Black Iron Magician

Chapter 553 Celebrating Discharge from the Hospital?

「Shishō, congratulations on your discharge!」

Bam!, Haru, Chinatsu, and Touko opened the door with great force and came in. The timing was perfect, right after Nell’s Wan-nyan Time was over.

「Y-You idiot! It would be unnatural if we knew about Danna’s condition! Ah, Danna is awake! He’s finally recovered! I didn’t know at all! Right, Chinatsu!?」

「Y-Yes! We happened to bump into each other in the corridor over there, and we happened to talk about going to visit Deris-san. We didn’t know that Deris-san was awake! It was really a coincidence! I’m sorry!」

You guys are bad at lying, huh? Well, I noticed that the three of them were waiting behind the door. They were reading the mood while hiding their presence, waiting for the right time to enter the room. …… Well, yeah, entering during Wan-nyan Time is too reckless after all. And Nell didn’t seem to notice the situation outside the room, perhaps because she was excited. But even so, those remarks were too forced, don’t you think? It’s like you are declaring that you were peeping until just now, you know? Even Nell will notice――

「Ara, you three also came to visit Deris? What a coincidence. I just got here too, and Deris woke up just as I came in.」

――Safe!? Is it safe!? Nell, your instinct is usually sharp, but what’s wrong with you today!? Did I pat and rub you too much that you sensor malfunctioned!?

「Phew….」

「I-I see. Haha, what a coincidence…. B-By the way, Deris-san, are your stomach and waist okay? I mean, we attacked you quite extremely during the fight, so….」

「I’m not weak enough for you to worry about me that much. I can’t say I’m fine, but it’s not a big deal. Well, I’ll be fully recovered in two or three days.[

「I see. I’m glad to hear that! Shishō, once you’re fully recovered, let’s continue our fight!」

Yeah, what is my disciple talking about with that smile? Haru, you should learn to be considerate a little more from Chinatsu.

「Hey, we came here to congratulate Danna on being discharged from the hospital, and now you’re asking that? You’re too energetic, you know?」

「Haruna has been like this ever since she recovered, saying that she can’t wait to have a rematch.」

「We even had review meeting of the fight against Danna many times. She was so motivated, saying that she’s going to win next time.」

「I mean, I feel like I’ve become so much stronger. Let’s strike while… err, the iron is hot, was it? Anyway, we will regret it if we don’t do it now!」

「Well, it’s good to be passionate about it, but please consider this old man’s condition. You’re going to kill my waist and scalp.」

「D-Danna’s scalp!? That’s no good, that’s definitely N.G.! Well, I will still love Danna even if he gone bald, but it’s still a no! Haruna, give it a rest! If you prioritize fun things, the you’re going to neglect the others!」

「Ah, that’s certainly a problem! Then, Shishō, I don’t know when the next time will be, but I’m looking forward to it! Until then, I’ll do my best in other things!」

「Y-Yeah….」

Haru was somehow convinced by Touko’s desperate persuasion.

「Well, now I need to find out what the Great Eight Demons think about that battle. Nell, did anything happen while I was sleeping?」

「The evaluation after the trial was excellent. But it seems that they will make the final decision at the meeting. They’ve been on it since yesterday, so I think it should be decided soon.」

「Since yesterday, huh….」

I feel like they will just held an after-party at the meeting place. After that, they will held an after-afterparty, drinking and lazing around―― well, I guess even they won’t go that far. Ha ha ha.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The meeting place where the Great Eight Demons gathered was quite. All the members are sitting in their seats, waiting for the first rank Agalia’s words. No, they are tired of waiting.

「Well, it’s about time. Does everyone have their drinks at hand?」

The one who said so with a solemn expression was Agalia. And in his right hand, there’s a cup filled with clear liquid.

「Umu. Mine is potato.」

「As for me, it’s wine~ ♪」

「I will try muscat next. Of course, the purity is 100%.」

「Fuhaha! I have my own drink. The details are top secret, so I can’t tell you!」

「I’m gonna drink this barley product that my company made~」

「Whiskey.」

「U-Ugh…. W-Water…!」

「Oh, as expected of the king of the sea Hund-kun. To think that you keep drinking water…. I can’t imitate it at all~. By the way, mine is called 『God Slayer』, a very expensive liquor from the East. If you drink it habitually, you’ll go bankrupt!」

「A-Are we still going to drink…!?」

「Of course! Now is the time for us to rise!」

The Great Eight Demons, other than Hund, gallantly stood up from their seats.

「We’re entering the fourth party to celebrate the breakthrough of trials for the first time in history! Cheers! Love and Peace!」

「「「「「「Love and Peace! Yaay! 」」」」」」

The Great Demon Kings raised a toast in unison. With liquor in their dominant hand and snacks in the opposite hand, they are all ready to party.

「…… What the hell are you guys doing?」

「Oh, here comes today’s protagonist!」

「Goshujin-sama, are you okay!? This faithful servant of yours was very worried!」

The one who came to the meeting place in the middle of such a party was Deris, who just woke up not long ago. Lilyvia quickly rushed to Deris, who was making an exasperated expression. Even though the other Great Demon Kings are all present, she easily changed from her Great Demon King mode to the Useless Maid in Love mode. However, she still has a glass of whiskey in her hand.

「Lily, what’s that in your hand? Hmm? Can you tell me?」

「Eh, hand…? Hah!? N-No, it’s not like how it looks! This isn’t mine! I prepared it so that I could give it to Goshujin-sama! I’ve only taken a sip, don’t worry!」

「I see. Is there a maid in the world who would take a sip of the liquor that was supposed to be prepared for her master?」

「There’s one here!」

「………」

As expected of a useless maid, she’s shameless.

「And just now, I could heard you guys yelling 『Yaay!』 in the hallway, you know?」

「The guys other than me said that~. They are terrible that they were having fun even though Goshujin-sama was in a dangerous state!」

「Eh~, I thought I heard it coming from Lily-chan’s mouth too~」

「Jeez, Mama, don’t say anything strange. You were just mishearing things. I was just thinking about Goshujin-sama’s health. Maybe what you heard was Hund’s voice. His seat is next to mine, so it can’t be helped if you’re mistaken.」

「What a lame excuse~. By the way, Lily-han, wouldn’t you be more shocked if someone mistook your voice for Hund-han’s?」

「I’m sorry, Goshujin-sama! I did say yay!」

「D-Don’t shout too loud…. It echoes in my head…!」

Hund is still having a hangover.
