Maou No Utsuwa

It was Kamui and Marie hurrying the road to the foot, but at last, really, the limits came to Marie. I kept walking without even getting any sleep from Locke. That's not impossible either.

It's more unusual to keep walking.

As a result, Kamui walked behind Marie's back. Looking sincerely disgusted, Kamui, carrying Marie, is on the road leading to the foot.

"Oh, heavy"

"It can't be heavy, can it? I'm skinny."

"Surely the only thing that hits your back is the feeling of a plate."

"Teresa."

"What, that way of speaking. Thanks to whom do you think you're making it easier?

When they say this, Marie is weak. We can't afford to talk about strength right now.

"... it's you"

"It's not you, call me Master Kamui"

"Can you call it!

The weakness Marie showed is really convenient as a cut-out.

"Well, even your husband can do it, right?

"... you pervert"

"I don't want to be told by a perverted woman who likes exposure"

"Who likes exposure?!

"You go out of your way to get naked in a creek in the mountains, but you call me a guy, you like exposure, don't you?

And Marie had offered Kamui other stories.

"Oh, that's because you say you don't like smelly bodies even though you carry them, right?

"You don't have to call me to wash your body."

'Cause you don't know when you're going to be attacked by a warcraft.

I mean, he was really set up by Kamui.

"Also, I blame people. That's a bad habit, you should fix it."

"Oh, my, my, my, my, my!

"Don't shout in your ear. Shut up."

"Ohhhhh! Ahhhhhh!

"Shut up!

In the wake of Marie's unexpected counterattack, Kamui makes her voice absurd.

"Heh, all right."

Marie seems satisfied with making Kamui yell at her.

"... I mean, you, don't get along too well"

"What's that?

"Me and you are still enemies. It just so happens that I win this one, and I'm just forcing you to obey, right?

"... oh"

"Me too, I'm a little on track, but you too."

"... I know."

Kamui's words sank Marie's heart, which was floating. Marie also has feelings about whether to end up like this. I firmly swear that one day I will avenge Kamui.

But Marie, who is fundamentally a people-hater, doesn't have someone she can talk to like she does now. This exchange is Marie's first experience.

Before I knew it, Marie noticed herself enjoying interacting with Kamui.

"Hey."

"What?"

"Your hair is a rare color, isn't it?

Marie whispers in Kamui's ear as she combs Kamui's hair in front of her with her fingers.

"Don't touch me."

"I didn't touch you. I just happened to hit it."

"Do you happen to hit your finger? Your hair is rare in people, isn't it?

Marie has dark hair. Just like Kamui's silver hair, Marie is the only brunette in the college.

"You don't know? Dark hair like me is an excellent testament to magic."

Marie happily explains her dark hair. Marie is proud to have dark hair.

"I wonder"

If you hear that, Kamui speaks a negative word.

"What is it? Are you complaining?

"... I'm bored, shall I give you a fairy tale?

"Hmm? Why, is this a fairy tale here?

"Bye, good"

"... talk to me"

When I'm told to stop, I'm asexually concerned about what the story is.

"Which one is it?

"Talk."

"You're a pain in the ass."

While complaining, Kamui started talking. Far away, far away, far back than people can imagine.

"Far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far more than the Empire could have done in its former turmoil."

"What old days?

"Listen to me. God created man in this world."

"What, Genesis?

Genesis is a biography that is said to have conveyed the formation of this world. Its authenticity is not obvious, but it is a story that God has spread widely to the world as a fact, and that most people, if they are human, know.

"It's older than that."

"What's that?

"Ask. The humans created in this world went on and on with their high fertility. I didn't just increase the number. Man had a much better wisdom than any other creature."

"I knew it was Genesis."

"So I'm telling you it was a long time ago. … man, with his wisdom, produced various tools, thereby becoming the champion of this world. But humans didn't stay there. Turning tools into more and more amazing objects, and eventually the tools became comparable to the power of God."

…………

Here, for the first time, it's different from what Marie knows about Genesis. There is no such thing as the existence of something lined up in God's power in the biography that God tells us.

"Humans have spread to this world so much that we can say that there is no place in the world where they are not, and with it, other creatures have lost their place and perished. Humans wiped out trees, polluted water and polluted the atmosphere in order to live."

"It's not Genesis"

"That's what you're saying. The human desire that tainted this world did not just end, but began to try to enter yet another world. So God made his decision. We can't let humans get dirty all the way to the rest of the world. Again, trying to start all over again. God's, took man's life with the power of nature, took his place, took the tools they made. By the time such a divine vocation lasted thousands of years, man had greatly reduced its number and lost even the tools he had and the knowledge that produced it"

…………

"Still, God didn't stop. Traces of human-generated tools became dust, and furthermore, until it disappeared. Where it happened, God began to start over."

