The Elemental Sword Demon King

Episode 200: Weird Questions

"So, first question. Kaizo, you..." Eve's brown eyes glinted sharply, "A-do you like soft, smooth cotton candy?"

"Huh?" Kaizo could only exclaim, completely stunned.

"W-what the fuck, what kind of question is that?"

Nevertheless, Eve remained very serious as usual, "I-this is important, please answer."

Completely lost, Kaizo had no choice but to reply, "Oh that, I like it a little, but I don't like it very much either."

Kaizo has no particular preference in food, but talking about cotton candy, it more feels like food to women.

"I-I understand."

Somehow Eve heaved a sigh of relief and recorded something in her notebook.

"What did you write?"

"Well, the next question," ignoring Kaizo's question, Eve looked up from her notebook, "what-while taking a bath, which body part did you start washing first?"

"Why are you asking a question like this!?"

"It's important! Or are you implying there's something you're hiding?" Eve looked straight at Kaizo.

(No no, I have absolutely no idea what she suspects.)

"It's not that way. All right, I usually start with the arm."

"arms, yes. I get it." Eve nodded as if she found something then made a note in her book.

(W-what's going on here!?)

Similar questions were asked one after another in this way. And then at the end.

"Well, here's the last question."

"Finally the last one, yeah." Kaizo sighed in exhaustion.

"Emm, you..." With an embarrassed expression, Eve stared at Kaizo's face. In a barely audible voice, he said, "do you like girls with big chests?"

"Eh?"

(A-a question like that shouldn't be asked!)

"Instead, do you hate girls with big chests?"

"Why do you have to ask that?"

"Don't make me spell it, brengs*k!" Eve bit hard on her cherry-colored lips. Supporting himself with both hands on the ground, he slowly brought his face closer.

"E-Eve!?"

"Then answer me."

Kaizo could catch a glimpse of his cleavage on the front of his uniform. Her slender neck showed faint signs of sweat. Smelling a unique feminine fragrance begins to make Kaizo's consciousness blurry.

At this moment, there was something that made him disperse his focus. Suddenly, a small spark appeared from the campfire.

"It's hot, it's burning!"

"Hey, are you trying to take advantage of this situation? Do you want to be turned into charcoal!?"

From somewhere a familiar voice sounded, it was Victoria's voice. Kaizo looked around, but could find no sign of Victoria.

(Nothing?)

"Really, you're the one who claims to be able to test it secretly. That's why I entrusted that task to you."

The source of Victoria's voice is the salamander at the campfire.

"Victoria, w-were you really watching all this time from earlier!?" Eve shouted with a reddened face.

"What the hell is going on?" Kaizo asked Salamander at the bonfire.

"This salamander is my familiar. Right now I have synchronized my senses with her, to keep an eye out to see if the two of you are doing anything indecent."

"It's like someone would do something like that!"

"Hmmm, who knows?" The salamander coldly glared at the two.

"You, servant of the king of the sons of men, knight and swordsman!"

In a small space within the forest, a violent storm raged. From her adorable lips, words to release the spirit were spoken.

*ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ ᛋ ᛏᛒ ᛖᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱᚲ ᚹ ᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ *

"With the old blood contract, be the sword that protects me, come forward and do my bidding!"

As her beautiful black hair fluttered in the wind, the spirit seal engraved on her chest shone with a dazzling brilliance.

The next instant, accompanied by a flash of pure light, an armored knight was summoned out of the empty space. The heavy silver armor shone and glittered under the moonlight that flowed from between the branches.

This is «Deus El Machina», a high-level knight spirit who served the Eldant imperial family for generations. Tiana stroked the cold armor with her hands as she looked up with an impatient expression at the knight in front of her.

"Please, «Deus El Machina». Be my strength!"

Closing both her eyes, Tiana once again uttered a spirit language spell.

*ᚠ ᚢ ᚱ ᚲ ᚷ ᚠᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ ᚹᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛗ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛁᚠ ᚨ ᚲ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ ᛋ ᛏᛒ ᛖᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱᚲ ᚹ ᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ*

"You will be my sword, you will be my shield, with infinite looming light, purifying and expelling those who belong to darkness."

A powerful light was emitted from the entire knight spirit as a powerful typhoon swept around. A formidable spirit power was unleashed and raised to a level on the verge of explosion.

"Ohhh!"

Tiana actually hid one more fact from Kaizo. His training here is not just swordsmanship. He also secretly tried to use elemental or elemental aero weapons.

"Ahhhh! Ohhh!" Due to the searing pain, Tiana yelled hoarsely from inside her throat.

Unable to control the exploding spirit power, he was currently suffering from the backlash from the reverse flow of holy power.

"Please, please listen to me!"

Being able to use «Elemental Aero» freely is a prerequisite for Spirit Contractors to demonstrate their true capabilities. Nevertheless, elementalists who were able to release their contracted spirits because elemental weapons were only a few in number.

Although Victoria and the others seemed to do so easily, it was actually a skill that required years of high-level training other than innate talent.

Of course, as a former candidate of «Ratu», Tiana's talent is outstanding. However, even for him, this was not something that could be achieved overnight.

"Even though I realize this is pretty sloppy, still, I..."

"I want to fight with Kaizo!"

As if responding to Tiana's call, the knight's spirit body turned into particles of light and disappeared into the air.

(Very good, a little further!)

In his mind he imagined a sword that could cut through all creation. Sword he witnessed «The Strongest Sword Style Holder», Rei Assar, use three years ago.

Grasped in his hands, his imagination materialized and gathered. However, just before it was finished something happened.

"Yahhhh!"

A condensed light exploded and an invisible force made Tiana fly. His body fell hard to the ground. Due to the failed release of the elemental aero as well as the impact of the backflow of divine power.

"Ooh! Wh-why?!" Her shoulders trembled slightly, Tiana gripped the ground on the ground. In the end, even with the help of the magic circle, he did not manage to realize the elemental aero.

"Why didn't it work!?"

(I want to be stronger. Obviously, I don't want to stay as a princess to be protected.)

"I still haven't given up, let's do this one more time." Biting hard on her lips, Tiana supported herself with one knee on the ground and stood up.
