Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (WN)

135: as a new comrade.

Suddenly I wonder if I've changed the subject too much.

But the other person has a serious look. Maybe there's a point in showing a knife here, for sure.

That's what I think. Pull out the "Absolute Knife/Zangeki" from the waist to the sheath.

Then a shadow appeared riding on the sun-colored shoulder,

"Hey you! If you do anything to Zangeki, I won't forgive you!

That was Ten. Since he is integrated with Zangeki, he seems to have given advice because he thinks he will have trouble getting something done by a knife.

"... surprised. Could you be the 'Spirit'?

"Heh - how can you spot it at a glance! Hmm? Dude, you can't be..."

Ten stares at Jizz Kuzel and observes him stare.

You noticed something...?

The sun color was also concerned about Ten's condition again, but he was squeaking to remember the bumps and something.

(I hope you don't say bumps on someone else's shoulder...)

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

".................. What!? This... I see..."

Ignoring Tenn's story, Kuzel looks jizzily at him as if he were pulling out a knife and having a dialogue with his eyes.

From the edge, he just looks like a painful guy talking to a knife.

"Oh, so he can talk to his own sword."

Lillin answered my question, but this sight still has something to be afraid of.

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

At first he looked at the knife and looked stunned, but he nodded again and again as if he was gradually good at it.

".................. hehe"

"What's wrong with you?

All of a sudden Kuzel laughed, so he was concerned and called out, and Kuzel just said "no" and he gave a knife back to his sheath.

"Apparently, she's already left my hand."

……

"The kid told me. About you, the master of the present, and the covenant Lord Tenn."

"Ah, my name..."

You didn't even name it, but I figured it out, I guess, because I asked the sword. It was a stuttering thing to be able to really talk to a knife.

"And I was just amazed. I didn't know you were growing to be a Spirit Knife... but this is more of an evolution than a growth anymore"

"Ha-ha-ha!

Ten is bragging his chest out.

"Plus this shaping............ very beautiful finish. You've lifted your arms, Zaph."

"So? What did you think when you talked to the knife?

"Right, it's been a long time since I've talked to that kid. I've been told a lot."

"A lot?"

"Most importantly, about Winkaa... he scolded me. Don't make me feel lonely."

Everyone stares at him in silence, smiling bitterly as they mock themselves.

"... I never thought this would happen"

I stare at Lillin's face as I say so.

"Zangeki taught me. I don't know who he is...... and I also conveyed my will to have absolute trust in him like that. And that he... supports your dreams."

"Naturally! Hiiro's a weasel!

"Say the joke in your sleep"

"Huh! You don't seem to understand the position yet."

"Let it go. I'm not gonna be a servant of a young girl like a perverted butler."

"Hey, don't call me a toddler. Wow!

"Nofofofofofofofo! It's great stuff! And a servant of a young girl! Nofofofofofofofo!"

It's exactly what I'm about to get into chaos.

"... hehe"

The sun and Lillin stare at the slightly laughing Kuzel.

"" What's wrong with you?

Hammock and tell him to threaten, but Kuzel takes a natural attitude as if to recieve it.

"No, I just kind of figured out how Mr. Lillin came to follow the dream he was about to give up again."

Lillin snorts out as distracted by a gentle smile that won't kill the bugs either.

"I'm sure Mr. Lillin said he was out of standard."

Did you say that... or I think the existence of Lillin is definitely out of standard.

"What's wrong with that?

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

…………

"The ideal of what you call [a place for all people to enjoy]. It must chase a dreams like that, but I'm sure I can play it where I can reach it and disappear, that's why I didn't mean to shake my neck vertically no matter how much I was invited."

No one is listening without pinching his mouth to tell his story with a smile on his face.

"The world today, unlike it used to be, is out of order. We will contend only for the certainties that have arisen from the differences in race and for rights and power, and seek greater power to win that contest. And the loser grieves with pain, which leads to hatred, and the strife spreads again. My chest was about to be crushed just to find out that my children were involved in that fight."

It is self-evident reason that we have the power to win the feud.

And it is also true to seek a weapon strong in its power. Those in power who can produce that weapon will have tried to use that hand to dictate it.

