The Path of the Master's Development

With Miss Kraken hugging her waist tightly and staring at her back with two eyes, Rein belatedly understood the truth that "plans can never keep up with changes".

——No matter how much he told Isaac, he still couldn't save Miss Kraken's sudden death.

"Ai, Isaac..." Rein raised his hands high, not daring to touch Miss Siren who only had scales on her body.

He tried his best to turn his head and try to say something to appease the demon youth behind him, but before he could speak, the little sea monster stuck to his body was pulled away by a strong force, and he flew back to the place where he was staying. That pool—probably because of Rein's kindness, Isaac used magic power to buffer Miss Siren, so that she didn't really fall to the bottom.

"What are you doing—"

Sheila wiped her face and emerged from the bottom of the water indignantly, but she fell silent the moment she saw Isaac.

She didn't forget that it was this terrifying demon who made an exaggerated appearance with six wings and saved all of them.

——That is a brutal, bloody and violent demon race!

Isaac stood behind Rein, put his arms around the waist of the blond young man, wiped off the water left by Miss Kraken, put his chin on Rein's shoulder, and said coldly: "Don't touch me, my .”

Miss Kraken was stunned, her hesitant eyes flicked back and forth between Rein and Isaac's faces.

Seeing that Rein's cheeks were slightly red, but he did not refute Isaac's words, but instead smiled at her embarrassedly, Sheila couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart.

This kind of feeling is called "the love just dies when the heart falls in love" and "the people I love don't love me" when it comes to literature and art. To put it bluntly, it is "why all the cabbages are beaten by pigs".

Think about what Lei Wen said about the only one left in the royal family, sister Winina - could it be that the father, queen mother, and brothers are all...

So big tears fell from Sheila's eyes like this.

"Wow wow wow wow!"

The corners of Isaac's eyes twitched—this cry was comparable to Edward's!No wonder the Siren Queen and the Elf Prince are both face-blind and can see each other right, they are the same kind of people!

But he soon lost his mind to speculate on the similarity between the elf royal family and the siren royal family, because Rein shook off his hand, stepped forward a few steps and knelt down to comfort Miss Siren, although his vision was still not very clear. Dare to look directly at the siren's body, he can only fix his eyes on the tail of the fish that is constantly flapping by Sheila.

"Father! Queen! Brother! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!" It's good to die together.

Rein circled around Sheila like an old hen, but couldn't say a word of comfort, so he could only turn his eyes to Isaac for help.

But apparently, expecting Isaac to warm up to a hidden rival with spring-like warmth is almost out of the question.

So Isaac just looked at Sheila coldly, and said sternly: "Why cry, it's not too late to cry when you find the body of the sea king!"

Rhine: "..."

——He asked Isaac to comfort Sheila, not to intimidate Sheila.

Who knew that the crying of the little siren really stopped. She stared at Isaac, sobbed twice, and suddenly said loudly: "You are right...I want to go home immediately!"

Her father is so powerful, so she won't lose to that bastard Demon Race casually!

Rhine: "..."

——Why does this work?

Isaac snorted coldly: "You go home by yourself? Is it made into sashimi when you go home?"

Sheila glared at Isaac bitterly, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Rein's hand, her big milky white eyes blinked pitifully at the talkative blond young man.

"Line... can you help me... I, I..."

Isaac felt that if he had scales now, the scales all over his body would explode!

——This dried fish, he really should try the [-] ways to make sashimi right now!

It's a pity that before he could stop Rein's mouth or directly slice Sheila, Rein had already nodded.

"Okay, we'll go back with you."

The little siren's tail patted happily. Although he was still very worried about his father, queen mother, queen brother and them, seeing Isaac's unhappy expression, a strange sense of victory emerged from the corner of his heart.

"However, you have to help us find the elf envoy first." Rein added.

"No problem, we can look for it now! I can already sense their location very clearly."

After going around half a circle, the elven envoys were finally found in the woods where Rein and Raven fought. As for how they left the Holy City of Light without anyone noticing... no one can say anything. So come here.

