Hello there! Thanks for checking out this chapter!
We haven’t gotten an actual part timer yet, but my boss said that someone will be coming today, so depending on how it goes, we might get a new part-timer! I’ll have more time to write if the new person gets hired, but no promises!
Enjoy the chapter, and remember to leave some comments!
Chapter 14
A few days have gone by since Malaixa started being friends with Lemir and his group. Of course, this was a pretense, but nobody but Malaixa herself knew that.
They also started going home together, splitting only when they have to go separate directions. Arata still had not gotten used to looking directly at Malaixa, but he was able to have a short conversation with her. He has also gotten used to looking at other girls.
However, rumours circulate quickly, especially the completely absurd ones, in an environment like a school…
=================================================================================
Lemir was currently heading to school in the morning. While his height of 1.75m may not be out of place for someone in a middle school, it certainly was out of place when that particular someone was a freshman who entered middle school only a few days ago. Thus, people were once again avoiding him, while whispering to their friends that they had met up with.
Random Male Student A [Japanese] : “Hey, do you see that tall guy?”
Random Male Student B [Japanese] : “Yeah, what about it?”
Random Male Student A [Japanese] : “That’s Nikado Lemir. I heard that he is just a freshman.”
Random Male Student B [Japanese] : “What?! Someone that tall?!”
Random Male Student A [Japanese] : “Yeah. Scary, right? What do you even eat in order to get that tall at 13 years old?”
Random Male Student B [Japanese] : “Come to think of it, wasn’t there this rumour about how a really tall freshman, in his first week of school, told his classmates that all girls in the class belong to him?”
Random Male Student A [Japanese] : “Yeah… Though from what I heard, he didn’t say it himself. He told one of his underlings to tell everyone about it…”
Random Male Student B [Japanese] : “So after he has had his “fun”, he passes the “toy” to his underling? How terrifying… A real demon lord…”
Random Male Student A [Japanese] : “The “Demon Lord of the Night”…”
Conversations similar to this was happening all around Lemir, and he could actually hear some of them. “Demon Lord of the Night…? Really?”, Lemir sighed in his mind while thinking about the weird names they are giving him. He also thought about the irony where he was the one to kill a demon lord in his past life. Soon, he reached the school.
==================================================================================
When Lemir got to his classroom, he could see that Luke and Arata had arrived and were already chatting. When they saw Lemir enter the classroom, they beckoned to him.
Luke [Japanese] : “Yo, Demon Lord of the Night! What might your “underlings” do for you today, my lord?”
When Luke said that, Arata was trying to hold in his laughter. “At least Arata has recovered”, he thought. Then he replied to Luke’s teasing.
Lemir [Japanese] : “Don’t call me that. In the first place, everything is your fault, you know? Now we’ve dragged our entire class down.”
Luke [Japanese] : “I know, I know. I’ve already clarified it with our class and most of the classes in our grade. As for our seniors, I can’t do much about it.”
Lemir let out a sigh at this, and then Malaixa entered the class. They beckoned to her and she waved back before walking towards them with a smile.
Malaixa [Japanese] : “Good morning, everyone.”
Lemir, Luke and Arata returned the greetings. They started chatting and talked about the rumours.
Lemir [Japanese] : “Hey, have you heard the rumours?”
Malaixa [Japanese] : “Hmm? About how you are being called the “Demon Lord of the Night” by the upperclassmen?”
Lemir [Japanese] : “Umm, yeah. Are you alright?”
Malaixa [Japanese] : “Yeah, I’m fine. I’m not really affected by the rumours or anything, so you don’t have to worry.”
Lemir [Japanese] : “That’s good…”
Lemir relaxed when he heard that she wasn’t affected by the rumours. Luke just smiled as he was thinking that his best friend made some progress with the girl he likes. Arata, on the other hand, still hasn’t completely gotten used to her presence.
Soon, they went into another topic, but suddenly the door to the classroom opened and the class went silent. A girl with blonde hair was standing there, although the reason why they suddenly went silent was not because the door was suddenly opened, or because the girl had blonde hair.
The girl with blonde hair was wearing a white eyepatch with a strange design on it, as though it was mimicking a magic circle. Lemir and Malaixa noticed that it looked extremely similar to a magic circle meant for sealing things back in their previous life.
The girl also had some bandages wrapped around her head, obscuring her face, but no signs of injuries can be seen. At the same time, she was wearing white gloves with a similar magic circle on them. On her neck, a choker with an elaborate design can also be seen. Finally, she was wearing an armband that reads “Disciplinary Committee”.
All of these points out the fact that she is suffering from “chuunibyou”, and a severe case as well. While the armband may give her some credibility, everything else about her screams “I’m suffering from chuunibyou!”, although Lemir and Malaixa don’t know that.
Chuunibyou Girl [Japanese] : “Fuhahaha! There you are, Demon Lord of the Night! I knew you would come one day! It has always been my destiny to defeat you, and now you finally appear before me! Remember my name, Golden Basilisk of Death Touch, for I will be the one to defeat you!”
Immediately after saying this, she charged at Lemir. Lemir was momentarily surprised, partly due to the fact that she gave such a crazy introduction, and also because she was rather fast. Lemir, having practiced martial arts, was barely able to respond due to her speed. Lemir decided to dodge to the side where most of his classmates were not at, so as to not drag anyone else into it.

