Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

52: The Trial of Muir

Still unresponsive to the words of the sun, the frustrated sun colour looks at the mill that remains pocahonous, and she gently decompresses with her right hand close to her small forehead.

"... ah"

Suddenly shocked by the shock on his forehead, Mimil was holding it down with both hands, but he did, and spoke slightly.

The sun-coloured ears definitely captured the voice.

(Phew, looks like it worked.)

But Mimil hasn't noticed, so he hastily writes on the paper.

Looking at it, I take up the color of the sun. It was obvious what I wanted to write.

Her hands turned towards the sun and she just stopped to tell her to return them.

Say it in words if you want it back.

─!

You know what I can't tell you, so I stare at you with my own eyes.

Nevertheless, my eyes are woolly and my eyes are slightly tearful, so I'm not scared at all.

"Look, I don't like people who don't give a shit about kids. Say it hurts if it hurts. Say it's painful if it hurts. If you have something you want to do, say it. At least the kid I know is more honest with himself than you."

I can't write, so I can't say what I want to say. Mimil bites my lower lip in regret. The color of the day when I saw her like that, I sighed lightly and held the board by my side.

And ----------Puni.

I picked both cheeks of Mimil and pulled them to the left and right.

"Hi, hihi! Hihiahhhhh!"

"There you go, voice."

"... to...? Ah... eh?

Mimil stumbled on his throat and didn't seem to hide his confusion about what he thought he was saying.

I was puzzled by moving my eyeballs little by little. Her time had stopped for a while, but ignored her and the sun went on.

"Look, don't tell anyone that I'm the one who brought your voice back."

Mimil showed her what she was talking about. I don't want you to make a big deal of this time about the color of the day. Because it's obvious that you're in trouble.

"Eh... well, why...?

"No questions asked. From now on, I will unilaterally. And you answer. Convince me."

Mimil nodded back to me as if he was being pressured by his speech.

"Okay, first of all, I'm guessing you're related to the royal family, right?

I am not an ordinary person at a time when I am allowed to relax alone in the garden of King Tree. That's what I think of Japanese colour.

Lilith, the princess of [Victorias] who summoned herself, had a similar way of dealing with others. In view of the atmosphere, it was decided that he was probably a royal child.

"Yes, yes. My name is Mimil King."

I whisper at the name without thinking.

(Whoa, the King's name was certainly Leowood King. So... this was bigger than I thought.)

I thought he was royalty-bound, but I didn't expect him to be the king's son.

I never thought I'd let a princess play alone in such a place. I don't know how safe this place is...

(Well, I guess that's all the security in this country is good.)

Think about it and put the following questions into words.

"As I said before, it's a secret that my power has cured you. Don't tell me you met me here in the first place. I don't know why it's healed, but tell the others. Ready?"

"So why...?

I told you, I don't have any questions.

I looked down sadly at the attitude of not letting you say the presence or absence of sun color.

Mimil thanked him and did what he couldn't do. I would like to invite you to King Tree officially. But there was something I thought about.

(Ah, yes. This is Mr. Ghost. It was invisible to everyone....)

So I decided that the sun color was telling me not to talk stubbornly.

But in fact, the color of the day was in a hurry. Following the tingling from instinct, I tried to regain Mimil's voice with momentum, but even if I did such a thing to ordinary people, it would be more important if I became a princess.

If this is known, the royal family of this country will undoubtedly see the color of the sun. I suppose it was because I wanted to avoid being deprived of my liberty that I kept my mouth shut to Mimil.

"I'm going now. If I stay here, I'm going to get into trouble."

"Ah, wait a minute..."

"Look, be honest and glad it's healed. That's the kid. But don't tell anyone about me."

Tell him to put it on Mimil's words. And I write the same "Transparent" text as I did when I came here.

"Ah, your name! Just tell us your name!

Mimil shouted desperately thinking that was all. Answer with your back pointing to the sun.

"I don't need it"

That said, the color of the sun becomes transparent. But Mimil's eyes still show a clear and sunny presence. The sun colour runs as it is and leaves the scene.

"Ahhh!"

I tried to stop him, but the color of the sun quickly fell out of Mill's sight.

With his head down, Mimil learns sadness and narrows his eyes.

