How To Survive at the Demon Academy - How To Survive at the Demon Academy chapter 75

[I heard the story from Martius. I had a pretty interesting experience.]

He must have heard the story of Delune and Astaros.

“I was lucky.”

[Luck… Of course, luck would follow. But if you don’t have skills, you can’t save that luck either. What you did was great enough.]

“thank you.”

[I’m glad you seem to be doing better than I thought. It seems that you are doing well with what I said to make a good relationship.]

He must have heard the report that he destroyed the dungeon with Toby and Harold, so it seemed like he was talking about his relationship with them.

“I’m doing my best not to harm my father’s honor.”

[The important thing is yourself. Don’t miss out on important things while worrying about other things.]

It was simply a screen illuminated by marbles, but it felt like a huge presence was felt even on the screen.

“I will keep that in mind.”

[But why did you contact me?]

“that… .”

After a brief greeting, now it’s time to get to the main point.

I started talking cautiously.

“First of all, there is someone I would like to introduce. If you don’t mind, could you give me a minute?”

[Introduction… It’s a request from my son, whom I’ve been talking to for the first time in a few months, so I’ll have to listen. Who are you?]

“Please wait a moment.”

I looked at Kellyn next to me and gestured.

“You can come here.”

“Yes? Ah yes!”

Kelyn with a very nervous expression.

He always had a face full of composure, but he was so nervous just having a conversation with a magic bead.

To those who live in this world of demons, the existence of the Great Demon King seemed to be a difficult opponent to dare to encounter.

Standing in front of the orb with a stiff face, Kelyn slowly lowered her head.

“It is an honor to meet the dreadlord. My name is Kellyn Craig.”

[The demon wolf clan. But as for Craig… I remember them as those who inherited the duke’s blood.]

“you’re right. It’s such an honor to know.”

Kelyn bowed deeply once again.

Every movement was imbued with extreme respect and a little fear.

Looking around, Duke Ethlon and Serenia were showing similar reactions.

The status of a duke and the daughter of a succubus queen seem to have no meaning in front of the Great Demon King.

‘Is it enough to react like that?’

Being possessed by Kyler Diablick, it was also the first time I had a conversation with Diablo.

But I didn’t feel that afraid, other people seemed different.

‘Is it because my body is used to it?’

That’s the most likely reason.

It was strange for a son to be afraid of his father.

[So, what do you want to convey to me through my son?]

“that… .”

Kelyn, who looked a little nervous, soon found some composure and started a conversation calmly.

“There is only one thing I want to ask of Diablo-sama. Can you accept our Demonwolf clan?”

[Please accept the Demon Wolf Clan… .]

Unexpected offer.

Diablo’s eyes lit up with interest.

[Are you saying you want to come under my command?]

“Exactly. I want Diablo-sama’s army to include our Demonwolf clan as well.”

[Oh… .]

Diablo said while stroking his chin.

[Do you know what that means?]

“of course. It means that I will share all my wishes under the name of Diablo.”

[As far as I know, the former duke had a personality that did not want to belong to anything. Why did you change your mind?]

“that… .”

Kellyn repeated what she had told me earlier.

[Certainly, if the surroundings unite, it will be difficult to endure alone. That’s why you’re going to use my name as a shield.]

“you’re right.”

[Hmm… Kyler, what do you think?]

A question flew to me as I was listening to the conversation from behind.

“Are you saying what I think?”

[okay.]

“I don’t think it’s anything to say.”

It was better to just watch than to say anything here.

But Diablo’s thoughts seemed different.

[Okay. I just want to hear your thoughts.]

“I… .”

I thought about it for a while, but my thoughts were the same as the first.

“I think it is good to accept the offer.”

[The reason is?]

“There are many reasons, but I think the biggest ones are three.”

[Three.]

“first. It does no harm to us by accepting them.”

What Duke Ethlon and Kellin want is to come under the shadow of Diablo.

It’s not about seeking revenge on someone or needing help in a war. They just want the fact that they belong.

Unless the forces around the Ethlon Territory are united, they cannot defeat the Demon Wolf clan.

In other words, the value of Diablo’s name was enough to break the union.

[Right. next?]

“Second, there is a possibility that the alliance with them will lead to the succubus forces.”

[Hoo? That’s another interesting word.]

I briefly explained Serenia.

How close are you to her identity?

I hid the truth that I had to catch my weakness and listen to me unconditionally, but I was able to cover it up as a friend.

[That’s interesting. The Succubus clan is as closed as the Demon Wolf clan. If you can get both at the same time, the story is different.]

Of course, the succubus clan does not come completely under like the demon wolf.

In the first place, the succubus queen was only weak compared to the great demon lords, because she was the strong one located right below them.

However, the alliance alone was sufficient.

[What is the last one?]

“The last… That is what I want to be.”

[Hahaha!]

Diablo bursts into laughter at my words.

[That’s why I like it more than the first two. Yes, my son should have that kind of confidence. I was a little worried after sending it to Demonic, but I’m glad it seems to be doing better than expected.]

Among the information Kylers obtained through his diary and Sebastian was that he always tried to maintain a dignified appearance.

I answered accordingly, and the effect seemed to be better than expected.

“thank you.”

Looking at Diablo’s reaction, it seems like it wasn’t a bad choice.

