Maou No Utsuwa

Kamui became a one-jump celebrity in a swordsmanship match. What he wants is to make a scene around him on the back. Kamui complaining about it flourishing, but just one word that I deserve this time back from my buddies.

Even if not, Kamui's strength has been widely known throughout the Empire. I can't think of any alts, such as measures to put that out.

Kamui has no choice but to spend every day avoiding people without the art of exchange.

"... that's why we're here?

"There's nowhere else to go."

Even when it comes to avoiding people, there are limited places where Kamui can hide in the college. It's like the backyard of a college where you work out, or this room. When it comes to staying in one room or the other, it still becomes an indoor room.

"Then go home"

"A lot of people have found out that I'm in an orphanage. Besides, an orphanage doesn't make you run away."

"Why?"

"The bishop is in trouble"

There's no way I won't see you if those dignitaries of the Empire visit me. Imitating to get rid of it doesn't necessarily mean you won't be bothered by the orphanage. This is what Kamui worries about.

"Not just the bishop, but me too."

"You're making a big deal out of me, aren't you?

"Your presence annoys me."

"You have no way of saying that, do you? I'm a member of the Magic Guidance Research Society. What's wrong with coming to the room?

"I still do that... You don't need to hide anymore, do you?

"How rude of you to hide. I'm still taking my research seriously."

With that said, Kamui lifts up a bunch of paper to show Marie. Every day, when I come to this room, Kamui tells me something.

"That's what I've been wondering. What kind of research are you doing?

"We're planning a sales strategy for Marie's Pot."

"Yes?"

"So, Marie's Pot's"

"What's that marie's pot!?

"Marie thought of a boiling demon prop. Marie's pot. Marie's Pot"

"Don't give me that name on your own!

"This is where you thank me, isn't it?

"Why should I thank you?

"If this product sells, Marie's name will spread all over the world at once"

"... is that a good thing?

It's not a bad thing to sell your name. However, when Kamui is involved in it, I get anxious as soon as possible.

"If it's a good product. With all the bad stuff, don't be famous as the one who makes the worst magic props."

"A man named you..."

In a way, Marie gets more frightened than angry at the answer she expected.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm seriously trying to spread Marie's Pot to the world."

"Are you serious?

"Seriously, too. Even the product name is very serious. I'm going to think of a name that you'll soon remember."

"... well, if you say so. If you ignore what's in your name, it's an easy name to remember."

"What? You really think so?

"You!

"It's a joke. After hearing the views of the Admiral and his acquaintances, I was told that the price was reasonably reasonable. It is also user-friendly. Not a bad commodity."

"Right..."

I'm still happy to be complimented on my demonic props. Marie's expression has a natural grin on her face.

"Well, I'm in a better mood to have a business meeting."

"A business meeting?

There was only a few moments when I was smiling. Marie is changing her expression and pointing her suspicious gaze at Kamui.

"... that attitude, isn't it terrible?

"Considering what you've done so far, it's natural."

"Absolutely. Because this is also a serious story"

"... what?

"Products don't spread to the world unless you sell them"

"Of course you do."

"Marie's pot must also be sold by someone"

"That's what you call it?

"No way. It's otto to sell"

"... right. Is he starting a business?"

"He was originally the son of a merchant."

"But that can happen... Oh, you know what?"

Marie had heard that the Kamuis were going to make money gambling against each other. I remember that and am convinced.

"I could have done enough to start a business. Too much."

"So, Marie's pot?

"You call yourself Marie's Pot?

"It's a product name!

"Well, well. I was serious about selling Marie's Pot because the new merchant, the young Otto, is my husband. Then it's not easy to buy the product without trust."

Still, if you try to purchase it, the terms of the purchase, such as prepayment, will be stricter. In Otto, who starts off with only a few funds, it is visible that he will soon cease to stand.

"I can see that somehow. But Marie's Pot just made a prototype. Even if they call it purchasing."

"I know that. That's where we'll be in business."

"... what?

After being told so much about specifics, Marie was finally willing to listen to Kamui's business conversation as well.

"I want you to cede your Marie's Pot rights to Otto"

"Huh?"

"You're not going to let Marie make it, are you?

"Well, that's true."

"So I want you to sign an agreement that gives Otto the right to manufacture, as inventor, so that Otto can make it. And the right to sell."

"Did you do that on purpose?

Otto is also involved in development, albeit mainly in costing. Marie doesn't know what it means to go out of her way to make a contract an exaggeration.

"For a reason. Assuming Marie's Pot becomes a popular product, those who imitate it may also come out. If a big merchant does that, Otto won't win."

"... I don't know yet"

"When the imitator comes out, Marie complains as the inventor. And that prevents imitation."

Marie's title as the daughter of the head of the Imperial Mage comes in handy at times like that. If the head of the Imperial Mage Corps looks at you, it can affect the trade in magic props. If I can make you think like this, I will succeed.

"You come up with that a lot. But you want me to do that?

"That's why I'm saying it earlier. Business deals. Otto pays you according to the number of sales. If you sell a lot, Marie will have a lot of money."

