Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

A few days before the Japanese arrived in Pacion , the whole country was under tension in Magic Kingdom Haos .

It was because of the letter sent by the "Beast Clan" the other day.

The content is a resolution of the war.

In other words, it's a declaration of war.

Looking down from the terrace of Demon King Castle, there are many soldiers lined up to train there.

It is Yveam Grand Early Evening, King of the Demon King Castle, who is looking sadly at the sight of training for battle.

Beautiful, well-maintained blonde hair was caught in the wind, distorting sadly the straight face that remained a little young, and biting his teeth.

Kilia, who is quietly watching Yveam from behind, quietly opens her mouth.

"Are you sure?

…………

"If it stays this way, it will definitely be a war of annihilation."

"I know!

Yveam moans angrily to deny Kilia's words. But now that things had gone so far, I felt that there was nothing I could do.

"No way... the beasts are moving so fast..."

"No, I was expecting it"

"Kh...."

It's not like Yveam hasn't done anything before. I have sent a book of harmony in the same way as the "human race" many times. But they didn't accept it.

As one of the means, I thought I'd give my neck, but they said the Beast wouldn't stop.

That's why I tried to find other ways to at least have a conversation, but it all ended in vain.

"Why... this is a battle..."

"That's probably the most convincing form."

"What the hell! Why do we have to decide on strength! Strength is inherently superior and inferior! Isn't it better to argue in terms that everyone has equal access to than that? Above all, there's no blood!

"... how about that?

"What...?

I will only turn my eyes to the chilling denial of Kiria.

"The words are... light"

─!

"Sure, everyone will have it on an equal footing. But the word is empty from the beginning."

"It's empty...?

"Yes, in that emptiness, weighting creates persuasion for the first time. It is the power of words, not just the ear, but the blade engraved in the brain. But does His Majesty have a word of weight that would avert war?

"Well, that's...."

"If this is a dialogue for negotiations, such as business, in a peaceful world where there is no war, you may be able to do the same."

…………

"But this is war. People die. It's not a small thing like business, it's probably the best thing. Does Your Majesty have a word that can influence such an important matter?

"Uhh...."

"You are still shallow as a demon king. It is also true that many magicians inherit the will of their ancestors. Originally prized and a militant race. Say something that will silence the anger and hatred of the other side."

"Enough..."

Yveam bites and snaps his teeth. My fingernails are breaking through my skin and the blood is dripping from my fist.

"I... just don't want anyone to get hurt. The Magus are all family. I don't know who would be happy if the family were to fight... but I'm helpless..."

Close your eyes tightly and a tear will fall from them. I am the king of this country, but I am stunned by my powerlessness. Anger against oneself is greater than remorse.

"So, do you want to drop your weapon and surrender completely?

"... here, surrender?

"Perhaps the Beast tribe will understand your sincerity."

The word sounds very attractive, but Yveam frowns uneasy.

"But if we don't stop, we'll be destroyed for nothing."

If you surrender completely, you will be able to capture all the evidence, including the Demon King and the officer who was the Lord. And they can seal up their power and lock themselves up in jail for a while to decide what to do. That's normal.

If we go in the right direction, we may be able to prevent the eradication of the "Magus Clan". But those caught are still more likely to be killed.

Especially, the Demon King's Direct Guard is too powerful, so if you keep it alive, it will only become an anxiety material. He could be killed in the sense of taking responsibility or showing off.

But if you do not surrender, the war will be waged and much blood will be shed.

Even if I win. It is more likely that they will not accept even if they surrender. That much negative history is piling up. When you think about it, both pushing and pulling bleed.

"This Kiria, I made a speech that went too far. I hope this punishment doesn't go away."

"That's good... Kilia just said the right thing. There can be no punishment."

"... there's only one last thing."

Huh?

"This Kilia will give life to His Majesty, Yveam, forever."

"Kilia... I'm sorry."

She will always reach out when she is in trouble. Yveam really appreciates that.

(If there's a way to end this war so we don't hurt anybody....)

But there's no easy way to find such a convenient way. Yveam also understands that. As long as we still have time, I want to keep looking.

"... I'm going over there a little bit."

"What's your gift?

"No, I'm going alone."

"I see. Please be careful."

Yveam emerges with black wings from his back and rises fluffy. Keep away from the castle and head for the small hills nearby.

It is covered with flower fields and the sea is visible in the distance, so it is always used as a place to come to this hill and calm down when you have troubles.

The sky has a large moon overlooking the earth, surrounded by countless stars.

