Magika no Kenshi to Shoukan Maou

Like a drifting wood from a far-off sea finally arriving at the shore——Kazuki's consciousness woke up.

The organized consciousness dyed the inside of his pure-white mind. It seems that he had slept for a long period.

This place is——my own room in the Witch's Mansion. My clothes had been changed with clean clothes.

I had a feeling that someone called me but——there was no one around.

I stretched my weakening body and then went out to the corridor but there was no human presence in the second floor.

What about Mio? That's right, what happened to Mio…!?

After descending the stairs, there was a human presence in the kitchen.

Opening the door——A scene that was so distant from reality entered Kazuki's eyes.

There was a maid. The back figure with dancing frills for some reason was cooking food.

"…Kazuki, you woke up!"

The girl turning around was Mio but——'Impossible' Kazuki was in too much of a shock.

"Don't stand up, sleep and don't force yourself, come on."

Mio, who was in maid clothing, pushed Kazuki who came to the kitchen back to his room.

It's overbearing but her attitude and hand manner was gentle. ——Exactly like a maid.

Kazuki who was pushed back to his room obediently lowered his back on the bed. I don't understand what's going on.

Mio came to the room holding an earthenware pot.

"I have a feeling that you'll wake up around today so…I had a feeling that I heard a reply, so I made porridge!"

…Reply? But certainly, inside the dream-like world, I had a feeling that Mio's voice resounded.

Mio brought the desk's chair to Kazuki's bedside and she sat down.

"…Why maid?"

"You see, you are, you like maid right? When you woke up I thought I will do something that you like…fuufuu"

Mio scooped a mouthful of porridge into the china spoon, blew the porridge herself and 'aan' held the spoon.

"I, I can eat it myself! I am the slave and you are the master isn't it!?"

"Today I am a maid okay! Besides…I'm not really seriously thinking of Kazu-nii as a slave. Realize that properly already…"

Mio pouted her lips in displeasure. No, I understood already but…!

"Come on, you like maids right? It's okay to admire it as much as you like. Here, aan"

It was not that I liked to be served by a maid, I just like to work like a maid but, Kazuki 'aan' opened his mouth. Warmth spread inside his weakened body.

"You, are you alright?"

"What are you talking about, 'alright'? That's what I should be asking you know! How long do you think you were asleep, you know! Five days!?"

Mio was…did she not remember about how close she was to death? Or else, was everything a dream?

"I should say this; however, these five days unthinkable things keep happening in the world you know."

In only a few days, Loki had already gathered the illegal magicians and put them together with enigmatic leadership. Next, he introduced Loki's Einherjar and declared war to the government. Loki already began guerrilla attacks to the Knight Order in the whole country——hearing Mio's story, I finally fully realized that as expected, it was not a dream.

"The Knight Order judged that for a while Loki won't be making any big moves. It seems Loki is waiting until the other illegal magicians transform into Divas. That's why to stop that right now, the Knight Order is searching for Loki's whereabouts while they are also preparing large scale operations. It's certainly pretty busy right now."

Mio demonstrated the current situation of flurry of activities by waving and wriggling her hands and feet around.

So far the Knight Order kept stopping the illegal magician's Divas that were on the verge of awakening. But if Loki became the leader of the illegal magicians, even for the Knight Order, it would be difficult to stop them——it might be that the Divas that are like Loki who obtained flesh and body would make their appearances one after another.

"Even at the academy, the Quests for assisting the Knight Order are increasing, even now the senpais are out there helping with the Quest. The senpais right now are forming the strongest combination with the Sword Division's student council you see. …I and Hiakari are first year so we cannot participate though."

"The senpais with Kanae and the others are…!?"

"…From now on it might be that the friction between <Magic DivisionMagica> and Sword Division will lessen little by little huh."

The senpais were even now going through Quest and participating in the fight with Loki.

Even now the grieving scream of Kaya was still ringing inside my ear. And then Loki's sneer too…

"…I wonder if I too can also fight against Loki."

"A dangerous quest concerning a Diva doesn't have any relation with a Rank E like you doesn't it? At best you will get a quest for Haunted Ground elimination or Demon Beast suppression you know."

"I, I see…that's right isn't it…I forgot but, I'm just a Rank E…"

"That's why it will be good if you form a party with me who is ranked A you know!"

Mio was 'fufuun' saying that while puffing up her chest.

"If we formed a party and steadily cleared the quest, even first-years like us can become involved with quests regarding Loki you see!"

A party of…me and Mio…?

