Hearing Bai Zhe's words, although Louise felt both happy and embarrassed by his use of the word "darling," she still retorted to his later words, "Of course I want to resolve this, but there's no way to investigate what happened to me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe revealed his left hand and asked the quiet girl with short, sky-blue hair, "How can it be impossible to find out? Tabasa, you recognize this, right?"
Looking at the words on the back of Bai Zhe's left hand, the girl who was asked the question showed a thoughtful expression. Then she recalled that she had seen this thing when she and the other person were looking through ancient magic.
As her memories became clearer, the girl spoke softly, "Gandalf... is something that only the familiars of the progenitors possessed in legend."
As Tabasa finished speaking, everyone was immediately shocked. After thousands of years of evolution, the progenitor had gradually become a figure similar to a god in the hearts of the people on this continent.
Louise was even more shocked and asked Bai Zhe, "Could Bai Zhe be the familiar of the progenitor?"
Having accepted her identity, the girl obtained Bai Zhe's permission before going to sleep last night to call him by the Demon King's name.
Upon hearing the girl's words, Bai Zhe immediately cursed, "Idiot!"
The demon king's angry curses made the proud girl shrink back, a sense of grievance rising in her heart, but she still patiently waited for him to continue.
As for why Bai Zhe was so angry...
Naturally, it was because he knew that the progenitor Brimir was male. If he were summoned by that progenitor, he would kill him immediately to show that the Demon King's majesty was inviolable!
The Demon King's dignity is such that even his own kind would not submit to him, let alone a human male. Would he expect the other party to serve him?
He doesn't like this kind of food!
Bai Zhe, who had been indulging in a life of pleasure at Yukinoshita's house for more than half a month, has now become even more hypocritical.
At this moment, Chuluk, realizing what was happening, saw the sigh on Bai Zhe's face and quickly explained to Louise:
"His Majesty means that you, Louise, are the same kind of person as the Ancestor, that is..."
Looking at Katon's Churuk, Tabasa kindly added, "He is a user of nothingness."
"A user of nothingness?"
Upon hearing this, Louise's face showed shock again, but the inferiority complex caused by her inability to use magic for many years still made her somewhat unable to believe it.
So much so that after receiving this exciting news, he looked at Bai Zhe for confirmation, and only after receiving the Demon King's confirmation did he show an excited smile.
So that's the identity she's chanting about? No wonder she can't use any of the magic from the other systems; it turns out she didn't find the right direction from the start!
Of course, Bai Zhe prefers to call the 'nothingness' attribute of this world 'ether,' which is the purest attributeless magic in nature. Once developed to a high level, it can be infinitely varied.
At the same time, Siesta, who knew the whole story, let go of Bai Zhe, was no longer afraid, and instead congratulated Louise.
"A Void user just like the legendary progenitor, how amazing, Miss Louise!"
Even Chuluk, who had always been at odds with the girl, congratulated her at this moment.
"Congratulations, Louise."
The girl's nose almost popped out of her head upon hearing this.
"Haha, not at all... I'm still far from good enough."
However, upon seeing this, the Demon King poured cold water on the girl's enthusiasm.
"Does a mere user of nothingness possess the same nobility as my queen?"
Faced with Bai Zhe's words, the girl wanted to refute him, but she couldn't find a way to do so. In the end, she could only stare at him with a cute, angry look.
However, the Demon King's next words brought a sweet smile to the girl's face.
"Now that we know your identity, I'll go find Osman after dinner and see if he knows any magic that you can use."

After dinner, as he had said, Bai Zhe led the girl to the dean's office.
As for Siesta, who is the Demon King's personal maid, she said that she had to go back and make the bed first, otherwise there would be nowhere to sleep at night. If the two of them were not back by the time she finished making the bed, she would go to the headmaster's office to find them.
Upon seeing the visitor, Osman immediately stood up, placed his pipe on the table, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, what brings you here so suddenly?"
"It's Louise's business."
