The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Chapter 245.2

The Eight Song Sages were all wearing dark blue robes and had solemn expressions on their faces.

“They don’t seem to be reacting much.” (Believer A)

“No, look! Their fingertips!” (Believer B)

“…They’re keeping rhythm… lightly bouncing, even picking up the pace a little…” (Believer C)

“The fact that the Eight Song Sages are keeping rhythm… That’s no ordinary occurrence…” (Believer D)

Eventually, one of the Eight Song Sages spoke up.

“Ancient magical language is said to be the words brought forth by the gods themselves.” (Song Sage A)

Then the other Song Sages followed suit.

“Ku-Ikku, though from a foreign teaching, is a marvelous and profound term.” (Song Sage B)

“At times, we rely solely on reason. But reason holds no meaning before the gods. It’s merely something created by mortals.” (Song Sage C)

“This song reminds us of that primal feeling.” (Song Sage D)

“And beyond the term Ku-Ikku, there is a deeper meaning: neighbor. It likely represents not just the relationship between people, but also between nations.” (Song Sage E)

“I agree. Two nations unknown to one another that have never interacted before, always hesitating to open that forbidden gate.” (Song Sage F)

“What appeared to be a hand of evil—was it truly so? No, it was not. It was our clouded vision, our fearful hearts, that transformed that hand into something sinister.” (Song Sage G)

“Yet, they did not fear impurity, and they opened the forbidden gate, stepping through it. Into a realm where entry was never meant to be possible. This marks the beginning of relations between nations. Hence, ‘love thy neighbor.'” (Song Sage H)

“This is the dawn of a new world. That courage, the bravery to unlock the forbidden gate, is a teaching not found in any scripture. Is this the lesson the Demon King is trying to convey to us?” (Song Sage A)

“Just by hearing this song, we can understand the kind of nation he seeks, and what an incredible person he must be.” (Song Sage B)

“Indeed, how fortunate we are. Listening to this music, it’s as if joy wells up from the depths of our hearts. This song is infused with the divine. Perhaps the gods are telling us to let our hearts dance.” (Song Sage C)

This was all nothing short of high praise.

“…As expected of the Eight Song Sages… What deep insight they possess…” (Believer A)

“A song so highly acclaimed by them, it must be just as we felt in our hearts!” (Believer B)

With the approval of the Eight Song Sages, all the believers began to sway their bodies to the rhythm.

“Here we go～～!” (Ellen)

“Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikkuuuuu~♪” (Fangirls)

As the Fan Union sang, the Eight Song Sages, experts in sacred music, responded swiftly.

“Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikkuuuuu~♪” (Song Sages)

The Song Sages repeated the exact same melody, but with a deeper, more powerful voice.

“One more time!”

This time, following the lead of the Eight Song Sages, all the believers raised their voices together.

“Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikkuuuuu~♪” (Believers)

In no time at all, the girls of the Demon King’s Choir had swept the believers in the area into a frenzy.

Though they were lacking in magic power and unable to use significant magic, their voices seemed to resonate deeply within the hearts of the people.

As the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak, the second verse of the song began.

The Eight Song Sages, seated in the front row, spun around to face the congregation.

“Don’t let them in♪” (Fangirls)

“Hah!” (Song Sages)

The Sages thrusted their right fists into the air.

“Don’t let them in♪” (Fangirls)

“Hah!” (Song Sages)

Switching hands, they now delivered a synchronized left straight punch.

“Don’t let them in, for they have the forbidden key♪” (Fangirls)

“”Hah! Hah! Haah!!!” (Song Sages)

Just as you’d expect from the Eight Songs Sages.

In an instant, the top experts in sacred music of this musical nation grasped the essence of the Demon King’s hymn and created a flawless choreography to match.

Their adaptability was unparalleled.

Following the lead of the Song Sages, the believers also stood up.

“Teach us, O Demon King♪” (Fangirls)

“Hah!” (Believers)

All 20,000 believers faced the altar and thrusted their fists in perfect unison.

“What’s this?♪ What’s that?♪”

“Hah, hah!”

“Start with a touch♪”

“Just a gentle touch? That’s no good!♪”

“Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!”

“Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikkuuuuu~♪”

“I’m just a neighbor~♪ Just a mere neighbor~♪”

“Alone and at peace… Or so I thought~♪”

“But before I knew it, something crept closer, what is it~?♪”

“That’s the devil’s hand~♪”

“Hah!”

Their fists ablaze with fiery passion.

“Who are you~♪”

“He’s the Demon King~♪”

“Ah~♪ God told me this~♪”

“Thou shalt love thy neighbor, love them~♪”

“Open your heart~♪ To the forbidden gate~♪”

Switching hands, they thrusted again.

“Oh♪ The Demon Lord said it, yes!♪”

“Love thy neighbor, love thy neighbor!♪”

“Open yourself up♪ To the forbidden gate♪”

“Hah!”

“Oh♪ There lies impurity!♪”

“Hah!”

That miraculous harmony livened up the entire atmosphere.

“No one knows it♪”

“Hah!”

As if breaking through the forbidden gate,

“There lies impurity!♪”

“Hah!”

The two thousand fists of the devout followers, filled with their heartfelt emotions,

“Don’t go in!♪”

“You shouldn’t go in, but that’s no good at all!♪”

“Hah!”

Thrusting, thrusting, thrusting endlessly—

“He’ll tell you everything♪ Everything that’s not in the scriptures♪♪♪”

“Hah, hah, hah, hah! Hah, hah, hah, hah!”

“Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikkuuuuu~♪”

“Oh, God♪ I never knew a world like this existed～～～♪♪♪”

“Hah, Hah! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

As if in celebration, the believers thrusted both fists up toward the sky.

“Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikkuuuuu~♪”

To the Fan Union’s song,

“Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikkuuuuu~♪”

The believers followed, thrusting their arms rhythmically into the air and shouting loudly.

“One more time!♪”

“Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikku, Ku-Ikkuuuuu~♪”

A foreign land with which they had no prior contact.

Yet, music effortlessly transcended national religions.

Ku-Ikku— “It doesn’t make sense, but it’s fun, so who cares!”

As if embodying that very phrase, both the girls of the Demon King’s choir and the devout followers of Jiordal, on the stage of this offering, set aside all reason.

Instead, they wholeheartedly surrendered themselves to the pure joy created by the hymn, letting the overwhelming excitement take over.
