Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (WN)

A few days before the Japanese arrived in [Pasión], in [Demon Nation/Heros], the whole country was under tension.

That was because of a letter sent by The Beast Nation the other day.

Its content is a verdict of war.

I mean - it's a declaration of war.

If you look down from the terrace of Demon King's Castle, there are many soldiers lined up to practice there.

It is in the Lord of this Demon King's Castle that I look with sadness at that sight of training for the battle - Yveam Grand Early Evening - King of [Demon Nation/Heros].

Well-maintained, beautiful blonde hair was swept away by the wind, sadly distorted the remainder of her delicate face and chewed her teeth.

Kiria quietly opens her mouth watching such Yveam quietly from behind.

"Are you sure?

…………

"If it stays like this, it will definitely be an annihilation."

"I know!

Yveam voices angrily mixed up to deny Kiria's words. But I felt that there was nothing more I could do than go so far.

"No way... the Beasts move so fast, etc..."

"No, I had predictions"

"Knock..."

It's not like Yveam hasn't done anything before. I have sent parents of harmony many times, just like 'the human race'. But they couldn't accept it.

As one of the means, I also wished I had given my neck, but the Beastmen would still not stop, my colleagues said.

That's why I tried to look for other ways and at least to be able to have a dialogue, but they all end up in vain.

"Why... it's a battle..."

"That's probably because it's the most convincing form"

"What! Why do you have to decide what's best or worse with your strength! Power, etc., was originally superior and inferior and deserved it! Wouldn't it be better to argue with that in a language that everyone has equal! Above all, it's bleeding!

"............... what about that?

"What...?

Round your eyes at Kiria's denial, which is only calm.

"The words……… are light"

"-!"

"Surely, it would be something we all have equally. But words are empty from the beginning."

"Empty...... you say?

"Yes. In that emptiness, having the weight creates persuasion for the first time. That, as a force of words, becomes a blade that is carved into the brain, not just into the ear. But does Your Majesty have any weighty words that would allow us to avoid war?

"Oh, that's..."

"If this is a dialogue for negotiations, such as commerce, in a peaceful world, where there is no war or anything like it, even His Majesty may be able to make it"

…………

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

"Ugh..."

"It is still shallow for you to be king of demons. And it is also true that many demons inherit the will of their predecessors. Because it is originally a prized and belligerent species. Words that glorify them and quell their anger and hatred."

"Enough..."

Yveam bites his teeth off with a crunch. From the fist I gripped, my nails broke through my skin and my blood was dripping off.

"I... just don't want anyone to get hurt. The Demons are all family. I don't know who's happy about that family fighting... but I'm... helpless..."

Close it hard. A single tear falls from its eyes. I am the king of this country, but I am so powerless. Anger at yourself is greater than remorse.

"So, drop your weapon and surrender completely?

"... this, surrender?

"Maybe the 'Beastmen' will understand His Majesty's sincerity"

The word sounds very appealing, but Yveam frowns anxiously.

"But if we still don't stop, we won't be able to do anything and will be destroyed"

If it were a total surrender, all the demon kings and officers who were lords, etc. would be captured in the evidence. And they seal their power, and for a while they lock them in their chambers, and decide what to do with them. That's normal.

If we point in the right direction, we may be able to prevent the uprooting of the 'Demons'. But still, those caught are likely to be killed.

Especially "Demon King's Direct Guard" and others, because they are too sloppy, keeping them alive can only be an anxiety material. It could even mean taking responsibility or showing off.

But if we do not surrender, there will be war, and much blood will flow.

Even if you win. It's more likely that you won't accept it if you surrender to it. That's all negative history has accumulated. If you think about it, pushing and pulling will bleed accordingly.

"I made an overstatement this Kiria. Let this punishment be."

"Nice...... Kiria just said the right thing for me. There can't be any punishment."

"... then just one last thing"

"Huh?"

"Your Majesty, Eveam and I will take this Kiria with us everywhere."

"Kiria...... sorry"

She always reaches out to me when she is suffering in this way. Yveam thinks that would be really appreciated.

(If there's any way to end this war so it doesn't hurt everyone...)

But there's no way you can find such a convenient way. I also understand that Yveam. Still, as long as I still have time, I want to keep looking.

"... I'm gonna go over there a little bit"

"What do you got for me?

"No, I'm going alone"

"Okay. Be careful."

Yveam rises fuzzy as he emerges black wings from his back bassassy. Keep away from the castle and head to the small high hills nearby.

It's covered with flower gardens and the ocean is visible in the distance, so I always use it as a relaxing place to come to this hill and calm my feelings when I have troubles.