Bai Zhe's words immediately drew Osman's attention to Louise, who was standing behind him.
After pulling the girl to his side, Bai Zhe continued, "She is a user of nothingness, so we came here to see if there is any magic she can use."
Upon hearing this, Osman's old face immediately showed a look of shock.
He never imagined that one day one of his students would become a legendary user of nothingness.
To his dismay, neither he nor the Tristine Magic Academy had any magic available for Void users to learn.
After all, it involves the progenitor, something even magic academies might not be able to access.
He could only apologize to Bai Zhe and Louise.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, although the Tristine Magic Academy is somewhat famous on the continent, it does not accept all magic, and the academy is not qualified to deal with things related to the progenitors."
"However, you might try asking the royal family; perhaps they know something of interest."
After all, the royal families of various countries that have survived to this day are more or less related to the progenitor, so Osman believes that the royal families of various countries may have records of information about users of nothingness.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe, reminded by Osman, finally remembered that the Tristine royal family did indeed possess an ancestral prayer book that allowed Louise to use the powerful void magic—EXPLOSION!
As for why he forgot, it's because it's been too long since he watched the anime Zero no Tsukaima, and when he did watch it, he was focused on the female characters, thus overlooking some details.
After informing Bai Zhe that Louise could contact the royal family, Osman also told Bai Zhe that he had written a letter to inform the girl that she had summoned a king.
"I just wrote to the royal family the day before yesterday to inform them of your arrival in Trieste. I believe they will reply in the next day or two, and soon they will arrange the itinerary and send someone to pay their respects to you."
Bai Zhe glanced at the disappointed expression on Louise's face and then said, "In that case, Louise doesn't need to go to class for the next few days. I want her to help me learn the languages of all the major countries on this continent."
Upon hearing this, Osman smiled ingratiatingly and nodded, "Of course, of course."
But just then, a dispute broke out below the central tower where the three of them were, and the sound of the dispute reached them. Bai Zhe even heard Shesta's voice.
He then said to Louise, "Let's go down and take a look."
"Ah."
The girl nodded happily, and seeing this, Osman picked up his staff and followed behind the two to avoid any unnecessary conflicts that might anger the demon king once they got down there!
Once they reached the bottom, the three of them encountered Longwell with green hair, who was protecting Siesta, who was dressed as a maid, behind him.
Before the two stood a nobleman with a mustache, his face contorted with anger and arrogance.
"Are you sure you want to stop me, Ms. Longwell?"
“Although I don’t want to do this either, Duke Mothulk, Siesta is already serving that king, and your actions will undoubtedly anger him.”
"Ha, a king who came from who-knows-where, summoned here. What status does he have? Who knows if his identity is real or not? Besides, this is Tristine. The words of kings from other countries don't count here."
Because the technology on this continent is still in the medieval era, information transmission is not fast. In addition, Bai Zhe has only been summoned to this world for three days, so the story of the Demon King piercing through a mountain with a single spell is only circulating in the academy.
Otherwise, the royal family wouldn't have sent someone with connections to deliver the message.
Upon arriving at the bottom of the tower, they witnessed the increasingly heated argument between Longwell and Mothulk, which even teetered on the brink of a physical fight.
Louise immediately went to Siesta's side, took her hand, and asked the girl, whose face showed tension and fear, "Siesta, what just happened?"
"Yes, it's this Duke..."
However, before Siesta could finish speaking, the girl was suddenly pulled into Bai Zhe's arms, forcibly interrupting her answer to Louise.
Seeing this, Louise was somewhat displeased with Bai Zhe's sudden behavior.
"Please at least let Siesta finish speaking."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe said coldly, "No need to say more, I roughly know what's going on."
"Although Shesta is just my handmaid, she is also my treasure."
When Louise first saw the Demon King's icy expression, his domineering aura made her close her mouth in fear.
She had never seen this kind of awe-inspiring, all-encompassing presence in her own father, a presence so desolate it left everything in a state of utter desolation.
