Maou No Utsuwa

His Majesty the Emperor collapsed - the newspaper had a huge impact on the Empire.

Most of the practice is already carried out by the Crown Prince, with little apparent confusion. But out of sight, disturbing movements were enlivening.

As much as we expected, the Northern and Southern uncles announced their retirement. The disappearance of both uncles from the surface stage, which together with His Majesty the Emperor was an imperial highlight, is applauding the move.

Most importantly, that's a big problem a little further. Now, in the mourning of His Majesty the Emperor, the Empire is still having a quiet time.

"This is the orphanage where Kamui grew up, right?

"I grew up a lot. I lived here as an orphan for about six months."

With Hildegand, Kamui was guiding the orphanage. I didn't mean from which side.

Somehow, as a result of the overlapping desire to know more about each other.

"But that's where you grew up for Alto and Lutz. Especially since Rutz was a baby."

"Since then?

"Yes, they were dumped in front of the orphanage."

Hildegand's face clouds as he seemed to have fun. Kamui said it was rusty, but Hildegand can't imagine it being abandoned.

"... So who might your parents be?

"I don't know."

"Yes, I'm sorry about that."

"How about that? Sometimes it's harder to know."

"Really?

"Alto knows his parents' faces. But he doesn't even want to remember."

"... why?

Nor can this alto's mood be imagined by Hildegand.

"I was being abused by my father. She said her mother was always hurt."

…………

In a sad past, unimaginable from the two of us, Hildegand loses his word.

"I couldn't stand it and my mother brought Alto here. I haven't seen my parents since."

"... your mother too?

"Even in shelter, it seems the alto thing was a burden. I've been told a few times that if it wasn't for you crying."

How Alto felt when he said it. That is not a good thing for me to speculate lightly. Hildegand, who felt that way, hesitated to continue talking any further.

"... is it okay for me to hear this story?

"Nothing. I'm fine. If you don't even have sympathy."

"Is sympathy rude?

"Right. Even without our parents, we live properly. Because it can be an orphan's pride."

"Right. I've always been better off with my parents' asylum than I am."

"That sort of thing."

"But life isn't a very good thing, is it? I don't hear good rumors."

Hildegand has also heard rumors about the orphanage. That the church is using it to collect donations while saying it's for people.

"I don't know anything else, but I think it's different here. Discipline is tough, but life is decent"

"Really?

"The bishop will be here soon. You'll see. Maybe."

"Maybe."

"The bishop is also a cat wearer, because he is a fox wearer"

"I've never heard of fox dressing."

"I couldn't find a good analogy. The point is, you're a good man in the skin of a bad man."

"... why did you do that?

Why bother pretending to be a bad guy? Nor can Hildegand tell this.

"It is normal to be evil, and good is strange. That's what churches are for."

"... that's what this is all about."

"Yes, I'm here."

The bishop arrived in a hurry from behind. It's as luxurious as ever. Look at that, Hildegand puts on a little face. This is how I felt about the priestly luxury.

"This is, this is... The Oriental Uncle's maid came all the way here. As an orphanage, I'm very honored."

The bishop shows an attitude of approximation so much as to say whether this is still the case. I am alert to Hildegand, a member of the Oriental House.

"No, I'm sorry for suddenly pushing you. Sorry for the inconvenience."

"You're annoying, that's absurd. Thank you very much to the Oriental House."

As one of the Square House, the Oriental House has made the donation it deserves. This is what the bishop says to take care of.

"That's what my parents do, not me. And what can I really do for you?"

"Of course it's useful. So, what can I do for you today?

"I just wanted to see where Kamui took care of me."

"Really?... Wasn't there any disrespect?

Last time. As a bishop, I can't help but worry.

"Is Kamui there? It's the usual thing to be rude."

"... sorry! Here, Kamui!

"What?"

"You! Rude to the mistress of the Oriental House, etc.!

