Maou No Utsuwa

The hustle and bustle of downtown is also completely distant, with the neighborhood showing a thinner, dirtier setting. alley with a slightly deeper entrance into the slums. Through there, there is a slightly expanded open space.

That's what Kamui is after.

Eventually, why do you see so much space in the Glades that you think a place like this is? Closer together, the burnt wood rolls around, giving visitors a clear idea of what happened there.

A fire that happened a few days ago. That burned down many buildings and made this a vacant lot with nothing.

But that was a few days later. Once the inhabitants have collected the waste material, they will eventually be lined up with crude buildings that cannot even be called original, huts.

Kamui didn't come to check the burn marks separately. I'm meeting you here. Even though that's not what it was meant to be.

When Kamui arrived in the open space, the meeting person was already there.

"How'd it go?

It's Dark you've been talking to.

"From what I've seen, there's three of us."

The number I told Dark is the number of those who are coming after Kamui.

"That's the same number we checked over here. Are you sure about that?

After that, Dark's people are following him further. Naturally, they haven't noticed.

"Maybe I'll be all right, but I can't stay alert."

"For once, there are people everywhere. I don't think they'll let you get away with it."

"Are you all right?

"Where do you think you are? Our territory."

"I don't think it's a big deal for my head to see where I've come so far with stupid honesty. But you don't know the power."

"Looks like we're going to be late for college students, so we're going to be considerate. Well, look."

"Is that true, too? Yeah, I'll give you this just in case."

To say this, Kamui gave Dark the knife he had taken out of his pocket. A short knife that at first glance reveals a special object with intricate tattoos on its glowing sheath.

"What's this?

"If it's about low-level magic, it should be preventable. There's a chance the attack will turn that way. Put it on."

The knife I gave Dark was a magic trick. Magic defensive magic guidance is applied.

"Do you have a lot of this stuff?

"It was in my father's artifact."

"Isn't that a shadow? I won't keep it."

"Don't deposit it. Do it. I don't need it. Plus, if it's my father's shape, I have something more important."

"But..."

Dark is also an orphan. My feelings for something similar to my parents' memories are stronger than normal.

"From now on, maybe Dark could be targeted for his life, too, right? If that's what protects Dark's life, it's cheap."

To be said so far, it seems worse to refuse. Looking a little lit up, he thanked Kamui and Dark missed his short knife.

"Now, the fact that you're not doing anything means you're not willing to have Dirk with you. Go back first. I'll move in a little while."

"... be careful"

"Easy win, if you just knock it down"

"Right. See you later."

Dark leaving the scene. I just dropped it off until I couldn't see its back, and Kamui also returned to the path I had come in slow footsteps.

A little ahead of you through the open space. So suddenly, fireballs flew from both sides. Kamui to identify the orbit and quickly avoid it.

"Heck, shit."

The bruising words leak out of Kamui's mouth. Yet another thing, now wind magic.

In the darkness, even the wind magic, which should not be visible, let Kamui triumph by laying down her body lightly.

Hiding, the enemy's signs of agitation were somehow felt.

Three people have unleashed magic. Now it should be everyone's. I already know where he is. That would be the same for Dark's people who should be surrounding them.

I began to hear the noise of the hustle and bustle everywhere without the next magic being unleashed. Occasionally, the light that illuminates the perimeter would be the magic emitted by the enemy.

And that's just a little time, too. Silence returned around again.

Still, Kamui doesn't move on the spot. I'm standing still and watching what's going on around me.

Eventually what I saw was a black shadow. The shadow came straight to Kamui. Put on your black outfit and your hair is black. It feels like the shadow itself, even if it comes right up to it, in places like black all over the body. The only thing that shines in the darkness is the red eyes on the black headscarf covering your mouth.

"You're Mr. Kamui, right? I'm here to report. Control is complete."

With a hung voice, I can tell that the shadow is a girl.

"Are your people hurt?

"One scratch on the scratch. No problem at all."

"That's good"

"One, I'm keeping you alive. What do you want to do?

Dirk's people could afford to keep their enemies alive and catch them. Sometimes Dark just shows confidence.

"I don't want it. I know who it is."

"Now, dispose of it here"

"Oh, please"

"For once, I'll give you this"

"What?"

"Who instructed me to do it, I made him write it"

Exactly, Kamui was also surprised by this. After that, did you honestly confess or did you have a way to make it do it?

"... that's fast. Thank you, tell the others who cooperated that I was thankful. Take care of that scratch."

"Okay."

"Well, here I am."

"Oh, that."

Where Kamui tried to walk away, the shadow, unlike before, had a slightly upward voice.

"What?"

"Kamui said, no, Kamui really..."

