She looks like a little girl. Inside, she is the strongest Demon King—and a vampire True Ancestor.

That Demon King, Lady Ulrika, seems to have grown bored of the job.
And what caught her interest was… a school for humans!?

“I’m bored of being Demon King and True Ancestor alike!” she declares, and forces a jump into the human world.
Selfish and utterly lacking in common sense, Lady Ulrika throws that world into chaos!!

And so, in a land of swords and magic, the school life (?) of a Demon King who is terribly strong and terribly cute begins.

“I’m bored of being Demon King and True Ancestor alike! I want to go to school!!”

This was the Demon King Castle.
A vast castle standing at the heart of the Demon Realm.
Through those fearsome halls rang a voice far too cute to belong there.

“School! I want to go to school~!!”

The speaker was a girl who looked about ten.
In the audience chamber where demons gathered, she sat on the throne, kicking her legs.
She was the peak of demonkind, and master of this castle.
Lady Ulrika, the Demon King.

Her sudden tantrum left the demons at a loss.
The tuxedoed demon at her side tried to soothe her.
Chancellor Zephard, her aide.

“You mustn’t. Lady Ulrika, you are the king of demons, wielder of the strongest power, and the noble True Ancestor of vampires. You must continue to reign as our great Demon King…”

Lady Ulrika would not hear a word of it.

“No! I don’t want to be Demon King or True Ancestor!!” Continue reading →

—THOOM!!—

This was the Kingdom of Romulus.
An old kingdom, even by human-world standards, ringed in rich nature.
Shock ran through its capital, the royal capital Romulus.

The earth shook.
The air trembled.
Dark clouds boiled.

A disaster like a cataclysm struck the whole capital.
Romulus Castle, where the king lived, took the worst of it. Walls peeled; windows shattered to dust.
The castle’s audience chamber filled with screams.

“What was that tremor?”

“An earthquake? A volcano? Some kind of natural disaster!?”

“Out of the way! Move! We have to evacuate!”

The screamers were noblemen in lavish clothes.
Paunches wobbling, they shoved to be first out the door.
Then a commanding voice rose from the throne.

“Calm yourselves. First we confirm the situation!”

The speaker was King Zenon of Romulus.
A king in his prime, marked by silver hair.
His solid composure pulled the nobles back to their senses.
As the chamber settled, a young soldier burst in.

“Your Majesty! Emergency!”

“What is it?”

“Hah… hah… in front of the castle… a… a…”

“A?”

“A Demon King has appeared in front of the castle!!” Continue reading →

“What is this about school?”

“I don’t understand. Someone explain!”

The nobles were in an uproar.

“School? There’s no way we can let someone this unknown—”

One noble muttered it.
Lady Ulrika caught it at once.

“So it’s no good? That’s a shame… If I can’t go to school, perhaps I’ll destroy this world…”

The nobles’ panic only grew.

“Destroy the world? There’s no way she could!”

“But if it’s the Demon King from the legends, destroying the world would be…”

“The Demon King is a fairy-tale, obviously!”

Tension filled the audience chamber.
Then a huge laugh rang out.

“Ha ha ha! School? The Demon King wants to go to school?”

King Zenon clutched his stomach.
He rose from the throne and walked up to Lady Ulrika, unhurried.

“What? You’re not afraid of me?”

“Afraid? This is interesting. All the more if you’re the real Demon King!”

“Is it! Interesting, is it!!”

“It is! Interesting! Ha ha ha!”

“I see, I see! Ha ha ha!!” Continue reading →

The scene shifts to a terrace on the inner courtyard of Romulus Castle.
Soft sunlight poured in. Lady Ulrika sat at a lavish tea table.
Beside her stood a girl in a maid uniform.

“Nice to meet you! As of today I’ve been assigned as Lady Ulrika’s attendant. My name is Olivia. I’m fourteen this year. I’ll do my very best. Please take care of me!”

Olivia, the new attendant, greeted her at full volume.
A cute girl whose brown eyes and hair suited her well.

“Ulrika Demonica Vanillacross. Zenon’s friend, and also the Demon King. A pleasure!”

“The Demon King… So what His Majesty said was true…”

“Hn? Something the matter?”

“No, it’s nothing. I’ll prepare tea. Please wait a moment.”

Olivia worked quickly.
Soon a steaming teacup and a spread of colorful sweets arrived.

“Ohh! They look delicious!”

