Chapter 35.[Master. Long time no see.]

Blackie's welcome voice was heard.

I stroked over the pocket containing Blackie containing the meaning of hard work.

“But what on earth is that magic item?”

“Did you open it?”

“No. Said if opening don't even dream of thinking of seeing the daughter.”[Wasn't caught. Don't worry, Master.]

Blackie's words were much more reliable than Logan's.

“Seems so.”

“Ah, and this.”

Logan stood up from the chair and rummaged the wet clothes pile, then threw me a heavy pocket.

Receiving in a daze and opening the inside, jewels were in.

At the unexpected gold and silver treasures I was surprised and looked at him.

“What is this?”

“My inheritance.”

Why am I receiving your inheritance.

Whether my expression crumpled without knowing Logan pounded his chest and said urgently.

“What are you thinking! I! Thought of as my inheritance from our house and brought!”

“Yes?”

“Our parents passed away and brother ascended to the family head, so naturally there would also be inheritance parents left for me. Found that. Even looking like this I was the most proud child of our parents? Did all the filial piety, uh, also made a name as a swordsmanship genius. Our parents wherever going were excited talking about me. Went to parties so madly to boast?”

Logan said with a shameless face.

Um, useless information.

I also want to check Blackie's state so shall I just go.

“So what's the conclusion?”

Logan grinned.

It's awkward to say this, but really seemed not a noble young master but a sloppy delinquent.

“I'm saying I took care of my share on my own. The family vault location was the same. The password was also the same. People have to change the password periodically like this. So swept all! Ah, later have to see directly brother and sister-in-law discovering that and holding the back of the neck. Uhahaha!”

Definitely the pocket was heavy.

Many large-grained jewels so the value seemed quite high.

“But why are you giving this to me?”

“Because from now I'll live in that side's castle. My daughter will also live together. I don't know jewels or such, gave in advance so later no stingy acting with money.”

Logan earnestly requested me.

In short it's a bribe saying please take care well in the castle from now on.

If such a bribe, no harm in receiving!

Anyway I had no intention of treating Lus's teacher badly, but I hid such inner thoughts and smiled.

“I'll receive well.”* * *“The vessel candidate committed suicide.”

At the gloomy voice the Roslun Countess couldn't even lift her head in front of the communication orb and trembled.

The magic power control device attached to Logan's ankle exploded.

An explosion large enough to be visible even from afar.

The corpse wasn't found, but the castle completely collapsed, and an explosion to the extent the control device crumbled like powder so no way survived.

“Th-this is all because of the Valfruga ducal house! If, if only those guys weren't...”

“I know the explosion happened after they left the Count castle. Are you daring to try to deceive me?”

“Th-that's not...”

“I didn't want to hear your excuses.”

“I-I was all wrong! Please, please give one more chance! Please forgive. Marquess!”

At the Roslun Countess's plea the Leholas Marquess leisurely stroked his chin with his hand.

“Forgive?”

“Surely still alive! Give more time! I...!”

“Do you sincerely think can survive that explosion? Then your fault of using such a weak control device is right.”

At the Leholas Marquess's words the Countess froze and couldn't say anything.

“I already paid the price to you. Killed the previous Roslun Count couple, and made your husband the Count. In return you promised to make Logan into an excellent vessel for me.”

“Almost, almost done! Ju-just have to find!”

The Roslun Countess rubbed both hands and pleaded.

“Noisy.”

“A-a-aah!”

As soon as the Leholas Marquess's words ended, from the Countess's necklace black energy gradually rippled.

She grabbed her own neck as if unable to believe.

“P-please one more chance...! Sorry...!”

Black flames swallowed the Countess.

“A-aaaa!”

With the flames the woman's scream subsided.

And a demonic beast revealed its appearance.

A woman's face with long hair draped, a spider's body.

The woman's head spun round and round on the spider's body and laughed kiiik, kiiik.

And left the room to eat all living creatures in the castle.

As the demonic beast left the room the communication orb turned off.

“Anyway. The human body is weak. Can't even endure that level of demonic energy.”

The Leholas Marquess clicked his tongue and stood up from his seat.

And stood in front of the thick iron door behind the bookshelf.

Blowing magic power and opening the door, black flames rippling in the empty space were visible.

“Body... My... body...”

The black flames burned greedily then subsided repeating.

