Maou No Utsuwa

Many students were gathered near the school gate.

At its center are the Kamuis. Today was the last day of school for the Kamui to leave the college as soon as possible.

After exchanging goodbye greetings with each student, the three headed over to Deefleet and Serene.

"Thanks for all your help"

"Welcome. Oh, is Kamui a better title now? Viscount Kreutz, thank you for your help."

Kamui officially inherited the Viscount Kreutz family. While I was a student, I was specifically admitted that it was useless to visit the Imperial Capital as soon as I returned to the Territory in order to receive an epistle. Naturally, there is special consideration for the work of Empress Sophilia and the emperor who received it.

"Please stop. It's like they're making fun of me."

"I'm not making a fool of myself. But, well, I'll let you do as you've always done."

"Yes, that would be better"

"When will I see you next?

"I don't know. I don't think you'll get a chance to visit the Imperial Capital."

"I don't work hard for that."

"Please. Oh, congratulations on your engagement......, may I say?

Kamui cut out the matter of Deefleet's engagement as he turned his gaze to Serene.

The glanced Serene seems to be one cup at a time about breaking up with the Kamuis, not even responding to Kamui's words, just leaning over and weeping.

"Well, you are. But officially, we're still ahead of us. I'll be studying at the Knights School in the next two years. And before that..."

"Right."

Deefilito has an official engagement ceremony with Princess Sophilia after graduating from the Knights School. And before that, the wedding of Prince Thales and Hildegand is also scheduled.

"Oh, you'll come then, won't you? It would be an invitation to Princess Sophilia, so there's no reason you're not coming, is there?

"Right. I'll see you then."

"Can't I see you for more than two years"

"It won't be long. Probably."

Kamui has a lot of work ahead of him if he returns to his territory. I'm a lord now. Even though my father will give me support for a while, I also wait for Kamui for a different job from that. Raise your reputation as a supporter of Princess Sophilia. Discussions on how to do this have already been concluded with both Princess Sophilia and Deefreet.

And Deefleet is Deefleet, and it should be a busy day. Deefleet must also make an effort to get him to recognize his abilities around him.

While studying at an advanced knight's school, there is much to do, including advising the Sophilia Empress, securing talented people, and interacting with other houses.

"Sele, don't cry, you have to say hello properly"

"... because"

Deefleet urges me, and Serene tries to say something, but my voice gets clogged and I can't say anything. In the end, I gave up on putting my feelings into words and hugged them to Kamui.

"Ka, kamui...... Oh, thank you..."

"Did you do something to thank me? But, hey, yeah. It's good to see Sere, too. Thanks."

"Ka, kamuyyyy!

Serene, who had been so impressed by Kamui's words, cried out loud as she embraced Kamui even harder. In front of Deefleet, he looked a little awkward, but Kamui also gently embraced Serene like that.

Even the students around me who saw how those two were doing and realized their breakup heard a sob.

Da-da-da-da-da-da.

Footsteps heard there. When Kamui turned her gaze on something, a girl wearing a blue robe was running with tremendous momentum.

"What?"

Seeing the girl, a surprising voice leaks from Kamui.

"Ugh!

The girl unleashed a flying kick as much as she wanted as the momentum she had rushed towards the Serene holding on to Kamui.

"Ahhh!

Not surprisingly, Serene rolling on the ground. Between that Serene and Kamui, the girl stood up with her hands wide open.

"The worms that wrap around Brother Kamui are not allowed by this Maria!

"Bugs? Bugs are about me?

"It is. Absolutely, this is what Maria does when she takes a little look away. It's a problem."

"Chi, hey, you, who is it?

"He asked me well! Maria is the wife of brother Kamui here!

"Yes, pardon my wife?!

"... make it a good addition or subtraction!

With his hands on his hips, an unrelenting Kamui fist bone is waved down on Maria's head, who said grandly. Maria held her head and nodded on the spot.

"Yes, it hurts."

"Who's the pardoned wife? Or what, Maria's here?

"It's..."

"Maria! It's terrible. I can't believe I threw my stuff and went first."

There it is again, a new figure. One man solidified himself in a pitch-black robe and smiled sarcastically somewhere. Two large pieces of luggage are carried on both shoulders.

"Ignaerts! Until you?

"Oh, Kamui! Long time no see! How have you been!?

"Oh, I'm fine. You're both here?

