Chapter 21: The end of the royal magic

Along with the flashy light-works, I returned to Media's home.

Before my eyes, Media has a surprised expression.

「Oh! Your back! So that means you did actually learn Royal Teleport…….what did you do, Kouta-kun. You have a terribly bitter face, are you alright?」

「Well, it was rough」

I was suddenly thrown into a battlefield where there was a monster.

And then I was nearly killed.

I unleashed Highest tier magic, and then was sent back home without getting anything.

「Monster?」

「Ah, it was a big giant. It said it was a demon」

「……W-Wait, don't tell me you survived a battle with a demon?」

If I did not survive I would not be here right now, but with her eyes glazed over, Media slips off her chair.

「C-Can you tell me what happened over there?」

「Somehow I got involved in the battle between the princess and demon, so I just released Highest tier magic and ran away」

「You really have more strength than I imagined……. To even be able to hold your own against a demon」

While wiping her sweat, Media weakens and leans on the chair.

「Fuuー……so that's what happened……」

Was it that much of a surprise?

「Demons put simply are the enemies of humanity. Unless it is an army of adventurers or soldiers, it is usually a strong enemy one cannot compete against. They are stronger than monsters and possess a high level of intelligence」

「Hm, so there are such people?」

Apparently their purpose is the resurrection of the demon king somehow, maa, you can basically think of them as strong beings that attack people」

I see. So they are a threat to the the world. I appreciate the information, but I would have like to know it beforehand. Also…

「Why is the princess fighting against that……」

「The current princess must be brave. Well, because of that bravery, you were sent to the battlefield by the royal teleport and appeared dazzling in front of the princess」

That’s right. The problem is this royal magic.

「This is at the level that it is completely unusable, it is pure evil」

Although it has an infinite number of uses, the flas.h.i.+ness is completely unnecessary.

Do I have to live while wondering when I will be called to the battlefield?

「I want to seal off that magic soon, I want to throw away this grimoire……」

『P-Please do not throw it awayー! Or actually even if it is thrown away it will follow――!!』

Soulas trembles in her grimoire state and protests it.
