Minion Contest (1)

The overture began with bright lights shining outside the box seats.

A song that marks the beginning of the opera.

However, none of the personnel in the room turned their gaze to it.

Operas, which require reservations at least one year in advance, are a cold meal.

As soon as the dean waved his hand once, even the noise was cleared away.

Perhaps it was his hand to prevent the conversation in the room from leaking out.

I have longed for the help of the Demon King more than ever, but… he is barely waking up in his consciousness.

Apparently, he was reluctant to reveal himself because he was conscious of Michael and the dean’s gaze.

The demon, who kept his knees on the floor, looked up at me with a respectful gaze.

‘You look like an acquaintance, let’s say hello for a moment…’

“No need. Didn’t you just listen to what you said earlier. You must already recognize me and you as the same.”

Are you really planning on not going to the end?

You already showed me your face on Christmas Day…

but. Even if Michael doesn’t know but the dean is a demon king, he’s an opponent to be wary of.

I passed out what he was saying from the inside out.

“Shavnak. You dare call me.”

“Forgive the disrespect, Your Majesty. There was no other way to see Your Majesty.”

It must have been difficult for even her to break into the academy where the dean was staying.

In fact, when I did that last time, several demons were hit.

I tried to make a dignified expression as much as possible according to the demon king’s order, but seeing the faces of the summoned animals, it seemed to have failed.

Still, the demons just showed an obedient reaction.

“Did you come after my neck too?”

“I guess. The other scum seems to have misunderstood the situation… but not me. It’s impossible for Your Majesty to be possessed or manipulated by humans. Your Majesty must be arbitrarily cooperating.”

“Then there’s no reason to call me like this.”

The demon, who had fallen on my back at my scolding, pulled out a heavy pouch and presented it in front of me.

An artifact that embraces subspace like a Summoner’s Book.

Perhaps it contains the money earned through the dimensional brokerage.

Slowly returning to her original position, she posts a report that she did not even order.

“All of the lords here are under complete control. The same is true of the borrowed minions currently in operation. At your Majesty’s command, they can run rampage or carry plagues at any time.”

“crazy…”

Exactly what the dean and Michael were concerned about.

Apparently, this woman has the ability to control the mind.

It must be seen that the housekeepers sitting next to her are stiff like dolls.

As if it was hard to hear anymore, Michael sighed and raised his magic power again.

Mind control over humans is one of the taboos designated by the Dimensional Watch.

In any case, there is no compromise.

It is the ability to shake the whole kingdom if done wrong.

However, the dean actually stopped Michael with a cautious expression.

It’s as if the academy’s students are already being held hostage, so it’s not a good idea to touch them blindly.

Once you’ve shown your loyalty to me, you should use it.

The Demon King, who sighed from the inside, gave him a pint glass with an astringent voice.

“Shabnak. Who dared to meddle in my game?”

“I know it’s presumptuous, but I’m afraid you’ll need my help in the future…”

“It’s true. I’m also down. I’ll live and live and take care of all your worries.”

My heart raced like crazy at an unfamiliar role.

It’s nothing like the demons trembling in front of my eyes, but it’s hard to play elements that I don’t have.

If she pushes like this, wouldn’t she have an accident?

The Demon King calmed me, who was trembling with anxiety, and tried to correct the mistakes of his subjects.

“I can’t help what has already been done, but I will not tolerate any more atrocities. Please wait patiently until there is a separate order.”

Unfortunately, there were no orders to close the rental pet business or release the headmasters who had been under mental control.

It was too late to try to pick it up now.

I don’t think all the landlords here will be satisfied with the release of mental control right now.

It is the human psychology to want revenge when something bad has happened.

For now, the status quo is the best.

In the first place, Shabnak must have calculated up to here and committed the work.

At the command of her master, she lowered her head deeply, expressing regret and heartache.

It was a skillful performance that was a little disgusting.

“Well, then, how can I contact you later…”

tuk.

I pulled out a communication card with an annoyed expression on my face and threw it away, and she quickly accepted it.

A bright smile, as if this was the purpose from the beginning.

I am thrilled to see the cards carefully stored in my arms.

“If there is a problem with the borrowed summons…”

“Don’t worry! It’ll never happen.”

“I will do that.”

“Otherwise, what I can help you with is… Ah, are you leaving already?”

At the strong request of the Demon King, I left the place as if running away from her.

The opera had just started, and when they rushed out, the staff at the entrance were very confused.

A lot of people ask me what’s wrong.

“You’re chasing me all the way here. It’s like a disgusting guy.”

