The Academy’s Secret Club [Part 1]
The Royal Capital’s academy housed various clubs run independently by the students. The gathering of young ladies that started in an empty classroom to find the correct angles for bows and curtsies when Melsa’s mother, Duke Hilda Sullivan aka [the Manner Demon], attended the...

After the meeting at the underground jail.
We temporarily took Alveiro out of the jail, and followed Finar's plan to bring him outside.
The destination was the Demon Realm....
Now that the teleportation door to the Demon Realm's Royal Capital had been installed, it was possible for us to go back and forth from the Rogard Empire to the Demon Realm at any time.
But only secretly.
As I recalled, it would have caused a great deal of...

Saying this, Alveiro looked at me.

Demon King Finar asked back at his subordinate's report, with a slight grimace on his face.
"Ha, we received an apology saying that they had intended to contact us, but because of the possibility of the culprit escaping, they had no choice but to act first. In reality, they wanted to take the initiative in this matter to improve the reputation of the Rogard Empire and prove their autonomy."

When I got up, there were two fairies in the room.
Based on the conversation, I could assume that the other one was Primme's sister.

Primme's older sister said so.

As we were talking, Swaying Bear squealed.
I looked in the direction the Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were facing and saw the knight from earlier coming out of the door.
We closed our mouths and ducked for cover. The knight went to his horse, picked up the reins that were hooked on a tree, got on his horse, and rode away.
It seemed like he didn't notice us.

Night.
A group of people was moving forward in the deep darkness, where not even the moon was visible.
Although they were all wearing armor, the noisy metallic noise was eliminated by magic, and the way they advanced in the darkness, where even their footing was uncertain, with only the minimum of light, showed a certain degree of skill.
They were always alert of their surroundings as they moved through the streets of the ups...

It really pisses me off.
The knights were arrogant and overbearing just because they had the Lord behind them.
Moreover, they were so strong that I couldn't even raise a complaint with them.
