Maou No Utsuwa

After lunch, without taking the time to relax, the line left. There's still a distance to the destination. No matter how many streets near the Imperial Capital, in the darkness of the night, it's not necessarily that any unforeseen things don't happen. While it's bright, it's a decision that you should stay at your destination.

All aboard, in the carriage that ran out immediately. The Deefleets had yet to escape the shock at lunch.

"Wow. This is what it feels like to be a woman."

Alto, who has been dating for a long time, seemed to be Kamui's first look as well.

"You get it, don't you? The horror of a man named Kamui Kreutz."

"How did Sele know? Could Sele have had the same experience?

Serene knows what Kamui looks like he doesn't even know Alto. This is what makes Deefleet concerned.

"Chi, no. I heard from other female students."

"Other female students?

"It was tough. When rumors broke out that me and Kamui were dating"

"Uh, how?

Not only Deefleet, but the rumored alts are the first to hear of it. He looks intrigued, listens to Serene.

"I'm here to ask. I was wondering if it was true that you were dating Kamui."

"... woman, you're scared"

Listen to Serene, Smudge and Lutz whine

"Lutz, don't get me wrong because I'm not threatened or anything. It feels like exploring somehow. They don't say what they really mean."

"Isn't that scary?

"Sort of. Something that conveys seriousness. Of women who don't show up for same-sex, what do you say..."

"So, what happened with the female student?

Deefleet pulls back where Rutz is going to derail the story.

"It wasn't just the two of us who asked. Anyway, it was hard to deny it."

"What is it? Was that what you were doing next to what we were spreading so hard?

"You bet! If I'd admitted to that, I could have been really abusive!?

Serene feels pretty clean about Lutz for complaining. This attitude of Serene made the Deefleets feel the seriousness of their opponents.

"That's it..."

"Well, actually, I don't know. Anyway, I'm pretty sure Kamui is grasping the hearts and minds of many female students."

"Could Hildegand have seen that too?

"You don't have that. Mr. Hildegand, right? You can't go ask, can you? I was the one being asked the same way."

"What?"

"You ask me even after it's rumored with Mr. Hildegand. I was wondering if that rumor was true."

Being close to anyone is Serene's charm, but it doesn't always seem good for him.

"No way?"

"No, I'm denying it properly. That's not possible. But even so, this time, she talks to me about whether anyone likes me or the woman of my choice. Thanks to you, I know what's going on."

"What's the situation?

Finally, the story is getting to the point.

"Is Dee interested in something like this?

"Well, because we're talking about Kamui. That's what I'm saying, but it's surprising, isn't it?

"The unexpected part is that Kamui is hot."

"Heh."

"It's normal, for example, for Dee to hang women-friendly words or complain, right?

"... something, complicated. Am I?

The way Serene put it, he was a deefried who sounded like he was a woman.

"That's right. But Kamui has bad eyes, bad attitude, and his first impression sucks anyway."

"Well, I guess so"

"But when we get a little close, and we talk, our impressions change as soon as we get along"

"Really? All I get is the impression you're pissing off girls all the time."

Also, Lutz has been interrupting the conversation. What do you care, this is what I like to talk about?

"That's the difference. Sure, Kamui just makes fun of the other guy even when he has a conversation. But if you're listening around, that's so funny, isn't it?

"But who's making fun of you?

"I'm not really mad at you. Either way, it feels like Kamui, a bad person, would be happy to set himself up."

"Woman doesn't understand."

"Because women's minds are complicated. It's impossible for Lutz to understand. And even if you're really angry, at the end of the day, you're mostly getting hit by Kamui's skill."

"What are you good at?

"Smile. An unfathomable Kamui laughs happily at the end when a girl gets murky. You're glad they fit in. The innocent smile of the prankster himself. You forgive me for being angry as soon as I was shown that. Do you feel like you can't do it anymore?

"... Don't be afraid, Kamui"

Knowing Kamui's unexpected talent, Lutz is also surprised.

