Chapter 6: The Beginning of the Story
The wind is beautiful, the sky is cloudless, and life is so beautiful. Who ruined all this?
That's right, it's her!
"Hey, Amilia, what are you thinking?" Edward tried to grab her hand to stop her, but it was too late.
"What?"
"Why did you hit him?"
Hearing Edward's question, Emilia replied with an inexplicable expression, "He, the enemy." ”
"Tsk...... He's not an enemy! I met him this morning, you idiot! He tried to help you, but you punched him and knocked him out! You, you're ......."
"I see. Emilia suddenly realized, she was stunned, then bowed deeply to the blonde boy who fell to the ground, and then said sincerely, "I'm sorry." ”
People fainted, and it's useless to apologize.
Edward had a headache.
There are more and more people around, and the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller. Originally, the freshmen were still a little apprehensive and hesitant, but Amilia's reckless behavior completely angered them, and also added a righteous and awe-inspiring reason to their next action.
Instead of bullying people, they are avenging their brother who was knocked unconscious by Emilia, and rightfully so.
A vicious battle is inevitable.
"Hey, why don't I come. Edward stood in front of Emilia domineeringly.
Now he is no longer the powerless soft egg, but a powerful demon king who has restored the double demon king seal!
Hmph, he's had enough of it! He can't hold back or something, he doesn't want to anymore! He's more than enough to deal with these freshmen who have just been weaned for a few days.
"No, I can't. Emilia rejected him.
"Trust me, I can knock them all away!"
"Nope. I'm afraid you'll hurt them. ”
"Tsk......"
Edward understood what she meant.
If Edward had made a move, he would have been either dead or wounded. The other party is a human being, and he is the king of the demon race, so it's strange that he will show mercy to his subordinates, how can he be worthy of the title of his demon king if he doesn't take the opportunity to kill and maim a few?
Those freshmen are all little flowers of the Holy Empire, heroes of the future, and treasures of Hogg House. Emilia didn't want the young children to be destroyed by Edward.
Even if they have a worry-free surname and escape Edward's clutches, what if they leave some psychological shadow and grow up to distort their surnames to take revenge on society?
So, Emilia chose to figure it out on her own.
"Demon King...... Oh no, master, let Night take care of those pesky guys for you!"
She took out the white moon, looked at the people around her coldly, and was ready to attack, as long as Edward gave an order, she could take the enemy's surname in the first place.
"Hey, if you go on a killing spree at Hoag House, that old man Kane will kill me!" Edward said worriedly.
"Master, although he is a ninth-order magician, he can't be the enemy of the night, but it is difficult for him to hurt the night. Even if he catches you, the night will take you away. So, you don't need to be afraid of him. ”
"That's not the crux of the matter...... Forget it, leave it to Emilia. ”
Edward gave up the entanglement, spread out his hand and made a "please" gesture to Emilia, holding the mentality of watching the play, pulling the night back a few steps.
Freshman riots?
It's a fantasy. What's even more strange is that Kane, as the headmaster, is hidden in the crowd, and instead of stopping it, he has a faint expectation of what will happen next.
Why?
It felt like he had accidentally broken a vase, but the prisoner caught by the vase's owner was not him, but someone else he hated so much.
Judging by his weird smile, it's more of a kind of schadenfreude. Actually, he could have stopped this pointless fight, but he didn't.
As a result, there is only one solution left, war!
There is no other way to win or lose, and there is no reason to speak of, and the anger and unwillingness of the freshmen must be vented with a hearty battle, and there is no other way.
What the hell is going on? Why is there such a ridiculous riot at Hogg House, which has a long history, and why doesn't Kane stop it?
It's a long story.
Let's start at the beginning.
The story goes like this......
===============
Time goes back, and the sun rises.
Today, it's the day of the Hogg House test. The morning sun had just risen, and the blond boy George had not yet arrived at Hoag House, and it was still a morning before the upcoming freshman riot.
And so the story began.
A few days ago, Edward and the others found the second Tear of the Goddess in Emilia's house, and their strength was restored. Then, according to Amilia's plan, they had to find a way to join Hogg House.
Early this morning, Edward, who was still sleeping, was brutally woken up from his sleep by Emilia and forcibly dragged onto the street, saying that he was going to take a test.
Although Edward had long been accustomed to her rough attitude and was accustomed to it, the night could not bear it.
You know, when he was in the Demon King's Castle in the past, every time Edward slept and couldn't come out for breakfast, he would wait quietly outside the door at night, allowing the ice cream she made to melt little by little with the passage of time, and he didn't want to rush in to disturb Edward's dream.
