"Ah… What should we do? Yuri, Kaoru, please help me think of a solution! Hurry, hurry!" Ena shook Yuri and Miss Kaoru vigorously, looking like she wouldn't cooperate if they didn't come up with a good plan.
Seeing Ena acting like a spoiled brat instead of thinking seriously, Miss Kaoru and Yuri both had black lines on their foreheads.
"Damn Ena, behave yourself!" Miss Kaoru slapped away Ena's mischievous hands and regretted coming to see this brat.
"Hmph, it's all because those old fools in the Seishuuin family are too delusional. They even dared to target Sora's ideas and wanted to monopolize him. That's impossible!" Miss Kaoru said mercilessly.
"Let alone Sora, even his women aren't simple. Forget Yuri and those two maids, Erica that sly fox and Liliana from the Bronze-Black Cross are top-tier and extremely tough opponents!"
"If it were before, with Ena's special abilities and the divine tools granted by that great master, they wouldn't be a threat. But according to Yuri, Sora has already blessed them with protection. Those who can use divine power can even fight gods!"
"Then there's the witch from Sardina Island, Lucretia Zola. Although intelligence reports say she's lazy and content with mediocrity, she's definitely not simple. She might even be tougher than Erica and Liliana."
"Finally, there's the heretic goddess Athena. No need to say more—ten Enas combined wouldn't stand a chance against that serpent goddess!"
"No matter how you look at it, there's no chance of winning. Give up on that impossible and boring mission, Ena!" Miss Kaoru said seriously, warning her.
Although Sora was a hateful guy who made her teeth itch with anger, he was one of the few friends Miss Kaoru truly recognized. Their current bond with Sora was hard-earned. If Ena ruined that bond because of those old fools' ridiculous fantasies, it would be a huge loss.
"Yeah, Ena, you should give up. Erica, Liliana, and Miss Zola are all manageable, and Goddess Athena is different from other gods. You shouldn't do those things," Yuri also advised with a worried look. Both sides were important to her, making the girl feel very conflicted.
Although little miko Hikari wanted to say something, she saw Miss Kaoru's expression and sulked silently instead.
"Ah… so annoying. After hearing Kaoru, it really seems impossible for Ena to complete grandma's mission," Ena said, rubbing her head in frustration. She was very upset—why did grandma give her such a difficult task?
"That goddess is out of the question. Ena isn't arrogant enough for that. That witch Zola might be strong, but it seems we don't need to worry about her for now…"
"Hmm, I've decided!" Ena suddenly stood up as if she had made a firm decision.
"Phew… finally giving up? What a troublesome one," Miss Kaoru sighed in relief, thinking if Ena caused trouble, she would be indirectly responsible and Sora would definitely come after her.
Last time during the Marquis Voban incident, she had beaten Sora in a fit of anger. Although it felt good at the time, she regretted it later.
Luckily, Sora was different from other demon kings. Otherwise, that alone would have been enough to destroy her and the entire Sayanomiya family ten times over.
Although she knew Sora wouldn't hold a grudge, Miss Kaoru had been avoiding him lately. Just because he wouldn't hold a grudge didn't mean he wouldn't retaliate, and she was absolutely sure of that!
"That's great, Ena. It's best if everyone gets along well. You finally came back, so tell Sora quickly. He'll be very happy to know you're here," Yuri said with a relieved smile, hands clasped and cheeks faintly blushing.
"Give up? Yuri, Kaoru, are you misunderstanding something?" Ena asked with a puzzled expression.
"Eh?!!" The two women's expressions froze, their relief instantly dashed.
"I can't disobey grandma's orders. I don't want to think about the future too much. That goddess Athena is unavoidable, and that witch Zola can be ignored for now, but I absolutely cannot ignore Erica and Liliana!"
"It was Ena who made the knight's pact with Sora. They dared to take what belongs to me, and I'm very angry!"
"The king only needs me as his knight. Everyone else is my enemy and must be eliminated!"
Without a hint of joking, a powerful aura suddenly burst from Ena, shocking the other women in the room.
Though usually calm and composed, Ena was a girl with strong will. Once she decided on something, she wouldn't change easily.
Moreover, she never considered the so-called "consequences." She only thought about what she needed and wanted to do!
"You, don't you worry Sora will hate you because of this?" Miss Kaoru covered her forehead, knowing this girl was beyond saving but couldn't help asking.
"Hehehe… Don't worry, don't worry. Ena is just going to take back what belongs to her. She definitely won't do anything to make Sora dislike her!"
"As long as those two guys obediently leave Sora alone, Ena will generously forgive them and won't do anything to them."
Waving her hand casually, Ena wore a completely unconcerned expression.
Well, exchanging a glance, Miss Kaoru and Yuri both knew that this was going to be quite a show…
…
Although school days were still as boring as ever, ever since a certain unscrupulous great witch became the homeroom teacher, things had gotten a lot more interesting.
The great witch was teaching history to the class. In this world, to be a qualified witch—or any kind of magician—not only must one understand various spells and magic, but more importantly, one must have an extremely clear understanding of mythology and history.
Whether gods or demon kings, these supreme beings are closely connected to those mythological stories and historical events. If a magician doesn't know these, then they really can't hold their own.
The great witch's knowledge of history was needless to say. Having studied mythology and history for decades, she easily outclassed the school's history teachers by miles. Teaching a bunch of middle school kids was as easy as drinking water for her.
However, would this unscrupulous woman really just teach properly and attend classes quietly? Obviously not!
Watching her classmates one by one being led astray into the dark "wrong path" by the great witch, Sora could only mutter a few "goose tofu" prayers for them in his heart.
Because Sora had specifically instructed it, the great witch did not show their relationship openly at school.
Actually, Sora knew that his reputation was already bad enough both in the magic world and at school. Walking around campus, he was constantly pointed at and talked about—nicknames like "Demonic King," "Harem King," "H Pervert," "Loli Maniac," and other envious, jealous, and hateful words were endless.
Although Sora had a very thick skin and didn't care about these, he really didn't want to upset his friends any further. If they found out he was also involved with the extremely charming new teacher Zola at school, they would probably go crazy!
Actually, his friends were already crazy enough. One person monopolized the beautiful and outstanding Erica and Liliana, and even the adorable little loli Athena wasn't spared. Why hadn't the police come to arrest this evil bastard yet?!
Well, although some of his friends had tried to sneak up on Sora to vent their anger, the results were predictable. Now Sora was too lazy to intervene himself; if anyone dared to mess with him, he just let Erica and Liliana deal with them!
Occasionally Athena wanted to practice and keep active, but luckily Sora had already told this loli goddess to take it easy. Otherwise, who knows how many poor guys would have gone to meet Grandpa Marx by now.
Coming to school was originally just to kill time, so listening to lectures was out of the question. Although the top student Athena had once been a good student, now her interest was lukewarm. She asked Sora for a game controller, and the three of them—Erica, Athena, and Sora—formed a team to roam the 2D world all day. The three fallen friends had become a bright and unique scenery in the class.
Liliana wasn't interested in classes either, but as long as she could be with her king, she was very happy and satisfied. Sitting behind Sora every day, just looking at his back seemed to fill the girl with inspiration, constantly creating new works.
At this rate, it probably wouldn't be long before this knight girl devoted to literature became a goddess herself… sweat