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

There was a big rock on the hill, and I could always sit there.

Yveam descended on the rock, the highest point of Zach's hill, and turned his gaze to the horizon stretching sideways. A gentle breeze strokes her cheeks and her long hair dances gracefully.

(If we manage to avoid war...)

The most heartbreaking thing is that the comrades still don't get hurt. And if possible, even when it comes to other races, I don't want to hurt them either. I don't think we can grasp real peace in a world that hurts each other.

It's always denied to the ministers that it's a sweet idea, but they don't believe, or want to believe, in the peace that someone makes up after hurting them.

I want to make it a world where everyone can join hands and all laugh at each other if possible. It may be a grand ideal, but it is still a hope that cannot be abandoned.

"Ha... not like this..."

It creates a worried expression and gives me zero sighs. I like the smell of sweet flowers, but my heart still feels tightened with thorny chains.

When I had no choice but to return to the castle, I saw multiple pieces of light floating at the end of my gaze. Give yourself up and be vigilant.

It was - a fairy.

I've seen him show up several times in the middle of the night in this flower garden. Vigilant they flee as soon as they discover what Yveam looks like. Apparently they haven't noticed yet. He said he wouldn't be so vigilant if his opponent was an animal man...

There are three fairies. Each has a similar face, but the color of the hair is triple. She is having a pleasant conversation with a tall voice when her ears are clear.

"It's good air here - it's good air"

"Unh-unh, the smell of flowers is psychotic too! Psycho!"

With that said, the three bodies are happily flying around, the whole thing stops inadvertently and opens its mouth.

"Oh, speaking of which, will I see that human again? Can I see you?

"Uh, who's human? Who?"

"People in red - people in red"

"Oh - you like Orn - you like him -"

"Yeah! Your mother likes it too! I like it!

"Unh, but he was definitely an interesting person! He was human!

Eveam was getting a heartfelt surprise when he heard their words. Because basically a fairy who shouldn't show up in public was stunned that she liked humans.

Besides, I also recognize that the existence they call their mother is the Fairy Queen. I get interested in the existence that they like so much.

"Besides, you said something amazing about the war! You said it!

"Right - you mean the wars between demons and beasts, right? You mean the war, right?

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

"No way - you didn't think there was such a way to stop the war - Orn bragged about it! I was so proud of you!

Unconsciously embark on herself and strive not to overhear a word of them.

(What is the way to stop the war!?

I doubt there is such a way, but I get the urge to ask.

"Unh-unh, because, no way -..."

When he heard the word, Eveam stood up unexpectedly,

"That's the way to go!?

and had forgotten me and raised my voice.

"Wow!? What?!?"

"People. Huh!? I'm running! I'm running!

Seeing the fairies go away from the spot somewhere,

"Oh, wait! That way..."

I called out to hear what people were saying, but the fairy had fled at first sight. Grasp a fist as he looks down from the rocks at the lonely flower garden where no one is anymore.

From the blue eye of Yveam, which was unsettling until earlier, a powerful light was emitted and full of readiness.

Yveam nodded loudly, one by one, pointing again towards the horizon.

Upon his return to the castle, he immediately went to see Kiria. Kiria opened her eyes slightly when she saw the face that blew off Yveam's stray, but soon she would get in shape and ask.

"Was it decided?

"Oh, I'll protect the 'Demon Clan'! Kiria, I need your help."

"............................................................................................................."

There was a strong will in Yveam's eyes.

(This may be a heavenly revelation. Then I'll just be ready to move too!

I can't stop the time I'm moving. What I can do now is pierce my thoughts in that time. That's the decision Yveam made.

"You can't let them kill your family!

As there was a place to go immediately, Yveam rushed to the place. Kiria follows after that too.

"... what's wrong with you?

Suspiciously asked is Akwinus Li Raisis Phoenix, who is in the position of "Sequence # 1" by making it [Demon Nation/Heros] 's "Immediate Guard of the Demon King".

He rocks his long hair with a bright red color and turns to Yveam, who has asked for the room.

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

Akwinas, who could easily have guessed that he was rushing to find himself, has no idea what the story is about.

I breathed. She looks up. Look at those eyes. Akwinas narrows his eyes slightly. I could decide if there was something important to talk about.

"... I need a favor, Akwinas"

Yveam follows Kiria next door and faces Akwinas.

(... I'm still lost, but you've got eyes that decide something)

From her eyes I could see the light of readiness. And I could be sure that was about getting involved in the war.

"What?"

"It's -..."

Akwinas had listened to her in silence, but she didn't show it to her face, but she was heartily amazed. Because I didn't think those words would come out of her mouth.

