chapter 3
3 – My Little Master
“… ….”
White’s expression softened.
That is, in the life before the regression.
It was at a time when the world was just sinking into chaos.
The 12 demon kings occupy the throne, and at the same time, the black demon king who is called the strongest demon king.
In other words, he led his teacher, Ashera, into a trap.
That was also something that 9 of the 12 demon lords agreed to.
In fact, with the exception of two, all of the most evil wizards were like enemies to him.
…… They forced Ashera’s mana to run wild, and even corrupted her mind using mental magic.
‘─I can never forgive you.’
White’s eyes began to glow with anger.
…… Even though he is a part of the 12 demon kings, his own teacher.
Ashera was a very gentle girl.
…… Whether or not she was old enough to actually be called a girl, aside from that.
Anyway, she didn’t even touch the evil that most demon lords do.
It’s just that he was included in the 12 demon kings because of his achievements in the great war at one time in the past.
Although he is said to have the sin of killing on his back, he was a person who should not be regarded as the same as the other 12 demon lords.
…… She was like that
That kind of her, her, her, her demon lords.
He even controlled his mind and made him go wild.
‘…… They were fools.’
They underestimated Ashera’s mana.
I don’t know what the purpose of making her run wild, but one thing is clear.
Their attempts failed, and Ashera’s overly powerful magical powers brought the world to an end.
Of course, I know that all 12 demon lords died.
“…… Foolish, foolish bastards. Insignificant things dare my master.”
Kung, Koogung-
“… ….”
White’s emotions began to fluctuate, and the mansion began to shake as if it had faced an earthquake.
“What, what?”
“Bocchan, are you okay? It seems that the ground shook for a moment…….”
“…… I’m okay.”
White smiled lightly as he gently pushed away the servant who was extending his hand with concern.
‘…… Let’s calm down.’
You shouldn’t be swayed by your emotions.
On the contrary, you can only call yourself a first-class wizard if you know how to use and entangle those emotions.
Although it is said to be a one-time story, is it possible to write it only when he, who has risen to the level of a great mage, is so easily swept away by emotions?
“… ….”
…… Well, it could be said that the existence of Ashera is so important to him.
I felt a bit embarrassed, so I scratched my cheek once.
White threw her arms over her window and looked up at her blue sky.
“…… It is a beautiful sky.”
It was half unconscious that I muttered so much because I was soaked in emotion.
Should I say this is a unique characteristic of a patient at the end of the second grade?
It’s all about talking to oneself a lot and the expression hardening.
‘Just this time. Master, I won’t let Ashera run wild.’
She must stop doing anything that makes her commit such a sin again.
“…… Certainly.”
It was all the fault of the second grader…….
“‘It’s a pretty sky’.”
“…… !”
That’s why White often had to face situations like this out of necessity.
“Su, Master?”
From behind, a familiar voice recited the same words he had uttered earlier.
White quickly looked behind her.
“Whoops. The disciple is really, really cute too, right? She seems to be muttering such lines because she is so sentimental to herself.”
“… ….”
At Ashera’s continued words, White’s face heated up.
“…… Forget about it, please.”
“Ah, how could I forget that?”
Ashera poked White with her elbow, keeping her coy expression on her face.
“…… ‘It’s a pretty sky’, Rani. Not some 15 year old boy. Disciple is about to turn 20 soon? Do you know?”
“…… Oh, little Master.”
“Come to think of it, the fact that the disciple’s name was ‘White’ was all decided when the disciple was young—”
“Aagh!”
“…… Oh, what a surprise.”
Did I get eaten up by a sense of shame?
White screamed.
She let out her cheesy laugh at him, and Ashera opened her mouth again to speak.
“Coming to think of it, I know I was definitely called by the family head. Did something happen?”
“…… Ah.”
Only then does White grab hold of her spirit again.
“That thing.”
He replied, shedding tears from his dejection.
Yes.