"How?

"First God thought about strengthening the power of nature more. Don't let nature get polluted again. So as something that produced and nurtured nature, it produced the Spirit and let it go all over the world. And as a further guardian of the Spirit, He created the Elves. By doing so, nature instantly regained its lost power and grew up far more beautiful than before. With the grace of nature, a variety of new species were born, increasing their number. But we got a problem here."

"Like what?"

Marie is totally drawn to Kamui's fairy tale.

"More than the former, humans who can't beat other organisms except for their breeding power and wisdom were deprived of their place by other organisms, as they once did in retribution. There is no will on God to destroy man. Or, you can't give a human a tool like you once did. So God..."

"What about God?

"I created a demon tribe in this world to give man magic"

"What!?

A surprise can be heard from Marie's mouth. Demons are beings hostile to God. This is what people know about common sense.

"Even God cannot change the nature of the race that was created once. The way to impart magic to humans is the mating of blood with a species with strong magic. Repeated mixing of blood between humans and demons has created a people of magic"

…………

"Pureblooded humans without magic were eventually eliminated and only human beings remained amid natural threats. And there are elves, demons in this world. People were left as people."

"Wait a minute, where's Dwarf?

You will not see the Dwarves in this day and age. Still, the presence of the Dwarves is in the records of the people.

"Humans and demons weren't the only ones who mated. Mating with the Elves was also carried out as something that lived in the same world. But because God did not originally plan to do so, there was also a mixed race between the Elves and humans whose magical properties were changing. Thanks to its strong inheritance of human-specific and exclusive properties, the mix gathered in one place, repeated mating in it alone, and further inherited the human reproduction power, considerably, increasing the number of species among a limited number. He spent a long time in a special environment, a volcanic zone that happened to gather, repeating a limited crossing of blood, forming his own species. That's the Dwarves."

…………

Kamui also had answers to questions about the Dwarves. Kamui's explanation is somehow convincing.

I said fairy tales and started talking. This swells in Marie's mind the question of what the hell it is.

"The three races lived peacefully in the beginning. But having magic did not lose the nature it had as a human race. Eventually the people thought. We say that we are, as it were, a subordinate race of the Elves and Demons forever. So, what do we do? Not with individual force. Fortunately, however, the pure blood of the Demons and Elves is small and the number of people is high. Together, people will be champions of this world."

It's the same thing over and over again.

"Yes. And out of the people, a hero was born to the people. He who unites people and destroys other races."

"It's..., who?

"Come on, I don't know that. I guess I'm not alone. Over the years, with all sorts of backgrounds, but as desired, the people became the champions of this world. Then I want to hide the root of my magic. It is unacceptable that we are mixed species and that magical power is given to us by other races. And the people twisted and bent the will of God. Magic is the favor God has given to the people. Surely that is not a mistake. But it erased the fact that it was the Demons who went through it. And that made the people even more proud. He said that only the people are loved by God."

"... it's the teachings of theism"

Doctrine of the Church of God. Deeply shallow in faith, regardless, people know what the doctrine is about. Because I've been asked so many times since I was a child.

"That's it for the fairy tale. Well, that was kind of funny, wasn't it?

"What's that? Why did we talk about this?"

"... there is a little more to the story. He'll talk later."

"Talk."

"People have taken pride in being human and have become disgusted with mixed blood with other races. It's already mixed. As a result, the blood of the demon tribe faded. In the sense of blood, I guess humans are stronger. However, rarely can a child be born in which the blood of the devil clan is thick. The color and appearance of the eyes themselves, such babies are abhorred as seeded by the Demons, many of whom are just born and killed. You know the story about the succubus kid, right? A succubus sneaks in at night and lodges his child before he knows it. This is the story."

"Oh, I know"

"That's what happens if the appearance is extremely different from that of a human race. But just for the color of your hair, what if it shows up?

"... what are you trying to say?

Marie already knows the answer. I just don't want to admit it myself.

"Thank you as a man of great magic."

…………

Kamui's answer is, as Marie expected. I knew the answer, but Marie couldn't say anything.

"This is the end of the story. You've had a good time."

"Don't be ridiculous. What's the fairy tale?

"So you say it's the truth? You can't stay in this country if you tell people this."

The story of Kamui is the denial of the doctrine of the Church of God. of the creation of the human race, a denial of the parts involved in the root. Neither the Church of God, nor the country, nor the general public, can accept it. Ninety-nine centimeters, heresy, you will be persecuted.

