35 Stories: "The Mad King's Step"
"Dear Hersim, the place and date of the next meeting of the Three Kings have been found"
"By the way, what country did you spill information from?
It's the kingdom of Zuria.
"- Damn, Kirishika's always sweet in places like this"
Harsim had received a report from Aisha that day.
With regard to the next "Three Kings Talks".
Harsim was willing to intervene in the alliance talks between the three countries.
"But well, other than that, you seem to be doing well, and no novels for one second? - Besides, I'm a better accessory."
Harsim had once 'broken into' a school in Iaus.
Unlike his brother, the First Prince and the Second Prince, Harsim was naturally neglected by his father, so he was not allowed to enroll in Iaus School or anything else.
So I broke in.
He took a lecture with no face.
The first prince, the second prince, had enough nerve and skill to do the trick so that he could not find it.
At the end of the day, Harsim, who had been found and stumbled upon, had done so for months, was probably an undercover undercover detective there.
And for such a harsim, the months leading up to the discovery of infiltration were also irreplaceable.
During those months, Harsim made a few friends.
Among them, he deepened his friendship especially with three friends who drifted without it.
A good guy who doesn't break the vibe of his skinny hair.
A big man with giant martial arts bones, but in his eyes a light of quiet kindness.
Finally, a beauty with a cold beauty, never inferior to exaggerated praise with Reiman Tsukishi. She was a woman who always had a blue colour and wouldn't dare hide the 'thorn' of her tight on the beautiful flowers.
It is only later that we learned that such three friends were, in fact, candidates for succession to the Three Kingdoms.
The Ioath School had a custom of trying to distract the impeccable, such as political schemes, in order to make the development of pure scholarship a priority over anything else.
For this reason, it was often assumed to conceal the masquerade's name and identity.
So it was a coincidence that Harsim became friends with them, but on the other hand, the fact that the story of culture and landscape was common because the birth houses are between neighboring countries may also be the reason why we actually felt comfortable.
But Harsim, unlike them, was not a legitimate successor.
Still, when he later found out that his friends had sat at the table of the Three Kings meeting in an attempt to renew the times, he was secretly pleased in the shadows.
Then, after the three kings' talks, they changed the policy of the three kingdoms that had begun to come to the Mooseg, and once again struck a clear statement that they would stand up (tight) the kind of noble hold that Lemuse once put forward, so the exaltation of Harsim increased even more.
We had heard stories like that at school, but such stories with each other wearing masks are halfway between talking and listening. It was often said in a way that was neither serious nor joking.
But there Harsim was convinced.
- I meant that.
At the same time, I wanted to say "well done" to them.
But I couldn't tell you.
I wasn't even in a position to say - I wasn't there.
Now is the time to decide on a coup d 'état, Hersim, but naturally at first, like the protests of that time, he managed to persuade his father King Remusse with words.
I honestly didn't regret the very action Mizu had taken, but when I thought of the backs of the three of them who had walked far ahead, it seemed like it was something that had taken a long time.
"Um, can I still leave you alone?
"Oh, that's okay. I'd rather have them swim more."
Huh, Aisha called me, and Harsim came back all the way back now.
"It may be useful at this time for my father to be a fool king from whoever he sees it. A foolish king who could be foolish will surely have no other father. If you push that far, you won't even suspect it."
What my father King Remusse showed Mooseg might instead be used to soothe Mooseg's feet.
At first there was also a passion for "right now," but as a result Harsim stayed in his mind.
I've been whispering to you that the calm part should take advantage of this situation.
"Make my father a hiding place. While we can hide like this, let's do all we can. Intrusion into the Three Kings talks is one of them.
Until then, do not be noticed. To the inner forces, to the outer forces.
... Especially on the inside, because when I try to do something, I just get up here. "
Harsim smiled small and bitterly, remembering the faces of his father and brothers who followed him ill as he flew his spit (Tsuba) to glory.
"Well, that's why I care a lot about cover-ups and infiltrations, both inside and out."
"I'll take care of it. We will surely bring Hershem to the occasion of the meeting, as the darkness reigns throughout the night."
By Harsim, Aisha showed a streamlined greeting.
Harsim's mouth was spinning a purposeful irony as she floated "beautiful" inside the trick.
"It's like I'm something."
"Be patient"
"I know, I know."
Harsim smiled bitterly again and waved gently at Aisha.