There is a big rock on the hill, and it always sits there.

Yveam stepped down on the rock, the tallest place on the hill, and turned his gaze to the horizon, which was flashing horizontally. The gentle wind strokes her cheeks and her long hair dances gracefully.

(If we can manage to avoid war.....)

The first thing that breaks my heart is that my comrades don't get hurt. And if possible, I don't want to hurt anyone, even other species. I don't think we can grasp real peace in a world that hurts each other.

My councillors always deny that it's a sweet idea, but I can't believe it, and I don't want to believe it.

I want to make it a world where everybody gets together and everybody laughs at each other. It may be a magnificent ideal, but it is still a hope that cannot be abandoned.

"Hah... you can't do this..."

I made a sad face and sighed out. The sweet floral scent feels pleasant, but the mind still feels tight with a thorny chain.

When I had no choice but to return to the castle, I saw several lumps of light floating in front of my eyes. Bend down aggressively and be vigilant.

It was a fairy.

I have seen this flower field appear several times in the middle of the night. Alert, they will flee as soon as they discover Yveam. Looks like they haven't noticed yet. If the opponent was a Beast, he wouldn't be so alert...

There are three fairies. Each one has a similar appearance, but the color of the hair is triple. When she is listening, she talks pleasantly with a tall voice.

"This is good air. This is good air."

"Uh-uh, the smell of flowers is awesome! Fantastic!"

While saying that, the three bodies jumped around happily, and the body stopped and opened its mouth unexpectedly.

"Ah, speaking of which, can I see that person again? Can I see you?

"Who are humans? Who?"

"People wearing red clothes, people wearing red clothes"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Yeah! Mom loves it too! I love it!

"Uh-uh, but he was certainly an interesting person! He was human!

Yveam was deeply surprised at what they said. It was astonishing that fairies who basically couldn't be seen in public liked humans.

They also recognize that the fairy queen is what they call their mother. I'm intrigued by the presence that they love so much.

"Besides, you said something amazing about the war! I told you!

Right ~, you mean the war between the Magus and the Beast? War, right?

Yveam heard the word "war" and said, "Huh?" in your heart.

"No way, I didn't think there was such a way to stop the war. Orn was proud! I was proud of you!

Get out unconsciously and try not to overhear a word they say.

(What is the way to stop the war!?

I doubt if there is such a way, but it is driven by the urge to ask.

"Uh-uh, I don't think so..."

And when he heard the word, Yveam stood up unexpectedly,

"How dare you!?

I forgot myself and raised my voice.

"Wow!? What!?"

"It's a person!? Run, run!

I watched the fairies go away from there.

"Ah, wait! How to do that?"

I wanted to hear what people were saying, but the fairy fled in a flash. Looking down from the rocks, he clasped his fist at the lonely flower fields where nobody was gone.

Yveam's blue eyes, which had been shaking anxiously earlier, were full of powerful light.

Yveam nodded once again, one by one, pointing his body towards the horizon.

Upon returning to the castle, he immediately went to see Kiria. Kilia opened her eyes slightly after seeing Yveam's lost face, but she quickly dressed herself up and asked.

"Have you decided?

"Ah, I'll protect the Magus! Kilia, I need your help."

"... thank you"

Yveam had a strong will in his eyes.

(This may be a Book. Then I'll just be ready to move!

I can't stop moving. All I can do now is penetrate my thoughts in that time. That was Yveam's decision.

"I can't let you kill my family!

Yveam hurried to a place where he had to go immediately. Kilia also comes after that.

"... is something wrong?

Asked in suspicion is Akwinas Li Lacis Phoenix, who is in the position of "First Place in the Series" in the "Demon King Guard" of [Demon Kingdom · Haos].

He shakes his long, bright red hair and turns to Yveam, who asks about the room.

She was breathing on her shoulders and staring straight at Akwinus' red eyes.

I could easily guess that I was looking for myself in a hurry, but Akwinus didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

As she breathed, she raised her face. Akwinas thinned his eyes slightly when he looked at them. I was able to decide whether there was something important to talk about.

"... I need a favor, Akwinus."

Follow Kilia and meet Akwinus in Yveam.

(... I'm still lost, but you've decided something.)

A light of readiness was seen in her eyes. And I was convinced that it was about the war.

"What is it?"

"That's..."

Akwinus listened to her in silence, but he was surprised inside, not in his face. I didn't expect such a word to come out of her mouth.

(I see, that's the best you can do...)