“Herb tea and cookies. I hope they’re to your taste…”

“I’ll have some at once!”

Crunch, crunch… crunch, crunch…

“They’re delicious! Olivia… is a bit long. Livi, you’ve got a gift for picking sweets!”

“Thank you! Actually I didn’t pick those cookies. I baked them myself.”

“Hoh! Splendid skill. That’s talent.” Continue reading →

“Listening to you, what a rude creature!”

“An insult to the princess will not be tolerated! Prepare yourself!!”

Swords and staves pointed at Lady Ulrika.
She, however, remained at her own pace.

“You’ve got spirit! You’ve got energy! That’s a good thing!!”

Crunch, crunch… crunch, crunch…

“I can’t believe you’re still eating cookies!”

“Insolent girl. She must want a painful lesson!”

The young ladies only grew louder, watching her chew.
Then the girl who had named herself third princess spoke, quietly.

“Everyone, put your weapons away.”

“But, Princess…”

“Ganging up to hurt a child like this would only look pathetic, wouldn’t it?”

At the third princess’s order, the young ladies reluctantly sheathed their weapons.

“Besides, not knowing who I am means you must have lived in some terribly backwater place. Poor country girl. I’ll forgive you. Fufu.”

“The princess is so kind. Still, I wonder what countryside she came from? Pfft.”

“It’s unkind to laugh. Hee hee…”

They laughed at Lady Ulrika. She kept eating cookies.

Late at night.
The hour even vampires have gone to sleep.
A small light burned in King Zenon’s study in Romulus Castle.

King Zenon sat on a lavish sofa, knocking back drink.
On the sofa across from him sat a slim man, a little older than the king.

“The Demon King’s arrival… I was surprised when I heard.”

The man tipped a glass of ice with a clink.
Rudolf, one of the ministers who held up the Kingdom of Romulus.

“And then enrolling that Demon King in the academy… I truly wonder what Your Majesty is thinking…”

“Sorry. I didn’t consult you.”

“I’m not attacking you. I’m worried.”

Rudolf’s manner was far too blunt for a king.
That tone and bearing were also a measure of how much they trusted each other.

“But a Demon King… is she the real thing?”

“Who knows. There’s no way to confirm it. However…”

King Zenon drained his glass in one go, ice clinking.

“I think she’s real.” Continue reading →

The day after Lady Ulrika transferred to the human world.
Under a clear sky, this was the soldiers’ training ground at Romulus Castle.

“Mm. Fine weather!”

“Yes… it is…”

Lady Ulrika, all smiles, and Olivia, tense.
And then…

“Ha ha ha! Fine weather indeed!!”

“Haa… why me…”

King Zenon, booming with laughter, and Holy Knight Govan, sighing deep.
On the wide training ground, only the four of them stood.

“Um… Your Majesty, may I ask a question?”

“What is it, Olivia? Speak.”

“Why is Your Majesty here?”

“I heard Ulrika would be doing a preliminary drill for the exam, so I came to cheer her on as a friend.”

“Ohh! I’m glad, Zenon. As expected of my friend!!”

“It’s only natural. Ha ha ha!”

Lady Ulrika delighted, King Zenon roaring. A cheerful Demon King and king.

“Um… then why is Sir Govan here?”

“I can’t leave His Majesty alone… I’m the escort…” Continue reading →

They pulled themselves together for the swordsmanship practical.

The exam itself was one-on-one mock combat with wooden swords.
On the training ground, Lady Ulrika was already working as if it were the real thing.

Wooden sword in one hand, she bounced around.
Opposite her, Holy Knight Govan cut in with practiced skill.

“Secret technique: Fang Chain Slash!”

Govan’s blade stabbed in a chain—a secret art faster than the eye.
Lady Ulrika slipped every strike with easy motion.

“Come, aim properly.”

“Damn it! Why won’t it hit!?”

“Because your sword is slow.”

“Slow? That’s absurd!”

Govan raised his speed.

“Secret technique: Gale Twin Blades! And secret technique: Raging Tiger Barrage!!”

Govan attacked without a breath. Lady Ulrika kept dodging, unfazed.

“Hah… hah… kh!”

“Your movements are dulling. There.”

“Wha—guaah!?” Continue reading →

Under a clear sky, a splendid building towered high.
Romulus Academy: largest and oldest in the Kingdom of Romulus.

Today was the entrance exam.
Nearly a hundred young people had gathered on the green lawn of the schoolyard.
The examinees.