"Oh, and tell the Reynalds to hurry the excavation of the example deposits. If you dig the demon stone out of that demon stone deposit, you might be able to use it for something. No, I would use it eighty-nine out of ten. If you look at the trend in the developing Kushana kingdom of the machine surgery industry, you can see what Mulan is hitting on. Probably something about Demon Stone."
"Demon Stone, is it"
"That's right. I was informed that there was a bias in the merchant's merchandise entering and leaving the Kingdom of Kushana. The Marquise Mule's observational eye is utterly miserable."
A demonic stone is a stone that, as its name suggests, contains magic.
Ore containing spermatozoa.
It's basically a magic magic element that does it in the body of an organism, but the Demon Stone rarely siphons magic into its inorganic body.
When it comes to ore and ground, it is easy to think of the geomechanical system supplied from the ground vein, but within the boundaries of ore, the Demonic Stone was a somewhat peculiar thing to indulge in magic.
But for those who use magic as a magic spell of the surgical ceremony, I thank them above all.
Even depending on the difference in spermatozoa, the spermatozoa changes performance, and may not even be activated unless the formula is modified to suit the nature of the spermatozoa in the first place.
Therefore, in the vast majority of magician neighborhoods (cute), magic stones were treasured more than other magic stones.
"I accept your message to Uncle Reynald."
"Oh."
After Harsim snorted, Aisha opened her mouth small again for a little while. - but that mouth closes again without saying a word.
I'll tell you or not, it was the kind of trick that bothered me at the rink.
"What's up, Aisha? Say it."
But Harsim didn't miss the trick.
When this happens, Aisha doesn't have the option of telling me.
Never spit out the words I had left on its chest.
"- But these days, your father's subordinates seem to be complaining far-fetched. Maybe there's someone who's starting to take care of it."
As Aisha, I didn't want to give Harsim any more hard work due to such an uncertain element of anxiety.
On the other hand, even if these endless anxiety elements do not become later sparks.
As a 'samurai' I want to keep my mouth shut for my husband.
As a "secret detective," I want to keep my husband well informed.
Aisha excelled in both respects, but it was therefore a concern.
"How far can you spare me?"
"Yes. - How shall I tell Uncle Reynald?"
"Right...... tell him I can get my hands on it if he seems too persistent. Well, to be as slow to discover as you can. - Flies that just flock to rights must be crushed."
Aisha didn't miss the brutal colors in Harsim's face.
The colour only appeared on the surface for a moment and soon disappeared somewhere.
"When it comes to my father, I wouldn't notice if it weren't for the table. Even if I realized it, I wouldn't try to do anything on my own because it's kind of problematic. So you should be concerned about the people around you."
It is because he has been with us for many years that Harsim has little doubt about King Remusse's principle of conduct.
I don't have to assume that my father would take any major action as a possibility, but where I did, it wouldn't be a busy thing for my father to think about.
It's just...
"... it would be troublesome to get tipped off outside the country.... Okay, let me know if you make that move. I won't kill you, but I'll tie you up early."
Harsim said so with a serious look, then continued with a slight soothing look.
"- Well, now that I know that, I wouldn't mind Mouseg in particular. I don't even bother to take one or two of those deposits from Lemuse."
Mooseg will no longer mind Lemuse either. There was such a sure stained anticipation in Harsim.
It's like it was brought to life because it's a poor country that doesn't usually benefit from taking it away.
If you take it altogether, you have to allocate people to maintain the land.
Harsim had expected that King Mouseg would have troubled it.
Mooseg and the military talent are not infinite.
Then they will take it at any time, so they dare not break the will of the local people of Lemuse, but ask them to look for the benefit of the land that they do not know may or may not remain so, and if they have time to do so.
"... I guess that's the place"
But I wasn't at all relieved, either.
Assuming Mooseg decides to drop the Three Kingdoms at once, he might want the land of Lemuse to create a base for the pinching.
Because from Mooseg's home country and Lemuse, it is easy to destroy the three countries in between.
The status quo where Mooseg is flying his forces north and west to gain strength, such elements still have to be considered,
"When King Mouzeg is convinced that he can frustrate the entire power of the Three Kingdoms, will he reverse it all at once?"
Perhaps the time limit is there.
"... we have to do something before then"
Harsim narrowed his eyes as he put on his cheek and slapped his cheek several times with the fingers of those who made it that wand.
If you start thinking about it, you don't have a chili.
