Academy Munchkin Enslaved

Chapter 54

54 – The World Where He Disappeared (3)

Miya’s vision was dark, and after opening her eyes again, she was located in an ominous castle.

A cold, hideous castle that does not feel human warmth.

She followed Camira down the hallway, where footsteps echoed bleakly.

“Here. Where the queen is.”

“Queen… ?”

“Right, my queen. You’ll find out by now anyway. Go in and listen.”

At the end of the joint, walking along the huge door that opened on its own, there was a black throne and Miya’s mother, who was sleeping on it.

“Mom!”

It was nice to see you, but it was also an embarrassing situation.

Her mother, who hadn’t even known if she was alive, was lying calmly and sleeping.

The sight of her drooling and bending her head was the complete opposite of what Miya had been worried about.

“Umm… Miya? I’m here?”

“You’re here! Do you know how much I’ve been worried about you?”

“You know, you know… aaam~”

He was a true person.

Despite having met without knowing each other for the first time in several years, Lilithia was calmly yawning as it was before.

“What the hell happened! Why is Aunt Camira… “

“mmm… our daughter. Will her mom explain it all? In fact, her mother is a succubus queen. It’s a demon.”

“Ehh?”

Lilithia leisurely explained to Miya about the identity of the succubus.

It was clear that it was a very embarrassing and hard-to-believe situation for Miya, but strangely, she did not feel that Lilithia was lying.

Rather, she said that her mother was a succubus queen, and she even made it plausible.

She thought that her own parents, whom she had known as humans, were probably lying to her, but strangely, she did not doubt Lilithia’s words.

On the contrary, for Miya, this was more natural.

“So your mother is a succubus? So what about me?”

“Since you are half human, it is difficult to see you as a demon, right? It’s probably difficult to use magic and mana. The two forces don’t mix. To put it bluntly, it’s correct to see him as a person who can’t use magic for the rest of his life.”

“Huh… “

Even though it was embarrassing, Miya decided to accept it.

Because just by having a brief conversation, she was able to be sure that Lilithia was her mother.

No matter how much she was her succubus queen, it was clear that she was her own mother.

“I see… So what about dad? Where is Dad?”

“… Dad. Dad will be back soon. Mom will bring you.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t worry, we are safe. We’ll see you soon. No, it will take several years… “

“Um… huh.”

This time, something was ambiguous.

But Miya was satisfied with the fact that her father, whom she thought was dead, was also alive.

She’s a succubus, so there must be something wrong with her meeting her father right now.

She just thought so.

“Anyway. You will stay here until the war is over. You don’t know when you’ll die if you stay among humans.”

“But… So, mother, are you trying to destroy humans?”

“Right. To be precise, I’m going to replace all the minions of the Celestial Years now. The human race itself will not disappear.”

Lilithia briefly told Miya about the reconstruction of the world. Just like she did to Ian before.

Miya nodded her head as if she understood.

“Ummm… But what if Mama loses?”

“That’s not going to happen. As long as there is no hero, if he appears, we can never lose. Come to think of it, the hero left the continent. He was a very handsome kid. Did you say hello well?”

“Did you know about Ian?”

“Hasn’t that child saved you from being kidnapped? Then we had a conversation here.”

Lilithia also briefly told her what happened with Ian.

When Ian’s name came out, Miya’s expression hardened rapidly, and Lilithia also noticed her expression.

“So… You said to find her mother… “

When she heard the story, Miya could see that it was actually her Ian who said it out of concern for her.

That he did not marry the princess because he sincerely wanted it, and that he was the most grateful person in this world. That it was all sincere.

She was a comfort to Miya, but the fact that she would never see him in her entire life still hurt Miya.

“Looks like it didn’t go well. Her mom was so happy that our daughter asked for such a nice guy. But. She may never meet again in her lifetime, so it must have been bad to leave room.”

“Mom, did she expect Ian to leave?”

“To some extent. She didn’t expect to go this fast. Because this hero has a great talent for magic. When he reaches the highest level, he can even cross dimensions. He tried to seduce me to the side of the demons, but I thought it could be because his eyes were in a completely different place.”