Except for the High Priest of Grove who was replaced by Raven at some point and locked up because he was too weak and still in a coma, these elves all have this kind of painting style——

"Well, kidnapped? I don't know? We just fell asleep and saw you when we woke up."

"What? We slept for five days?"

"How could this be?! This is too wasteful, we missed eighteen meals!"

Lucius and Siluta, who were finally liberated from the "Pretend Elf Envoy", glanced at Edward at the same time—they were not surprised at all that these elves were in this style, anyway, elves...

Ha ha.

Then the group of elves seemed to have finally discovered Edward who was trying to hide himself behind Lucius and Siluta.

"Huh? Isn't this Prince Edward?"

"Prince Edward? Is it really Prince Edward?"

"Where have you been, Your Highness? We miss you very much!"

"That's right. After you left, Forest Weekly didn't have any interesting news. Our life is very boring!"

"His Royal Highness, come back quickly!"

Edward: "..."

—Is it too late for him to say that he is not actually an elf prince?

——Is the meaning of his existence to provide gossip to the elves? !

Other onlookers: Silently lit a candle for Edward.

Among the group of elves with strange painting styles, an unharmonious voice suddenly appeared.

Because the tone of that voice was very serious and old-fashioned, but it was crisp and immature like a child.

"Brother." The little prince of the elves came to Edward from the guard circle of the elves, "Look at what you look like now? When are you going to return to the elves?"

Crowd: ...

——Who is the brother? !

Although his younger brother is only half his height, Edward still seems to have no aura in front of his younger brother.

"Uh... wait until I find a way to turn back into an elf?"

The expression on the little prince Kadir's face changed again and again, and finally he couldn't help but glared at Edward fiercely, and said loudly: "Aren't you even an elf in order not to go home?!"

"I didn't, Kadir, I just forgot how to turn back into an elf, and I'll look for it when I'm free—"

Before Edward could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the little prince again.

"It turns out that you hate going home so much that you forgot how to turn back into an elf! Do you hate me and mom that much?!"

"Kadir, listen to me, I, I, I, I really didn't do it on purpose. I will go to the master soon and ask him how to change me back!"

"How fast is soon?"

"Uh, when I'm free..."

"When will you be free?"

"I……"

"What am I? You, what, what, when, when, only, have, and time?!"

Onlookers: ...This is a sense of sight full of dog blood.

Onlookers: Wow!It's been a long time since I saw the family ethics drama of His Royal Highness, ah, they are so happy and miss it!

Edward sweated profusely from his younger brother's forced questioning, and at the same time threw his eyes for help to his companion.

However, among his companions, Lucius wrote furiously, wondering what the hell he was recording.And Rein and Isaac...Edward just turned his eyes away when he was scared away by Isaac's smile——

I always feel that Isaac is in a bad mood today... Hey!Why did the gentle, kind, kind and friendly Rein choose such a terrifying partner!

Edward, who didn't know today's share of "Isaac's patience and suppression of people other than Rein" had been prepaid by the little siren Sheila, instinctively avoided the danger!

In the end, Edward had no choice but to resign his fate and turned his gaze to West Tower.

Since Xiluta changed her style and turned into a black silk fake lolita, she has gone in the direction of a money-worshiping little devil forever. Of course, there is no problem in wanting his help. The only problem is that you have to be rich.

After reaching the agreement of "all the rewards from the Light God Sect this time will be given to Xilu Tower" through gestures, the little black-haired loli bouncing forward to hold Edward's hand, showing a sweet smile to the little elf prince .

"What a winking little prince, can't you see that the truth of Edward's reluctance to go home is because he found true love outside?"

——Hey hey hey hey! ! !

Edward's terrified expression and Kadir's unbelievable expression looked strange...uncoordinated against the excited expressions of the elven envoys behind them.

"I knew it, I knew it..."

"It's not Kadir, listen—" Edward just wanted to explain, but Xiluta stretched out his hand and twisted his waist.

"It's good to know." There was a demon tail swaying behind the pseudo-loli, "When we are going to get married, your brother will naturally go back to the elf forest."

"I knew it! Brother bastard!" Kadir kicked Edward's calf hard, turned his head and ran out, "It was clearly promised that the Emerald Heart was for me!"

