Jennan, a prestigious nobleman of the Empire, and his wife, Elena, the Duke of Algrey, spill such stupidity with every recent occurrence that she has long disliked.
Even though it was tough to be born with gray hair and odd eyes, an ominous symbol for the Imperial nobility, Shirley, the eldest daughter who gave birth about thirty years ago, grew up as a beauty bearer unlike Jenna or Elena.
It may have been good if it had been a pawn in a political marriage to another country, but the appearance that resembled neither of the parents put a crack in the couple's companionship for a time, and even repairing it was despised by the nobles around him as having produced the dreaded rebirth of the Grey-haired Ghost (Haku). Even though it has been a narrative grass among the old aristocrats in recent years, the events of yesterday have made it possible to talk about it among the young aristocrats.
Precisely Shirley is the plague god who summons misfortune to the flourishing Algrey family… is the recognition of two people who, until birth, were eagerly awaiting the birth of their conceived child.
"Serve the Mansion without rest! Just put it down and think I'd appreciate it!... at all, something that you are throwing away if not a nasty law...!
"What is it, the hallway! The corners are dirty! Why can't I clean like I was told, you stupid picture!
That's why both Jenna and Elena hit Shirley so hard that they didn't think she was their real daughter. I did not allow her to be educated or treated as an aristocratic maid, and if I raised her to some extent, I used her as a servant or servant.
Even in such a bad environment, Shirley was becoming more and more beautifully polished as if to nourish the misadventure, and the abuse of the two was to be applauded.
"Alice is really adorable compared to that tough Shirley"
'That's right. This girl could be the future queen, I'm sure.'
On the other hand, they adored Alice, their second daughter, who was born similar to themselves. I showed Alice everything she wanted, as if to clear up her frustration for what she hadn't done to her eldest daughter, and if Alice didn't like it, she kept them all away.
Such a pretty daughter can be the most precious woman in the empire, the queen. Believe it or not, it was Shirley who was actually chosen as the Crown Princess.
"I wonder what time and where and how you seduced His Highness!? I was starting to do that before I knew it. What a dirty daughter!?
When the current emperor Alberto was a boy, when he visited the residence of the Duke of Algrey with his parents, the former Emperor and his wife, Elena summoned and scattered a whimper that night when he brought Shirley in front of his parents and the Dukes of Algrey to "make this child his fiancée".
From Shirley's point of view, it's all the same, but for Jenna and Elena, the Queen thought from the bottom of her heart that her beloved Alice was the one who deserved it. If it was Shirley who crushed that aspiration, it was also impossible for the two of them to be so angry that their bowels were about to boil back.
"Why!? Your father and mother said I would marry the prince!
"Oh, Alice. My sweet Alice. Please don't cry...!
'It's okay. Your father will do something about it. "
If we talk profitably, it would be a pleasure for the Duke family for Shirley to be welcomed into the royal family. But then it should be okay for Alice to be welcomed by the royal family, and it would only be disgraceful if she gave it to her daughter-in-law, such as her daughter, who has no such education. At any rate, it is decided that they will soon be sent back, and it was at that time that I was going to accompany Alice to the Crown Princess, but the thought will be overshadowed by Shirley, who has no other choice.
"Her daughter is amazing. Gentle to the heart, once seen and heard, it absorbs fully any difficult manoeuvres and knowledge, and most importantly, the appearance is very beautiful. I'm looking forward to having my grandson."
"... I am afraid, Your Majesty."
Knowing for the first time what was needed and the joy of being accepted, Shirley had built up her efforts for Alberto, the only other reason, to live up to the expectations of the royal family.
After less than two years, his daughter, who had not received a proper education, became praised as the next queen, and from the royal family, who regarded "The Grey Haired Ghost" as a hero, his appearance similar to that of a revolutionary, was also a factor that kept Shirley from the royal family.
Shirley, adorable as her real daughter to the royal family, was unable to give a bad hand even in the earliest Duke's position, and she and her daughters tasted the days of humiliation enough to bite her back teeth off.
'... too perfect a fiancée, huh? It feels a little heavy to me.'
Heaven, however, sided with the Dukes of Algrey and Alice at the end. Alberto, who should have chosen Shirley as his fiancé himself, became more beautiful and competent than he was, and he began to hold a complex against Shirley, who had grown so much that Alberto had nowhere to beat him.
Alice didn't miss that gap. Neither Jenna nor Elena know what kind of interaction there was between them, but what matters is that Alice took Alberto's heart from Shirley and Alberto himself became annoyed with Shirley.
From there it was fast. The Emperor and his wife, Philia of the Empress, were targeted for the gap of absence, and Shirley, who had been wronged, was tortured scatterly in the dungeon and was about to be killed.
Once boasting a beauty that was just dazzling, Shirley was made into a body full of ugly scars without a shadow to see, and Jenna and Elena laughed as if they saw something dirty in their eyes, not to exaggerate when they said it was over as the earliest fiancée of the royal family, as a courtier, as a woman.
- Oh! Oh! It's finally neat!
Such words would come to mind if they briefly represented the two inner hearts of the time. Shirley was so hated by the time we pushed Alice, who was cute to us, and promised to be welcomed by the royal family, to behave more resolutely at height than we were. … regardless of the fact that she is the daughter of a connected fruit of blood.