I think so, it makes me nervous. Even a smile came to mind when I came to the conclusion that I was struggling with.

(No, but let's say it's His Majesty's.)

Akwinas thought that there was another way to do it.

(You don't mind pretending to protect me...)

Akwinas knows it's her strength and brittleness. From an early age, that part alone has grown unchanged.

But I also think that it is a great responsibility for those around me to let them do so. I also know that it attracts people.

"What do you say, Akwinus?

It's not like I think my way is right. But it was an answer that penetrated her beliefs. Akwinas also answers seriously.

"Your Majesty's way has not solved anything?

"Still, I made up my mind!

She stared back at her eyes for a while and felt that it was useless to say anything more.

(Interesting. It would be nice to see what awaits ahead of His Majesty's answer)

It was certainly a dangerous choice, but it made me want to look beyond that answer.

"Then give the order."

Yveam took that word and took a breath.

"Your Majesty is the Devil, isn't he?

"... okay. Follow me, Akwinus!

After a fuzzy smile, Akwinus immediately turned his face back and knelt down to answer.

"Thank you."

Akwinus smiled unexpectedly not only about the "Beast Clan", but also about the "Demon Clan", which would probably leave him in the future.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is the only bridge connecting the "Beast" continent with the "Magus" continent.

And now, across the bridge, the "Beast Clan" and "Magus Clan" continued to stare at each other.

"Didn't they have troops on our side..."

It was Leo Wood King, king of [Beast Kingdom Pacion] and commander-in-chief of the National Army of War, who murmured with a sharp look.

With the wind shaking the fine hyena, he stares at the tip of the bridge with the eyes of a ferocious beast.

He thought the "Demons" had already crossed the bridge and the Beasts were deploying troops to keep them from crossing, but apparently the prospects were different.

"Hey, if you were on my side, I'd have killed them all!"

Unfortunately, it is the Second Prince, Lenion, who says so.

Unlike Leowood, she has a slightly finer body. It may be that temperament that I inherited strongly from Leoward.

"Still fighting... I don't think so....."

It is the First Prince Leguls who is sad in another sense than Lenion. He also has a somewhat unreliable atmosphere compared to Leoward, but still takes over the blood most intensely in appearance. He has a polite personality.

"Father, what do you want? They have considerable combat power on the other side. First of all, I think we should see how it's coming out."

"Hmm, this is within expectations. As originally planned, we'll start with this."

Those who were there smile creepily at the words. Looks like a hunter with a locked target.

"Ready, Eugene?

Leoward called out his name and a man in white appeared behind him.

"Nyohohohohohoho! You can always do this! I'm going to be able to fully verify the results of my research! Nyohohohohohoho!"

A man who looks filthy is laughing when he sees his green hair and rough hair, his white coat and his glued glasses. A long rabbit grows on top of its head.

All right, let's go to the first Battle of Corrupt Man! Do it! "

"Nyohohohohohohohoho! Crouch, do it!

Crouch, a black-black beast who looks like a black leopard, comes out in front of everyone.

"I understand!"

Just in front of the bridge, gently fold your knees and place your hands on the ground.

"Come on, let's get to work." It's coming out. "

Crouch's bracelet fitted to his right arm glows suspiciously.

Zuzuzu Zuzu Zuzu Zuzu... as Crouch's hands lose their shape, black spreads to the front like melting.

It looks like a shadow is growing. In addition, monsters emerge one after the other. And surprisingly, they're not ordinary monsters.

Your body is corroded everywhere, your skin is rotting, and your nose stinks.

From the shadows, the monsters appeared one after the other, slowly walking along the bridge with certainty.

"Nyohohohohohoho! Come on, let's go! My army of immortals!

Eugene's voice echoes and is filled with monsters from the bridge between Dondon and the beast world.

While the Wesen were attacking the monsters, on the other side, soldiers who perceived the Wesen's movements came to tell Marione Judo Crisis, the Second in the Series of the Demon King Guard, who was entrusted with the command of the defense here.

"Finally, have you moved? You filthy beasts will destroy us!

The murderous intentions that were so vicious that even my fellow soldiers were embarrassed were spreading from all over my body.

He has a past in which his wife and son were killed by the Beast, and because of that he has unmatched anger feelings in the Beast.

I applied for this front-line command because I thought I could slaughter as many Wesen as I could.

"... Dear Marione"

"Hmm? What is it, Chugai?

Suddenly, a man named Chugai appeared kneeling behind him. There is a horn growing in my head. Her face is like a noble face and her expression is not shaking. He is a loyal servant of Marione.

