Maou No Utsuwa

Continue along the mountain path that leads from the southern fort, eventually to the plains. From there, after a short distance, you reach Nortwagh, where the Lordship Hall is located. Kamui's itinerary is over.

It would normally take a week, the Kamuis who rushed through the itinerary in just four days, but still the masters are unhappy.

"Absolutely not."

"Shh, excuse me"

Mito is frightened by a cold gaze from Aur.

"That's not sloppy. What have you been doing?

"Whatever they say..."

Next to it, Dewright is turned from Silver.

Ever since we joined, it's been like this between the two of us. There's no way the two of us who've never worked out for Locke can keep up with the Kamuis. Running, falling, resting on the carriage, being forced to run, repeating that all the time, got here.

"Well, you don't have a choice, do you? We're like this at first."

Kamui puts in a follow up, but still the masters' novels don't stop.

"The Lord says oh, but that's not true, is it?

"Yes, sir"

"Are you seriously willing to serve the Lord in the first place? Since I don't seem to have any training experience, I can give up a hundred steps and forgive my lack of strength, but I can't feel the temper from you to crawl and follow the Lord."

"Shh, excuse me"

Mito being beaten all the time by Aur at this rate. The same goes for my physical strength, but I'm also quite pushed mentally.

"Hmm, let's see how we serve the Lord if we don't see growth in the future."

"Wow, I'll do my best! So forgive me for serving Master Kamui!

I came with Kamui because of this, but I can't let him throw me out here. Mito desperately au

I appealed to Le.

"I admit to serving. With the Lord's forgiveness."

"So?"

"If you can't use it in a martial arts, serve it in color, but good"

"Color, is it?

Wu understands. But I didn't know what color meant.

"I am the opponent of the Lord's Night Game."

"" "Ha!?

Surprising voices echo from all around at the same time at Aur's words, which I do not even think about.

"The Lord has also welcomed adults, so in the future, we will need them, too, right?

"Yes, I don't like it, you need to be concerned about that. And Mito didn't follow me with that promise."

"Disgruntled?

Even though he received the word of denial from Kamui, Aur asked Mito even more.

"I try to serve Master Kamui as an intermediate...... But that's not bad either... Oh, I can't believe I serve you both..."

It was a less than full mite.

"Chi, hey, Mito! What are you going to say?!

It was Rutz who was in a hurry for it. He called out to Mito in a panic.

"But it is the duty of the minister to offer his body and mind to the Lord"

"Body and mind............"

With the paranoia that came to mind, Lutz lost his word.

"Hey, that was a short love"

"You didn't have time to have fun."

To Lutz, who has fallen into disappointment. Alto and Ignaz to strike the chase. Rutz doesn't seem to have the nerve to complain about it either. You felt sorry for Lutz like that, and Kamui hung his words against Mito.

"Mito. You know, I don't think that's the same as dedicating myself as a subordinate?

"But if there's no other art to serve,"

"Because I haven't decided yet. We're going to be working out, right?

"Yes."

"Mito has an important job as a liaison with Dark. Don't imitate me like I'm suddenly giving up, I have to try to convince Aur."

"... it was. I'll do my best!

The spirit of Mito, who was exhausted, was revived with Kamui's hard-working words. This doesn't comfort Lutz.

"So, Aur, can you look at it a little longer?

"Yes, if the Lord wants it"

"Hmm?"

The light acceptance of Aur created confusion in Kamui by rejecting it. It is Aur who will not allow compromise on matters involving Kamui.

"I won't be judging in just four days."

"... you tried?

"Yes, let me take the simplest way to test a woman's loyalty"

"That's a bad taste."

On top of my bad taste, it's a pretty tough try. Because Mito had a strong admiration for Kamui, there are usually no women who offer their bodies solely for loyalty as ministers.

"But I got the best answer"

"Is it the best?

"Mito wanted not only to be spoiled, but also to be of service to the Lord in his other work"

"... well, good for you anyway, Mito. Sounds like a pass."

The fact that he called his name more than whether or not the content of the explanation represented Aur's appreciation of the mite. It's good to say that it's quite highly regarded.

"Pass, is it?

"Well, for that matter, I think the workouts will be tougher"

"but I'll do my best"

Harsher workouts than this are unimaginable to Mito.

