CH-75.2

 Chapter 75.2

"Is he the reincarnation of the demon king of tyranny?"

"If so then—"

A clear voice echoes in the magic library.

Appearing in view is a boy in a scarlet uniform. He's got blonde hair with red eyes and nice facial features.

"The mazoku are not our enemy."

Laos laughs and shows his agreement.

"Aah, I agree. I somewhat understand opponent-sans ability. He's certainly strong, frighteningly so but I'm not saying I couldn't win in a fight against him though. To them we humans are small fish after all." (Laos)

"Was he fooled by your acting?" (Ledoriano)

Laos nods.

The blonde boy speaks.

"The day of the academy exchange is coming up. From now on well be able to see the surprised faces of the mazoku."

Fumu. Looks like he pretended to be beaten by me so they could hide their strength for the upcoming competitive tests with the academy exchange. Looks like the humans are still good at trickery.

Is this related to what Eleonor said about them not changing even after 2000 years?

Thinking about it, you could think that it looks like the grudge against the mazoku has not diminished but to me, I'm finding it hard to see it as anything other than people being in high spirits about the upcoming academy exchange and the competitive tests.

"After all, we have the holy mother on our side. Don't we Eleonor."

The blonde boy calls out to Eleonor who has returned, however, she remains silent.

"Eleonor?"

"…It's nothing." (Eleonor)

Elenor heads up the stairs alone.

"As usual I don't understand what she's thinking." (Ledoriano)

The blonde boy smiles wryly.

Eleonor comes straight upstairs and walks to the window where I am before staring outside.

No, it's different. Her eyes meet mine.

Fumu. Can she see me?

"..."

Elenor opens her mouth and silently mouths some words.

*Here is no good* she says

Eleonor then smiles and points outside before casting Flight ｢Fres｣ and flying out of the window.

I follow after her.

Eleonor stops in the shade of a tree a little way away from the magic library.

"I remember giving you some advice. I'm sure I said you mustn't enter without permission." (Eleonor)

Looks like she can see me.

I cancel ｢Rainel｣ and appear.

"That's pretty impressive. There's hardly anyone that's ever seen through this." (Arnos)

"Hahaha. I can't see your figure or your magic at all, however, your origin can't be hidden." (Eleonor)

I see. That is true but usually, you can only see someone's origin due to their magic power. Average demon eyes cannot see someone's origin directly. There are exceptions however. The hero Kanon who was good at root magic was able to do so.

"Now you've understood you should leave. Nothing good will come from getting involved with the hero academy." (Eleonor)

"Aren't you a student here at the hero academy?" (Arnos)

"I am and I'm also not lying." (Eleonor)

"Evidence?" (Arnos)

"None." Eleanor says without hesitation.

I unintentionally laugh at her dignified manner.

"Aah. You don't believe me?" (Eleonor)

"No, I just think you're a funny person. I'll withdraw today out of consideration for you." (Arnos)

"Really? In that case, out of consideration for me would you tell me something?" Eleonor asks in a happy tone of voice.

Yare yare. What a shameless fellow. I like it.

"Very well. I'll answer anything." (Arnos)

"Do you have any memories from your past life Arnos-kun?" (Eleonor)

"Yeah." (Arnos)

"Do you know about the hero Kanon?" (Eleonor)

"That's two things." (Arnos)

"Aah." (Eleonor)

Eleanor's face takes on a *Damn it* look.

"I was careless." (Elenor)

She sticks her tongue out in embarrassment.

"I knew Kanon. I made him a promise before I reincarnated and that's why I'm here. I came to see if he's been reborn." (Arnos)

"Eh…?" (Eleonor)

Eleanor's face takes on a strange look. Is she wondering why I told her?

"Then I'll also teach you something as well but its a secret between us two." (Elenor)

Eleonor raises a finger.

"I promise." (Arnos)

Her usual relaxed expression became serious.

"The hero Kanon doesn't exist anymore. At least not the Kanon you're looking for." (Eleonor)

"Fumu. What do you mean?" (Arnos)

"2000 years ago he was killed. Despite his origin, he's no longer a hero. If you look for him you'll probably regret it." (Eleonor)

I heard a voice from the distance.

"Oi! Eleonor! What are you doing over there? Heine is gathering everyone!"

I instantly hide with ｢Rainel｣.

"Sorry. I need to go." Eleonor says and starts heading to the magic library.

"Eleonor." (Arnos)

She turns around when I called her.

"Who killed him?" (Arnos)

With a sad look she says

"…Humans."

Eleonor leaves with those parting words.
