Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

135: As a new comrade,

Suddenly I'm stunned that I've changed the subject too much.

But the other person has a serious look. There may indeed be a point in showing the sword here.

I thought so. I pulled out the sheath from my waist.

Then a shadow appeared on the sunny shoulder.

"Hey, you! Zangeki I won't forgive you if you do something!

It was Ten. He's integrated with Zangeki, so he warned me he'd have trouble getting caught by a sword.

"... I'm surprised. Are you possibly the Spirit?

"Hee ~ I can't believe I saw it at first sight! Hmm? Oh, come on, you can't be..."

Ten gazed at Xel and stared at him.

Did you notice something...?

The color of the sun also caught my eye on Ten, but he was murmuring to remember something with bumps.

(Don't say bumps on other people's shoulders.....)

I decided later to ask what I was thinking and put my gaze back on Xel.

"............ Eh!? This is... I see..."

Ignoring Ten's story, Xel draws his sword and looks at it as if he is having a conversation with his eyes.

From the edge, it only looks like a painful man talking to a sword.

Yeah, so he can talk to his own sword.

Lillin answered my question, but there is still something scary about this sight.

Xel moves his eyes to confirm the existence of "Zangeki" from various angles.

At first, I looked at the sword and looked at it with dismay, but I gradually nodded many times as if I had learned it.

"... fufufu"

"What's wrong?

Suddenly Xel laughed and said, "No," and Xel returned the sword to the sheath.

"Looks like she's already taken my hand."

……

"The kid told me. About you, the current master, and the Ten."

"Ah, my name...."

You didn't even mention it because you heard it from the sword. It was astonishing that I could really talk to a sword.

"Nevertheless, I was quite surprised. I can't believe it's growing into a Spirit Sword... but this is evolution, not growth anymore."

"Fufufu, that's amazing!

Ten is bragging.

"Besides this shape... it has a very beautiful finish. You raised your arm, Zaf."

"So, what did you think when you talked to the sword?

"Well, I'm glad I haven't spoken to her in a long time. I've been told a lot."

A lot?

"Above all, I've been scolded about Winka... Don't make me feel lonely."

Everyone stares silently at him, laughing bitterly at himself.

"... I never thought this would happen."

With that said, she stared at Lily's face.

Zangeki taught me. I was told who he was... and that I absolutely trusted him. And that he... supports your dreams. "

"Of course! Hiiro is under my command!

"Tell me a joke in bed."

"Mmm! You don't seem to understand your position yet."

I'm not going to be a servant of a little girl like a pervert butler.

"Don't say" baby girl! "

"Nofofofofofofofo! What a wonderful thing! A servant of a little girl! Nofofofofofofofo!"

It's about to go into chaos.

"... fufufu"

Lillin stared at Xel with a faint laugh.

"What's so funny?

I say it as a bluff and threaten, but Xel takes a natural attitude as if he were to pass.

"No, I just kind of figured out why Lily started following her dreams again."

With a gentle smile that doesn't kill insects, Lillin snorts as if distracted.

"Lillian certainly said he was out of standard."

Is that what you were saying... or is Lillin definitely out of standard?

"What's the matter?

"Honestly, I didn't mean to change my mind when I met him."

…………

"The ideal of creating what you say is a place for all people to enjoy. It's a dream that will surely follow you, a dream that will surely disappear when you can reach it... That's why I didn't intend to shake my neck vertically no matter how much I was invited to do."

No one listens to him with a smile on his face.

"This world has been in turmoil a long time ago. We will seek greater power to win the struggle over the differences between races, and the struggle for rights and power alone. And the loser shall grieve with pain, and it shall lead to hatred, and the battle shall spread again. Just knowing that my children were involved in the struggle was going to crush my chest with self-blame."

It is self-evident that you have the power to win a fight.

And it is also true to seek a weapon that is strong in its power. The powerful men who followed him, who could produce the weapon, would have tried to dictate it with their bare hands.

"Weapons are more than just decorations. I knew that. I just wanted you to use it to protect something important... But I was stupid. Such a sweet ideal could not have come true. The times are the times... I didn't really understand them. Ironically, it was only after the most important people were killed with weapons of their own making… so I decided to disappear. I swear I will never make a weapon to kill again....."

