Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

7.5-17 Royal Castle Alternatives 17

When the Lords of East Fortress were happily thinking about the reasons for applying for subsidies...

Some of the apartments closer to Julia and Sylvia's house...

"..." no.

"..." no.

And there were two people who were wearing a blue atmosphere, looking somewhat gessy.

Blacksmith's granddaughter (?) of Silanui and Yuki, a former demon king...

"I'm in trouble..."

"You're in trouble..."

Silanui and Yuki mouth the same words as they face each other at the table.

Why the hell were they in trouble when...

"... you can't see anyone"

"... Could it be that you guys don't like us?

Because, as those two men put it, in the days since the fall of the Royal Castle, I never met any of my companions...

To be precise... the figure of Waltz and Lucia floating in the sky was visible from anywhere in the king's capital, so I didn't see anyone entirely, it wasn't that.

However, even if it seemed like an analogy, it would not be a mistake to say that Yuki and the others, including the waltzes floating in the sky, had not spoken to anyone in their peers, so essentially, they had not met anyone.

"The boulders hate me, isn't that... a little too much to say...?/(adj-na, adv-to) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) no

"Uh... I'm sorry..." No.

If they don't like it, it won't go out of style...

Yuki noticed Syranui's words, which had that connotation in them, could have been a negative statement... and thinking negatively, she gave a dark look...

Like..., the air in this house seemed to be dominated by a spiral of negative thought of two inhabitants.

Originally, Shiranui, who had a less sociable personality, and Yuki, who is unfamiliar with life confused with Shirai (Shirai) in human society, could not adapt to life in a new environment and could be said to have been feeling a little depressed.

Though, it doesn't seem serious enough to say it's a disease...

... but there, Silanui, who claims to have traveled around the world by herself, and Yuki, 250 years of age.

Looks like we both decided to get back on our minds right away and change the subject.

"Uh... let's have a bright conversation, not a dark topic!

"Right. Maybe one of these days, Mr. Waltz will find it harder to pick you up."

"... but it's common, isn't it? Talk about the princess on the human side captured by the Demon King, the brave man... picking up (...) Yi (...)..."

"Uh, I have a similar experience with that. Once upon a time, from the other side of the Great River, people used to tease me about countries on the human side... and I kidnapped cooks from the other country."

"What... aren't you a princess?

"Yes, because kidnapping a princess doesn't do me any good. Then, while I was being held hostage, I took the cook home in an effort to get him to cook some delicious spicy dishes. But... in the end, my men stopped me from saying, 'It could be poisoned,' and I never ate it... And then again, in the end, no one came to help... and when I realized, they were all dead. Really, you realized that humans are brittle creatures..."

"... Oh, really..." Noh.

Shiranui shows her dark face again because Yuki's remarks were too cruel in many ways...

Note that the cause of death for the caught cooks is aging, not starvation...

In this world, where the average age is low because of low medical standards, it was like an instant event, if you think about Yuki's life expectancy too long, such as general human life expectancy.

On that note, there was no way Syranui noticed... but it seems she decided to change the subject again, with a view to getting out of the negative spiral.

"Uh, Sirius... what dishes does Yuki like to cook in spicy dishes?

"Hmm... that's a hard question to ask inside. Recently, thanks to the absence of the loud devotees (shi mai), I can finally eat whatever I want... well, if I insist, is it the spice itself?

"... Huh? The spice itself..."

"On top of the hot rice, eat heated bright red hercherries... That feeling of sudden loss of all nerves in your mouth... I really can't stop. Silanui, why don't you go once?"

"I don't want to!

"Oh, really..." No.

I feel like Silanui denied all my favorite things... and Yuki leans down.

But she also asked, either because she wanted to do something about the dark atmosphere, or as soon as she looked up... the other way around.

"By the way, the question is, what kind of food do you like, Mr. Silanui?

"What? Is it my... favorite?

Silanui said so and then thought about it.

Was there a lot of food I liked, or was there none at all...

I thought about it for a while, and when she put her hands together as if she remembered something, she said this with a bright face.

"It's miso soup!

"Is it miso soup? How could that be?

In response to that Yuki inquiry, Shiranui... hmm, roaring, shows her the trick of thinking again, and starts talking after it's slightly there.

"Uh, so I ask the other way around, why does Yuki like spicy things? Can you remember why right away?

"Ah... sure, no matter why you ask, it may not come out any time soon. All I can say is that I like hot and spicy things."

"... I'm just like that. Because I like it, I like it. But... if I insist, because I'm horrified to remember the delicious miso soup Grandpa made for me...? At this time, all the drinks are good enough for miso soup. Hopefully, there's more to it than juice..."

"In that drink... no. Nothing..."

And, to Syranui's words, Yuki, although he seemed to say something, eventually, closes his mouth.

That's not why she shut up, because Syranui's imaginary miso soup was never what could be called a drink...

Above all, because there was something else I wanted to hear.

The trigger seemed to be the word 'grandpa', which Syranui uttered.

"By the way, Mr. Silanui. I was wondering... can I ask you something about your grandfather, who comes up from time to time in your story?

Yuki asks.

Then, for some reason, Silanui...

"What..."

And I said, it seems to have solidified.

Apparently, she's not reluctant or confused... simply, with 'eh' in her mouth, she's literally hardened.

No way, I didn't think they'd ask... it could be close to that.

"Um... Mr. Silanui? Are you all right, sir?

"Oh, yes..."

Yuki's inquiry seems to have solved Shiranui's rigidity, but...

"Was it something I shouldn't ask too much about?

"No, that's not..."

That being said, he does not seem to delude himself to the point of gibberish.

Then Yuki... no, Yuki, who had general expectations about the cause, said this briefly, as if to try her.

"... now a land of ghosts without"

"Uh... I think you've heard something extra. Sorry..." no.

Yuki wraps up the blue aura again because she regretted that it wasn't even enough to bother asking because Syranui's reaction was what she thought.

Either way, until the other day, when she was Emperor of the Boleas Empire in the realm of the Demons, she seemed to have a complete grasp of how Syranui had reacted strangely.

Syranui's also thought that now, he can't be deluded...

"Um... could you keep it a secret from everyone else? Sirius Sire."

Looks like he called Yuki by her honorable name and turned a straight glance at her.

"I don't mind that all the time... but can you at least explain to me the details of the situation?

"... yes. Okay..." no.

And as I gave up a lot, Shiranui begins to explain the situation to Yuki.

Yuki, who thus had some idea of the demons' circumstances, will know about Syranui's secrets... but it is not until some time ago that it will become known to his companions...
