Maou No Utsuwa

The late-night ghetto is surrounded by an unusual hustle and bustle.

It's not the whimpering voice of the drunk that resonates, but the voice of contention. That's not one or two, either. It's the roar of more than a hundred desolates killing each other.

"What the fuck are you kids doing?!

"I said I'd give you a helper soon."

"No way, you betrayed me?!

It was good until I saw the gap and killed the parents who divided the Glades, but I didn't have time to float on it, and I was in a situation where they would storm Azit.

If it were meant to be. He attacked the ambush he was planning to carry out.

The opponent is a far away group from militants, but he has been driven to a considerable disadvantage by the fact that he was totally surprised and by the gestures he was making to dominate other groups.

There is no indication that the group of Darks, who should have sent the decree in haste, will ever show up either. That's right. I told them about the assassination of my parents because it was the dark one.

There is now a triple battle going on in the Glades. The forces of the largest faction directly below the parent and Dark's brother's assigned ambush unit. And it's a fight on the spot.

Naturally, my brother, who is contending with the two forces at the same time, is the most disadvantaged. Besides, that subordination doesn't mean he has a strong loyalty. As we become disadvantaged, the number of allies is slowly decreasing. It was also only a matter of time before the enemy stepped into Asia.

"... how did this happen?

Unexpectedly, the words of mourning out of your mouth. There was a voice to answer to that word that I intended to speak to myself.

"Well, brother. He deserves it."

"Dark?! It's late, isn't it?

"No, even if they say it's late. I'm still in a hurry."

"Well, good. Anyway, thanks. So how many subordinates did you bring in?

"Almost everyone. Some of them are turning to the other."

"Oh well. All right, manage to drive the enemy back."

"I don't like it. We've almost killed the enemy already. There's only a few left."

"Hmm? Really?

"Yeah, that's right. After that, only the number of people here, including my brother."

"Become? Grrr!

The surprise voice of my brother is also a flash. That quickly turned into a groan. Through the hidden doors you know because you are a disciple, Dark, one fellow Dark emerges after another, slaughtering the men who were on the spot.

We couldn't afford to rival the opponent who ate the complete unintended blow, and it didn't take long for the mover to be the only fellow Dark.

"Well, tell them we're done here."

"What's next?

"We don't need to get our hands on it. Let's have a head-on battle with the adults."

"You're letting them crush each other?

"Well."

"Is that going to work?

"That would be good if the number dropped at all. I'll leave the rest to the guards."

"What?"

"The guards will be here soon. Let them raise their allies. Even if you're wrong, don't let them get you caught. We have things to do after we clean the guards."

"You're a guy... Horrible. You even use the guards?

"It's good to be on your side, isn't it? We, the weak, use whatever we can. Well, it's my friend's favor this time, so it's a little different."

There could be a dispute in the Glades. It was Kamui who told the guards that. Of course, she used the back shield of Princess Sophilia well.

It's not particularly difficult. That would be the guard's business, so the guard was happy to promise to deploy. Of course, those who suffer from it are also in the Guard, but such people can, on the contrary, be as flexible as they want later. If you can't, you just have to complain that you're connected behind it. Because it's true.

"Who's that friend?

"You don't need to know. All right, tell everyone!

"Oh, oh."

Dark dropped off his buddies who rushed out. There was a line of mites next to it at some point.

"Tell Kamui. Stage two has been successfully completed."

"Yes, I understand."

"Is that it? Why is that a tribute?

"I was wondering if from now on we should clearly figure out who's the apex around us?

"Sure. How do you feel about that?

"We have to do this..."

"Can't you serve Kamui?

"... decree, I'm coming"

There was no clear answer, but Mito's reaction made Dark see that his words were a star.

I felt a little lonely when they took me, Dark, but that was a moment too.

"Well, you're a camouflage. But, Mito, are you okay? I hope you stay longing as the Lord, but if you fall in love with Kamui, you're gonna have a hard time, aren't you?

"Why are you struggling?

"My friends are hot. Well, that's good, but dull. Mito, then I don't think you'll understand how I feel for the rest of my life."

"Oh, Mito, you don't like to express your feelings."

"Is that it? Honorable to you?

"Just like Mito said. From now on, it's time we put on some bullshit."

"Kind of lonely."

"That's the fate of what stands on top. Oh, my God."

"Right. You need to be ready when you get here? But respectfully, if you have something to say, say it right."

"Of course. That's my man's job, too, isn't it?

"You're one of my men and comrades."

"Yes."

"Well, let's pull it up, too. Make sure you get back to the screw in pieces."