This way of calling, Kamui knew what they wanted to hear. Without making me say it to the end, Kamui throws the question the other way.

"You're a half, aren't you?

"Yes, it's the half of the Vampires and the people"

"That's unusual. Half a vampire."

"Yes......"

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's not a pleasure to meet you. Meet me here means your mother is miserable."

"No, I don't care. So..."

"It's none of your business who I am. I don't care about me, I want you to support Dirk. Dirk and I have different ways, but we should be looking for the same thing."

"Okay!

A vampao half girl responding vibrantly to Kamui's words. Kamui started walking, laughing bitterly at the reaction.

◇ ◇ ◇

When Kamui returned to the orphanage, Dark, who had returned earlier, and the Alts were waiting.

"How'd it go?

The first person I've asked is Dark.

"After all, are you worried?

"That's right. For all of us, that's what we've been through since we started."

It doesn't translate to fights within your peers or with other groups. From the beginning, with the will to kill, it's a feud of hope.

"You said you had one scratch. Well, I think it's gonna be okay."

"Oh well."

Upon hearing Kamui's report, Dirk exhaled heavily. I was pretty nervous inside, even though I was talking about room.

"More than that, you told your people about me, didn't you?

"... Was it a bad idea?

"No, it's not good, I was seen with some awesome eyes"

"What's a great eye?

"Master Kamui, do you feel sparkly? Well, my eyes are glowing from the beginning, so I just felt that way on my own."

"Pfft, who's that?

Listening to Kamui, Dark will erupt. I think I've completely relieved myself of the tension.

"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask your name. You said you were halfway with vampires. A girl."

"Oh, you're a mite. Yeah, I met Mito."

Dark eyes talking about the girl are laughing meaningfully.

"What do you mean?

"I was most eager to hear about Kamui because it's the mite. That's what I've heard with my beautiful eyes sparkling."

"Awesome. Have you captivated me before I met you? And a vampio girl. How dare you attract a vampire who is good at charm, Kamui..."

When I heard the conversation between the two of them, Alto came into the conversation amused, but I immediately talked out loud and realized it wasn't good content, and stopped talking.

If you're a bishop, you may not mind, but there are other priests in the orphanage.

"I apologize for what I told you without permission. But they need hope, too. One day we'll get what we want. That's the light of hope."

Dirk also stops talking about mitts and apologizes to Kamui. I believe my people won't tell anyone, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it won't leak because of something.

"I don't mind about that. Well, I guess that's the end of the problem."

"Even if the next one comes, we'll talk about it first. The three of us, huh? So if he sends me the next one right away, he won't give a shit about his men's lives."

Alto answers Kamui's questions.

"Sort of. Otherwise, there's no point in doing anything so thoughtful."

"Still, when the next time comes, you better think about what you're going to do. You can't just do the same thing over and over again."

"Indeed."

If the missing seem to continue, no matter how much what happens in the Glades, they will just no longer be left behind. That will drive Dirk and his people into distress.

Such a situation must definitely be avoided.

"What are you talking about, really putting us in conflict with the Glades? You've burned your territory so many times, why don't you just shut up?

"Or let me know who started the fire? Do you want to move? They're the daughters of the Imperial Mage Commander. I'm not the one who can beat the tightness of the Glades."

Marie is behind the attacks on Kamui. Thanks to Dark's friends, I was able to get this information without hesitation.

"Why don't we just get together decently? If it's as tight as a favela, don't you have any handouts?

"The Wizards are opposed opponents. That's all the Knights can think of."

"The Knights and the former tightening of the Glades. Hey, that's who you're up against."

"... No, maybe not."

Think a little and Dirk has denied Alto's words. Dark, familiar with the Glades, had a feeling the Alts didn't know.

"Why not? The Knights have sent out guards many times to sweep the Glades."

"But soon the Glades will be back to normal. As far as I can tell, I've never heard of the capture of a superior."

"... that there is a covenant?

"It's not unlikely, is it? Because of the Glades, the Knights of the Imperial Capital are not in great danger and are regularly given a little credit. After that, it's war or a massive warcraft crusade."

"Oh, you're so dark. Is that the truth, and then the evidence?"

Dark's guess is something that makes Alto think it's possible. The corruption of the imperial bureaucracy is known to the general public. If so, it's not strange for the Knights to have these dark parts.

"If that's the case, don't let this help you a little"

So Kamui took the paper out of his nose and showed it around him.

"What's that?

"Paper that made me write the name of the guy who instructed one of us to kill him. I thought it was a little early, but now you've used charm."

"That's fascinating. You're young, but you look like a pretty good vampire."

"You don't have to use charm to be charmed."

"Really? But that's..."