"Isn't it? That's why I think Kamui would be the best place to vote in college."

"That's not true. Most popular, after all, is Mr. Deefleet."

Alto is negative for Serene's opinion that Kamui is the most popular female student.

"Me? No, I don't."

"Oh, how can a hot guy be so blunt? Good manners, beautiful man. Excellent sword and academic achievement. Good character, too. Now there's no reason to be hot."

"No, I can't agree with you when you say that much."

"Is that right? Well, if they say anything, they'll figure out how to hang out. But this is a fact, there are definitely results from the interview."

"... was that what you were doing?

I have no idea what purpose Deefleet did that for. That's right. There's no purpose.

"A little spare time. The first is Mr. Deefleet, and the second is Mr. Oscar. It's an iron plate."

"Alto doesn't know the heart of a woman."

To Alto, who says himself full, this time, Serene speaks differently.

"What do you mean?

"There's no way they're gonna ask me face to face and say I mean it, is there? If you ask me directly, I'll say Dee. Because it's easy."

"... hey, Sele. That just doesn't hurt."

Praised or dropped, what do you care, Deefleet is tough.

"Oh, I'm sorry. No difficulty means that the person you hear will convince you with it. So if you answer what Kamui is, you think you really like it. Not longing, love. It's not something you can tell others, is it?

"I see. Is that the way you think? I studied."

"What do you study?

"No, I feel like I'm totally losing something to Kamui"

"Out of the picture, you hate to lose, don't you?

"Sort of. I don't think I can make an effort without that feeling."

"That's what you think, too."

"I get the story, but that's still surprising. Basically, that's all Kamui talks about with so many female students, right?

I know Kamui is popular with female students, but the reason for this is still unclear.

"That's strange for me, too. But Kamui is really nice to female students. I don't do that for the best, but it doesn't seem like it's a good idea to leave a female student in need alone."

"Did you even hear that?

"That's how it all started, so I found out naturally. If my hands were blocked in my luggage and I couldn't open the door, you could have opened it without saying anything, or if I was having trouble with a full load of heavy luggage, you could have held it without saying anything and carried it with me."

"I didn't say anything."

"Looks like it. Help me now, I'm leaving now. It's like that."

"That looks good. Increasingly surprising."

"Oh, I know that."

"Really?

Everyone's gaze gathers in Lutz. Most of all, he looks surprised to hear that Lutz, who should be far away in the matter of saying this, has the answer.

"It has been since I was an orphanage. And I know why you do it."

"Lie? Tell me"

"Mother's teachings. They've been telling me to be nice to women since I was little. And that's normal, so don't thank me."

In this, it's Lutz who knows Kamui well from his orphanage years. That's why it was a fact I knew.

"Um, Mazacon bastard"

"Muscled."

"So. The two-sided nature of Kamui. He builds a wall in his heart. In rare cases, he does not try to put people in it. But I follow my mother's teachings and treat female students gently."

I'm not saying it's double-sided.

In Serene's explanation, Alto has also disputed.

"Why?"

"What Kamui is doing to female students is just an act, not an act of forgiveness. It doesn't change the essence."

"Right. When you do, you're a real pain in the ass. Students who like Kamui will not be rewarded."

Kamui's kindness is only faithful to his mother's teachings. I have no feelings for Kamui's own opponent there. Many female students are mistaken.

"... have we done too much?

Alto's expression is turning into something serious.

"What?

"Mr. Hildegand. You'll never get paid. Maybe I shouldn't have stayed away."

"... right"

"But that's from the beginning. It doesn't matter how Kamui feels, Hildegand knows that."

The future of Hildegand is determined. Free love is not allowed.

"That's Mr. Deefreet, too, isn't it?

"Because I'm still a man."

"Did you put Serene in the side room?

"Eh, no. That's not what I meant. I'm still free compared to Hildegand. In the first place, there's no need for me to be the companion of Princess Sophilia."

"No, that's our problem"

"What?"

"It's nothing. What about freedom?