She couldn't accept that she was so presumptuous!
"Lord Demon King, the night will kill the brave! she dares to act so recklessly, trampling on your dignity, and the night will make her pay!"
The streets are empty in the early morning, and it couldn't be better as a battlefield for two women.
"Kill me? Emilia brushed her black bangs and squeezed a sneer out of her nose in disdain.
The dagger of the night, Emilia's sneer. These two things were the signal that the war between them had begun, and Edward knew that they were about to start again.
One is his maid and the other is his partner, and it's a war with no winners, and Edward doesn't want either of them to get hurt.
Therefore, the injured person can only be himself......
"Alright, you all don't argue, be quiet!" Edward rushed between the two of them and pushed them left and right.
"Lord Demon King!"
"Humph!"
Poof, poof.
Two small fists suddenly flew over, one after the other, hitting Edward's lower abdomen and waist and eyes respectively, and his tears were in pain, and he couldn't scream.
"Well...... Edward said, I'm a man, good men don't fight women, "ahem...... Amilia, why don't you hurry to Hogg House!
You can't outwit the enemy, you can only outwit it. Edward decided to use the Split Tactic to separate the two of them from each other and break them down one by one. The first step is to break Emilia apart!
“......”
Hearing Edward's urging, Emilia didn't say a word, didn't even answer, and turned away with a dashing shake of her head, leaving them with only a handsome back.
"Demon King......
"Night, don't do that. Seeing Emilia go away, Edward sighed helplessly, "Brave woman, she usually seals herself in airtight armor, she has not had much contact with other people, and she doesn't even have any friends, and the only person she can communicate with is the idiots of the Wings of Judgment." Actually, she has no ill will towards you. ”
After saying these words, even Edward himself sighed.
That stubborn brave man may have never been to a magic academy. Joining Hogg House is not so much a strategy against her enemies as a means of making up for her childhood.
Enemies, demons, holy swords, kill, kill, these cold words have accompanied her for countless years, and her world is undoubtedly gray, and the gray of despair and the dark red of blood make up the whole of her world.
Edward had no way of knowing, but he knew how much power he had to pay.
A powerful brave man has the power to dominate the heavens and the earth, so what a terrible price did she pay?
"Oh, yes, Lord Demon, you seem to know the Brave Warrior very well. ”
"Sort of...... Although we haven't been together for long, I always feel as if I've known her for a long time, like an old friend. She's not as strong as she looks, she's a pretty cute little girl, hehe......"
Edward said to himself, completely oblivious to the night's resentful expression.
"Oh, really?" Night quietly aimed the dagger at Edward's neck.
"yes...... Hey, hey, why are you suddenly pointing the dagger at me? You, what are you going to do? Put the dagger away...... Oh, don't, don't, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, my good maid, you, don't cut me!"
"Oh. ”
Ye faintly agreed, but his hand did not slow down. She waved the white moon at Edward indiscriminately, the sharp blade cutting through Edward's skin, and shallow blood marks gradually appeared.
Although Edward's resilience is amazing, and a wound of this magnitude can heal in minutes, it ......
It hurts!
And most crucially, the guy in the night knows it too. Her seemingly random movements concealed a mystery, and each attack only cut through Edward's flesh and skin, which did not hurt his muscles and bones, but also made him feel painful.
This woman is really vicious!
"Ah......h
"Lord Demon King, Ye understands, it turns out that you like the brave! You must want to drive the night away and marry the brave!"
"So, what kind of strange logic is that? knot, marriage?" Edward explained loudly as he fled in a panic to avoid being chased by the night.
"Lord Demon King, you have betrayed the Demon Clan, just because you covet the beauty of the brave! I want to kill you at night and avenge the dead Demon Clan!"
"Hey, do you have the qualifications to say this? You yourself are obviously a human being, and you still say that you want to avenge your fellow demons, it's very strange!"
"Hmm...... Either the brave will die, or the night will die, or you will die! Lord Demon, choose one!"
"Why do you have to die? You're absolutely insane! Help, help, there's a psychotic here!Who's going to save me!" Edward frantically fled down the alley.
Night didn't really want to kill Edward. If she really wanted to do it, she could easily cut Edward's neck by teleporting to Edward's side with the Moon Shadow Step.
So, such a farce was staged in the streets in the early morning. One of them ran in front and the other chased behind, and they had a lot of fun.
Edward ran forward, he ran for a long, long, long time. Then, suddenly, he stopped.
Look around-
"Ah, where is this?"
"Sorry...... Lord Demon King, I don't know at night. ”
Edward discovers that the two of them are lost.