The weapons he made will still be everywhere.

And it must continue to be used for war. He is turning away from such a reality.

"... you're just weak."

In everyone's silence, the color of the sun said so with cold eyes.

"That's because you ask for a reason to build a weapon. In the first place, weapons are a tool to fight no matter how they are handled."

"... yes"

"Whatever you think you're going to make a weapon, it's up to the user to determine its value."

"... that's right."

"After all, you just don't like someone acting unjustly with your weapon, do you?

…………

"I'm just turning away from reality and running away. And about your daughter."

Huh?

"Everything is sweet. I told you he taught you.

That's how I pointed to Zangeki.

"You're my father. Whatever you do, wherever you hide, as long as you're Xel Geo, you're his father. If you're a father, don't let your child feel lonely."

"... Hyiro-san"

"Running away is not bad in itself. Sometimes it looks that way. But the worst part is to keep running."

"......!?

Xel opens his eyes as if he had been shocked.

"What you really need to do is not be dragged into this place, right? If you have a lot of power, why don't you use it and move on?

"............ fufufu"

"What's so funny?

"Ah, no. I'm sorry.... as I said earlier, I didn't really mean to leave here no matter what you say. There is also the danger that my existence will become a spark of strife again...."

Certainly, if you know his presence, especially if you are known to King Rudolph and others, it is not strange that you have been plotting abductions.

"Xel...."

"Mr. Lillin... I've been hit."

Huh?

"... this boy's appearance was unexpected. No, it was a surprise."

"That's why I told you. He's going to be more diagonal than I expected."

He said it was him and pointed his finger at me, so I frowned uncomfortably in the color of the day.

"Yeah, that's exactly right. I didn't expect him to meet my daughter and see Zangeki evolve like that. I didn't expect a good old adult to receive so much sermon that he couldn't contest it....."

Xel glanced at the sunny eyes and chuckled.

"Why do you laugh?

"No... may I ask you one question?

"... if I can answer that."

"Thank you."

Xel then stretches his spine by sitting in his seat.

I accidentally sat on the spot in Japanese colour. The two face each other as they face each other.

"That girl... I heard about Zangeki, but she trusts you completely. We've known each other a long time."

That's true. Rather than "Zangeki", "Tsuranuki" can be said to be the first companion of Japanese color. The length of the relationship will be higher than anyone else's.

"But I don't want my weapons to be used in war. I was retrieving my children, who would have been scattered around the world."

I knew that because Lillin had asked me about it to some extent.

"The" Zangeki "is also a child I originally created. What if I told you to stop using the child in battle?

"Is that the question?

"Yes"

Jiggle and gaze into Xel's eyes. She had clear eyes looking straight at us. I understood that I would not be convinced by a semi-life answer.

"... I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"Why?

This is mine now.

…………

"So I'm not going to respect someone's will."

"... he did say that he was getting away from me. But weapons can easily hurt people. Misuse can easily take lives and create such black emotions as hatred and sadness. And it will be true in war. Are you still going to shake that kid?

"Of course. I beat my enemies by my will. Besides, weapons aren't just for hurting people, are they? As I said earlier, it depends on what the user thinks. You said that to protect something."

"... you took one of these."

"At least I'm getting a lot of help from him. To get through my path."

"Your way...?

"Oh, I don't want to slay people like that either. But if you get in my way, I'll push you through."

"Even if people die as a result?

"Readiness already exists."

Looking back at Xel's eyes as if she had forgotten the blink.

"I'm going to shake this... Zangeki to protect my path."

"Oops! Me, Zangeki, and Hiro are always together!

Ten shows the V sign to Xel. I don't care, but I want you to come down from your shoulders and declare it.

And what I thought was passed down from my shoulder, piong,

"Besides, Grandma, Hiiro doesn't fight to make Zangeki sad. That's all I'm gonna do, Ten-sama!

I've been saying things on my own, Paco!

"It hurts! Why are you hitting me?

"Don't come out that way, yellow monkey."

