The Cute Master Was Actually the Black Demon King

6 – Golden Magic Tower

“… ….”

Jeobuck, Jeobuck-

A city somewhere far away to the east from the Empire, the Duchy of Qliphort.

A boy was walking out at a steady pace, wearing a black robe.

‘…… How many golden towers are left, the realm of the golden demon king?’

Boy, White let out a sigh and continued her steps.

It has been four days since he sneaked out of the mansion without notifying his father, the Duke of Qliphoth, and moved to the eastern part of the empire.

As such, the distance to the golden mage tower is already short.

…… As the goal was to kill the golden demon king, there would be no reason to sigh.

“Haa… ….”

Nonetheless, White let out a deep sigh.

Is it because he is trembling with fear?

Are you sighing in fear because you are afraid of the battle with the golden devil?

Or was it because the journey to the golden mage tower was such a tough trip?

“… ….”

It was neither.

The golden demon king was definitely one of the tyrannical demon kings, but he was one of the lowest ranks among the 12 demon kings in terms of his power alone.

If you only watch out for his power, the Golden Magic Tower, there shouldn’t be much difficulty in killing him.

That’s why it wasn’t that I was trembling with fear.

Then the second one?

Well, obviously the journey to the eastern part of the Empire was not that difficult.

For White, who had survived until just before the end of the world, such a rugged journey could not even be described as ‘difficult’.

“… ….”

…… Then why did he keep sighing?

It must mean something is wrong.

And that problem.

It was none other than the fault of the existence standing by White right now.

“Master… ….”

“Why are you calling me, disciple?”

In response to Ashera’s calm response, White tapped her forehead.

…… Why did she accompany him on the way to kill the golden demon king?

That’s true, even White wouldn’t have wanted it.

-I will go with you too, disciple.

“… ….”

To White, who was preparing to leave the family mansion at dawn and pass through the forest to escape the dukedom.

The girl, Ashera, spoke with a mysterious smile on her lips.

…… That’s right, to White, who had hidden himself with countless magics including stealth magic.

Truly calmly and weakly, he sees through his true identity.

“Ha… ….”

White let out a deep sigh as he narrowed his brows.

…… The first time her words caught her, she was so startled that she nearly fell behind her.

No matter how much she is, as long as she is accompanied by her own magic skills that have already far surpassed her own at this time.

She thought she wouldn’t even notice.

…… That was nothing to be called arrogant.

It was White who was taught directly by Ashera, who was once the strongest wizard and the strongest demon king.

And he even reached a level where he could once stand at the top of an entire continent in a world of possibilities that has now disappeared.

That should have been called confidence rather than arrogance.

But, even so.

– Taking advantage of this dusky dawn, where is my disciple headed?

She opened her mouth to that very calmly.

-…… Are you heading to the golden mage tower?

“… ….”

Because he saw right through White’s heart.

Shall I say that White overly underestimated her own mentor?

Yes, it will.

He was a wizard who had reached the level of confidence enough, but he had not yet regained all of his original mana.

At the same time, he had not yet achieved full growth, and there was also the penalty of being a boy’s body.

Even though his confidence was reasonable, I would have to say that Ashera was one step ahead.

“…… That, Master.”

“Yes, disciple.”

“… ….”

Seeing Ashera answering with a pure expression, White had to feel her breath suffocate for a moment.

A real dilemma.

She can’t run away from her, and she can’t accompany her.

…… However, however.

If I had to choose just one path.

Shouldn’t we choose the path with the highest possibility?

That’s why, White.

“Haa… ….”

She decided to accompany Ashera on her journey to the golden tower.

…… A journey to take the demon king and defeat another demon king?

Isn’t it really unfortunate and absurd at the same time?

‘Ha ha ha… ….’

Letting out a devastated laugh inside, White made an expression as if his soul had gone out of his mind.

…… I don’t know what events await me in the future.

If there’s anything I’m more worried about than having to deal with all the wizards in the Golden Tower, including the Golden Demon King.

That would be none other than dealing with his own master.

…… In the first place, he did not yet know for what purpose she had offered her to accompany him.

No, if I had to say it was because she kept her mouth shut.

-…… Master, so why are you with me—

-Ah. Look over there, brother. Aren’t the flowers really beautiful?

-…… Yes. So, Master. Something to ask-

-It’s a very bright moonlight day. Is it time for the sun to reveal itself?

“… ….”

Recalling the memory of four days ago, White bit her lip with a stunned expression.

…… If she had made up her mind and kept her mouth shut, there was nothing she could do on her own.

As she once said, she herself is not at the level of forcibly opening her mouth.

So, really, out of necessity.

She never guessed her intentions or her purpose.

White was to continue her uneasy company with her.

*****

“We have arrived, disciple.”

“… ….”

A golden mage tower.

In the small town just ahead.

White and Ashera were looking at the golden mage tower with their stealth spells on.

And surprisingly, it was the first time White had ever seen such a golden mage tower.

‘…… It was already broken before returning.’

When was it?

I think it was probably around this time.

When White was still in his late teens, the golden demon king was conducting some kind of research in the golden mage tower, causing a huge runaway of mana.

She was still a child, and at that time she only continued to practice magic within her duchy.

She couldn’t remember well, but it was clear that something big enough to hit the continent had occurred.

…… And if you come back and think about it again.

If only the gold demon had run amok, and the eastern part of the empire had been blown clean in the aftermath.

It certainly wasn’t just such a small incident.

There was definitely a high possibility that there was some huge conspiracy or hidden truth.

“… ….”

Slowly raising his head, White completely captured the towering golden magic tower within its walls.

…… How can I express this feeling?

Should I say that my feelings are new?

To think that returning to 10 years before the end of the world, I would be able to see the magic tower of the continent that was still intact.

“…… hahahaha.”

Somehow, funny.

A shallow laugh leaked out.

“Disciple…… ?”

Ashera, who must have naturally felt doubt, tilted her head and asked a question.

“…… It’s nothing, Master.”

She only responded with a thin smile, and White raised a determined expression over her face.

‘…… The golden demon king.’

…… At the same time, a bit of bloody emotion began to rise above his eyes.

‘Today, the 12 demon kings will lose their part.’

I was going to wave my hand to stop talking nonsense if anyone listens.

If the person who uttered those words was none other than White Qifoth.

The ‘White’ ramen, which lived and returned to the past even with the end of the world in its eyes.

Perhaps it is not something that is impossible to realize.

“… ….”

Ssiik-

At the top of White’s face, a smile filled with a bit of an eerie murder appeared.

‘…… Disciple.’

White didn’t notice that Ashera’s expression, watching him from the side, had become somewhat complicated.

‘What happened?’

Bite your lips so small you can’t hear them.

Ashera flashed a light of clear concern in those two eyes.

The place where that bright golden gaze was heading was, of course, to White.

‘…… What happened, did the disciple make that expression?’

…… What the hell have you been through?

My disciple.

Can you tell me?

Is it a problem that I can’t share with you and share with you?

“… ….”

Ashera’s expression became a little hazy.

…… And even then, White was.

He just glared at the golden mage tower with his eyes burning with a clear intent to kill.
