#6 Their circumstance: Ria el Nermias circumstance

I was packing my bag. Although not that large, the bag still swallowed up a surprising amount of luggage once I pushed everything down with all my strength.

Spare clothing and underwear, and then food and water

I checked and re-checked the luggage while consulting the list of things I wrote earlier. The trip was supposed to be a lengthy one. It wouldnt hurt to be cautious, right?

Yes, preparing thoroughly is probably the wisest since no one knows what might happen. Riiiight. For instance

Ria!

Bang!

My old classmate, currently the demon kings lackey despite being a human hero, kicked open my door and invaded my room! Yes, things like this are a real possibility!

Bind him.

Kuwaaahk?! H-hey, hold up!

I used the preinstalled magic circle in front of my door to bind the hero. Metal chains shooting out from the floor wrapped around his body, causing my old classmate to cry out in despair.

Youre running away alone?! Alone?!?!

Ng? But, dont you have plenty of prior records of escaping by yourself? And now that Ive looked at you, isnt this eerily similar to how I was so viciously tied up by your blinded-by-food self all those years ago? Ah, ahhh~ I was so sad back then. How could you tie up a weak young girl and even put cuffs on her This is your punishment for back then.

H-hey, wait a second! Didnt that happen, like, a decade ago or something?! Just how long are you going to bite my head for that?!

Of course I couldnt forget it. He dared to put handcuffs on a woman, nay, a young and impressionable girl like me, after all! Having said that, I could have forgiven the hero since the circumstances back then were pretty extreme.

If only he had cuffed me in a normal manner, that is!

He slapped six cuffs on my slender wrists and seven of them on my ankles! That feeling of utter helplessness as my legs got tightly bound, and I couldnt do anything other than count the rising number of cuffs! Ill probably remember that feeling right up until my final breath!

You have done something cruel to a frail young girl back then.

A frail girl?

The hero muttered as if he was doubting his hearing. He wasnt acting but being genuine just then. So, I!

Grit!

I gritted my teeth and hurled several choice magic spells in Swinns way.

Not stopping there!

C-r-u-s-h him!

Kkuweeek?!

I threw a nearby book at him and activated another spell simultaneously. It was a spell to explosively increase the weight of an object. I even used a magic stone for it, so the books increased weight should be heavier than a massive boulder.

S-save me!

Arent you a hero? A symbol of invincibility? I know you wont die from this, so behave yourself. And dont make a ruckus, either.

Snap!

I snapped my fingers and made his screams inaudible.

I was right. My skills have gotten better lately.

This wasnt any ordinary silence magic. The space itself had been partitioned off, preventing any and all noise from entering or leaving. It wasnt as simple as using magical energy to block out sounds. No, this technique was incomparably more advanced.

I was told that my getting more familiar with this technique would eventually grant me the best-possible shield thats capable of blocking out not just sounds but vision, light and all types of magic, too!REaad updated stories at

He really cant use magic, right?

Funnily enough, it was the instructor who taught me about this technique.

The original agreement was for him to release me right after Belegreas enthronement ceremony, but there was simply too much work. So, the instructor asked me to be more patient until we could find someone from the demon race to take over my job.

I had to wonder if he was lying to keep me here. But I had to nod my head in acceptance when he pulled out a Geass Roll, which he repeatedly said that he didnt have many left.

If Im being honest, its not like I dont believe the instructors explanations, but

Ive been partnering with the victim a Great Devil of the scam contract induced by that Geass Roll for such a long while that it became natural for me to remain sceptical.

Shockingly, though, the instructor kept his words. Not only that, he even taught me a few new magic techniques while saying that they were compensation for my working for free all this time. One of them happened to be this space-manipulating magic.

What an out-of-the-box magic technique this was. So much so that I found it hard to believe that my instructor couldnt use magic at all. Not even someone with a masters degree in magic could have thought up this technique, Id imagine.

If its the instructor, then its totally possible, right? Hes definitely capable of smacking me in the back of the head with, I was an archmage all along! or something like that

My hands shoving luggage inside the bag sped up faster and faster.

The instructor said, Using teleportation magic to separately transfer a persons body and head might be a useful way to attack, dont you think? during his explanation. He also mentioned that If you use the space-manipulation magic I taught you just now to set coordinates near the enemys throat, wouldnt their head separate from their body the moment they try to move?

Scary.

To think that he was creating a mass murder magic spell using an unimaginable method! Whats even scarier was that his suggestion seemed to be so, so very efficient, too!

As an example, lets say that a group of magicians cut off the space horizontally in a straight line right in the middle of an intense battlefield. What would happen if the enemy soldiers and cavalry charged straight in without realising anything?

