The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)
Chapter 1.2
“Do you know of the demon king academy Mother?”
My mother tilts her head to side showing she doesn’t understand it.
“Never heard of it. Where is it?”
“It’s quite far away. It’s in Deiruheido.”
“A school in such a far off place. Is something wrong?”
“An invitation arrived to enter the school. I intend to go.”
“You, you cant. Such a far-off school? It’s dangerous! Arnos-chan is only a month old.”
…..No. Even if you say a month.
As a reincarnated person it’s a bit troubling being treated like a baby.
Unfortunately, they don’t believe the reincarnated story at all.
My mother doesn’t know anything about my character as the demon king either.
“Also mother cant travel such a distance to Deiruheido. There’s a magic school nearby. Is that no good?”
“There’s nothing to learn from a magic school. Besides, I’ll be going alone so mother is safe here.”
“That’s no good. Arnos-chan is only a month old. I can’t let you live alone. What about money?”
“I can make money myself.”
“How? The world isn’t so nice as-”
Magic power gathers in my palm and lumps of gold appear.
“Eh………? No way………this……….it’s not a fake made by magic……. its real.”
My mother makes her living as an expert appraiser. She very good at judging precious metals.
She can no see how easy it is for me to make money.
“How did you do this Arnos-chan? Such magic. Even the sage at the castle can’t do this.”
It seems my mother is surprised. It’s no wonder.
Speaking of the sage at the castle, they are a master of magic and compete for the top spot in the country.
If you couldn’t even use this low-level type of magic back in the age of myths you would have died but apparently, the world has become very peaceful.
“It’s the most basics of creation magic to produce things that already exist in the world. The beginners class teaches you to create mithril and orichalcum. For the demon king Arnos this is mere child play.”
Do you believe me even a little that I’m a reincarnated being now?
“No matter how great a magic you can use no means no. Also, you shouldn’t call your own name like that if you are an adult. Okay?”
Tch. She’s got a point……….
“What is this school then? What would you be studying?”
What should I do? I can easily leave by force.
“It’s alright Isabella.”
My father comes over from the depths of the house.
“There’s no holding a man back from the road he’s decided on.”
“But dear, Arnos-chan is only a month old and I don’t know anything about this school.”
“They say if you don’t see a boy for 3 days they grow. Arnos is already a month old. In that case, we will have to observe him 10 times more but father doesn’t have eyes that big.”(3)
Ah, un. It’s been a month. Having lived together for a month with my parents I understand them. My mother is a worrywart and my dad is a bit of a fool.
“Father knows Arnos. The demon king academy is a school a raises the wizard king isn’t it? Arnos is so good at magic I’m sure he wants to study there.”
“……..I guess it’s roughly like that………”
It’s totally different but let’s keep that to myself.
“Go Arnos.” My dad said in a powerful voice.
“Is it okay?”
My father nods.
“However, we will all go together.”
…….What?
“It’s the duty of a parent to support their child. You are still young. You are only a month old after all.”
“…………….So fathers worried as well.”
*chichichi* my father wags his finger.
“It’s Arnos that doesn’t understand. Listen up. Parents are always sad and lonely when a child leaves home. You are a newborn. We will be very lonely.”
My father is using difficult words to explain it.
I think you should use simpler words.
“Isabella’s lonely too right?”
“Yes…..you grew up so fast. I didn’t think…..sorry. Maybe Arnos-chan is a child given great power by God and you think your mother is obstructive but I want to be together a little longer.”
I’m at a loss for words.
In my old life, I didn’t have parents.
My mother died.
Did my father die? Did he throw me away? I don’t know.
I don’t remember ever talking to my parents.
I never thought about it.
“If you will be lonely I guess there’s no help for it.”
My mothers face lit up when I said this.
“Alright, its decided! We’ll prepare to move house straight away. Don’t worry about anything. Father is a blacksmith. No matter where we go we won’t have to worry about eating!”
And like this, the three-person family will move to Deiruheido.
(1) Kanji reads reincarnation but the furigana reads silica.
(2) Kanji reads growth but the furigana reads crest.
(3) The three days thing is part of an old proverb but I couldn’t find a good English source to explain it better.
My mother tilts her head to side showing she doesn’t understand it.
