So what do I need to prepare for the battle? I am a little bored.

Now in my vein dances the blood of heroine. I don’t know how to play my power.

Eventually I have nothing better to do so I walk to my master's study. I knocked on the door, and then went in.

The master just looked up at me after I came in and went back to reading her book. I walked up to her desk and asked cautiously.

"Master, when I lead the army to the battle?"

I was wondering what it would be like for me to go into battle? Should I shout at chargeing? Although I am very confident in my ability, and I am not worried about something wrong with charging in the front. But then it always feels like I'm not the ultimate weapon of our demon race, just an ordinary vanguard officer.

"Whatever."

The master looked up and gazed at me.

"What do you mean?"

"It's up to you. You can go into the battle whenever it starts."

But how do I go into the battle? If I first observe the situation from the sidelines, how can I rush to the front with the dense crowd when the horn of war comes out?

Besides, will I look too casual? It feels like I don't fit the disciplined style of the army.

"It's okay, because you're strong. It's not good to demand you much on the battlefield."

The master looked at me with great trust.

But I lowered my head a little embarrassed, stared at the tip of my shoe, and suddenly remembered the Ilotia with light wings on her back in my dream.

I lifted my head.

"Master, do I have higher-level abilities?"

If I can fly in the sky, then I don't have to consider the obstacle on the battlefield.

"There is no limit to your ability. Ten layers is just all of the ability I release to you. I have heard of that light wing. It only appeared in the second generation of Ilotia. It should be a magic that you have mastered. I give the ability to unlock your ability. Now you try to see if you can use the light wings."

Just after the master's words fell, a strong feeling of the tenth level swept through the whole body.

But I was curious as to why the master was able to unleash my ability without reciting the spell this time.

"The incantation can be done in my heart. I read the incantation out just to give you a mental preparation."

Looking at the master's serious expression, it turns out that the master has been taking care of me all this time.

Forgot it. I do not ask these unnecessary questions. Now I feel the magic in the body. I search for whether there is a magic composition that will allow me to fly.

In fact, magic is just a general concept. Using magic is like gaining the magic power from your body according to a certain formula. Whether there is that magic depends on whether you remember that formula.

"Found it!"

I looked at my master in surprise, indicating that I did have this magic in my body.

Previously I get used to using damage magic without deliberately feeling any auxiliary magic in my body. So it caused me to completely ignore this light wing magic.

So light wings can grow so easily. I thought I needed some special conditions.

The master smiled faintly, nodding his head.

"Try to see if you can use it."

Driving the magic particles inside my body, I looked directly at my master's red pupils. I wanted to see the look I grew wings through my master’s eyes.

The magic particles continued to emerge from the back, emitting colorful light, and finally formed a light-blue light wings, like the transparent wings of elf in the cartoon. Six light wings inserted behind. There was no special pattern, like the transparent blue glasses, emitting a faint blue light.

Through my master’s eyes, I could see my look. I was really captivated by my current look. Probably the master was willing to be my mirror. The master was lifting his head and staring at me constantly. When I looked such focused eyes, then I lowered my head once again with embarrassed. But I can not help but glance into the master's pupils.

When the master smiled again, I came back to my senses. My cheeks instantly became hot.

"Let's see if you can fly."

The master didn't care about my rudeness.

"Hmm."

Controlling the magic in the light wings, I slowly stirred the wings and started to fly. The feeling was amazing. I felt I was floating due to weightlessness.

Controlling the magic power to let me fall to the ground, I turned the light wings into particles of light and then they dissipated.

"Master, why don't we have flying magic?"

So far, I have not seen any demons use magic to fly in the air.

"Because there is none."

How concise! It meant that no one but me had the formula for flying magic inside. It seems I'm quite special as Ilotia. I wonder how those researchers worked me out. Why didn't they make more Ilotia? It's only 20,000 lives to make an Ilotia.

However, the master did not pay attention to me. She just quietly looked at me, and finally spoke.

"There are no more questions, right?"

"Yes."

Although I still wanted to know the reason the master's attitude towards me has suddenly changed a lot, I did not say it out. Because I knew the master did not answer me, indicating she did not want to answer my questions.

"I won't shut down your ability. You learn to get used to it."

Looking at my master's trusting gaze, I nodded heavily.

I will not use the tenth layer of the ability to escape or resist. I can not disappoint my master.

And I don't want to leave the master now. Staying by her side can make me feel at ease.

"Go out and find a place to get used to your light wings."

"Yes, master, I'll go."