“Look at this! Father bought me a sword for the exam. Beautiful ornamentation, isn’t it?”

“I had new armor made! The silver inlay is my particular point!!”

“Do look at my staff! A natural magic stone is set in the tip. It amplifies magical power, you know!”

The examinees clustered in the middle of the yard, showing off their gear.
Lady Ulrika and Olivia, meanwhile, stood off at the edge.

“Hmm, hmm… everyone looks energetic. That’s a good thing… crunch, crunch…”

“Lady Ulrika… it’s before the exam. Please have a little more tension.”

Lady Ulrika was munching cookies anyway.
The other examinees whispered.

“Is she really ten or older? She’s still a child.” Continue reading →

The first exam: written.

In a quiet lecture hall, only the scratch of pens.
Many examinees bent over their desks.

Lady Ulrika was taking it too, except…

“Hmm… I don’t understand any of this…”

Question marks floated over her head.
The questions were things like the history of the Kingdom of Romulus and manners in noble society.
For Lady Ulrika, who had lived in the Demon Realm, it was all unknown.

“Hmm… I don’t know… I don’t know… this is bad…”

“You there, be quiet during the exam!”

“U-uhmm…”

Scolded, Lady Ulrika drooped.
Time only passed, and then—

“That’s enough! Examinees, put down your pens!!”

“What! It’s already over!!”

Facing a still-blank answer sheet, Lady Ulrika’s mind went blank too.

Dark clouds gathered early over Lady Ulrika’s entrance exam. Continue reading →

“Examinees, gather!”

They formed a line at the edge of the schoolyard, before an entrance that led into the forest.
Lady Ulrika and Olivia took the tail of it.

“We will now conduct the last exam: the field exam!”

The gathered examinees all looked tense.

“The content is monster subjugation! Subjugate monsters in the designated area and bring back proof of subjugation!”

Paper was handed out as the explanation went on.

“The exam site is Parateno Forest, the woods you see right behind you. The target monsters are listed on the paper you were given.”

“Hmm, hmm. An exam against monsters. Practical. That’s a good thing.” Continue reading →

Parateno Forest.
Woodland adjacent to Romulus Academy.

On that wide forest as a stage, the last of the entrance exam—the field exam—was underway.

“Haa… they’re making us walk quite a way…”

A group pushed through brush, heading deeper into the woods.
Princess Charlotte and her team.
Walking at the front was one of her entourage, a boy named Beppo.

“Beppo! Are we not at the destination yet?”

“I’m terribly sorry. We’re being extra careful and making preparations deeper in the forest.”

Forced to walk so long, Princess Charlotte’s irritation mounted.
Beppo kept guiding the team, bowing and scraping.

After a while they arrived at a small clearing.
A man was waiting there.

“Young master Beppo. I’ve been waiting.”

“Sorry. We’re a little late.”

“Not at all. We’re always in your debt. Don’t mention it.” Continue reading →

Meanwhile, Lady Ulrika and Olivia.
The two of them walked along through the forest.

“Hmm… not a single monster…”

“That’s strange… there should be quite a few living here.”

“It’s an exam, and it’s dull…”

Since the exam started, Lady Ulrika had not defeated a single monster.

In fact, sensing the Demon King’s presence, the monsters were running for their lives.
As a result, not one appeared before her.

Lady Ulrika, of course, had no way of knowing that.
The two kept walking, peering around.
They pushed deeper into the forest with nothing to show for it.

“We’ve come quite far in, but we still haven’t found any monsters.”

“There’s no end to this. It can’t be helped…”

Lady Ulrika’s patience ran out.
She pointed an index finger at the sky.

“Lady Ulrika, what are you doing?”

“I can’t find them no matter how I search, so I’ll find them by force.”

“By force?”

“Here we go… detection magic!” Continue reading →

“GROOAR!!”

“Kh…!”

The lesser dragon thrashed, swinging its claws.
Princess Charlotte fled, muddy and battered.

“Flame!”

Still running for her life, she raised her staff.

“Flame! Come forth, flame!!”

The tip of the staff flickered.
There was no sign of magic activating.

“Why? Why can’t I use magic!?”

Unable to cast as she wished, she ducked behind a tree.
Looking at the staff, Princess Charlotte lost her words in shock.

“What… is this…?”

A gem black and cloudy, goldwork warped and ugly.
The once-beautiful staff was ruined beyond recognition.
Lady Ulrika’s words crossed Princess Charlotte’s mind.

