Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Lesson 10: The Fear Inquisition

You can never wake up alone all the time, but for some reason you only wake up early when you sleep with Bell...

Looking at Bell's sleeping face enough with that in mind, Bell's lid finally opened.

"Morning. Did you sleep well?

"... good morning. Hehe... it's Leo."

To Belle, who's having a weird laugh, huh? Are you sleeping down? Bell's lips stuck to mine when I thought, etc.

"Hehe... I kissed him again"

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Mr. Bell, what's wrong with you?

Bell's face approached me again as I was confused by a sudden kiss and an unusual character.

"Yes. Stop!

Bang! and made a loud noise and Shelly and Leena came in.

"I heard Mr. Lou was angry with Leo yesterday, and I was worried about the two of you who didn't come for dinner at night... sounds like you enjoyed yourself for a long time, didn't you?

"No, eh? Oh, uh..."

Beth, you weren't looking forward to anything, were you?

"Let's have breakfast for now, and then we'll talk about it carefully?

"Yes..."

I was awake and I couldn't turn my head, and I couldn't argue with anything... well, I couldn't speak a word.

Then Belle and I had breakfast, and Elsie and Lou joined us, and the interrogation started in my room.

I voluntarily sat on a hard floor and Bell stood sorry behind it.

By the way, it seems Lou is still sleepy and round in my bed.

Probably won't be joining the conversation.

So the interrogation by Shelley, Leena and Elsie began.

"So where the hell were you yesterday? Looks like Lou knew something, but it was a little tight asking Leo... What the hell happened?

Oh, Lou, I kept my promise right.

I'll have to feed you a lot of dragon meat, too, as promised.

Well, I have to tell you everything anyway.

"Uh... Yesterday, we were both going to the Devil's Forest"

"" "Demon Forest!?

The three of them were surprised by my words, with their eyes open.

Is that so surprising? I'm going to the Devil's Forest for the third time, right?

"You promised not to go until your mother and I grew up, didn't you?

Oh, yeah. I forgot your promise too...

Please, keep your mouth shut of my mother! I just wanted to say, it's not a very descriptive situation, so I quietly started the clarification.

"That's it... here, if I had built a castle wall or something, the material would be gone... and I convinced Bell to let me go on the condition that I would leave as soon as I decided Bell was in danger"

"Yes... so what happened? We weren't just collecting material, were we?

Shelley has been quietly talking to me.

This, I'm scared... I'm scared Shelley's so quiet... if it's the usual Shelley, I'd be seriously mad at her for showing off my emotions by the time I saw where Bell and I were sleeping together in the morning...

"Uh... won't you say anything else about what we're going to talk about?

"Is it unsavory if someone finds out? Then I understand. I promise."

"You're not gonna keep talking to me unless you promise, are you? Then I promise."

"I promise I won't say anything else either"

"Thank you. Actually, the Demon King is still alive in the Devil's Forest."

I got confirmation from the three of them, so I just started talking about the Demon King.

For once, I think we should keep it a secret that the Demon King lives there.

"" "Demon King!?

Yeah. From earlier, I'm sorry about all the surprises.

But there's so much more surprising information to come, so be prepared, okay?

"Yes. That doesn't mean I'm going to do anything wrong, and you don't have to worry about it. I met with the Demon King every time I went to the Devil's Forest, but the first time I met him, he helped me train, and he's a good guy."

"Something's too different from a demon king in a story to imagine."

For once, it's a true story. If you don't serve it somewhat, you can't help it because it's not funny as a story.

"Well, he's still one of the most powerful men in the world, and he couldn't even stand in front of a demon king."

"Huh? Oh, right. Bell was with you yesterday, wasn't he? Belle, what was the demon king like?

"I wasn't scared if I got used to it. But... the magic pressure was too strong, so close, I couldn't help my ankles."

Speaking to Shelley, Bell spoke pale about the demon king he met yesterday.

Magic pressure... I didn't feel that way, did I?

Can't you feel it because I'm highly magical, too?

"Not so...... So, what did you do with the Demon King?

"I don't know what I did... I've been told a lot. About this world."

"About this world? That's pretty vague. For example, what did you tell me?

"Right...... Like Bell's father was king of the Beasts?

"Huh? Belle, were you royal?

To my words, all three turned to Bell in surprise.

"Yes, no... it seems that the kingdom of the Beasts has already been destroyed. So I'm a former royal, to be exact."

"Destroyed!? Why?"

"Someone killed them all."

"Who's there?

"Yeah......"

Can I explain the reincarnator now?