"Already, good"

To the bishop with an angry look on his face, Kamui said with a bitter laugh.

"What?

"Nothing, Hilda, because you don't have to love your opponent. Hilda is someone you don't need to worry about."

"... Really?

As soon as I heard Kamui's words, the colour of anger has disappeared from the bishop's face. It is at this point that we find out that it was the act that made us angry.

"I brought you here, didn't I?

"But last time,"

"That was forced to come with me. I didn't call you."

"Right. Well, I didn't expect you to appreciate the Oriental House."

Kamui, an aristocratic hater, puts his trust in members of the Uncle Fang family, his noble representative. Nature and a grin appeared on the bishop's face when he found out about it.

"What is it?

"It's grown up."

"I didn't get along with Hilda from the Oriental House."

In contrast, Kamui returns the words in a stubborn manner. Some sweet atmosphere I don't remember seeing in Hildegand can be heard from Kamui's attitude.

"Well, I guess that's the thing. Uh, your name is Lord Hilda?

"My name is Hildegand"

"... I didn't know you would call me by my nickname. I'd love to. It's complicated."

I don't care if you call me Hilda.

"That's not why. I don't like the way you treat people."

"Is that what they say? The Bishop was right about Kamui, wasn't he?

In Kamui's attitude, even without this word, Hildegand had already judged the bishop as someone he could trust.

"What did this guy say?

"He said he was wearing fox skin. It was easier to understand a good man in the skin of a wicked man."

With a smile, Hildegand preaches the words of Kamui to the bishop. I put my trust into words because I wanted to teach you this.

"... at all. I'm not a good person or anything. There are just so many bad guys in the world."

"Really? I don't know the world."

"I don't know what else to do because I grew up like that, but I think there are a lot of things in the world that I need to know because I'm in that position."

"Yes."

"Suddenly you're preaching?

I complained in my mouth, Kamui, but that face is laughing. Kamui knows that the bishop preaches from compassion for his opponent.

"It's not a sermon. I'm preaching common sense."

"Common sense in the world calls it a sermon."

"You're still a master of mouth. Well, this is the guy, thank you."

"Yes."

Significantly change your attitude by how you feel about them. In the end, Hildegand found out in this short time that Kamui and the bishop were alike to each other.

"Well, I guess I'll be back. You're the guide, right?

"Oh, what about the kids?

"I told you not to be on the table at the rally hall to get in a bad mood."

"Right. Then I'll introduce you."

"... Lord, you know what I mean?

Harshness dwelt in the gaze of the bishop toward Kamui.

"I know. each other."

"Good then. Do as you please."

With a reassuring look at Kamui's answer, the bishop went back to the back.

"The last one?

"You know about Hilda's future, don't you?

"Yes."

"Well, you're already out introducing them to the loud guys."

The assembly hall is right in front of where the Kamuis are. A bunch of kids opening that door and letting their faces peek. When Kamui invited him, he jumped out of the assembly hall at the same time.

"Brother Kamui. This man, who?

The smallest girl asked Kamui.

"My friend Hilda."

"Beautiful man," "You're not." "Serene's a good woman, but this one's inside."

The kids began to say whatever they wanted, looking at Hildegand with reluctance.

"Um, nice to meet you. My name is Hildegand."

Hildegand looking a little frightened by the momentum. Still, I managed to say hello.

"You're classier than Serene." "Yeah, beautiful." "You have big breasts."

"Hey! Who is it now!?

"Oh, Kamui got mad!" "Could it be her?" "Yeah? Brother Kamui, are you with her?

Say one thing, and the kids will give you many times that back. That's right. Kamui is no match for the gathered children either.

"No. It was a mistake to make these guys look good."

"Hehe, you didn't like Kamui either, did you?

"Well, I guess I can't beat the kids"

"Hey, what do you want to play with?

One boy came out in front of Hildegand and talked to him.

"Are you playing? What do you usually do?