"That's hard to say in front of a woman."

"It's alright, because it's Serene"

"What do you mean!?

Even if Kamui is not here, Alto is, firmly, acting in his place.

"No, in front of Sele, it's harder to say"

"Ha, ha. Okay, it's a matter of chastity."

"Hey!?

"Mr. Deefreet doesn't need to protect his chastity because he's a man. But Hildegand, a woman, said she wasn't."

Ahead of Serene, Alto is fine with saying these things. Deefleet, who did it, looks bitter in the mood of his lower heart being exposed.

"I can't comment. If you dare, instead of chastity, you can't even talk. Well, this is one of chastity for women"

Deefleet to change the story just now.

"... what if I did that?

"Well, when it comes to finding out, I don't think you'll ever find out. If you find out, you won't get married. Because in the case of the royal family, the first talk is in the ceremonial setting of marriage."

"Are you okay?

"Are you that worried?

"But, Mr. Hildegand, just now, even more..., right? If you can't get tied, at least the first one, don't you think?

…………

When it was possible enough, everyone in this room thought about it.

"Oh, but Kamui won't accept it."

"But in Kamui's case, seriously, that would be suspicious if you were forced to throw everything out, wouldn't it? Show some weird kindness. That's the kind of guy."

"" "Absolutely blocked!

Hildegand, as always, is perfect for Kamui, not knowing that such conversations are taking place among the Deefleets. Most of all, I'm just talking to Kamui because I have a problem with really sticking around as a lady's hobby.

"What kind of place is Nort Ende?

"Didn't we talk about that before?

"I didn't listen to you properly the other day."

"Were you? There's nothing there. It could be a city... oh, you've been talking about this"

The city has been largely burned down by the invasion of the Empire. Hildegand, who knew he was part of the invasion, became awkward.

"Yeah. So I didn't hear much."

"Other than that...... Nature is rich, isn't it? It seems natural that no one should be around."

"That's a problematic way to put it, but I guess it is, isn't it?

"Yes, we do very little logging, so trees can grow all they want"

"But to rebuild the city..., you'll be talking about this again"

Hildegand thought it would take a lot of lumber to rebuild the rough cities and villages.

"Well, I have no choice. You said there were a few people to rebuild the city, didn't you? You don't have to build many buildings."

"Really? Isn't that dangerous? It's not about the people."

"Warcraft or something, right? It's dangerous. Think of it as something separate from the warcraft you meet around the Imperial City."

"Are you strong?

"You're strong."

"What are the people of the inhabitants doing? It's not like there's nobody out there, is there?

"Because the inhabitants out there can be pretty strong, too. Well, part of it."

"... is that what you mean?"

If Hildegand had the strength not to fear the Warcraft, all he could think about was the Demons.

"Well, speaking of well done, well done. In the inhabitants of the Imperial Capital, you won't be able to live very well."

"You know, the Demons, the..."

"You don't have to follow them."

"I'm sorry, but I'll get used to it one of these days"

"Get used to it. Well, I don't feel bad about you being attentive."

"Yes. What kind of life do those people have?

The Demons also have a life. As a matter of course, its contents have not been conveyed to the public. What is the only intention? The Demons are the same people, of those who do not want people to have such consciousness.

"I don't think it changes that much. When it comes to differences with the Imperial Capital, is there a lot of hunters?"

"Really?

"That's more like it when it's rural than when Nort Ende is special, isn't it? For a small amount of cultivated land, it feels like hunting to secure food, making a living with fur, etc."

"That's normal."

"Yeah, I live normal. Originally, they're normal people."

"Yes..."

It was the Imperial Army, and the Oriental House Army, that destroyed that normal life.

"Oh, excuse me. That was a little disgusting."

"No, I don't care"

"Well, I was confused at first, too."

Avoiding topics that would lead to war, Kamui began another story.

"Right? When we first met, how was it?

"I feel very welcome."

"Yes?"