He pretended not to hear the demon king and returned to the academy.

After that, he went to the countermeasures meeting in uncomfortable clothes.

Michael seemed to want to ban the borrowed summons at any moment, but the Demon King borrowed my mouth and opposed it without hesitation.

“I don’t think it’s a very good idea. I don’t know what he’ll do if I push him… Best to leave it alone for now.”

“Louis. Did you suddenly change your tone?”

“Oh, sorry…”

I realized a sense of incongruity thanks to the mischievous remarks from Michael, who was about to die.

What he had done to the demon before was stuck in his mouth.

The dean looked at the clock with a very serious expression and ended the meeting roughly.

“Later, let’s figure out the principle of mind control and come up with a countermeasure. Until today. It’s a precious weekend, everyone, go in and rest.”

Is it to be left to the teachers for the rest of the work, or do you want to finish it quickly because the golden weekend is a waste…

We didn’t know what the dean’s true intentions were, but we gladly left.

My heart is too heavy to keep thinking like this.

I walked around the campus at night with my summoned beasts and asked the Demon King.

“Hey… that demon called Shabnak, can I trust you?”

“There is no such thing as a demon you can trust. However, since you have figured out my whereabouts, I will be quiet for the time being.”

For some reason, I feel like I’m getting tired of my hair.

He melted into his bloodstream as if he didn’t want to think any more.

It’s a bit awkward to leave demons with dangerous abilities like mind manipulation, but it’s not something you can do right away.

If I could use my hands, the Demon King would have written it sooner.

The summons, including Medusa, intentionally make a fuss as if they don’t want to be stressed.

“I think I’m going to have to spend a bad Saturday like this… I’ll have to pay Michael a good price later.”

“But I came back to the academy by accident. I was supposed to spend the weekend at the villa…”

“What about it? It’s a hassle to go home now. Elfriede and Elena are still in the dormitory.”

The dormitory room was always crowded, but today even more so with the housemaid.

The maid, who first looked at my room, showed a satisfied expression on the larger space than expected, then frowned when she found Elena and Elfriede inside.

“Ah, Louise. Have you been… Si, did the lady-in-law also come?”

Even if the dormitory is spacious, it is a single room, but with Silvia added to it, it gets crowded.

Elfriede and Elena are hardening themselves in fear of being kicked out of the women’s dormitory.

Fortunately, the waitress didn’t.

“Dragonfly, even so… Can I use the bathroom properly?”

“It’s busy in the morning, so three or four people go in at once.”

Persia quickly answers the handmaiden’s question.

I used to sit quietly in the bedroom while they came and went.

The maid, who had a small laugh, disappeared as soon as the day dawned.

Instead, a bed she had not seen fills her vacancy.

I don’t know how a person who couldn’t even use summoning skills got it.

“Wow, I don’t have to sleep on the sofa anymore…”

While Elfriede, who had been kicked out of the living room last night, was sweeping her chest, Persia and Medusa ran into the bathroom.

Today is Sunday, so it’s relatively spacious, but it looks like this.

I had a late breakfast with everyone and went to work in the club room.

You can study in the dormitory, but it is still cramped.

It’s a holiday today, so Christine and Maria must be at work early.

But as soon as we left the restaurant, a group of people followed us from a distance.

It’s still before the midterm exam for the first semester, so the campus is very crowded, but…

It’s not uncommon for people of this size to all move in one direction.

Let’s take a look at the gender ratio just in case, it’s mostly women. freshman too.

Some of them even talked to me on the first day of school.

“Wow, that’s a bit blatant.”

“Because I couldn’t approach Luis because of Fortress Elena…”

“Isn’t it a bit dangerous to go to a club room like this?”

“Well.”

I shook my head at Persia’s opinion.

It wasn’t even a day or two that we went to the club room.

It’s too late to be careful now.

indeed.

Another unit had already arrived in front of the club room, the destination.

If you add both, there will be more than 10.

When Medusha and Ethel take advantage of their growl and jump into the club room, Christine, who is guarding the gate, is dazzled.

“Louis! Did you bring the troublesome guys again?”

“Ah… I’m sorry.”

“Wait a minute, we came to apply for a job…”

“I can’t take it because it’s the weekend! Go back!”

Christine, who says as if she has received it.

Our naps… No, the Far East Summoning Research Society owns a club room in a perfect location, but it boasts a thicker barrier to entry than that.

In fact, it was like a private organization of Westwall, White, and the heirs of the Welttern family, so everyone noticed it early and did not apply for the job itself.

