「What’s your impression of the face-to-face meeting today?」
I face Rose from across a desk in a bleak room that looks like it’s used for interrogation.
It seems like I have to have this sort of meeting every day after those girls’ classes are over.
It feels like someplace you’d use to discuss the happenings of the day and whatever happenings of the future, but I also feel a bit of the psychological pressure I feel from the academy.
「It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.」
As expected, every girl seemed to have a unique quirk or two.
Even more so when you take into consideration the huge differences between humans and demons, and even though there are only five people to deal with, it is going to be more difficult than taking on an entire class at the academy.
Rose then asked me more questions, and after receiving the answers, she wrote them down on a piece of paper she had in hand.
The way she writes her letters so beautifully with such a clean posture is so elegant that you can’t help but admire the way she writes it.
「So……who are you going to show that report to? The demon king?」
「No, this is just for me to keep track of what happened today. Don’t worry.」
I got an answer that I didn’t expect.
「What, I thought those were for the higher ups to help assess my salary and progress.」
「It’s not like that, so feel free when you answer my questions.」
There’s a possibility that she may actually be reporting what I say, contrary to what she just told me, but compared to the academy, there’s a limit to what she can hide in this small world.
I’ll report it without hiding anything unless it’s something too much.
「Regarding your salary, we won’t be paying you a fixed amount. If you need something, just let us know and we’ll make it available to you.」
「I see.」
Certainly if I was given money, I wouldn’t be able to spend it in the first place.
Since I’m being provided with food, clothing, and shelter, I don’t have any problems at the moment.
「We will provide you with as much as possible, so please don’t hesitate to ask.」
「Whenever possible?」
「Yes.」
「For example, how much is okay?」
「If it’s a physical object it can be……that’s it……. bone marrow fluid of an ancient dragon for example?」
「I see……….the bone marrow fluid of an ancient dragon……wait what, bone marrow fluid of an ancient dragon!?」
「Yes.」
Rose replies as usual in a matter-of-fact manner, but the bone marrow fluid of an ancient dragon is considered the most valuable magic catalyst in the world.
It’s so expensive that my salary from my time as a teacher at the academy would require me to repeat my life at least ten times to buy a drop of it.
I didn’t expect to be told that such a thing could be prepared so easily, so I’m distraught to the point that I got up from my chair with great vigor.
No, the scale of the story was so blown out of proportion that I almost shook it off, but this is the demon world, and I’m teaching the daughters of the demon king.
Maybe it’s not impossible to manufacture something like that.
「Do you want to see it?」
「N-no, no……its fine, it’s alright……」
I’d like to see it and use it, but I’m not comfortable with the idea of having it prepared simply because of my curiosity.
「So is there anything else you need?」
「Not right now, not really…… I guess.」
I calm myself down, and sit down in the chair again.
Most of the things that would be used in the classroom were already there, and most of the daily necessities were also provided for the room.
It was also prepared far better than the ones I used in my class back then, so there’s nothing in particular that I need right now.
「Understood. Also, one last thing I’d like to talk to you about, as you mentioned earlier, Frey-sama, regarding your progress…..」
With that, Rose unusually collects her next words.
「The ladies will be taking their exams in exactly three months from now.」
「Exams?」
「Yes, the examination will take place in the presence of Hazaru-sama」
「I see, if they don’t perform at a certain level, I’m out of the picture.」
「That’s what I mean. Thank you for being so quick to understand.」
「I’m used to that kind of thing.」
Even when I was in the academy, the grades of the squad I was in charge of were directly related to my evaluation.
However, there was a glass ceiling that I couldn’t see no matter how much I, a commoner, raised my evaluation.
「So what’s the exam? You don’t mean a paper test, right?」
「Yes, it’s nothing of the sort. You are to present to Hazaru-sama what each of them does best in front of him.」
「So what their good at…..」
So that means I have to find their strengths and educate them to develop it.
It’s a coincidence, but I’m glad I explained that when I introduced myself.
「How well they do on that exam will determine my future.」
「It will be.」
This is how we treat each other normally now, but the demon race……is also a deal with the demon king.
If I’m deemed useless after the examination, there’s a good chance I’d be killed.
I won’t blow the wind of cowardice on such matters, but there is no doubt that I need to get even more fired up.
「Three months…..」
That’s a pretty short time period in terms of teaching.
And our relationship didn’t just start from zero, it started from the negative.
Most teachers would have given up the moment they heard it, but I’m excited to face this challenge.
First of all, I’m going to have to do something a little crazy to get them to acknowledge my existence.