"Fine! Zangeki is integrated with me! I mean, I'm not talking about the sword!

- Paco!

"So don't hit me. Come on!

Ten takes distance from the sun while rubbing his head with tearful eyes.

"Just shut up a little bit. And even if you don't guarantee it, you just keep believing in me as long as this sword believes in me."

At that moment, Xel's eyes opened, and he had a gentle smile on his face.

"Well, apparently Zangeki has found a good master."

He then turned his head quietly towards Lillin. Lillin was puzzled at first, but she quickly asked if she understood the meaning of his behavior with a serious face.

"Mr. Lillin, let me take charge of one end of your dream, even with my modest strength. No, let me help you."

"... hmm. Nice to meet you, Xel!

Lily nodded with satisfaction, making a smile that seemed happy.

Shiuba also nodded as if she was communicating with Lily face-to-face with Chamoe.

Lillin was deeply satisfied with the results of the Japanese visit.

Though I thought it would take a little longer, I was surprised to hear the story of Xel's child, who had not even predicted Lillin, but Xel was able to get the result of shaking his neck vertically.

"Thank you, miss."

Shiuba tells her to whip her ear.

Um, I didn't think Xel would break today.

"Nofofofo, you are truly beyond our expectations."

"Oh, but I have a little problem....."

It's good that Xel promised to play a part in supporting the dream, but I'm worried that Xel will go out so easily, no matter how much he disguises himself.

Because if someone who knows him finds out who he is, it's likely that extra problems will arise.

And does Xel care about that, too?

"One, are you sure you have a disability?

Of course, the obstacle was the problem Lily had earlier.

"I'm certainly good at disguising, but it's also possible that they'll find out in a normal time. But you can't stay here forever longer than you've decided to help with your dreams. What to do....."

When everybody was thinking about how to solve the problem and bothering their head,

"I don't care what happens to that stuff.

They were distressed by the pale colors of the day, and they were stiffened by daze.

But as Lillian came up with,

"That's right! Exactly! There are too many irregular magic players here!

That said, Lillin herself must have had enough irregular magic, but no one broke into it.

"Ah, no, wait a minute... Hyiro, will you... do that?

"... it doesn't matter. And I owe him one. I'll give it back here."

He means Winkaa, Xel's daughter. I don't know what kind of loan was made in time between the two of them, but it is quite a big loan that the color of the day is convincing.

"I see... this is a magical world, so I'll leave it to the" Magus "."

The color of the sun turned to Xel.

"Eh? Um... what are you doing...?

Of course, Xel will not understand even if others realize that the color will change in the future.

"Xel"

"Lillin-san...."

"Just stay still and stay calm. Something interesting happens."

Raise your tongue so that your child plans something. But he looks anxiously at Siuba. He looked like a little animal asking for help.

"Nofofofofofofofo! It's okay! We'll be done soon!

"Ah, um, if you could explain!

"Fufu, you guys, hold him down!

Lily pointed her fingertips towards Xel.

"Huh? Ah, what are you guys doing!?

It's Camus who nicks his left arm, squeezes his right arm, and squeezes his wings so he doesn't run away.

"Do it! Hyiro!"

"... I don't think it's necessary to exaggerate so much... well, that's it."

The colour of the day is written with the word 'change', and it is directed towards Xel.

"Eh... um... what the hell is that..."

Ignores Xel's confusion and releases letters. And sticks to his forehead.

Then a warm pale light envelops him.

It didn't take that long, and the light gradually faded, and from that light...

"Hmm, you're a splendid 'Demon Tribe', Xel! Kuhahahaha!"

"What? Huh? Um...?

Take this, Master Xel.

Shiuba hands him a mirror with confused suspicions. He doesn't know what it is, but he takes it in his hand for now and checks his fearful face.

"... yes?

………………………………

…………………………

……………………

………………

"Uhhhhhhhhhhh!?

There was a light purple hair color with sharp ears and dark skin discoloration.

It was the figure of a "Magus tribe" with three small horns growing from the forehead.

The presence of beautiful yellow hair, beast ears positioned on top of it, and tails that contained fluffy hair on the buttocks had disappeared brilliantly.

