The Elemental Sword Demon King

Episode 234: Being a Witch Servant

"Could something like this happen every day?"

"Cleaning people like this is also the duty of a servant." Aidenwyth pushed his glasses with his fingertips and smiled, "but your sword style just now, it's a genuine killing technique."

"I know nothing but this style of sword."

"The style you learned from the assassin training organization you mentioned?"

(As expected, I look, yes.)

There is no point in denying it. Following the destruction of «Instructional» School, the empire has sent its knights, including «Numbers», to investigate.

What has been done at the facility, it is unlikely that the military authorities or him who has been connected will not know.

"I'm not really interested in your background."

Perhaps he took his silence as an affirmation as Aidenwyth shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Only, that sword style is uncomfortable in many ways. It wasn't suitable for elementalist sword styles."

"Elementalist sword style?"

Among the elementalist rituals offered to spirits, it was the event with the highest social status. For an orphan from «The Instructional» school is truly a killer expert, it is an irrelevant word.

Aidenwyth's gray eyes looked at Kaizo as if he was judging her and said, "Son, have you ever wished to be strong?"

"strong?"

Kaizo was puzzled by the question that suddenly came up. Wanting to be strong, thinking like that shouldn't have happened until now. But he has been ordered to be strong.

And in reality, if he did not become strong, he would not be able to survive in such a facility as Hell. He pondered about it for a while.

"I don't know." Kaizo shook his head and said, "at least, I don't think I wish that I wanted to be strong, I think."

"I understand." Aidenwyth nodded to himself as if reaching an understanding.

And with eyes as if pitying something about him, he turned to Kaizo and said, "You are strong. Most likely, it would be fine to call you the single strongest killing master in the entire continent. But anyway, it was empty power."

His chest rumbled at Aidenwyth's words. He opened his mouth as if to reply, "It's not that I want to be strong."

"Hmm?" Aidenwyth placed his hand on his chin as if his interest had reached its peak. And as if getting an idea, he smiled broadly, "First of all, it seems necessary to open the boy's eyes."

Since then, it has been a few days. Kaizo works faithfully as a new servant at Aidenwyth's house.

"Kaizo, heat the bath. I don't like heat, so I'm counting on you to keep it soft."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I want you to clean up the garden. Prune the bushes too."

"okay."

"Kaizo, dinner. I want some finely seasoned Neidfrost-style meat."

"I can't make that kind of thing!"

"There's a recipe, right? Everything is experience."

"Whatever happens, I don't know anything."

Of course, Kaizo had never done anything like cooking until now. Even so, he somehow managed to make something resembling meat cooking and Aidenwyth ate without leaving any leftover food as he complained.

The most troubling thing about being in the empire was that one could not use fire satisfactorily. The cause was the rebellion of «Queen of Catastrophe» that occurred a few weeks before «Instructional» school was destroyed.

The enraged spirit king destroyed the imperial territory and wiped out all the flames on their land. Therefore, whenever Kaizo wanted to use fire, he had to go to «Spirit» Forest that was flourishing outside the capital to capture fire attribute spirits.

There were still other things bothering him at the moment.

"Kaizo, wash my body."

"What!?" Shouting in surprise, Kaizo's face flushed red.

"It's joke. Hrm, you're still an innocent kid at that."

"Short!" Kaizo glared at her inhuman master, but her beautiful maid outfit negated the impact.

"Maybe I should make you my partner tonight."

"Fufuu, you're really cute."

It seemed that it had even awakened his sadistic heart.

(This is also for the sake of freeing Alicia.)

While Kaizo said that to herself, her household skills had improved. But her most important job is not housework.

On the sidelines of housework, she must fend off assassins who seem to come every day intending to go after Aidenwyth's life.

"You're really hated by various groups." Kaizo muttered with sarcasm.

"I wasn't as peaceful as I used to be when I was a knight as I am now."

"You're at peace now?"

Kaizo once again remembered the fear.

****

One day Aidenwyth came out of the mansion.

"I will visit the royal palace. Wash and clean the mansion until night."

"You don't hate politics?"

"I can't ignore the direct call from His Majesty the Emperor. And this time the subject isn't unrelated to you."

"What do you mean?"

Aidenwyth shrugged his shoulders and explained in response to Kaizo's question.

It seems that a few days ago, the report of the spirit knights in «The Instructional» school was announced and the details of the inhuman experiments were revealed one by one.

Among the founding members of the facility, there were a number of important nobles so the imperial palace buzzed like a disturbed beehive.

Inside the organization, the battle technician «Instructional» school is well hidden. But from the content of the mission, it is possible to guess the status and situation of the client.

Although at first, the people investigating them were elementalists who specialized in gathering information roughly the same as his former teammate, Lina Flame.

"Well, the founding members were nobles of this kingdom, but they seemed to gradually move to «Demon King Religious» of the Alphen Territory who supported the organization."

Aidenwyth took a breath and continued, "The fanatical wearer of the demon lord, the ones who have been in love with you after knowing your prowess as a Spirit Contractor are also the Religious people of the Demon King, right?"

"I don't know." Kaizo shook his head to the side.

Of course, the elders at «The Instructional» school seem to believe that the male elementalist, Kaizo is the second coming of the demon lord.

"Because I am a tool that embodies their desires."

Aidenwyth looked at such a Kaizo for a while and said, "Geez, it seems like drastic measures are needed."

"Ahh, that's right."

In front of the hall before the foyer, Aidenwyth said as if he remembered something. "Also clean up my study today."

"Study room?"

Usually he would say it was fine even if he did not clean the workspace.

(What a strange event this is.)

"Cleaning the floor is okay. I've told you many times, don't touch things that don't concern you."

Even as he thought of a question, Kaizo nodded obediently, "OK."
