Episode 522
“So, you’ve been doing research on your own all this time using my mother’s formula that you discovered by chance when you went on a field trip to the Magic Tower?”
“And I wrote down the results on a scroll for fun, but before you knew it, they were mixed in with other scrolls.”
“You just activated that scroll by mistake.”
“That’s right!”
Arte, who was kneeling with her hands up, nodded with an innocent expression upon the children’s words.
“This was probably about 10 years ago! The output of a mass-produced scroll is only that much!”
“…I never imagined that I would turn back time while doing so. And that was a foul committed in a game of tag.”
“Father banned combat training, so let’s just play tag, you crazy bitch…”
“Amazing! I thought the incident that turned the entire inside of the Academy upside down was the highest point! It’s a new record!”
“thank you!”
“…Psilia’s words are not a compliment.”
A girl came out from among the muttering children who were looking at her in bewilderment and started heading towards Arte with a straight face.
“K-Clone?”
“……”
“Hey, this was an accident. This time it really wasn’t intentional? Huh?”
When the girl with twin-tailed hair, half blonde and half silver, stopped right in front of Arte and crossed her arms, Arte, who had a bright expression on her face, quickly made an expression of resentment and spoke.
“As the princess of the Sunrise royal family and the next emperor, I can no longer stand by and watch your atrocities!”
“Oh, ouch. Ouch!”
“Couldn’t you be more like your kind and serious twin brother, Nox?”
However, despite her efforts, her punishment began.
“Oh, it hurts. I’m sick, Clone…”
“I’m hitting you because it hurts! Eek, ei!”
“Uh, uh…”
Even the best princess in the history of the empire, who was said to have inherited only the strengths of the first emperor and Klarna, could not help but become ferocious in front of the greatest villain in the history of the empire.
“But, I think the number of people is a bit lacking…?”
“Huh? Really? Where is Roselyn?”
“What about Nox? What about Merald?”
Meanwhile, leaving Arte’s punishment to Clone, the remaining children started looking around and checking the number of people.
“Roselline said she would be receiving young lady training from Mr. Roswin today. To be honest, I wonder if there is anyone more like a young lady than her, who has completely taken over the imperial society within a year of her debut.”
“Nox must have avoided it using his wits. He inherited his mother’s brains and his father’s brute force.”
“The same goes for Merald. She is a monster that combines the power of a demon lord and a hero…”
“ha?”
Among the children who are deducing the whereabouts of the children who have not been seen, an angry voice suddenly bursts out.
“So, since I got caught up, does that mean I’m less skilled than that guy?”
“Spine, that’s not it.”
“Not Roselyn, Nox, or Merald! They can’t defeat me!! I am the daughter of the strongest Demon King and the next Demon King!! I will rule this world someday…..”
“Are you going to get scolded by your dad again?”
“…Ah, anyway, I’m the strongest!!”
“Ugh.”
As she, the daughter of the 2nd Demon King and the daughter of the 2nd Hero, started making a fuss like she always did, the children began to ignore Spine as if they were used to it.
“How did such a child come from that discreet Mr. Ruby?”
“Well, I honestly don’t believe it was the Demon Lord.”
“Still, it’s romantic. The love between a demon lord and a hero… It’s a bit odd that the result is that violent girl.”
“Well, even though Arte is the younger brother, it’s okay. They’re brothers and sisters, so…”
“Make a lot of noise!!! Everyone attack!!!”
In the midst of all the commotion, a boy with red hair raises his sharp eyes even sharper and opens his mouth.
“Let’s stop childishly arguing and find a solution.”
“Shut up you lizard!!”
“Arte, is there a way to go back?”
Arte, who was stroking the three-story lump with a tearful expression, answered the question he asked while still ignoring Spine, who was screaming loudly.
“Hmm… Should we start researching now?”
“I’m saying that now…”
“Ikela, don’t be angry. Think about it carefully. This might actually be a good thing on my part.”
“what?”
“Because we accomplished research that even the magic tower lord could not achieve, this deserves praise…”
Still unable to come to her senses, she was about to continue her sophistry, but when she saw Ikela’s burning eyes, she trailed off.
This was because his only temperament, which was usually rational and calm, was to belittle his mother, whom he respected.
“No, that doesn’t mean your mother’s skills are any less good.”
“……..”
“Well, as an example, I took out all the safety formulas and only greatly increased the success rate, so strictly speaking, you can say that my formula is a deteriorated version. Yes, that’s right.”
Even if he was the biggest bad boy in the empire, there was something scary about him.
Clone, her nemesis, Ikela with her eyes rolled back, her mother with a cold smile, etc.
