The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)-Chapter 31.1

After our break, I went back to Deruzogedo demon king school like usual and since today is our first day back after the dungeon exam our results will also be announced.

When I entered our classroom Misha and Sasha were already sitting down next to my seat.

“Yo,” I call out to them as I sit down.

“………Good morning…….” Misha says in a modest voice.

“Good morning. Nee, did you manage to clear up the misunderstanding?” Sasha asks leaning forward over my desk.

“What are you talking about?” When I ask her Sasha gives me an amazed look.

“What am I on about? Your parents. Me and Misha and aren’t going to marry you. Don’t you get the importance of this? What are you going to do?”

“Fumu. Is it that unpleasant?”

Sasha blushed when I asked her and looked away.

“……I’m not saying that…..idiot……”

A feeble mutter leaked out.

“If you have any complaints, say it directly.”

Sahsa turns back to me glaring while her <Demon Eyes of Ruin> had activated.

“Anyway. Because you put that ring on Misha left ring finger it’s now complicated.”

I look over at Misha and there on her left hand is the <Ice Lotus Leaf Ring>.

“Doesn’t it fit on any other finger?”

Misha blinks a couple of times then nods.

“It’s significant”

“The left ring finger?”

Misha nods.

“Engagement.”

“Aah, I see. Is that why my mother got so excited?”

Thing is, my mother is always excited. I didn’t know the reason but it was the ring. That’s why she started talking about happiness and other things.

“I’m amazed. How did you not know that?”

“I’ve only recently reincarnated. I haven’t had the time to learn a lot of things.”

“Didn’t this exist two thousand years ago?” Misha asks.

“Aah. Engagements two thousand years ago were done under Contract <Zekt> so you didn’t have to worry about being betrayed.”

“What’s that? Were emotions broken two thousand years ago?”

I laughed at Sasha’s words and nodded.

“In the age of myths, everyone was involved in the whirlpool of war. If you showed love to someone they would be the first to die.”

“Hmmm. Then Arnos, errm……”

Sasha looks at my face with upturned eyes.

“……..So there was no favourite girl………?”

When I looked down at Sasha she lowered her face as if to hide.

“Wha, please say something…….”

“It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect to be asked such a question. It’s quite fresh.”

A favourite girl? This me?

“Were you never asked?”

“Aah. They probably thought the demon king of tyranny would never fall in love with someone. Well, actually, they were right. There were no easy times in that age.”

Who to kill next and what to destroy next.

I was doing my best to protect Deiruheido from the front.

I’m now talking about a favourite girl. I don’t understand it.

“Fumu. I’ve got some time until Avos Dillheavia shows some movement. This is my long-awaited peace. It might not be bad to try falling in love.”

I looked into Sasha’s eyes and she blushed a deep red.

“Wh…why are you telling me……?”

“Is that a problem?”

“……It’s…. it’s not a problem particularly……..” Sasha mutters feebly.

“Hey, Sasha.”

“What?”

“Your face is red.”

Sasha hides her face in her arms.

“….It’s…..its not red, idiot…….!!”

She glared at me over the top of her arms but seeing that I wasn’t bothered in the slightest she turned the other was as if to escape.

“Arnos.”

I turn around at the sound of Misha’s voice.

“Take it off?”

Misha shows me the <Ice Lotus Leaf Ring> on her left hand.

“Why?”

Misha quietly looks into my eyes.

“Arnos wants to fall in love.”

“Well, I only said it on a whim.”

“Misunderstood.”

I see. With me putting that ring on her left ring finger people might misunderstand and think we are engaged. She offered because I might be troubled if I try falling in love.

“Do you want to remove it?”

Misha’s eyes round when I ask her. After staring at me expressionlessly she shook her head.

“Then wear it until you get bored. I’m not petty enough to tell someone how they should use a gift.”

“Won’t you be misunderstood?”

I laugh at Misha’s words.

“I’m not bothered about misunderstandings Misha. A misunderstanding won’t become true no matter how long you wait. It’s fine if the other person is wrong.”

“You might be saying something cool but please be a little bit bothered. Especially in front of your parents.”

Unnecessary interference comes from Sasha’s side.

“Ah, that reminds me. There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you for ages—”

Just then the bell sounded and Emilia walked in.

“What?”

“It’s fine, I’ll ask you later.” Sasha then turned to face the front.

“Good morning. Today I will announce the results of the dungeon test.”

Emilia announces the scores of each group one by one.

No other group reached the treasure room apart from us. Most got between 30 to 50 points. The highest score so far is 70 points.

“—And finally the score of Arnos’ group. Arnos’ group was able to obtain the King’s Sceptre that lay on the bottom floor.”

When Emilia announced that the whole classroom became noisy.

“However, very regrettably, the King’s Sceptre was stolen before we could verify it.”

The classroom became even noisier.

“Right now the full power of Deruzogedo is looking for the criminal. Until its found Arnos’ group will be given 70 points on a tentative basis until the sceptre is found.”

I heard the sound of a desk being hit next to me.