"Oh, come on"

"Well, Lord. Your father will be waiting for you. We'll say goodbye once we're around here."

"Oh."

"Mito will take you. I don't want to waste any time."

"... I don't mind"

A little worried and Kamui said yes. From now on, the workout is pathetic, but because I thought it would be good for Mito to be recognized as serving a little sooner.

"Bye. Mito, follow me."

"What, but"

"The Lord will now have an interview with your father and those under his ministry. We must be careful that we are present there."

"Yes."

"Neither do you. Follow me."

Silvere also turns to Deelight and urges them to follow us.

"Me too?

"I don't have time to waste on you either. You can't help but hear the hard talk about it, can you?

"... Yes"

"Bye, Kamui. See you later."

"Oh."

The Aurs take the two Mito and Deelight and leave the spot. The Lutz are starting to connect their horses to the freight train and get ready to move.

As soon as the preparations were complete, the Kamuis proceeded towards the Lords' Palace.

"Hey, Mr. Dewright, where did they take you?

From the top of your podium, Otto asked Kamui a little worried.

"Where the masters live. Don't worry, it's in the city."

"Yes. You can't accompany me, can you?

"People are all over the Lordship Hall."

"Eh."

There is also discrimination against the Fae in Nort Ende. Otto, who knew the Kamuis, felt surprised.

"His father's subordinates are those sent by the Empire. Its role is not only to govern the territory, but also to monitor the demonic tribe. Some of them don't think well of the Demons."

"You know what?"

"Even if we say coexistence, not all rights are recognized by the Demons. The Demons cannot participate in the consular government."

"But Kamui admits he's subordinate, right?

"That's sharp. That's..., I'll explain later"

"Yeah, I got it."

Seeing that Kamui's face was slightly more dangerous, Otto assumed that there was something complicated. I know its contents somehow.

It was Otto who felt a little bitter about the atmosphere of Kamui not trying to talk about anything with his mouth shut exactly, but on the other hand, he was also pleased with Kamui's words, which he said he would explain.

Eventually, compared to the surroundings, I could see a large building at an international level.

"Oh, there's a welcome."

Seeing several men lined up in front of the building, Alto muttered with a mouthful that seemed unexpected.

"Right."

Kamui also agrees with the grunt. Otto is the only one who doesn't know what's going on. Everyone else has a slightly surprised or blatantly unpleasant face, just like Alto.

"Welcome home. Lord."

One man came in looking completely unintentional about how those Kamuis were doing.

This is Thebes, who runs the house of the Viscount Kreutz. Kamui gets confused by that polite response.

"Ah, oh. Long time no see, Mr. Tevez."

"Dear Kamui, Kamui is already the head of the Viscount Kreutz family. I don't need a nickname."

"Even if they suddenly say so"

There are circumstances that Kamui doesn't want to abandon.

"Well, you can get used to the chase."

"Oh, okay"

"Well, I know you're tired, but I look forward to your hiding. Say hello to your homecoming."

"Hiding?

"It's your father."

"I know that, but suddenly you're hiding?

Kamui's adoptive father, the former Viscount of Kreutz, is not old enough to be called hiding.

"That's what I've come to call you."

"You're switching fast. So, what about your father?

Regardless of age, Kamui received an indication of willingness not to speak to the consular government anymore.

"Please wait in your own room"

"Okay."

"The carriage will be kept here. Would you like the luggage on it?

"Keep it up"

"I understand. Your carriage."

"Yes!"

My youngest man reacted even to Thebes' instructions and came forward. Sitting in your podium on Otto's behalf, he takes his horse and moves the carriage in the back.

In the meantime, Tevez was moving to the entrance to the hall to open the front door.

"Well then..., go"

"Oh, oh."

Look at that, more and more, the camuits who can't hide the confusing colors. Into the hall, where Thebes and the others left off, Rutz opened his mouth, not surprisingly.

"That, what? Are you up to something?

"Come on?"

"Doesn't that mean you've become a lord? It's like that old man, the way he splits up."

Alto has told me his predictions. Kamui is also convinced.

"Well, I guess that's the best I can think of"

"Well, that's a lot to say."

Otto doesn't understand the meaning of the conversation between the Kamuis. It just sounds like you're saying bad things to Thebes.