We're all talking about possibilities.
It is the state in which it is important.
Lemuse is now in a state of transparency. Lemuse has no color.
It was inferred from the fact that it was not as if it were in Mooseg's sight.
What caused this state of affairs was the stupidity of my father, King Remusse, to hide what.
Now that I think about it, Harsim thought with a smile that the meaningless' Kazuki 'might not have been anything but bad.
"- Haha, maybe Lemuse's creation of a situation where he doesn't care if he's in this way or not will be described by historians later as' the greatest feat of being that fool king '"
King Museg may have thought once again, "There seems to be no problem leaving this king alone at all".
That's how Harsim laughed and said the words became true later.
"Speaking of which, what's the Demon King line of examples?
Harsim asked about the most important thing.
"No, nothing yet. As Harsim expected, there was no trace of the eastern city closest to Lindholm Spiritual Mountain. Residents need to see unusual visitors, etc."
"- Hmm, hmm. That's about as reassuring as I am when I find out I'm going to turn my head. - Then I wonder if I went through the" Principality of Neus-Gaus "or the" Republic of Tot. "
"We're sending people to both"
"Well, that's fine if you don't find me in Mooseg and other demon king hunting and propulsion countries for a while, but you just want to get in touch early and tell them to come to Lemuse in the right way."
That said, Hersim put his hand on his chin and roared at the thought.
"- And then, what route do we follow from Neus-Gaus?...... I wouldn't be heading to Mooseg just now. That's enough to get away with it, so the prediction is whether to detour south or come straight east"
"In the northeastern direction, as we aim for the Three Kingdoms, don't we?"
"Probably. We're not going to the Three Kingdoms."
Harsim turns his mind.
"It's better than the Demon King hunting and promotion country, but there's also a catch in the Mitsuzu country. If those who know it are in the line of the Demon King, they will want to avoid the Three Kingdoms if they can."
Thoughts about the catch also made the look of nature and harsim sinister.
"The Three Kingdoms have had their hands on it once.... to a place very similar to the Demon King hunt.
Now I'm passive on the Demon King hunt, and I tell him to stop again at the Three Kings meeting, but the fact that he still invaded that area once doesn't go away. It's history. "
Harsim knew that the Three Kingdoms had their hands on something similar to the Demon King hunt.
At the time, I met Mooseg's abrupt inverted offense, and I felt nasty, but it's true that I got my hands on something dangerous like that.
"Be it not 'hunting', well, but something similar..."
To be precise, he drove the descendants of the Demon King, who lived in hiding in the Three Kingdoms, to the battlefield somewhat obliviously.
So compared to a demon king hunt that would kill the demon king for later grief, there is still salvation.
In the end, however, it was a matter of being indulgent and of 'letting the demon king die' there.
As a result, a body like the Demon King hunt surfaced there.
No, but no.
Such a subtle difference.
Even if Lemuse is in such a disadvantageous situation, it is said that he is stupid because he did not reach out to the Demon King, but Mitsukuni was not an idiot, so he must have taken the means.
In fact, thanks to the power of the Demon King who used it that way, the Three Kingdoms are pushing back the Rigiri Mooseg.
"Perhaps it is the fate of wartime that we must continue to conceive of contradictions. Because I don't think we should ask for the time to absolve ourselves of our deeds."
Harsim was looking out the window with sad eyes.
myself, perhaps, for drawing the Demon King into Lemuse, even if he held on to the body of the deal there.
- If I let the Demon King die, I guess it's the same thing in the end.
As soon as that happened, Harsim understood that he would completely scratch Remusse's proud possession with his hands.
If it fails, it is hell.
You can't just win.
While saving the Demon King, we must win.
He said he needed the power of the Demon King to counter Mooseg in the first place.
- So trying to help the Demon King is a total downfall.
But nevertheless, we must cross over its thin, thin line (s) in the headwind.
Reasons (sayings) knitted like lines are unreliable and are likely to be cut off at any time by a fierce wind in the name of contradiction.
- But I'll show you across.
Harsim looked only at the front.
That's how Harsim's figure of trying to cross over a dangerous line could have looked like a madman from around him.
From what I can't see what's on the other side across that line, I might have looked like a stupid fanatic chasing the idol of God.
But only Harsim did not doubt that he could see the 'view' he wanted on the other side of the line.
The man who was later called "Mad King" by some was steadily about to take the next step on the outline that day.