Kamui has not looked closely at Mito's face. Not only was it dark, but Mito was wearing a costume that hid everything but his eyes. The way Dark put it, Mito is probably beautifully shaped. Being born beautifully in the ghetto, which is also the daughter of a whore, is an element of misfortune.

"If I have to, will Mito let Kamui take it? It's valuable as a force, but until we do, the Glades are a dangerous place for Mito. And with a little help, it's like taking your mother hostage."

"... oh, okay"

"But can you handle that piece of paper?

"This is a starting point for further evidence. Grab proof of your father-in-law for this story. In the meantime, I will look into the weaknesses for the sake of its best friend. To find the most effective time."

"Marie. It's the first time you've had enemies."

The relationship between Deefleet and Hildegand, which was a virtual enemy, is, contrary to what is expected, a good one when it comes to friendliness. As far as Claudia and Oscar are concerned, it is now a matter of seeing how things are. Of those, only Marie has attacked the Kamuis herself.

"Oh, the Maries are enemies, what enemies?

"" "Knock it down!

If this happens, the Kamuis will only act faithfully to the teachings of their masters. It doesn't matter that you're a student.

Never lose. Even if you can't win - this is the vow of the Kamuis.

◇ ◇ ◇

Then a few days later. Marie, who has been certified as an enemy by the Kamuis, is baffled without knowing what's going on.

Those who had Kamui tailed him were lost.

I haven't even grasped where their news disappeared. Just stick it to Kamui, report it once a day. As a result of such awkwardness in information collaboration.

Around here, Marie is still a student. Speaking of which, I have no choice.

"Are you telling me you might still be gone?

"Yes. No one will come back. No contact, nothing..."

The boy student making the report has halfway given up the search.

"... how's Kamui Kreutz doing?

"I normally go to college"

"How's it going?

"None."

"... he must have done something. Let another person watch you. There's got to be some movement."

Let Kamui tail you, and this is the result. Even if it's not Marie, here's what I think.

"But..."

Except when it comes to actually taking action.

"What?

"If Kamui really did something, even if he put on a new watch, even that one..."

That could be me. Boys are completely hip.

"Huh? What are you scared of? Nothing is going to take your life. The only way to help the ones who are caught is to explore the bastard's movements, right?

"There is also a hand in delivering it to the College or the Guard. Imprisonment is a fine crime."

Killed. What I don't think is that it's just a student's game. In fact, both Marie and her men have only a sense of the extent to which they are imitating adults. And with that degree of feeling, you make a magic attack, so it's bad in nature.

"What do you mean, deliver? Whoever was keeping an eye on Kamui is being caught and imprisoned, what can you say?

"But..."

"If you do that, it will be public that you let Kamui attack you. That's not all. Arson is a felony. If it happens, it's not just me, it's even my parents. Do you mind if I tear down your own house?

"No... That was Marie's order."

"Hey, what's up? Are you telling me to sin on my own?

"That's not why..."

I want you to do that for real, but no way, I can't tell you in person.

"Then put on the new one. I'm not asking you to do it."

I thought I could persuade the boys, Marie.

"... no one takes on"

"What?

"I'll be honest. Everyone is afraid. It's not just about Kamui. That's what Marie said. We're still investigating the cause of the fire, aren't we?

"That's just the shape. I don't care what happens to the Glades, I don't care what happens to the guards."

"That's what I'll say."

"I get it! It's just a bunch of guys you can't count on. I'll ask Kamui directly. That's good, right?

"... I'll take care of it"

◇ ◇ ◇

So again, Group E will be bothered.

A female student with a black robe. Even if you don't know your face, we all know who it is. Ignore the uniform, because there is only one student dressed like this and so on in the college.

The four Factions of the College, now the Princess, are also known as the Five Factions, but the head of that Faction appeared in class again. Marie is also rarely seen in the room.

"The color of that hair. You're Kreutz Kamui, right?

"Oh, yeah, but"

You're not - the voice was kept only in the students' chests.

"... Kamui Kreutz, right?

"Oh, yeah, but"

"Are you making fun of me?!

Marie was going to provoke me, but on the contrary, she's cut to Kamui's attitude and she's barking her voice. With this exchange of hands, no one can beat Kamui.

"Where is it?

"They call me Kreutz Kamui, why do you admit that!?

"You know what I'm referring to, right? If you have a student named Kreutz Kamui, except for the story. Or do you really make a difference?

"I didn't! I would have re-mentioned Kamui Kreutz!

"Oh, I was. So who are you?

Now he's provoking Marie from Kamui. Very, I don't think I'm doing that. Look at me like I'm really wondering.

"Ha!? You don't know me!?

Marie's sweetness is what makes her so provocative.

