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

"Well, where do you start?"

In the royal palace lab, given to the court mage, Falsa smiles with a grin. On the wooden desk used for work, there were piles of books and documents taken out of the storage of the Royal Palace. Falsa has often read it at least once, but he may have forgotten anything that is not important, so we prepared it again. Farsa thought that Zenobia's brother, Leonard, and his close friend, Duke of Pierre Pierre, should be given particular importance.

"The happiness of my best friend's sister ...?"

Rumoring the words of Duke Pierre, Falsa considers his intentions. In the first place, Duke Pierre himself is 23 years old this year, too late for a nobleman. Even if Zenobia, who once had a friend, had the feelings behind it, it would be extremely unnatural to say that Zenobia had already talked about three years after his adulthood. The lack of interaction between the two after Leonard's death makes it clear that Prince D'Ampierre has a different intent than love and love. If you take it literally, it may be purely to make Zenobia happy.

"Even though there are people around me, the purpose of promoting the marriage is to me, because it's not a matter of negotiations."

Rumors of Falsa and Zenobia are already flowing in the palace. If the story of Duke Pierre circulates like a chase, a rivalry of two fighting for Zenobia will be created. It is not possible to judge whether the encounter itself was accidental or inevitable, but it may be dissatisfied that Dharma Pierre's connection between Falsa and Zenobia is based on the topic. Either way, it would be easy to persuade Zenobia because it was difficult to negotiate if it was against the Aurelian princess, but it would be very annoying if Falsa had bad feelings on the individual. Would. However, there is a possibility that the remarks at that place may be acting or bluffing, but there is no merit to exchange it for your own ugliness.

"What is Zenobia's happiness in the first place. Even if you marry me, you're more likely to be unhappy ..."

Falsa, who is about to fall into backward thinking, shakes his head and tries to deny his words. However, given that the demons have blood, I don't think there is a bright future. Farsa felt as though someone had whispered in her head, if she had gone to Duke of Pierre, it would be painful and happy later.

"What am I hurrying about? It's not too late to sort out information about the Duke of Pierre and the Marquis de Cetteciphon, and I'm not sure that Duke of Pierre is acting for Zenobia is not it"

Farsa, speaking out to herself, reaches for her desk and reads and fetches books and documents one after another. Knights school exercise records, training ground application form, ballroom participant list, aristocracy directory, informant report, Valois war history, gossip by maids, etc. There is a wide variety of contents, including the subjectivity of the author. Although the total number of pages is ten thousand, Falsa intends to read them all. Farsah's black eyes ran left and right with no hesitation, and the sound of the paper turning and the regular rhythm of the pendulum pendulum dominated the room. The scent of ink and the smell of mold from a large number of used books, the home where Falsa was born and raised was in a similar environment. Fartha's father was well-organized and kept books well, but often poorly preserved books appeared on the market. Still, Falsa nostalgic that she and her parents would buy the fish of interest and fill the bookshelves of the house one after another. He was annoyed by asking why his father married a human. Sometimes I whine that it was embarrassing to wear an eye patch when descending from the mountain. Falsa was driven by unexpected nostalgia, but nevertheless, he never stopped, and reached for a book to read.

"Is this ... caught in a vineyard and the first volume?"

Falsa speaks the title of the cover and slowly turns the page. The content is a romantic romance story that begins when Adolphe, the eldest son of a marquis with grape vineyards, meets Sarah, the daughter of the Viscount, who has come to apprenticeship. Adolf had a duke's wife, determined by his parents, but fell in love with Sarah. Naturally, Adolf was opposed by his parents, but with the intention of dismissal, he ran down and worked as a deputy commander of the Knights in the royal city, living a modest life with Sara. However, she was harassed by the Dukes who had been crushed and forced the Knights to leave. In addition, when he is heavily burdened by debts and hesitates on the street, he proposes that Sara break up with herself and return to her home. Adolf had been worried for three days and three nights, but decided to return to her home if she couldn't help her any more. Sarah's stomach had a new life, but she didn't know it.