The image and enthusiastic welcome of the demonic tribe held by Hildegand were not linked.

"I don't know, I was so happy. Seems like you were worried that your parents didn't have children. He was delighted to have succeeded him."

"Your parents are admired, aren't they?

"Yeah. I think it's those parents that are doing well. I really don't think this is snoring."

"So much for what?

"I guess the most unbiased thing. Can I say that's everything?

"Prejudice......, I can't say enough that I don't have it"

Ever since I was young, it's been planted. It doesn't disappear easily.

"Yes, as much as I can in my mouth, Hilda is better"

"Is it? Was Kamui unbiased from the start?

"What do you think? I think I had it when I was young."

Kamui was also born a nobleman. The wrong knowledge of the devil tribe was taught.

"How do you do that?

"Is it because you saw people's ugliness? It sucks that it's someone with blood connections, doesn't it? People are so sweet, they're fae, they're cold, they don't think they're scared."

"Really..."

Malice of the people who took away prejudice against the devil tribe. Hildegand's chest aches when he wonders how much malice Kamui has taken.

"But it feels weird. That's what I thought, thanks to a bad feeling. Thanks to that, I decided to adopt my parents now, and even if I went to the territory, I would be able to live normally."

"That's what you think, too."

"Yes, because of the reason I resented the world, I'm here now."

"Were you resentful?

"Yeah, it's hard not to recognize your worth."

"... now?

"The value of existence is for everyone. Everyone thinks we can make it work if we don't go the wrong way."

"You found that way, didn't you?

"I believe so"

"I envy you."

It's in Hilda, too.

"I..."

"Not as Hildegand Ethenberg, but as Hilda"

…………

Kamui staring straight into his own eyes was dazzled by Hildegand for some reason.

"Excuse me. I put it mildly. Hilda has something to bear in Hilda. That's not what others can say."

Misunderstood Hildegand's silence, Kamui panicked and uttered an apology.

"No, I don't mind"

"Shall we change the story?

"Right."

"Now I'll listen. What is the Oriental Uncle Territory like?

"It's bad for Kamui, but it's rich land. The countryside stretches beyond the walls that surround the city."

"That's amazing."

It can't be Nort Ende. Outside the walls is already a dangerous zone where warcraft walk wide. I can't afford to take it easy and plow.

"Originally, it's one of the best barn zones on the continent. And most of all, I hear there was a constant war."

"Rich land, everybody wants to get it, right? But it was a long time ago, wasn't it?

"Yes. It's a peaceful land now. If you go further east, it doesn't seem the same."

"... it's not a kingdom, is it?

"Yes, it is on the border that there will be a conflict. Most of the time, it's the kingdom."

"Because this is the only place in the empire where the war will remain."

In today's empire, only the East and the West are bordered by other nations. In the west of these days, there is not enough power to go to the Empire. With the exception of the east, there is no war with another country, even if there are insurgencies. Its east is not a war from the front either, but that complicates the conundrum.

"Yes. It is the stronghold of the empire and kingdom. Borderlands are constantly betrayed by empires and kingdoms."

"Is Uncle Oriental also sending out troops?

"That's hardly there. If that happens, it's war."

"Is it a dispute between the border territories..."

Kamui's expression shades at once.

"Are you dissatisfied?

"Because I know a little bit about the spiciness of the border. You must be suffering from slab bits."

"How can that be?

"Before you question that, shouldn't you think about how long the border territories and empires will call it?

"... right. Empire, not frontier territory. That's not the way you see it."

This is also one of the prejudices. Hildegand realized it was something Kamui hated.

"Why?

"I don't know. Does Kamui know anything?

"One thing I can think of is discrimination."

"Discrimination?"

"Nor is the centre rich in all territories. On the contrary, can it be called abundance, other than the Square Belgian realm, only enough to count? There are border areas to alleviate that grievance."

The disparities between the nobles are intense. There are only a few who are noble and live no different lives than civilians.

"How can you alleviate grievances?