(So that's the best His Majesty can do...)

I think so, and I get coughed up unexpectedly. I even laugh at too much childishness wondering if that's the conclusion I painfully drew.

(No, but shall I say it sounds like Your Majesty)

Akwinas thought that that was another way to do it.

(I don't care if it's to protect...)

Akwinas knows that's her strength and also her brittleness. Only that part has grown from an early age without ever changing.

But I also think that it is a great responsibility of those around me to make them do so. Plus I know that's the attraction that attracts people.

"What do you say, Akwinas?

I don't look like I think my way is the right one, etc. But it's an answer that penetrated her beliefs. Akwinas also answers seriously.

"Your Majesty's way doesn't solve anything, does it?

"Still, I made up my mind!

I stared back into her eyes for a while and found it futile where I said anything more.

(Interesting. You're also excited to see what awaits ahead of the answers His Majesty has given you)

It was certainly a dangerous choice, but it was like making me want to look ahead to that answer.

"Then give me an order."

Yveam taking that word and breathing hah.

"Your Majesty is the Demon King, isn't he?

"............ ok. Follow me, Akwinas!

Akwinas immediately pulls back his expression and kneels down to answer after a whopping grin.

"My pleasure."

Akwinas laughed unintentionally about the 'Demon Nation' and not just the 'Beast Nation', which he would probably lose his temper from now on.

- [Gedurt's Bridge].

It is the only bridge that connects the continents of the Beast Nation to the Demon Nation.

And now, across that bridge, the stare of the 'Beasts' and the 'Demons' continued.

"They didn't have soldiers on this side..."

What whines with a rugged look is Leood King, the commander-in-chief of the National Army of War, making him king of [Beast Kingdom/Pacion].

He stares at the end of the bridge with fierce beast eyes as he rocks the splendid hyena in the wind.

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

"Well, if you were on this side, I would have killed them all."

Sadly, it is Lenion, the second prince.

Unlike Leo Wood, he has a slightly fine, skinny body. It may be its temperament that inherited it thickly from Leo Wood.

"I still fight...... Don't you carry it the way you want..."

It is the First Prince Leggles who regrets it in a different way than Lenion. He also has an atmosphere that seems unreliable for a few minutes compared to Leo Wood, but still takes over the bloodiest on the outside. Either he has a polite personality.

"Father, what will you do? We have a fair amount of fighting power on the other side there, too. I was wondering if I should look at the other way out first."

"Um, this is within my expectations, too. As originally planned, at first - put the array in."

In the words, those who were on the spot have a creepy grin. It's like a hunter with a locked target.

"Are you ready, Uhit?

Leo Wood calls me by my name, and a man in white appears from behind him.

"Nyohohohohohohohohoho! You can always do this one! Let me fully confirm the results of my research! Nyohohohohohohoho!"

A man with green hair and bumpy, white coats and yore yore, and glued glasses looks unclean to see is laughing high. There is a long rabbit growing over its head.

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

"Nyohohohohohoho! Crouch, you can do it!

All black, black looking Beast Man - Crouch leaves in front of everyone.

"I got it!

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

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

The bracelet that Crouch fits into his right arm glows suspiciously.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

That's like a shadow stretching. More from that, one monster after another emerges. And surprisingly, they are not ordinary monsters.

It corrodes everywhere in your body, your skin is rotten, and it also stinks like a stubborn nose.

There is no stopping from the shadows, the monsters emerge one after the other, slowly at their feet, making sure to proceed along the bridge.

"Nyohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho! My Undying Legion!

The voice of Uhit sounds and is filled with monsters from the bridge between Don and the beast human side.

Around the time the Beastman was attacking the monster, on the other side, a soldier who had detected the Beastman's movements had come to tell Marione Judeau Crisis, the "second in sequence" of the "Immediate Guard of the Demon King" entrusted with the command of the protection here.

"Finally, has it moved? You filthy beasts, they'll destroy you!

There was a willingness to kill that could be described as vicious enough for even his fellow soldiers to swallow.

He has a past in which his wife and son were murdered by the Beastman, and because of this he has unparalleled anger emotions in the Beastman.

I wished for this front-line command because I thought I could slaughter one or more beasts.

"... Dear Marione"

"Mm-hmm? What is it, Chewie?

Suddenly it was a man called Chewguy who appeared kneeling behind his back. There is a single horn growing in my head. My face looks like a noble face and I have no shaking on my expression. He is the loyal minister of Marione.

"They seem to be ahead of the line using some kind of monster. How do you like it?

