu. Who’s his lord that he can command so much loyalty?

“Arnos-sama…..” Misa appeals to me.

I don’t need to ask her how she feels about it.

“I’m not that unreasonable as to deny my subordinates heartfelt wishes. Go ahead. I’ll take care of the rest.” (Arnos)

“Thank you very much!” (Misa)

Gerard stands up and addresses Misa.

“Then I shall guide you.” (Gerard)

Gerad heads off to the entrance.

“Aah, wait Gerard. My subordinate will be in your care. You understand right?” (Arnos)

Gerard turned around and bowed.

“Of course.” (Gerard)

“Then you’ll also be taking another one. You won’t even tell me who you really are so I don’t think this demand is too unreasonable. Do you?” (Arnos)

Gerard was silent for a moment before answering.

“I understand.” (Gerard)

I turn around and look at Ray.

“I owe you one.” (Ray)

“Tell me a story when you get back.” (Arnos)

Ray stands up and moves to follow Misa.

“Am I being a hindrance?” (Ray)

*Fufufu* Misa leaks a small laugh.

“It’s reassuring. I’m very nervous after all.” (Misa)

They both smile at each other.

“Let’s go.” (Gerard)

All three of them leave the classroom.

“Eh? Where’s Misa-chan and Kanon gone? A date?” (Eleonor)