"Yes, the masters told me to spread the word when you guys get back because you'll be busy again."

"Right. But then, I wish you'd told me first."

I thought I'd scare you.

"That... that was a bit of a failure"

"Why?"

We're leaving tomorrow for the realm.

"... Shh?

"I'm not lying. Well, I thought I sent you plans."

"Huh?"

Hearing the words, Ignaz's gaze was directed at Alto.

"What the fuck? I sent it right."

"I haven't seen it?

"You misplaced it, didn't you? It takes months for it to arrive. Sometimes that happens."

"It's your job to do something about it, isn't it?

"That's coming. Well, I'm thinking of ways to improve it."

"I hope so?

"What is it, Temeye, how do you say that? Are you complaining?

"Ha, when it gets inconvenient, that's it right away. There's no progress."

"... well, you're selling fights, right?

"What if it was?"

The atmosphere between the two becomes something dangerous at once. Kamui is bitter looking at the two of them and wondering if seeing them for a long time won't change how unfriendly they are.

"Yes, sir. Long time no see, all of a sudden it's a fight? That's not progress."

And it's Lutz who goes between those two. It's been a long time for Lutz, too. Somehow, I happily took care of the two of them. In fact, for the Kamuis, it's a situation that makes them feel nostalgic.

"Kamui? What about these two?

"Maria is forgiven by brother Kamui......, it hurts"

To Serene's inquiry, Kamui's fist bones fall again on Maria, who tries to insist on forgiveness.

'Cause it's good enough.'

"Brother Kamui, it's terrible. I haven't seen you in a long time."

"... right. Long time no see, Maria. How you doin '?

Now, with both hands, Kamui strokes Maria's head around. It's rough, like my hair is going to be crunchy, but Maria is happily narrowing her eyes.

"I'm fine, so fine."

"Ha. As always, sweetie, Maria is."

"Huh. She said she was cute."

Maria proudly turns her gaze to Serene. Exactly when it got to this point, Serene seemed to have come to mind as well, demonstrating her natural strength of mind.

"Right. Your kids are cute."

"Children......"

"How many, my lady? You're so small, you used to come all the way to the Imperial City. Your sister will compliment you."

"It's mucky. Brother Kamui! My taste is too bad!

"A hobby, nothing. Cele..."

"Was this the only woman in the college? Now, after all, the seat of forgiveness belongs to Maria."

"So that's not what Cere is."

"Brother Kamui's daughter-in-law needs to be a nicer person. Right......, he's not here!

Looking lightly at the surroundings, Maria ran out of words.

"" "Become?!

Reacting to that were the female students of Kamui's fans. I was distracted by Maria, who suddenly appeared, but when I heard this, I had complained to Maria with my mouth.

"Hmm. Miscellaneous fish are noisy.... Ah!

The female students complained about Maria, who had often returned it with hatred, but all of a sudden, she pushed the female students away and ran away somewhere.

"... Hey, Kamui?

"Bad. You're a little floating. It's been a long time since the Imperial Capital."

"Is that floating?

"I think so."

"... well, fine. So in the end, what about you two?

"Oh, well. Maria and Ignatz. He's my subordinate and my sibling."

"Maybe?

"Yes. All five of them grew up in orphanages"

"Yes..."

In fact, Serene didn't have to ask. I knew. An unspeakable atmosphere that drifts between the Kamuis. That's something we never had to show at the academy.

Kamui twitches her fist bones fine on the girl. Behind Kamui, Alto still keeps talking with Ignaz. And Lutz, holding those two shoulders, laughing, nagging them. We don't show it to ourselves, we see no reluctance to the other.

This is the companionship for the Kamuis. Serene, and the students who knew the character of the Kamuis were reminded.

Deefleet opened his mouth as the atmosphere flowed somewhat awkward.

"Kamui."

"What is it?

"Both of you......, you know, strong?

"It's..."

"Brother Kamui!

Where Kamui tried to open his mouth, Maria's calling voice, which was going somewhere, sounded. Maria pulls the students apart and moves on.

"Brother Kamui! Praise Maria! Maria has found someone worthy of Brother Kamui's wife!

"" "Become?!

A surprising voice rises from the mouth of everyone on the spot, and of a female student who appeared drawn to Maria.

"Hilda......, No Dear Hildegand"

"Oh, you know?

"Excuse me, she said Maria, for my sister."

