7th Demon Prince Jilbagias' Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling
Chapter 147.1 - 『Oddball』

Chapter 147.1 - 『Oddball』

――Training with his highness Jilbagias was really tough, so tough that I was on the verge of death by the end of training.

Though Alvar Auril had also trained in the way of the spear like the other members of the demon race, this was the first time he received training in which he used his stamina and resilience until the limit.

The training wasn't simply tough, being beaten so thoroughly by the 5-year-old (or so it was supposed to be} demon prince, Jilbagias along with his mother and grandmother broke the heart of the Night siblings, the reason they keep sticking without giving up was――

「Ymmy~!!」

Because they could eat barbeque at the end of each training session.

Being personally healed by His Highness, leaving my body without a single scratch, and all that was left after that was eating yummy meat.

At first, I was surprised by how delicious the field rations of the demon prince was―― But according to that scary hag of a teacher(Gorillacia), the meal was made to be delicious to maintain motivation and raise solidarity.

『You guys are lucky!』

Said Gorillacia to Alvar Auril and co with a smile on her face, as she ate the grilled meat in her hand.

『Being able to eat something this delicious on the battlefield is a privilege guaranteed only to those serving the royal family』

Since Alvar Auril had also experienced a battlefield before, he was well aware of this fact. The normal field ration and camp meal was far more modest.

Rather,

（It's rare to be able to eat such delicious meat~）

Alvar Auril revealed an expression of supreme bliss as he took a bite of the juicy sausage with herbs.

The demon race was regarded as noble in the Demon Kingdom.

What would be considered as 『Noble』 in other countries was limited to the royal family, family patriarch, or a few large landowners, the rest was commoners. At least, that was the impression Alvar Auril got from reading several books about humans.

As for how the general population of the demon race lived their life, they mainly received wages from the Demon Kingdom based on their peerage.

Furthermore, depending on their performance on the battlefield, they may receive additional rewards. If they belong to the Reiju clan, they could also earn a certain amount of additional income through healing services that utilize their transpose magic.

Even those with low peerage may engage in agriculture if they own large tracts of land. Of course, it was rare for them to cultivate the fields themselves—the actual work was typically left to beastfolk.

In short, they need to work to make a living. If a single man wants to live a modest life, a baron's salary would be enough, but if he needs to support a family, it would be tough unless he earns at least a viscount's salary.

If they had a big family, or wanted to eat something a little more luxurious, or equip themselves with high-quality weapons…

They had to attain even higher peerage.

To achieve that, they need to raise military achievements on the battlefield. That was the reason why the demons were all seeking opportunities to participate in the war.

「Eat, eat more… Ah, is there some left over of that meat? Please wrap it for me like usual.」

「As you wish.」

After he confirmed that everyone had eaten their fill, Alvar Auril called out to the maid who was tidying up the leftover food. She gave him a polite bow, her expression as stoic as that of a night elf, but the cold look she directed at him, as if thinking "Another take-home? You're such a greedy man," was probably not just his imagination.

However, Alvar Auril didn’t care about such a thing. After all, it was none other than prince Jilbagias and duchess Platyfia who silently approved of it. Being able to boldly do things that normal demons would avoid out of concern for appearances was one of Alvar Auril’s strengths.

His pact with 【Unrestrained Devil】 manifested―― Rather, he felt that his strength became stronger as he received the criticizing gaze from the maid.

「Thank you for the hard work!」

「Thank you for the hard work!」

He went home along with his little brothers while being seen off by Jilbagias.

「Man, today is another harsh training, big bro! But as tough as it was, I can feel myself improving!」

Seyrey Night spoke cheerfully while holding a glittering spear in his hand.

「That’s right! There’s no doubt we've become stronger. Just being able to receive such serious training is something we should be grateful for!」

Alvar Auril nodded in agreement. With Jilbagias offering unlimited healing and the chance to learn the combat techniques of the Dothrotos clan in a live combat setting, this might be the best environment in the current Reiju territory.

Alvar Auril once again expressed his gratitude for the fortunate opportunity to serve under Jilbagias.

「Indeed. However, even after 100 years of training, I still don’t feel like I could ever surpass His Highness, madam, or the instructor! 」

Okke Night playfully chimed in with a teasing tone. Though it sounded like a joke, there was a hint of frustration in his voice.

「Well… The instructors are veteran, so we might be able to defeat them after we gain more experience.」

They had been walking for quite a while, but Alvar Auril lowered his voice, sensing the roar of Gorillacia coming from behind.

