Maou No Utsuwa

The day after dawn of the night.

From the previous day's story, for Prince Thales, who thought it was only a few days away that he could meet with Kamui, an unexpected opportunity came to reunite with Kamui.

I'm not very much in a situation where I can talk to you carefully.

"No, it's a battle!

If I came to look at the noise outside, one man stood with his sword in front of Kamui. It's Ralph.

"You know, I've told you many times, there's no way you're gonna be able to win there for a week, is there?

Kamui complains about the look of the ralph. I just showed up a week ago. Naturally, it is Kamui's overthrow.

"Well, it's still a battle!

"Mr. Tiana, brother, can you do something about it?

Ralph himself is unlikely to listen, so I asked his sister Tiana to stop him. I know this is no use either.

"Ralph, come on. Master Kamui is annoying."

"Meh, annoying."

"Master Kamui is busy. I don't have time for Ralph."

"Oh, you...... Since when do you have the Demon King's shoulder!?

"Since when? It's been a long time."

"Well, you're in love!?

…………

To Ralph's inquiry, Tiana dyes her face red and leans down.

"Hit it, deny it!

"Because..., hey"

"You bitch! How dare you poke my sister! I won't allow it, it's a battle!

"Because that's rude to Mr. Tiana. You gotta be kidding me, right? You're making fun of me."

"... what, right? So is that."

"Already, dull!

"What? What?

"It's not Ralph!

It's almost a routine exchange.

"Oh, what's that?

Prince Thales, who noticed someone standing behind him, asked his opponent.

"Ralph if you're a man. You're the son of a former brave man. If you're a woman, this is her sister, Tiana."

"What, before, yu, of the brave?

"They said they knew each other in the church capital. I hear you were looking to be a brave man with a courageous selection ritual."

"Damn, that's, uh, why?

"Seeing the strength of Kamui, he seemed to regret it"

"Hmm?"

When Prince Thales panicked and looked back when he realized that he was not alone when he called him Kamui, there stood a known figure.

He's not supposed to be here.

"Whoa, you!?

"Nice to meet you, His Royal Highness Prince Therese. My name is Flyheit."

"Ha, first time, nice to meet you?

It's the first name I've heard of it, but there's no reason to see it. The person in front of you is Deefleet.

"Am I mistaken for someone? My name is Flyheit, as I just said."

"... so you threw away your first name?

I don't know what you're talking about.

"So, why are you here?

Pursuing a pseudonym won't keep us talking. Prince Therese changed the question.

"I asked him to help where the thugs attacked me on my journey."

"Ka, to Kamui?

"No, to the tyrant who attacked me"

"... Him, the poor, the shitty, the city"

"The answer to that question is still, come on? Yes."

"Oh well. Just, is the journey, yes, good?

Deefreet said it was a trip. It shows that he left the King's Capital himself. If that's the case, then there's got to be a purpose to do it.

"It's not a quick journey. And I thought I'd think about the purpose of my journey again."

"Why?"

"I was apparently halfway there. Even though I rebelled against my parents' house, it became my parents' talk. I was going to be ready, but in the end, I wasn't. So that's what happened."

"... oh well"

Abstract words, but I know what you're saying to Prince Therese.

"I could never drag my thoughts on someone who was gone and because I was acting halfway through it, I couldn't protect the person I was supposed to protect.... I'm sorry"

"No...... But, hey, don't you, uh, get lost?

I know who Deefleet was pulling his feelings from, Prince Therese. Now I know the purpose of the journey.

"That's what I thought...... After all, I was wondering if that was an escape, too."

"To, escape, what?

"I tried to escape from a responsible position using the excuse that I had to help. That's what they said."

"Hmm."

"Besides, I just have to, I don't care what I want to do,"

"... so?

"If you look at the Kamuis, I thought you'd know a little. Instead, I don't know anymore."

"Oh, really?

"The Kamuis, like I thought, are not doing what they want, but carrying things around and acting with a sense of responsibility to it"

"... Oh, yeah?

The Kamuis are happy to do what they have to do. That's all.

