Chapter 7 – Daughters of the Demon King –

On the other side of the door was a square room with a sense of nostalgia.

A large chalkboard that takes up more than half of one of the four sides of the wall.

Wooden desks and chairs arranged in a neat grid pattern.

Classroom, it’s one room that can only be called that for all intents and purposes.

And around the center of the room, five girls are seated in a row, side by side, as if they’ve been waiting for me.

「These are the Lord’s daughters. These are your new students.」

Rose, who had followed me into the room, pointed towards the five of them with her hand and said it as if it was already a decision that had been made.

The girls stare at me in silence.

One of them is priceless. Another one seems to scorn me. And another one yawns in boredom.

Each of the five have a different color of emotion in their eyes.

「These kids…..」

When I walked through that door, I thought I had done everything I could do to prepare for it.

I thought I had done everything I could to prepare for it, but this was far from unexpected.

In front of these five girls, who have characteristics that are unheard of for humans, I could only watch them in awe.

The girl who seems to be the oldest of the five is sitting on the far left side of the room, this girl with semi-long red hair looks at me intently smiling as she plays with the tips of her wings that sprout from her back like a dragon with her fingertips.

At first glance it may seem like a friendly gaze, but I can clearly see that it contains a color that looks down on you as if you have no value.

Next to her, sitting second from the left, a girl with long dark green hair, she furrows her brows and looks at me with disgust in her eyes, as if she were looking at a dead grease bug she found while cleaning the kitchen.

Two horns sprout from her head and a black tail-like object wriggling next to her body were as eye-catching as the sensual dress that opened wide from her shoulders to her chest and the top part of her large breasts that were exposed with it.

The girl in the middle, with her healthy-looking brown skin and blueish shortcut hair, with ears so long and pointed that they stick out, yawns loudly in boredom as she alternately flaps her legs up and down without even looking at me.

The fourth girl, the one with the brown slightly wavy hair, is looking at me with round eyes that open even wider and sparkle with curiosity.

At first glance, she seems to be the most human-like among them, but two long, sharp fangs shine from her mouth.

But among the five of them, she seem to have the least bad impression of me.

And the fifth one. Only this one’s whole body is wrapped in a robe far larger than her body, so I couldn’t even tell what she looked like at all, but I can tell that she’s directing her gaze with some sort of emotion towards me from within the dark shadow of her robe.

After confirming the appearance of the five people for a moment, I managed to get my severely confused brain to work.

Moving only the neck of my frozen body, I move my gaze to Rose.

「Demons……right?」

I squeezes out my voice, as if asking for help.

Leaving aside the unseen fifth person, all four of the remaining people are not human by any means.

They are definitely demons.

「Yes, these are the daughters of the Demon King Hazaru-sama.」

「I see……ha? Maou?」
(for those for some reason don’t know maou means demon lord/king)
「Yes.」

A short reply.

I take a moment and think about the meaning of those words.

Maou? A lottery?

「The Demon King? That Demon King?」

「Yes, the king of demons.」

「You’re kidding me…..」

Right after I said that――

「This better not be a joke!　How is it possible that this human man will be my educator!?　Rose!!」

The second girl, the girl who had directed her blatant disgust at me, stood up vigorously and said that to Rose, raising her voice at her.

It is clear that the mysterious black object that was moving around was a tail, and when she stood up you can clearly see that it extends from her butt.

「Isuna-sama, this is Hazaru-sama’s will. Please understand.」

「Then I want to see my father!　I’ll appeal directly to him.」

「I’m afraid you can’t do that.」

「Why!」

「It is Hazaru-sama’s will.」

With those words, Rose turns her strong-willed gaze to the second girl called Isuna.

After being told that, Isuna can’t talk back, or she just falls silent in frustration.

「This doesn’t make sense!」

And then she sits down again, her large chest probably shaking as she clicks her tongue loudly.

「Fu~a…., I agree with you, Isuna~. I just don’t understand why we have to listen to a human.」

The third girl, a girl with short-cut hair in the middle, looking languid, said this with a big yawn.

「Ho~, Well, then, I guess that means Isuna and Sun are dropping out.」

Without pause, the child on the far left, who seemed to be the oldest, said this to the two people lined up on the right in a provocative tone of voice.

Isna was the second child, so the third’s name is Sun…..why am I trying to remember these kids’ names…..

I try to restrain myself from acting like I’m still a teacher, but my brain remembers those names on its own.

「Dropping out?　From what?」

「Of course, it’s the fight to be father’s successor.」

「The race for succession?　What does that have to do with this?」

「On the other hand, what’s the use for us to be gathered here in one place…..?　If you can’t read those intentions, Isuna’s not quite there yet.」

The two people next to each other on the left side of the room are arguing with each other, with sparks flying at each other.

While leaving me, the party in question, completely out of the loop.

「Anna-neesan and Isuna-neesan. P-please calm down both of you. It’s not even decided yet….. Besides, I’m sure father wouldn’t be happy if he heard about us fighting……」

Next the fourth child intervened between them in a panic. While the fifth child, with her hood deeply pulled up, is looking somewhere else, seemingly uninterested in anything.

「Fia. From my point of view, you are also a rival to be the successor. This is not the time to be taking it easy.」

「I-I’m not really interested…..」

What is going on in front of us is a fight among sisters that can be found anywhere.

Except it was by a group of girls who were called the daughters of the Demon King.

I can’t follow the story at all as to what the hell is going on.

Someone please explain it to me.

「We’re not getting anywhere!　Rose!　You said today was just a face to face meeting!　Well, then we’re done here, I’m going back to my room!」

Again, Isuna rose from her seat with great vigor and said in a loud voice.

Yes, thank you for your time today. Good night.

Rose said that and bowed to the five people in line, the first one called Isuna, followed by the third one called Sun and her sisters, who in turn walked out of the room.

Only the fourth girl, the one called Fia, bowed to me and Rose as she left.

Then all five of them leave, leaving me and Rose alone in the room.

「You’re going to explain it to me, right?」

「Yes, as long as I can answer.」

So that means there are still some things she can’t answer, well anyways I know what I’m going to ask first.

「This is all a joke, right?」

「No, this is not a joke.」

With a slightly stronger wind blowing and the windows rattling and shaking, Rose turned her pitch-black eyes to me and said clearly.