"That grandfather hates us. I've been complaining every time."

"Why?"

Although adopted, Kamui is heir. Otto doesn't know how Tevez feels complaining about that Kamui.

"We're too close to the Demons. I don't think you like that."

"Oh well"

"Well, that means I'm loyal to my role, so it's hard to complain."

"Kamui is great. I'm so blind."

Lutz looks really impressed with what Kamui said. But take this early.

"But if you don't, your anger won't heal."

"I can tell you that."

"Look, I'm done talking. We're in a room."

While we were talking about this, we were getting to the room where we wanted to be.

"Oh, what about me?

"Otto be present, too. I want to introduce you, and I don't know how far you're going to go, but you better know what's going on."

"Okay, I get it."

As he climbed in front of the door of the room, Kamui knocked lightly and hung up.

"It's Kamui! Are you sure!?

"Oh, here we are! Get in!"

"Excuse me."

Open the door, Kamui entering the room. The Lutz continue behind it. Inside were men and women sitting on the couch and relaxing. Kamui's adoptive parents, the former Viscounts of Kreutz.

"Father, Mother, I'm home."

"Oh, safe return, more than anything."

"Welcome home, Kamui"

Kamui's feelings are a little complicated when she sees her father and mother laughing happily. My parents, who haven't seen each other in a long time, were old enough compared to three years ago. I don't even feel uncomfortable with the way you call it hiding.

"Thank you, Lutz and Alto."

"" Yes ""

The former Viscount of Kreutz calls me to reply, looking like Lutz and Alto were in awe. For both of us, the former Viscounts of Kreutz took their place. Especially Alto, the only one who shows sweetness.

"Heh heh, everybody, you look good. Have you grown up a little?

"Really? We don't know for ourselves."

"We're all grown up. Come on, sit down without standing. I'll make you some tea now."

"Yes. Oh, before I do, I'll introduce you to a friend"

"Hmm?" "Oh?

For the first time in a long time, a full smile spreads a surprising color on my parents' faces. He didn't think it would happen, though he had hoped that the human being Kamui called his friend would show up.

"I was a classmate at the college. We're about to start doing business now."

"Um, you're the person in the letter."

"Yes."

The former Viscount Kreutz found out who Otto was. Kamui tells the story of the Imperial City in a fine letter. Of course, not everything.

"Lord Otto, Kamui has taken care of you. Thanks."

"No, I'm the one who took care of you. Thanks to Kamui for keeping me safe."

"Really?

"Yes."

"Well, I'll go after the details of the area. Because when you talk, it gets longer."

This is an excuse. It's harder to talk about fraudulent behavior than it is to be longer.

"Right. You don't have to. There's a lot to talk about."

The former Viscount Kreutz has changed the expression he had until recently.

"Eh?

"Doesn't it seem to have been flashy in the Imperial Capital?

"I think I'm telling you about that in a letter?

"I'm sure the letter from you only contains an outline. Well, there are some parts of the content that just can't help it."

"Well."

There's no way you can write about what kind of move you're making in the battle for succession to the crown prince position. There is no guarantee that the Empire will not see the contents while we are carrying them.

"Absolutely. You surprised me a lot."

"So much?"

The events in the Wang capital are not all surprising but, as the former Viscount Kreutz himself said, the letter does not contain any details.

It was unexpected for Kamui to be told his thoughts so far.

"I have received far more letters than I have received since the last few months of my visit to the land."

"That's from outside of me, isn't it?

I don't remember Kamui sending me letters that often.

"Oh, yeah. Besides, they kept their eyes open until Tevez."

"... by the way, who is that from?

Finally, Kamui knows what's going on. Until someone else taught me more than I told you.

"Let's start with His Majesty the Emperor"

"Ha!?

Exactly. This is unexpected for Kamui as well.

"You didn't know?

"Yes."

"The content is to thank you for defending the pride of the Empire's martial arts after being praised for your work in a swordsmanship battle against the Kingdom. It's a thank you note from His Majesty. Enough to be rewarded and accepted. No wonder Thebes is surprised."

In fact, the letter of sentiment is one of the prizes. In aristocratic houses that have no ties to the prize, some have made the emotional letters they received in the past a family heirloom.

"I see. What else?

Kamui understood that this was the reason for Tevez's change in attitude.

