I Became the Demon Grand Duke in the Academy

chapter 18



18 – Akabella – 18

Priscilla and Heinbern.

Divinely dazzling platinum hair and eyes reminiscent of the Mediterranean Sea. The waxy white skin and the slightly exposed dimples when smiling were divine.

Given her background, it seems natural.

Among the nations that exist on the continent, she is the eldest daughter of the Holy Heinbern Empire, one of the most powerful and has the first right of succession to the throne.

But I never imagined that such a person would like insects like cockroaches.

“Today has been quite rude.”

“no! It was nice to get to know Priscilla too!”

The two got up from their seats, chatting with each other amicably.

Scenery of two beauties laughing and having a conversation. It wasn’t a bad sight to see.

“Rosé, Mr. Gregory. Can I come over often?”

The princess smiled and asked. Her eyes were still fixed on me for some reason.

Even this is scary enough.

“sure! We are friends!”

Rosé smiled brightly while holding the princess’s hand. Seeing Rosé like that, the princess made a surprised expression for a moment.

“… … friend. thank you. Rosé!”

“yes! Enter carefully! It’s next door… … .”

After the princess left, and the room became quiet as if the noise just now had been a lie, Rose lay down on the sofa and exhaled.

“Whoah~ Friends, I never thought I would make friends at the academy.”

“Good thing. Isn’t the age difference between the two of you too small?”

“yes! I’m about 2 years older, but I’m a half elf! Friends are enough.”

Apparently, elves don’t pay much attention to age when meeting other races. After saying that, Rose put the pipe in her mouth.

“… … Have you been patient all this time?”

“Yes, anyway, it’s our first meeting, but smoking in front of you is a bit embarrassing.”

Puffy.

The sweet and fragrant scent pervades the room.

I thought that something should make me think for myself now.

“Then I will use the Prism Stone and Elixir and come back.”

“Oh, that’s right. here? Or did you enter the mental space?”

“I think the image space would be comfortable. The appearance of consuming the prism stone is quite… … It’s a little too hard to show others.”

“ah… … I haven’t seen it until now. Gregory-sama seems to be on the side of intake, not absorption.”

“okay.”

Absorption literally means to be absorbed even if you hold it, and ingestion means to eat by mouth.

In my case, I had to chew with wheel foam, so the intake was right.

“Finish eating today and rest in your dorm room.”

“Really? Really?”

Is this the first time I’ve heard of sleeping in a dormitory? Rosé, who had been lying down smoking, stood up.

“Yeah, you’ll be sleeping in my room anyway, so is it something to be so happy about?”

“… … lol. It’s an opportunity to talk about various things with Gregory-sama.”

“Certainly, we don’t remember much of talking for a long time.”

There was a bond system in the game, so there was a possibility that it would be applied here as well.

“good night. Let’s talk until late tonight. Tomorrow is also a day off.”

“yes!”

Hearing Rose’s answer, he returns to the world of images.

No matter how many times I visited the image world, it was always clean without a single speck of dust.

rumble.

He piled up prism stones and elixirs on the floor and transformed into wheel form.

“If you eat all of this, um… … 50% will be full.”

Thanks to Priscilla, I thought I could get to 3 stars quickly.

I chewed and ate the prism stone.

I didn’t know the taste because I ate it in a hurry in the demon realm, but now I can feel the sweet taste.

It tasted like fruit candy.

However, there was a big difference in hardness, so if I ate this in human form, it felt like all my teeth would be blown away.

hard. hard.

I silently looked forward to the evening on TV and chewed on the prism stone while looking at the excited Rosé.

“As expected, it exceeded my expectations.”

Returning to her room, Priscilla let out a heavy breath as she closed the dorm door.

The image of Gregory in wheel form still lingered in his mind.

“Have you been? Princess.”

In Priscilla’s room, there were originally 13 servants, including the chief chamberlain.

However, after the dormitory collapsed, the room was moved, and only the chief chamberlain was forced to share the same room as the princess.

“Yes, it was a very useful time.”

Before going to Rosé’s room, Priscilla had researched the Euglia family and Gregory in advance.

And in the process, the perception of the character Rosé, who was not originally in mind, changed significantly.

Rosé is a direct descendant of former hero Lars and his party member Lily.

Even that family was no different from the royal family of the elves who managed the only world tree in the world.

Not only that, but a family called the Miraculous Cartel, who farms the elixir by using the land around the World Tree that is no different from dragon blood.

It was Priscilla’s idea that being close to Rosé, a member of such a family, would be of great help in maintaining her succession.

“Has nothing been revealed yet about the summoned beast named Gregory Jones?”

“Yes, as soon as I was contacted, I made inquiries to the summoners who contracted with the demons, but none of the demons said they knew anything about Gregory.”

“… … is that so.”

“However, there are a few oddities.”

“… … What’s strange about it?”

At Priscilla’s question, the servant nodded and hesitated to speak.

“That, that… … .”

“I make the decision. Chamberlain.”

“… … yes. Some demons are said to have been greatly frightened when asked whether they knew Gregory Jones.”

“… … were you afraid? Those demons… … ?”

“yes. But in the end, they said they didn’t know until the end and just took it off.”

“… … There must be something to him.”

According to the investigation, Gregory Jones’ title was Archduke. If you are the grand duke of the demon world, you are said to be one of the strongest in the demon world… … . Why doesn’t anyone know him?

