“Hmm—”

Take a deep breath.

Iris looks so pitiful, it would be too cruel to refuse her. Consent is necessary here. It's a matter of time anyway, so there's nothing wrong with preparing early, hmm.

After silently comforting herself in her heart, Ella took the thing from Iris.

"Um, Iris, could you please stop looking over here for a moment?"

"Eh? Why are you doing this if they're all women?"

Hmm? Is it true that women generally watch each other change clothes? I find it hard to accept this, but wouldn't it seem strange if I didn't do it now? Ah, I had no choice but to do it.

"Never mind."

However, when Ella took off her coat - the sailor suit, and was about to change into the underwear that Iris had given her, she discovered something very serious.

"I-Li-S!"

He pronounced Iris's name word by word, viciously.

In the end, Iris just looked at Ella with an innocent face.

"Eh? What's wrong?"

"I say, you must have done this on purpose!"

Ella showed the piece of cloth that Iris handed her - it was not a magnificent piece, but it was definitely a well-proportioned shape. In other words, no matter how you looked at it, it could not match Ella's flat figure.

"Even if it's just a prank, this is too much!"

“Hahahahahaha, I only just realized now that Ella-chan is truly an idiot, hahahahahaha.”

Iris pointed at Ella and laughed without caring about her temperament.

"If you do that...don't blame me!"

"Ah, stop, stop, stop, I, I won't tease you anymore...hahahaha."

The blush that had faded from her face reappeared, and Ella, angry and embarrassed, pounced directly on Iris, and the two began rolling around in the room covered with high-end carpet.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening in the room.

"Um—eh? Princesses... uh, sorry, my rudeness."

Ai Si, who originally wanted to come in and say something, just glanced at himself who was lying on Iris, and immediately shifted his gaze elsewhere as if to avoid suspicion. After saying something rude, he closed the door directly, and then looked very considerate as he locked the door and left.

Ella twisted her neck stiffly, and the quiet room seemed to be dripping with water.

Looking at herself and Iris, their faces flushed and clothes in disarray, wrestling with each other, Ella's already stiff body felt even stiffer, and she had no idea what to do.

"Um... could you please get up first?"

Elise suggested somewhat awkwardly.

"Hmm...Okay."

"Ahem, anyway, nothing happened here just now. If it's about Ace, Ella-chan will tell you, right?"

"Yeah, absolutely."

"Alright, alright, let's get changed and go to the party. Tonight is Ella-chan's home party."

Standing up from the ground, Iris took out a black long dress from somewhere and handed it to Ella. Then she picked up various decorative props that she also took out from somewhere and began to dress up Ella.

Chapter 60 The Beginning of the Long Summer Vacation

*创世纪6186年7月29日 上午10:00分 至圣学院教学区

The noisy cicada sounds continue tirelessly, and the unique breath of summer is spreading freely in this world.

"Okay, okay, now that we've finished discussing various matters regarding the summer vacation, everyone can leave."

Standing on the podium of the stepped classroom, Yajie put her hands together, instantly quieting the originally noisy room.

Sitting in the last row of the classroom, Ella, wearing the pure white uniform that symbolizes a healer, turned her head and spoke to Lotte, who was listening to Yajie's explanation next to her.

"What are your plans for summer vacation, Lotte?"

"Hmm—I have a plan, but I can't tell Miss Ella, so I'll have Lotte keep it a secret."

Lotte, wearing a light green uniform, responded to Ella with her usual smile, and her light purple twintails swayed with her body.

"What? It's okay to tell me, right?"

It was early morning, but Ella felt she had no strength in her body. She simply lay down on the table, her silky blonde hair becoming messy as she moved.

——Lotte is planning something very mysterious. This is something Ella has known about for a long time, but no matter how Ella asks, Lotte always responds with "It's a secret~". And when Ella asks Lotte to give a general direction so that she can guess, Lotte answers Ella with "It's not a bad thing~".

Now, Lotte remained silent with a smile on her face. Although Ella did not feel unhappy, she could not suppress her curiosity at all.

——What could be the thing that would make Lotte do it even if she had to keep it a secret from me? Ah, I'm getting more and more curious. Hmm, if only I could use a "command"... No, no, Lotte is Lotte. I can't treat her like a slave.

Faced with the feeling as if a kitten was scratching her heart, Ella shook her head, forcibly expelled it, and chose to continue listening to Yajie's explanation on the podium.

"Summer vacation runs from now until mid-September. During this time, the academy will not restrict your movements, so even if you choose to leave the academy, there will be no problem. You just need to report back to the Holy Academy before mid-September. There are also some other things to note..."