The moment they come into contact with the space, their upper and lower torsos would be cleanly split in half.

If this idea could be implemented in reality, itd be the arrival of one of the most effective sure-kill trap magic in existence.

I knew it. I need to run away as soon as possible.

I gotta bounce right now when the instructor was allowing me to leave. Otherwise, who knows whats in store for me later!

I finished shoving luggage inside my bag, then pulled out a few magic stones from my pocket. I had stashed them away during my work for a rainy day.

Here, a gift from me.

Was it because I had completely blocked out all sounds? I couldnt hear the sounds of the magic stones landing on the spot right in front of the heros face. Well, I still couldnt hear his screaming even after another book was placed on him, so I guess that makes sense!

Well, then. This is goodbye.

Since youre my classmate and all, I shall pray to the Goddess of Benevolence that you avoid the fate of getting beaten up by the metal bat.

-Betrayal? Who did I betray?

-What do you mean, who?! You betrayed the great Goddess, Arcadia, thats who!

Uh-huh! How dare a mere creation demand worship from her creator!

While I was failing to see the need to retort to the metal bats completely ridiculous claims

Next up on the agenda is To bring to life the system of governance as declared by our noble king, the suitable candidate is

Just as Belegrea reached that part, I got up from my throne and declared loudly. My daughter, Alice, shall be appointed to the position of the Minister of Agriculture!

Ng? Dad, whats that? My daughter looked up at me while tilting her head.

Too cute. Too fatally cute!

Mm Simply put, my dear daughter, you can do whatever you want with all the farming in the demon continent.

Inscrutable are the kings favour! Your Majesty!

Plop!

The way my daughter prostrated on the ground oh-so-perfectly was rather similar to the historical dramas I watched in the past.

Dear daughter? Where did you even learn to do that?

Ng? Big sis told me to do this earlier, though?

-Hey, you

-Euiinng? But I saw such a scene in your memories, master?

Dammit! She stole another look at my memories while I was distracted, didnt she!

Dear daughter, theres no need to do that.

Ng? Really?

Yes.

Mm Ah! Dad! Let me do one more thing!

What one more thing do you speak of, child?

Minister of Chicken Department!

There is no department like that, but since you want it, we shall have to create it, now shant we!

Inscrutable are the kings favour! Your Majesty!

When my daughter prostrated quickly once more, all I could do was chuckle hollowly. Since shes so adorable, lets brush it aside this one time.

Belegrea urgently asked me. B-but, sire? Will this really be alright?

Yes. The actual work will be done by other demons, after all.

What we needed now was someone to fill the position the first position of a government minister in history. And by getting this position, my dear daughter will finally enjoy the dignity of a chieftain of a tribe!

No other demon would dare to look down on my little girl during tribal conferences now that Ive done this! Of course, if some chieftain dared to look down on her, Id have thrown them into jail with all sorts of trumped-up charges!

Well, then. Sire, its time to select the Minister of Economy and Finance. My recommendations are

Knock, knock!

Even before Belegrea could finish her sentence, sounds of knocking reached us and Ria stepped through the doorway.

Mm. Good timing.

Will you do it?

Nope.

Tsk. She doesnt even know what it is, but to offer such a quick response How lamentable that is.

Ill be leaving now, sire.

I see. Take care.

I nodded once, and Ria replied with a slight nod of her own, then quickly left the room without even a single glance back.

Well, thats too bad. She had been a fairly useful no, a very useful talent up until now.

May I continue, sire?

Of course.

If Im being honest, these ministerial positions were going to be filled by those folks Belegrea recommended to me. We were simply selecting people whod take responsibility when things go sideways, after all. With the sole exception of my daughter, all these ministers were basically meat shields.

And so, while listening to Belegrea diligently yap on and on, I began pondering what I should do to entertain my daughter this evening.

Without realising that yet another threat had reached my side in the meantime.

#7 Their circumstance: Ria el Nermias circumstance

Hah-ah

A relieved sigh jumped out of my mouth.

I leaned my back against the nearby wall to prop myself up instead of my shaking legs. Without this solid walls support, Id have plopped down on my butt by now.

No, not yet Its not over yet.

Thats right, it wasnt over yet.

I bit down hard on my lip. While tasting the blood pooling inside my mouth, I clenched the magic stone inside my pocket.

Ive managed to overcome the biggest obstacle. But the next hurdle happened to be the disciple our instructor had personally raised. One who happened to resemble the instructor the most!

I will definitely escape from you, Mirua.

While thinking about one more tall mountain I had to overcome for the sake of my perfect getaway, I stoked the burning flames of my will to escape.
