âHeeey. I wonât say anything today but donât do it again. Okay?â (Eleonor)
She speaks like sheâs telling off a child.
âFumu. Are you listening Sasha?â (Arnos)
âHaaaaaa! How many people are you trying to blame!? I tried to stop you!â (Sasha)
I laughed.
âIâm only playing. I think it good to do it occasionally.â (Arnos)
âWhy are you dragging me into your occasional play?â (Sasha)
âBecause itâs my first meeting with Eleonor I thought Iâd show off my playful side.â (Arnos)
âWhat! Such natural responsibility shifting only shows off your darkness.â (Sasha)
Eleonor seems taken aback watching our interaction but it soon changes to a smile and she laughs.
âThatâs no good Arnos-kun. You need to be kind to girls.â (Eleonor)
âUnfortunately the mazoku donât have such values.â (Arnos)
âWe do.â Sasha says in a flash.
âWhat?â (Arnos)
âDonât what me. I said we do.â (Sasha)
âFumu. However, unlike humans, the mazoku have no difference in ability due to genders. Why does such a thing exist now?â (Arnos)
âI donât know much about humans so I canât comment on them but such manners amongst the mazoku are commonplace now.â (Sasha)
Fumu. I guess a lot changes in 2000 years.
âPerhapsâŚ.â Eleonor starts speaking as she pushes open the gates and enters the academy. â Youâre a reincarnated person Arnos-kun?â
âAhh.â
Following along behind her I answer.
âWow. So there are reincarnated people amongst the mazoku as well?â (Eleonor)
Her tone of voice is almost trivial. It seems reincarnated people are not rare.
Humanâs didnât know the magic of Reincarnation <Silica> but perhaps itâs different in Gairadeite? Itâs also possible itâs limited to the academy only.
âArent reincarnated people rare here?â (Arnos)
âAll the people in [Jergakanon] are reincarnated. AahâŚâŚ!â (Eleonor)
âWhatâs wrong?â (Arnos)
âAahâŚerrrmâŚ.we werenât supposed to mention reincarnation to outsiders. A lot of normal humans find it creepy.â (Eleonor)
I see. I donât believe thatâs the only reason though.
âBuâŚbut its fine. Weâre doing an exchange with the demon king academy and they have reincarnated people as well. Iâm okay. Itâs alright.â (Eleonor)
Eleonor makes a fist. She seems to be trying hard to convince herself.
âItâs fine. I wonât say anything to anyone.â (Arnos)
âAre you like that in the demon king academy as well? Are you all excited about people reincarnating? Here at home, stories about the hero Kanon reincarnating are the most popular.â (Eleonor)
Popularity is a very human concept.
âHas the hero Kanon reincarnated?â (Arnos)
âYup. Four of them. Oh, thatâs a secret as well.â (Eleonor)
Sasha looks puzzled.
âFour of themâŚ.?â (Sasha)
âKanon had seven origins. If each of them reincarnated into different bodies it wouldnât be strange to have four of them.â (Arnos)
Eleonor nods at my words.
âThatâs it. Are the heroes well known in the demon king academy or is it because Arnos-kun is a reincarnated person?â (Eleonor)
âWell, they are known in the demon king academy.â (Arnos)
âReally? Iâve wanted to ask a mazoku for a while now if itâs true but isnât the most popular reincarnated person in the demon king academy the demon king?â (Eleonor)
Eleonor stops and raises her finger.
âThe demon king of tyranny Avos Dillheavia.â (Eleonor)
Sasha silently looks at me.
Fumu. The name has even changed in the hero academy.
I canât say much yet but Iâm certain that itâs not only the humans who are plotting something.
(1) I believe this is the first time Arnos has commented on women beyond their faces or hair so there we go peeps. Our boy Arnos does have a sex drive after all. Turns out he likes huge breasts, he just never saw them đ¤Ł