"... I guess. By the way, who did you hear this fairy tale from?

"Elves I Know"

"... what about that elf?

"You said your grandmother told you when you were little."

"What about that grandmother?

"You know that much."

"... I see. Okay, I get it."

Elves have a long life. Some elves live as long as four hundred years when they become long-lived. Even short-lived is definitely over two hundred years old.

I mean, a long time ago, for an elf, it would be a grandfather's grandmother's day. The fairy tale that the elves have conveyed. Is that a fairy tale?

◇ ◇ ◇

A wide open open lot stretches through the mountain path that leads from the camp to the foot. It's where I camped even on the way there.

There is also a group of more than a hundred people. Naturally those who had arrived first were those who had preceded them.

But not long after the advance group had finished preparing for the camp, the alts and the succeeding students appeared in the camp.

The overlapping of the forcible forces had filled the difference considerably.

Alts The arrival of the succeeding students was welcomed with surprise. For teachers and the Knights, the students who were not supposed to show up showed up. And for the students, with the fact that the subsequent students were the ones to let themselves escape.

Of course, there are those who have noticed it in thin air. The representatives are Oscar and Deefleet. Oscar, as a knight, from the thought of what to do to minimize sacrifice, and from the attitude of Kamui as if Deefleet were determined to fight.

We thought that Kamui's decision to fight, who should want to hide his strength, meant that all that would come down to the rest of us.

And Hildegand and Claudia are the representatives of a group that didn't realize it at all.

Hildegand, whose personality is serious, has no thoughts of others surviving at the expense of others. Claudia is similar, but in Claudia's case, in the first place, I'm not thinking that deeply. I just accepted the Knights as they were.

Naturally, it was Hildegand and Claudia who rebelled. Teachers, and also stuffed the Knights, temporarily, the camp was noisy.

It was Deefleet who managed to fit that in, but still, Hildegand's anger, in particular, doesn't heal.

"Deefreet, you noticed and you didn't say anything, did you?

"No, even if they say so, think Hildegand knows."

"There's no way you know!? If I knew, I wouldn't leave that place for good!

"That's what I said, but what did you do to stay?

"We fought together!

"... but the results aren't going to change, are they? Sorry to hear about the Knights, but the students were safe."

"Kamui is not back!

In the end, Hildegand's anger runs out here. I can't forgive you for leaving Kamui behind and trying to survive.

"Alt-kun and Lutz-kun say Kamui is safe."

"Then why isn't he alone, coming back?!

"Kamui is not alone. There are other students who haven't come back."

This is about Marie and the others. Marie's whereabouts are unknown to those in the camp at this point. If I knew, it would be Alto and Lutz, but neither of them knew how it would end, even if they predicted that they would be in contact with Kamui.

Marie decided in advance to use it, but if it doesn't work, Marie should be dead too. Demonic hands or by Kamui's own.

"Again, I'm going to talk to them"

"It's no use. They don't talk about anything anymore."

"Why?"

"You know what I mean, right? To them, we are the ones who fled at their expense. There's no way they're gonna talk to us like that."

"But I just want to hear about Kamui..."

"He won't talk about it, either."

Immediately after Alto's arrival, Hildegand and Diefleet heard where Kamui was.

Alto and Lutz come later. No matter how many times I ask, I just repeat this. Then I asked the students who knew their faces in an attempt to speak to the other students.

But the first person to open his mouth was one of the students in group E. We couldn't afford to care less about Kamui because of ourselves. The student said:

As soon as he said this, the other students, who were about to say something, held their mouths simultaneously, and after that, whatever they heard, fell aside, which they did not know.

And the stop was not Claudia, who came to listen with me, but Theresa, who came with it.

"I mean, have you guys been throwing out Kamui and running away?

Theresa doesn't deserve to say this kind of dialogue. Because Theresa is one of the students who threw them out and ran away.

In contrast, it was also the students in group E who had thrown painful words.

"Indeed, we have left Kamui and fled. But we're going to fight ourselves, we're going to fight ourselves, we're going to survive. How'd it go with you? Have you fought this far?

The figure of the student who said this was scratched all over his body, as opposed to the armor he wore. The sword in his hand was also sore with the blade tip, and it was obvious what kind of battle he had fought.

By comparison, not only Theresa, but all the students who were arriving first are beautiful. They have left it all to the Knights to fight the warcraft they encounter on the road, so naturally so too.

Theresa, who can't say anything and shuts up. Turning to her, the rest of the students' gaze was also cold. And that gaze was also directed at Claudia, as well as Hildegand and Deefleet.