“Crude goods… it was true…?”

As she stood dazed, a shock ran through her back.

“GROAN!”

“Kyaa!”

The lesser dragon’s charge snapped the tree she had hidden behind.
It lunged at the fallen princess.
Then—

“Lady Charlotte, look out!”

With the voice, a small shadow dove in.

“Natasha! Why!?”

It was Natasha.
She drew her sword in a smooth motion and stood before the lesser dragon.

“I couldn’t run and leave Lady Charlotte behind!” Continue reading →

She had transferred in with spacetime magic, bringing Olivia along.
She was holding the lesser dragon’s huge jaws at bay with one hand, easily.

“Ugh… urp… I feel…”

Olivia was swaying, drunk on her first spacetime magic in her life.
Pale-faced, she had slumped to the ground.

“Hm? There’s an injured person. Livi, tend to them.”

“Injured… ah, this is bad! I’ll treat her at once!!”

Olivia came back to herself and ran to Natasha.
Princess Charlotte looked as if she had no idea what was going on.

“Olivia… why in the world…?”

“Explanations later! Lady Charlotte, are you hurt? If not, I’ll treat Lady Natasha first.”

“Y-yes… I’m fine.”

A lesser dragon.
A savage monster of subjugation rank C.

That savage monster lay on its back, twitching.
Lady Ulrika approached the vacant Princess Charlotte.

“Mm. You seem unharmed.”

Addressed, Princess Charlotte snapped back to herself.

“I am unharmed. More importantly, Natasha!”

“Natasha is fine. See.”

Lady Ulrika pointed behind the princess.

“Phew… treatment’s done… I think she’ll be all right now…”

Olivia was dripping sweat, limp.
She had used up her mana on healing magic and was exhausted.
In exchange, Natasha’s wounds were cleanly treated.

“Hoh! Splendid skill at healing magic. Livi has a talent for it!!”

“No, I’m still far from it.”

“Yes. Thank you for yesterday. And Olivia, thank you for treating me. I’m grateful.”

“No, no, no thanks needed!”

Natasha bowed.
Olivia bowed even deeper than Natasha.

“No, no, no, please let me thank you.”

“No, no, no, no, I’m only a maid.”

Natasha bowed deeper still.
Olivia bowed deeper, and deeper still.

“How long will you keep that up? You’ll sink into the floor.”

“Ah, you’re right…”

“Pardon us…”

“Fufufu. You two are two of a kind. Come, please sit.”

Lady Ulrika perched on a chair.
Olivia stood diagonally behind her.

“Ulrika, Olivia. Please let me thank you again.”

“Mm?”

“Thank you so much for saving us yesterday.”

Princess Charlotte bowed in a clean, proper posture.
At the sudden event, Natasha’s eyes went round.

King Zenon, Princess Charlotte, and Lady Ulrika.

“—I thought I would be killed… but Natasha fought the lesser dragon with everything she had…”

In the quiet study, only Princess Charlotte’s voice could be heard.
She was reporting the events of the field exam to King Zenon.

“But she was no match for the lesser dragon… after that, Ulrika and Olivia saved us.”

Princess Charlotte continued, voice tense.
King Zenon’s expression was severe.

“If Ulrika and Olivia hadn’t come, Natasha and I would have died… it was all because of my foolish actions, so… um…”

Princess Charlotte looked straight at King Zenon.
A serious gaze, full of resolve.

“Natasha, and everyone on the team, only went along with my selfishness. So please, if there is to be severe punishment, let it be me alone—”

He was the highest authority of Romulus Academy: Headmaster Neumann, a mage known as the Sage.

“Headmaster Neumann. Sorry for the unreasonable request.”

“Ho ho ho. Don’t concern yourself, King Zenon. It is no great matter.”

King Zenon and Headmaster Neumann spoke in a familiar air.
Their eyes, however, were not smiling at all.

Then several young men and women arrived.
The young ladies and gentlemen who had been Princess Charlotte’s entourage.

“…Princess Charlotte, what is the meaning of this?”

“What, you ask…”

“Don’t play dumb! Why are you with that country girl? And about the exam… what in the world happened…”

The boy faltered.
Princess Charlotte silently rose from her chair.

“I put you all through something frightening. I’m sorry.”

Princess Charlotte bowed in apology.
The entourage froze in surprise.
Lifting her face, Princess Charlotte spotted Beppo.