In a situation where one of them was already being scolded, there was no way to increase the number of people to be scolded.
“Well, and. This is a great opportunity.”
“What are you talking about again?”
Therefore, Arte hastily changed the topic.
“You can see with your own eyes what our mother and father looked like when they were young, right?”

“It’s not worth listening to! Dismissed!”
Clone, who heard those words, frowned as if wondering what he was talking about, but a small curiosity began to bloom on the other children’s faces.
“Well, now that I think about it… I’m curious…”
“It’s the same with my father and my mother. They don’t talk about the past like servants.”
“…Well, there are a lot of great people exhibitions in the library.”
“I think it’ll be fun?”
“Everyone! Are you crazy? We don’t know what will happen if our true identities are revealed!”
They were children who had been caught up in Arte’s accidents over the past few years and had become addicted to adventure without even realizing it.
“Woman, everyone. What do you think?”
Clone, who was trying to stop them somehow, quickly turned his attention to the children who were standing in a position of common sense.
“Why don’t you give up? Looking at those eyes, I think it’s already a good idea to stop you.”
“Ka, Miss Cassia?”
“I think it would be most reasonable, considering past events, for everyone to work together to prevent anything from happening.”
Cassia opened her mouth while twisting her two-tone silver and black hair.
“…I agree.”
“yes!?”
“If possible, I would like to see with my own eyes the true skills of my mother, a sword saint.”
“Mr. Edea!! What on earth are you talking about!?”
Edea quietly caressed the sword inherited from her mother and then opened her mouth.
“Krrr…”
“I want to go too! Because I’m happy being with everyone!”
“…La, lala. Even you.”
When even Lara, who had been suppressing the rampaging Spine with the magic eye inherited from her mother, agreed, her momentum was inevitably broken.
“But when do we eat?”
“Ugh…”
In that situation, when Psilia, who was holding the Bible, asked that question with a foolish expression on her face, Clone sighed and closed his eyes tightly.
“…Let’s start with camouflage first.”
After she gave permission, the children smiled.
“Now, please come to me one by one. I will use black magic to annihilate your existence… and cover it up.”
“Cassia, you said that wrong, right?”
“I want to go to the academy later!”
“…I, I am the Magic Tower.”
“I am the gray forest!”
“Everyone wake up from their dream, right?”
That’s how the twists and turns of little stars began.
.
“The academy hasn’t changed from the past to the present. Except for the fact that the security was quite lax…”
“It’s because of you that I went up to the boat, Arte…”
The children were excitedly looking for their parents from when they were young, but they soon had no choice but to change their destination.
“It was a bit awkward for me because the dean was not Mr. Isolette.”
“Yes, teacher Cadia and teacher Aria are not there.”
“Professor Glare wasn’t there either?”
“Fools, they are younger than us at this point.”
For some reason, no matter how much tracking magic I tried, I couldn’t find the locations of my parents except Frey.
“Then, shall we go to the mansion next? Maybe we can find out why that scary teacher Aria is always giving us a hard time…”
“You idiot, it’s impossible to sneak into the mansion. What will you say if you get caught?”
“…That too.”
Thanks to that, the children left their regrets behind and began to wander around the former empire.
“Wow, look at that! It’s the Vatican that has collapsed!”
“The rumor that the Vatican collapsed in the past was true.”
“That strange legend that Dad split the Vatican in half?”
“Hey, that’s all a lie. Why did the hero destroy the church?”
“…When do we eat?”
“Psilia, is that what the next saint would say after seeing the church collapse?”
From the church’s headquarters that was left in ruins.
“The rumor about biological experiments being conducted in the basement of the Magic Tower was a lie…”
“There’s no way my mother would do something like that!!!”
“But what about the rumor that a demon is sealed underground…”
“Shh! Look! It’s young Teacher Glare!!”
“Me, crazy. Cute…..”
“Now, wait a minute. Aren’t you looking here?”
“Oh, no way. Even if you are Mr. Glare, there is no way he could see through our disguise at that age…?”
Visiting the Magic Tower where I was lucky enough to witness young Glare.
“No! This is the sacred imperial palace!! As the princess, I cannot forgive trespassing… kek.”
“Get out of the way! There’s something I want to try!!”
“Ah, stop Arte!!”
“When did that crazy bitch steal the sun’s mana again?”
And, to the Imperial Palace, which was one of Arte’s invasion bucket list.
“Eup-eup, eup!!”
“Okay, gotcha…”
“But it’s strange. Of course, it’s the imperial palace of the past without the anti-Arte defense shield… but can ancient magic break through this easily?”
“It’s a bit awkward to say this, but since we only have one or two light mana, if we put our mind to it, we can neutralize most of the ancient magic of the empire.”