She is so calm, with an attitude as if she doesn’t know anything.
White put one word in his mouth.
“I heard that one of the 12 Demon Lords moved.”
“… ….”
Ashera’s expression hardened momentarily, but she quickly returned to normal.
White clearly noticed such a change in her, but at least she didn’t show any sign of it outwardly.
He continued her speech in a relaxed manner.
“Of course, not all of the 12 demon lords have their identities revealed……. It seems that it was ‘he’ who made the move this time.”
“…… What if you say ‘that’?”
Ashera spat out cautiously.
Then White opened her mouth again with her insignificant expression.
“Perhaps even Master knows. That ‘gold’ demon king.”
“…… Is it ‘golden’?”
Ashera bit her lip in an unusual look.
That was a reaction that made me wonder enough.
“Oh, the reaction is strange. Master?”
“…… Uh, yes?”
Really casually, White led the conversation.
He continued her words with a thin smile draped over his lips.
“I thought you responded as if you knew something.”
“…… !”
Ashera’s expression hardened at White’s calm and weak words.
“… ….”
She narrowed her eyes once at him.
“…… If.”
White spat out a word that caught her off guard.
“Are you acquainted with the ‘golden’ demon king?”
“… ….”
In an instant, what could be called her expression disappeared from Ashera’s face.
‘…… It’s cute.’
And at her reaction, White let out a small laugh.
At least if it’s related to these issues, that is, the 12 demon lords.
She is the one who leads her, she is none other than she is meant to be herself.
At luck that only rarely comes, White smiled sadistically inwardly.
‘I should take this opportunity to harass her.’
…… That kind of thing, at least muttering inwardly something that was absolutely not something I would have thought of with my teacher.
*****
“…… Well, I guess that’s why my father decided to send the family wizards.”
“Um… ….”
As White’s explanation ended, Ashera let out a drool as if she had been waiting.
It was really embarrassing and embarrassing.
“…… Ha.”
“… ….”
Looking at Ashera, who was taking a deep sigh, with strange eyes, White opened her mouth again.
“…… A day ago. I felt a strong magical response from the eastern part of the Empire, that is, the Golden Magic Tower, and it seems that the imperial family is paying attention in various ways to it.”
“It must have been… ….”
Asherah let out a heavy sigh.
She didn’t do anything, she just chatted for a while.
She looked pretty tired.
‘…… Did I bother you too much?’
With that thought in mind, White scratched her cheek at her shallow guilt.
Yeah, I figured out one more thing.
One piece of information, Master reacts very sensitively to the affairs of the 12 Demon Kings.
Let’s take that for comfort.
“…… Well, anyway, so Master.”
“Oh, yes?”
White felt the need to change the topic for her sake.
He began to speak slowly as he moved his steps.
“That’s why, it seems that the Empire will be noisy in many ways for a while. Because the matter is the matter.”
“I guess so, right?”
Ashera grunted, clutching her throbbing head.
Anyway, if that golden demon moved.
I won’t just move on to happenings.
There will definitely be one or two big and small incidents.
…… And.
In such a situation, taking advantage of the chaotic trend of the empire.
White had a plan in mind.
‘…… This time, I will deal with the golden demon king.’
White’s blue eyes flashed once with a bloody light.
However, he quickly erased that sign.
“…… Master.”
“Yes?”
White turned her head to meet Ashera’s gaze.
Ashera looks like she’s asking what’s going on.
With her grave expression at her, White spat out her words very carefully.
“…… Seriously, I have something to share with Master. Regarding Master and me, about future events.”
“… ….”
And with that one word.
Ashera’s expression went blank for a moment, then hardened.
She tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand, and even blinks her eyes.
“…… Uh yes? Disciple, what now?”
Soon, she strangely recalled her cheek and heard her trembling voice out of her mouth.
How on earth did he interpret White’s words?
Her face slowly began to turn a strange red.