"Wha…what is it…you are not satisfied? you are not satisfied aren't you?"

"There is no way I'm dissatisfied. Those words of honor are completely wasted on me, Master."

"…I said stop it already with calling me Master! Hehehe, alright then, from now on we are not slave and master anymore, we are partner that fight together in a party!! Beating Demon Beast, traveling Haunted Ground on foot, adventures of collecting sacred treasures…Even Kaguya-senpai and the others are no big deals!"

Mio came and grasped Kazuki's hand. Living fingers that radiated warmth.

"…Kazu-nii and I, because we will be together for a long time…"

At that moment——Kazuki thought 'I'm really glad that Mio is still alive.'

I want to protect this girl. Such feeling was seething inside. I want power for that purpose…

{If you want power, then it's harem for sure. Harem. The next target is surely Hiakari Koyuki okay!}

Kazuki was shocked because suddenly Leme's voice echoed inside his mind.

Because of Kazuki's silence, Mio started to fidget restlessly with Kazuki's hand that was in her grasp.

"…By the way, did Hiakari-san not enter a party?"

"Why, it's no good to enter that girl into our party and become comrades you know, isn't it good enough with only the two of us?"

"No, why do you leave her out like that? That girl is absolutely strong right? …Ouch ouch!"

Mio suddenly pinched Kazuki's hand, Kazuki whose defensive magic power was currently running dry raised his voice.

"…It's fine if you don't invite me to something like a party. I have chosen the path of a solo player."

The door of Kazuki's room was opened and Koyuki appeared in her <Magic DressDécolleté Oblique>.

"Hiakari-san? What is that, solo player?"

"Good morning, Kazuki. You are really a person who doesn't know the rule of this academy don't you? A Solo player is someone that challenges a quest alone. Even now I just came from finishing a quest."

"…Isn't that dangerous? You should join our party you know."

"I don't like it. That kind of thing like disturbing between the two of you… Even though I'm alone, leaving that aside I've shown that I'm strong. I am a special magician. Because I'm an elf whose only worth is her magic power…" 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

"There are some voices talking! Did Otouto-kun already wake up!?"

'DOTABATADOTABATA' While raising loud footsteps, the two senpais spiritedly leaped into the room.

"Otouto-kunn! You woke up, I'm really glad!"

The moment their figures appeared, Kaguya-senpai and Hoshikaze-senpai leaped straight toward Kazuki's bed.

Wait a minute, though Kaguya-senpai who always did an extreme skinship was expected, why did Hoshikaze-senpai that was poor with men also come and hugged me!? And with their <Magic DressDécolleté Oblique> forms that had high exposure rates too!

"So, sorry! Even though it's unpleasant with someone like me, who resemble both genders, but…!"

With a timid tone of voice, Hoshikaze-senpai clung to Kazuki on top of the bed.

"Not fair…" Koyuki muttered in subdued tone. Looking closely, the cheek of the girl was also flushed.

"…I, even though I…tried to endure for a while already…!"

This kind of thing, even Koyuki——with unsteady gait like a sleepwalking person came and clung to Kazuki.

"…This kind of thing, it's some kind of blunder…my chest is so hot that I arbitrarily…"

"What kind of misunderstanding? It's strange that Hoshikaze-senpai and Hiakari-san does this kind of thing!"

"…The truth is because the three of us chanted Asmodeus, the effect is…all three of us are turned on and want to do skinship. Sorryyy."

Kaguya-senpai laughed and then hugged me even tighter.

"Wa, wait wait! This guy is my Kazu-nii you know! Get away from him!"

The maid Mio came and wedged herself between in a fluster.

{For the sake of obtaining power, it's harem for sure, harem.}

Leme who once again grew a little, gently materialized besides Kazuki.

At the same time, the tangled four people's positivity level appeared in his field of vision.

Amasaki Mio——120 Otonashi Kaguya——73 Hiakari Koyuki——45 Hoshikaze Hikaru——39

Kaguya-senpai and Mio were holding Kazuki between them and quarreled jokingly.

"Mio-chan, this magic swordsman is my cute disciple you know! That's why, please!!"

"No way! This guy is the partner in the party of only he and I!"

…If Kanae saw this situation, surely 'As I thought, Nii-sama should be in the Sword Division!' she would shout like that. The current Kazuki had a lot of important people he wanted to protect.

Sensing the omen of troubles in the future, Kazuki secretly embraced his determination.

No matter what happens from now on, I will protect everything important——I will become <BasileusKing>.