A month and a half?... There's absolutely nothing to do during this time. I've paid off my tuition debts, and I still have some money from completing adventure missions, so there's no need to continue working. So, in that case, it's probably best to just stay in the academy's free dorm for a month and a half, right? Hmm, this kind of life really suits me.

In the last mission, "Gathering Ice from the Sacred Valley," Ella earned at least 30 gold coins, and that was the amount she kept. If Ella released the entire iceberg from the storage, the gold she would receive would bankrupt the quest's client. Of course, Ella couldn't possibly do that, as no one normally possessed such a massive transport capacity. And if Ella revealed the storage, it would undoubtedly cause significant trouble, so she decided to exercise due respect.

As for the Lava Lord, when Ella went to the lava cave to pay tribute, she found that the attack magic she cast only trapped the Lava Lord in the petals and did not cause any harm. After lamenting that she was still unable to cast attack magic, Ella released the Lava Lord, and then took Iris to the lava cave with the reason that "since the Lava Lord did not hurt herself in that incident, maybe the Lava Lord itself is actually a harmless creature with intelligence. If so, communicating with the Lava Lord may have a beneficial effect on the academy." Then, accompanied by Ella, Iris found the Lava Lord and communicated with him.

The final result was that the Lava Lord became a member of the instructors of the Holy Academy. As Iris said, "How about trying out the feeling of academy life first, and then talking about life and death?" The Lava Lord was easily convinced - of course, the academy would not let a lava monster run around in the academy, so the Lava Lord stayed in the Holy Canyon, and the academy would rotate students there for training.

Ella remained lying on the table, satisfied with the outcome of everything, and arranged her summer vacation schedule with a satisfied expression on her face.

——It feels so good to stay at home after finishing all the work.

"First of all, the first thing to note is that in order to encourage everyone to study magic, the academy has decided to close the free dormitories. This is to prevent students from taking advantage of the free space and slacking off—"

"ha?"

He opened his mouth slightly and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ayla-san, do you have any comments?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing, Mr. Yajie."

"Is that so? Then, the second thing to note is—"

Without further asking why Ella suddenly screamed, Yajie continued speaking.

—Ahh, my wonderful summer vacation plans are ruined just like that! Damn, the Holy Academy actually thought of this! What a terrifying opponent...

While silently cursing the person who decided this rule, Ella began to worry about the long summer vacation coming up, muttering to herself.

"If the academy dormitories can't be accommodated, then there's nowhere else to go."

"Ms. Ella, have you forgotten what Ai Si said earlier?"

Lotte, who had been sitting upright, suddenly took over the topic.

"Ace? Ah, is that the one that said 'Princess, please return to the Demon Territory during summer vacation'? Going to the Demon Territory isn't a problem, but a Demon Princess? That's a little strange, isn't it?"

"Hmm... yes, those demons have been pestering Miss Ella. They're supposedly protecting her, but it's been scaring off those who want to get to know her, keeping them away."

As if recalling the previous events, Lotte looked at Ella with a wry smile.

Seeing Lotte's wry smile, Ella's expression also became a little bitter, and she felt extremely annoyed as she inserted her fingers into her hair and rubbed it.

"Damn it! Those demons won't leave no matter what I do. I've even pretended to threaten them with a second-tier attack spell, yet they still smile and say things like, 'The Demon King can use second-tier magic at this age, the future of the demons is saved!' Is he a masochist?!"

Whenever Ella thought of the demons who took turns to be on duty beside her day and night, she felt an unbearable headache.

At first, Ella felt flattered by this kind of protection. It was not until about the third day that Ella realized the inconvenience caused by this behavior.

No matter who came near him, these demons would scrutinize them with a wary gaze, as if they were about to be devoured at any moment. Ultimately, no one dared to speak to him. By the end of the semester, he had only made two friends: Luty and Iris. And Luty wasn't even someone he knew at the academy.

As for Elise...

When Ella thought of Iris, her already dizzy head suddenly became even more painful.

At the dance party on the first day after she agreed to Iris's conditions, Iris announced in public without any warning that she was her first friend. As a result, the next day, everyone in the academy who had a good impression of Iris came to her to ask for strategies. Fortunately, the demons helped her keep that group of people out, otherwise Ella would really doubt whether she would use offensive magic because she felt troubled at that time.

Suddenly, I felt a soft touch on my head - probably it was Lotte helping me to restyle my hair.

"Well, those demons are really kind to Miss Ella, right? If Miss Ella doesn't want to become a demon king, how about going to the demon territory during summer vacation and explaining things to the acting demon king named Camisia in person?"