(I couldn't say anything... thank you and your name... even though you gave me a very big present...)

It is so great that no one else can give it. I lost it once, and I had no hope of getting it back where I desperately wanted it.

It was impossible. That was the common sense in Mimil.

But the color of the sun broke its common sense most easily and gave Mill back his precious things. I wanted to thank you. I wanted to know your name. And above all, I wanted to talk more.

I noticed that the board that the sun color should have taken from the mill was falling on the ground, and I picked it up and opened my eyes.

I owe you this. I'll get it back one day. Don't forget. "

I didn't realize when it was written, but I said "yes" with a small voice. That's right, it's invisible to everyone, so someday I'll carve it into my heart to repay myself.

(Ghost......)

"I see, that Laraseek trial... and the fruit of the big tree." It's a pretty nasty trial. I wonder what you're thinking. "

When the concert told First Princess Kuclear what Muir Castrair and the others had come to King Tree, she was pointing her tongue at Larasik's challenge.

"You don't have to do any trials, you just have to watch your studies. I'll tell you what, Muir."

"Ah, well... this challenge... is what I want."

"Really? But you don't know anything about Daiki no Hayashi?

"Yes, I was told to look for it myself and find it and get it."

"But," the fruit of a tree "..."

Master Ku, you can't go any further.

"No, why live?

"Muir seems prepared, so why don't you leave it to him?

"Well, if you know what Daiki's Fruit is, that's very..."

A trick is to keep your index finger up and bring it to your mouth to keep quiet.

"Anyway, allow Muir to walk through the Tree of Kings. If anything happens, this concert will be my responsibility."

"... okay. Well, I don't even look like a bad boy, and I don't care. Muir, I will grant you permission to stroll through the Tree of Kings."

"Ah, thank you!

"Anold and the others are answering."

"I wonder if that's how it's gonna be...."

Anold drops his shoulders to watch out for the show.

"Of course, right? This is a trial for Muir, so what will your people do with your help?"

"... Muir, are you okay alone?

"Yes! I will definitely get Daikoku's Fruit, so wait here with everyone! Whi, Honeymar, and Hyiro...?

Always a heartless boy who can't be found anywhere to look. We were supposed to be here together, but sometime we were gone.

"Uncle?

"... I don't know about Hyiro either."

"Really?

"Ahh... maybe you're exploring the King Tree? I've noticed he's been gone for a while, but I'm guessing he's acting on his own again. Well, basically, you don't want to stand out, and you don't do anything stupid."

Muir agrees with Anold and says, "I see."

And he said, "Well, did Wei realize Hylo was gone?

"Nh... I came out and said,"

"... I don't know why I only tell Wei."

"I wanted to go too, but I said I'd go alone, so I'm a little sorry..."

Winka shook her eyes in loneliness.

"He... really has to do something extra."

"Tell them to come back if they see you!

"Oh, be careful."

Yeah!

Muir was dropped off by everyone and went on a quest for The King Tree.

Larasik told me - "The fruit of the tree."

From Kukli's attitude, I got the impression that something was difficult, but all Muir could do was find it first.

"Even so, where did Hyiro-san go..."

He is truly lazy and disappears as soon as he leaves his eyes. I hope there's nothing wrong, as Anold says.

I kept searching for the "King Tree", but I couldn't find a clue. Maybe you should ask someone.

I thought it would be easier for me to talk to someone, and as I was moving my gaze as I walked, I found two stairs. As I climbed up, I saw the sunlight coming in.

"... outside?

When I came out, it was a spacious garden. A pleasant sky spreads over the sky, and lush flowers and crops can be found in front of you.

But there was the first of them.

It 's-- it's a girl.

(Wow, she's cute. That? But why do you have a child...)

Your age will be lower than yours. However, the atmosphere surrounding it seems like an adult, or it conveys a sense of quiet and melancholy.

"... fufu, it looks like you're not a ghost this time."

"Eh... Mr. Ghost?

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was suddenly indiscretive to the first person I met. My name is Mimil King. If you don't mind, please tell me your name."

..................................................................? Did you just say Mimil King? King... gu?

It was there that I understood for the first time that the opponent was apparently quite a big one. Yes, this is in King Tree. There can't be a normal child.