"Yes, I'm telling you right"

◇ ◇ ◇

Usually, at this hour, it's a busy time with drunk guests, but today the silence is covering the dining room.

The faces of the men gathered at the table in the middle, all dark. One person, without opening his mouth, without wandering, waited for time to pass.

The only exception is that I'm carrying the meal in front of me in my mouth.

We are gathered here. Powerful people compartmentalizing this neighborhood. From their perspective, Kamui, who is eating without any concern for himself, is very busy and angry with it, but no one can complain in front of the Admiral.

They are all men who are in some way grateful to the Admiral.

"... are you here?

Stop the hand of the meal, and Kamui shrugs inadvertently. As the men who reacted to it turned to the entrance, the entrance door opened immediately.

It was Mito who came in. Coming straight under Kamui, Mito told him only one word.

"Done"

"Yes. What about the guards?

"I thought it was about the time we were already in."

"Okay. Thanks."

"No."

That concludes our conversation. Only a little, seemingly unfortunate, Mito left the dining room.

"I mean, what's going on?

"The crushing is almost over. After that, the guards will just pull the rest of the party."

"Well, well."

When I heard the conversation between the Admiral and Kamui, the colour of surprise spread across the men's faces.

"No way, did you really do it?

"No, I guess not yet. You'll be back soon anyway."

"Right. Then again, it's back to normal."

Kamui has interrupted the men's conversation here.

"I won't be back any time soon. Even if you come back, not so many."

"How can you say that?

'Cause this time the guards are serious, too.'

"Seriously?"

"Seriously, he's trying to sweep away the villains in the Glades."

"Are you such an idiot?

It is well known to those in the backtown that the care of the guards is only in the form of hands-on earnings.

"True. 'Cause the Knights of the Empire, far above, is eyeing. Here, if we do bad things, our necks will be jeopardized"

"... why would the Knights of the Empire do that? I can't imagine the Knights caring about the Glades."

"I taught. Guards and favela adhesion. You were pretty angry."

"You?

"Yes."

"... who are you?

For the first time here the men changed their eyes to see Kamui. I mean, I didn't know anything.

"Is that it? Haven't you asked the Admiral?

"Nothing."

"I couldn't tell if it was a good name."

"Oh, yeah. No problem. My name is Kamui Kreutz."

"What!?

"Imperial Wu!?

"No way!?

No one in the Imperial capital today knows the name of Kamui. The impact of the kingdom's rivalry was so intense.

"I'm glad you're surprised. Now, could you believe your connection to the Knights of the Empire?

"Ah, oh. But you, no, you rule the Glades?

"No way. I just couldn't tolerate the corruption of the Guard, the Knights on it. There just happened to be civil strife and timing in the Glades"

It's a white lie, but dare I say, the men didn't try to deny it.

Because if you do it poorly, you feel harmful to yourself. Good luck is also necessary to survive in the back society. Those who are here are those who have such an idea.

"When that happens, who's going to rule the Glades?

"Come on?"

"Hey?"

"I got you all together because I want to ask you something. I don't know who's going to rule the Glades."

"Hey, Kamui. Exactly. Isn't that white?

The Admiral has pinched his mouth in view of the confusion of the men. But that general doesn't change Kamui's words either.

"Leave it at that. And in fact, I'm not going to be involved in the Glades any further. It's not like the person I think is going to rule."

"Right. So, what's a favor?

"I hope you don't get involved in the Glades. It will take a little while for the ghetto to come together. In the meantime, it may be said that it is weakening. If someone comes in from outside with that gap, you're in trouble."

"I see. That restraint."

"Not restraint, please"

"Either is good. But you can't just ask for it, can you?

"No?"

"That's right. First and foremost, we must promise that we will not grow our forces out of the Glades. If you knew about this one, you'd be afraid of it."

"Oh, well. I hope you don't get involved. Mutually Impenetrable, please."

"Don't use hard words"

"Oh, yeah? Then we won't invade each other's territory."

"How do you guarantee that?

"Do you have any guarantees? You can't let a ghetto come out in the first place, can you?

"That's true, though."

"Right, can I put it this way? The Glades want isolation from all around them."

"Quarantine?"

"Don't you see... Bye, Independent."

"What!?

"Can't you do this? I want to live by my own rules."

"... say so from the beginning"

"That's hard to explain. Among the Elves and Demons, we need our own rules. That doesn't work if you step out of the Glades, so you don't want to go outside the other way around. So don't worry."

"Hmm, I see."

The Admiral finally showed his convincing face. That's the same for the men around us.

"Finally got through."

"What are its own rules and doings?

"That's not what I can explain. It's up to the inhabitants of the Glades."