"The chief of the Imperial Knights has told me to join the Knights without returning them to their territory"

"Um, Dad. I didn't know you were turning your hands around to your parents' house."

The Knights Commander has also persevered in soliciting Kamui himself. Kamui had a hard time shaking it off.

"greetings from some borderline lords that they want to bond"

"Oh, oh."

This is well known to Kamui as well. I've been working a lot for this.

"And"

"Do you still have it?

"Oh, it's from the Oriental House"

"Shh!? What the hell?

Though I don't think so, Kamui's mind is blurry to a great extent.

"It is an invitation to become a subordinate nobleman of the Oriental House. From the location of the territory, it was written that it might be desirable for our home."

"... that's a threat"

I was pretty horny to find out I wasn't talking about Hildegand.

"There's something close to it."

"And you're responding fast. Any reply, by the way?

"I appreciate the invitation, but our house was immediately deposited with His Majesty the Emperor earlier. I gave it back to the Emperor that I could not do it without his permission."

"Oh, that's a good reason"

Say no in the name of the first emperor. The outing, the former Viscount Kreutz, is also ingenious.

"Well, it's true. This is from the rest of Uncle's house, and I'm just going to give you the same answer."

"Yes."

"There's more."

"Not yet?"

"It has also arrived from His Royal Highness Prince Therese"

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?

For Kamui, the surprise is greater than a letter from His Majesty the Emperor.

"Just two lines. If you change your mind, offer me anytime. Even if not, I keep my promises. That's all. Non has no idea what that means."

"Do you keep your promises,"

"Do you have any idea?

"Yes......"

I want you to take care of Hildegand. It embarrasses me when I recall words I have spoken to Prince Therese that I am not in a position to say.

"Hmm, right"

Yes, with that said, Kamui doesn't try to put its contents in his mouth. The former Viscount Kreutz changed his story thinking that he could not hear any more.

"The reactions around and the reports from you are roughly consistent. I'm overreacting."

"Yes."

"Aren't we in a bit of a hurry?

Involving the writ is what happened to students before they officially succeeded to the Viscount Kreutz family. Besides, the former Viscount Kreutz wonders just how involved it is with His Majesty the Emperor.

"That, I feel. I didn't mean to rush it, but I reacted faster than I expected around. There were some unexpected things."

"Right...... So what are you gonna do?

"I asked Her Royal Highness Princess Sophilia not to rush too much. Tell him it's still time to build up his strength."

"Hmm. Well, is that all you got? The reactions around me, in a way, have no choice. I was just worried you might be running wild yourself."

"I don't think so myself."

I may just be unconscious.

"I hope so. But I need to tell you another story."

"Hey, you, you just got back, and you sound pathetic with all your novels."

Floria, the former Viscount of Kreutz, worried about Kamui showing her depressed condition, has pinched her mouth.

"You should do this at once. And that's what I have to say before I talk to Thebes."

"But"

Some of Floria's minds want to have more fun stories with the Kamuis.

"Mother, you may. Father is right. One scolding would be better for me."

"If Kamui is good, I don't mind..."

Kamui tells me Floria has to put up with it too.

"Hey, I'm not scolding you for anything. I just want to tell you how I feel."

"Ah, yes."

"Before that. Is Lord Otto good?

"What, me?

Otto was surprised when he suddenly gave his name. Looking at that otto, Kamui answered the question.

"No problem. I was going to tell Otto everything."

"Right. You were introduced to a friend."

"Yes."

"Okay, let's talk. You succeeded Viscount Kreutz. I want you to think about what that means."

"Does that make sense?

Kamui intends to fully understand the special nature of Northende. I didn't know what the former Viscount Kreutz was about to talk about again.

"It means that the people of Nort-Ende are not the only demons and elves. The people will also be the people you should protect, and your subjects."

"... Yes"

For the Demons and the Elves. Indeed, in Kamui, all this thought is strong.

"Honestly, Noon got lost about giving you the status of lord. But I thought it was your mission to become lord that His Majesty had entrusted to him. You... Lord Otto."

"Yes?

Otto, who was called by name in the middle of the story, was also astonished.

"You haven't heard anything about Kamui's identity yet, have you?

"Yes. But..., somehow I'm going to know"

"What? Can you tell me that?