The name of the “King” named after the First Princess, Kukli. In other words, what is between us now is undoubtedly the presence of royal blood.

"Um, what's wrong?

"Ha, ha ha ha!? I'm sorry I came here all of a sudden, princess!

Tighten your body and breathe. Mimil smiles at such a mure.

"Fufu, please make it normal. Would you like to be friends with Mimil?

Muir glanced at Mimil's hand, which suddenly reached out. Unexpectedly, he looks back at the other person's face and points to his own. Mimil agrees with me.

(Eh, yeah, okay? I mean, it's the princess!? And yet...)

But no same-sex friends were close to Muir's generation. Though I wanted it, I didn't have the opportunity.

That's why I thought one day, but I don't think the princess suddenly had a friend... isn't the hurdle expensive?

"Mimil doesn't have many friends, so if you don't mind,"

Mimil smiled kindly and waited for Muir's answer. I can't refuse a sincere offer.

There is absolutely nothing to be unhappy about. I would rather say Muir too.

"Ah, this is it! It's an honor!

"Fufu, by the way, the Muir-sama..."

"Sa, ma'am!? Hold on, hold on!

Huh?

"Ah, you know, it's good to wear it."

"Ha, what should I call you?

"You don't mind if I throw you away!

"Fufu, please also refer to Mimil as Mimil. Of course not."

"Ehhhh!?

I think the hurdle is too high for me, Muir shouts.

"If you can't call me, Mimil will call me Muir."

"Eh... ah... uuu ~..."

Oops. Muir spiralled confusion in his head when he was in great trouble.

Mimil laughs a little louder or funny as he sees Muir like that.

"Ahahah, you're an interesting person. Please call me by your name."

"Um... um... okay... Mimil..."

Yes, Muir.

Muir's heart softened as she felt that the princess had called out her name.

"Yeah, but I told you! I told you to call me Princess!

Muir's technique of roaring with his head in his arms seemed strange, and Mimil was also overflowing with laughter.

"Don't worry about it. Besides, if possible, please stop honoring me in this kind of place. I'm glad he's your friend."

I am very pleased with the offer, but the opponent is a princess. It's not impossible to be confused.

(Ugh... I'm glad you made friends, but I'm still nervous ~)

Apparently, the princess has a pretty tough personality. That's Kuklir's sister, who seems to be strong.

"... I understand... yeah, I understand. Mimil-chan..."

I tried to narrow down my last words more courageously than before.

Then Mimil broke his face with joy. The look on her face relieves Muir in earnest.

Mimil then moves his mouth with his hands together.

"Today is a really happy day. I met him, and I could sing again. And this is how we made friends."

Mimil shook his shoulders and Muir responded. Somehow I noticed a little tingling in my chest.

"Ah, that guy...?

"Hmm? What is it, Muir?

"Eh, ah, um... can I ask... that person...?

Mimil made his ears tingle and showed a reaction, but Muir didn't notice.

"Ah, yes. Um... it's like a dream, but there was something a little one-sided about someone who was very clumsy, but I'm very grateful."

Looks like you're feeling an unusual amount of gratitude for the person.

"So, you're talking about what happened in your dreams?

Yes, that's right.

For some reason her eyes are swimming.... why?

"Who are you?

"Um... what are you saying... well, let me tell you something, Mr. Spirit, that will restore Mimil's voice."

"Spirits? Spirits in dreams? And what do you mean you got your voice back?

More and more questions arise. At the same time, the mill is getting rough and rough.

"Um, that's... um... Mua-chan's not from this country, is she?

"Yeah, I'm from the human world."

"Really? Great, Mimil wants to travel too."

"Ahahah, it's tough. But how did you know you weren't from this country?

"Don't be surprised if Mimil talks about it."

"... hmm? What do you mean?"

I think it's normal to be able to talk...

"Mimil couldn't make a sound the other day."

Mimil tells me you had a speech disorder. And I was told the story of the Spirit who cured the voice disorder.

(... yes? You had a voice disorder when you were a kid, and you've never been able to talk? But the spirits that appeared in your dreams restored that voice with incredible healing magic? Mimil-chan, do you realize that you're talking too much flat...? It's like I'm making up something fuzzy about it....)

There is no sense of reality that spirits appear in dreams in the first place.

