Chapter 8 - Another Demonic Grand Duke

~~~~~~~

Sakura-sensei and Raisa looked surprised when Rei replied that the bento he wanted to eat was an apple.

'Oops! Something's wrong!'

Rei didn't need to eat when he became an angel, so didn't know the name of the human food that was cooked. So immediately answered the name of the fruit that Rei knew. Since entering school, Rei has always brought a bento for lunch, but Rei doesn't even know the name of the food that was cooked in the bento.

"Oh, you mean cooking with apples?"

"Apple dish... the only thing that comes to mind is apple pie."

"Hmm, but apple pie for lunch..."

"Some people eat bread for lunch in class, but I've never seen anyone bring homemade apple pie."

"I've never made apple pie before so no way. Can I have a plain bento with apple dessert?"

"...that's all, please."

Rei seemed to have managed to survive.

Turn back time a little. Miki Kirishima talks to Wiji Igasaki as a group of first-year students walks the path in the forest on their way back to school from the magic practice field.

"Huh? What about Rei-kun?"

"Ah, Rei said he would take a detour because he had something to do."

Miki looked around and noticed it.

"Come to think of it, Raisa-senpai isn't around either."

"Ah... that's true"

Wiji also looked around and made sure that Raisa wasn't there.

"It's strange that Raisa-senpai isn't there.

"Then Rei-kun might come with him."

"So you're saying that the two of them have something to do? But is it okay for a student to suddenly fight a high-level demon? Three months ago, the high-level demons that appeared were six of Japan's top ten and elites from the Defense Forces." Magic. I hear you're strong enough to finally defeat him."

"Hmm, I think Rei-kun will be fine. The fight with Sakura-sensei just now was amazing."

Akiho Hidaka, who was listening to the two, joined the conversation.

"I think so too. If you were Rei-kun, you might easily defeat even high-level demons."

"Hey, Miki-chan and Akiho-chan. Rei is a big deal. Rei is indeed strong, but Rei is about the same as Sakura-sensei. Against high-level demons, even Rei, Sensei, and Raisa-senpai even I won't easily beat him ."

'After all, Wiji-kun doesn't know about his hidden power either. Rei-kun probably has magical powers many times stronger than Sakura-sensei. Well, I think the guy hid it for a reason. I don't speak fluently, but...'

Miki agrees with Wiji not to talk about Rei's hidden power.

"Hey. Wiji-kun's power analysis is pretty good."

"Well, I don't think the sword that Rei is holding is normal."

While walking to school with everyone in class while talking about such things, Miki felt the presence of something and turned her gaze to the forest path ahead.

"something is coming"

"Eh? What? Miki-chan."

Wiji and Akiho also looked in the direction that Miki was looking at. Then, a dimensional gap appeared at the end of the forest path, and a humanoid demon about 2 meters tall appeared from there.

"Oh, is this the human world? There are many humans. I hope there is someone who can satisfy me."

The demon drew the longsword at his waist with his right hand and walked towards Miki and the others.

"Ah, devil!"

"Wow!"

"Caaaaah!"

When Wiji screams, the other students confirm the existence of the devil and are confused. Seeing that, Nakajima drew the sword from his waist and stood in front of the frightened students, facing the demon.

"Everyone! Don't worry. The student council president, Tsukage Nakajima, is here!"

When Nakajima shouted that, the students calmed down a bit.

"Everyone please stand down. Also, contact the school. Ask for the teacher's support!"

"Yes!"

Wiji called the school on his smartphone while taking a step back. The other students backed off. Meanwhile, the demon walked toward the students.

Miki felt a rising demonic power while retreating with everyone.

'Well, no good! That devil… wasn't strong in magic, but had an extraordinary fighting spirit. It's probably a warrior-type high-rank demon.'

The demon's name that appeared was Ose. As Miki sensed, Ose was a demon with powers worthy of being called a high-level demon. Ose, also known as the Grand Duke of Hell, is one of Solomon's seventy-two demons who has the face of a leopard and the body of a muscular human. Ose holds a longsword in his right hand and wears a steel breastplate over his upper body and a white robe over his back.

'Why is there a high-ranking devil in a place like this? Is it something to do with the Devil appearing in the central district?'

'If I'm serious, I might be able to defeat him in one hit, but if I do that, my life of peace will never return.'

'Even if the people here and the teachers at school come to support him, no one can beat him.'

Miki was contemplating what to do with her spinning head.

'Hmm. If I use sleep magic on everyone here, I can fight freely… No, that's dangerous. You never know what will happen on the battlefield.'

While Miki was mulling over the strategy to defeat the enemy in her mind, Nakajima attacked Ose and slashed with the sword he was holding.

"Wow!"

Nakajima's sharp slash struck Ose. However, Ose easily caught the attack with his long sword. Nakajima, who was blocked from the first attack, repeated a series of furious attack waves. However, all of those attacks were blocked by Ose.

"You're great, man. But not just momentum."

"Uooooo!" Nakajima continued to attack continuously.

'There he is!'

Miki came up with a good way to overcome this situation.

'It's fine if you treat those high-level demons as low-level demons and defeat them.'

Miki collected the thoughts that came to mind.

'Fortunately, the demon's magic power is low, so no one realizes that he is a high-ranking demon. We just need to kill it before it releases its amazing move.'

As Miki found a solution, Nakajima was sent flying with one swing of Ose's longsword.

"Student Council President!"

"The Chief has been killed!"

When Nakajima was knocked over and passed out, the students started making a fuss.

"Hmm? That's weird. I thought I cut it in half."

Ose swung his longsword horizontally to cut Nakajima, but Ose felt uneasy that Nakajima was blown away, so Ose examined the longsword to see if there was anything wrong with it. In that gap, Miki concentrated purple magical power in her right palm and created a spherical mass of magical power.

"Go! Demon bullets!"

Miki released a mass of purple magic power from her right palm at high speed. It hit Ose's left leg and exploded.

"Goo! What, what's wrong!?"

The "Magic Bullet" that Miki used was not magic, but a magic technique that gave off explosive magical power, and it was a non-attribute magic technique that didn't have attributes like fire or ice.

"Wiji-kun, there is something I want you to do."

"Hmm, what?"

"From now on, everyone's magic will attack at once, so I need you to come out on the vanguard and somehow create an opening for attack magic."

"Wait, even if the strongest warrior-type leader Nakajima was easily defeated, I can't do it!"