"If it sells."

"Well, yeah. But that payback isn't a bad story, is it?

"Yes, but I'm not interested in making money."

"I know that too. So Suggest."

"What's next?

"The money earned from the sale of Marie's Pot shall be used to develop the following magic props"

"Huh?"

"I've also been thinking about the Maries series"

"What's the Maries series..."

"Maries Hot for use as a little heating in cold weather"

"Hey?"

"No, because I'm not kidding"

"Where? Pot and hot."

"There's more. When it's hot, how about a cold breeze? Marie's Cool"

"... hot and cool. Is that worth using?

"Cool is still a bit of that, but Hot came up with some"

"For example?"

"First of all, as a heater, make your phone easier and more usable when camping. Camping in cold land is tough. There's no fire in the tent."

"... I see"

As far as explanations are concerned, it doesn't seem bad to Marie as a method of use.

"I have other uses than heating. Allow cold meals to be easily warmed. It's better to eat warmer."

"Difficult demands. That's gonna be a hell of a lot harder to adjust."

Whatever warms you up changes the firepower you need. Marie didn't immediately come up with how to control it. However, thinking about it is evidence that Marie is already motivated.

"That's the show of my arm as a developer."

"Well, yeah,"

"Nothing. You don't even have to stick to what I thought. If you think you can make something good, you can make it freely. No matter how you spend the money you earn, it's Marie's choice."

"You... Could it be for me?

Making magic artifacts that make people's lives convenient. Marie already knows the joy. But that can't be achieved in the Imperial Mages, Marie's path and military organization.

Kamui is offering Marie the means to make that impossible happen.

"No, it's for Otto. Marie, well, here we go."

"Not at all..."

Even if it did, I'm pretty sure I was thinking about Marie. There's something very ruthless about you, but you like it. Besides my buddies, the best I know of that can actually be Marie.

"What do you say?

"Oh, that's good. I'll make you a deal."

"Whoa! Right, that's good! Thanks!"

And even though it is for others, I will gladly thank them as much as I do for myself. The more I know about Kamui, the more my hatred for Kamui fades from Marie's heart.

There's actually not enough left to say at all anymore.

"You've finally finished another contract."

"Another contract?

"Here, take it"

Marie took a piece of paper from her desk drawer and offered it to Kamui.

"... What's this?

At first glance I guessed what it was. Kamui, but at first I'll ask Marie.

"Words of promise. I'm pretty sure it's the information that anyone who was directly involved in developing the collar had."

"... thanks. Marie, I love you."

"Heh!? Then, fool! You don't give a shit, take your collar off me!

"It's already off. 'Cause the word now is the word of disarming that I built in."

If Marie tried her hand around her neck, the collar was definitely off.

"What kind of words do you say..."

"I was gonna think of a word you'd never say, but now you're about to say it with vegetables"

"Fool......"

"Why don't you show Alto that shame, not me?

"Idiot!"

"No, because this is also a serious story. Thanks to this, I was able to see what was left to be done in the Imperial Capital. If you do that, there's no use for the Imperial Capital anymore. We're going back to our territory."

"What about graduation?

"The purpose of coming to the Imperial Capital is not to graduate from the College. I'm not saying everything, but I'm going to learn what I need to learn in college. Later, a little sooner, I want to take advantage of it in the territory"

"... right"

Marie gets depressed, not least because she won't be able to see Alto. Somehow, while we've been together for so long, Marie only has Kamui before that.

"Well, that's it. The trigger sucked...... but now I'm glad I found out with Marie"

"Right. Well, so am I. I didn't expect to meet a guy at the academy who could complain to each other from such a front. Just..."

"Just what?

"That's not how you put it. Me and you are going to fight."

"What? What?

"I'll follow Hildegand. Not as the daughter of the head of the Imperial Mage, just as Marie."

"I see. You've got a tough enemy."

"Sort of."

"So... again, next time, right?

"Oh, I'll see you again."

This relationship between the good enemy, Kamui and Marie will still continue.

◇ ◇ ◇

What Kamui is left to do in the Imperial Capital. That's not just about Otto. There's another thing you've decided to do before Otto. Although Kamui is only in a position of support.

"Brother, please do something. If I get paid any more, I'm gonna be in a lot more trouble."

In a completely unusual tone, Dark is speaking to the man in front of him. The man Dark calls his brother is the number three in the largest organization in the Glades. As I call it, it's Dark's brother's share.

"Ugh! I'm telling you to wait a little longer! Can't you hear me for my brother?!

"But the payment due date is long past. Why are you harassing me like that?"

"I'm not harassing you!

"Then why aren't you paying me? It's a matter of credit as a torso not to pay for a beating, no matter how much you have, right?

"It's..."

A man for his brother who loses momentum as soon as possible in Dark's words. I saw how it went. Dark looks surprised.

"I don't think so."

"... what?

"Am I not the only one who hasn't paid for a beating win?

"... then what?

I mean, as Dark asked, there are other things that keep us behind on our payments.

"It's not what it is. Isn't that lame? What do you think your parents would think if they found out?"

