Hey, Ard!

Let's go to that one next!

Sure.

Despite appearances,

we're currently patrolling the school.

All because of the threat from Lars al Ghoul.

This frozen dessert is delicious.

Oh, Miss Ireena.

You have some syrup on your cheek.

Huh?

Oh, you're right.

We're just pretending to enjoy the school festival to its fullest.

I want to eat something else, too!

Oh, then come stop by ours!

No, no, ours is putting out way tastier stuff!

It feels like a dream.

I never thought I'd get along with everyone like this.

We certainly aren't just letting ourselves get excited as we go around to attractions.

What's that?!

Hey!

You're acting suspicious!

Now surrender and turn yourself in!

For now, let's go ask the idiot—

No, pardon me, let's go ask Miss Sylphy what's going on.

What are you doing here?

This man is a demon!

I'm sure of it!

No, no, no, I'm not!

Most with eyes like yours are demons!

Lower your sword! Please!

Ah! Lady Olivia! Please help me!

This crazy girl is making baseless accusations

and trying to kill me!

Hey, put the sword away.

He's not a demon.

He's staff at the restaurant I usually go to.

The French fries he cooks up are exquisite,

and I even apprenticed under him for a while.

So I can vouch for his identity.

Exquisite French fries?

Apprenticed?

You were one of my top generals, right?

You went and learned how to fry potatoes?

Just how badly do you love potatoes?

D-Did I go and do it again?

You don't need to join the patrols anymore.

Why don't you go help our class with our attraction?

If you say so, Big Sis.

Good grief.

It always feels strange looking at this tree,

no matter how often I see it.

If I recall, the third king of Laville...

the man known as the Great Sword King

is said to have sealed something special here in this spot.

I doubt I'm the only one who's curious what that something special is.

Yes.

But even Papa said he didn't know.

Even royalty doesn't know?

Lady Olivia, do you know anything about this tree?

I can't discuss this tree, even with you two.

So to put it another way,

it's something that important, then?

Speaking of the Sword King,

one of this school festival's main attractions is the Sword King Battle Tournament.

I've already announced my participation.

Well, well...

Looks like the champion's already been decided, then.

No, it's not yet guaranteed that I'll win.

Because...

you'll be participating, too.

Huh?

I went ahead and submitted the form to announce your participation.

But I'll be performing in the play.

Surely you can do both, right?

Besides, I don't like showing off my power—

Enough!

I don't care about your preferences.

If you won't participate,

then I'll make my own decision and act on a certain matter.

Are you okay with that?

Th-This woman!

I'm looking forward to it.

The Greatest Demon Lord Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody

"The Erotic Maid Café."

I suppose that is very easy to understand,

but couldn't we have gone with a slightly vaguer name for it?

Hey!

Why, you!

You just touched my butt, didn't you?!

A perverted groper deserves to be sentenced to death!

Please let me handle this.

You went too far.

Boo.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

Please don't say such a thing!

Please let us offer you our hospitality!

You should.

A-All right.

Just for a little bit, then.

Welcome back, Master!

What would you like today?

A drink? A meal? Or perhaps... me?

Today, I would recommend me!

Me, too!

No, me!

Pick me instead!

I'd like a drink, please.

One orange juice.

What are you doing?!

All while I was out patrolling?!

I can't leave you alone for one second!

We're providing our service to Master. What of it?

Service?!

Oh, you don't need to force yourself, Miss Ireena.

I can provide service just as well!

Hmm, can you?

Where are you looking?!

I'll handle all the waiting and serving for Ard!

All of you can back off!

That's tyranny, Miss Ireena!

Ardy is everyone's master!

Please, you have to understand that!

That's right, that's right!

Argh, jeez, shut up!

Ard is solely my master!

Everyone, fighting is bad.

So we'll compromise, and I'll serve him for you!

No, Miss Sylphy, we would be grateful if you didn't do anything.

To everyone on campus...

The festival of swordsmanship honoring the spirit of Laville's third king,

the Sword King Battle Tournament, will be starting tomorrow!

For this year's 100th anniversary, the grand prize will be

a replica of his Holy Sword, Vald-Galgulus!

I'm entering!

I was just thinking about entering it, too.

You'll be in it, right, Ard?

Yes. Apparently so.

Huh?

Th-Then maybe I should enter, too.

If I go up against you, Ardy,

please use the match to give me an intimate lesson!

You mean you just want to use it as an excuse to do naughty things, don't you?

Such mistrust again!

That reminds me,

we never did settle our match during the last battle event.

This time, I'll beat you black and blue, so prepare yourself!

Come try me if you can, you horny succubus!

The Holy Sword, Vald-Galgulus...

Big Sis's sword...

Now, that time of year has come once again!

It's the Sword King Battle Tournament!

Contestants can only use sword techniques and enhancement magic.

Though this year, we have three exceptional people partaking in the tournament!

Two of which are attending this very school!

Everyone knows of the children of the Great Heroes!

My heart's racing with anticipation!

And the last one is none other!

Yay!

The living legend! The founder and pinnacle of all swordsmanship!

One of the Top Four Heavenly Kings! Lady Olivia vel Vine!

Is it really her?

They get to challenge that master swordsman?!

Huh? What about me?

Hey, what about me?

Do I not count among those three?

Well, cheer up.

I'm sure something good will happen to you someday.

Sniffle...

Now, the eight strongest contenders who conquer

the preliminary round of the tournament will advance to the final rounds!

I-I yield.

If I lose here, she'll think I lost on purpose.

If I'm going to lose, it should be in the final rounds.

It's the final match of preliminary block eight in the Sword King Battle Tournament!

Once the winner of this match is decided,

we'll have our eight contenders moving on to the finals!

