The Demon Dragon Knight Becomes a Servant
Chapter 19: The Steps
The…!!
The sound of the school bell has shown that there is a break. Touya who sat at the back also tidied his books into a bag.
Shortly after, the girls walked up to his seat.
“Hei hey, your name is Miyaji right?!”
Touya who was surprised because his table was filled by the girls also answered nervously.
“A-ah .. true.”
“Before you were in which school?”
“I ... comes from Kuoh.” school
“Aah, Kuoh yes! Why did you suddenly move here?”
Touya instantly fell silent and glanced at left right. Cold sweat ran down his face and the salivary that was flooding down his throat was swallowed nervously by Touya.
And when his mouth was nervous to answer what, something else caught the attention of the students in the classroom. Alicia's arrival in the classroom took everyone's attention to make them speechless.
“Woah, Brother Alicia!”
“A prima donna from class 3-A is coming here. Who is he looking for?”
And unexpectedly, if Alicia turned out to come to Touya who was on the verge of the crowd of girls.
“Touya”
“A-ah, Brother Alicia?”
“Reina looking for you.”
“E-eh?! Miss?!”
Alicia nodded slowly and turned her way first to get out of her class. While Touya immediately stood up and followed from behind.
“T-wait for Alicia!”
“(Thank God, I can get out of that situation!)”
***
Touya immediately ran and followed Alicia who was passing through the school hallway. Confused, Touya asked him.
“Sister Alicia, why did miss suddenly look for me?”
“Reina has something to talk about. He asked me to come to the club room soon”
“Club room?”
“True.”
As they talked, it was not long before the two of them stopped stepping and were faced by a door. Alicia without hesitation immediately opened the door and went inside.
Kreak…!!
When entering, there was Haru sitting on the sofa and Reina who was standing behind an open window. The sound of the entrance attracted Reina to look forward and look at Touya and Alicia.
“You've come ya”
“Nona, what's suddenly calling us?”
Reina took a step and sat down on a chair that was behind her desk.
“First of all, welcome to the magic” club
“Klub...magic?”
Touya tilted his head in surprise when he heard what Reina said. A magic? Did he hear wrong?
“Nona, did I hear wrong? Magic club?”
“Bar”
“Wait a minute, my brain is a little hard to accept that name. But why the magic club? Can't the swimming club? Tennis club? The volleyball club? Or even a volunteer club?”
Haru who was sitting quietly on the sofa also replied flatly.
“Well, if that's what I know. But why?!”
Touya still did not understand why the four of them could be in a magic club. Until finally, Alicia who was standing next to him also explained.
“This club is just a formality. Reina created this club with the aim of making a disguise within the school”
“Cognition?”
“As you know, we are different beings to humans. And the activities we do have connections with the devil and also mystical things. When you were stabbed by Ooyama Yuri first, it was one of the events that needed to be handled by people like us”
Touya tried to swallow Alicia's entire explanation. On the surface at first he was difficult to understand what he meant. But, at the end of the word Touya could understand the outline.
“Ah, meaning this magic club is just a lie?”
“One-timely” Reina said
“Our activities that will be related to the demons and also the mystical abilities need a camouflage. Moreover, if there is an unexpected incident elsewhere, we can use the club name for attendance permission from school”
“So yes. Very useful, very genius!”
“Haha, thank you”
After an initial explanation of the club's whereabouts, Reina began to withdraw her seat and talk more seriously.
“Good. Since the club's introduction is over, there's something I'd like to discuss. Touya, this is related to Ooyama Yuri”
“Ooyama Yuri?!”
Hearing the name made Touya stunned in silence. His body began to recall the sensation of a spear piercing through his heart feathers and the depths of the lake that drowned Touya in the darkness.
Reina saw that Touya still could not forget about it. How could? He once died at the hands of Yuri who pretended to be the weak girl he helped. Of course it's a big blow to the mental.
However, Reina could not stop to explain the situation.
“I asked Alicia to check the scattered energy circulation throughout the city. What's more, there are some people I've asked to find information about his movements. And apparently, he still quite often roam here” said Reina
Not finished there, Alicia also continued the conversation.
“Ooyama Yuri's. Or you could say, Foriffus Yuria. He was a high-class demon who was within the rebel demon faction”
Alicia explained the details about the information she got about Yuri. He, who came from the rebel faction, had a clear goal of looking for the demons from the new kingdom who sided with Zephkiel's current government.
It was unexpected, that information about Touya being the son of Theodore Elric had leaked. I don't know where the information can be obtained from them, but what is certain is that the murder Yuri made against Touya was for the sake of getting rid of Touya who was a threat to them.
“So the point is, I have been their target from the beginning ya” murmured Touya
“True. Your existence is very dangerous for them. Therefore, they are willing to send someone to kill you before you realize or your power rises”
Hearing Reina's words, made Touya hesitate again. Strength rises? Is that a possible thing?
He himself at this moment could not be sure that the path he chose was appropriate for him or not. Without magic energy, Touya would not be able to fight against such powerful demons.
When Touya was doubting himself, Reina could realize it in just a glance.
“All need process kok Touya. You don't need to rush and feel doubt”
“No-nona?!”
“You can definitely. Just trust yourself. I trust you”
Those words from Reina meant a lot to him. Therefore, Touya carved in himself not to give up easily anymore. And never doubted himself again.
“Good, miss!”
“Then, how about the movement of Yuri, Alicia?” said Reina who at the end asked Alicia
“Cannot be confirmed. The movement is moving between churches that have been scattered in this city area”
“Are there people from other rebel factions working with him?”
“For that, should I make sure in advance”
“Good. Then I'm counting on you”
“Give me”
