After a short break in my room, I decided to head to the captain's office with Schiff.
I asked the hakuro and the others to take their time in the room, because for now I thought about saying hello to Mr. Lion and Mr. Iris.
"Ah, Lord. Nice to meet you."
"Hello."
"Be the first to see…"
I'm walking down the aisle, and I'm not like the little black animals anymore. I'm not. So it was tough already.
The ship was already flying in the sky, and they were all moving like hell, which was a pretty smiling sight to say.
"Excuse me."
"Oh, you're here. Mr. Kite."
"Couldn't you have taken a little more time off?"
As soon as I enter the captain's office, Mr. Lyon will greet me.
Although he said he seemed to be a temporary captain.
Schiff's brothers in the steering room, who noticed me, begin to blur.
"Yes, yes, calm down. If you stop, you'll lose control of the ship."
"That's how you try to talk to the Lord alone!"
"Oh, that's sloppy!"
"Tyranny!"
"I am your biological parent…?"
What a smiling little animals to raise their voices.
They were black rabbits running the steer with small hands, small animals in tune with Lara, one of whom turns his dissatisfied gaze towards Lara.
"But no more what the chief says"
"No mercy for traitors."
"Micha!?"
"Uh, here. You can't fight."
If they accidentally pinch their voices, the small animals return to each task at once.
"" "I will stop!!" "
"Amazing, you're a good listener..."
Shiv looking slightly pulled.
I guess that means that's all work enthusiasm.
Not long after I woke up, they are amazing kids... I guess they are just like Shiv and Al and very smart.
"That's amazing teamwork. Mr. Lion."
"It's me, the Divine Beast, but you don't just want to defy me. … now I can move more freely than my hands and feet called Merliah…"
?
"Oh, haha."
Mr. Lion, laughing deludedly, stands up after turning his gaze to Mr. Iris, who is standing beside him.
"We are on our way to the Kingdom of Hendil. Mostly, we'll be there in about two days, so I hope you're taking your time."
"Two days...... that's early"
"Huhuhuhuhuhu, we're actually slowing this down because you guys are moving fast enough to be comfortable?"
Were you......
Surely there's no big shake or anything like that at all.
Even so, you'll arrive in two days, because it's so early. Then I have to think ahead.
"I have to report it to Master Jessica..."
"Oh, let me explain to her the details. She's one of the people we know."
"Really?"
"Oh. The Kingdom of Hendil is also a country with deep ties to the Divine Beast."
If so before I came, what kind of divine beast did I have to do with it?
Is it still Meliá?
"But I need to tell you that I'm safe, so it's not gonna change the way I see you."
"That would be better."
Master Jessica will be worried, too.
And how many things do I have to do when I get home?
"Is Mr. Iris ready to meet with the guild chief?"
"Ugh...!? Oh..."
Suddenly, Mr. Iris, who was told the story, gives a surprised look.
First of all, I thought that would be fine if we could take the first step, but it wouldn't do us any good to make them rush weirdly...
"If it's difficult, would you start with a letter or something?"
"No, the..."
"If you say it's too early... I'll keep you posted."
"Stop that...!! In your case, I feel like it's going to create an unacceptable misunderstanding...!!"
Is that right?
I lean my neck against Mr. Iris, who has said that in a desperate manner inside.
"I don't know what to say... I don't know what to tell you."
... We'll be discussing this as a family for over a decade, so naturally we won't know what to talk about.
Fortunately, there will be no bad feelings for each other's perception.
"If you don't know what to talk about, maybe if someone were to be present with you, you could break some tension, too."
"Oh well...?"
"Yes."
Nodding to Mr. Illis.
Two more than one.
"I'm Mr. Verse, and Nea and Reefa are here to support you."
"I'm sorry. I'm only anxious about my support...!!"
"Well, ask Chisato --"
"I'm not really involved, but she shows more signs of sucking than Nea, so stop it!"
That's all they say, Chisato. Awesome......
I've been putting out a lot of vegetables lately and I'm supposed to have a hell of a taste for words though.
"I can count on you a lot. You've been joking a lot lately."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Huh?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
When I turn around, Mr. Lion gives me that back as usual.
"Speaking of which, where is Merliah on this ship?"
"What's wrong with me?"
Answer Melia standing next to you at some point.
"Oh, where are you usually on the ship?"
"We use one of the rooms on board. We'll take a look at the fold and show you around."
"It is."
"Yeah, it is. Huhuhuhu."
Does that mean Melia lives in a room the same way?
She disappeared again in the blink of an eye. I turn again to Mr. Lion and Mr. Iris.
"Apparently."
"Aren't you accepting too much...?"
"Isn't that quicker to accept than pure demon magic...?"
It doesn't bother me if I get used to it.
I don't feel gaze except when I need it.
"Then I'll see Mao next. You're in the workshop, right?"
"Oh, because that kid likes to be touching the devil. You should go see him."
Hendill, there's still time to get to the kingdom, and I need to talk to that kid.
Walk out of the steering room and straight down the aisle to the tool room where Mao is located.
"Ah, Mr. Kite."
"Nea, I woke up from my nap."
"Will you stop saying nap?"
I run into Nea in the aisle.
I guess my sleeping habits stayed the same or I took a nap until earlier.
In the meantime, I will teach you that I have a sleeping habit and that I am going to go to the studio where Mao is.
"I'm going to go to Mao's, where are you?"
"I was just taking a walk. Can I follow you?"
"It doesn't matter. Oh, I'm going to start in the studio, so can you show me around?"
"If that's the case, I'll take care of it!"
Nea pulls my hand and walks down the aisle.
I feel like a father who brought a child to an amusement park.
"This is it!"
