Chapter 1. [Episode 19]
“The Demon King is Suspended from School”

 

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

When I went to the academy, I found that the students around me were blatantly avoiding me. They wouldn’t even make eye contact with me.

…… This is a problem. I was going to ask about the disappearance of elf students.

I went to my seat, wondering what was going on. There was no chair. In addition, there was graffiti on the desk.

[Don’t get carried away.]

[Commoner, get the hell out of here and go back to the countryside.]

Oh, dear. I guess this is what President Ludio meant when he said ‘you will regret it later’.

I looked around, walked up to the men chatting, and kicked the back of a seated student before sitting in his chair.

The students, who were completely unaware, were blown to pieces with all their might, engulfing their desks. Everyone was stunned by the sight.

The man who was talking to the student who was kicked out says in a trembling voice.

[What the hell are you doing?]

[I didn’t have a chair to sit in.]

[Yes, there wasn’t a chair for you, how could this happen?]

[You guys hid the chair and scribbled on the desk, didn’t you?]

[You’ve got proof?]

I looked around the classroom and saw a group of people looking at me and laughing for a moment. I was sure it was them because they were floating in the air while everyone else was looking awkward.

Not at all. Just for taking the throne of a king, normally you’d be beheaded, you know? You should be thankful that I got away with this.

The student who had been blown up along with the desk got up and screamed, his nose dripping blood.

[Hey! Do you know who I am?!]

[Who are you?]

[Oh, I’m the Duke of Aldan! Don’t think you can get away with this!]

[Then don’t harass me anymore with your nonsense. Unless you want to die.]

[~~!!! Tameeeeeeeeee ……!!!]

[And if you’re of a duke descent, perhaps you should be a little more careful with your language. It’s vulgar.]

At that moment, the teacher in charge rushed in.

[What’s going on?]

[Teacher! He kicked the shit out of me! I’m from a noble family!]

[What? Why did you do that?]

[Because he harassed me. Hey, guys?]

I look behind me, but everyone is still looking away.

Well, I knew this was going to happen, and that’s okay.

I did indeed say, ‘Come and beat me anytime,’ but I didn’t tell him to do these stupid things.

I did say, however, that I don’t care what the means are. If you think you can beat me with this, you have no more brains than an insect.

[Theodore, I will not tolerate this day! You will be suspended for the next few days! Is that clear?]

[Even if they’re the ones to blame?]

[Even if they did, the use of violence is unacceptable! I will report this matter to President Lambert as well!]

[Be my guest. Then I guess I can go home?]

As I stood up from my seat in dismay, a student who claimed to be from a ducal family said.

[Wait. Apologize. Now!]

[…… huh. I put what you did on the shelf and now you want me to do that?]

[Ha. I don’t know.]

Human society is a messy thing. ……

There is a noble system in the world of the demon tribe, but no one is so stupid and weak. This is because it is a complete meritocracy.

I am not surprised that I am being asked to apologize by people who would blow his head to pieces at the slightest touch of my finger. It is extremely unpleasant.

[You know, you pulled that prank on me, so I just did it as a lighthearted way of saying hello. I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to blow up so merrily.]

[What the hell?]

[If I had known you were such a weak student, I wouldn’t have done what I did. …… I’m not ready for you to not see the difference in competence.]

[Screw you, you bastard!]

The duke grabbed me.

Just as everyone gasped, someone peeked into the classroom.

[What is it? I thought I heard a lot of noise, so I came to see if it was you, Theo!]

She was a fox girl with golden ears and a long tail.

She twitched her ears in interest, then glanced around the classroom, looked at the teacher, and said,

[I’m sorry, but I don’t know what you’re talking about.]

[Hey, instructor, what’s wrong with Theo? Did Theo do something wrong?]

[Yeah, yeah,…… to the dukes,…… no, it seems he caused violence to a student.]

[Is it true, Theo?]

[I was just trying to get back at them for playing a prank on me, but I was having a hard time getting anyone on my side.]

When I said this in a light-hearted manner, Roca laughed cheerfully, wagging her tail.

[It will be! Look at all the people here, none of them want anything to do with you.]

Roca, who says in an amused tone, turns her attention to the teacher again.

[And? How is the discretion of the instructor?]