He politely knelt one knee in front of the flames.

“I'm sorry. The subordinates seem to have failed.”

“Body... New... body...”

The black flames repeated the same words without reason.

Seeing that appearance the Leholas Marquess anew felt the pain of Logan's escape.

If succeeded in reconstructing Logan's body his lord could also have a new body by now.

Humans who can withstand demonic energy of the lord's level were not that common.

“Don't worry. I will definitely find a new body for you. Demon King.”

His eyes shone blue in the darkness.* * *“The Roslun Countess became a demonic beast?”

As soon as returning to Valfruga Castle Treon conveyed surprising news.

“They say the Countess secretly did experiments using demonic beasts. The imperial investigation result is that the experiment went wrong and an incident happened.”

“Hmm.”

The Countess didn't look like she would be enthusiastic about experiments.

Still fortunate that the incident happened after we left.

“More than that today that's not the important thing.”

I put on the shawl and moved steps busily.

What day is today.

Exactly the day of our Lus's first swordsmanship class!

Can't miss such a monumental day.

Matching this day even newly laid magic-treated stones on the training ground floor.* * *Logan saw Lucius waving his hand to Felia sitting near the training ground.

The one who caused that fuss and brought himself was to teach the little husband.‘Our Lus is a genius of the sword!’ Felia boasted until her mouth dried, but originally kids of that age all grow hearing genius sounds unless lacking somewhere.

Do you think I've seen one or two parents making a fuss saying ‘Our kid is definitely a genius’ even just swinging a wooden stick once.

Even the geniuses Logan heard exceeded a hundred.

Among them, there was not a single guy worthy of being called a genius.

The standing posture was upright, but the slender forearm on the pretty face looked more suited to a book than a sword.‘Still the appearance is no joke.’ The cold eyes like a winter night curved brightly looking at Felia.

Every time blinking the large red eyes the long eyelashes fluttered.

Stuck in such a northern corner so, if attending a party once a beauty that would be talked about for a hundred years.

To the extent the spine chills rather wondering if a person can look that much.

“Duke. Let's start the class.”

At Logan's words the face that was smiling gently looking at Felia turned expressionlessly to Logan.

The expression change changing in an instant was to the extent of feeling sad for nothing.

“Originally I should use honorifics but now it's a teaching situation so I'll speak comfortably, Duke?”

“Do as you like.”

“Good. Then before class let me ask one thing. To win against an opponent with the sword what should one do?”

“First killing the opponent would do.”

At the answer popping out without thinking Logan laughed heartily.

“Right. You know well.”

Sarrreung-.

Logan drew the sword from the scabbard.

The silver blade shone receiving the sunlight.

“No matter how flashy a sword technique used.”

Logan's sword moved elegantly like a butterfly's wing beat.

“Whether a swift sword.”

His sword left a long mark as if lightning struck the ground.

“The essence is simple. Block the opponent's sword. And cut the opponent with the sword and kill. Do you know what's important for that?”

“...”

“Exactly the basics. Shall we try a test once? Come, try following.”

Logan first showed an example swinging the sword down.

Lucius followed Logan and took the posture and moved the sword.‘Hoo. A bit for the first time?’ Ordinarily if a kid first learning the sword either whines the sword is heavy and can't even hold properly, or often sends far away as if swinging a bat.

Lucius the posture was also perfect, and the trajectory of the sword was also clean.

Even doing only this level on the first day was a level to hear genius sounds, but didn't show it.

Because Felia far away was seen making a triumphant face saying ‘See. Our Lus is a genius I said?’

Seeing that face childishly somehow wanted to refute saying ‘No? No? Nooo!’‘What. Anyway will teach later so shall I show just a taste once in advance?’ Logan secretly blew magic power into the sword.

Felia was a person who doesn't even properly know what magic power is, and the kid in front also said learning the sword for the first time today so the same.

Logan's sword drew down.

However this time using magic power moved the sword finely to the extent not distinguished with eyes.

If seeing from outside no different from before, but to the opponent clashing the sword right in front it will feel like five swords covering at once.

“Come, try.”‘Even I who heard genius sounds could only use at twenty. No way such a young kid can.’ Logan hid his inner thoughts and said calmly.

As expected far away Felia was seen tilting her head with a face of ‘What's different?’

Lucius stared at Logan's sword.

And lifted the sword.