"Usually, yeah, you're usually a doctor."

"What?"

"Lie. You didn't do that, did you?

"Shit."

"Don't tongue me!

He has a pretty face, but he was a very bad kid. Hildegand has his eyes round such a boy's attitude.

"Um, is it possible that you're Kamui's brother?

"Huh?"

"You're kind of alike."

"You're lying, aren't you?

"No, it looks just like that."

"You're rude, you little sister"

"That's not what you call dialogue!

The two of us left the orphanage trying to shake it off because we needed to do the next thing after being sporadically swayed by the kids like this.

I walk relaxed off the front street and down the back road.

"That was fun."

Hildegand looks satisfied when he sees Kamui he's not usually seen.

"Really? I'm so tired."

"Isn't it always like that?

"Today was worse than usual. You were glad Hilda was here, weren't you?

"Really?

"Oh. It's not a place people visit all the time. Sometimes people come here because the purpose is to find an adopted child, so you can't have that attitude, right?

"Why?"

Kamui has said it as a matter of course, but Hildegand didn't know why.

"Because they like it. That's what makes me strong inside. I can't be adopted because then my life changes."

Hildegand has already heard what the life of an orphan who could not be adopted is like. Listening to Kamui makes me worry about the future of the kids I meet as soon as possible.

"How long can I stay in the orphanage?

"Until adults. I have to leave when I'm too grown up. Whether you have a job or not."

"No!?

"There's a limit to how many you can feed. That's not what the bishop wants."

If we leave the elderly forever, for that matter, we will abandon young children who cannot live alone. It's not the bishop's fault. The world is bad today, which constantly creates orphans.

"I could only talk to the bishop a little bit, but I didn't really feel like a priest."

"That's the real priest. Something else is wrong."

"The church seems to have a lot of problems, too, right?

"Well, I've met that bishop. It's a miracle, in a way."

"Perhaps so?

"Well, it's about time. Earplugs."

"... Yes?

"'Cause there's gonna be more confusion than the kids just did"

"Is it more than the kids? But there's no such thing as a child in here."

Things are totally getting more squeaky around here, and it's not a very childlike place.

"No, not children"

"Oh, Kamui! What's the matter, take the new woman!

What I hear is that of a woman, not a child's voice.

"Out..."

"Again, Señor..."

"Is that it?"

Kamui is more confused when she sees a whore who, as usual, thought she would slap him lightly on the mouth, mumbling along the way.

"Kamui, what are you doing bringing a woman here?

The whore is clearly grumpy.

"Uh, college friends"

"Serene is beautiful too, but this is again... What kind of idiot is Kamui?"

Now another whore, looking at Majesty and Hildegand, has a frightened face.

"Um?"

"Maybe you're Kamui's girlfriend?

"No, not her"

"Right. Look, I don't want a daughter like you to come here."

"Excuse me."

"No, because you don't have to apologize. Daimyo, Kamui forced you to bring him here, didn't he?

"No, I said I wanted to come"

"Why again?

"I wanted to know where Kamui usually spends his time."

"... Are you in love with Kamui?

"Um, that's..., yes"

Hildegand thinks he doesn't want to deny his feelings for Kamui. And the person you're talking to right now won't bother Kamui even if he's honest.

"What!? Why would a daughter like you do something like that?!

"It's terrible for Kamui, isn't it?

"You are a man... That's enough. No promises."

"What!?

Hildegand thought there would be no trouble.

"I'm so sorry about the guy who's in love with such a nice girl."

"No!?

"What are you surprised about? Ask her if she has time to deal with something."

"... I can't do that"

"Anyway, if you're compared to a girl like that, you're gonna be miserable. I don't have a choice. From now on, I'm going to talk about Lutz or Alto."

"Wait a minute!

"I won't wait. That's what I'm talking about. Don't worry, my lady."

"Ah, yes."

Hildegand replies, not knowing what to be relieved of.