Following the master's gentleness, I tried to use less polite words in the conversation, trying to develop close relationship with the master.

The master had no comment on me. She just nodded.

Receiving the permission, I left the master's study and walked outside.

--------

Walking towards the garden where I often stay, now many people are busy preparing for the war. There are fewer people there, so it is spacious.

But as I approached the entrance to the garden, I heard a lovely female voice.

After all, my ability is not locked up now. So it is better to turn down my hearing sensitivity, otherwise it will be too noisy.

"Enise, ... I have something to say ... Oh my God!"

"Ahem, Enise, I...I...I...I'm too nervous."

What was that person doing? Suddenly I became curious. What is it that keeps her nervous like that?

So I didn’t turn down my hearing sensitivity. I stood outside the door and listened intently. I usually sit on my favorite bench because I can hear the sound clearly.

"Take it easy, take it easy."

The man took a deep breath.

"Well~ I wonder if Enise will like this gift."

Enise? It sounded like a girl's name, and the person who spoke was also a girl.

"This war is different from the previous ones. Are you sure to say it out?"

"Well...why isn't Enise here yet? Ah...did I come too early?"

"Enise is so cute. I wonder what Enise's lips taste like...wow...what the hell am I thinking?"

Hearing this, I probably got it. It turned out to be the familiar scene that someone expresses his or her love to the lover in a secret place. Now that girl was probably waiting nervously, and getting ready for it.

At the same time, it was also confirmed that the party that had not yet arrived was also female, named Enise. After all, how could this cute name be used for a male. So will it be a period of forbidden love?

A little curious...

Ask her, or inspire her?

But would it be too rude to bother her? I don't know when Enise will come? What if I delay her? Or what if I scare her?

"I can do it. I must say it out. I am ready for it, but why has Enise come yet? Well ... I can not be too anxious. Why not wait until lunch time. I can meet her here and then have lunch together."

Have lunch? That's too early.

I think I can ask her. Maybe it’s not bad. Anyway, I’m bored. I can try light wings anytime. And a certain strong sense of curiosity drove me to have a look.

Then I Slowly walked into the garden, and sat on the bench where I always sit.

Surprisingly...she was just a little kid. Oh no, exactly she was a little girl.

No, the lifespan of a demon is very strange. Like the brother and sister before, they look like student from the elementary school , but in fact, they are only two years younger than me.

So I need to change my perceptions.

The girl probably heard me walking so she turned her head with a slightly annoyed expression. But the next instant she became surprised.

I approached the girl, and then she immediately lowered her head, bending and bowing. Her long purple hair was hanging down, and her height just reached my chest. Even if she didn't lower her head, I could see the top of her head, tiny horns growing on it.

Finally there is one shorter than me.

"Lord Ilotia."

Sometime I will forget who I am. Even though I'm the master's slave, there are still plenty of people who show respect to me.

"Um...you are?"

"I am Lumia, an officer under General Heath Relia."

Although this little girl is short, she cannot be underestimated. Being Heath Relia's subordinate can indicate that she has certain strength.

However, in order to gain some information from her, I must develop the close relationship with her.

"Just call me by my name directly. You don’t need to use any polite words."

"Uh...well, Ilotia, why do you come here?"

It’s too rude to ask her about love story directly. So it's better to have the simple conversation first.

"I like to play here."

"Ah...sorry, I...I...I'll get out of here right away."

Looking at Lumia's panicked look, I couldn't help but think that I was so intimidating. In other words, many people are very afraid of me.

"No, you must have something important to do here, right? Can I help you?"

"Uh ... that...I...not really..."

Lumia stammered, her eyes drifted everywhere, and she was clutching something in her hands.

It seems that I put much burden on her due to my coming. To be honest, I just wanted to inspire her.

Then I plunged right in the topic.

"It's to wait for Enise, right?"

"Eh, ... how did you know that?"

"And is she a girl?"

After Lumia nodded her head, she instantly became flustered, and her lips turned pale. She looked full of fear towards me. I couldn't figure out what exactly she was afraid of.

Was she afraid of me breaking them up? Or was she afraid that I would stir the pot?

"Lumia, you can't do it like that. How can you make Enise agree to you in this state?"

"Eh?"

Lumia looked up at me with surprise in her eyes.

In fact I was not too warm-hearted. Helping her just wanted to satisfy my own curiosity, as well as wanting to witness a successful period of lesbianism in the other world.

So coming here is to calm her nerves, only to succeed, not to fail.