Even if Edward couldn't distinguish the contemptuous gazes from everyone, he could still feel his skin tingling!

——You don't even spare your younger brother, you are simply inferior to a beast.

The problem is, Edward didn't even know when he promised his brother this?

Oh, yes, even if he promised, he might not know, because he couldn't tell the difference between his brother and other people's brothers or sisters!

Especially the voices and figures of elf children can't tell the difference between male and female.

—— Prosopagnosia is really a crime.

Disliked by everyone, Edward followed his classmates back to the Holy Maiden's Mansion with grief in his heart, and was told that after the flower festival, they would leave for the siren clan where his "fiancée" belonged.

——Moon God, let's accept him!

※※※

No matter how strongly Isaac objected, Rein was still dressed as a quasi-saint during the Flower Festival and stood on the float in front of everyone.

However, in order to appease Isaac, who had just been promoted to a lover, Rein signed many treaties that lost all principles, made people blush and heartbeat, and that Peter's father would definitely draw his sword to slay demons when he knew it.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Prospective Saintess was transported to the Cathedral of Light by Isaac Airways with her red lips on the second day.

"Isaac?"

When Rein came out of the room wearing the saintess costume, he saw the black-haired young man standing in front of him in a paladin costume, and couldn't help but stare slightly.

Isaac is usually dressed in black mage robes, even if there are changes, the decoration and gorgeousness of the robes are different. Combined with his identity as a demon and the occasional cold and sharp purple eyes, he always gives people the feeling of the great devil of hell.

But at this time, Isaac was wearing a white paladin dress, so that he was wrapped in a sacred temperament, and he couldn't see the feeling of the demons at all. Even those purple eyes, when they saw Rein, couldn't Turned into translucent gentleness, he was like a knight who walked out of a book.

Rein knew that on such occasions, the saint would have an accompanying paladin by her side to prevent any accidents—although most of the time it was used as a decoration.

But he didn't expect it to be Isaac standing behind him in paladin costume.

For a demon... not something to be proud of, especially since Isaac is also the heir of Christophe, the Grand Duke of Hell.

So Rein's original attendant paladin was chief paladin Peter Felix.

Isaac, who was being called, took Rein's hand gracefully, bowed like a gentleman and kissed the back of his sweetheart's hand, and said with a smile: "My Rein, of course I should be the escort."

He stood sideways.

"Line, I've been behind you all the time."

Not because of some quasi-saints and paladins.

Just because Lane is Lane Felix and he is Isaac Christopher.

Just because Laing is Isaac's sweetheart.

And no matter what his sweetheart wants to do, he will stand closest to him, ready to help and support at any time.

The quasi-saint stared at Isaac for a while, then suddenly stepped forward, raised her head and kissed Isaac on the lips.

"Thank you, my lord knight."

——He knew that they would always be together.

The flower festival on this day was very successful.

However, compared to the rare elves who came from afar, the people of the Holy City of Light are more fond of talking about the quasi-sage who is very similar to the current saint but is more gentle, and no matter when, always follows the quasi-sage. The black-haired knight behind him.

——That must be the future husband-in-law of the Prospective Saintess.

The elders of the clergy speak with great experience.

The saint and her knight, who made their debut at the Flower Festival, will be blessed by the God of Light and become a happy couple.

It was the same as the Holy Knight Peter Felix who was following behind Vivienne when she first appeared.

Because of his strength, Peter Felix easily listened to all kinds of rumors: "..."

If you want to know how deeply Papa's heart hurts, just look at the number of mushrooms around the Chief Paladin of the Holy Light Knights.

"Really, that kid has such a heart, you should be happy." Vivienne patted her husband on the shoulder. She didn't need to go on stage in public, and she had the tone of a big sister, "That Christopher, though It seems cold-hearted, but I really have nothing to say to Rein."

As a saint, Vivian certainly knows that even if the relationship between Hell and the Holy Light Sect is not bad, the nobles of the Demon Race have always been proud and arrogant, and they will never pretend to be priests casually—although they will come to Isaac who studies in the human world is very strange, but that is the dragon king Silviatan!