"Ma'am, I thought you were the Demon King."

Slightly shaking his words, Otto said what he had been thinking.

"Huh?" "Lie?" "Heh?

To the words that came out of Otto's mouth, the Kamuis simultaneously raised their surprises. No one thought Otto was aware of this fact.

"When did you realize that?

"I knew you did, didn't I? I realized I was on my way through the fort to get here."

Otto figured out that his thoughts were right in the previous Viscount Kreutz inquiry.

"Otto, why did you notice? Because Aur called you king?

Hear Otto's explanation and now ask why Kamui noticed Otto.

"That's what triggered it. It's Mr. Sten I'm sure of."

"Sten's? What did Sten tell you?

"I'm the one who has to be. Think that's what we call demons. I only know of demons who can obey them."

"Shit. I have to tell Sten."

I didn't expect Kamui to guess from this place.

"You're the Demon King, aren't you?

"Can I say Demon King?

"No?

"No, I can't even say it's not. Well, the Demon King."

Kamui's father was also called the Demon King, but this is the name that was conceived by the people, and rightly not the King of the Demons. However, thinking it would be longer to explain this, Kamui once decided to accept the name Demon King.

"Can I ask you one thing?

"What?"

"How do you get to the Demon King? Kamui was originally an Imperial nobleman, wasn't he? I don't see how that Kamui was recognized as the Demon King by the Demons."

Kamui is a human race, so Otto doesn't know why he can be the Demon King.

"Oh, well. That's because I was chosen."

"Chosen. Is that for Mr. Aur?

The atmosphere released by Aur was convincing even when Aur was said to be king, queen. Otto thinks he's in a high place among the Demons.

"No, I was chosen by the sword."

"Sword?"

"The Demons have one promise that has long been passed down. When the demons were in danger of annihilation, they suddenly appeared and saved the demons, as one demon king had ordained."

"Promise. What's that?

"Whoever is recognised by Kamui the Devil's Sword, whoever it is, the Devil shall obey"

The ancient covenant of the devil tribe. Kamui taught Otto this.

"Demon Sword Kamui. Same name?

"Yes. I don't think it's a coincidence. Perhaps my biological parents took it and gave it a name."

"Uh, Master Sophia gave you a name from the Devil's Sword?

Otto only knows his mother Sophia about Kamui's parents.

"I have to tell you one more thing. My father is apparently the previous demon king."

"Ugh, lie!?

This means that Kamui is half Demonic. Different surprises spread to Otto's mind from knowing he was the Demon King.

"No, I don't know if it's true either, but it seems so from what I've heard"

"Chi, wait a minute? Master Sophia went on a demon king crusade with the brave, didn't she? That Sophia lady..., eh?

"Don't imagine me being weird. I'm not forced to. As a result of proper love."

Thinking about what Otto imagined, Kamui looked bitter and denied it. If people listen, they mostly think the same thing. That's what Kamui regrets.

"Yes. That's good"

"It is true that my mother was a prisoner. But it sounds like you've been pretty sweet to me."

"Why?"

"What guy is love at first sight?

"Yes? That's the Demon King, no, Kamui's father?

Love at first sight with the Demon King. It was a very uncomfortable combination in Otto.

"It seems so. Father, who fell in love with her mother at first sight, said she tried so hard to dictate her mother. My parents were tied together because of his efforts."

"The image of the demon king..."

The Demon King tries so hard to dictate a woman. Again, this doesn't come to mind.

"Even His Majesty the Emperor likes people. It's not weird that the Demon King likes people, is it?

It's funny, though, that those two fell in love with both, Kamui's mother.

"Yes, but since I was a little girl, I've had a planted image."

"That's a discretionary image made by people. You want me to tell you more? The demon king who made the sword promise is not a demon tribe. They were otherworldly."

"What!? That's a legendary brave man, isn't it? A brave man is the demon king?

A brave man summoned from different worlds, whose existence is, as words say, turned into a legend. It was a long time ago, when no one in the people knew the truth.

"Well, he seemed to have a lot on his brave side. That's what brave men and demon kings are for in the first place. I'm just a little bit powerful, and it doesn't make a difference to be a person. Normally you like people, and sometimes you resent them if they betray you."