"If you are going to act as you wish, Kamui is not standing still here. I think so. [M] You abandoned your inheritance and you're here, right?

"... idiot"

"Oh? Could that be what it was all about? If so, that was a little sweet. Kamui is blunt and stubborn."

…………

"You tell people not to be perceived in a position, you're the one who is most perceived. Eliminate all personal matters and be thorough with public officials. That's what you see when you're free."

"Oh, yeah, maybe, and maybe."

Prince Therese also wants to throw away what he was carrying and be free. There are many parts I can empathize with.

"What will you do? Will it remain hidden, or will it, again, be on the surface stage?"

"Whoa, on the table, whoa, out, I'm not"

"Really? But."

"I don't have time."

"Time?"

"No, no."

"... Really?"

Knowing that he was unwilling to speak any further to Prince Therese, Deefreet stopped asking questions. Two people who can't grasp the trigger of the next conversation and often shut up. A new voice has been added there.

"Oh, this is a rare sight. You can't see Dee and His Royal Highness Prince Therese talking side by side in the Imperial Capital."

"Alto! Are you back?

"Sort of. It's the Prince's fault, too. Absolutely, they'll do it. I never thought I'd give up my inheritance."

"A, alt. Oh, you are."

It's not like I've never seen it before, but it's the first time I've talked to him face to face.

"It's the first time I've seen you. My name is Alto, and I'm a minister of Kamui Kreutz."

"Ka, kamui's, fu, nostalgia, but, knife"

"Except for Kamui's kabuki, which I literally miss."

"Hmm?"

"I'm not going to go into details about that. But..., I see. This is just fine."

"What?

"Ignaz bastards and Maria will be here by the end of the day too. This is not the only opportunity to get together. Long time no see."

Each has a job to do. Harmonia seldom has everyone.

"Sure, but we do meetings a lot, don't we?

"It's a meeting on the table. I went to the back conference."

"What, what's that? I've never heard that before."

"Well, yeah. There were four of us in the conference, and Mito and Otto were at best there."

"... that's kind of suspicious. You don't have a name, do you?

Deefleet really turns his head on things like this.

"That's the kind of meeting. All right, you don't have to miss this opportunity. We should try to unify our overall intentions here. Have a secret meeting. Join Dee this time."

"Ah, oh. That's good, though."

"His Royal Highness too."

"Whoa, me too, huh?

"The convocation takes place in secret. Don't let Kamui find out."

"Oh, oh."

"Bye, later"

◇ ◇ ◇

After dinner that day, the secret meeting was actually convened.

The meeting is in Tiana's room. The room itself is by no means small, but when there are as many as ten people there, I just feel cramped.

"It's a little narrow, but be patient with me"

"Oh, uh, how come in my room?

Tiana's question is best. Tiana is also in her first position to participate in this meeting.

"If you're a little suspicious here, don't worry about Kamui sending a spy. I don't have a hobby for snooping around women's private lives."

"... that's strange. Why don't you tell Master Kamui?

"That's what I'm going to explain"

"... ok"

"Now we shall begin the twenty-second meeting of the Secret Alliance"

Alto declared the holding of a grand secret meeting.

"Twenty-two times? Is that what you're doing?

"Dee. Don't worry about one of these things. There's no meeting going on."

"Ah, oh. Sorry."

"Now, first of all, explain the thrust of this meeting, no secret alliance. On top of that, decide for yourself if you can endorse this."

"I don't know."

"Dee, shut up"

"... sorry"

"There are major problems with Nort Ende. This problem has grown over time, and if it comes to nation-building in the future, it can affect national politics."

"Such a problem......, ah, sorry. I'll ask."

Deefleet on an agenda that's too heavy, and he accidentally voiced it. Soon Alto stared at me and shut me up.

"This problem is caused by one dull man"

"... Yes?

I know it's Kamui. But I don't know why it affects national politics.

"Now many who are here will know what the problem is"

"Uh, is that just a good question?

"Go ahead."

"The kind of problem Kamui's blunt affects national politics?

