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

"I'm sorry, Falsa, I'm sorry to relax, but Julia seems to be hungry and says she wants to eat. May I use the kitchen?"

It was Zenobia's call for a lawful permission to use the kitchen to cook, recalling Farsa's consciousness swallowed by the whirlpool of thought. Opening the door between the bathroom and the dressing room and looking a little apologetic is probably because Falsa seemed to relax in the bathtub. It's a bad habit to forget time once you start thinking, Falsa reflects on her actions and stands up slowly, responding to Zenobia as she walks to the changing room.

"I'll help if I cook, and I'll keep some preservative food, so I'll show you to the vault ..."

"Hmm? It looks like your feet aren't confusing-Farsa! Are you OK?"

Falsa heads to the dressing room while speaking. However, she has fallen long after taking a long bath, and has fallen astray. Zenobia swiftly embraces the dimension, but his opponent wears a swimsuit below, but his upper body is a naked man.

"Hey!

Zenobia is so upset that she can no longer tell what she is saying, but Farsah leans and leans on Zenobia without moving. Zenobia, of course, doesn't wear armor in the bath, and she's in Falsa's house. It's not hard to imagine that the wet Falsa is in close contact with such Zenobia, and various difficult situations will occur. Also, both Falsa and Zenobia have reddish faces, for a completely different reason.

"I'm sorry Zenobia ... just a little ... just like this ..."

"Hey! I have a breath in my ear! I understand, I understand!"

Farsa, who sighs painfully, but manages to speak, is unusually weak. It was Xenobia whose breath was over his ear and he couldn't hide his upset, but he noticed that the atmosphere was different from usual, and he seems to be a little more calm than before. Nevertheless, Zenobia may move uncomfortably with her body because she is close enough to feel the temperature of Falsa.

"... Falsa seems to hear something outrageous, but what happened with Palmina? It's unusual for you to show such a chance."

Zenobia asks Farsa, who is still hugging herself, with a different attitude than before. Zenobia, the commander of the Knights of the White Lilies and the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ctesiphon, is a natural but not bad head. It is sometimes a bit strange due to Falsa, and because of her inflexible and serious personality, she is often misunderstood, but she is still a talented woman. And Zenobia, who stands on top as a leader, cannot be so insensitive that he does not notice that his close friend, Farsa, is strange. If there is a cause, it would be an extremely natural consequence to have an idea that they had something with Palmina after getting out of the bath. That's why Falsa, who took a bath until he could climb, was different from his usual appearance.

"... I didn't mean there was anything with Palmina, but ... I just thought ... I'm so stupid. No, I'm not going to talk about it. "

Farsa, who was still a little stunned or just slipped in her mouth, immediately noticed her own speech and tried to end her story. Farsa puts her hands on Zenobia's shoulders and tries to release her body.

"Falsa. I've been helped by you before. You're a benefactor for me. Is it my self that I'm worried and wanting to help? Is it worthless to you for me? Isn't Zenobia de Cuteciphon considered that far to Falsa Specchiace? "

His voice was terribly serious, powerful, tender, and frightening. Farsa is not an exaggeration to say secretive, he does not talk about himself or show any weaknesses. It may seem very hearty and dependable, but from a different point of view it does not seem to trust others. No one knows the true appearance of Farsa Specchiace, a man who has climbed to the forefront of the court mage by overwhelming magic. Farsat's low-pitched sound can be a great opportunity for Zenobia to get closer, but there is a danger that if you make a mistake, you will be alerted and move further away. But Zenobia would still have decided to step into Falsa's mind. There is no guarantee that you will miss this opportunity and that the same thing will happen again, and above all you can not overlook the worried figure of the person you respect, because it is Knight Zenobia.

"…………sorry"

"Yeah ... I guess so. I hope I can help Falsa ----"

"--Wrong!"

Upon hearing Falsa's apology, Zenobia considers it a refusal and replies with a disappointed expression. However, Farsa intercepted the statement and spoke a negative word.

"No, Zenobia, no, no, but ... but not yet ..."