"Something's getting confusing in my head"

The image of the demon king and the brave man is making noises and breaking down in the otto.

"Well, to make the story easier to understand, I was recognized by the sword anyway. And when they found out, the Aurs chose to obey me."

"That's why you were adopted by the Viscount Kreutz, isn't it?

"No, it's not. After I was adopted, I found that out."

It was not until Kamui came to Nort Ende that he was reunited with Aur. I also learned my secrets. It was all taught by Aur.

That's what I'm talking about.

"You feel destined, don't you? Honestly, when they told me this story, I panicked, too, and I didn't think it was a joke. You're the demon king's son, and you're the demon king yourself? I don't know how little resistance there was to the Demon Clan, but the Demon King did."

"I guess."

The Demon King is the enemy of all nations. This is what everyone is being heard if they are a human race, and Kamui was no exception.

"But well, I decided to admit that this is fate too. Fate or mission. When I did, I could see clearly what I needed to do."

"Oh well. Is that why Kamui is not like us?"

"Well, because I'm the Demon King"

"It doesn't, it means it's different what you're carrying. This is the kind of place where you think you're no match for Kamui."

"Otto, why do you say this kind of embarrassment from time to time?

When Kamui can really light up, this is how he always comes to tear up. It's Kamui's attitude that Otto has seen over and over again.

"It's good to hear from you. Especially when it comes to Kamui's parents. Thanks to you, I felt familiar with the Demon King at once."

"I don't know about that, but, well, was it good?

"Hmm. Do you ever just call me a friend? But not all people can be like Lord Otto. Don't forget that."

The face of the former Viscount Kreutz is cordial, even as he speaks harsh words. I can't wait to feel that Otto is truthful and Kamui's friend.

"Yes."

"That's what Non wants to say. You are not the leader of the Demon Nation, and you have become the lord of those who hostile the Demon Nation. It was a more difficult position than ever. You can't just think about the interests of the Demons. Sometimes we have to give priority to the people, even if we forsake our feelings for the demons."

"... Yes"

There was another heavy load on Kamui's back. This can't be helped anymore. With this fate, Kamui was born.

"I hope you don't forget that. And one more thing. This is the last of Non's life."

"What is it?

"Do not imitate the empire, no, like destroy the royal family. I don't want the Emperor to imitate anything against his grace."

"Yes, royalty, you can't promise to be loyal to everything already. Might even imitate a little against it. But as the sons of two fathers, I promise you that only the last line will never be crossed."

"Right. As the son of two fathers? You knew."

"Before I went to the Imperial Capital, Aur taught me. His Majesty the Emperor earlier said he could be called a benefactor to the Demons."

There is a relationship between an emperor and a former demon king with little to no knowledge. Kamui was told that by Aur.

"Mm-hmm. That's good. Then Noon can rely on you. [M] Make yourself at home. You're the lord of Northende now."

"Yes, let me do that"

"Well, that's all I have to say about being a former lord."

"Oh, over? Hey, you're tired."

"What?"

Otto surprises Kamui for changing his attitude. But the only thing that surprises me is Otto, who doesn't seem to think of anything else, turning everyone into a relaxed atmosphere.

"Oh, take it easy on Otto. Because my parents don't like to be tough."

"No, but not too extreme?

Otto was a little touched by the story Kamui and his adoptive father told earlier. Suddenly this feels ruined strongly.

"Really? But if you can't switch like this, you can't live on this land."

"Kamui is right. If you leave the city for a moment, you'll be attacked by a hell of a warcraft. Such a tough land. You'd better remember to switch between when you're nervous and when it's easier."

"Ha."

"Well, Otto is serious. Love people, too. Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you. Because Otto is married. It's also with a cute elf."

"Kamui!"

"Fact."

"No, that's Kamui..."

Kamui is in front of me the same as when I was in college. That's what I thought. A grin spread on Otto's face.

"What?"

"No, I thought my friend was the Demon King."

"Isn't that amazing? I don't have any friends like this."

"Well, that's true."

It was clear that Kamui was the Demon King. Even if you figure that out, Kamui is still Kamui. Whether you are the Demon King or half the Demon Nation, you are no different to the Kamui you know. It's natural, but Otto was not happy that this seemed to happen.

I am a friend of Kamui. I was a little confident Otto.