“Oh, Beppo was with you too.”

“Princess Charlotte… um… about that time…”

“I haven’t told anyone what we saw and heard during the exam. I’m sorry for asking so many unreasonable things of you.”

A few days after the pass announcement.
This day was for buying up the tools needed for academy life.

Five women had gathered in the school store building of Romulus Academy.
Lady Ulrika and Olivia, Charlotte, Natasha.
And Queen Victoria.

Incidentally, the reason Queen Victoria was there was simply to add to the bustle.
She had run into them by chance at Romulus Castle and stuck with them as they were.

And so the five of them borrowed a room in the store building and went on with preparations.
Lady Ulrika tried on a navy blazer and spun around.

“Mm. The size is a perfect fit! I like it!!”

“It’s good, Ulrika. It suits you wonderfully!”

“Ulrika-chan is adorable. It’s lovely!”

“Is it? Thank you, Lottie, Victoria!”

“”Hauu~n””

Queen and princess, both smitten with Lady Ulrika’s cuteness.
Like mother, like daughter.

Olivia and Natasha, meanwhile, stayed still in the corner of the room.
Faced with two royals, they had completely shrunk into themselves.

“Look at this white uniform! It’s the mark of the advanced class!!”

“I’m advanced class too! Does it suit me?”

“Lucky… I’m general class, so mine’s black…”

“A black uniform is fine, isn’t it. If you’d been lower class, it would have been a navy uniform, you know? Navy is unsightly.”

The uniforms the new students wore differed in color.

Those who had passed into the advanced class wore white blazers.
Those who had passed into the general class wore black blazers.
And the lower class Lady Ulrika had passed into wore navy blazers.

Before the ceremony, new students and families alike were in high spirits.
Among them, one new student was especially lively.

“Thank you all for assembling.”

Chancellor Zephard of the Demon Realm bowed politely.
Before him, five demons stood in a line.

Six demons, including Zephard.
They were the Grand Dukes of the Demon Realm, under Lady Ulrika’s direct command.

Chancellor, Zephard van Steincross.
Silver Star, Emilio Astercross.
Flame Emperor, Mia Ragnacross.
Black Dragon, Dralg Draniacross.
Fiend, Jubei Yatsuse.
Hundred Beasts, Vermilia Animacross.

Each of them was a mighty demon of a class that would not be strange if they called themselves Demon King.

“Today is a matter of great—”

“Grrr…”

A low growl cut Zephard off.
The speaker was a huge jet-black dragon: Black Dragon Dralg. Continue reading →

A Shadow Stirring in the Capital Night

The night of the royal capital Romulus is dark.
Moonlight and the faint glow of streetlamps light the town.

On a dim, hazy night road, there was a young woman.

“Haa… I’ve gotten late… nfufu…”

A hint of liquor hung about her. She walked with unsteady, uncertain steps.
Now and then she grinned for no reason. She was drunk, most likely.

“Nngh… I hate how dark it is around here~… I’ll trip~”

The road she walked was the avenue facing Romulus Academy.
On the quiet street, only the click of her shoes sounded.

“You there…”

A low man’s voice, faintly heard.
The sudden voice startled the woman; she stopped.

“Eh…?”

“You there, miss… a moment, if you would?”

The man’s voice came from the dark of a building’s shadow.

“Walking alone this late at night, you might meet with something dangerous…” Continue reading →

The Vampire Incident

Early morning, Romulus Castle.
Three men had gathered in the king’s study.

One was the king of the Kingdom of Romulus, King Zenon.
Another was Minister Rudolf.
And the last was the academy’s highest authority, Headmaster Neumann.

The men around the table wore grave expressions.

“Rudolf. There is no mistake in the contents of the report?”

“None. I confirmed it myself as well. The woman found as a corpse had bite marks left on her neck.”

Several papers were scattered across the table.
Rudolf read from one of them.

“The victim’s name is Rosetta, a teacher at Romulus Academy. Last night she was out drinking late with friends, then walked home alone. The last to see her was a woman friend. This morning she was discovered with the blood drained from her whole body.”

“…A vampire… then…”

The study went dead quiet.

“Yes… there is little doubt it was a vampire’s work.”

“Damn it. Of all places, to appear in the royal capital…”

“They are enemies of humankind, you see. One of the beings said to be the most evil.”

“It reminds me of a few years ago… the large-scale battle with vampires. The damage then was terrible.”