"Oops, no, I'm just enthusiastic about reading, but I'm not ashamed to tell my past. I would refuse with all my might."

Farsa puts the finished book on her desk, uttering a word that became a habit in the trolley. Why such a romance novel is here because the main character of the story is modeled after Marquis Cettechon. Needless to say the end of the story, Leonard is born to Sara's stomach and ends with a happy life with three parents. The scene of swearing unchanging love in the vineyard, which is also the title, was particularly popular, and was frequently performed in the theaters of the Imperial City. However, it has not been re-run since Leonard's death until now. The story is based on a true story, though some directing is added to the story, but if Farsas were in the same position, they would be writhing in shame. Then, Falsa tries to return to work, but the door of the room opens suddenly and an intruder appears.

"Hey you! Let me explain what you mean!"

Long golden hair woven on the left and right, and blue eyes. And a long sword with decoration on the waist in armor reminiscent of innocence based on white. A woman knight with blue stripes on her forehead, leaning towards Farsa, and grabbing the chest. It is Cecilia de Montmorency, a deputy commander of the Knights of the White Lily, who had been escorting Aurelia until a few hours ago. Cecilia appears to be angry, but Farsas is still calm.

"I don't want to be able to come up suddenly and say something clearly, but I don't remember being close to you enough to communicate in less words."

"It's obvious! If you get used to you, it's better to die."

Falsa is shaken violently by Cecilia's excitement, causing her head to swing back and forth. Farsa, who laughed at his words, was convinced that Cecilia's blood and excitement could not have been any other than Zenobia. Cecilia and Zenobia have been dating since the time of the Knight School, and they met after Leonard died. In the past, Zenobia hated the mage and had a stronger character than now, probably because he struck his sword to clear his brother's remorse. Cecilia fell in love with Zenobia, who had been turned down by his ability, even though he was accused by a man. At first, though, he seemed to be rebellious against Zenobia, but he did not know what happened between them, but Falsa did not know much about it. I have.

"Huh. Then why did you come to meet me who would be better if you got used to it?"

"I guess it's all about Zenobia, why I came here! Why is it going to get married to a man out there! I was somehow pretending to be calm before my Highness or Zenobia But I was about to shout out if I was a little off guard! "

"No, I guess I was pretty much in the face, but the takeover meeting was almost up in the sky anyway. Anyway, as you can see, I'm busy doing my research and don't have time to care for you. I wonder if you can help me. "

Farsa refuses to read her romance novel when she has no spare time while she sheds her innocent reading. This seems to be a terrible treatment, but this was a routine one. The two had clashed several times in the past over Zenobia--albeit Cecilia's one-sided accusations. Although he is a respectable deputy commander who usually works seriously, Cenosia is the troublesome partner when Zenobia is involved. If you are free and you are going to die in your spare time, it is not unfortunate that you will be against them, but Falsa cannot afford it. Of course, Falsa is a book reader when he has time, so he has never had such an opportunity.

"What are you reading eagerly! How can Zenobia be taken by such a man?"

"I don't think it's okay to be taken, but it's not that simple, because I'm still trying to find a way out of this solution."

Falsa pressed Cecilia with a list of training ground users and a bunch of papers on the cover. A document that only records the name and date and time of the person who used the training area of the knight school in the royal city. When Cecilia sees it pressed, she looks like she bites a worm. It is the White Lily Knights who copied these documents, which should have been in a knight school, at the time of Aurelia. Aurelia, who had taken over the role of auditing a knight school, was able to copy a document that only the knight could read without getting it, and put it in his hand. Cecilia, who transcribed all night while training and auditing the Knights, complained that they did not want to read the text for a while.

"Don't give me such a terrible thing! Generally, I check these records and tell me what it means.

"It hasn't been abandoned or freaked out. For example ... a record of when you and Zenobia attended a knight school shows that you were around Zenobia for a time."

"ぴ ゃ! What, what, what stupid things?"

Aside from the openly upset Cecilia, Farsa shows a few pages and begins to explain.

