The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero

V1 Chapter 27 Sleeping Afternoon

The eastern courtyard at lunch time was a popular gathering place for the students of the Adventurer School of Edius.

It was a green grass carpet, and was decorated with many trees.

They will eat lunch or take a nap in the shade of the trees. Compared to the western courtyard where there was often a commotion about the duel, it was truly a quiet and peaceful space.

Even for Quelia Lewistale, who held a sweetly bundled bento, and her friends, it was no exception.

For some reason, it was noisier than usual ...... That was his first impression.

As he tried to survey the courtyard, people gathered in one place, and he could tell that they were muttering.

“Maybe ..... What is it, duel?”

At the friend who was looking at her with a worried expression, Quelia showed a slightly doubtful expression, but she shook her head to the side and denied it.

“It does not have such an impression ...”.

There was no aspect of the wild enthusiasm characteristic of the duel, and the atmosphere itself was calm.

Despite all that, it is a fact that an abnormal atmosphere is drifting for some reason.

That's right, for example.

It was similar to the gaze that the friend next to Quelia always sent to Quelia.

It was a gaze because she was the daughter of the Grand Altlis Shrine's Chief Priest.

It was an atmosphere where the feeling of something like having a vague admiration, and something like finding it hard to approach, yet wanting to be friendly even though all of it was mixed into one.

Quelia became sensitive to an air of self-interest. And then, at this moment, he could feel something similar to that.

“Could it be, new student?”

Quelia recalled that a lecturer said the rumors that the new students of the year were amazing.

The troubled son of the House of Dukes of Albania, and the Spear Princess of the House of Dukes of Necros, and further, the sagacity of the price of the House of Stagius Baron, were really various large members gathered.

Thinking that it was time for the school admission ceremony to end, Quelia guessed that one of the rumored people was there.

Gaining a bit of interest, Quelia approached the crowd.

Leading her friends .... people who were called Humans as her followers, when the gathered people noticed that Quelia was approaching, together with the commotion, they expressed a smile that could be seen as a slave, they said, and open the way.

While lamenting that aspect, Quelia turned her gaze to the heart of the disturbance.

That, under one tree.

There, what fell asleep as if rolled into a ball, was a single young girl.

He had light green hair, very short, servant clothes that had a deep green like deep forest as a basic tone, and then, an armor that covered his chest.

Without a doubt, it was a feature of the Knight Helper that he had heard in the story.

“In hindsight, if I remember correctly, there was a rumor about the Knight Maid among the new students. Could it be, this girl? “

A young girl among the followers muttered that, and Quelia thought about it.

Called the best servants, it was said that although the Knight Aides were desired by many powerful or influential people, they were not affected by such power or authority themselves.

It is said that those chosen by the women who chose their own masters usually had some kind of talent.

Being chosen by the Knight Maid was just like the legend story of how former Hero Ryuuya and other great people were chosen by the Knight Maid was such a great honor, and the nobles and knights with a lot of pride were in dire need of information about the Knight Maid.

For this reason, he was startled by the young lady of the Knight Maid who was before his eyes.

“Mu .....muu .....”.

The young lady of the Knight Maid fell asleep looking very comfortable.

An appearance that looked like he was filled with openings at first glance. However, Quelia was soon able to understand that that was actually not the case.

Three-step distance──she has confidence that if she approaches that distance, then the girl will jump to her feet.

No, he was not sure if he would sleep or not.

Her green eyes are open.

Seeing that, Quelia was a little surprised.

They are beautiful green. Reminiscent of the beauty of the Great Jiol Forest, with a jewel-like brilliance.

Those eyes opened, and looked at Quelia.

“H, hello. Have you woken up? “

Waving her hands, Quelia said that and smiled.

“......”

However, perhaps because she had just woken up, the young lady did not reply.

After slowly lifting his body, he did a small stretch.

Her appearance muttered [had a munya] and looked sleepy reminiscent of a cat relaxing.

“U, um?”

Quelia called him once more.

He would definitely reply if he called out to her.

When Quelia felt confused from a situation that was very different from her usual one, Zweita scanned the area with an expression that looked displeased.

Noting that all the gazes of those around her were turning towards her, Zweita deepened her displeasure, and that was when she saw Quelia who called out to her.

“What?”

“N, no, it's not like I have special business with you.”

Quelia was surprised by the answer she had never received until now.

To him, his act of summoning someone was an action that would please the other party.

That, was due to Quelia's position, but there shouldn't be anyone who would point that out, and everyone called by Quelia was happy to have a relationship with her.

Therefore, Quelia called him even without any business with him. However, looking at Zweita, he was not happy or anything.

"……Was it. See you.”

After saying that, Zweita got up, and stared intently around. With just that, the crowd ran away like spiders spreading out.

The humans who wanted to study the face of the Knight Maid who caused displeasure, were not here.

Like that, Zweita stood up.

Thinking that he was going back to Shion's side, he saw a small rumble in his stomach.

After a good sleep, he felt hungry.

While nodding at a reasonable desire for herself, Zweita tried to head to where Shion was when—

A somewhat confused sounding voice was made.

“U, um.....!”

“What?”

As if to ask if she still had some kind of business with him, Zweita turned towards Quelia.

While her long, cherry blossom-colored hair swayed, Quelia reached out and showed the bundle she was carrying.

“If you don't mind, do you want to have lunch with us?”

“Zweita, don't have anything, you know?”

While implicitly demanding his own share for lunch, Zweita stared at Quelia.