"Yes, you are. Suddenly they pulled my hand, so..."

"Maria......"

"Oh? Did Maria do something wrong? But Maria thinks this sister is perfect for Brother Kamui's wife."

"... no, that's"

"Hey, Maria. Why, do you think so?

Seeing how Kamui was stuck in words, Deefleet threw such a question at Maria, intending to fill in the air of the place.

"Your sister, she's beautiful. Maria wants to be like your sister in the future."

"Right. Right. Hildegand is beautiful."

"And"

"And do you still have it?

"Brother Kamui's wife wants him to be a strong man who can fight next to Brother Kamui."

"That's Hildegand?

"Because this sister is stronger than anyone else here. Except for the Marias."

"Except for Maria. What is it?

"Of course it is!

Maria, who clearly said she was stronger than Hildegand. That, as it were, is the answer to Deefleet's question to Kamui. The College's strongest, of course, is now the title of Kamui, but the other four are stronger than its Hildegand. Still, everyone on the spot, even if it's a good Marian word for a child, recognized it as a fact.

"Yes, Maria. Hey, come here."

"Oh? Alto, what are you doing? Maria is a little more, with this sister."

"Fine, read the air. You hungry bastard."

At some point Alto, who had come before, forcefully pulls Maria away from Hildegand.

As it is, Maria, surrounded by ruts and ignats, with her head stuck.

"Whoa! It's terrible! I'm against violence!

"You, use your head some more."

"That's right. Be proud of me like a child. Yeah, they say you can't do that, right?

"Because... It's already terrible, brothers!

"Hey, Kamui. Ah... Kamui Kreutz, is that good?

"That just fits. It's the usual."

"Yes, that's your subordinate. No, you're one of them, aren't you?

"Yes, he's one of those people I swore to live with."

Kamui and Hildegand started a conversation. Looking at the two of them, the students around them, they take the distance. The two things are public secrets to many of the students at the college. We all know that the relationship between the two has been lost since the swordsmanship tournament, and why the students are dropping us off.

"I heard today was the last time"

Hildegand, who realizes it, starts to talk about what he really wants to talk about, thanking him for his care.

"Yes. The departure is tomorrow. Did you come to see me off?

"Yeah. I really thought Maria would find me."

"Because I have to thank Maria."

"... so am I."

"I'm glad we had the last chance to talk. I can see you..."

"Um!"

"Yes, sir"

"I need a favor."

"What is it?

"Time…"

"Time?"

"Could you please take some time later?

"It's..."

"I'll wait where the two of us first talked. Today, by any hour, I'll be waiting."

Speaking of it all at once, Hildegand left the scene without even hearing Kamui's reply. Kamui dropping off that back.

"Huh, had you already spit on it? That's my brother Kamui."

"Ma li a"

"Hey, what is it?

"Thank God. Bring me Hilda."

"Whoa. It's cheap."

Again, after a farewell greeting from the students who came to drop me off, the five of them headed to the school gate.

But they weren't the only ones who dropped him off. Two boys were waiting for them when they left the school gate.

"Mr. Mathias, and even Mr. Rank"

"Hey, I was actually going to refrain from dropping you off. Luckily for Hildegand, it was that one."

Like Hildegard, they were going to drop him off from the shadows, but luckily Hildegand was pulled by Maria, and this is how he came out.

"Really? Glad to hear it. I don't know what..., thanks for your help"

"You didn't take care of me. This is the one to thank."

"Thank you? That's why I didn't do anything."

"You have taught me how much I am. I appreciate that."

"What's that?

"You can't be on Hildegand's side right now. I have to work harder to be the person I deserve to stand next to that one. I knew you, and I thought so."

"Really? Good luck. Mr. Mathias can be sure. Maybe it's not what I'm saying."

"No, I'm glad you said that."

"Uh, Mr. Rank, too"

For Kamui, the drop off of the rank was surprising. It's a relationship I can't say I was close to.

"Oh, well, yeah"

"Rank. You should talk properly. This may be the last time we can talk."

"... right. I hardly had a chance to talk to Kamui"

"Right."

But I respect you.

"Yes?"

This statement is too surprising. I don't remember Kamui doing anything respectable.

"When I saw you at the swordsmanship tournament, I thought, You're the ideal I should be chasing. I don't know if it will arrive. Probably won't arrive. Still, I made up my mind to keep after you."