"Looks like they're using monsters to take the lead. Can I help you?

"Hmm, I've heard that beast researchers have invented ways and means to use monsters."

"It seems so. Some of them are S-ranked monsters."

"Hmm, do they think they can do something about the S-Rank?

"Probably a discard to see how we got here."

"It's possible that even stronger monsters will be avoided. Hmm, you desperately scratched beast, lamenting the lack of combat power. Keep your wisdom down."

Marione whispers in disgust.

"Dear Marione,"

Hmm?

"Please give this tugai a role. I will show you how unreliable the power of those filthy beasts is."

Marione smiled at the words.

"Very well. But just stop the monsters. I'll kill the Beast."

Ha!

Chugai grows wings from his back and disappears from there into the air like the wind.

"Look, the beasts. They'll eradicate it."

Marione's eyes were filled with contempt and anger.

"What's the situation?

When King Leowood asks Eugene, he replies with a smile that he doesn't remember any anxiety.

"Nyohohohohohoho! Looks like there's one over there! But it looks like you're throwing in some pretty handy stuff! Nyohohohohohoho!"

"You came to stop me in the middle of the bridge. Who is that?

"I saw it through the eyes of my beloved zombies, but it looks like a chugai!

"Father, I'm sure Chugai works for Marione."

The first prince who was listening, Legles, replied.

Oh, is that the Demon King's Guard in command?

"The Demon King's Immediate Guard, who is always beside the Demon King in war." Besides, marionette should be in "sequence number two." I wonder what it's like for someone like that to go to the front...

"Nyohohohohohohohoho! I've looked into it and it seems that he has a strong grudge against the Beast!

"I see, you want to hunt our lives with your own hands... that's what you think."

Leowood's words were a target.

"I think we can stop it with a monster if it's about Chugai, but what do you want to do?

"I'm coming."

"Lenion....?

It was Lenion that broke into it.

"I don't care how long you bring it. Someone has to cut it out, right?

"Wait a minute, Lenion, you're nothing but a prince and you don't have to go right now...."

"Aniki, this is war. You can't win unless you use everything you can. Fortunately, my Costume Magic is more effective in these spacious places."

Lenion looks up at the straight bridge and lifts her mouth with pleasure. The expression clearly shows a desire to fight early.

"Besides, how much can a monster get involved? Well, even a soldier would want to die if he were involved in my tricks."

Lenion smiles fiercely with a light word. The soldiers think that if they could think a little more warmly, they would be better than Leguls as princes.

Lenion is better in strength. He was supposed to be his younger brother in a world of beasts where strength was supposed to speak, but his personality was not very favorable at all.

A heart that is too militant and cares less about people has bought its reputation as a king.

"Hey, Dad, what's going on? Am I supposed to kill him?

Leoward thinks for a moment about such a Lenion's words.

"... okay. But wait a little longer..."

When I was about to say that, the soldiers who were observing the bridge raised their voices.

"What's wrong!?

Leoward shouts, wondering if there might have been a movement in the war.

"Ah, no, something's coming from the other side...."

Everyone's eyes gathered in the direction where the soldiers pointed their fingers.

"What is something?

Leoward stared at the bridge. Then I saw two small points from above.

"What is it!?

That was a question that everyone on the spot had in mind.

"What happened!?

Marione's anger echoes. Because the soldiers around me were upset and rough. The fact that the soldiers are still confused means that there is a problem that cannot be left unattended.

"... did something happen to Chugai?

That's what Marione came up with. The other day, I was told that I wanted to pay the monsters. It seemed as if such a man had failed.

"No...."

Soldiers are bluishing their faces. Some of them are stunned, as if they had seen something incredible.

The marionette who simmered the business exposed his frustration and shouted.

"Yes! Explain what happened!

"Ha, yes!

A soldier who regained his sanity with Marione's mixed anger screams knelt down and then told him exactly what he had confirmed. I also saw the expression of Marione who was listening to the story, and as I saw it, I got stronger.

And as he stepped through the ground, he raised his voice in anger.

"What is that supposed to mean!

"Hyi!?

"Why is that happening?!

"Wow, wow, I don't know!?

Soldiers answered desperately, but nothing entered Marione's ear anymore.

Marione glared over the bridge. There were two things that the soldiers had just told me - no, they saw two people.

"Hey, what the hell...?

Squeeze out your teeth as you chew them out.

"Why are these two here...?"