"Ah, you know, Mimil-chan, what kind of person is that spirit?

"That's right. I had a slightly unusual hair color. Is it black...?"

............ eh? Wait a minute...

And then you put on your glasses.

Black hair and glasses? That's...

The vague form of the Spirit in Muir seemed clear as a lie.

It's the look of a boy.

Hey, Mimil-chan

Yes?

"But maybe... you weren't wearing a red robe?

The expression of crisp and mill hardened.

And in an instant, I grabbed Muir's hands with my own hands, and the atmosphere that had been calm until now changed, showing an excited expression.

"Mu, mua-chan!? Maybe you know!? You see the ghost too!

Looks like you're completely excited.

"Um, uh-huh... what?

"Tell me if you know him! Please!

I'm pleading with a serious look.

So Muir thinks.

-What? Mr. Ghost? Aren't they spirits?

It is a mystery why it suddenly became a ghost story even though it was said to be a spirit earlier.

"Red robe - yes, red robe! And he said he was coming with one of his friends!

Ahaa ~ Muir held his temples down with his fingers. That was enough.

(It's Hiiro-san... but what? What does a ghost mean?

I thought Mimil would tell me more now, so Muir decided to ask.

"Hey, Mimil-chan. That person is not a spirit... right?

"... eh?

"Because spirits don't wear glasses or red robes... right? Maybe."

"Ah...."

You think it's gone, Mimil rushes to shut his mouth. The cheeks are also bright red as if they were illuminated, and they are as cute as the rules. But he regrets his failure.

Mimir thought Muir was the one who saw the same ghost as herself and got excited and ran off. Even when you are an adult, you are still a child.

"Ah, well, uh, that's...."

I seem upset but desperately unable to come up with an excuse. Looking at it, Muir laughed, thinking he might have been like this the other day.

"It's okay, Mimil-chan. Someone I know a little bit."

"No, I knew you could see it!

"Eh... I don't know what you're talking about, but that guy is Hiiro-san, a neat garlic, ah, no, he's a beast. You're alive."

It was dangerous. I was in a hurry because I almost called myself a follower.

"Hee? Are you alive...? Besides, are you a beast...?

"Hmm? Why Mimil-chan thought I was a ghost is a mystery....?

"That's because....."

She apparently had a different vibe than the average person. It was so similar to the existence of a ghost that it was mistaken. The spirit is said to have been used for convenience.

"Speaking of which, he said he wasn't a ghost... I thought that was because you were a ghost who didn't realize you were dead... but maybe you were mistaken..."

Muir heard her whispering silently, but was surprised by her special ability to see ghosts in the first place. I thought vaguely that it must have been difficult since I was young.

Because if I see a ghost... I'm scared. At least I am.

"Hauu! What did Mimil say...?"

Covering his face with both hands, he looks as if his chest is full with shame. The cuteness of her makes me laugh.

"Ahahah, you're so cute, Mimil-chan."

"Hmm, I must apologize to him ~"

"You don't have to worry about Hiro because he's not mad at you for that."

I think it is more difficult to attract his attention than that.

(If you're not interested, you're really careless.)

I don't know how hard it has been... No, I'm still struggling.

"Ah, Muir, could you tell me his name again?

"Huh? Fine. His name is Hiiro Okamura. We've been traveling together."

"That's right, that's right!?

"Yeah, that's why I came here with you, but if Hiro was here, he'd be gone suddenly. I wonder where he went, and he was here."

"Ah, yes. I met Mimil here and talked to him a little bit."

"So, what happened then? Something like Hiro using magic."

According to what I heard, she couldn't make a sound, and she was asleep and healed. But Muir already knows it's a lie.

There is no doubt that the color of the sun restored her voice. But Muir was unaware of his mistakes.

Mimil slightly opened his eyes and nodded convincingly.

"After all, it was magic... That means he's still human, right?

"Eh... ahh!?

Muir raised his voice unexpectedly. I said I was magic, and I thought I'd found out because of it, and instantly blued my face. Because beasts can't use magic.

"Eh, ah, that's right... yeah, that was just a mistake. Ah, that guy called me" Magic of Decoration "and that's it..."

This is a rather painful excuse, but we must do something to deceive him.

