The Cute Master Was Actually the Black Demon King

27 – No matter how great the imperial family is

“… ….”

Quaang, quaaang!

In the middle of the sky above the imperial palace, a harsh roar erupted.

Various types of magic flew around in the form of bombardments, but those magics didn’t fulfill their meaning.

「Shield」

「Blue-green tree trunk」

Ashera simply spread a colorless shield to block magic, and Friedrich defended himself from the bombardment in his own way.

“… ….”

Whee Oh Oh-

Once, a wind blew between the two great mages.

Ashera had a faint smile on her lips, and Friedrich seemed to be feeling a lot of tension.

Finally, it was Friedrich who spoke first.

“…… I can’t believe it.”

“…… ?”

At a bit of a sudden, Ashera placed her hand on her chin and tilted her head.

I can’t believe it, Ra.

‘Well, I guess I should know roughly what they’re going to say.’

The appearance of a wizard of the same level as himself or higher than that of a great mage.

The appearance of such a person, at least from the outside, looks like a teenage girl, or he must be struggling with the true identity of such an unknown person.

Asherah raised the corners of her mouth with her subtlety.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve had a wizard who can be said to be at least equal to me in battle.’

While thinking that in her heart, she tries hard to suppress the aggression that keeps rising.

And.

“This level of magic, and that calm attitude.”

Toward her, Friedrich opened her mouth again.

“To be honest, I was surprised. I thought that the only great mage who surpassed me was the enemy demon king.”

With a slightly dejected expression, Friedrich let out a blank laugh.

He seems to be feeling a lot of different emotions.

Slowly, a complex light began to emerge over his expression.

“The world is wide, and the possibilities of magic are endless, Friedrich Edwald. What you know is not everything in the world.”

“… ….”

It was Ashera who spoke as if he were teaching, but at least in that respect, Friedrich had no complaints.

No, rather, there was something I was convinced of.

“…… There is a part of you that is right. Or rather, should I say that it is extremely accurate?”

At some point, Friedrich’s expression was becoming more comfortable.

“I was overconfident in myself and looked down on the world at the same time. Apologize, unknown archmage.”

“…… hehehe.”

Friedrich slightly lowered his head, and Ashera’s eyes flashed.

That Imperial family archmage bows down to an unknown archmage-level intruder.

If a member of the Imperial Family of Magicians or a noble of the Empire saw this scene, they would literally have their mouths wide open.

That great mage, that Friedrich Edwald.

A sight of a great mage-level magician who, excluding the 12 demon lords, who cannot be treated carelessly even by the emperor of an empire, bows his head to a mere girl.

First of all, he must have doubted his own eyes.

It was such a hard-to-believe sight, and it was such a polite attitude.

“Until a while ago, they were throwing magic at them as if they were going to rule it out at any moment. Any change of heart?”

“There is no such thing as a change of heart, just.”

At Ashera’s light question, Friedrich extended his words once more.

A faint glow began to form in his eyes.

“Even though you were able to overwhelm me, he treated me on a level with me. Doesn’t that prove what you said?”

Friedrich spat out a word calmly.

At that, Ashera’s eyes narrowed slightly.

From noble mtl dot com

“…… I mean, what do you mean?”

First of all, Ashera asked that question in order to see through his intentions, and Friedrich laughed empty-handedly at that.

“You said that, right? He had no intention of antagonizing me and the imperial family. It got to the point where I had no choice but to believe that.”

“Hmm… …. Keep talking.”

The bloody spirit that was rampant on the battlefield had been neatly dispersed before I knew it.

I didn’t even get my words right, but Ashera and Friedrich started to land on the ground at the same time.

By the time his toe touched the corridor of the imperial palace, Friedrich had stopped him from speaking again.

“Just by looking at this, it is. The fact that I moved the battlefield to the sky above the imperial palace in order not to damage it, and the fact that I had several opportunities to poke my gap, but I didn’t do it.”

“… ….”

“Doesn’t all of that mean that you have no intention of enmity with the imperial family?”

Friedrich ended his words with a gentle smile.

“…… Hmm.”

The corners of Ashera’s mouth began to rise subtly.

Her golden eyes sparkled brightly once.

“The Archmage of this generation is quite wise. Oh, I’m not particularly sarcastic. Should I just call him a sage, literally?”

“That’s an honor. Although the identity is unknown, it is a rare experience to hear such an evaluation from a wizard far superior to me.”

“The language is a bit communicative. It’s nice to have a little flexibility.”

Ashera put the wand into the ah space, letting out her laugh at the bash.

