Magi’s Grandson

Vol 3 Chapter 56



Prelude to the beach episode

I grandly blew away the barley field

Gus was seriously angry at me and I got asked to honestly explain the matter at the Kings Castle.

I feel like a student waiting for the teacher to get angry.

Well, Iama student of the advanced magic academy

And while waiting with my stomach in knots, King Kurt praised the fact that we repelled the devils and said that it was good that the damage was only in a part of the barley field.

Although I was honestly relieved, Gus didnt see it in that way, and promised ma.s.sive price reductions of rental fee for the rented magic tools and a ma.s.s purchase of barley.

The reason it wasnt completely free is because the Kurt Kingdom would feel a moral burden if they left all the devils to us and sat on their a.s.ses protected by the free magic tools.

King Kurt pleaded not to have it for free.

Ha It will be tough to adjust the price of barley next year(King Kurt)

Sorry(s.h.i.+n)

We left the Kings Castle of Kurt Kingdom and when Gus turned to leave the Kingdom, he muttered:

It is good to be powerful, but you should better learn how to wield that power(August)

Im really sorry(s.h.i.+n)

Ha ha well I just wanted to complain a little bit changing the price of barley is almost cute compared to the troublesome things that could come from you.(August)

Wait a minute What on earth is that supposed to mean?(s.h.i.+n)

If its you accidentally erasing one town making a country disappear destroying the world(August)

Am I a G.o.d of destruction!? Dont joke like that!(s.h.i.+n)

Huh?x13

Everyone raised doubtful voices.

I was completely honest. With that level of damage(August)

Strangely, I agree with his Highness!

Please dont inadvertently destroy the world!(Maria)

Am I a Demon King?!(s.h.i.+n)

Why is my evaluation close to the devils?! Why?

Demon King It wouldnt be strange to say

The King of the Wizards. Perfect for Walford(Alice)

Demon King s.h.i.+n(Rin)

Stop it! Stop that! Please stop!(s.h.i.+n) (Kaelpie: OP-shaming What has the world come to?)

There is no such thing as a game-like hero or demon king in this worlds history.

Therefore there is no t.i.tle like Demon King.

Although, I would rather be called Demon King than the King of the Wizards.

Because of my thoughtless words, if left as is, I will become the first Demon King! Only more embarra.s.sing names can come from that!

And so the two t.i.tles for s.h.i.+n have been decided

Dont decide it! Please dont!(s.h.i.+n)

Why? Isnt it good? The King of the Wizards t.i.tle is perfect for the Demon King s.h.i.+n

Oh yeah, I cant think of two better names.

Think of something! There is something! There must be something!(s.h.i.+n)

Dont give up! Give up and Im done for!

Well, no matter how much s.h.i.+n denies it, t.i.tles like that will spread naturally, so it will catch on soon.(August)

Im done!(s.h.i.+n)

Its a lie! Its not easy to simply accept two t.i.tles like those!

Why in the world were there no heroes and demon kings in the past?!(Kaelpie: Uhmm s.h.i.+n? Your grandparents?

)

I cant take having two t.i.tles like those!

Done from such a thing Please open the gate soon(August)

I was asked to open the gate, and clean up my act after big blows like that.

Is there anything more tragic?

Because everyone had to go home, there was no reason to refuse the request, and so I opened the gate in the usual security guards station.

Oh, your Highnesses have returned!

You came home! Congratulations!

His Highness Augusto! Ultimate Magicians Hoooraaay!

The soldiers who hurriedly packed into our arriving place were ecstatic.

What? Have you gotten a report already?(August)

Well, we were informed by an Amba.s.sador to the Kurt Kingdom: Ultimate Magicians have repulsed the devils that appeared in Kurt Kingdom with zero human casualties. There is also a celebration of your highnesses appointment as the Crown Prince, and the town is in a state of excitement.(Guard John)

Right. It would be better not to go out into the city then.(August)

Gus says he wont go out to town.

I mean, were you planning to go out into the city? Originally its supposed to be a celebration festival for Gus being sworn in as the Crown Prince. Wont it make a fuss if the person himself appears?

For some reason, what Gus just said isnt sitting right with me

Naturally! To go out into the city in the middle of this fuss Please also empathize with the Ultimate Magicians(Guard Jim)

Are we also(Sicily)

People will talk. The names of the Ultimate Magicians as well as their ident.i.ties are already known(Guard Bob)

They are?