"Weapons are not just decorative. I knew that. I just wanted you to use it to protect something irreplaceable and important... But I was stupid. Such a sweet ideal couldn't have come true either. Times are times...... I wasn't sure about that. Ironically I figured that out after the important ones were killed with the weapons they created...... so I decided to disappear. I swear I won't make weapons or anything to kill people again..."

The weapons he made will still be everywhere.

And that must continue to be used in war. He is turning away from such reality.

"... that's just a weak sound, you"

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

"I don't want a reason to build a weapon, so I will. In the first place, weapons are a tool to fight no matter how you handle them."

"... Yes"

"Whatever thoughts you make of a weapon, in the end, whoever uses it determines the value of the weapon"

"... you're right"

"In the end, you just don't like someone acting righteous with your own weapon, do you?

…………

"I just keep turning away from reality and running away. About your daughter."

"Huh?"

"Everything, my thoughts are sweet. I told you he taught you that too.

That's what I said, pointing to "Zangeki".

"You're the father. Whatever you do, wherever you hide, as long as you're Kuzel Gio, he's his father. If you're a father, don't make your child feel lonely."

"... Mr. Hiiro"

"Running away is not a bad thing in itself. Sometimes I can see it by doing so. But the worst part is, you keep running."

"... Huh!?

A kuzel that opens its eyes wide like a shock.

"What you really need to do is pull into a cage like this, right? If you have a lot of power, why don't you exercise it and move on?

".............................. hehe"

"What's wrong?

"Oh, no. Sorry.... As I said earlier, I really didn't mean to get out of here no matter what they said. There is also a risk that my presence may once again become a spark of contention..."

If we do know of his existence, it is not strange that he has plotted abductions forcefully, especially if he is known to King Rudolph and others.

"Xel......"

"Mr. Lillin... they did it."

"Huh?"

"... the appearance of this boy was unexpected. No, it was a surprise."

"That's why I told you. The existence of the coin goes diagonally up the anticipation."

The color of the sun frowned uncomfortably because she was told it was tight and she pointed at her finger.

"Yeah, you're absolutely right. I didn't expect him to meet my daughter and show her the Zangeki that evolved. I didn't expect a good old adult to get so much sermon that I couldn't even argue with it..."

Kuzel stares into the sun-colored eyes and laughs softly.

"Why laugh?

"No............... May I ask you one thing?

"... if I can answer that."

"Thank you"

Kuzel then sits upright and stretches his spine.

Unexpectedly, the sun sat on the spot. The two face each other in a face-to-face fashion as they are.

"I asked the kid..." Zangeki, "but he seems to have full faith in you. We've known each other a long time."

That's right. Rather than "Zangeki", "Tsulanuki" can be said to be the first companion of the Japanese color. The length of the relationship would be better than anyone else's.

"But I don't want my weapon to be used in war or anything. They were retrieving my children, who would have been scattered all over the world for it."

I was aware of that because Lillin has asked me to some extent.

"The Zangeki was also originally a child of mine. What would you do if I told you I wanted you to stop using that child in battle?

"Is that the question?

"Yes."

I stare into Ji and Kuzel's eyes. He had clear eyes looking straight at this one. It was understandable that I would surely not be convinced with a semi-productive answer.

"... sorry but I can't do that"

"Why not?

He's mine now.

…………

"Therefore, I do not intend to respect the will of anyone"

".................. I did say that child was out of my hands. But weapons easily hurt people. If used incorrectly, it can easily take a person's life, lead to hatred and grief and greatly create those black emotions. And that will be true in war. Still, are you going to wave that kid?

"Naturally. I fight my enemies. Besides, weapons aren't just for hurting people, are they? As I said earlier, the point depends on the user's mind buildup. Something to protect you. That's what you said."

"............... you've taken one of these"

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

"Your way......?

"Oh, even I'm not going to slaughter people like it. But if you stand in my way, I'll push you through."

"Even if people die as a result?

"Ready, already"

I look back at Jizz Kuzel's eyes like I forgot to blink.

"I'm going to play Zangeki to protect my path."

"Whoa! Me, Zangeki and Hiiro are together forever!

Ten makes the V-sign look like Kuzel. I don't care. I want you to declare it off your shoulder.

Did I tell you what I thought I would do, when I went down from my shoulder to Piong?

"Besides, honey, Hiiro doesn't fight to make Zangeki sad. That's all I got, Ten, to cover for you!

I've said something unsolicited, so - Paco!

"It hurts! Why are you hitting me?

