"Dear Hilmera, I'm back now"

"Welcome back. Is that blood back?

Master Hilmera often runs oddly in his own room. Sometimes surrounded by stone statues and spooky laughter, or painting that painting remembering Master Washekt like he did today...... and poor.

"Yeah, do you even use it for paint?

"You don't use impurities to draw your brother. Oh, but that's not a bad idea... But I can't ask your brother to share the blood..."

I don't like my blood.

"Your blood is not impure either. My blood would be acceptable."

I'm a little scared of Master Hilmera looking at my arms. This guy doesn't get lost when he makes a decision because it's awesome. Maybe you should let the caregivers' maids arrange more bandages.

"If you're going to do it, get ready to stop the bleeding."

"Um, I knew it wasn't. 'Cause, you see, using red isn't the underlying part of your skin tone? If you mixed my blood in there, you wouldn't be able to call that your brother, would you?

"I don't think we can call Hilmera-sama very much Washekt, even if we use our own blood."

"You don't understand art. A painting isn't just a portrayal of what it looks like."

So, Master Washekt? shows a painting depicting the I just don't care what people look like, and even I would scream if I came across something like this at night.

I'm just crazy about the painting, but I don't feel crazy about the painting itself. It is the figure that is distorted, but the more it is, the more it is conveyed that it is like a form of mind that manifests Master Washekt for Hilmera.

"I'll tell you what I'm gonna tell you."

"You must be, you must be"

"But, Mr. Hilmera, these abstract paintings are techniques performed by people who have painted out pictorial paintings, right? I thought it might be a way to escape because I don't have the skill to draw on two melons."

"I'm going to paint your paintings as pictorial paintings now. I think I'll get you a barrel of blood."

"Wow. Master Hilmera's paintings are wonderful. It conveys the thoughts and feelings that Master Washekt has."

Master Hilmera throws silently the knife he uses to stretch the paint. I'd like to take it, but my fingertips got dirty with paint. I want you to stop aiming at my face for now.

"So, aren't you a little grumpy today?

"Oh, you know what I mean? Actually, he was about to be killed."

Make reporting easy. According to Hilmera, the dark part, which is the other princes' handkerchief, was scraped, so I guess it's good news, but it's still a result of dissatisfaction for me.

Even though he acted assuming that he would be attacked from the beginning, it's actually something that made him want to pop up unexpectedly the moment he was caught in the collapse of a building in front of him.

Now you will fully understand Hilmera-sama's disgust with the princes who use Master Washekt.

"Do you really think I went for it?

"You're pretending. The goal would be to break his heart."

There's no way a target can be killed by the collapse of a civilian home more than with a guard familiar with magic enhancements. Their aim is to make him feel like he's being targeted for his life and to kill an operative in front of him who was in that close relationship.

"Do you think your heart will break?

"- You're sure you're hurt. But... I wouldn't have broken it."

"That's not your wish?

"If you're just saying what you want, I hope you don't mind."

He would undoubtedly have been heartbroken by Topala's death. I guess it was predictable that Topala would be used, and he was trying to get some distance at some point in time.

But it was too late. I watched too sweetly the princes' lack of hesitation in trumpeting useless incompetence. They didn't understand correctly that there was no point in respecting people's lives.

"Then will you finally be serious?

"I guess so."

That's how he lived his mind down. I know it was burning out once, but this world undone the heat he was smoking. Have a fever for someone and go ahead scorching that body. It is the way I am attracted to my heart, the way I want it to be.

But even with the consequences, my mind is getting upset. More than that, I treated him emotionally against Ilias, who remained beside him.

Because I mean it, there's no inconvenience in knowing it to him. I guess the problem isn't there, it's in the thoughts I'm growing in these breasts myself right now.

I should have thought I wouldn't mind the rush I had when I thought I might lose him, in a position to bypass...... gradually.

"By the way, is my painting that bad?

"You can only paint what you're painting."

Now the drawing board flew in.

Shige didn't seem disturbed, and he compiled the information we gathered without saying a word when Ilias returned.

If I were just mourning Mr. Topala's death, I could comfort you. If I had blamed myself for the cause of that man's death, I could forgive him for not.

If you saw anger there, if you saw a rush there, one of us must have thrown a word at you. But no one opens their mouth. I'm sure the reason for this is with the feeling I'm feeling.

"-Illias, did you get any information?

"Ah, oh. Shortly before I evacuated from that place, I felt the smell of blood. So..."

Ilyas told Moorsht that he had met after that. If I can do this, I want Shige to avoid talking about him now......

Shige checked the dark luggage he had received from Ilias, and then turned to us.

"Well, and... this raid, but they didn't mean to kill me. If you know what Ilyas and Wolfe are capable of, there's no way you can decide you can kill this one with the collapse of the house and the degree of arson. The specific aim would be to put mental pressure on Topala by killing him right in front of me."

"What about yourself?

To such a 'purple' question, Shige answers quietly without changing one complexion.

"It worked. I was stunningly attached to the sweetness I was showing halfway through, and frustrated my nose with the arrow tip I tried to put my back in."

"You look fine for that, don't you?

"If crying improves things, I'd like to cry right now."

A very unlikely face, an unpleasant dialogue. But what bothers me more than that is that Shige analyzes himself as if he were someone else.

"... yes. So, what are you going to do after this?

"Perhaps if we keep gathering information at this pace, the Princes' obstruction will concentrate on everyone, not 'me'. I want to avoid that."

"I guess we're running out of room to be choosing the means? If you want, I'll always use this power, okay?

"... I guess that's not bad either"

The person who looked most surprised by the word was' purple 'himself, who brought the suggestion. It's obviously odd that Shigeru says he doesn't mind bending it, even though it was a policy not to use his powers as a demon king.

"Oh, you honestly rely on me, don't you? You're a little surprised, aren't you?

"It's a people-to-people problem, so it's true that I wanted to respond within my power as a person if I could. But you can't make a sacrifice because of that detention."

"Yeah, I agree with that, don't I?

"" Purple, "I can't" cage in "collectively any more than the princes are wary of this one. Be one attack at a time. But if this one goes hard, some of the rest of the princes will come out thinking about escape. There is also a good chance that Larheit and his collaborators will be among them. We need to deploy the demons near the Serende border to track them down. How many days does it take to be perfectly handled?

"- You need to organize multiple squads with Butler Army as captain, right? Seven days would be enough, including sharing jurisdiction, grasping terrain, etc.?

"Then get ready."

"Hey, wait a minute!? Dear Mistletoe, are you really going to use the power of the Demon Kings!?

Everything Lachra wants to say is what we all think. Shige has explained the dangers of solving problems with the power of the Demon King many times before. Even if the power is immense, the effect of the result will also be the sword of the blades.

"I've decided that we need to set a time limit beyond saving everyone's life."

"Time limit?

"I didn't give up solving it with my power as a person. But if you just don't give up on being solid, you might make another sacrifice. So we're going to settle in the last seven days and we're going to act."

"So, can you?

Shige closed her eyes just a little as if she were thinking. And I slowly opened my eyes and made it clear.

"You just have to be ready. And 'I' have already decided to be ready."