In the end, everyone couldn't stand the sight and left the spot.

Afterwards, I tried to bump the indescribable, inexorable feelings, toward teachers and the Knights, but that ended in vain too.

As a matter of fact, we are here, protected by the Knights.

The irresistible anger, forgiven by Deefleet, left the Knights, to this day.

"Anyway, Kamui is safe."

"How can you say all that?

"Somehow."

"With such baseless things!

"Anyway, I can't help it if it's noisy. How about a little apprenticeship?

Unexpectedly for Deefleet, Serene, like Hildegand, was not disturbed. That's why you can't be worried.

"... What about Mr. Serene?

"Alt-kun and Lutz-kun's place. Otto's with you."

"I'll be there, too. They could tell us something."

Leaving behind, Hildegand walked early enough to see the alts.

"You've already heard it scattered."

Hildegand's intransigence made Deefleet just shudder.

"Um?"

"... what is it? Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia."

He was a Deefleet who had completely forgotten Claudia's existence.

"Mr. Deefreet isn't too worried about Mr. Kamui, is he?

"Well, it's Kamui"

"But isn't it impossible for Mr. Kamui to escape through the mountains alone?

"Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia. Your Highness, it would be better to provide for a few more eyes to see people. Obviously, you're wrong about Kamui."

"But Mr. Kamui..."

I can't use magic. Those who can't use magic can't be strong. It's not Claudia's bias, it's public knowledge.

"When he left the camp, Kamui told Sere that you were right in the middle of nowhere."

"That's not Mr. Serene."

"Those words are directed at me and Hildegand, not just Sele. Yes, I felt it. You guys. Then we can't fight together. That's why Kamui said to run away."

"Really?"

"Even I felt the same way about Hildegand. I don't want to leave Kamui. But he wouldn't let me talk about it. I don't think it's just about us."

Kamui is caring about himself. As much as I can think of this, Deefleet is not confident.

"Is he that strong?

"Perhaps. I regret that, but I believe in Kamui."

"Really..."

"I see people! One! No, it's two!

The voice of the Knights on watch echoed the camp.

To that voice, Deefleet and Claudia face each other unexpectedly. Nodding lightly, they ran towards the outskirts of the camp.

◇ ◇ ◇

Just as Kamui also leaked a sigh of relief by checking the camp, which he saw in the front.

"Finally arrived"

"Oh, I see."

"Sounds like it, doesn't it? Come on, get off."

"... Kechi"

In the end, Marie came down to the foot, staying on Kamui's back the whole time.

"So don't get used to each other. You can keep your hands off me, okay?

"I get it. You'd better learn a little bit more about the treatment of women."

"Who's the woman? Just get off."

"Yes, yes"

Marie, down from Kamui's back, stretches wide and relaxes her body.

"Oh, I'm tired"

"You can't be tired. You've been carrying me all my life."

"I'm tired of babbling, too."

One of the reasons for this was because Kamui was too short to pull his legs together, which Marie didn't even say.

I don't use it in my mouth, but I rub my feet and rub them and smell them.

And Kamui is sensitive to these things.

"Do it yourself."

"Wait a minute!

Marie hastily pursued Kamui's back as he moved on at the top of the Buddha. Eventually, the two will reach a point where the shadows lined up in front of the camp are clearly visible.

"Oh, they're picking something up."

"Of course."

"I'll talk to you while I can."

"What?

"Isn't it weird that Auga attacked you and you escaped safely?

"... but you actually got away with it"

"I think you're the one who's having a lot of trouble prying..."

"Okay, let's talk about it."

What Kamui is trying to hide is his ability. On the other hand, what Marie wants to hide is criminal activity. Marie has worse minutes overwhelmingly.

"I was caught up with an orga just escaping to the bridge. You guys were running away the same way. Rendezvous there. Orga attacked me and the other students got hit, but me and you saw a gap and ran off across the bridge. That's good, right?

"Well, that's true."

"It's not true, is it? Most importantly, I'm hiding that you tried to kill me."

"You tried to kill me."

"Did you do that?

"It's like you did, isn't it?

Orga offered it to me, and I can't possibly live. We are each other on this matter.

"Fair enough. Later, I dropped the bridge with your magic and managed to escape. Is this what it is?

"That's all?"

"A simple story is better. There are no strange contradictions."

"Oh, I get it."

"That's right. Think about why you weren't in the camp."

"... with a little credit, I was exploring the area. When I tried to get back to the camp, I saw the students fleeing and rushed after them. It's not like this."

"Well, it would be good. All right, let's go."

The camp is already in front of us. It's long enough to see each and every face.