"Well, then, don't ever come here again."

"... Yes"

Hildegand was depressed when the whore told him so clearly, but beside him was Kamui, who was even more depressed.

"It's over..."

"What about those people?

"Whores working in whorehouses around here"

"Are you a whore?

"Oh."

"You were beautiful ladies, weren't you?

"Because there are many luxury whorehouses around here"

"Really...... They told me not to come anymore."

Hildegand is quite shocked that he was rejected in a familiar location in Kamui.

"That's what people do. I don't know, there's a lot I think about women.

"But you also know Mr. Serene, don't you?

From the words of the whore, a familiarity with Serene was felt. This is further depressing Hildegand.

"Oh, I wouldn't say that to Sere. Is it because it's Hilda?

"You hated me, didn't you?

"No, that's not it. They're beautiful, aren't they?

"Yes, they are beautiful people."

"Is that their support, or pride? You have strong feelings that you can't beat the women around here. Isn't that because you thought Hilda lost?

It's a Kamui fabrication to comfort Hildegand, but it's a line quite close to the thoughts of the whores. Not the ugliness of the exterior, but the elegance of Hildegand, who was born in an advanced aristocratic house called the Fang Uncle Family. That's something the whores will never get.

"... is that a compliment?

"Once."

"Yes. Glad to hear it.... Speaking of which, what promise?

"Yes?"

A dialogue I don't want to be touched. That's what's suddenly popping out of Hildegand's mouth, Kamui showing a slight upset.

He said, "No promises. I was depressed."

"Really? That's not true."

"What kind of promise did you make?

Hildegand wouldn't forgive me if I let him fall in love.

"It's..."

"You said they were, didn't you? Even if they compare."

"Was I?

"They're whores, aren't they?

"Yes."

"What do you mean, they're dealing with them?

Hildegand's pursuit is unforgiving. And against Hildegand, it was a wonder and a kamui not to be misled as well as others.

"... you know, you're asking.

"Oh, what do I know, am I listening? Can you tell me?

"Uh... first time with you"

"Of what?

"... of the night"

"Kamui!"

"Don't be angry! They're making fun of me."

"But you were depressed?

'Cause he said it was good for free.

"What's free... Are you that interested in women naked?

"I'm interested."

"Right. I tried to peek into the bath."

"Do you want to steam that story back here?

"I'll steam it back as many times as I can. No more for women other than me..."

Hildegand couldn't keep the word going until the end. I realized it was a word I shouldn't have said.

"I don't deserve to say this, do I?

"Not really, but it is, isn't it?

"... shall we get this story done?

Though I think I need to draw a line, I can't do that well. This is always the end of the exchange between the two of us.

"That's better. Shop, we're almost there, shall we hurry?

"Yes."

And what arrived was the dining room run by the Admiral, as in the example.

"It looks a bit like that, because it's a decent dining room"

"... Yes"

Hildegand was also confused by its appearance.

"Wait a minute. That's right, Hilda. I'll check inside."

"What's that?

"I told the Admiral, it's all right."

Without answering Hildegand's question, Kamui opened the door and peered inside. In front of the Oriental House of Uncle Humans, there is no such thing as a man with the courage to tell a secret story. I'm not talking about secrets like this.

"Admiral! I brought you here, are you all right?

"Oh, I'm fine! Really, we're talking!

I hear the Admiral from inside.

"Looks fine. Let's go in."

"Yes."

Hildegand followed Kamui into the building. He was in the dining room, so he seemed a little relieved.

"Is that it? Were you here?

"Mr. Marie!?

Knowing that the person Kamui spoke to was Marie, Hildegand shouted surprised and unexpectedly. Too unexpected a client for Hildegand.

"You weren't here. Who are you bringing?

"Hilda"

"If you look at that, you'll see! I'm telling you, I'm not a good person to bring you here!

"For once, I want to see it."

