The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Amongst them was the very rare thread called the demon dragon thread which was produced by dragons. A dress with moonlight sewn into it called <Moon Weaving Dress>. A robe woven with fur from the golden lion Sirius which was called the most beautiful in the world, the <Gold Lion’s Robe>. There were a lot of other pretty costumes as well.

“You can choose something that will suit Sasha.”

Misha stares at the clothes scattered around the treasury.

I know her quite well now. I know that she is not looking at the outer clothes but rather at their abyss.

Magic items made in the age of myths choose their own owners. You can’t just give someone an item as you don’t know if it will accept them or not. It’s not easy. How’s she doing?

After a while, Misha began to walk.

“This is good.”

The item she picked up was woven with feathers from the divine bird Phoenix <Phoenix’s Vestment>. On one hand it grants you the blessing of the immortal fire but on the other hand, if you are not worthy of it it will turn you into ash.

“It looks beautiful but it can be difficult to wear.”

“…….Nn…….”

Do you understand? I know she has strong demon eyes but how can she be certain that it will accept Sasha?

“You should give it to her then.”

With a happy smile on her face, Misha held <Phoenix’s Vestmant> in both hands. How she was holding it said how important it was to her.

She heads back to the door where Sasha is but on the way she was distracted by a ring placed on a pedestal.

The <Ice Lotus Leaf Ring>. It gives off a cold air and got its name after covering the seven seas with ice lotus leaves.

It’s no coincidence that Misha saw the ring. Magic items and their users are attracted to each other.

“Do you want it?”

Misha stares at the ring expressionlessly.

“It’s Misha’s birthday tomorrow as well.”

She shakes her head.

“……..It’s fine…….”

Misha leaves the treasury as if running away.

“Fumu”

There might be some circumstances. Whatever. On my way out I take the <Ice Lotus Leaf Ring> and go after Misha.

“Ah! Arnos, Misha, where’d you go? When I looked up you were gone. I was worried.”

Sasha hurries our way carrying the king’s sceptre.

“My bad. Were you lonely?”

“I already said I was……..worried.”

Why say it again if you feel embarrassed?

“Please stop looking at me with that face. It feels like you are looking down on me.”

“What are you saying. The words ‘looking down on someone’ don’t exist in my dictionary.”

“Please look in a mirror and then say that again.”

What’s she saying? I don’t understand what she’s getting at.

“Do we have any more business here?”

Suddenly turning around Sasha looks back at the altar. All that’s left is to return and complete the dungeon exam so we should finish our other business quickly.

“Are you going to give it to her?” I said to Misha who was hiding behind my back.

“….Now……?”

“Or are you going to hide it and give it her at home?”

After thinking a little Misha shakes her head and steps out from behind my back.

“Sasha.”

Sasha looks back and was surprised to see the <Phoenix’s Vestment> in Misha’s hands.

“What’s that Misha?”

“…..I found it……”

“Here?”

Misha nods.

“For you.”

“…..Eh? for me? Is that okay?……Because…..that’s……an outrageous magical tool.”

She understood the huge magical power hidden within as she stares at it with her demon eyes.

“……..Tomorrow. Because it’s your birthday…….”

Sasha smiles softly and tears come to the corner of her eyes.

“I haven’t got you anything.”

“…….I don’t need anything……”

Sasha smile was troubled.

“Thank you Misha. I’m so happy. I’ll treasure it my entire life.”

Misha smiles with joy.

“….Nn…..”

Magic circles form in her eyes as she looks at the <Phoenix’s Vestment>. <Demon Eye’s of Ruin>. There’s no need for them here so has she become emotional causing them to come out?

Somethings odd though. If it was overflowing joy then they should have come out after she was told it was for her birthday but they came out while staring at the <Phoenix’s Vestment>. Something has made her excited. What’s she come up with?

“Can I wear it?”

Misha nods and hands <Phoenix’s Vestment> over to Sasha.

She puts her hands on her uniform buttons but then looks at me as if she’s just noticed me.

“I’m changing my clothes……”

“Aah. I’ll turn around.”

“That’s no good! Please go into that room over there!!”

Good grief. She knows how to make work for people. Can’t be helped.

I listen to what she said and enter the treasury.

As I was about to close the door Misha unexpectedly appeared.

“….She was pleased…..”

“That’s good.”

“……Arnos’ help……”

“You were the one that chose it.”

Misha looks shy.

“….Today is the happiest day of my life……”

“You exaggerate.”

Misha shakes her head.

“Thank you.”

I nodded and softly closed the door.