[Did you say Kelly?]

“That’s right.”

[I will accept your request.]

“Are you sure?”

[okay. The demonwolf clan will be with me and Diablo from now on. Your enemies are my enemies. Attacking you counts as attacking me.]

“thank you… ! I will do my best not to harm Diablo-sama’s name.”

[Please share more details with the butler, Martyus, later. and… .]

Diablo’s gaze turned to me.

[Do not expect to continue to develop in the future.]

“I will try to live up to my father’s expectations.”

[This is a good attitude. Then I’ll just go for it. If you have something to say, feel free to contact me.]

Soon the light disappeared from the orb and communication was lost.

“Whoa… .”

“Whew… .”

“ha… .”

sounds all around you at the same time.

Everyone except me was breathing a sigh of relief.

“I’m glad it seems to have worked out well.”

At my words, Kellyn said with a bright expression.

“This is all thanks to Kyle. Thank you very much.”

“no. Because I, too, have been helping each other to get what I want.”

“It makes me feel more comfortable when you say that.”

I turned my head and looked at Serenia.

“Now, it’s your turn.”

“I see. Is it just communication?”

“okay.”

Serenia also tried to communicate with her mother, the Succubus Queen.

However.

“uh?”

A marble that doesn’t react unlike me.

“Hey, why is this?”

Serenia was taken aback and blew her magic again.

But the beads do not react.

I said narrowing my eyes.

“you… Have you ever been abandoned?”

Could it be that he had an accident and neglected contact?

“No! Why is this?”

Serenia finally hits the marble.

But nothing changed.

Kelyn, who had been watching the scene, approached with a clearing of her throat.

“that… You don’t have to do it right now. Since I got a confirmation from Diablo, I can do the rest slowly… .”

“no! My pride won’t allow that.”

Serenia continued to try to communicate.

“please please!”

Eventually, he desperately put his hands together and prayed, but the beads did not respond.

“why… ?”

I ignored Serenia’s despair and talked to Kellin.

Like Kelly said, it’s not urgent anyway.

“I’ll put the red wolf’s teeth to good use.”

“Is there anything else you need? Please tell me anything. We will help wherever we can.”

“Not right now. However, if you need help, we are always in touch. Now you can say that we are colleagues.”

“All right. Thank you again.”

Kellyn politely bowed her head.

Following that, the Duke of Ethlon also expressed his gratitude.

“I can do nothing but exert myself. If you need my help, please contact me anytime. You are our friend and benefactor.”

“Me too.”

That’s how the work at Ethlon Mansion came to an end.

Except for one person.

“Why not!”

Serenia’s sharp voice echoed through the Duchy.

* * *

As a result, Serenia didn’t help.

I don’t know why, but it was because I couldn’t contact the succubus castle.

After deciding to talk with the succubus clan at the next opportunity, he returned to Demonic.

“How about you stop frowning?”

Serenia kept pouting and expressing her dissatisfaction when she held on to her by the back of her back and brought her by force.

“I didn’t know if I tried a little more… .”

“I don’t think it would have changed much.”

“under… .”

“First, let’s report the completion of the quest.”

“… I see.”

We approached the staff waiting near the magic circle.

“Here is the red wolf tooth, which is a quest item.”

“Yes? Oh, wait. Is it a success, not a failure?”

“Success.”

“uh… .”

An employee with a puzzled expression.

He probably expected us to fail the quest.

“Well… Has confirmed. You have indeed completed the quest. Congratulations.”

“thank you.”

An employee took something out of a box behind him and brought it.

“This is a reward for completing the quest.”

Come to think of it, they said that they would give various rewards when they completed the quest.

Considering that the rewards vary depending on the difficulty level, there was a high probability that this reward would be quite good.

‘If I hadn’t been lucky, I wouldn’t have succeeded.’

The rewards of being taught by professors didn’t mean much to me, so it was better to give them as objects.

I checked the items handed over by the staff.

‘Well?’

A black stone that I have seen somewhere.

It was a Chaos Stone imbued with the energy of dark magic.

‘Is this a reward?’

A Chaos Stone whose value increases as its size decreases.

However, the Chaos Stone in front of him was not much different from the Chaos Stone he had seen in Professor Cedric’s room before.

That said, it is a very valuable item.

‘Luck is with me.’

Through the Chaos Stone, I was able to raise my stats considerably.

If that’s the case, I thought I’d be able to expect quite a bit of a stat increase this time around.

But there was a minor problem.

“Is there any reward?”

“yes. There are also quests with multiple rewards. The reward for this quest is 1 Chaos Stone.”

“okay.”

It was a little disappointing, but considering the value of the Chaos Stone, it was natural.

Two people completed the quest.

But only one reward.

In the end, someone has to give up or share equally.

‘Is it possible to split this in half?’

Looking at the Chaos Stone, I fell into trouble.

Then Serenia approached.

“What do you think?”

“Well? It is nothing. Rather, this reward… .”

“Take it.”

“Well? Are you okay?”

“What… Although the Chaos Stone is precious. Not a good fit for us succubus. Besides, it’s as if you completed the quest by yourself… It’s strange that I get it.”

“That’s right.”

For the first time, Serenia looks pretty.

Saying that, it’s strange to refuse.

‘I’ll eat it thanks.’