Shirley then broke out of jail leaving an inexplicable element and disappeared, but Jennan and the others didn't feel much of a problem around it.
Though there were excessive twists and turns, Alice was welcomed safely as queen, and the Duke's house was crowded with a bright voice and a smile, not to mention a feast on a daily basis.
... Yes. At this time, no one in the Algrey family anticipated what would happen next.
A woman named Shirley disappeared from the empire... and whoever disparaged her didn't realize what the hell that fact would cause.
Time flies, contemporary. The faces of Jenna, Elena, and the Duke of Algrey residence will be aware of the damage they will suffer as Shirley disappears for the first time.
Summer is over, autumn. Freed from the twitching and skin burning sunshine, the wind rushing through began to mix with coolness.
For adventurers, Autumn Mouth is time to make money. Some demons are enlivened during this period, including the fact that fewer adventurers were inactive due to the heat.
In the alpine mountains, the snow queen will be ready for the coming winter. In the swamps, the giant bear swallows the giant bears (not to mention), which went wild in preparation for hibernation. Human trees that parasitize organisms and sow seeds that uproot and suck up host nutrition strip ecosystems and people of their teeth.
"Don't make me go that way!! Lead them south. Ooh!!
And even in the borderline city located in the south of the kingdom, the crisis of demons that revitalize in those autumns is quite small and as close to every year. And this year's crisis is really huge.
… in the sense of danger or appearance.
"Damn! I can't believe Titern woke up all of a sudden!!
Pushing through the vast plains are giants the size of giant castles. Among them was a species called Titern.
I told you earlier, not all giants are called demons. As with culturally developed species such as humans, subhumans, and demons, there are giants who build advanced civilizations and interact with multiple races.
But such giants are at best about the size of a private house, and there is no one with a giant body like Titern.
And the biggest difference between a giant who interacts with humanity and a giant who is now being attacked as a demon in this way. That means the latter have a preference for eating human flesh.
In addition, if we become mad without intelligence, it would be natural for us to be defined as demons, even if they are similar to mankind. It is only natural that adventurers should come and attack the city with all their might.
■■■■■■■■
"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?
The damage would be too great if such a giant greeded human flesh and sent it to the city. The Adventurer Guild immediately dispatches an adventurer, and the adventurers who look like Titern at least enter into sorcery to direct them to an unpopular place, trying to turn their consciousness on themselves, but for Titern, it's like being gathered by featherworms.
"What hard skin! I can't believe magic doesn't even scratch you!
"Eyes! Aim for your eyes! That way you can do damage to this big fat ass too!
"I'm doing it! But the eye position is too high for magic...... wow!!
Sorcery and bows and arrows are inhibited on hard skin, and the eye, which is a steep point of stripping, is also too high to hit. Besides, Titern's one-by-one throw is just a threat. Its walking shakes the earth, causing a fierce wind even if it just waves its arms gently.
I can't even get close to a melee position. As it is, I will allow myself to advance to the city. Those were the adventurers staring at Titern's face as he bit his teeth... but a new demon enters his sight.
"Is that... the Winged Dragon of the Alliance?
A dragon that wears a wax, a saddle, or a wax, and drives people through the sky. Demons are low dragon-riding dragons (Rangits) that are kept by the hands of men, even demons.
Could it be reinforcements from the Alliance…… I thought so, a shadow jumped from the heavenly dragon rider (Rangitz).
"Buh!? Danger!!"
Naturally, if you jump off that height, you're not free. Behind the worries of such adventurers, the white shadow jumping from the pterodactylus draws a diagonal orbit and falls in a straight line to the neck of the Titern.
Rather than jumping…, he scaffolded the belly of a rider dragon (Rangitz) and headed for Titan. And the white shadow scratches between Titern's fingers and his fingers, flashing a giant thick neck with a sword in his hand as he passes by.
"If so, stupid............!? Are you saying you slit that fat neck with your sword............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Shortly after he raised his voice, his neck and torso cried apart, falling to the ground as blood erupted from the cross section. Showing off a light landing that didn't make you feel gravity toward the rocking ground was a white shadow with a giant's neck amputated under one knife... the most beautiful gray-haired woman in the world with red and pale eyes.
"This completes eleven demon crusades. … there will be time for my daughters to return, and I will do a few more crusade requests."
A woman with white skin, clothes, hair... Shirley pays off blood creeping into her sword.
"This season is tough... but I will never let this kind of demon get in the way."
She had vigorously undertaken a demonic crusade in the past few days, if only with time. Sometimes he beats on his personal belongings and rides around exchanging dragon rides (langits), crusading demons close to the border city from one end to the other.
If anything you don't know sees it, you'll honor it as an adventurer's book that protects people from demonic threats... but the thoughts of the person are separate.
"Yes… the private school sporting event is now open."
From the premise, as a Shirley, it's basically a matter of demonic growth or whatever. Anything is fine as long as my daughter is safe.
But I can't have demons gushing this season. At any rate, there will be an annual sporting event that I look forward to more than my daughters who are participants.