"Don't come out of the side, Huang Zal."

"That's good! Zangeki is integrating with me! I mean, it's my story about the knife!

- Paco!

"So don't hit me. Come on!

Ten taking distance from the sun color while rubbing his head with his hands with tears.

"Just shut up for a second. And even if you don't cover it, as long as this knife believes in me, I'll keep believing it."

For a moment, Kuzel's eyes open, and he gives a look with a tender grin.

"Well, apparently, Zangeki found a good husband."

Then he lowers his head quietly, pointing his body toward Lillin as it is. Lillin was also baffled at first, but immediately understood the meaning of his act relative with a serious face.

"Mr. Lillin, with all your dreams, with all your slight power, let me take one end of those dreams, too. No, let me help you."

"... um. Nice to meet you, Kuzel!

Lillin makes a happy smile and nods contentedly.

Siuba is similarly nodding at each other as if she were communicating her will with Lillin face-to-face with Shamoe.

Lillin was heartily satisfied that the visit of the sun color had produced the results as she thought.

I thought it might take a little longer, but I was surprised to hear about Kuzel's kid, who didn't even predict Lillin, but brilliant Kuzel was able to get results that would shake his neck vertically.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Siuba tells me to slap him in the ear.

"Um, I didn't think Xel was gonna break today."

"Nofofofo, you have truly exceeded our expectations."

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

That would have been nice if Kuzel had promised me to take on one end that would support my dreams, but no matter how much disguise I put on, I'm anxious for Kuzel to get out so easily.

Because if someone who knows him sees who he is, there's a good chance that an extra problem will surface.

And Kuzel cares about that again, too.

"One thing, I have a disability. Are you sure?

Regardless of the obstacle, it was a problem Lillin had earlier.

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

When we were all trying to figure out a solution to that problem and it bothered our minds,

"That doesn't matter, does it?

Words were uttered with a pale sun colour, so they were distressed and hardened.

But as Lillin came up with it, when it got hacked,

"Oh, yeah! Exactly! Isn't there too much out of the question here, a user of unruly magic!

That said, Lillin herself must be the owner of enough unruly magic, but no one poked there.

"Oh, no, wait a minute... Hiiro, are you... are you gonna do that?

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

He means Winkaa, the daughter of Kuzel. I don't know what kind of loan was between the two of us, but I guess the fact that the sun color is a convincing one is quite a big one.

"Right...... this is a demon world and I'll keep it as a 'demon tribe'"

gaze at Kuzel while the sun color says so,

"Huh? Uh... Whatever...?

Naturally Kuzel won't understand when others realize that the sun will be colored from now on.

"Kuzel."

"Mr. Lillin......"

"Don't move, stay jizzy. Something funny happens."

Raise the corner of your mouth so that your child is up to something. But he unsettlingly turns his gaze to Siuba. He looked like a little animal asking for help.

"Nofofofofofofofo! You'll be fine! I'll be done in a minute!

"Oh, um, explain if you can!

"Huh, you guys, keep him down!

When Lillin points her fingertips at Xel,

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

It's Camus who nicks his left arm so he doesn't run away, Mikazuki his right arm, and strangles his feathers.

"Do it! Hiiro!"

"... I don't think you need to exaggerate anything so much... well, bye"

The sun colour writes the letter 'change' and points it at Kuzel.

"Uh... Um... what the hell is that..."

Release letters in disregard of Kuzel's confusion. And stick pitch on his forehead.

Then a warm blue and white light wraps him up.

It didn't take that long. The light gradually faded, and out of that light -.

"Um, you're a brilliant 'demon tribe', Kuzel! Kuhahahahaha!"

"Huh? Huh? Uh...?

"Take this, Lord Kuzel."

Siuba hands him a hand mirror that is bewilderingly suspicious of behavior. He doesn't know what it is either, and for now he takes it and makes sure of his own face, which he fears.

"............... Yes?

………………………………

…………………………

……………………

………………

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!?

What was reflected there was a light purple hair color with pointy ears and pale black skin discoloration.

He looked like a 'demon tribe' with three small horns growing from his forehead.

The presence of the yellow hair, which was beautiful, the beast ear, which was located with the piocon on top of it, and the tail, which housed the fluffy hair, which was on the glutes, had disappeared beautifully.