But Siesta, held in Bai Zhe's arms, felt a sense of security she had never felt before.
Upon seeing Bai Zhe arrive, Longville stopped arguing with him and silently came to Bai Zhe's side.
Meanwhile, Osman, having figured out the cause and effect, thought to himself that things were going badly and wanted to step forward to persuade the duke, who had angered the demon king, to apologize to him.
Unfortunately, Bai Zhe stopped him with one hand, leaving him only able to stand there and sigh.
Immediately, a pair of burning golden eyes lit up in the night, their gaze filled with arrogant killing intent descending upon the nobleman who dared to covet the Demon King's treasure.
Under such gazes, fear instantly gripped Duke Mothulk's heart, making him realize that the being before him was not human.
In a daze, Mothulk saw the terrifying evil dragon standing at the pinnacle of all things, eager to devour all the treasures of the world, and countless ghosts burning in the dragon's flames, screaming and wailing as they rushed towards him, trying to drag this poor wretch into hell.
Driven by fear, Mothulk wanted to beg for mercy, but just as he was about to speak, he heard two words uttered from Bai Zhe's mouth.
"Kneel down."
The next second, an invisible dragon's might shattered Mothulk's leg bones, twisted his spine, and forced him to the ground, prostrating him before the Demon King.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhe's voice rang out again, and he asked everyone present a question.
"Do you know what happened to those who, throughout history, tried to steal treasure from the evil dragon?"
Osman did not answer, but only glanced at Mothulk with pity before looking away; Longwell, the green-haired secretary to the dean, also did not answer, and Louise remained silent.
In the end, only Siesta, held in Bai Zhe's arms, answered the Demon King's question.
"I heard that it was burned to ashes by a dragon."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe lowered his head and pinched the girl's cheek, praising, "That's right, but today I'm going to show you all another ending."
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a gold coin appeared in Bai Zhe's hand and was thrown at Motehuoke's head.
"Greedy one, I bestow upon you the Rhine gold, but you bear the curse of destiny."
This is a curse that Bai Zhe developed using his power, based on the legend of the Rhine Gold Curse.
As Bai Zhe finished speaking, something terrifying happened before Louise and the other three.
Motehuk, a human, swallowed the gold coin in front of him, and then his entire skeleton was twisted and deformed, turning him into a hideous dragon-shaped monster.
Although he distorted the other's appearance, cognition, and instincts, the kind-hearted demon king also preserved his rationality and a portion of his power, making him feel that his blood relatives were no different from ordinary prey, and allowing him to savor the taste of his loved ones with pain and regret.
"Go, devour your blood relatives until the end of your life."
Ouch——
The despicable dragon obeyed the demon king's command, flapped its wings, and flew back the way it had come.
As the abominable dragon departed, a letter fell from its body, bearing the seal of the Tristine royal family.
But Osman now felt that the letter was no longer important. The royal family had to abandon all previous plans and quickly send someone to the academy to meet the Demon King in order to avoid a repeat of the tragedy.

Chapter 51 Louise: I was here first! (Seeking flowers and monthly tickets)
"Humans...turned into dragons!!!"
The sight of a living person being twisted into the likeness of a dragon right before their eyes plunged Louise, Osman, and Longwell into a moment of utter silence.
Half a minute later, the pink-haired girl tugged at the sleeve of Bai Zhe, who was comforting Siesta, and asked him somewhat fearfully, "What did you do? Why did you suddenly turn into a dragon?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe placed one hand on Xie Shita's slender waist and the other on the black-haired girl's head, offering her safety and warmth.
His gaze, following Louise's question, fell upon Louise herself.
The kind-hearted Demon King provided answers to his confused contractor:
"This is one of the powers of my authority. Anyone who covets my treasure will be cursed and transformed into a monstrous dragon that devours the flesh and blood of their own kin."
Hearing Bai Zhe's answer, while marveling at the Demon King's power, Louise couldn't help but worry about him.
"That person was connected to the royal family, after all. If the royal family investigates what you did earlier..."