Wherever Kamui blows, even if Marie yells at him with an amazing sword screen.

"Does Marie come here well, too?

And that's the same for Hildegand.

"Me? Me, I need a little help. I go there regularly."

"Really..."

Hildegand, unaware of the circumstances, shows a slight disappointment in Marie's words. Anyway, it was Hildegand who honestly expressed his emotions when it came to getting involved with Kamui.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in Kamui. What I'm interested in is the prototype of the magic prop they're using here."

"Is it a demon prop?

"Yes. You can make it a little interesting. Well, I don't like the camouflage involved."

"That's terrible. I'm the one who made the prototype, right?

"That's the least I like. Besides, aren't you the only one left to Alto?

"You're better at alts. So, how's it going?

"It feels pretty good. Isn't that right? Admiral."

I've actually been there many times. Marie's attitude toward the Admiral has turned to shattered. Hildegand doesn't know.

"Oh, user-friendliness isn't a problem anymore."

"What's next?

"Replenishment of magic. You need regular replenishment, right? I thought it might be easier."

"How?

"I'm going to make it interchangeable. Make sure you can remove the magical parts."

"Isn't that hard? If the contact area is not successfully made, the conductivity efficiency will be…"

Kamui, who immediately comes up with this, possesses considerable knowledge of the Magic Instruction. So even though Marie complains, we're doing it together.

"Yes. That's the challenge. But if I can do that, I'm done with this. If you leave the spare, you won't have any trouble with the sudden loss of magic. I don't need to send anyone in exchange."

"Oh, finally"

"It's hard at the end of it though. Well, I'll see what I can do."

"I'm hoping."

"... even if you expect me to"

"It's nothing good, is it?

"For what I expect on my own. So, what are you doing with Hildegand?

'Cause he always says he wants to see the dining room he's in.'

"Really?

"Yeah, I asked for it."

"... I heard rumors, but, you know, is that really what this is all about?

No one really thinks the two of us are made, even if it's actually rumoured. It is the result of the thought that it cannot be confined to the Hildegand of the Oriental House and the work of Alto, who spreads the thought.

"That's what I mean, we're good friends"

"If it's more than that, you'll be in trouble. It's not like I'm in trouble."

"Well."

"Well, in that case, I'm in the way."

"Oh, wait a minute."

Kamui pulled over Marie, who took a seat to go home.

"Why?

'Cause I'm supposed to be in the store for a while.

"Huh?"

"No, customers, you're kicking some people out, aren't you? That's what I promised the Admiral I'd do while he was out."

"So why are you stopping me?

"In the meantime, I need you to deal with Hilda"

"A little?"

Marie doesn't get along well with Hildegand, even if she tells her to. On the other hand, we've barely talked about it.

"It's nothing good, is it? I'll buy you a drink."

…………

"What is it?

"I can't believe you're luxurious to people. The end of the world is near."

"Shut up. I don't want to talk about that, just sit right down. Hilda, too. For a little while."

"Yes, I don't mind"

"Well, shall I let you go as soon as possible? I'll take care of it later."

In anticipation of a story with Marie, the Admiral called out.

"Oh, I'll take care of it"

Kamui into the counter in exchange for the Admiral. Quickly, what I'm preparing for is a drink that Hildegand will also prepare for Marie.

Seeing that, Marie invited Hildegand to a table nearby.

"In the meantime, shall we wait?

"Yes."

"... but isn't this the first time you and I have been facing each other this way?

"I feel like it was when I was a little girl, but it's the first time since you got your mind on it"

"Is that because of that idiot too?"

"Thanks to you"

As Marie said, Hildegand replied with a bitter laugh.

"You mean thanks to me?

"Thanks to you. Because thanks to Kamui, Marie and Deefreet can talk normally."

When I was just in school, each of them was a rival faction lord, or even if they weren't, there was no room for intimacy.