"Kuhahahahahahaha! Doesn't it look great out there, Kuzel!

"Yeah, you're already a fine 'demon tribe' from anywhere!

Lilyn and Siuba are smiling with pleasure, but Kuzel is still consolidating without being able to grasp the current situation.

"... this is no way... unique magic... is it?

"Ho, still get it? Well, if you want to hear more, you can ask Hiiro. I don't think I'm gonna answer that honestly!

Kuzel turns her face to the sun color as she says.

"Hmm? For now, don't worry, even if it's magically deactivated, it won't go back to normal. I'll disarm you when we get back to normal."

"Uh... okay"

Kuzel also seemed to have decided to relieve herself for now, knowing that there was no problem going out with this.

The day colors returned to the castle, but there was no sign of Kuzel, a new companion among them.

He says he needs to clear out the address he made in [Shanjmon Cave], so he wants some time.

Lilyn is not in a special hurry either, so I told her to show her face to the castle when she's done organizing her neighborhood.

I told Yveam, the demon king, and asked him to take me to the room where the suncolors were honored when Xel arrived.

Lilyn was in a pretty good mood to return to the castle because she was well transported.

That would be so. There should be nothing to say about Kuzel's solicitation, which was probably impossible on its own, because it could have been accomplished in just one day.

The toddler girl who makes Siuba prepare alcohol and drink enough to take a bath with Gubi Gubi, what a surreal thing, but then I saw her fall asleep with Patali and thought she was still a child as she seemed.

The next day, he says to Siuba that he refused the request of the young girl who was coming with magic because she had a headache, regardless of whether she replied twice, and that the sun color was ready for business to go to a certain place.

"Which way are you going?

"Oh, hey, [Beast Kingdom]."

Siuba looked a little surprised, but quietly sent me off without asking for any details. In terms of not doing extra prying, Siuba can be described as a pretty good person.

Mikazuki and Nikki went shopping in the city with Shamoe.

Lilyn fell down with a hangover, and Siuba was restrained by that nurse. So it was the sun color and Camus, and the three Tens who were free to move now...... no, they were two and one.

Tenn, anyway, told Camus to leave a message, but he had no choice but to allow him to accompany him because he said he was going to follow him hard.

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

The samurai will guide you in front of the door to let you know that she knocked and the sun came. Voices are received from inside to allow entry, the sun colour, the camus, and the ten enter and go into the room.

"What's up, Hiiro? If it's about a man named Kuzel earlier, have you already heard from Lord Siuba?

I haven't seen Yveam's face say that in a long time. Tiredness is hidden somewhere.

We should be at a stage where we are now in the process of making a "permanent alliance" with the Beast Man. I did what I promised to get in a place of duel, but I should be travelling to and from each other's countries to deal with political issues about the alliance, etc.

I heard that she was in a rush for days on that issue and was working almost immediately after going to bed.

I behaved with temperament, but under thin makeup I still hadn't completely hidden out my fatigue.

But I'm also certain that this is an important time. I'm not going to be involved in the politics of the 'Demon Nation', nor is it the kind of thing I speak out for, being an outsider.

So I decide to keep watching and pretend not to see and tell the real story.

"I'm not talking about that. We're going to [Beast Nation] for a while."

"... Really? I guess you won't tell me what to do..."

You understand the character of the sun color, and you flaunt your shoulders as if you gave up anticipating a reply and listening.

(Do they think I'm that secretive?

Sometimes it helps a lot to be so easily prefetched and given up, as for this one, but I also find something somewhere unintelligible.

"No, I'm looking after you here for once. Plus, I understand a little bit about my position. So why don't you tell me why you're going? Well, not a big reason."

The Japanese are now renting a large room in Demon King's Castle to live in.

Whether it's because Yveam told me to, it's not that I don't remember to thank you because I also indulge in the delicious meals and baths that Moosung makes every day.

Even though I have no part in politics, I also understand that I have been treated as a hero and a useful actor who led the 'Demons' to victory in a duel.

I go to a different country even if I am an ally, so I think it's best to say why.

"Oh, really?

Eveam blinks and looks out unexpectedly over and over again. Although Akwinas next door still doesn't show any upset.

"Oh, there's two of us here and one of us to go"

"Hey Hiiro! He asked me to count me as one!

Yveam is Kyotong because Ten on the shoulder of the sun suddenly spoke.

