Maou no Hajimekata

"Wake up."

Pattin, and the moment Oulu rattles his fingers, the light returns to Radico's eyes. The chopped clothes were repaired, but the hands and feet remain restrained just in case.

"That? Me......"

Blinking his pussy and eyes, Radico looks around. And the moment I saw Oul's face, I dyed his face so bright red that it seemed to make a sound with Pong.

"Wow. Wow. What!? What's going on?

Then he notices both hands and feet restrained for the first time in an attempt to hold his cheek, and Radico hesitates.

"Don't panic. I'm not going to do any harm."

face closer, Oul said.

"If only you hadn't harmed us."

"Goddamn it, I won't add it. I won't add it! I'll never add it. Hey! So untie this and keep your face away from me!

Oulu clapped to Radico, who said so more lightly than he thought. Beyond being kept abreast of Floro's trends, it should be assumed that he is already known about the curse using Oulu's contract.

But too lightly, Radico made a promise not to cause harm. I don't know, do you have the skills to disable the curse?

"Ah. Shit, you can't have promised."

Thinking, for example, Radico let his mouth slide lightly.

"Yes, I don't think I should decide what I didn't promise right now?

"... I don't mind, in which case your body stays the same."

"Oh, my God! Whatever, don't bother... don't bother, don't bother..."

Oulu pressed his forehead against Radico, who was in trouble with his eyebrow-roots in a hurry. If this is an act, its acting ability is not within the bounds of intelligence.

"You know what? I don't want to slap you about Oul-kun anyway... I promise!

"O, Oul-kun......!?

"Is that it? How do you know Oul-kun's name?"

Memories in hypnosis are pushed unconsciously and cannot be remembered. However, superficial knowledge such as names can be frivolous. What surprised Oulu was not that Radico remembered Oulu's name, but that way of calling it too Frank.

"Never mind. Then I'll let you go."

"Hmm? Yeah, please..."

When Patchouli and Oulu ring their fingers, the walls that were restraining Radico's hands and feet disappear to melt.

At the next moment, Radico was storming toward Oulu as he had been played.

"Oul-kun ♡ Now I'm finally ready to go ♡"

"Wait! Stop! You're gonna crush me!?

It doesn't matter if the invisible labyrinth that surrounds the oul (Rabulinthos) embodies it, Radico tries to hug the goose and the oul. The unseen labyrinth, which did not even scratch one Sarnak sword, screamed Mississippi, and Oul screamed in haste.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just a little powerful..."

Radico rushed away with such excuses. Radico himself has no sense of harm. The deadly embrace was therefore not contrary to the promise we had made earlier. I guess I didn't send you for this anymore, Oulu reckons.

"Well, it's Radico. I want to ask you something. I'm glad you answered."

"Yeah, ask me anything!

Oul was puzzled by the favorable reaction to the yakitori. I did imply that the more I felt better, the more I liked them, but they are enemies as a premise in the first place. That should have been a more unconscious action to work with.

Is there any reason - or is Radico so simple in character? Like half the possibilities, Oulu is all alone inside.

"Radico, what are you doing here?

To Oulu's words poking at the core, Radico squeezes his expression seriously.

"... you know"

And I answered with a determined look.

"About me... if you're Oulu, you can call me Lady."

What are you up to?

Oul barely swallows the fury that went out to his throat.

"Okay.... Lady, can you tell me?

"Yeah. The orders I got... kill that kid, that's what I'm saying."

If you ask again, Radico answered lightly pointing to Floro.

"Why?

"I don't know. Master Fructo just told me... Ah."

He leaks his name, and Radico hurries to hold his mouth.

"Fructo......!?

Hearing the name, Floro was stunned to open his eyes.

"You know what?"

"Fructo is... a samurai who used to take care of me. No way, how could she...?

To see Floro upset, he's the person he trusted considerably.

"Must be... some mistake..."

He shook his head and said, Floro looked up at Oul's face. It was very unlikely to Floro, for example, that Fructo had issued such a directive. But...

People will betray you.

That's what he said, he wouldn't believe it if Floro sued him that way. That's what I thought.

"Well, that's possible."

But in contradiction to the proposal, Oul said so lightly.

"Huh...? Do you believe me?

"Believe it or not"

To Floro, who blinked his eyes, Oul said in a frightened manner.

"Too little information in the first place. Is it something you can judge in this situation? There's plenty of potential for false information."

"Oh, Oul-kun, I'm not lying!

Sticking it in Oulu's arms, putting up with it all the time, Radico.

"I know that. But you may be fooling yourself."

"Oh, well."

But she was lightly convinced by Oul's words. Which means she doesn't trust Fructo as much as she does.

"I don't know why I would kill Floro in this situation in the first place. If you wanted to kill me, you'd have had as many opportunities as you ever had."

Floro is also convinced that that is true. Before I met Oulu, when Floro was just a slave, I would have been able to kill him without any bitterness.

"Yes, right......! I can't believe Fructo was supposed to try to kill me..."

"Well, there's no material to deny it. Maybe I thought I'd kill him simply because I was blind."

And Oulu said unto Floro, whose expression glowed all the time.

"Me too! Which is it!?

"Know what? Because I don't know, to both...... no. Prepare for all possibilities."

I wondered if they were making fun of me, Floro thought, but Oulu's expression is serious in itself.

"Every, every possibility…"

"I told you. ─ ─ People will betray you."

And Oul uttered the word again, which he had said many times before.

"The most vigilant of them all must be yourself. I want this to happen. Here's what should happen.... such thoughts cloud your eyes immediately"

To its true meaning, Floro glances.

I find it very hard to believe that Fructo betrayed himself, etc.

On the other hand, I think so, if I really betrayed you. That's what I think of myself.

"Get ready for everything. And on top of that, keep questioning everything."

But Oul says he'll forgive both. Both of those things are necessary, and that's not enough.

"That's the most effective choice to make to survive safely."

"... Yes, Oulu!

To Kaoru the Master, the disciple nods vigorously. In those eyes, there is no longer any stray.

... No. I was ready to get lost to the fullest. No matter how complicated the maze, we don't call it getting lost in following all its paths.

"Oul-kun, that's cool ♡"

"Yeah, so don't hug me!

Oulu was willing to die for the embrace of Radhiko, who was impressed by Floro's determination in his heart.