"... Yes"

"If you stand in front of Master Hildegand, I stand in front of you, even if I know you're no match. At that time, I want you to fight as hard as you can. That's what I want. And for that matter, I'll keep going after you."

"Yes."

It's a hostile statement, but when I'm so clean, Kamui feels happy the other way around. Even if it is an enemy, Kamui thinks it is a happy thing to think it is acknowledged.

"If you are Master Hildegand's... No, that's all I want to tell you."

"... maybe that's not what I'm saying."

Kamui understands what he wanted to say about the rank he stopped along the way. That's why Kamui can put this in his mouth too.

"Dear Hildegand, Support you both."

"Oh. I promise."

"Of course."

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

After finishing his greeting with the two of them, Kamui kept his mouth shut, still thinking of something. The way it is, the four minds that have been floating around for a long time in reunion also chill slightly.

Ignaerts asked the neighboring Lutz in a whisper so that Kamui walking in front wouldn't notice.

"What about the two of you earlier?

"Of the female students that Maria brought, well, you're under her command. Maria brought in Lady Hildegand of the Oriental Uncle Family. They are the children of a subordinate nobleman of the Oriental House."

"What's that?

"Yes, we are the political enemies of Princess Sophilia and Deefreet."

"An enemy. He seemed like a nice bunch of guys, though, right?

Ignaerts deliberately looks at Alto sideways.

"Hey, stop the habit of looking at me when you complain."

"Lutz is not in charge of the political ploy. It's your share, isn't it?

"... enemies are evil, allies are good. The world isn't that easy."

Not only Kamui, but Alto and Lutz were reminded in the royal capital that the world was not simple.

"What's the relationship between that female student and Kamui?

"Don't make me say that out of my mouth. Even I have feelings for people."

"That's the thing. Again..., you're in trouble."

Kamui can be ruthless. But Ignaerts knows it's only for those who admit it. Ignaerts was worried that Hildegand would be an obstacle to future action.

Alto opened his mouth again, trying to dispel that Ignaz worry.

"I'm fine with that. We both know where we stand. But even if I know, I can't help it. I have feelings. That's not how you do it around you."

"Oh, are you a little grown up?

"I get more and more grumpy when they say that. For the convenience of adults, the order set by adults will separate them. I don't know if I've become an adult."

"Proof that you think so is approaching adulthood."

"... right. If they say so, maybe so."

"You just have to smash that up!

"" "Maria?

"What stupid adults make is if we smash it up. And you just have to make it again. Something better."

Maria's words blew out the feelings of everyone who was about to convince me somehow. Alto, who figured it out, starts stroking Maria's head with a bitter laugh.

"... you're grown up. I can't believe Maria said these words."

"Are you making fun of Maria?

"I'm praising you. Right. You want me to smash it?

"Whoa, good, that"

The first person to come on board was Lutz. There's something about Lutz that makes me feel like Lutz.

"Well, I'll give you an alto ride about that, too."

Ignaerts follows suit.

"So what do you smash it from?

"Right. Because it's how you get rid of Master Hildegand."

"Defeat the Empire?

Lutz returned a hell of a statement to Alto's words. This is all that comes to Lutz's head if he's going to expose Hildegand, who will marry the royal family.

"Suddenly you can't do that, can you?

Ignaerts has just denied it. But it's only ”suddenly” impossible.

"So, where are you from?

"Hey. You hear that?

"" "" Ah!

How dare you not sound like Kamui. It was the four of us who totally forgot.

"It's good to talk about it as a story, but in reality, there are no dream stories. In the meantime, you know how to focus on the tunnel?

"" "" Of course (it is)!

"Depending on that power, what you can do changes. That's what I'm saying."

"Oh?"

Alto has a meaningful grin when he hears Kamui's words.

"What is it?

"I mean, if you help me, you'll get Master Hildegand?

"Then don't be silly. You didn't say that, did you?

"Okay, so that's our ultimate goal. Get Kamui's wife"

"Whoa, you're making your sister brother Kamui's daughter-in-law. Maria works hard."

"All right, I guess I'll do my best too"

"Me, too. That guy is nice inside. Is it good to think you're my sister-in-law?

"... say it yourself"

Even if it's a dream story, if it's for Kamui, it's what the four of us should do to get to it. Now it is still a goal that we cannot even see the slightest possibility, but in the minds of the four of us it was to be engraved as the most important thing.