With that said, I didn't tell her I had a contract with the Spirit.

"Hey, what's that animal?

Naturally Yveam has stuttered,

"............... you're a spirit. Hiiro, did you possibly sign a contract?

That's just Akwinas. I've just identified myself as the Spirit at a glance, or I've even spotted the covenant.

"Sort of. He's the Ten of Yellow Monkeys."

"No, you're the only one who calls me by those two names!

"Say what. It will be easy to call, Yellow Monkey."

"............... that's all right now. Nice to meet you, Demon Kings..."

You realize there's no point in defying the stubborn, unbreakable posture of the sun color. I just said hello while dropping my shoulders in dismay.

"Keh, the contract... how far is Hiiro... no, maybe you shouldn't say anything anymore... So, what? That's why we're going over there..."

"It's about the blacksmith, actually."

"Oh, of a man named Kuzel?

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

"... to whom?

"Ex-travel buddy."

"... oh"

Yveam nods whether he thought of the Anolds, who were friends with the sun color in a duel setting.

"Right, just tell him?

"... No, you do. Just in time, shall I ask the Beast King to pay me back one thing? I don't know if you'll listen to me..."

"... um, don't be impotent, okay?

Eveam, whose tone changes.

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

I guess it's only advice because I actually know it's out of standard for Japanese colors, but it seems Yveam could only sigh against unconscious Japanese colors.

"But Hiiro, you know what's going on over there right now?

"Big deal?

She told me that [Beast Kingdom/Passion] had been attacked by two black figures.

And the fact that the people are probably Avoros' hands...

"I see. You're moving a lot. That Temple Demon King."

"Te, temple......? Well, that's the situation over there anyway, so maybe you shouldn't act too badly."

If that did happen, [Pacion] would be tingling now. Maybe even a little irritation will overreact.

"Well, the soldiers on the other side know about Hiiro, so it may not matter, but still... whatever attacked the country was with the Beast Man... because he seems human"

"Human?"

"Oh, so Hiiro, the same 'human race', won't look good, either. If you want to go, you should magically change it."

"... I see, thank you for the information, Demon King"

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

A sigh clearly leaked from Yveam as he nodded slightly and tried to return his heel.

That wasn't like my daughter-in-law putting it out, I felt as if it was a middle-aged jerk chasing me to work and stressing me out.

When the day color stops pitifully and lightly lettering, it releases the letter straight to Yveam.

Akwinas just watched silently without trying to stop him from realizing it from the beginning.

"What!? Hey, what?

Yveam with a mass of magic hitting him and panicking. There was a Japanese colour in front of me poking my fingertips.

The moment you decide this is his work, the gentle light wraps your body around.

Then the whole body feels too comfortable.

A feeling of jittery and heat spreading from the back of your body, like when you drink warm soup to your cold body.

Its calm fever went all over her body and she felt like she was floating in her dreams.

It seems as though it is in the cheer of spring and surrounded by a pleasant breeze.

Around, the animals ran happily through the field, and the sky represented a clear heaven with no inches of cloudiness.

(I don't know... it feels so good...)

Yveam's consciousness whitened out quietly, wrapped in light.

"Thank you, Hiiro."

He uttered as Akwinas lay down on his desk and watched Yveam asleep.

"I didn't ask you if we were to take a break, because we've always been stuffed."

"I guess so. I didn't even mislead you with makeup, the neighborhood under my eyes."

"... Sure, it's a time of great importance with all sorts of problems, but it was just annoying when they broke my body"

"Never mind. He just gave me what I needed to know."

"Huh, let's do that"

Akwinus staring with tender eyes at Yveam sleeping feeling good with the letter 'Sleep Well' in the sun colour. It felt as if the father was pointing it at his daughter.

"You support the king, too, don't you? Then you can avoid falling. I don't know if I can help you, but you're disqualified as a sidekick, aren't you?

"... you're hurting my ears"

All I'm saying is that the sun color is no longer in use, and now it's time to try to get out of the room.

"Hiiro, thank you"

"... don't say it again"

Pathan and the door closed, and indoors he became one of the girls resting with Akwinas.

"He won't admit it, but you've already become irreplaceable to the 'Demon Nation'... no, even to this Sleeping Princess..."

A quiet grunt echoed indoors, but it was not a lonely one, but a voice containing something gentle and warm.
