……I was originally bad at using the magic that is the expertise of the ones in my family…… I don’t know whether to say I had a bad compatibility with it, but I still can’t get used to spiritual magic seiz-style. I learnt how to use rune-style and gandol-style, but what shocked me the most was that I easily got used to the battle maiden’s offensive magic which is for battle purposes…… Currently, I have become the user with one of the most powerful offensive magic in my family…… Among my family who had been using all three of rune, gandol, and seiz, I was the only irregular one. I did get good compatibility with magic that my family barely used after all…… I was fortunate enough to become a Valkyrie……but the results that I had made are nothing compared to my grandmother during her prime……”
Rossweisse-san confesses that while feeling down. ……She had bad compatibility with magic that had been passed through her family, and instead her talent bloomed in different departments. Sairaorg-san passes through my mind in terms of similar situation, but it must be different since his family has an important role of being the Great King that has an important role in terms of being involved in the Underworld’s politics…… For me who was born in an ordinary family, the inheritance problem is something really difficult since I can’t get the grasp of it. I also learned that she was bad at gathering the hero’s soul during the time when she was a Valkyrie. She had an unlucky situation till she was called by Odin the geezer. But I do feel this was a fate. Maybe it was fated for her to come to the Gremory group that has heavy firepower. The Valkyrie that keeps on learning offensive magic! I can only think that Rias’s fated meeting all depends on that. Rossweisse-san then says while blushing. “……Spellcasters from my family had been good at communicating with the fairies and to use the spiritual magic. However, I was exceptional since I started to learn offensive magic like a sponge……so I started to become brighter than before since I became capable of improving my performance and reserving my energy. My father and mother’s response surpassed that of praising me and instead became astonished.”
I then say it while I scratch my cheek. “B-But you did learn defensive magic when you returned to your homeland before.”
“Yes, that is true…… To put it short, my power has diverted away from that of my family’s. ……I had a vague thought of inheriting my family’s tradition when I was a child and to becoming a Valkyrie just like my grandmother was something that was natural to happen. Those around me also had high expectations for me. But that didn’t happen. What was supposed to happen didn’t happen. ……Even till this day, I don’t even know what to become and what to do. I had a sense of anxiety for my future ahead. So I did the job assigned to me properly and started to take money as a serious matter.”
She had talent. But it wasn’t a talent those around her were hoping for. However, since she was blessed with her ability, she was able to get a job. But she still can’t find the answer of what she really wants to do—. The concern Rossweisse-san has is something that a capable person has. Before I thought she was similar to Sairaorg-san, but I guess the source of it is different. Rossweisse-san continues while putting away the emblem. “……None of my parents, the people of my clan, and my grandmother blamed me, and they still treat me normally. ……My family came to accept my situation right away by saying, “Well, there will be times when a child like her appears among a clan”. That does make me happy……but I may have been able to have a different lifestyle if they even gave me a single criticism. ……No, this lifestyle I’m currently having may be different too……”
Maybe the reason why she became a Devil was because she wanted to have a change. “I really was happy when I was chosen as an escort of Odin-sama. ……He truly was a troublesome person, but I really did feel that it was a job worth doing. ……Though he did leave me behind.”
She was the only one capable of escorting him—this is something I heard afterwards. Rather, Rossweisse-san is the Valkyrie who had the longest duration of being his escort. Because of that, I hear that the other Valkyries are having a hard time. Rossweisse-san looks up and looks back to her life as she sighs. “……I graduated by skipping grades in my home town without enjoying my time of youth, yet I was unable to inherit my family’s emblem. Even though I didn’t make any particular results during my time as a Valkyrie, I was able to become Odin-sama’s escort. ……I came to Japan to escort Odin-sama and became a teacher in the human world after reincarnating to a Devil. ……Looking back again, I really don’t know what I can become and do since I’ve been going around in circles.”
Rossweisse-san laughs to herself. She certainly is going around in circles. There are ups and downs among the rest of the Gremory group members, so it really is a team that has a gathering of those who have some issues. “……I certainly do feel like I need to apologise to my mother. I don’t think I lived up to her expectations……”
Rossweisse-san says that while looking down. ……It really does seem like she feels bad about how she couldn’t inherit her family’s emblem. Rossweisse-san then looks at my face and apologises as if she realised something. “......I’m sorry. I spoke so long about my life to you, Ise-kun…… I try to avoid talking about this even to those close to me…… ……I guess I wanted to share it with someone due to my grandmother’s arrival.”
“No, I don’t mind at all. Instead, it makes me happy because it feels like I came to know more about you, Rossweisse-san.”
Rossweisse-san rarely talks about herself. She did show me the side of her where she loves 100-yen shops and that she can’t handle alcohol much, but she doesn’t talk about herself. This date today seems like it will become a valuable thing. Rossweisse-san then continues while being a bit embarrassed. “I haven’t regretted becoming a Devil you know? The welfare programme of the Devil’s world is structured properly and my salary is very wonderful. The Gremory group is full with good people and the environment I’m currently in is also wonderful. ……Well, the Gremory group is full of surprises since we get dragged into many situations…… But having a lifestyle of being a teacher at Kuou academy is something more worth doing than I originally thought.”
“Is being a teacher fun?”
“Yes, I never thought teaching would be so fun.”
The rating Rossweisse-san gets from the students is high. Rossweisse-san who is a civics teacher is good at teaching and since she narrows the key points for the topic she is teaching, the classes she teaches score high marks in their tests. Furthermore, since her age isn’t that different to the students, she’s receiving popularity as a beautiful foreign teacher.