“The strife between humans and vampires is a long one. Incompatible beings, I suppose.”

A heavy air flowed through the study. Continue reading →

“”Ulrika!?””

Lady Ulrika had appeared all of a sudden.
King Zenon and Rudolf held their heads, at a loss.

“Hihihiii~!?”

And Headmaster Neumann was prostrating himself at Lady Ulrika’s feet.
Her mere appearance was chaos.

“Ulrika. Did you need something?”

“Mm! School starts tomorrow, so I thought I’d show you the bag I’m taking…”

Bag in one hand, Lady Ulrika spun around.
Her skirt lifted lightly. A terribly cute gesture.

“You seem to be in the middle of something?”

“Ulrika! Wait, Ulrika!!”

This time a cute voice burst in from outside the door.
A flustered Charlotte had come chasing Lady Ulrika. Continue reading →

“There’s one in this room too, you know?”

At Lady Ulrika’s word, the air in the study froze at once.
In the rising tension, a cute voice burst in from outside the door.

“You two! Please wait~”

“Wait, Livi, don’t leave me behind!”

Olivia and Natasha.
The two of them hurried into the study. Sensing the heavy air, they fell quiet at once.

“Ah… sorry…”

“Never mind. You two stay still.”

King Zenon’s words carried a force that brooked no argument.

“Back to the matter… Ulrika. Is it a fact that there is a vampire in this room?”

“Mm. No mistake!”

“In other words, I, Rudolf, Headmaster Neumann, Charlotte. One of we four is a vampire. Is that it?” Continue reading →

“Lady Ulrika is a vampire? It can’t be…”

“That’s—I can’t believe it…”

Olivia and Natasha, having heard the circumstances from King Zenon.
Both of them had frozen, mouths open, from sheer surprise.
Lady Ulrika, for her part, sat in a chair kicking her legs, at her usual pace.

“I hadn’t told you either, Livi? I am the True Ancestor of vampires.”

“”True Ancestor…””

“Those are things we’d like to be told sooner.”

“Mm. I’ll be careful from now on!”

Lady Ulrika answered brightly, whether she understood or not.
King Zenon, exasperated, still brought the talk back to the vampire matter.

“Now, Ulrika. There are a few things I want to ask.”

“Hmm. What might they be?”

“First: are there other vampires in the castle?”

“I don’t sense a presence. There aren’t any now.”

“Then what about the castle town? Can you tell?” Continue reading →

The second day after the vampire incident.
This was the underground training ground of Romulus Castle.

“Mm! You’re all here!!”

Gathered were Lady Ulrika, Olivia, Charlotte, and Natasha—the four of them.
And King Zenon.
Olivia, Charlotte, and Natasha were in light clothes that looked easy to move in.

“Then I order you three again. Swiftly subjugate the vampires lurking in the castle town!”

“””Yes!”””

“However, I cannot leave it to you as you are now! You will acquire the strength to fight vampires. Today’s special training is for that!!”

“””Yes!!”””

King Zenon’s voice was full of spirit.
Charlotte shrugged and slowly raised a hand. Continue reading →

The night of the royal capital Romulus is dark.
Moonlight is hidden by clouds; the town is wrapped in pitch-black dark.

By King Zenon’s order, a ban on going out at night.
Because of it, not a single person was walking about.

In the midst of that, a figure moved furtively along a dim street.
It seemed to be a girl student of Romulus Academy.
With suspicious motions she slipped quickly from one building’s shadow to the next.

The figure came out onto the avenue in front of Romulus Academy.
There, she suddenly stopped.

“You there…”

“Eh…”

“You there, miss… a moment, if you would?”

A man’s voice came from the dark of a building’s shadow. Continue reading →

“Vampire! Prepare yourself!!”

Charlotte leveled her staff at Bram.
Bram, for his part, slowly got up and recovered his stance.

“Hihihih! You’re the ones who should prepare!!”

Changed to black mist, Bram melted thickly into the night dark.
Behind the wary Charlotte, black mist began to swirl.

“A royal life, I’ll take it!”

Bram took physical form and lunged at Charlotte.
Natasha noticed first and drew her sword in a flash.

“I won’t let you!” Continue reading →

Parting the black mist, Bram slowly appeared.

“Wha—what is that form!?”

Gleaming bright-red eyes.
Hair dyed an uncanny white.
His skin, turned blue-pale, was covered on the surface with blackish veins.