I'm sorry if it turns out we brought humans here.

No, on the contrary, I felt a tingling pain when I thought it was my fault that caused trouble to the color of the sun.

But Mimir shook his head to the left and right as he understood Muir's thoughts.

"Fufu, don't worry about it. Mimir doesn't feel any hatred for the" human race "like the others."

"Huh? Ah... is that so?

"Yes, it's not the first time I've seen it. I'm a ghost."

For Mimil, who actually sees the plankton spirits of people who don't have beast ears or tails, it's not unusual.

"Hah... ghost..."

For Muir, the story of the ghost is still eyebrows and spits, but Mimil doesn't seem to care, so it is relieved that there is no problem if she keeps silent.

"The first time I saw him, he didn't even have ears."

"Wait a minute!

Muir shouted in a hurry when he heard words he couldn't abandon.

"Ke, no beast ears, really!?

"Yes, black hair, glasses and red robes. There was no beast ear or tail. Is that what it's all about?

Is that what this is? Lose your words when you look at the mill tilting your neck in a spiritual way.

Speaking of which, if I look back carefully, Mimil only says black hair.

Even though the color of my silver hair should be a little mixed up today...

(What do you mean? Are you sure you're back in the human race, Mr. Hiro?... but why?

Question comes to mind, but I can't find the answer. I don't think the sun can commit the foolishness of returning to the original place where there is such a beast royalty.

But in reality, Mimil is talking about what he looked like when he was a sunny man. I was wondering what the hell was going on.

"What's going on?

Mimil called out worried about the mure he was thinking about.

"Yeah! No, it's nothing!

"Really?

"Yeah! By the way, it was a black hair color... right?

"Yes, I've never seen you with more beautiful black hair. I was a little jealous."

Fufu, when I saw her laughing elegantly and well, Muir wondered why this was happening again. But it is still impossible to say that the color of the sun solves the magic.

(I have heard that from my uncle. It seems that some of the beasts who hold spirits rarely have the power to see the truth of the "Spirit Clan"....)

A "Spirit Clan" that can identify the essence of the person.

With that power, we may be able to see through the essence of Japanese color and understand that he is human. The fairies we've met before also say that the sun is human.

I've heard that some Wesen have such special abilities.

I don't know if it is Mimil, but I thought I should strongly tell Mimil not to say anything else about the sun color.

"Perhaps Muir knows his magic?

"Yeah, I know. Mimil-chan?

"Yes, thanks to that wonderful help, I was able to regain Mill's voice."

After all, Muir is convinced in his heart.

"Um... where is he now?

Hmm, I don't know.

Oh, is that so?

Muir smiles bitterly at the mill that leans down on his face.

"'Cause I thought it would be a lot of trouble if I stayed here any longer, so I thought I went somewhere and told Mimil-chan not to say anything else.

"Yes, that's right!

"I knew it. Then I might have left King Tree and gone back to the city. I don't like to stand out."

"... you know Muir-chan very well, don't you?

Well, I guess so. It was a short trip, but it was a series of surprises. "

I was particularly surprised about Japanese preferences and behaviors.

But I was able to know who he was.

"... I'm flattered."

"Mimil-chan?

"Mimil... I didn't even say thank you. As soon as Mimil's voice was healed, he went somewhere."

Ahahah, looks like Mr. Hiiro.

"Can't I see you...?

"Hmm... I know how you feel, but it's hard."

"Really? But you're one of them, right?

"Yes, but I'm really a freelancer. You're not listening to us, are you?"

I couldn't say that my uncle was always fishing for food.

Besides, even if we had a lavish meal, I don't think the sun will come back to King Tree now. Because if they find out with some kind of applause, it's important.

"I want to know more about him, but Hiro doesn't tell me much about himself. Well, there's something I haven't taught you either, so maybe it can't be helped....."

Your chest is pounding. Looking at the side of such a mure, Mimil gradually opened his eyes as if he had perceived something.

"But, Mua-chan... about that guy..."

"Huh? What?

As Mimil stared at her face without knowing what she wanted to say, Mimil suddenly grabbed her hand. Muir said, "Huh?" and looked back at her.

Mua-chan! Mimil can't lose!

"Hee... ah, well... yes?

I am confused that I cannot grasp what the declaration is.