What's inconvenient if we talk about it?

... Anything in particular come to mind?

Either way, I was going to tell you that I had memories of my previous life... and I still don't have a problem with that.

"Actually..."

Then I explained to Shelley and the others that I had memories of my previous life and that I had been taught yesterday by the Demon King.

……

"Uh... I mean, Leo's a so-called reincarnator, and we're going to have to kill each other with the other reincarnators?

"Right."

"Oh no..."

When I nodded, they all looked so sad.

Well, I'm too anxious about killing each other, too. I hate it.

Oh, speaking of which, you slept early yesterday.

Thanks to Belle for sleeping with me.

"Um... what kind of memories of a previous life does Leo have? Because of that, Leo-kun has always been like an adult, and he could do such an amazing thing?

Put aside a few moments, and now Leena's asking me questions.

After all, did that question come......

"That's... right. I think I did a lot of things because I had memories of a previous life. I've been able to train magic since I was a little girl, I don't have to study to get a full score on exams, I know things that don't exist in this world, and I did what I invented... it's like that."

"Really...... But you're Leo now, including that, right?

"Yeah, that's right."

You know, am I completely leonth myself already?

I think I'm stronger as a leon than I was in my previous life.

"Then it's okay. If you're no different from Leo, whom I know, nothing's wrong. Right? Shelley?"

"Right. It's just that Leo is more capable than we know."

"Heh heh, my feelings don't really change either."

"Thank you all three"

"Hey, more than that, what do you mean I can only live to be a hundred?

As I was bowing my head to the three of them, Lou, who got out of bed muckoo, asked me.

"Oh, oh! Speaking of which, Lou was that reincarnator too, wasn't he?

"If you ask me, I have the ability to snort that too..."

"You can't imagine more than ten people like Lou."

"Lou is just like me, he has memories of previous lives. Well, I don't know why, but I don't seem to remember it right now because I have amnesia."

"Yeah, I don't remember that at all"

"So, like I said, me and Lou, the new Demon King can only live to be a hundred years old for a long time. I'm human, so I don't know if I can live to be a hundred, but it's like Lou's gonna die when he's a hundred."

"That's right... I'm the only one in the world who doesn't have to be left behind, right?

"Ugh, yeah."

"Then no!

……

Even if you're happy to die soon, you'll have trouble reacting.

We got unspeakable air on Lou's smile.

"I don't know, there's a lot of information going on and I'm going crazy. I'm kind of convinced Belle and Leo had a fight yesterday after we got back."

"Well, there was another slightly different reason for that..."

Now he explained in detail that he was dying in a dragon's nest, that Bell got mad at me for breaking my promise not to do anything dangerous when I got back, and that he made up in the form of becoming a lover.

I'm afraid Shelly's gonna piss me off...

If I have to say it anyway, it's a maneuver to say it within the moment that we haven't caught up with the processing of the information yet and let it be vague.

"Uh... did you break your promise to your mother, and even more to Bell?

Listening to my general flow, Leena just poked me where it hurts.

Leena, you love your mother... I broke my promise, she seems pretty angry.

Let me apologize for this honestly.

"Yes... sorry"

"So, I hope Bell got angry... remembering that he was a maid and saying too strongly and that he and Leo were only in a subordinate relationship, crying in the room..."

My dungeon got through and Leena moved on to Bell's story.

I'm sad... but I'm sorry, so why don't you shut up?

"Yes..."

When Bell snorted weakly, Leena turned to me again.

"Then Mr. Lou told you to go apologize, and Leo-kun rushed after Bell?

"Yes, definitely"

Ugh...... Leena's gaze hurts.

I can't confirm it because I have my head on the floor, but I think it's staring at me.

"Leo's totally bad about this, isn't he?

"Yes. I think Leo is bad. And the fact that Mr. Lou caught my eye and chased me is also a reduction."

"Yes... sorry"

I stayed grounded and apologized again.

You don't have the courage to raise your head anymore.

"After Leo walked into Mr. Bell's room, Leo said he was beaten up for making Mr. Bell unnecessarily angry... what did you do to make him so angry that Mr. Bell beat him up?

Now it looks like Mr. Elsie's turn. Again, I heard a cold voice.

"Well, that's... I'll keep my mouth shut for Belle too"

I can't believe I'm talking about my pants.

"Yes, I pissed Bell off, I must have done something terrible."

"Definitely."

Oh, really? Well, I guess it was a good thing for Bell.

"So, Mr. Bell, who hit Leo-kun, tried to quit his maid because he couldn't stand what he'd done, right?