Golden Basilisk of Death Touch [Japanese] : “As expected of the Demon Lord of the Night! You avoided my first attack! Now, take this!”
Lemir [Japanese] : “Wai… “
Lemir did not have the chance to speak, as a kick was coming to his head. He avoided the kick, but a punch soon came as a follow up. He blocked the punch, but a head-butt was coming for him. He immediately decided to put some distance between them, and successfully did so.
Golden Basilisk of Death Touch [Japanese] : “Fufufu, as expected of the Demon Lord of the Night! It seems I must take off my gloves in order to defeat yo…”
As Golden Basilisk of Death Touch was about to take off her gloves, someone hit her from behind. It was another girl, who had the same armband that read “Disciplinary Committee” as well.
Girl from Disciplinary Committee [Japanese] : “Cut it out, Li Mi Er! We never told you to attack him!”
Golden Basilisk of Death Touch [Japanese] : “Yes…”
Golden Basilisk of Death Touch was holding her head where she was hit with teary eyes. It seems that it really hurt when she was hit by the other girl.
Girl from Disciplinary Committee [Japanese] : “Sorry, Nikado-kun. We couldn’t keep her under control after she heard the rumours. I am Chigusa Chihiro. This girl suffering from “Chuunibyou” here is Li Mi Er. We’re both 2nd year students. Nice to meet you.”
Mi Er [Japanese] : “Wha… I said my name is Golden Basilisk of Death Touch! Don’t anyhow give people my old na…”
Mi Er was hit again. Lemir, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but be a bit shocked. After all, it was an abnormal situation that he was suddenly thrust into. However, he still introduced himself.
Lemir [Japanese] : “Erm, I am Nikado Lemir. Nice to meet you, senpai…”
Chihiro [Japanese] : “Okay, Nikado-kun. I need you to come with me. Please bring Velmont Luke, Jasaki Arata and Kurokami Malaixa with you.”
Hearing this, among the three who were mentioned, two people shuddered. But the three of them still stood up to follow Chihiro. Together with Mi Er and Lemir, the 6 of them made their way to the Disciplinary Committee room.
==================================================================================
On the way there, Lemir had recalled the name of his attacker. “Li Mi Er… what a familiar name… seeing as a God could be messing with me, I should assume this is the same Mi’er I know…”, he thought. Soon, they reached their destination.
Chihiro knocked on the door, and the 6 of them heard someone saying “Come in” from inside. The door was opened, and they entered the Disciplinary Committee room. There was another 3 people in the room. Chihiro introduced them.
Chihiro [Japanese] : “Okay, let me introduce everyone. These 2 are Kitagaki Kimura and Fujisaki Fushimi. They are both 2nd year members of the Disciplinary Committee, as you all know. The chief is over there, Yamazaki Yamagi, a 3rd year. I know, it’s strange how everyone’s first kanji in our first and last name sound the same except Mi Er, but don’t worry about it, alright? Also, I’m the vice-president of the committee; Mi Er is just a regular member too.”
After introducing the committee members, Lemir and his group introduced themselves. They then moved on to why the four of them were brought to this room.
Yamagi [Japanese] : “Alright, so I assume everyone here has heard of the rumours originating from Nikado-kun’s class, right? Today, we are here to help clarify it to the students.”
Fuhimi [Japanese] : “I heard one of you managed to settle the rumours for most of the freshmen, right? Thanks for that.”
Luke [Japanese] : “You’re welcome, Fushimi-senpai.”
Luke didn’t miss the chance to improve their view of him, especially when it came to a female upperclassman. But it all came crashing down with Arata’s next line.
Arata [Japanese] : “Though the rumours were also started due to your actions…”
Luke [Japanese] : “True… well… sorry about that.”
Kimura [Japanese] : “Well… regardless of that, we just need to announce that the rumours are false, right? Things should be settled like that.”
Yamagi [Japanese] : “Yes, we’ll announce it later. However, I still want to know how the rumour started. Could one of you explain, please?”
Lemir was going to explain the situation back then, but Malaixa stopped him and said she will explain instead. It was a short explanation, as she cut short the front part before she got involved, but it was accepted nonetheless.
They were then allowed to go back to their class, as homeroom was about to start. But Mi Er, who had been silent all this time, stopped them. She took off her bandages which revealed her face and as expected, Lemir recognized her as Mi’er, a dear friend from his previous life.
Mi Er [Japanese] : “I don’t accept this! Demon Lord of the Night! You may have escaped this time, but next time, I will take you down…! Somehow…!”
Mi Er left the room with a blushed face, and Lemir was just confused at the situation. Chihiro explained things for him, as well as the three who followed him.
Chihiro [Japanese] : “Ah, don’t mind her. She is just really shy, and is unable to talk to most people without covering her face in some way. Anyway, we’ll keep her under control, so don’t worry.”
Lemir and his group understood, and then they went back to class. As they headed back to class, they heard the announcement saying that the rumours are false, and that Lemir is a normal student.
“With this, the rumours should end”, Lemir thought. What he didn’t know was that another rumour was about to start…