As if to let out all the troublesome thoughts in her heart, Ella exhaled deeply.

"Well, this is the only way. Even when I explained the situation to the demons before, they wouldn't listen. Seriously, how can you choose a king based solely on magic power and appearance? Iris's words about 'the demons are always bullied because they're too stupid' seem to make sense now."

Having said this, Ella suddenly looked up as if she had thought of something.

Wait, could it be that the reason I always feel like my IQ is insufficient is because I'm currently a demon? If I change my profession to a god-man like Iris, would I become smarter?

Uh… no no no, that’s so rude of you to think like that, I’m sorry.

While Ella was silently apologizing in her heart, Yajie, who was wearing a white priest uniform, finished reading out everything. The originally quiet classroom suddenly became noisy, and almost everyone's face showed excitement.

"That concludes the final class meeting of this semester. Everyone, please disband."

"Eh? Is this the end?"

"That's because Miss Ella is too lazy."

Chapter 61 Epilogue

*创世纪6186年7月30日 上午11:34分 至圣学院外圈

Since the territory of the Supreme Saint Academy is extremely vast and there are no sentries or city gates, the entire outer circle of the city wall is almost just a decoration used to demonstrate its strength. At the same time, due to the setting of the portal, people can enter and exit the Supreme Saint Academy from any angle. Therefore, even though it has the economic center of the entire continent, the outskirts of the Supreme Saint Academy seem to have only a few people.

"Lady Elelaya, do you really not need us to accompany you?"

"Well, you should report my trip to the Demon Capital to the acting Demon King, Camisia. Lotte, Nina, and I will be enough for the journey."

Sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage prepared by Iris, Ella waved to Ai Si and his group standing under the carriage.

Since the start of summer vacation yesterday, I've already told Iris, Yajie, and Aisi about my trip to the Demon Territory. Should I be thankful I don't have many friends? It only took me this morning to get everyone informed.

Although Iris really wanted to go to the demon territory with him, she had to give up the idea of ​​accompanying him because she was a member of the God-man tribe, the demon tribe's greatest enemy during the Demon-God War, and she was also the princess of the God-man tribe.

Yajie, however, had given up on the idea of ​​going to the demon tribe, citing the fact that the perpetrators of the recent destruction of the East Church hadn't been apprehended, and as a mentor at the academy, she should continue searching for clues during the summer vacation. She only asked Nina, who had been staying at Yajie's house since she had no place to stay when she arrived at the academy, to accompany her. She was currently waiting for her to bring Nina over, as she had some unfinished business this morning.

As for Ai Si... he was impossible to drive away.

"But……"

"No buts, are you, a man, supposed to squeeze into a carriage filled with girls? Besides, even the noble carriage Iris prepared for you wouldn't be able to accommodate so many of you."

"It's okay. My friends and I can run and follow behind."

The way Ai Si nodded seriously when he said this made Ella not think he was joking at all.

Although Ella knew that Ai Si had good intentions, for her, the otherworldly charm of travel could not be experienced while rushing along like a group. If Ai Si followed her, she would feel like she was letting him down if she didn't hurry up.

Ah...what a trouble.

"So, regardless of whether I'm a demon princess or not, even if I am, I can't stand sitting in a carriage while my guards run after me!"

"This kind of mercy only a king can possess... So, Elelaya-sama is the Demon King, right?!"

Someone among the fellow demons standing behind Ai Si said this, causing all the demons, including Ai Si, to look at Ella with respect.

“Hmm—”

"Um... Ais, Miss Ella actually wants to see the scenery of her hometown during her journey to see if she can regain her memories before being sealed by the One God. If you guys follow her, Ais, won't it prevent Miss Ella from slowly regaining her memories of her time in the Demon Territory?"

When Ella was harassed by Ace's unwavering loyalty, Lotte, also in the driver's seat, came to her rescue. Because this trip was a potentially dangerous one, he had her change into the dress he'd given her in Ryan Town, the "Elf's Tribute," a dress considered impressive even for F.Wing.

After weighing the pros and cons of the matter in his mind, Ai Si chose to back down.

"Is that so... I was inconsiderate. There's nothing I can do about this. However, Lady Elelaya, please be mindful of your own safety. As long as you're within demon territory, simply state your identity as the Demon Queen, and all the demons will offer their utmost loyalty."

"Well, there's definitely no problem with safety. Aisi, you guys should hurry back to the Demon Tribe and tell Camisia about this."

"Yes, I wish the Demon Queen a pleasant journey. Aisi will be leaving now."

Ai Si bowed and waited for Ella to nod in agreement before turning around and leaving with his companions.