"Better than the border. This is what I think. And we're proud to be human beings in the center of the Empire."

"Is that so?

"People are such things. While I envy the top, I feel relieved that there is a lower than me. I wish I hadn't thought about that, but I could go up there. If you're going to use your head to figure out how to get better, this is how it works."

Not all of them are looking up. One way or another, there will be more of you looking down there. Because it's easier.

"Does Kamui always think about that?

'Cause you don't have to come out to think about it.'

"Are you a former hand?

"Think of the only thing you can do the same as someone you don't have."

"... that's really funny about Kamui"

Hildegand does not have the same idea as Kamui. Hildegand on the side will think about how well to use the power he has.

"Is it funny?

"Yes. There was no one around me like that. I'm new to Kamui."

"That's because it's just people around us."

"It's..."

"Excuse me. It was another slightly disgusting way of saying it. It's hard. Me and Hilda are too different environments. Are the values off somewhere?

"... do you think so?

Now it's Hildegand's turn to cloud his expression. Unlike myself, this was the hardest word for Hildegand today.

"Sometimes I think so, sometimes I don't. This is the honest part."

"What makes you think so?

"Shall I be honest?

"Yes."

"When I first met her, I thought she was a nasty woman."

"What!?

"I feel arrogant and a grand nobleman's lady. I never thought I'd get along with this guy."

"... right. Kamui also felt quite cold."

My first impression was that we sucked at each other.

"It's Hilda's fault"

"Is that me?

"You just said that, didn't you? I felt like a nobleman, pushing my own thoughts."

"Perhaps so. I'm sorry."

"Well, now, I know a little bit about how that happened."

"Why do you think?

"You have something on your back, don't you? I have to be like this. That's how I felt, different from who I was, making me play myself"

"... Yes. Exactly."

How can this man know how he feels, Hildegand wonders. Hildegand has to admit that the values will be different.

"I don't know what that is, it disappeared sometime. How so?

"It's Kamui."

Me?

"I can be honest with you."

"... Could you be dictating me?

"Oh, what if it is?

Hiding the highs of his chest, Hildegand joked and showed it in response.

"Also, just kidding. It's nothing to say to me."

And unfortunately for Hildegand, Kamui doesn't understand this kind of timing.

"Really? There's going to be a lot of things out there. And at least Kamui won't bore me."

"That's a difference in values, but maybe that's what you're letting it be."

When they put it this way, Hildegand also feels a little lighter.

"Not all bad, is it?

"That would be so. If we all think the same way, this world will be a boring place."

"Right."

Moreover, the words of Kamui that followed delighted Hildegand.

"But there's only one thing we all want to think the same way."

"What's that?

"People don't change in value because of their birth, their circumstances, and their race."

"... I agree"

This is the first time I've thought about this. But Hildegand sincerely wanted it to be.

"Is that it? Fine, it's a dangerous idea right now. This one surprises me when it's so easily affirmed."

Born and unchanged in value. Then it leads to what the royal family is. There is no such thing as dangerous thoughts.

"I know. I'll never admit it anywhere else. Kamui, please don't talk about this elsewhere, okay?

"That's how much I know."

"But in front of me in the Oriental House, I said it"

"Because I'm going to be talking to Hilda, not with Master Hildegand Ethenberg. Otherwise, I won't be here."

"Hehe, right....... thanks"

Not only the words, but seriously, Kamui is dealing with Hildegand as one person. Disturbing statements are like proof of this.

"Did you say something to thank me for?

"Yes, because that's how you're the only person I care about."

"I knew you were dictating?

"What if it is?

"Repeat again."

"Isn't that good? We still have time to get there. Let's keep going like this."

"If that makes Hilda happy,"

"... already"

Obviously, it's a dialogue that's dictating people, but that's where the unconscious comes out is Kamui's horror.

"... Kamui Kreutz, don't be afraid"

"Otto, did I say something?

"Nothing..."

It was Otto who remembered the horrors of Kamui Kreutz more than anyone else on this day.
