Isekai Shoukan chapter 46: The devil king castle is flaring up

That girl was showing a lovely reaction, like a lady raising a peculiar high squeal though her face flushed from shame. However, her appearance resembles a devil whose features was told by Tifal closely.

I, who instantaneously understands that fact, hold the waist of Kaede with my right arm and retreated by jumping back but the handcuffs are obstructing my movement and it can't be done.

I racked my brain for about several seconds thinking about my next move because of the plan that I made failed, but before I could think of one, my right arm was pulled suddenly for some reason.

Unintentionally my eyes went towards my right arm and I saw Kaede holding it with a hateful glance.

Was there something on my right arm? There was only one thought in my mind.

――――I had a ring on my ring finger and thinking about it now, I didn't mentioned my relationship with Tifal to Kaede.  

“.........Io-kun, what? This ring. Moreover it is attached to your ring finger......hey, what's this......what is this ring!? Answer Io-kun!! Hey, quick!! Answer quickly!!”

Kaede breaks the water and is quite disagreeable and having a threatening att.i.tude.

Suddenly, greasy sweat dripped from my frame for some reason, but I was overpowered by Kaede whose att.i.tude change completely rushed and spoke immediately. I couldn't feel a fragment of Kaede's friendly atmosphere now. Speaking clearly, she became a different person.

Hey, this isn't the Kaede I know. What happened in the year after we separated?

“Th, This is an item box!! Look, a sword came out!! Isn't this ring wonderful!!”

Nonetheless, I thought that I can't tell my relation with Tifal, so I decided to give an explanation about my ring to calm Kaede down who’ seeks an answer. I explain desperately and summon a sword in my left hand that was empty before.

Kaede was emphasizing the ring awfully, so I boldly tried changing the ring with my words, but perhaps with my behavior it will probably be fine. Kaede who heard my words has the light in her eyes disappeared that were burning just now and she issued words of relief.  

“Item box......that's good. Io-kun wasn't poisoned by a woman. However, why did you put it on your ring finger intentionally? For me this ring, , which is inserted on your ring finger, , , change it to your middle finger!!”

Kaede changes completely and her att.i.tude also softens, while a smile float on her face. I thought I was babbling out something to worry at the last vicinity, but after turning, I thought I can't return.　

After finishing the conversation, I looked to the girl who blushed while thinking nothing in particular. The girl is observing here with an appraising expression which I can see with my eyes.

Even though it was inevitable, a sense of guilt sprang only for a moment because I ignored it. I thought to apologize just in case and started stepping forward a bit. Immediately after that, she throws out a question to us with a trembling voice and angry feeling.

“You......are you humans? Or Silfas, , , , , the pursuers who are sent after me?”

The girl who asked has a dubious face and is attack mode. The name of a person which I didn’t know and understand well was also mentioned, but I heard her asking if we are humans, so I reply first before apologizing.

Comparing to my communication disorder, Kaede and I don't falter to that girl that seems to be younger than us!!

“Emm......shiru......shirufaosu? I don't understand it well, but we are humans......Na!?”

The moment I said that I don't know Silfas, the girl loosens her cheeks and relaxes because of what I said afterward and at the same time, she tightening her face momentarily, she glared at us with half eyes.

For some reason, I got angry about the sharp glance of that girl that was unsuitable to her appearance and I felt that hate and dislike welling up.

I, who sees this girl's att.i.tude inadvertently raised a wild voice. And when I sensed her hostility I took my sword away to the back and lowered the sword held in my left hand to my waist and entered battle mode.

In that way, silence controlled the place and tension built up. At the same time, Kaede muttered "As expected is the ring finger good......no, but the middle finger......Uuh......".

The silence felt endless for a moment. And after a few seconds, the silence broke with the angry voice of that girl.

“Silfas is the same race......die and apologize to father!!!”

The girl dashed towards us with bloodshot by kicking the floor. She was wrapped in magic, so I removed my sword and vomited a deep sigh, before using magic.

“Haa......my mind is closely at its limits from this conversation......therefore let's bring it to an end already. Intonation reduction......《Glacial erosion, Gureishieito》!!『Sit down in the ice cold!!』

My tongue slipped after I finished my chanting!! I was aware, that the girl was dashing towards Kaede who muttered “Wedding ring......wedding dress......first child......combining our names for its name, Kaori......”.

I felt like doing a Tsukkomi unconsciously, however, my ice magic which I did with intonation reduction is scattering destruction. Even if she evaded a little, she wouldn't die but it wasn't better to leave an after effect to the girl that looked like a junior high school student, I rushed and turned my eyes towards Kaede.

A blue magic circle with appears below me after finishing the chanting and clenching my fist. The Ice is spreading in the radius of the magic circle like the time at the black guild, but it was slower and because of the chanting reduction, it spreads more extremely than before. However, the entire room is covered in a few seconds and the girl's hands and feet are frozen at the same time restricting her movements.

“......You must be from those fellows who chase and aim for my neck because I'm the devil king´s child. Quickly cut it off......”

The girl who was caught in ice tries to slip out many times however, because she is daunted, her hands and feet have no strength left at the same time she vomits a deep sigh, an explosive statement was weakly dropped.

“Hmm? ......Devil king......child?”

Tentatively, I have no feelings to catch up with the understanding in my head and I ask confused. I rushed and asked Kaede for help who only looked at me without doing anything.

And I was babbling out the thing thought of for some reason unconsciously.

“Emm......then, is this the devil king castle?”

“Here isn't the devil king castle. Here is the Roguresu suburb. The devil king castle soars and stands at the center of Roguresu."

Laughing at me who asked so while having a suspicious face, her glance moved to the window which is in the vicinity.

I took a glance ahead―――――and it was a sea of fire.

The girl blinks many times and when her expression becomes astonished, she speaks with a really energetic voice and thought "Nothing else matters at all."

"It seems that the Lord did not know the circ.u.mstances why the Devil Castle is a big building that is currently burning up. My father who is the ringleader......no, the devil king who is the only one with hands―――became insane.”