"I knew Dee didn't get it. Look, if you're going to build a nation in Northende, naturally the king's throne belongs to Kamui."

"Is that what you're gonna say again?

"That fool says the king should be chosen by everyone, too. Don't ask me if I'm wasting my time."

"That sounds like a cum."

"That's a problem, but leave that alone for once. If Kamui becomes king, he still needs a queen to reassure the people. You don't have to explain this, do you?

"Well, of course."

"Now, the question is what to do with the queen."

"That's me!

Lucia is the first person to run for office.

"Lucia isn't the only woman who says that. Uh, where's Mr. Tiana? How about Kamui's wife's seat?

"It's..., the..., with pleasure"

"No! Absolutely no!

It is the uninvited, that is, Ralph, who has raised the opposite voice.

"... Ralph, why are you here?

"Isn't that good? Because I say it's important."

"You're just living here, aren't you?

"That shouldn't be just me"

"Yeah, but you, aren't you involved at all?

"No. I will not allow Tiana to marry the Demon King."

"Get out. You don't deserve to be here when you say Kamui is the Demon King."

"Well, what can I call it"

"After all, are you a brave man?

This is a light abuse of Alto. I know Ralph will get hurt if I say this.

"Absolutely not! That's my title!

"When I couldn't even be a brave candidate,"

"Oh, you said that!? I care!

"That's good enough. Leave the fool alone and move on. Now, even though there's a woman who thinks this way, Kamui herself is completely unaware of it. Is that why?

"That's blunt, right?

Deefleet has known this Kamui bluntness well since college. Although it is mostly information from Serene.

"Sweet. Sure Kamui is dull. But there's no way Tiana would have noticed just as blatantly as Lucia did if she had put her feelings on the table anyway."

"Are you noticing and pretending you haven't noticed?

"That's what I think. Someone who disagrees with this?

…………

"You're not here. So, what's the reason?

"Hildegand..."

If we go so far, even Deefreet will know what's going on.

"First of all, I'm sure."

"It's a long way."

"You can't tell me that's Dee, can you?

"No, I am. Honestly, I don't know if I'm still thinking about it or remembering it from the past."

"Out. Seriously shake it, you're a slut Dee."

"Isn't that too much to say?

"... you had a relationship with the Empress"

"Hey, why did you do that?

To Alto's bomb statement, Deefreet is in a hurry and admits it. Forget I have a sister brother on this occasion.

"Hmm?"

"Hey, Prince Therese. This..."

"I have, I have, I have."

"... held"

"Look at that. Even though they were engaged, they were against the royal family. Prenuptial negotiation is impossible, isn't it?

"No, you need to be ready..."

"Worse. Did you hold him to give up Serene?

What a unpopular Deefleet he was.

"... sorry. Please, will you finish this story?

"I'm good, but you'll be blamed by His Royal Highness Prince Therese later"

"No."

"Oh, you forgive me?

"Oh, dear, oh, dear, do, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't."

If Empress Sophilia hadn't died, Prince Therese wouldn't have tried to forgive her. But Princess Sophilia died young. If Princess Sophilia accepted, I think that would be good.

"... is that so? No, no, don't let it get dark. I'm done talking about Dee."

"Ka, Kamui, look, really, yes, even now?

"I haven't heard anything from him, so I can't say it's absolute. Just."

"Just?"

I've never heard Mr. Hildegand's name from Kamui's mouth.

"Damn, that's it?

"It doesn't mean we won't talk. I don't call my first name. Her Royal Highness, Her Royal Highness Prince Therese."

"Hmm."

This is something that Prince Thales was also concerned about during his conversation with Kamui. against myself. So I also thought I was doing that, but I wasn't.

"Here's what we think. I can't call him Hilda. Well, if you call me Mr. Hildegand, then you'll keep your distance away. Because there are people who don't know their names, like the Devils and the Elves. Being aware of how to call a name means being aware of the other person."

"Oh, no..."

"Um, Mr. Tiana? Why is Mr. Tiana depressed here?