"When you first enroll, the time they spend on the training ground varies, but after one day you come to the training ground after Zenobia every time. Sometimes it's a coincidence, but almost every day it's unlikely, but from the day I joined the same group as Zenobia in this exercise record, Zenobia came first and later, even when it was together This can be guessed that you have started to work out and have trained together.The friendship in school days is something that persists even if you have a different status. You can even find connections that aren't visible in the records, or even if you avoid each other, you'll notice the distinctive features. There's no point without it. ''

"Oh, you're really bad at digging back in the past, but I'm talking about Zenobia now, so don't try to fool it!"

Falsa sighs a small sigh, be patient to say that you are the demon. Falsa wants to go home in smoke and politely, but he does not intend to return unless he is serious. With a hearty apology to his deputy, who will undoubtedly be forced to do his work tonight, Fartha decides to take care of the messy knight in front of her. Experience has shown that Cecilia's opponent, who has shouted at Falsa in this way, has rarely ended in a short time.

"Huh, I'll just listen to it and sit down. There's only coffee in this room, so I can't hold it much."

"Oh, oh, oh, no problem"

Suddenly, Falsa suddenly changed his attitude, and Cecilia showed a little upset and sat down on a nearby chair according to his honesty. While Falsa was brewing coffee in the corner of the room, Cecilia looked over the lab in a weird way, and began fishing for a pile of books and documents piled up on a desk that she couldn't see.

"Oh, isn't this the story of Zenobia's father? I've read it frustratingly. Once I went to a topic without knowing that my brother was dead, I was cut off with a terrible sword curtain Tana.Zenovia at that time was as sharp and beautiful as a sharpened blade that cut through what I touched. "

Cecilia talks about old memories with an ecstatic expression, but seems to have a slightly different sensitivity than ordinary people. Nevertheless, Zenobia said that Cecilia was a close friend, so there is something that Falsa could not understand. Most of the members of the Knights of Valois are from a knight school in the royal capital. Knights are subject to rigorous training regardless of their status, and it is said that nearly half will drop out before graduation. Exercises conducted away from the royal capital often involve actual battles against monsters, and it is not unusual to camp in mountains or forests. Because of their peers who helped each other in such a harsh environment, the ties of synchronous students are so strong that their ages may be friends beyond the boundaries of status and faction. On the other hand, some people seem to know each other's nature and get along.

"From my point of view, it was too sharp and seemed to break easily."

Because of his gifted talent, Zenobia, who had never easily trained in a knight school and had never really been in trouble, was very fragile. Recalling so long ago, a steaming cup, a ceramic milk pot, and a small bottle of sugar were placed in front of Cecilia, and Falsa sat down in a chair some distance away.

"Well, what do you know? Zenobia is my ideal. Is it my retirement because of the terrible problems of factions, etc. And I will be the leader in a fight against Zenobia It can only be when you win. ''

Falsa thinks that Cecilia pours a cup of milk and sugar into her cup as she sniffs and resembles some old Zenobia. He is bullish and somewhat childish, strives to catch up with his target, and always tries to be equal. Zenobia is in top position in all positions, posts and swords, but Cecilia is here without rot. While Farsa and Zenobia were away from the royal capital, Date was not the name of the deputy commander who served as assistant and deputy commander of Aurelia. The downside is that he's more inclined to Zenobia than to the princess to serve, but that's not a problem because he knows Aurelia. Aurelia, whose leaders are far from loyalty, such as Falsa and Cecilia, can be said to have a wide range of meanings.

"When I look at you, I feel like I'm stupid."

"What? Praise me, I can't give you anything. Rather, you'll be quick to figure out how to use that wise brain miso to control Xenobia. I'll do whatever I can for Zenobia. ''

"Anything .. Well, first of all, could you use the situation when you were meeting with Zenobia?"

If Cecilia, who hates himself, can help. With the help of a collaborator who did not expect it at all, Falsa felt a little glimpse. Although the happiness of Zenobia and the true meaning of Duke of Pierre still remain unknown, Farsa acts to pull invisible thread. And beyond anything, Farsa has no intention of shunning Cecilia. Falsa's tenet is to use whatever is available and to act efficiently.