"I know that!

"Well, I have to pay you right away"

"I can't even pay you!

"... why?

"Paying more, not enough money on hand."

"No, you don't have that, do you? Even I know that the torso always wins."

"It's..., normally it is"

"No way, wrong hanging rate?

"No, you're not."

"... did you bother to multiply the rate?

"The popularity is too biased against the Imperial College in my country, and now we have one sale."

"So I can't believe the torso that doesn't hold back the money"

"Ugh! Because you say the Empire will win!

"Ha!? Did I say that to my brother?

"You were about to bet it all on the Empire, weren't you?

I don't have to think about why my brother knows this.

"... at first it was, but I, I'm changing it, right?

"Are you changing it?

"After World War II, exactly in the middle. That's why I made money."

"... I don't know. I didn't get that information!

"What information?

"Oh, no, you didn't know where you bet."

What a white way to fall in love, but now is not the time to pursue it. For my brother's sake, I need him to work from now on.

"I'll get back to it, but if it's just me, I don't think I can wait for my brother. But..."

"But what?

"I have to pay my parents."

"Hey, what?

When I heard Dark's words, my brother's complexion changed.

"I think I found out where you heard me make a little money this time."

"So you're paying for it? Why won't you let me through? You're under me, aren't you?

Dark's position in the organization is that of his brother, a parent's child. Dark's payment goes to his brother, including Dark's, and it goes to his parents as a payment for his brother.

"Please ask your brother for that. I don't know why I'm suddenly treated like a direct line."

"Is something wrong?

"Nothing. Just..."

"What!?

"No, this is..."

"Just say it! What happened!?

"Brother, are you doing anything worse besides gambling this time? Somehow they asked me the way I was being explored."

"... what?

"I don't know how much money you're raising, or if you have anything to do with other organizations"

"... what did I tell you?

My brother's face is even bluer. When you know it, it's the same thing you're confessing. But even if Dark can't get this look on his face, he's talking about it knowing he knows it from the beginning.

"Payments are well, honestly. If I misled you, I would have."

"What else?

"No, I don't know any other organization."

"Right..."

A brother's share to show you how obviously horrible he is. Hide the insides that he's an easy man to handle, and Dark creates a worrying look and continues the conversation.

"I'm not the only one who's asked."

"Who?

"That's it. But to be honest, my brother's rumors had been in my ear for a long time before he heard them. Naturally, parents better think they know everything."

"Oh no..."

"How can you imitate betrayal?

"Chi, wait a minute. I didn't do anything like that."

"But do business with other organizations."

"That's to make more money."

"But as a result, the money went all the way to the other guy, and my brother drilled the other way"

"You know that much..."

"Trying to make extra money on the torso to mislead it?

"Yes."

"I think it sucks, don't you? Whatever your brother's true intentions are, I don't care what that parent thinks."

"Because what am I supposed to do? There's nothing you can do about it, is there?

"I think it's my hand to make up my mind."

"Ready?"

"I'll kill you before they kill you"

"You... that's..."

"I've been pitying my brother for a long time. My brother sucks. He takes his job seriously, but all he loves is good money earners."

"Oh, yeah"

"Is this operation all about making money? I don't think so."

"Exactly. You need the courage to put your life on the line."

"Right? So what happens now, even if it's good..."

Dark's words are hunting down his brother more and more. Anxiety is fuelled and further aggravated. When it gets bigger, all I can think about is getting rid of that anxiety.

This is where my brother is now. Like this, Dark has planted the seeds of anxiety for his brother, little by little.

"... you know"

"Yes."

"If I were, only tentatively, I would be."

"Yes."

"What would you do if you went up there?

My brother's thoughts reached where Dark wanted them.

"Does that mean I'm up there, too? Then I'll follow my brother."

"Is that true?

"Naturally. I didn't make a fool of myself because I'm a hungry ghost. It helps a lot when you have the numbers, and I have the confidence to do it."

"Right..."

Even if you don't listen to this story about Dark, your brother knows that Dark is amassing quite a few people. Because I know, I sent in those who give me information, and I asked them if they would still follow me.

"The rest depends on your brother's decision. I just don't have much time to think about it. You know what I mean."

"Oh, I know"

I don't need time to think. The conclusion is already drawn. That's all Dark's brother's share is cornered. It wasn't the parents who cornered him, it was Dark.

What I told my brother is quite colored. I'm exaggerating a few facts. The slight fact that his parents suspected him of betraying his brother was also the result of Dark's information.

The Darks are getting ready for the day. And that day is going to come much sooner than I thought it would be at first.

Dirk went outside, blowing in some more bad push information for his brother.

"The finishing touches are excellent. Sounds sooner than I thought. I guess we should hurry up and get ready. Oh, first of all, the end of a bug that was there sometime ago."

Dark whining to himself. As I reacted to that soliloquy, several shadows lurked in the shadows, scattered in unison.

One of them. Shadows a little smaller than the other shadows go through the slums. We're heading to Kamui's. To deliver Dark's message to himself.