「As for His Highness, we’ll probably be the ones who bite the dust before him! I don’t see how we’d ever win against him!」

「My thought exactly, I mean, he's so damn strong…」

「Well, he's the grandson of the instructor after all…」

「And son of madam and His Majesty the Demon King…」

When they put it into words, they realize that their master, Jilbagias was truly a thoroughbred of the full-power bloodline that couldn’t possibly become weak.

「Haha, His Highness is seriously amazing! If we stay under his wings, we might eventually become a big shot before we know it!」

「… Yeah!」

「Let's do our best!」

Alvar Auril and co were encouraging each other to boost their spirit.

In the meantime, they made their way from the training ground to the city.

「Here you go, your share.」

He took out the bundles of meat he had separated from his pocket and handed them to the other Night siblings.

「As expected of our big bro!」

「Thank you as always!」

After bidding farewell to the Night sibling, who joyfully exclaimed, "We got an extra dish for dinner(breakfast)!" Alvar Auril left in a hurry toward his home.

Alvar family's home is located in the corner of the east city on the east side of the town.

This city was originally taken over from the human kingdom's royal capital over 200 years ago, but the old town was considered the "old" town even then.

In short, it was an extremely dilapidated town.

Due to severe aging, some buildings had been rebuilt, but many stone houses from that time still withstood the passage of time, unchanged. Powerful families typically controlled the well-maintained houses and upscale areas. The Auril family, being a branch of a branch of a branch of the Reiju clan, didn't have much of an impressive background or status.

Well, though it was only a member of the clan since being a member of the Reiju clan means that they had the prestigious lineage magic called 【Transpose Curse】.

「I'm ho~me.」

A modest, slightly tilting single-family house. When the front door was opened, it creaked and groaned.

「Welcome back! How's today?」

His mother, who had been sewing in the living room, looked up upon his arrival.

Alvar Auril's family was a family of four composed of him, his father, his mother, and big sister―― Or so it was supposed to be, since his father went to the frontline as a healer, thus there were only three of them now.

「I'm exhausted. I thought I was going to die when the teacher from the Dothrotos clan ripped off my arm.」

Alvar Auril let out a sigh as he rotated his shoulder, and his mother's eye opened wide.

「That must have hurt. It’s tough, but keep doing your best from now on.」

「Of course. I have to become a big shot!」

The mother chuckled in exasperation as her son winked playfully at her.

「And here, some souvenirs.」

「Again? I'm grateful, but I'm afraid that I'll become picky at this rate.」

Alvar Auril handed the wrapped meat to his mother, who eagerly took them to the kitchen’s cool storage area. After watching her retreating figure with a smile, he went upstairs.

「 I'm back, big sister.」

「Welcome back, Alvar」

His big sister, Marinfia, who had almost never left the city, was spinning thread in her room. The girl who turned around and revealed a bright smile upon hearing Alvar's voice was―― Wearing an eye cover.

Alvar Auril's big sister was inherently blind.

Despite being born in the Reiju clan, a clan capable of healing injury.

There was nothing they could do since her blindness was inherent from birth―― She was born without eyes.

No matter how powerful the transpose curse might be, it couldn't restore something that was never there to begin with. Moreover, the demons were a race that valued strength above all else. Typically, an infant born with a congenital handicap would be ‘culled' as soon as the condition was discovered.

However, for her parents, who had long struggled with infertility, Marinfia was their precious, long-awaited daughter. There was no way they could bring themselves to harm their cherished baby.――

Their parents ignored the opposition of their relatives and decided to raise Marinfia.

As if that wasn't enough, they severed their relationship with their noisy relatives, they were prepared to raise her with dignity even if that meant they lost their connection and financial support of their relatives… Thus, Alvar Auril was born a few years after that.

Being raised along with a big sister 『who should be culled』, had a huge influence in forming Alvar Auril's personality――

「I smell something good.」

Marinfia sniffed the smell wafting in the air while raising one of her eyebrows.

「Nice guess, big sis. I brought some sausage back!」

Alvar Auril took another package from his pocket. The content was grilled sausage.

「It's something that you can't get enough of since it's mixed with herb.」

「Wow, it really does smell delicious. Just when I was starting to get peckish.」

Marinfia took a bite of the sausage that she got from Alvar. It had already cooled down by the time Alvar arrived at his home.

「Uhm! Yummy!」