Final match...

That just leaves Ginny.

Her opponent is a favorite to win, alongside Lady Olivia.

Not good. She'll lose, at this rate.

Being anxious will take away even her faint chance to win.

Miss Ginny!

It's still too early in the fight to give up!

Keep your hopes up and face him until the very end!

That's the match!

An unexpected comeback!

The winner is this nameless woman of talent!

Ginny Fin de Salvan!

Ireena, Sylphy,

could you hurry back to our café?

We're short-handed.

Sure.

Of course.

Later, then.

Yes.

Ardy!

You did well.

Yeah.

Huh?

Where are Miss Ireena and Miss Sylphy?

They returned to the café.

Is that so?

Huh?

"The Miss & Mister Beauty Contest"?

I suppose that's all right.

Then, please come with me!

No, I have to patrol.

Lots of people will be at the Miss & Mister Beauty Contest,

so wouldn't that count as patrolling?

Besides, I want you to come watch me, Ardy.

Is that so bad?

A-All right...

She's right.

There are a lot of people here.

Hm?

Where have I...?

Oh yeah, him!

Is he here for Ginny?

Entry number 18! Miss Lilith takes the stage!

Lilly!

Lilith! Lilith! Lilly!

Excuse me, are you by chance...

Mister Elraldo?

Huh?!

I knew it.

Though his appearance has... significantly changed.

I had heard that you were holed up

in your dorm room ever since the commotion around our duel.

I-I haven't done anything wrong!

It's true!

S-So... please don't kill me!

Why are you here?

I-I just came to watch L-L-Lilly.

That's all.

Ah, Lilly...

Now, next up is entry number 19, Miss Ginny!

Ginny's taking the stage?

I see. So she's changed, then.

One could say the same about you.

Ever since that day when she met you,

she's grown stronger and improved things for herself.

Compared to her, I haven't changed at all.

No, you've changed plenty.

Ginny's family has had the duty of serving and protecting my family for generations.

So when we were children,

Ginny was always at my side as my guardian.

But she was always bad at everything she did when she was young.

It made me feel like I had to be the one to protect her instead.

Yet, even though I felt that way, I got frustrated at how slow she was.

So that's why you did what you did?

That wasn't the only reason.

My father was constantly telling me to act like a duke's eldest son.

I was raised being told to think of everyone below royalty as ants.

That was incredibly stressful for me...

So to escape from it, I began insulting and bullying Ginny.

But because of what I've done,

I've left a curse of inferiority on her heart that still hasn't lifted.

It might not mean much to say, coming from me,

but I'm relieved.

Relieved?

Because you beat me back then, she's gained the chance to change.

There's no doubt that her curse is halfway gone now.

So I'm relieved.

Then what about the curse on you?

Think you'll break that curse of guilt and self-loathing?

That's something I'll probably bear for the rest of my life.

I haven't even managed to apologize to her yet.

I need to be able to face her with sincerity, bow my head properly,

and atone for what I've done.

I doubt my curse will be broken until I'm finally able to do that.

But I'm afraid to face her.

I doubt you'd be able to understand these feelings.

That's not true.

I bear a similar burden myself.

I still haven't been able to tell Sylphy about that yet...

I thought you were an unpleasant man who just had it all,

but I guess you've suffered, too?

Looks like the contest's results are already decided.

A guy like me shouldn't stay here any longer.

This year's winners are class 1-C's Miss Ginny and Mister Ard!

So cute!

I wish the guy beside her would die.

Hey!

My, I never thought I'd actually win!

Does this mean I'm actually a little attractive?

More than just a little.

You can hold your head high as the winner today.

I guarantee you that, Miss Ginny.

Though it's not like I have any authority to back that guarantee.

Really?

You really think so?

You truly are a lovely woman.

So have confidence in yourself.

Thank you so much.

I think I might be able to like myself a little more.

Oh! Ginny's back!

Congratulations on winning the contest!

Huh?

What an incredible amount of customers.

It's so full of customers.

Looks like our advertising has already paid off.

You're late—ahh!

I wanted to enter that contest, too!

Not fair!

Now, it's time for the third match!

It's no exaggeration to say this is the real final battle!

The living legend is already facing the number one rookie!

This is what I least wanted to happen.

It's hard to hold back so I don't give myself away.

Shall we play around again, my foolish little brother?!

It would be too unnatural if I lost without doing anything!

Interesting.

Don't die on me now!

Hey, Ardy!

An arena is no place to put on an act!

Not good! She's serious!

Reflect Mega Wall!

You can't do that.

That's against the rules!

Ah, he did it now.

Don't come back again!

Lady Olivia!

Ahh, I went too far...

In the end, I was disqualified for using prohibited magic.

Olivia didn't make it back in time for her match and forfeited.

This next match is between the daughter of the Heroic Baron and our no-name dark horse!

Big Sis!

Do your best out there!

I won't lose to the likes of you!

Don't get full of yourself!

I'll never lose to someone

who dares to monopolize Ardy for herself!

What is this harem nonsense?!

I'm the only one allowed to be with Ard!

If you think of him as more than a friend,

then why don't you just come out and say it?!

Huh? What?

Harem?

What's with this match?

Is Ard the guy from earlier?

Take this seriously!

Will this match end soon?

Please...

The winner is Ireena!

Now we've settled who belongs beside Ard!

Huh? What are you saying?

Just because you won in swordsmanship?

That was a splendid battle, both of you.

You did it, Big Sis!

Anyway, I'll be the one at Ard's side!

Absolutely not!

Good grief.

Nothing is more useless than actors who won't follow their script.

This will cause the outcome to change.

And we can't have that.