A Bram like a different person stood there.

“No—his arm has regenerated!”

“Tremendous mana! Lady Charlotte, Livi, behind me!”

Lady Ulrika had appeared all of a sudden.
She was holding Bram’s Demon Claw at bay with one hand, easily.

“Lottie! Livi! Sasha! All three of you did well!!”

Lady Ulrika turned and smiled at them.

“Leave the rest to me…”

Then she turned a sharp gaze on Bram.
In those eyes was a quiet, deep killing intent.

Sunlight peeked over the horizon.
Scattered by the light, dust in the air began to glitter.

The town lit by the morning glow had become a different place in a single night.
Cobblestones crumbled to ruin by the aftershock of the fight.
The outer wall of Romulus Academy was deeply gouged by annihilation magic.

And Charlotte, Olivia, and Natasha, covered in wounds, battered.
All three sat limp on the ground.

The early-morning town was still. House doors opened one after another.
With sunrise the ban on going out at night was lifted, and the citizens of Romulus came outside. Continue reading →

The day after the vampire subjugation, Romulus Castle.
Many nobles, ministers, and knights had gathered in the audience chamber.

King Zenon sat on the throne, a mild smile on his face.
Where his gaze fell, three girls were on their knees.
Charlotte, Olivia, and Natasha.

“Charlotte, Olivia, Natasha. Your service in this vampire subjugation was admirable.”

In a solemn air, King Zenon’s voice rang out.

“Thanks to you, peace has returned to the town of Romulus. On behalf of the country, I convey our gratitude.”

He rose from the throne and walked up to the three of them.

“You did well, Charlotte. Olivia and Natasha, I thank you for helping my daughter as well.”

“Father…” Continue reading →

Late at night.
The hour even vampires are sound asleep.
A soft light burned in King Zenon’s study.

Sitting on the sofas were King Zenon and Rudolf.
They conversed quietly, knocking back drink.

“Even so, I was surprised by Charlotte’s growth.”

“Yes. That precarious air from a little while ago has vanished. She’s a fine royal now.”

“It’s thanks to meeting Ulrika. I can’t thank that little Demon King enough.”

Clink, went the glass.

“By the way, Rudolf…”

“Yes, what is it?”

“Do you remember Ulrika’s words?” Continue reading →

The castle town of Romulus, lit by morning sun.
Charlotte, Olivia, and Natasha were walking the town’s main avenue.
Having finished the vampire subjugation, they had been given the day off.

It should have been an enjoyable holiday.
Olivia, however, looked apologetic.

“I’m sorry, both of you… you invited me shopping, and in the end Lady Ulrika couldn’t come…”

“It’s fine, Olivia. That couldn’t be helped.”

“Yes. It couldn’t be helped.”

Charlotte and Natasha both started giggling.

“After all, the three of us—myself, Natasha, and Olivia—tried to wake her, and she wouldn’t get up at all.”

“Ulrika really was sleeping so soundly!”

Yes. The reason for Lady Ulrika’s absence was sleeping in.

“Haa… from tonight I’ll put her to bed early.”

“That’s right. School starts tomorrow. We have to make sure she isn’t late.”

“I know! Let’s buy Ulrika a souvenir to take back!”

“My, that’s a good idea!”

“Yes. I’m sure Lady Ulrika will be glad.” Continue reading →

Olivia was with them, for good measure.

“First day of school~! I’m so glad~!!”

Today was Lady Ulrika’s first day of school, and her first class.
School bag in hand, she ran around, pattering.

“You there~! Today I take my first class, you know!”

“Ah… is that so…”

“You there! How is my bag? Does it suit me?”

“Yes… I suppose…” Continue reading →

Dark clouds hung over Romulus Academy.

The three of the lower class and Olivia had been brought by the student council to the edge of the academy grounds.
Heinrich, walking at the front, stopped before a ramshackle hut.

“We’ve arrived. Here.”

“…What is this?”

“Be quiet and go inside.”

“Wait! Won’t you explain why you’ve brought us to a place like this? And as for the reason classes are cancelled—”

“Shut up! Just get inside, quickly!”

Charlotte and Natasha resisted.
They were shoved in the back, however, and forced into the hut.

Lady Ulrika, meanwhile, went into the hut swaying, supported by Olivia.
She did not resist at all, as if her soul had left her.

“Classes are cancelled… classes are cancelled… classes are cancelled…” Continue reading →