"... Yes"

Bell at the back replied to Mr Elsie's inquiry.

True, I'm glad I didn't quit.

Or if my consciousness hadn't returned soon, would Bell not have been here by now?

If you think about it, you have to do everything in your power to appreciate your regeneration skills.

"You don't have to quit as much as you hit Leo anymore."

Oh, I'm sure you do, but it hurts to be told, as a matter of course, yes?

"And isn't it because I liked Leo too much for you to be a maid after that?

"Even if it's that reason, Bell's serious, isn't he? The most troubling thing about Leo being gone is definitely Bell more than we do, and I know Leo cares about Bell, so you don't have to worry about it. Instead, it turns out to be the princess of the Beast clan, so on the contrary, it tastes worse to remain a maid of honor."

Huh?

I looked up in surprise.

"Huh? Shelly, could you possibly have a fever?

"Huh? What are you talking about? Are you healthy?

"That can't be right. 'Cause if it's the usual Shelley, you never say Belle's the best, do you?

That's right, that's right! I'm not jealous, Shelly. I'm not jealous of Shelly!

"... is that right? Well, I grow up, too. Even so, I'm the best person you like about Leo, and my real wife is me, right?

"Ugh... to Shelley, I'm getting room for my real wife. But you can't beat how you like Leo, can you?

Let's see, you can afford a real wife...

"Oh, you want to compete?

No, no, I'm in trouble if they compete over that.

Well, Shelley's Shelley somehow.

"Yes, sir. Make it around there, both of you. Because I can't move on. Let's mix me up later and do it strictly."

Come on, make it clear if you want to stop the fight or join us.

Well, technically, what kind of battle do you play?

"Gohon. Well, I'll get back to you. Leo, what is Mr. Bell going to do after all?

I coughed up and Elsie undone the subject.

You're treating Belle...

"Yeah... my lover and caregiver?

Because I'm no longer a maid... I can only express myself like this.

Oh, but even if you're no longer a maid, you'll have to pay your salary as always as a favor.

"I mean, it's not the same thing Bell's ever done, but you're no longer a maid of honor, right?

"Well, you are. Is that okay?

"Yes. Uh... Gentlemen, are you sure it's okay for me to be Leo's lover?

When I looked back and checked with Bell, Bell snorted... and asked about the look on Shelley's face.

"Huh? You, sleeping in the same bed as Leo, asking me that now?

"Oh, yes...... sorry"

If you think about it, it's not about the maid and her husband anymore at the time we sleep together again and again.

Shelley's right. You feel better now.

Well, I've always thought of Belle as a family, not a maid.

"Well, isn't that nice? Bell also had a position as a maid, which made it difficult to put her feelings on the table."

"Right...... but I really don't feel like it anymore? It was decided in me that Belle would marry Leo since we got along in the dorm, so it's okay and nothing to be lovers now, right?

Did we get along in the dorm? I often tell you that I've hated you for a while.

Well, we're good friends now, okay?

"Well, sure, because you two had a family-like relationship already through your lover. You're in trouble even if you ask for permission now."

Yeah, 'cause it's family.

"So it looks like you didn't have to worry about getting mad at me, huh?

I looked back at Bell laughing nicely.

When I looked back, Bell's face was crying down.

"Ugh... Gus! Thank you both."

Wiping his tears, Bell bowed his head to the three of them.

"Huh? What were you worried about getting mad at me for?

"I have no choice. Nobody can imagine Shelly growing up that way."

Yeah, yeah. I can't believe Shelly had room for a real wife.

"Huh? I shouldn't!? Yeah, I'm just a kid anyway!

Saying so and angry at Leena, Shelley walked over to Bell.

And I hugged him about the crying bell.

"Uh... Belle? You don't have to shy away from us about anything. 'Cause we're family now. This is all we take baths together, so it's sadder to be shy, isn't it?

To that word, Bell was crying down to the point where he couldn't speak.

"That's right. We're the same Leo-kun woman now. We're a family with no changeover."

"Oh, let me in too!

"Hehe, I love Mr. Bell as much as Leo."

Leena, Lou and Elsie also went on to hug about Bell, and the four of them were smiling and laughing at Bell.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... thank you...... I, too, Sherry, Leena, Lou, Elsie...... love you all"

Yeah, I don't know... don't feel so happy.

Then I watched the five of them hug each other amicably, losing the time to stand up, and I was enduring leg paralysis.

And Leena was so pissed off about breaking my promise to my mother.

I didn't know the sermon would last until dinner......