"I mean... is Mua-chan admiring that guy?

"Oh, I admire you... eh? Uhhhhhhhh!?

Muir stood up and took a step back as he dyed his face bright red. I was stunned by the Mill that had thrown an incredible bomb.

"That way of surprising. That's true."

Mimil nodded convincingly and chewed his lower lip slightly as he gazed at Muir.

"Chi, chi, chi, chi, chi, chi. No! Hiro is like a big brother! That's why... um... that's why... ahh..."

While desperately denying not only his hands, but also his fuzzy tail, Mimil still looks suspicious.

(No, no! I don't care about Hiiro-san...!?

Your face feels hot. I shake my head desperately and shake off my thoughts.

I don't think I was conscious enough to say that... But suddenly Mimil told me, and considering the Japanese color, I feel that something slimy is born in my chest.

Whether this is love or not is uncertain for an inexperienced Muir. I can't deny it even though it's different. So I was shocked by Mimil's words and I was in a state of great chaos.

"I can't lose, Mua-chan!

"That's why I'm different!?

Muir decided to tell us what he wanted to do to get away from Mimir's pursuit.

" The fruit of the tree ......"

"Have you heard of it? That's a challenge, but I don't know where it is...."

"... I know."

"Really!?

"Yes"

"Can you tell me...?

Mimil glanced at me. A sharp glance that makes you feel like you're peeking deep into your thoughts.

"... please follow me"

But perhaps you'll take me to the place where the Daikoku is!

"... yes. Mimil only has eyes when he looks like this."

She is so cute that she smiles nicely. Unexpectedly hugging.

"Er... Mua-chan? What happened suddenly?

"Ah, yeah! It's just a little devilish."

She doesn't seem to understand, but if she had a sister, she would have wanted a child like Mimil.

Take Mimil up the stairs in the garden. The view of the city from the stairs is so clear that it stops breathing. A country where leaves of trees dance in the gentle wind.

The scenery that makes you feel happy heals Muir's heart.

"There's something Muir is looking for."

Mimil was guided to a dense area of tree leaves at the tip of a large branch. The leaves of the trees grow like clouds floating in the sky.

In the middle, we found something that was obviously a bird's nest. There were about two large eggs lined up in it, and I didn't see anything like a parent bird. There are only chicks and eggs.

"At this time of year, the parent bird of Pacionbird is looking for food, so if you can get it, it's now, Muir."

What did she just say...? Can you get it? What...?

"I think it will probably be a struggle when the parent bird returns. ----To protect the eggs."

"Wait a minute, Mimil-chan! Besides, I don't want eggs.

"The fruit of a tree - that's the egg of a pacionbird."

"Uhh... yeah. Because it's the fruit of a tree. Aren't they nuts or something?

"No. This Pacion Bird is also a monster we have spent together since the creation of King Tree. Pacionbird is said to be the guardian god in this country and an important presence for the Mills."

I've heard of Pacionbird from Anold.

It seems to be the bird that the First Beast King named when he created the [Passion]. Everything is connected by the soul of Pacionbird and the King Tree. If Pacionbird dies, the King Tree is also said to die.

Pacionbirds also have low fertility and rarely lay eggs.

That's why the born chicks are really cute to their parents. Although it is a long-lived existence, the King Tree also loses vitality every time a Pacion Bird dies.

"The official name is Seoul Bird. They are creatures that connect with rooted trees and souls. That's why the Mills are watching over them so they can live happily ever after. If the egg is born from a parent bird, it is proportional to the activity of the King Tree. It is like the fruit of this" King Tree ". That's why it's called" The Fruit of the Daikon Tree. "

"But even if I take the eggs, if I return them right away....."

"No, take a good look"

Mimil pointed at the bottom of the egg. There are branches that appear to be stretching and grasping.

"I've always received energy from this" King Tree ". If you leave the nest, you will die in a few minutes."

"Really?!?

Then what do we do? They finally found "The Fruit of the Tree", but if you take the egg, the egg dies. That means taking Pacionbird's life. At the same time, even the vitality of "King Tree"...

But if I don't get it, I won't be able to take the Larasik course Anold asked me to take. I don't know what it means to find a way to be strong...

(Uncle! What should I do?!?