What about personal information?

Well, I dont know if that concept exists here yet.

So the festival is not only for Gus, but also all of us?

Well then Mei and Ellie nee-chan are OK to go!(Mei)

No such thing!(August)

Gus harshly retorted.

Meis face is getting strange as well

For the time being, I reported about the visits to uncle Dis.(Kaelpie: google turned uncle Dis into DISCO here. lol.)

He said that we will get a long vacation while he contacts the other major powers, and talks through various terms to realize the three-country coalition.

Unlike the small countries we visited this time, it seems that it will take a lot of time to talk with each of the other two major powers.

After reporting to Uncle Dis, eventually we were gathered in Gus room.

I cant partic.i.p.ate in such a big festival!

No way now that our names are known

Me An ordinary town girl(Olivia)

Olivia give it up. There is no ordinary town girl that can slay devils by herself.(Yuri)

If you think about it, its awesome. Were a group where every member can kill devils(Alice)

Punish the devils(Rin)

s.h.i.+n, what happened?(Sicily)

Both this and last time Werent the devils too weak? And I dont just mean their magic.(s.h.i.+n)

I felt that I wrecked the devils both this and last time.

Meaning they were weak compared to Devil Cart.

It was pretty difficult to prevent the magic of a demonized Cart. I took some damage then.(s.h.i.+n)

My hands got burned.

Compared to that The magic of these devils was easy to prevent with magic barriers, their attacks are monotonous, and they have no cooperation. Whats up with that?(s.h.i.+n)

Hmmm Even if you say so, only s.h.i.+n actually faced off against devil Cart, so we cant really know but if s.h.i.+n says so, then I guess its true.(Maria)

Actually the actions of devils dont make sense. Although you can have confidence in your devil power and attack from the front without a strategy at first, but to do it for the second time after failing

Did anyone feel the Stromms magical power?(s.h.i.+n)

I did not feel it(Sicily)

Me neither. If Claude, who is good at that sort of thing, and s.h.i.+n and didnt feel it, that means he wasnt here this time?

Thats right.

What the h.e.l.l? Does Stromm seriously aim for world unification with something like this?

And why is there a difference in strength between devils?

I dont understand. I really dont understand.

Well For now, we have no choice but to react to the devils, but if we can form the coalition we can take the initiative. This will remain mystery until then.

But is that really all it takes? In the small countries around the former empire, as soon as we got in touch, we almost immediately left, but even if it was just for a moment, I saw the situation.

There are not enough people to attack the old empire.

Since the former empires territory basically became a monster nest, its difficult to advance an army with an insufficient number of people.

We would be able to break through with brute force but in the first place if we do that, we still dont know the location of the devils base as Gus said before.

Because the empire was counted in the former four major powers, the territory is ma.s.sive, and if we advanced while searching it thoroughly I cant imagine how long would it take.

They may escape if we dont cooperate with other two major powers and attack in a single stroke with a large army.

Demons are overflowing from the old empire, so many countries have devoted troops to its borders. Thats why we cant attack with full strength.

So now we can only react to the devils actions.

Otherwise we may lose a chance to strike them down forever.

Because of that and my dilemmas, Im waiting for the unions conclusion.

But until the three-country talks are closed, theres nothing to do.

Your Highness, will there be any events happening?(Alice)

Since s.h.i.+n and Claude s engagement announcement party and my swear-in ceremony both ended. There will be no more events like those.(August)

Well I want to go out and have fun!(Alice)

Alice said that we should include fooling around in our future plans.

Since we started the long vacation, we went to a training camp and practiced on devils(Rin)

Thats not fun at all!(Alice)

We went on a trip to other countries.(August)

That was just a necessity for your Highness and s.h.i.+ns errands! I want to go purely for fun! Not for something like that!(Alice)

Certainly we relaxed during training, but I wouldnt say we purely had fun.

Yeah, this vacation certainly didnt have a holiday feeling.

I want to go! I want to go! I want to go out and party somewhere!(Alice)

Alice nee-chan is acting like a child!(Mei)

Ugh! To be told Im acting like a child by Princess Mei(Alice)

Alice got shot down by Mei.

If its like that, wouldnt it be nice to come to my familys territory?(Julius)

Eh! Really? We can go to the Rittenheim Resort?(Alice)

Lets be honest, everyone is stuck on the devil conspiracy, so no one will say anything even if we go to the resort.(Julius)

Cheers erupt because of Julius words.