Couldn't wait, the first thing that popped up was Serene. Behind it also continues Alto and Lutz.

Several students have continued since then. The face I saw. The students we fought with.

Serene, who came shortly before and stopped his leg. That face is going to cry now. So, in Kamui's head, the words of Alto and Lutz came to mind. A gentle hug would surely hasten Serene. Remember that, Kamui leaving one step ago.

I just opened my hands and hugged the woman who jumped in from the front, just like that.

"Kamui. I'm so glad you're safe!

"... What!? Hilda!?"

It was Hildegand who jumped in. At the end of Kamui's gaze holding Hildegand, instead of weeping, I saw Serene's face staring at this one with a tremendous face.

"Eh!?

Shortly after Kamui stopped, Serene went back to the camp, looking at Hildegand and Kamui's embrace, scratching the staring students.

"Oh, you've done it"

"Well, this is interesting."

Alto and Lutz came forward laughing at Niyaniya.

"What do you mean?

"I don't know." "Saana."

"I don't care, guys, how long have you been snuggling around"

Marie complains of her frustration when she was completely ignored being next door.

"Mr. Marie!? You were safe, too!

Hildegand, who raised his face from Kamui's chest, noticed Marie and gave her a surprise. In the meantime, Kamui took a subtle distance from Hildegand.

"Earlier, I'm here."

"Uh, maybe with Kamui?

"I don't care what you think. Right?

"Yes...... But good for you. Be back safe."

"... sort of"

"Are you hurt?

"... are you really Hildegand?

Marie was puzzled by the atmosphere so different from Hildegand she knew. Calmer, more fortitude, worse still, a soft-faced woman. Because this is what Marie knew about Hildegand.

"I don't like it. Mr. Marie, are you all right? Did you hit him in the head?

"I didn't."

"Why don't you just take a break? There's a tent in the back."

"... let me do that. Something's going wrong. Bye, remember."

"You're the one who remembers, right? I owe you a lot, so make sure you give it back."

"Shit, I know."

With a bitter face, Marie came out of her mouth with words of acknowledgement.

"You could have made a loan?

As soon as Marie left the scene, Alto asked Kamui for the end.

"Sort of. So-so."

"Right. That's good. Let's talk about it later. They're waiting in the back."

Alto says of the students left behind in the camp with the Kamuis.

"Are you all right?

"Oh, there's nothing missing. Go and get him."

"Oh."

Before the students waiting in the back, as soon as Kamui arrived, the students moved in unison and began to align.

"Hmm?"

"Report!

"Report?"

"Good, go out with him."

Alto calls out to the bewildered Kamui.

"... ok. Sorry, keep going."

"Ha! There are no vacancies for all ten Swordsmen A squad members!

"Likewise. Ten swordsmen, Squad B, no vacancies!

"Magic Squad A! Eleven total, no vacancies"

"B-B squad as well! Ten total, no vacancies!

"We have all six medical teams!

"That's it! As promised, we succeeded in getting out, without missing a single one!

The faces directed at Kamui are all proud. The look on their faces made Kamui happy, too. Turn off the lights and return to your face as the one who leads them.

"I'm glad we're all safe. To be honest, I didn't expect everyone to get away with it."

"Hey!?

"I don't have much experience in action, because I'm an amateur group."

"Well," "it is."

Many killed creatures in action for the first time, for the first time, even though they were demons. When I think about it again, I feel it's close to a miracle that we all managed to escape safely.

"But here we are. There's no one missing."

"Oh," "Oh."

"Who's to blame for staying here?

"You're a cum." "Right."

Without the Kamuis, we couldn't have escaped. This is a common sentiment of all.

But Kamui's words that follow deny this.

"No! You are here now because of yourselves!

…………

"You fought in desperate circumstances, never giving up! Right!?

"Oh!"

"I confronted a crowd of hundreds of demons, directly from the front!

"" Oh!!

"You fought with faith in your power! And I won!

"" "Whoa!

"Confident! You guys are strong! I'm proud to have fought with you!

"" "Whoa!!

And the students are proud to have been praised by Kamui.

"So! Again, don't forget about the Knights. Lutz!"

"General! Careful!

"To the elites of the Knights who gave up their lives to help us! Salute!!

"" "" Ha!!

Kamui saluting in the direction where there would be accommodation at the same time. The other students, who had tried to be distracted by it, began to take a salute attitude towards the mountain in the same way, from those who knew the circumstances.

Eventually, it spread to the Knights, and everyone on this occasion united their thoughts on the dead knights.

The Imperial College exercise accommodation, which became a long-spoken tragedy, marked the end here.