"Diefleet and I have been getting along a lot lately, haven't we? But is that good? Whatever I am, Deefleet."

As far as Deefleet is concerned, there is a conflict of interest directly from the front. But that, too, is with Deefleet of the Western House.

"Well, it's complicated between parents, but there's no need for us to get involved in it. I guess that's just while you're in college."

"You know what I mean, don't you? Is that true? That's how I've lived my whole life."

"Yeah, that's what I've been taught."

"I've thought about it before, but you, you've changed the vibe."

"I've been told a lot lately. But I think it's good for me."

"Well, you are. I think so, too. I think it's easier for you to hang out now."

"Isn't that Marie, too? I honestly didn't think it was the type to praise people that way."

"Really? If so, so is that."

"Is it because of Kamui?

Hildegand smiled and deliberately used the word "fault”.

"Oh, you, too"

There's also a grin on Marie's face when she hears that.

"Right."

"You're an unusual bastard, aren't you? On the other hand, there's something I don't hate about killing you."

"I don't think I want to kill you."

"Well, because there's a lot going on.... hey, how far do you know about him?

The grin that was on Marie's face disappeared and turned into a serious look.

"Come on, I don't know. The more you know about Kamui, the less you know about him."

"Isn't that right? But he's not everything he usually is. Such a loving bastard, but that's fine, there's something cruel about it."

I can put harshness into Marie's gaze at saying this. Marie knows the cruel side of Kamui that Hildegand has never seen.

"How could you do that?

"If I only looked at what was good about him, I'd think I'd be shocked later"

"Marie is sweet, isn't she?

"Ya, sweet?

Here, Marie didn't think this word would come out.

"Yeah, you care about me. But it's okay. I know some things about Kamui."

"What?"

"Please don't take a sweet look at the intelligence network of the Oriental House. You thought me and Kamui were getting too close, you did a lot of research and told me. All the stories I don't really want to hear."

"What's that?

Some of the evils Kamui has done involve Marie. It's hard information for people to know.

"Oh, if you ask too deeply, Marie's in trouble, too, right?

"Oh, you know what?"

As I thought, Marie is also being investigated for what she did. Marie can't hide her upset when she finds out about it.

"Don't worry, the evidence doesn't seem to be completely up"

"... right. But can I ask you that?

"I was just a little shocked. But Kamui has something to protect. I think that's what it is. Besides, at least he never set himself up. Everything you heard Kamui did is a counterattack to what he's done, isn't it?

"... well, as far as I know, yes."

Marie is one of those set up tenants, but she talks like any other person out of awkwardness.

"That's what I'm talking about. He will not forgive his enemies. But really, it's subtle, too."

"What makes you think that?

"Mr. Marie is alive. I live and talk to Kamui amicably."

"But that's..."

Because I'm trying to use Marie. This is something Marie can't talk about. Not for Kamui, but for his own honor.

"You have some reason, don't you? But even so. Kamui can't be truly heartless. I think so."

"... right. I think so, too."

"I knew Mr. Marie was sweet, right?

"If that's what you think, it's"

"It's Kamui's fault."

On Hildegand's face, which was dark, a grin returned.

"That's right.... You really like it? About that man."

"Yeah, I like Kamui"

"... if you say it so straight, it'll light up better this way"

"Heh heh, I need to stab the nail like this. If Marie likes Kamui, she'll be in trouble."

"Huh? Guidance, you have a strong appetite for exclusivity, don't you?

"Because I have limited time."

"... right"

"If it's a limited amount of time, I want you to at least be nice to me in the meantime"

"Oh, take care"

"Yes."

My space expands just by spending time with Kamui. Same today. I never imagined Hildegand talking to Marie like this.

I thought I was special. But Hildegand thought that a truly special being meant something like Kamui.

Kamui has the power to change people.

If it's that Kamui, I'm sure the world can change too. Hildegand was thinking about it, watching Kamui make drinks at the counter.
