Chapter 82 (1/2)

CHAPTER 82 – THE DEMON KING’S SNEEZE

I fixed the half-destroyed mansion using magic.

To be sure, I looked at the mansion from the garden, and checked if it’s completely fixed.

「It looks like there’s no problem. Fu〜」

「What happened?」

Balthazar came to my side.

She’s as flighty as usual, and was staring at me.

「Because of somebody, I used a large scale restoration magic that shouldn’t be needed, so I’m a little tired」

「Oh〜」

Balthazar stared at me, and clapped her hands for a reason, it was a silent clap.

「Don’t mind it」

「It’s not “don’t mind it” though」

I pointed that out, but she didn’t really care.

「Even so, you’re really Balthazar huh」

「What do you mean, really?」

「The sneeze right now, I’m familiar with the magic powers that were released. I’ve fought several times after all. Against the original and the 7th」

「Is that so?」

「It’s very similar. The magic powers’ーーhmm, it’s fingerprint-like thing looked the same. Especially compared to the 7th」

「……」

Balthazar stared at me intently. She stared at me without making a sound.

「n?」

When I looked back to her, she broke into a smile, and bowed her head.

「Thank you for taking care of my mother」

「No, no, what the heck is that. That’s a little, no, quite off you know」

Balthazar also didn’t answer properly with that tsukkomi. *Totatata*, she ran, and looked closely at the mansion.

……can we do a catch ball of conversation.

I approached her. While thinking, “what should I do with her”.

「Fu, fu……」

「Fu?」

「Fuekushun!」

I instinctively crossed my arms, and created a magic s.h.i.+eld.

Balthazar’s sneeze, I remembered when the mansion was half-destroyed.

And because of that, I instinctively defended, but……nothing happened.

*Zuzuzu*, Balthazar sniffed.

Nothing happened with the sneeze that was facing towards the mansion.

「My nose feelsh itchy」

「……is it hay fever?」

「Hay fever?」

「That, or someone’s making rumors of you」

「Lucio-chan’s doing that?」

「No, that’s why I said “someone”, right. I’m in front of you after all」

「Un. Lucio-chan」

「Un?」

「I wakushun!」

She sneezed in the middle of her words.

This time, facing towards me.

There’s no problemーーI thought, but I reacted instantly.

I felt an explosion of magic powers, so I created a magic s.h.i.+eld in a hurry.

I couldn’t make it completely, and a part of my clothes and hair was burnt.

「Lucio-chan, you’re a little burnt huh〜」

「Who’s fault is it」

「The mansion’s huge huh〜」

「Let’s please talk with each other」

「Fuekushon!」

A sneeze towards the mansion. I was surprised, but there was no explosion.

「It’s really itcーーkushon!」

This time, towards me, the cutest sneezeーーand the most powerful explosion.

The s.h.i.+eld that I created beforehand was destroyed, and my head became more burnt.

「You, you’re really……」

「Faito〜」

「Faito your face. You’

re doing it on purpose right」

Balthazar tilted her head.

She had an expression that looks at it strangely……I could see her not having any evil intent, so much that it’s surprising.

Don’t tell me……she’s doing it naturally? Something like a cliché?

Oi, oi……you’re kidding right.

……yosh.

「Balthazar」
