Dual Life ~Hiru wa Yuusha Party, Yoru wa Maou Gun~

From the opened door, messengers enter the room, aloud.

"Excuse me"

"... illusion"

Astalt mutters while looking at the door, putting it over the messenger's voice.

"We have contact information from Mirage, Asart, and Demon Castle"

The messenger salutes into the empty space and pulls a letter from his bosom. Mirage and Astalt are still on the bed, but they are talking in a totally misplaced direction, as if they were not seeing it.

"Hello, this is the content."

He offered the letter in his right hand, and let go of the letter. Naturally, the letter falls and flutters, arriving at the floor with a whine. However, the messenger is not aware of the situation at all and salutes again in an empty direction.

"So I'm sorry for this"

Whether talking with the invisible man or playing alone, or if he was hallucinating, the messenger left the room as soon as he said he had finished his job. With the sound of the door closing, silence comes into the room for a while.

"Now is ... tart?"

Ask the tart in a voice that Mirage was impressed with.

"Yes, thanks to that, it went well. I don't know if I'll try it with a large number of people, but it seems to be practical."

Astalt replies with no change in expression, and when he naturally gets out of bed, he walks to pick up the letter that is falling on the floor. It was as if nothing special had happened, but the appearance of the messenger was obviously not just a matter of fact.

"It's terrible ... in a short time like that ... Tart is a genius."

Unusual for a Mirage, he seems to be impressed while shaking himself. The messenger's appearance was due to Astalt, who was being hallucinated as soon as he entered the room. In his eyes, Mirage and Astalt were standing in the room, and the two on the bed were completely unrecognizable. You salute the hallucinations Mirage and Astalt and hand them the letter, but with the traditional Hallucination magic of Astalt, you will feel uncomfortable here. When a messenger hands a letter to a hallucinatory Mirage when handing a letter, it may seem strange if you do not feel the body temperature depending on the opponent's touch or the time of touch. So, Astart used the three senses of the senses, the sense of sight acting on the appearance, the hearing to simulate voices and sounds, and the tactile sensation when actually touched, to make the messenger remember the vision.

"I've been touching Mirage for quite a while, and because I was alone, I was able to concentrate."

For a few hours after Mirage returned to the Illusion Castle, Astart kept in his room and kept touching Mirage's body. That made the image clearer and misled the messenger, but as Mirage muttered earlier, it can be said that it has truly reached the level of genius. Even if it had the effect of deceiving a normal figure, it was working on three extremely difficult hallucination magics, not only sight but also hearing and touch. In addition, when it came to tactile sensations, it took just a few hours and that much time to perfect the image. Mirage was impressed from the bottom that none of the court mages could do this.

"But ... well, I wonder if this is too scary"

Mirage had never allowed anything else to follow the exercise of magic. Of course, because they hide their original abilities, they are not perceived as such-they are still considered to be magical geniuses-but they seem to line themselves up with their original abilities. No one with the power of magic has ever seen. The story includes Yulia, the hero, Palmina, the saint, the Demon King and the other four kings. Mirage knows that there is something that is definitely catching up with his own magic technology right now, because it is natural that it is not only magic when it comes to actual battles, but it is impossible to know whether to win or lose. It had been. The sublimation of hallucinatory magic is so difficult, and it can be said that it is the result of the unremitting efforts of Astalt and the overwhelming talent. Mirage is not able to see the facial expression with a mask, but she is shouting with delight. The original character was also lazy, but after joining the Demon King Army, further becoming a court mage, and knowing the ability of general wizards, Mirage-and Farsa-took extra care of it. Had worsened. I'm always in the top without any effort, but in a relaxed state. That environment may have helped me lose extra obsession with my work ... no, it's a lazy, messy, and negligent Mirage.

"Joke. I'm aware that my ability is still lacking. It's no use thinking that I'm going to insist on doing that and skipping the job."

When Mirage forced his work on the tart, he used a variety of means to agitate and calm it, as well as trying to fish with objects. From the start, it would be reasonable to say that it has just begun again.

"Well, when I say that, I don't hear the sound of a squeak, but at the same time ... I wonder if I've trained that much in the meantime.

"Everything ... it would be something if I wanted to make time, etc. And I was creating mirage-like hallucinations every day, so I think there was no shortage of training."

Of the soldiers in the Phantom Army, only Astalt knows Mirage's abstinence. In other words, creating the hallucinations of Mirage was so common. It is not surprising that Astalto often becomes bitter against Mirage. It's no wonder that Mirage is about to change her mind because she has been struggling with her subordinates.

"But if you have that much ability, you can replace me with the four heavenly kings right now. How about? Why don't you tell the Demon King? This is no flattery, and Tart's hallucination magic will definitely be recognized. I think it's probably the best ability of all the Demon Armies. "

In other words, Mirage has a rugged personality, regardless of the surrounding environment. However, the reputation of Astalt's magic seemed real and his voice was serious. The unusually serious Mirage, for a moment, was a stunning star, but he returned to his words.

"Don't say that you were joking. If I were to be the Four Heavens ... well, when I betrayed Mirage's filthy head. Please wash your neck and wait until then. What was written in the letter was a call from the Demon King to both of us.I'm sorry for this because I'll be preparing a little bit. Mirage puts on her clothes, Please wait"

Astart leaves the room quickly after turning up, and Mirage looks at her back stunningly. But Mirage didn't realize that the Astalt's face turned away, unusual, really unusual, had a smile. Just like a child rejoicing and being praised by his parents, Astalt was showing such an innocent smile.