“When you say that, it seems like we’re something special…”
“Who is there!!”
“D-I got caught!!”
They went around neutralizing the imperial security system with their natural blood, but they were discovered and chased away by the patrolling imperial guards.
“Heh… heh…”
“What? Where am I again…?
“…Ashen Forest. I used a large-scale teleportation spell.”
“Ooh, you teleported us all?”
After a long chase in the imperial palace, they were able to barely escape using a large-scale teleportation spell that Ikela used with all her might just before they were surrounded and captured by the imperial knights.
“I’m losing strength…”
“Ikela, you look hungry. Let’s go eat together.”
“So… this is the gray forest of the past…?”
Psilia pokes and talks to Ikela, who has lost her strength from performing large-scale magic, while Spine, who is looking around, opens her mouth with a fierce expression.
“I heard that in the past, many strong monsters lived in the Gray Forest.”
“Spine, wait a minute…”
“This is the perfect place for this person who will become the next Demon King!!!”
Then, she suddenly began to run away with a ferocious energy.
“Come out!! I’m going to fight the strongest guy in this forest!!!”
“Give up… Even though it’s in the past, it’s the time period after the Frozen Year War. There’s no way there are strong monsters…”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Some children tried to stop her, but Spine had already become a dot in the distance and was running away.
“Is he not angry even after fighting so much?”
“That’s right. A few years ago, I fought against the remnants of the Sun God Church, fought against the demonic beast that was sleeping in the basement of the academy, destroyed the black magic worshipers’ union, and participated in the rebellion of the desert kingdom of the West Continent.”
“…I feel this once again, don’t we get caught up in too many accidents even if they aren’t caused by Arte?”
“It’s not an accident, it’s an adventure!”
“Arte, just shut up and find a way to get back.”
At that time, the children who were looking at her were complaining one by one.
“I understand, I understand… Huh?”
Arte’s eyes, who were diligently writing down formulas in her notebook, suddenly widen.
“Why are you doing that? Have you found a way to go back? I was starting to get worried.”
“No, that’s not it…”
Cassia, who saw that, asked a question with eyes full of expectation.
“I found the signal.”
What came back was Arte’s excited voice.
“We have finally discovered our mothers’ location!”
“…By any chance, what you were working so hard on earlier was finding a location rather than researching a way to get back?”
“huh!”
The children who heard those words began to look at Arte with blank expressions.
– Mutter…
“Psilia! It’s Jiji! Spit that out!”
Meanwhile, Psilia, who was wandering around while clutching her hungry stomach, put a flower in her mouth and began to mutter, and Clone urgently stopped her.
– Coogung…! Kugugu…
“I’m dying!!!”
And, beyond, the roar of the hill collapsing and Spine’s cries were slowly filling up the quiet forest.
“…I’m going to turn.”
It was truly a total mess.
.
“Is it true that you are here?”
“Yes, yes, it’s real!”
A few minutes later, the children arrived at the place Arte had guided them to and hid themselves.
“Spine, what did you do to come here and your whole body is covered in blood?”
“…I fought the big snake monster in the center of the forest. Of course I won.”
“Shh, it’s coming!”
Through the grass where they are hiding, their mothers can be seen returning to the mansion after finishing the groceries.
“Wow…”
“Interesting…”
“For the emperor who does grocery shopping, your mother is truly amazing!”
“Oh, mother… I can’t believe the Demon King took the lead in eating the basket…”
“Shh, I’m going to get caught if I do this!”
The children, who were looking at them with curious eyes, soon held their breath at Cassia’s words and began observing.
“…My mother was like that when she was young too.”
Cassia mutters in a low voice as she looks at Kania, who is wearing the suit she inherited.
“Ikela. Your mother looks exactly like you now, doesn’t she?”
“That’s right, that’s right. You look very fierce.”
“Si, be loud!”
Ikela, who was looking at her mother with great reverence, shouted in a low voice to the giggling children next to her.
“Hey, but… is that person Ruby?”
“That polite Ruby is fighting with Irina by the collar…”
“That’s also a matter for tonight…”
“…Spine is Ruby’s daughter.”
“Mr. Klana, why are you shivering at the end?”
“You wouldn’t know it if you looked at it! Of course, you would be angry at such behavior! You will soon be able to see it! The majesty of the greatest emperor in the empire…”
“Mr. Perloche is smiling over there too.”
So, the observation continued for a while.
– Sigh…
He suddenly stopped walking and was stopped by Isolette, who placed her hand on the sword at her waist.
“Who is there?”
This was because she was aiming for the grass where the children were hiding with her fierce spirit.