"... have we met somewhere?

"It's my first time!

"Well, you don't know, do you?

"It's Marie! It's Marie, the daughter of the chief Imperial Mage!

There is Marie's childhood where she purposefully assigns her father's position. Now, you can't be fat on Kamui.

"Yes. What can I do for you, Mr. Marie?

"You... Are you sure you don't know me?

Marie gets confused by Kamui, who doesn't show any reaction, even if he's named.

"Excuse me. I'm not sure about the college. Is Mr. Marie a celebrity?

"That's not true..."

Asked if he was a celebrity, and I'm just ashamed to say yes. Marie denied Kamui's question.

"So you don't have to know, do you?

"Oh, yeah"

In the end, Marie ends up simply ashamed of her attitude.

"You've finally settled down. I was a little surprised because the first person I met yelled at me all of a sudden. So again, can you tell me what I need to do?

"I can't talk here"

"... there's no way it's just the two of us, what wouldn't you say?

"If so, what?

"The same thing happened before. I've got some weird rumors going on."

This is with Hildegand. I want to talk to you alone, that's what I said and the two of you who went home with me were friends calling each other by one nickname, one callout. It's weirder not to make noise around.

Kamui's girlfriend spreads the rumor of Serene again, and not just that, Hildegand, with an omelet that Kamui told her not to be sad about the friendly Serene.

Finally, the situation is healing a little.

"I don't make rumors that I'm worried about them"

"That's what I thought last time. Mr. Hildegand is the opponent, and he says it can't be a rumor."

"So?"

"If you need to talk, here you go."

"Is that good? You're gonna be in trouble."

Actually, I'm in trouble myself, but as a rush, Marie said: But unfortunately, with this degree of rush, Kamui can't possibly move.

"You don't have that. This is the first time I've seen Mr. Marie. There's no way Marie knows anything that might bother me."

"... then let's talk"

"Go ahead."

"I hear you're going to the Glades, right?

"Yeah, occasionally.... I'm not playing in a pleasure zone, am I? No way, do you get that wrong?

"So what are you doing?

"I know someone from orphanage. It's enough to be in the Glades. I haven't had a very good life. At least while I was in college, I was wondering if I could help at all."

"You want me to believe that?

"Believe it or not, it's true."

In fact, Kamui's story is true. The content of the help to Dark, whom I know, is just something that people can't tell you a bit about.

"... Have you seen any other students in the Glades?

"You haven't seen the students at the college. Are you familiar with Marie or something?

"No, you're not as close as I know you."

"Really? But it's dangerous, wandering around the Glades."

"You, too, right?

"In my case, I know someone. Still, the back alley can only walk the path you know. He's dead when he finds out. Then it won't even be a joke, will it?

Kamui mouths a noisy dialogue with a cheerful face.

"Dead?

Marie reacts beautifully to that. Kamui is right.

"Marie doesn't know where the Glades are, does she? It's completely different from the faces you show to your acquaintances and guests and the faces you show otherwise. Not to mention the students at Imperial College, they must be prey to outfits, right? Even the spare child is targeted. If you were wearing expensive things, you'd be peeling off your body in no time."

"What about after they stripped you of your body?

Marie thought about the possibility that her men fit the eye. As I think so, I have no doubt that Kamui is talking.

"If you were a woman, would you sell her out as a slave in a whorehouse or something?"

"... What about the man?

"Don't you have anything to do with people you can't sell?

…………

Marie, thinking about the meaning of Kamui's words, could no longer say anything.

"Oh, that's what I heard. I don't even know if it's true."

Suddenly Kamui looks in a hurry and starts talking.

"What, suddenly?

"Because I know you, even though you don't have a legitimate way of life. If you get caught just talking about me, I'm in trouble. So now that's not true, it's just a rumor."

It just sounds like a word to shelter someone I know. It seems like you're denying it and complaining that it's the truth.

"... by the way, have you ever heard rumors about where a useless person can be dumped?

"Come on, is it in someone's belly somewhere?

…………

"It's a joke. Do you still have something?

"... No, I don't. You're interrupting."

Looking back, I'm outside the classroom, Marie.

The three were killed. As Kamui said, was it attacked in the ghetto or did Kamui himself do it? Either way, Marie intuited that this was for sure.

Somehow, in front of Kamui, I endured not to show the upset in my heart, but until it also left the classroom.

As soon as I closed the door, I fluttered and brought it to the wall.

"Chicken."

Words spill out of Marie's mouth, not knowing what she regrets about.

"I won't give up. I'll never give up. Remember, fuck you."

Marie doesn't know where the truth is. When this happens, the only place to turn your anger is Kamui.

Marie renewed her determination without knowing what kind of danger it was.