"Well, from what I hear, it looks like you've knitted out how and how beast researchers can use monsters."

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

"Hmm, they're just S-ranked, and you think they can handle it?

"I thought maybe it was a throwaway pawn to see how this one came out."

"That means there's a chance you'll keep an even stronger monster. Hmm, lamenting the lack of combat power, you desperate, scratchy beast. Keep your bad wits on."

Marione tongues abominably.

"Dear Marione,"

"Hmm?"

"Please give this chewy a part here. I will make you realize how unreliable the power that those filthy beasts have prepared is."

With that word Marione laughs niggardly.

"Fine. But just stop it with the monsters. The Beast Man... I'll kill him."

"Ha!"

When Chewie grows wings from his back, he disappears from the spot to the sky like the wind.

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

Marione's eyes were filled with contempt and anger.

"What's the situation?

When Leo Wood, king of beasts, asks Uhit, he answers, laughing in a flamboyant manner that he does not even remember some anxiety.

"Nyohohohohohoho! Apparently there's one over there! But it seems like you've thrown in quite a bit of hand work! Nyohohohohohohoho!"

"Have you come to stop in the middle of the bridge after all? Who the hell is that?

"I saw it via the eyes of my beloved zombies, but apparently it's like a chewy one!

"Father, it is true that Chewie is Marione's man."

Leggles, the first prince I was listening to, answers.

"Well, is that Demon King's Direct Guard in command?"

"In war, the Immediate Guard of the Demon King is always beside the Demon King. Besides, Marione should be" second in sequence ". I didn't know such a person would go to such a frontline...... is there anything?

"Nyohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho!

"Well, he wants to hunt our lives with his own hands... I guess that's what he thinks"

Leo Wood's words were shooting at the target.

"I think a monster can stop you enough if you're about chewy, what do you do?

I'm coming.

"Lenion......?

And it was Lenion that broke into it.

"I don't know how long you'll be here. If you don't mind. Somebody needs to cut it out, right?

"Wait a minute, Lenion, you're the prince of nothing, you don't have to go now..."

"Brother, this is war. You have to use whatever you can. You can't win. Fortunately, my masquerade is more effective in these spacious places."

Lenion looks up at the straight-extended bridge and joyfully raises the end of his mouth. That look clearly shows the sentiment of wanting to fight fast.

"Besides, if you're a monster, how much do you want to get involved? If a soldier is caught up in my moves and dies, he'll be looking forward to it."

Renion with a fierce grin for light-hearted things to say. The soldiers believe that if we could only think a little more warmly, we would be better than the Leggles as princes.

Lenion is better at strength. In a world of beasts whose strength would otherwise say things, it was supposed to be his brother, the next king, but his character was not much of a favorite.

A mind that is too belligerent and doesn't care much for people has bought its disapproval as a king.

"Hey Dad, what's up? Can I kill you?

Leo Wood conceives of such Lenion words for a little while.

"............ ok. But just a little bit more..."

When I almost said that, a voice rises from a soldier who was observing the bridge.

"What's up!?

Leo Wood speaks up wondering if there might have been any movement in the war situation.

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

Everyone's gaze gathers in the direction of the soldier pointing his finger.

"What is it?

Leowood stares at the bridge. Then I saw two small dots from over there.

"What the fuck? Ha!?

That was a question that everyone on the spot thought.

"What is it!?

Marione's fury echoes. Because the soldiers around me were upset and zazzled. This is also confusing for the soldiers, which means that there are quite a few problems that cannot be left unattended.

"... something happened to Chewie?

That's what Marione came up with. He asked me to entrust Monster Payment to him earlier. He seemed to wonder if he had failed like that.

"Yes, no..."

The soldiers are turning their faces bright blue. Some of them are suddenly solidified, and it feels as if they've seen something incredible.

Marione, who boiled her business, exposes her frustration and screams.

"Yes! Explain what happened!

"Ha, yes, no!

Tell me exactly what you have confirmed after a soldier who regained his sanity with Marione's angry mixed scream kneels. The look on Marione's face, who was listening to the story, also tenses up as she sees it.

And as I step through the ground bakidly, I raise my voice in anger.

"What does that mean? Huh!

"Hih!?

"Why is that happening? Whoa!

"Wow, wow, I dunno. Huh!?

Desperately the soldier answers, but nothing comes in Marione's ear anymore.

Marione gazes guillotinely over the bridge. There are now, as the soldiers have told me, two points indeed - no, I could see the two figures.

"Yes, what the hell... what do you mean...?

Speak out as you squeeze your teeth out with a critical bite.

"Why are those two here?"