Is it that amazing? A samurai resort?

Doesnt s.h.i.+n know? The Rittenheim Resort is famous even among aristocrats, so our royal family often goes to Rittenheim for holidays(August)

Yeah, I heard a brief explanation before, but I dont know exactly what its like.(s.h.i.+n)

The resort is located in the mountains and near the ocean! Its very fun!(Alice)

Ah Are the mountains really OK?(Sicily)

Oh, s.h.i.+n, grew up in the mountains

The more time you spend in the mountains, the more you get sick of it

I spent my whole life living in the mountains. So its time for the beach

Lets go to the beach, so s.h.i.+n can enjoy it, too.(Sicily)

Ooh, I get it Sicily(Maria)

Get what?(Sicily)

Well need swimsuits at the beach! Sicily, you just wanted to show your swimsuit to s.h.i.+n didnt you?(Maria)

Oh, thats not what I intended, I just thought that s.h.i.+n would enjoy the beach!(Sicily)

Sicily, thank you.(s.h.i.+n)

s.h.i.+n, you overheard?(Sicily)

Yeah swimsuits Im looking forward to it.(s.h.i.+n)

Enough already!(Maria)

Sicily is so cute, let me just say that much. (Kaelpie:pukes rainbows)

Even though we were supposed to be talking about devils, we were fooling around before I knew it.

I can only react to the devils, and Im tired of wasting my attention on them all the time. The countermeasures are completed for the moment, so I wonder if its ok to take a break now.

It would be nice if someone brought their family, fortunately or unfortunately there were many cancellations due to all this demonic turmoil(Julius)

Thats not good! Isnt it?

I was crying because of Julius though situation.

By the way, there werent parents in the training camp because that was a camp. The trip to foreign countries was more for business rather than relaxation, but what if it was a domestic trip?

This time I will pay for the costs. I want to go purely to have fun, unlike the training camp.(s.h.i.+n)

You dont have to do that(Julius)

Dont worry about it, I can afford it, and you said that there were a lot of cancellations(s.h.i.+n)

Thats true but(Julius)

Julius, I also agree with s.h.i.+ns opinion, this is not for training but purely for fun, so its natural to pay a reasonable compensation.(August)

I can also afford it, because I earned a lot by hunting demons while in training camp!(Alice)

My shops sales have been doing well. I have enough to afford it(Mark)

Its also affordable for me

Everyone seems to have no objection to paying fees.

Ha I understand, but I will have to insist on a discount, otherwise it will be my impossible for me to accept(Julius)

Well, we have a compromise. Oh, Sicily doesnt have to pay. I will cover for her.(s.h.i.+n)

Well, thats nice of you.

I refuse, because the Claude family took care of the training camp for free! At least let me do this much!(Julius)

Even to this, there seems to be no objection.

So, you invited Claudes household as thanks for providing the training camp?

That wasnt much. I just offered my parents territory(Sicily)

Well then, would this count as a gift from your future husband to his wifes family?

Wife(Sicily)

Did it soften her up a bit? (Kaelpie: I think this means Sicily insists on paying for herself)

It will be our engagement celebration.(s.h.i.+n)

Is that okay? Oh, please invite Cecilia and Sylvia as well then. I will be reluctant to celebrate otherwise.(Sicily)

Royce-san too

If its a celebration it is rude to go against your wishes any more than this. I understand. Thank you very much for your kindness.(Julius)

Okay then, shall we decide on a schedule? When will we go and will we fly there?(s.h.i.+n)

Considering the economic effect on the town it would be better to both go and return with carriages.

Oh, Cecil-san said something like that. When will we go then?

Thus we decided to visit Julius family territory. This time we wanted to spend some time preparing, so we decided to leave in three days.

You are going to go visit the Rittenheim Resort?(Merida)

Hou, thats great!(Merlin)

I delivered everyone to their houses with gate because it would generate a lot of fuss if we walked home.

Sicily said she wanted to return to her territory home after greeting the crowd, so when we were done I took her there with Maria. My grandpa and grandma, who seem to have gone back to the hot springs, were there.

We werent having fun since the start of the long vacation, so we decided to go there because Julius says he will give us a discount.(s.h.i.+n)

How the times have changed, students are going on vacations at the Rittenheim Resort(Merlin)

Oh, we can invite our families as well.(Sicily)

You have good friends!(Merlin)