After experiencing the change between seals, at least no one doubts this anymore.

"...I know." The paladin-sama crouched in the corner with his arms folded, said sullenly.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up the position to Isaac when he proposed to become Rein's entourage knight.

but!Knowing is one thing!Accepting reality is another matter!

The fact that his well-behaved and lovely son was raped by a pig was enough to make Peter's father feel gloomy for a long time.

"Hey, Peter!" The current head of the Knights of the Holy Light, who is eager to retire, to live freely, and to be a successor, sees Peter and routinely runs over to ask, "The cute little Rein has grown so big in the blink of an eye, you When are you going to take over my position?"

Peter Felix glanced at the team leader heartbrokenly: "... until my lovely son breaks up with his current boyfriend."

"..."

Even Vivienne Felix, the angel of death, can only shake her head at her husband's occasional childishness.

※※※

After the flower festival was over, the students of the Caizai School successfully got their commissions—although someone's commission fell into someone else's pocket before it reached his hands.

Xiluta happily put 1 gold coins into his private small treasury——Recently, a new style of Lord Isaac doll has appeared in Hell, and he can buy several more, one for collection, Others are made into dolls used to curse others.Of course he couldn't curse his dear Lord Isaac!

But before the gold coins in his hand were warmed up, the problems left over from the last transaction popped up, not only popping up by themselves, but also dragging one behind.

"Where are you going? I'm going with you too!" Kadir looked at Xilu Tower angrily, with the tone of "I'm not here to discuss with you, but to inform you".

——It's a pity that this model doesn't work at all for those who are planning to go to the Sea of ​​Void.

Isaac was standing beside Lane, watching Lane say goodbye to his parents.

George also stood aside as the godfather, and at the same time accepted the teaching speeches of Vivienne "You have to be good to my son" and Peter "Keep an eye on a certain guy and don't let Rein suffer".

In the end, he still didn't go to see Margaret, even though he knew that she was in the alchemy laboratory between the seals.Because he knew that looking for it would only increase the unhappiness of the three of them.

However, during the Flower Festival, George found an opportunity to meet with Roland. No one knew what the father and son had talked about, but when George came out of the interview room, everything inside was quite complete, and there should be no explosion. Too much conflict...

His Royal Highness the Fairy Prince Edward looked slumped, and hadn't recovered from the shock of the previous few days.

And Xiluta was still thinking about how many of Lord Isaac's newest dolls he should defeat.

Only Lucius silently glanced at the big brother-controlled little prince, then turned his gaze to the person behind Kadir, and spoke slowly.

"The chief priest of Grove? It doesn't matter if you don't go back with the elves?"

Elf Grove was about to say, "It's my duty to protect His Highness the Prince," when Lucius choked back on his next words.

"I heard that you are going to take nineteen girls back to the elves. Aren't these girls looking forward to you on the way back?"

Elf Grove felt he had been stabbed, deeply.

"...That's not my promise, please don't tarnish my reputation!"

The elf high priest had veins on his head, and he looked more serious than that fake Grove.

Lucius said "oh", closed the booklet in his hand, took out another one, and said slowly: "I don't think the reputation of the elves will improve in the next 100 years."

"It's all the fault of that impostor!" Kadir clenched his fists angrily, "I want to catch that guy and clear the stigma of the elves!"

—If you say this without glancing at your older brother now and then, it's possible to increase the truth of this sentence to 0.5%.

Lucius glanced at Edward, who finally realized what his brother was saying, and Xiluta, who was full of disgust, silently withdrew his complaint.

——It seems to be quite interesting.

Well, Lucius, who hasn't seen him for a long time, is still a person with (considering him) the spirit of entertainment.

So with Rein who returned to the team, and two more elves and one sea monster than when they came, the team silently advanced outside the Holy City of Light, and collectively teleported to the edge of the Sea of ​​Illusion—there is the same as the Holy City of Light. Teleportation is not allowed in the core area.

But no one expected that as soon as they landed, they would face a group of Kraken soldiers holding weapons.

"Under the order of the king of the sea, capture the traitor fugitive Sheila and her accomplices!"

Crowd: ...

——What's the situation? !