I'll be in the studio in about a few minutes.
I'll put the door in front of the design that's not so different from the others, and just knock.
Mao, are you there?
Knock on the tool room door.
Then I can hear both the noise of chatter from inside and the reluctance.
"Doh, go ahead."
"Yeah. Then I'll come in."
When I opened the door, the room was littered with parts of the magic appliance and so on, and Mao sat at a table that seemed a little twitchy.
"There, sit down"
"Hmm? Oh, you got it for me. Thanks."
"Hey, what about me?"
I only have one chair available, and no Nea's.
Mao frowns somewhere grumpy, pointing straight at the floor.
"Shiro is the floor"
…… Kate, you can sit down. "
"Oh, but..."
"Fine."
When they say it in a strong tone and sit in a chair, Nea jumps on to sit on my lap wondering what I thought.
"You don't have a problem with this! Beh."
"... ugh!!!"
"Look, we don't fight over shame"
Mao releases a swordswallowing atmosphere with no expression to Nia.
They both look like kids, but Nea's not that different from me. I'm going to forget about her.
Instead, Nia's ears bothered me across the horizon, and in the first place...
"Nia, aren't you ashamed? I'm embarrassed."
"... ha!? Ahhh!?"
"You gave it back to me... you can't pull it back later..."
Nia made her face bright red enough to tell later.
As she grins bitterly at the way it is, she desperately shakes her neck to the side as she tries to get her to come down.
"Yes, no! Keep it up!!"
"No, but..."
"Fine...!!"
Awesome temper...... what brings her that far......
Just keep Nea on her knees and face Mao.
That's an odd sight you don't have to think about, this.
……
But this kid was the demon king, wasn't he?
I'm in a complicated mood, but I'm guessing it's quite a translation ant given that this kid doesn't have any parents.
"Do you seem used to living here?"
"... yeah"
Let's communicate for the first time from a light question.
I find it handy that you answered, while continuing to throw questions at me.
"Are you eating properly?"
"... yeah"
"Sleeping well?"
"... hey"
"Can't you? I need to sleep properly. You'll lose your height."
"Ugh, yeah... I'll be careful..."
Normally, that sounds good.
Mao snorts joyfully.
"No, Mother!!"
So Nea on her knees suddenly gives me such a real scratch.
Bit, I'm surprised......
"Who's your mom?"
"I didn't tell you, but I do!! The question is pretty much the same as my mother's!?"
"Nia, calm down. Kite was unconscious..."
"You've given up Shiv too..."
Have I cared too much...?
Mmm, you don't know how far I can talk to Mao.
"Well, shall we get back to it? Mao."
"Yeah?"
"How can you be the Demon King?"
"... you haven't heard from Mr. Lion?"
"I thought I should hear it from you."
I could have heard it from Mr. Lion, but I don't know if he'd talk about it in a weird way.
I trust her, but her credibility is slightly diminished in this one case.
…… Okay. Talk. "
Mao nodded in confusion, talking about his puffiness and his own state of affairs until he became the Demon King.
That I lost my parents at an early age and left them alone.
That he had a talent for making magic, even though he was young, and that he was indulging in it.
And that someone who doesn't have the heart to continue to use that talent.
"I know I was doing the wrong thing. But I didn't like one."
"And I wanted to be praised?"
"... yeah, not everyone..."
So it's a mystery to judge me and Io as parents.
I can't deny what it feels like to think so.
"Meliá, tell your sister you'll forgive me."
"Merliah, is that true?"
"Yeah, it's true."
"Wow!?"
Ask me on the spot and I hear Meliá's affirmative voice from behind.
I'm so surprised that Nea sitting on her knees is about to jump, but I sigh louder than that.
"I'm not gonna use this girl."
"I apologize for the impudent imitation. Let's get some punishment."
"No, you don't have to go that far..."
"Really... too bad..."
Too bad...?
Turning around, there's no longer a Merriam figure there.
Turning forward with a twist on his neck, Mao was there looking decent.
"Well, it's also Mr. Lion's fault that you did this, but you were definitely the Demon King,"
"... sorry"
"Yeah. So don't forget that fact, and from now on, I think you just have to do what you want to do"
"My, what do you want to do?"
I wish Mao himself would find what she wanted to do from now on instead of deciding who was using Mao or the way this kid was going like Mr. Lion.
Of course, instead of suddenly flailing it out, we can all help.
"I can't be your father."
"What... I don't like it"
I never thought I'd be rejected normally.
I'm surprised the other way around that you get a targeted look of despair that I didn't expect you to say that.
"Instead, be friends"
"Friend, is it?"
"We can talk about it with the same eyes, and we can talk about each other's concerns"
Otherwise, like me and Chisato... No, you just gave the wrong example.
Reefa is my partner and... that? I'm hardly a boyfriend, am I? Rick feels like a respectable person and he doesn't feel like a friend...
"Besides, there's Nea here."
"Ha? Kate, how come I have to be this kid's friend--"
"Pure Demon Shock"
"Huh."
Place your hands collecting the magic of pure demons on Nea's shoulders that are going to say things you can't grow up with, and weaken her.
Mao rang out reluctantly as he supported her as she was about to fall like a cat who ate once again.
"So, can you go see him from me? Isn't that annoying?"
"Of course. I don't think it's annoying."
She also shows a slight hesitation when talking to people about whether she had too much to interact with others.
You won't be able to get all this back overnight, but that should be something you can do with the cooperation around you, including me.
When I snort, Mao smiles small.
"Thanks.... Father"
"So you're not your father, are you?"
I've told you so many times, but you're not, are you?
Bad, this is gonna be a big deal if there's anything they say all over the city.
Mostly on me.