“Then is it possible to use magic to come back here from the other side?”

“Well… It’s hard unless I summon him here. In that dimension, mana probably doesn’t exist, so it’s hard to come over voluntarily. It will take a long time to use the hero summoning magic again. It will probably be difficult before the war is over. When the war is over, there will be no reason for humans to use large-scale magic.”

“Then you will never see Ian again… “

There was hope for a moment, but soon Miya’s expression darkened again.

But at the same time, Ian was understood.

Considering the treatment he received here, he must have wanted to return to his hometown.

“Anyway, so you are here too from now on. Because the human side has little chance of winning now. Of course, it’s okay to wander around a little before the war starts in earnest.”

“… Okay.”

Miya quietly decided to follow her mother’s words.

I would like to see some of my friends at the academy, but he said it was okay to go out once in a while.

And to be honest, now that Ian is gone, Miya didn’t really want to laugh and chat with other people.

And anyway, when the demon king manifests and the war reaches its end, everything will become meaningless.

Miya didn’t want to die in the midst of war by standing on the side of humans.

“… Are you sorry mom?”

Lilithia approached Miya, who was lowering her head, and hugged her tightly.

Actually, she had nothing to be sorry for, but as her mother, she said it naturally.

“No… Thanks mom.”

It wasn’t Lilithia’s fault that Ian left her. No, rather, it was the fault of humans.

She thought that this side might be better for Miya.

She didn’t have very good feelings for humans either.

Maybe she’d rather be glad of this.

Miya thought so, and she started her life in the Demon King’s Army.

Time passed quickly.

After the hero, Ian, disappeared from this world, year after year the invasion of demons and demons only got worse.

Human defense gradually began to reach its limits, and eventually, villages and countries began to disappear due to the attacks of demons.

More demons and demon leaders came over to the Demon Castle.

Unlike the empty castle that Miya first came to, now it has become quite noisy.

Although they say they are demons, in fact they are also personalities with personalities.

Only their appearance was different, but they also had a human side, so Miya blended well with them.

“Mom. I will go to the kingdom I will meet Lorraine.”

“Yes. Come without delay~ I will tell Camira.”

“Yes.”

A conversation like just telling her mother that her daughter is going to play.

There was nothing strange about this alone, but considering the fact that her mother is a succubus queen and her daughter goes to play in a human area, it was a very strange conversation.

Miya, belonging to the US Royal Army, going to her empire was enough to make her demons anxious and suspicious, but she didn’t stop anyone.

Anyway, Kamira will continue to follow Miya as she roams among humans, and Miya has never passed information about her demons to humans.

She’s really just going to visit her friend.

She knew that she was her human, so she was cared for by Lilithia.

It could be seen that there was trust between her mother and daughter.

In the first place, Miya also had no intention of betraying the demons.

She just because she needs time to see her old friend once in a while and heal her broken heart because of Ian.

It was for that reason that she sometimes went to see Lorraine.

Because she was the only human friend who shared the same pain.

Miya didn’t want to think about complicated things like war, and Lorraine also stayed in the Mage Tower every day to study something, but she wasn’t interested in the war happening outside.

Because she knew that, there was a reason why Lilithia also allowed her to meet Lorraine.

Of course, if she does her crap, she’ll stop right away.

“Lorraine!”

“Miya!”

When Miya said she was a commoner, the difference in social status between the two was far, but the two did not care about that.

At the academy, it’s like asking for learning regardless of status. The two of them had known each other since their academy days, so it might have been a lingering habit.

Maybe they were able to be closer because they share the same memories.

“How are you?”

“All right. Rather, let’s go in. I have something to say.”

“Huh?”

Unlike usual, who was always gloomy and tired, Lorraine looked very lively today.

As if watching the old academy days.

Miya was guided by Lorraine into the Mother Cafe, where she quickly ordered a drink and sat down.

“It’s a really big deal these days. Here and there. Is the magic tower okay?”

“Then it’s okay. Perhaps the safest place in the event of a war would be the mage towers.”

Hororok

Lorraine continued to lose focus on the conversation and seemed to be thinking about something in her mind.

“What’s going on?”