However, this year’s freshmen have great courage, so they don’t seem to care about that.

Maria, who had a troubled expression on her face from the inside, murmured anxiously.

“It’s a big deal. In principle, it is a principle to accept new students’ application for admission unless there is a good reason…”

“A good reason?”

“Yes. A training period due to a lack of capacity in club clubs or participation in off-campus competitions. If you blindly refuse admission without any reason, you may be subject to disciplinary action by the student council.”

but.

Without that, a club is no different from a social club.

The official organization of the academy must be operated as an official organization.

However, the problem is that these freshmen clearly have an impure purpose.

It is very burdensome for them to be targeted.

Medusha, who smiled as if it was better, said confidently.

“Okay. It’s time to get the debt from Michael. Is it possible to communicate now?”

“I’ll talk.”

Maria took out a communication card from the Summoner’s Book and talked for a while with Michael.

Unfortunately, the expression on her face as she put the card down was not very bright.

“I can’t. I’d like to make it as convenient as possible, but completely rejecting new students’ application for membership is a violation of school rules…”

“Don’t be ridiculous! We participated in the Summoner Cup last year, too.

“Yes. Last year.”

After all, is it difficult to use last year’s competition until this year?

As Medusha and Christine were shivering, Elena said with a cautious expression.

“Did you say that you can turn down your application for a good reason? Something like a training period due to participation in an off-campus competition.”

“Yes? Maybe…”

“Then, we can simply submit an application to participate in the contest and reject the application. We don’t necessarily have to win or compete in the contest. What is the point of just applying and not attending? After the contest is over, apply for another contest Just put in.”

Everyone laughed and drooled at Elena’s words.

If the opponent uses the rules to harass us, we also use the rules to fight against them.

Of course, this is just taking advantage of loopholes in the rules… but Michael will take care of that.

I saved the academy yesterday.

“Wow. His name is a royal family, but such a trick… that’s great.”

“Medusa…”

“But I’m going out under the name of the academy, so can I leave it alone?”

“In the worst case, that’s the case. It’s not that I’m not going to attend from the start. Because I have plenty of time at the beginning of the semester anyway.”

While I supplemented explanations to Persia, Maria tried to negotiate again.

After another conversation, she announced with a noticeably bright expression.

“It’s possible! If you win a suburban competition, you don’t even have to apply for a job this year…”

“Michael and the student council aren’t very tight either! Good.”

“What’s the nearest suburban competition?”

“You can see it on the bulletin board in front of the student council building.”

You don’t have to win a grand competition like the last Summoning Cup.

What Michael asked for was minimal performance.

We left the club room as it was and rushed in front of the old bulletin board.

It’s a place I didn’t usually pay attention to… Now I see a lot of useful information.

“Um. Buying extra school uniforms together? There’s also a cooking contest in the Kingdom! It’s also the capital.”

“What kind of competitions are there so many?”

“It is the entertainment of wealthy and leisurely capital aristocrats.”

Truly the center of the kingdom’s culture.

His eyes, which had been quickly scanning the musical instrument concerts, costume making contests, and art contests, stopped at the biggest and most glamorous post.

Persia, noticing that everyone’s eyes are on the same spot as hers, fumbles to read it.

“A Minion Contest?”

“The most beautiful summons in the kingdom… this, this! Isn’t this what we’ve been looking for!”

Medusha runs wild as if she found a treasure in the middle of the dungeon.

But Christine was a little skeptical.

“This is no joke about prize money and prizes… It’s even a royal contest. It’s probably the most grandiose contest in the neighborhood.”

“It’s really a stage for me! Louise! We are unconditionally determined by this! If I go out anyway, it’s like winning the championship.”

Medusha shows strong confidence and asks for participation.

Ethel, who was sitting next to her, was also somewhat confident.

“If you’re going to do it, wouldn’t it be better to go to a big tournament? It’s just the right field for us.”

“Everyone is very confident.”

Christine’s sarcasm did not even reach the ears of the two summons.

Persia and Letty, who were looking at the bulletin board on my shoulder, showed anxious expressions.

“I, I’m not sure…”

“Beep…”

Guys do it or not. Medusha and Ethel had already confirmed their participation.

Even Laurie, who had been watching through Link, raged with Ethel to take a shift.

“Um… I don’t think there are any other good competitions.”

“This is a competition where you can use summoned animals.”

Christine and Maria remained skeptical, but admitted that this was the best course of action.

I had the bad idea of having Elfriede participate in the summoning contest, but I shook my head, erased it, patted Persia and went back to the club room.