Priscilla felt a big doubt.

“Well, that will come out step by step.”

After all, he had been friends with his summoner, Rosé.

“By the way, the Chief Chamberlain has another investigation to order.”

“Tell me.”

Priscilla gracefully took the paper and quill from the table and began to draw.

It took an instant for Gregory’s wheel form to be drawn on the blank paper.

“This… … Are you an insect? The structure is divided into the head, chest and abdomen, and the antennae and appearance are perfect insects.”

“Yes, I would like you to investigate an insect that looks like this.”

“… … Certainly, it’s an insect that even I haven’t seen. Yes, as the princess said, let’s investigate.”

Leaving behind the head of the chamberlain, who bowed her head, Priscilla entered her room.

Bed curtains decorated with small jewels and numerous ornaments, but Priscilla saw glass boxes displayed in a corner of the room rather than such ornaments.

“Mama is here~”

Priscilla opened the drawer with a grin and a snack that only aristocrats could eat. I took out a bunch of jellies and walked towards the glass box.

“Now, today’s meal, huhu, our Hellstones have shiny horns today too. Ah~ Julius’s tongs are nice too~”

They were insects and worms called rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles.

“ah! We need to feed our tulips too!”

Saying that, Priscilla looked at the glass tube next to her. In the middle of this box, which seemed to be nothing but sand, there was a hole made of thread.

“Ahh… … Tulip, you built a house so pretty.”

Priscilla puts the grasshoppers caught by the servants into a box with tulips. After a while, a palm-sized spider jumps out and grabs the grasshopper.

“Whoops… … .”

The princess looked at the scene and smiled. Having fed all the pet insects and bugs, Priscilla jumps into bed.

“Gregory… … . How would it feel to stroke his back?”

I’ve only been able to stroke the front chest so far, but next time I’ll ask you to stroke the wing side as well.

With that promise, Priscilla hugged the pillow tightly.

Saturday.

It was the first day off after coming to this world.

On a day off, you should play games or roll around at home, but… … .

We were in a situation where we had been running for about 5 hours in a wagon from early in the morning.

“Gregory! So where are we going?”

I was like a poor lamb in a situation where I couldn’t rest.

No, poor cockroach is the right word.

anyway.

“You’re looking for someone to help you grow.”

Rosé’s expression stiffened at my casual reply.

“… … yes? Um, didn’t you say we were going to play?!”

“I don’t know what to say to enjoy training. If you enjoy training, that’s playing.”

“Sah, cheater! liar! You know how much I was looking forward to seeing you today!”

With tears welling up, he grabs my arm and shakes it up and down.

Did you expect that much?

“I don’t have a schedule for tomorrow, so let’s play tomorrow. However, it is a story when you endured the day well.”

“Hey… … fraud… … devilish person… … .”

“I am the original devil.”

“Heyyying… … … .”

It was quite fun to see Rosé cry like this.

After teasing Rosé like this, the carriage stopped before I knew it.

“Guests, this is the distance we can go by carriage.”

“You suffered.”

I said that and handed the coachman a silver coin.

One silver coin is worth about 10,000 won.

Since it was an academy that provided dignity maintenance expenses depending on the position, this amount of expenditure did not feel particularly large.

“hehehe, thank you. As you said, can you come over here tomorrow morning?”

“hmm. Please.”

“yes! Then, see you tomorrow.”

That’s how the coachman left and we arrived in front of the mountain where the road was cut off.

“Where is this… ? No way, you were hiding the fact that you were coming to the valley as a surprise——!!!”

“We have to go further into the mountain. There is the person I am looking for.”

“Hey.”

The description in the game said it was about 3 hours on foot, so if I run, I’ll be there in no time.

I wanted to train Rosé to follow me, but I ran out of time.

“Rosé, get on your back.”

“yes?”

“At four steps, it will take about three hours. I’d rather go as fast as possible.”

“all right… … .”

Rosé’s lips protruded. It looked like it was properly swollen.

You’d be pretty surprised to find out who I’m taking you to.

“Then don’t leave.”

Thinking of Rosé sitting behind her, she decided not to transform.

Rosé has been able to keep her eyes on me even after seeing my transformation form through training until now, but it was still during training to have skinship with my transformed body.

Yesterday, I only touched the antenna lightly, but I was frightened.

“Hyst. strength.”

Rose, who was sitting behind me, casts a secondary magic. I really thought that if it was like this, it might arrive soon.

Did you run for about 10 minutes like that?

For a moment, a chilling feeling ran through my body.

“Rosé! shield!”

“yes?”

I quickly pulled Rose in front of me and threw it on the ground.

and at the same time,

A strong wind blew past my back.

A wind reminiscent of a storm.

As the wind subsides, the sound of crackling and something collapsing fills the surroundings.

“Ah, Mr. Gregory… … what the heck is this… … .”

When I look up, I see Rosé’s shocked expression.

Rosé trembled and looked around. I also got up to look around.

And, the scenery was truly shocking.

“… … You’re crazy.”

All the trees around were downed.

It is as if a natural disaster has swept through the situation.

As I was looking at the unrealistic surroundings, I saw a figure approaching from afar.

“He came.”

“yes?”

The guy who is now approaching this way with a sword.

That guy was Rosé’s daily teacher I was looking for.