"Kwahahahaha! It looks so good on you, Xel!

"Yes, it's a splendid 'Magus' from anywhere!

Lillin and Siuba smile happily, but Xel is still stuck without understanding the current situation.

"... is this... unique magic...?

"Oh, you know what I mean? Well, you can ask Hiro if you want to know more. I don't think you're gonna answer honestly!

Xel looks at the color of the sun as she says.

"Hmm? In the meantime, don't worry, even if the magic is deactivated, it won't go back. I'll disarm it when I get back."

"Um, uh... I see."

In the meantime, Xel decided to relieve himself knowing that there was no problem even if he went out.

The colors returned to the castle, but there was no new companion, Xel.

He said he needed some time to clean up the place he had built in [Shanjumon Cave].

Lillin is not in a hurry, so I told her to show her face to the castle when she was finished organizing her surroundings.

I told Yveam, the demon king, and asked him to show me to the room where the sun colors were raised when Xel arrived.

Lillin was in a pretty good mood to return to the castle because she carried it well.

That would be the case. You won't have to say that you were able to solicit Xel in just one day, which was probably impossible on your own.

The little girl who had Siuba prepare alcohol and drink it so that she could bathe with gummies was really surreal, but after that she slept tightly and thought she was still a child as she looked.

The next day, she replied twice to the request of a young girl who was asking for magic because she had a headache, telling Siuba that she was ready to go somewhere one day.

"Where are you going?

Ah, a little [beast kingdom].

Siuba seemed a little surprised, but she quietly sent me out without asking for any details. Siuba is quite a talented person in terms of not prying extra.

Mikazuki and Nicki went shopping in the city with Chamoes.

Lillian fell asleep from a hangover, and Siuba was detained for the nursing. So the three people who can move freely now are the sun colour, the camus, and the tent... no, two and one.

Regardless, Camus told me to leave a message, but I had no choice but to go with him.

When she went to Yveam, the demon king, she said she was talking to Akwinus in the office.

Guided by a maid in front of the door, she knocks and tells her that the sun has come. From the inside, you will hear a voice that allows you to enter, the sun, the camus, and the tent will enter the room.

"What's the matter, Hiro? Have you heard from Lord Siuba about the Kuzel?

Haven't seen Yveam say that in a long time. Something tired is hiding.

We should be working on the Permanent Alliance with the Beast now. I've made a promise in a duel, but I'm sure they're traveling around each other's countries to deal with political issues related to the Alliance.

I heard that she was in a hurry to deal with the problem and was working almost immediately before going to bed.

He behaved graciously, but under his thin makeup, he still couldn't hide his fatigue completely.

But I'm sure this is the right time. I do not intend to be involved in the politics of the "Magus", nor do I speak for myself as an outsider.

So I decided to keep looking at it and pretend not to look at it, and tell you the truth.

"That's not the story. We're going to the Beast Land for a while."

"... is that so? I don't suppose you'll tell me what to do..."

I waited as if I had given up listening in anticipation of a reply as to whether I understood the Japanese character.

Do you think I'm such a secrecy?

It may be helpful for us to be able to prefetch and give up so easily, but I also feel that something doesn't make sense.

"No, I'm here to take care of you. Besides, I understand my position a little. So, what's the reason you're going? Well, that's not a big deal."

The Japanese are now living in large rooms in the castle of the Demon King.

Of course, because Yveam told me to, but I don't forget to appreciate the delicious meals and baths that Moonsen makes every day.

I also understand that even if I am not involved in politics, I am the actor who led the "Magus tribe" to victory in the duel and have been treated as a hero.

I think it's right to say the reason why I'm going to a different country, even if I'm an ally.

"Really?

Yveam blinked many times in surprise. The neighbor Akwinus hasn't shown any upset as usual.

"Oh, there's only two of us here to go."

"Hey, Hyiro! I'm counting on one too!

The tent on the sunny shoulder suddenly spoke, so Yveam was jiotong.

Speaking of which, I didn't tell her I had a contract with the Spirit.

"Hey, hey, what is it, that animal?

Of course Yveam is stunned.

"... spirits. Hyiro, did you make a deal?