Xenosbia gently smiles at Falsa, who says nothing more. He then pulls his arms to the back of Falsa's head and embraces him, slowly guiding him into his chest. Stroking Falsa's head on his chest and gently tapping his back, it looks like a mother who cares for a child.

"When I was young, my mother often did this when my father scolded me and wept. Now, Falsa is like a child."

"... It's a lot like being a child."

"Huh, it just seemed strange .... I don't have any clue what Falsa is worried about, but I understand that I can't talk to us. I was sorry to ask him, but I was relieved for the reason I was not thinking. "

Falsa grew up ignorant of her mother's warmth, and her father died at an early age.

-You must never know that you were born between a human being and a demons, regardless of whether they are humans or demons. I don't want you to feel such a painful feeling-

Farsa thought that the words he had been saying to his father many times were correct, and that in a world of humans and demons fighting each other, he would be unacceptable. That's why we always keep our distance from others, no matter how close we look, we will never let the last wall over. The demon Mirage and the human Farsa were wearing the two masks. However, gradually and really slowly, as the denial of Zenobia's words earlier, the mask is beginning to have small cracks so that even the person himself does not know.

"Thank you Zenobia. I'll tell you, Julia, Palmina, Aura someday, so will you wait until that time?"

"Wow, that's a stupid thing. I'm good at waiting. I'll wait forever until Falsa calms down. But don't be afraid to let me wait until she's grandma."

Zenobia jokingly answers Falsa, who asks a question while raising her face and looking at her eyes, smiling with some dignity.

"Somehow it was the opposite of that time. I was surprised because you thought you were a child a while ago, but you are an adult sometime soon."

"Mr. Farsa says much more than his age. Well, when I first met, I couldn't help but be reminded of being a child ... don't remind me much."

Farsa, who speaks in a dismal manner, looks better than before, and seems to be much better in shape. On the other hand, Zenobia, who was dignified, began expressing expression of shame in Falsa's remarks that reminded me of the past. In the sense of a long-lived demonic, the development of precocious humans seems like a flash, so it's not surprising that Falsa would be a little older. Zenobia was seventeen, and when he met Farsa he was still thirteen or fourteen, a more mentally younger age. Farsa, on the other hand, is already about 300 years old, and he has decided that his apparent age as a human being is 24 years old, but of course he has enough life experience to say that he is old. In fact, he lived almost like a withdrawal before joining the Demon King's army, but he still has enough experience from a human perspective.

"Isn't it the first time we talked face-to-face when we were in a joint operation? No, I was surprised at that time. ! So I"

"That's why you're telling me not to remind me! Falsa is still mean to me now! I don't think there's anything wrong with Farsa, who was sloppy. ''

Indeed, at that time, Falsa recalls her past, remembering that she was more insidious than now. About a year after being appointed as a court mage, it was a period of disappointment at the low magical skills that humans deal with. Today, the court mages of the Valois kingdom are called the strongest mage groups in the neighboring nations, only after Farsa became the first court mage. The court mages up to that time were not too exaggerated to say that the magical treatment was poor in the eyes of Farsa, and they did not agree well with the Knights. In addition, Farsa at that time had already achieved the purpose of becoming a court mage, and since he was working halfway away, it seems that he seemed to be awkward to humans from the end. Zenobia, meanwhile, was shortly after joining the Knights of the White Lily and was working hard to fulfill his responsibilities. It's clear that there's no reason to go smoothly because they met.

"Well, I think I was aura nowadays. That child really sees people."

"Surely I was amazed at the vision of Princess Aurelia, but because of that encounter, I became the commander of the Knights of the White Lily, and I could travel with Farsa, Julia, and Palmina. That's why it's something to be grateful for. "

Originally, like other demons, Farsa was not so interested in humans and lived a daily life. At first he traveled around the nations of human beings due to the guilt of his own mistakes, but nothing was of particular interest to Farsa. It is undoubtedly that life as a human, not as a demonic, began without encountering Aurelia. A rare human story of Farsa, who was born between a demonic father and a human mother, but has lived mostly as a demonic. Part of this is Zenobia de Cuteciphon, who is here. They smiled at each other and recalled things at the time.