"'Cause it's just me, Mr. Tiana"

"Heh heh, I'm a caller"

Lucia was a proud winner.

"Oh, that's just my brother's difference"

"" Huh?

The same surprise makes one a joy, and one a joy of depression.

"Kamui trusts Lucia's brother Alexis as a companion. Kamui doesn't leave dangerous work to people he doesn't trust. So I also pay tribute to my sister, Lucia. It's weird that the call is respectful, but that's what I'm saying."

"Oh, no..."

"Meanwhile, Mr. Tiana's brother, because he's an idiot there"

"What is an idiot!?

"You can't show any respect, can you? So Mr. Tiana is Mr. Tiana."

"La l 'hu!"

"Why are you angry?

"Because of you, I am drawn to the line by Master Kamui!

"That's good, right!? Instead of a line, we just have to be able to do it in a deep ditch!

"So what if I'm late!?

"How can you not? That's what I heard."

"Oh, that's..."

Ralph said the right thing rarely. When they say this, Tiana can't say anything back.

"I'm finally back to business. Well, finally, a confirmation of intent. As the righteous queen of Kamui, I drag Mr. Hildegand at all costs. Whether you agree with it or not."

"Objection!"

Lucia speaks out against it. But it's not an alt to allow it. This is a secret meeting to unite our will.

"Is it good to simply disagree?

"What?"

"I said the Queen. Kamui makes him king. If you're a king, it's not weird to have a side room."

"Whoa?"

"The reason Kamui doesn't look at women is because of Mr. Hildegand. If it's resolved, and you put it in the cornerstone position of the righteous queen, Kamui will be freed."

"Whoa?"

"Kamui has a strong sense of responsibility, right? If that's what it takes to reassure the public, it's easy to accept a side room."

"Whoa!?

"Well, if the other person really doesn't want to be the Queen, she's not eligible."

"Agreed! Strongly agreed!

Lucia turned to yes. And.

"... yes"

"Tiana!"

"All right, unity of will is complete. Those who still disagree?

"I disagree!

It was one Ralph who raised the opposite voice. Totally pointless opposite.

"Then get out. Out of the way of the meeting."

"... hi, cowardly"

"Get out."

"Agreed"

"Even if they agree with you, it means nothing."

"Agree!"

"... either is good. You don't have to stay or not."

"Well, that's it..."

Where Ralph was silenced, Alto also turned his gaze to everyone and proceeded with the meeting.

"Now, the question is how to draw in. This is pretty tough. Mr. Hildegand is a very strong man."

"His Royal Highness Prince Therese is here. Isn't that easy to call?

"So what's the solution?

"What?"

"Call Mr. Hildegand here as the wife of His Royal Highness Prince Therese, and what happens next?

"That's for you to break up with me"

"Does that convince Mr. Hildegand? Once I became a wife, I devoted my whole life. Mr. Hildegand is someone who thinks like this."

"Sure..."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Why?"

"Whoa, I'm, uh, dying soon."

"Ha!?" "Shh!?" "What!?

"Oh, yeah, yes, I was told. Oh, my consciousness. Oh, yes."

"... that sucks"

"Yes, indeed." "Yes, it is."

When he heard that Prince Therese's life was short, Alto held his head. Plus, Ignaz and Maria are in perfect tune.

"How come?

"You know, my husband died. So, you think you two can think of me next, then, being happy with someone else? It's not someone else."

"... that hurts my chest"

There was a sense in Deefleet that I was someone else.

"See? Unfortunately, you two can't think like Dee. That's counterproductive. I mourn the death of His Royal Highness Prince Therese and turn away."

"... oh well"

"But I know what's going on. So this is what happened? Well, as a result, I'm glad you're here."

"Why not?

"Try to stay dead as heirs to the Empire. If you're bad, Mr. Hildegand might try to martyr the Empire."

'Cause it's serious.'

"Then my eyes were pretty much gone. The Empire and we are no longer compatible."

"... that much?

This is a situation Deefleet doesn't know about. Deefreet is only here. I haven't been in an important meeting place.