[I just suspended him from school. ……!]

[Oh, yes! I knew that Theo would do something within a few days of the entrance ceremony, and I was not mistaken!]

Oh, they were looking at me like that.

[Then, instructor, I’m afraid you won’t be needing Theo for a while longer. Theo won’t be around for a while, will he?]

Roca slinked into the classroom and grabbed my hand.

[I’m going to borrow some of this stuff and use it as my toy!]

As I was being dragged away without knowing why the duke said.

[Hey! Still no apology from the guy!]

[Apology? It was you who made the first move, wasn’t it?]

[Can’t you believe what the dukes say?!]

To the student who snickered, Roca also snickered back.

[I respect my status too, but that’s a whole other story! Don’t hold me back with your nonsense. Let’s go, Theo.]

[Wait a minute, this–]

The moment Roca’s tail slapped the duke student in the face, he fell into a stupor on the spot.

[Roca Corlight! What are you doing?]

[Do you not see how disrespectful the man’s words are to us beasts?]

[……!!! Shhh, but.]

[If this were not a school of learning, I would have broken its neck. The crime of having insulted our tribe deserves universal death.]

Her blow was a tame one.

But the words are filled with murderous intent.

[I don’t know if he’s noble or what, but I am the king. Tell him when he gets up. The next time he speaks the same words again, that will be the end of him.]

The teacher is no longer able to say anything and is stunned.

Roca let out a light sigh as if she was looking at something boring, then looked at me and smiled.

[Now, you’ll only rot in this boring place! Let’s go, Theo!]

I left the place, letting Roca take care of everything.

Roca took me to the back of the school building.

The pale-pigmented girl standing there opened her red eyes.

[Roca! …… and why are you here? Or rather, why are you holding hands with Roca?!]

[No, I don’t know what’s going on either.]

[I brought him here because Theo was causing problems!]

Shaula raises her eyebrows at Roca’s statement.

[Problem? Since he’s that guy anyway, did he do some sexual prank on girls?]

[Don’t compare Theo with you. He just got suspended for running down a good, weak student.]

No, it’s not subtle, Roca?

[I was stunned. I thought if anyone was going to get in trouble for violence first, it would be Roca.]

I feel that Shaula is still Shaula, saying some terrible things on all sides. Are they a king and a subject?

In the first place, I’ve been wondering for a while now, what exactly does it mean to be the king that Roca calls herself?

[I’m sorry. Shaula, you’ve lost. Today I’m going to lavish you with your money as much as I want.]

[Yes, yes, I get it. …… Damn, you are disgusting..]

[Why is it pointed at me? It’s hurtful, isn’t it?]

[I had a bet with Shaula. Who would cause more trouble, me or Theo? I was so sure that Theo would do something that I bet all the money I had at my disposal on you!]

[It’s terrible over here. …… Speaking of which, what are you guys doing in class? They’ve already started.]

[I skipped that stuff.]

[I skipped that stuff.]

They both said the same thing at the same time. These kids are problematic too.

[I’m not going to be stuck listening to a stupid lecture like that. It’s so tedious. And the physical training is so weak that I can’t even talk about it.]

[I don’t care about lectures on magic and such unless you’re going to teach me about …… the structure of a girl’s body. I wish they would teach us about the sexuality of each species.]

It seems certain that these two are not interested in taking the lecture seriously. Probably less motivated than I am.

[By the way, Roca, why did you bring me here?]

[That is, of course, so that the two of us can torture you to death in the middle of nowhere where no one else is!]

[Yeah, and why is that?]

[I was skipping class, as I said before, and I heard a commotion, so I went to see what was going on. I saw Theo there, so I brought him along to kill some time. I and Shaula are going to take a look around the city, would you like to join us? I’m not looking for anything more than a ‘yes’?]

That’s forced, isn’t it? She is the epitome of arrogance.

Nevertheless, this is wishful thinking, let’s hear about the two of them in their way and bring up the example.

[Okay, fine. Where do you want to go?]

[Geez …… I was supposed to be on a date alone with Roca, but this sucks ….…]

[I’m always bored being alone with you. I’m going to take a stroll at my leisure, and you two can follow me quietly!]

I acquiesced to the fox girl’s bluntness, and we all set out for the streets of Mildiana together.