That's Akwinus. At first glance, I've just identified myself as a spirit, and I've even realized that I made a contract.

Sort of. This is the yellow monkey tent. "

"No, you're the only one who calls me that!

"Say what. Easy to call, but yellow monkey."

"... that's enough. Greetings, demon kings...."

Did you realize that there was no point in defying the stubborn attitude of the sun color? I dropped my shoulders and just said hello.

"Heh, the contract... how far does Hyiro go... no, maybe you shouldn't say anything anymore... So, what? That's why I'm going over there...."

Actually, it's about the blacksmith.

"Oh, a guy named Kuzel?

"That's right. When I met the blacksmith, he asked me to tell him."

"... to whom?

I'm a former traveler.

"... ahh"

Yveam nods when he thinks of the anolds who were getting along with him in the duel.

"Really, just tell him?

"... no, I see. Perfect. I'll have the Beast King pay you back for one. I don't think you'll listen to me..."

"... mmm, don't be reckless.

Yveam's tone changed dramatically.

"You can't do that, can you? What do you think I am?"

I'm sure it's because I know it's the first time outside the Japanese standard, but it seems that Yveam could only exhale against the unconscious Japanese color.

"But Hiro, do you know what's going on over there?

"Something terrible?

She told me that [Beast Kingdom Pacion] had been attacked by two people in black.

And these people are probably Avolos' hands....

"I see. There's a lot going on, isn't there?"

"Te, temple...? Well, that's the situation over there, so you might want to take less bad action."

If such a thing had happened, [Pacion] would have tingling now. Even a little irritation may overreact.

"Well, I may not be important because I know about Hyiro and the soldiers over there, but nevertheless... it seems that beasts and... humans attacked the country anyway."

"Humans?"

"Ah, so Hiiro, the same 'human race', won't look good either. If we can go, we should magically change it."

"... I see, thanks for the information, Demon King."

"Oh, well, it's about you, so don't worry, but be careful."

When she nodded back small and tried to turn her heel back, she obviously sighed from Yveam.

It wasn't like my daughter gave it to me when I was old, but it felt like it was a middle-aged man who had been chased to work and was stressed out.

The day I stopped my feet, the colour was smooth and gentle, and when I wrote the letter, I threw it at Yveam.

Akwinus was just watching silently without trying to stop it.

"Eh!? Hey, what?

Yveam panicked with a mass of magic hitting him. In front of my eyes was a Japanese figure pointing at my fingertips.

The moment I decided it was his fault, a gentle light enveloped my body.

Then it feels too pleasant all over your body.

It feels like warm soup on a cold body, and the heat spreads from the back of your body.

The calm heat swept through my body and I felt like I was in a dream.

It seems to be surrounded by the joy of spring and the pleasant wind.

Around them the animals ran around the field happily, and the sky represented a clear sky with no inch of clouds.

(I wonder... it feels so good...)

Surrounded by light, Yveam's consciousness whitened out quietly.

Thank you, Hyiro.

Akwinus shouted as he watched Yveam lying on his desk.

"Even if we told him not to rest, he was always working."

"I guess so. Makeup doesn't fool you, the neighborhood under your eyes."

"... it's certainly an important time for all kinds of problems to emerge, but it was a nuisance even if my body was destroyed."

"Never mind. It's just a consideration for the information I just gave you."

"Fufu, let's do that."

Akwinus stares gently at Yveam, who seems to be sleeping pleasantly with the Japanese letter "Pleasant Sleep". It felt as if the father were pointing at his daughter.

"You support the king, don't you? Then discipline them not to fall. I hate to be rude, but if you make it impossible over and over again, you're disqualified as a close associate.

"... my ears hurt."

I just said that I no longer need the sun colour, and now I'm going to leave the room.

Thank you, Hyiro.

"... don't say it again."

Patan and the door closed, and she became one of the girls who was sleeping with Akwinus in the room.

"He won't admit it, but you're already an irreplaceable part of the Magus tribe... no, not even this sleeping princess..."

A quiet murmur echoed indoors, but it was not a lonely one, but a voice that contained a gentle and warm one.