"Now, how do you make use of your remaining eyes? I see we don't have time for this. Then the next opportunity has to be considered in the ongoing matter. The Empire will somehow move exactly as Princess Claudia thought. And how the kingdom will come out."

"Do you have the power to do that, Your Highness?

Alto's high regard for Princess Claudia is surprising to Deefleet, who knows her well.

But you'll soon find out it's a mistake in Alto's words.

"That's because I don't know how to shame you. I don't feel embarrassed or anything like that when I do this. So any impotence can be fine. Besides, if the Crown Prince of the Empire comes with authority, then there's no way to prevent it."

"... you're scattered"

"Yes, but that's also the strength. If he cares about the eyes around him, there's nothing he can do. In this respect, we can also say that we know ourselves"

"... I see"

"Then the Empire will let Mr. Hildegand go on his own. What to do with it. Not bad as a direction. Problem is, let it go."

"Why?"

"If Mr. Hildegand could really be hunted down, he shouldn't be able to hold still on to anything, no matter how much. And if Kamui moves himself, so does Mr. Hildegand......, are you all right? I don't know how Mr. Hildegand feels at heart because I haven't seen him."

"I'm fine."

Rita affirmed Alto's doubts. Of these, Rita was the one who most recently got along with Hildegand.

"... let's take Rita's word for it. Then, no problem."

"But don't just wait. Hildegand's position is rather harsh. Before you pull in here."

"I'll take care of that"

"Do something?"

"Not everyone here is in this secret alliance. I will give you the full strength of my alliance to deal with this matter."

I can't imagine how much that total power is. And the other thing I care about is Deefleet.

"Can I ask you one thing?

"What?"

"When was this secret alliance created?

"Do you need to hear it? It was decided when you were at Imperial College, wasn't it?

"... I guess. But how did you get here without Kamui's knowledge?

"Is that impressive?

"Because."

"Our purpose is one thing. Creating a world where everyone, regardless of race or origin, can love each other freely. We're just going our own way to make it happen."

Both Dark and Otto, who are not here, have the same purpose.

"Yes."

"Isn't it strange that a person who works so hard for that purpose should sacrifice himself?

"Well."

"Even if you're hiding and acting, your purpose isn't out of line. Nothing wrong with that."

"Yes, but I was impressed with what I decided to do when I was a student in this situation."

"I don't have this much fun, can I do it? Even we're not made of iron. It's sad when people die, and it hurts my chest if I do something dirty. I can still do it because I have feelings that the happiness of my loved ones lies ahead."

"... right"

In Alto's words, Deefleet finally realized the difference between himself and the Kamuis. Moving with a sense of duty, Kamui and the others are mixing what they want to do.

Though this doesn't fit in every case, I didn't even make an effort to match it. And I am reminded of the difference with myself in the further Alto words.

"Kamui gave us light. We don't want to do anything to take the light away from Kamui, and we don't want him to. This is what we have in common."

…………

"I said something embarrassing. Forget it."

"No. I..."

"What?"

"Nothing."

I've never thought of anyone this far. Deefreet could not speak of it.

"Oh, I am, what, what, what?

"Enjoy the rest of your life"

"Well, then."

"This is pretty serious. His Royal Highness Prince Therese had a pleasant afterlife with Rita and me. Just making Kamui think like this should considerably reduce his resistance after his death. No one feels sorry for a happy man."

"I see."

"The others will do as they have done before. If we were to take action, after we got Mr. Hildegand. Anyway, don't make me feel any drawbacks, but, well, that's when."

"" Yes ""

"All right, unity of will is over. Everyone here is part of a secret alliance from today on. All right, everybody, this is a secret to Kamui."

"Whoa!!

"Oh, other than Ralph."

"Why not!?

"Where's that idiot shouting from by the side that says secret?

"Here."

"Was I aware that I was an idiot or was that good"

"... why?

"Are you kidding me? So you thought you were gonna uke me? Really, Ralph's an idiot."

Usually this is where Tiana says something, but only today Lucia has scolded me.

"Lucia..., you too..."

"Don't call me out of familiarity"