Then, as if showing no hostility, she playfully raised her hands.

“Fortunately, things seem to have turned out well, so I will help in my own way. It was not a lie when I said that I came here because I was worried about my student.”

“…… Disciple, la. Yeah, that’s what I said.”

Somewhere in Friedrich’s eyes, a passionate expression began to form.

“What kind of person is he? He must be a wizard who is currently exerting great influence on the continent, right? Or is he a divinity just starting to grow?”

He poured out his words with his eyes shining, and Ashera’s expression strangely distorted.

“…… What. What do you want to know about my disciple?”

I wonder if there was an idea that came to my mind right away.

She started to live in her voice little by little.

“…… Just in case, if you intend to steal my lovely student—”

He said he would know what would happen then, even if he didn’t say it.

After adding that, Ashera turned around.

“Where are you going?”

However, Frederick asked, regardless of the murderous intent, and tendons sprouted from Ashera’s forehead.

“…… I’m going to meet my disciple. What, do you have any complaints?”

Muttering that, Ashera tilted her head slightly and met Friedrich’s eyes.

Saaa-

Slowly, bloody mana began to rise from her right hand.

That must be a warning, Friedrich could intuit.

“Heh heh… …. Your disciple must be a very happy person. If you are loved this much by a great mage-class mage.”

Friedrich took a step back at the feeling that he would have to bump into it again if he dug any further.

I couldn’t help but be intrigued by the disciple whom an unknown great mage favored.

It didn’t seem like a good choice to continue to show her interest when she, the person in charge of her, refused to this extent.

“…… Joy.”

And, Friedrich’s choice was excellent.

The mana, which seemed like it would create magic at any moment and create an abnormality in reality, began to sway and scatter.

Then Ashera turned her body around and walked away again.

‘What is the disciple doing?’

She thought to herself of the platinum-haired boy and moved on with her gun-like strides.

Although the imperial family’s great mage discovered the stealth magic, they fought against each other once.

It’s fortunate that we reached an ending that could be said to be fortunate.

‘Well, that’s not bad.’

Evaluating her impression of Friedrich in a positive way, Ashera smiled lightly.

Of course, she was beaten while looking after him, but recognizing and acknowledging that was another matter.

In addition to that, just letting go of an unknown strongman to roam around the imperial palace as he pleases must have required a decision of its own.

As he is at the top of the five-star imperial mage corps, it wouldn’t have been easy for him to make that choice.

“Friedrich Edwald.”

As she muttered his name briefly once, Ashera let out a chuckle.

Wouldn’t that be fine?

I didn’t have much ties with the imperial family, but in this generation, at least once in a while.

“…… hehehehe~”

As if she felt better, Ashera started humming a little.

“──.”

─And.

It was right after that.

“Ashera!”

“…… ?”

At the same time a familiar voice resounded.

Ahhhhh!

“…… !”

A blue spear was pierced to Friedrich, who was just staring blankly at Ashera’s back.

“…… ???”

Ashera’s expression was colored with absurdity.

Because Friedrich was attacked?

…… No, rather than that.

A blue spear that flew towards Friedrich and was intercepted by his magic circle.

Because it was very familiar and very friendly.

“…… My, disciple?”

Ashera began to break out in a cold sweat.

And about that.

Quang!

In the corridor of the imperial palace, White came out, smashing one of the pillars.

“…… !”

At the sight of the platinum-haired boy falling from above, Friedrich widened his eyes.

…… I don’t know what it is, but for now.

“… ….”

「Wave」

Ugh-

Friedrich used mana once.

Paaang!

Soon, that mana took the form of a magic circle and flew towards White.

“… ….”

Simple magic that creates a small wave, but if the caster were a great mage, the power would be extraordinary.

You should be frightened by the waves of air that resonate through space.

Just changing his expression inorganically, White clasped one hand tightly.

And within.

Puuu!

White changed the mana she was holding in her grasp into an explosion and made it burst out.

“…… If I touched Master, I wouldn’t just go over it, no matter how much I was the great mage of the imperial family.”

With a bloody look in his eyes, White murmured briefly.

“… ….”

“… ….”

At that point, Friedrich and Ashera’s expressions had changed subtly.

“…… Ah, brother. Please, back book.”

Ashera narrowed her brows as if she was dizzy and covered her forehead with her palm.

…… No, why?

His own lovable disciple.

Are you going to do something like that now, at this moment when everything has ended neatly?

A feeling of shame came over me for some reason, and Ashera jerked her head away to look away from her white face.

‘…… Oh, I don’t know. Take care of yourself, disciple.’
