Demon Prince 27

Chapter 27. Let’s Build A School 4

"So, I'd like you to accept trainees and interns from Fremlira."

"Yes, understood."

"Oh, you agreed rather easily?"

"We were asked the same thing in Darmdatt yesterday, so I expected it."

The day after taking in trainees from Darmdatt, we were summoned to Fremlira, as expected.

Fremlira had already gathered severe patients and treated them.

"Yuu-san, is it good? This is my favorite cake."

"Yes, it's delicious, Shanza-sama."

"You don't have to be so formal, you can call me Shanza-neesan, you know?"

"No, that would be..."

"Oh? Jun, you can call me Shanza-neesan too, or does it overlap with Lady Arise? Honey works too since I call you Darling."

"No, the stares from the people around us would kill me, so I'll refrain."

Shanza-sama seems unusually excited today.

She seemed serious when we first met, but now she has a bit of a childlike or mischievous side.

"You don't need to worry about others’ stares. Anyway, I'll introduce the trainees. Call Cornelia."

"Yes, ma'am."

The butler leaves and returns with about eight people.

However, the girl at the front, who is likely Cornelia, glares at me intensely. I don't think I did anything wrong.

"Cornelia, that's rude. Stop glaring and greet them."

"...Yes, Sister. I am Cornelia Fremlira. Nice to meet you."

Cornelia greets us reluctantly. She looks about 15 years old with a bob cut and brown hair. Probably a demon.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Jun Elmbarn, and this is my sister Yuu. Pleased to meet you."

"Pleased to meet you."

"Hmph."

She seems to be in a foul mood. Considering she is named Fremlira, she must be Shanza-sama's sister.

"I'm sorry, both of you. This child is my cousin, but don't hesitate to train her strictly. You can even punish her a little if she gets out of line."

"Nee-san!"

"And this is Cornelia’s guard and trainee, Yufa. She’s a reliable childhood friend of ours. If Cornelia does something, you can tell her. I've given Yufa the authority to punish her as well."

"I'm Yufa. Please leave Cornelia-sama to me."

Yufa has short purple hair. She looks about 17. Probably a demon.

"Ugh."

"Cornelia, do you not want to go to Elmbarn? You understand the importance of healing magic training, right?"

"Ugh... I know, but..."

"Then what's your problem?"

"Why do I have to be taught by such a child?"

"You saw Jun use healing magic, didn't you? He healed injuries and illnesses instantly. He’s undoubtedly the best healer among demons."

"But still!"

"And Jun is also my fiancé. How can you..."

"That's what I hate the most!"

"What?"

I understand not wanting to be taught by a child, but hating that he’s Shanza-sama’s fiancé the most?

I have some thoughts about that too since it was decided without my knowledge.

"Why should my beautiful sister be engaged to some nobody?"

"A nobody? Jun is the Demon Prince of Elmbarn. He couldn't have a higher status."

"Ugh... Still, just because he can use healing magic doesn't make him worthy of you!"

"He defeated Gaul-sama of Darmdatt in a duel and won against Arise-sama at the age of eight. He’s undeniably talented."

"Ugh... And someone with such a girly face isn’t fit to be your fiancé!"

That stings. I’m sensitive about that.

"Cornelia, stop it. Insulting the Demon Prince of Elmbarn is unacceptable."

Shanza-sama finally steps in. If someone from another country was here, it would be an international issue.

I wouldn’t go that far though.

"Jun might have a girly face, but he will become a very handsome man when he grows up. I’m looking forward to it, hehe."

"Nee-san..."

I doubt that. I’ve been growing the same way as in my past life, except for my hair color. I don’t expect much to change when I grow up. It’s a bit disheartening.

"Anyway! I will never accept this girly guy as my sister’s fiancé, guff!"

""Oh!""

Yuu had quietly moved next to Cornelia and punched her with a magically enhanced fist. Cornelia’s nose is broken, and she has a terrible nosebleed. She’s already in tears and looks defeated.

"I’ve been listening quietly, but insulting my brother in front of me is like begging to be killed!"

Insults alone don’t warrant that.

But Yuu’s overwhelming presence silences me.

Everyone is intimidated by Yuu’s intensity.

"You, my brother is really sensitive about his girly face! He tries on glasses, changes his hairstyle, and even wears fake mustaches to look manlier, even though he just looks cute! He’s really sensitive about it!"

Stop it, sister.

Your brother is embarrassed.

And you noticed all that?

I wish you had pretended not to know.

Everyone else, who was intimidated by Yuu’s intensity, is now holding back laughter. Shanza-sama is laughing outright.

"And also!"

"Yuu, stop. Calm down."

I don’t want any more embarrassing secrets revealed.

I should have stopped her sooner.

"But brother!"

"Yes, yes. I understand. I’m satisfied that you stood up for me. So calm down."

Though still dissatisfied, Yuu sits down.

Shanza-sama is laughing cheerfully.

Yufa is tending to Cornelia.

"I apologize, Shanza-sama. My sister was out of line."

"It’s fine. Cornelia was at fault, and this will prevent future issues. It was amusing too."

Shanza-sama looks at me with a smile.

Please forget what you just heard.

"But it's a bit cruel for a girl to have a face injury. Can you heal her?"

"Yes, of course. Right away."

It's cruel to leave a girl with a nosebleed. I heal her completely with magic.

"I apologize, Cornelia. My sister was too harsh."

"N-no! I apologize for my rudeness!"

Her earlier attitude is completely gone, and she’s now terrified.

Not of me, but of Yuu behind me.

"Shanza-sama, I’ll take care of the trainees. I’ll do my best."

"Yes, please. I’m counting on you."

After saying goodbye to Shanza-sama, we leave Fremlira.

Hoping nothing strange would happen, I returned home with the worst emotional damage I’ve had in recent days, thanks to my sister.