"Though that would be unique enough already. Residents decide?

"We make it easier for ourselves to live, so we will, won't we?

"That's right..."

"It's not like I can do anything. Once you've set the rules, you have to follow them. So whoever rules the Glades has something to do with it."

"Hmm."

"How about this place? Can I get an answer?

"What do you say? Is there anything else you'd like to hear?

"Are you sure you can rule? If the confusion continues, the impact will be on the outside, right? If that happens, you can't leave this one alone."

"Maybe it's okay. If we can sweep away the forces we have now, we will remain fine. A lot of residents are supposed to work together. If there is anyone who disagrees with it, they will be asked to leave the ghetto."

"No doubt about it."

"Many residents have already given their consent"

"Right...... Well, I don't mind."

"Well, so am I."

"Me, too. Originally, I have no ambition for territory."

"Good. Then I have another favor to ask you."

"Do you still have it?

"I'd rather have you think about it than ask for it."

"Things you want me to think about?

"If you have the opportunity to get those people, elves, demonic slaves, illegal slaves, I want you to give them up to the Glades. I'm not saying it's just that. Buy a little color on the price you buy"

"... what are you thinking?

Those who do not know the true purpose of the Kamui cannot understand the meaning of Kamui's request. Everyone looks surprised.

"I don't admit illegal slavery"

"You mean to protect me?

"Will it?

"... taking over the Glades is that what it's all about"

"Come on?"

"But how far is the ghetto acceptable? Well, I don't know how many."

"If you can't do it in the Glades, pick it up in our territory. We have a lot of demons and elves."

"... isn't it dangerous?

"Now, when I say that, it is dangerous that Nort Ende exists. Besides, it was the Emperor who admitted that the Demons would live in the territory of the Empire."

"Right. Well, about that, it's a deal. Each, it's a good decision then, isn't it?

"Of course, there may be no money to buy."

"Hmm. Anything else?

"Later, we'll talk about the future. When the Glades come together and, to some extent, are on track, I also want you to think about talent exchange."

"I don't know again."

"The point is, dispatch of whores"

"What?"

"Demon and elf whores gather in the ghetto. So I can color code the ghetto from the outside. That's good, because a lot of customers find the slums expensive. Not the price, in the sense of security. Security will improve, but that's something you won't know until you visit. I want to trigger that."

"Hey, so this one's going to take customers, right?

"So I dispatch. That way, the guests who want to hold the Demons and the Elves will come to the whorehouse outside, right?

"Still this one's at a disadvantage."

"Because the favela will also be luxurious. In some cases, make stores that are higher than the outside."

"What?"

"We plan to gradually legalize it. All the stores."

"... Hmm. I mean, both this one and the Glades together make it one pleasant place."

"Yes. Earlier, I used the word quarantine only as a place to live. Except business."

"I'll talk to you a lot... but it's not bad."

"Well, I'd also like guidance around it. Because legal business is close to amateurs."

"It would be good. But we're still ahead of us."

"Yes."

"But you, were you thinking that far?

"I had to think about it. I didn't think you were going to tell me to keep hooking up."

"Hmm?"

"Many of those who were illegally enslaved thought they wanted liberation. But when I heard the story, I knew it wasn't."

"Wow. It's a strange thing to say that you do want to keep a whore going"

"Well, I was convinced to hear more about it. When you're free, there's no way to live. If it's going to be a safe place for the Glades to live, it's better to stay. Plus, when the whore was gone, they preached how the ghetto was going to do it."

No way to live is an excuse. The only thing left for the whores is to think about the whole ghetto. Better the Glades even at the expense of yourself. The whores showed such determination.

"Holy shit......, that's it"

"Without a doubt, the Glades come together. For the better."

"I guess."

"Well, like that"

"Is that a relief?

"Well, now there's nothing left to do in the Imperial Capital."

You're going back to your territory.

"Oh. Next, Nort Ende is my place of work. Well, there's more to it than that."

"Various?"

"Because I carried weird expectations. We have to meet that expectation."

"Imperial martial arts?

"It"

"Totally. I'm told you'll be the symbol of the next empire's martial arts. What's your concern with whores? Nobody would believe me if I told people this."

"If they talk to me, I'm in trouble?

"Talk. Our mouths are strong. Otherwise, we will not live in this world."

"That's right. In that sense, it's weird that we can trust the society behind us more."

"It's not necessarily that the table is just. That's what I'm saying."

"... right"

Not necessarily that the enemy is evil. It's one of the things Kamui learned in the Imperial Capital.

Enemies and allies, back and table. Things are not easy to describe in words. It's much more complicated.
