Maou No Utsuwa

Returning to the Artel Kreutz Republic, the troops split into several units and scattered when they entered the territory. Ultimately, only a thousand horseback riding squadrons and about four thousand troops that came with Hildegand arrived in the country's capital, Harmonia.

"Lutz! Assign quarters to Her Highness's army!

Upon arrival at the army garrison, Kamui gives instructions to Lutz.

"Roger! Uh, Mr. Mathias, Mr. Rank, help me!

"Oh," "Oh."

At the behest of Matthias and Rank, finely divided troops enter the assigned barracks in turn.

"Are you okay? All of a sudden, nearly 5,000 people."

"Fine. Originally, there are more people stationed in the national capital"

"Where are they going?

"We broke up on the way, yes. I decided to stay in Northveg and the surrounding cities for a while."

"Really...... I'm sorry, it's shaped like a push."

'Cause I'm fine.

Somehow an even more awkward presence comes between the two in an awkward atmosphere.

"King Kamui!

"Lucia."

Welcome home, King Kamui.

"Oh, I'm home"

"Do you want to eat? Or a bath? Or..."

Though Lucia makes a deliberate Cena and appeals to Kamui.

"You're not, are you?

It is lightly streamed into Kamui as a joke.

"I'm kidding. Your meal is ready, but they say it's time to do it. Would you like to serve it right away?

"... right. Do you also need guidance to the cafeteria in the barracks? Tell Lutz to get his meals in order."

"Yes!"

While responding to Kamui, Lucia is turning her challenging gaze to her neighbor Hildegand.

"Um, what about you?

This is what Hildegand would have to ask if he did that.

"Is that me? I'm Lucia Strasser. I'm King Kamui's wife!

Lucia answers as usual. This had already been translated into a promise to women visiting the national capital.

"... wife?

I heard Lucia say it. Hildegand's face clouds.

"What about you?

"Wow, I'm Hildegand Valsvork."

"Oh, you......, give!?

Knowing that their opponent was Hildegand, Lucia realized her failure.

"Yes, you are Kamui's..."

"Oh, no! That's the usual joke. When people come, they always make fun of you for saying this!

For women only. Besides, I don't tease you, I restrain you from getting weird about Kamui, but you're right.

"But... you want to be, don't you?

"Of course!"

…………

Hildegand's eyes get thinner. Outside, Hildegand is a yakimochi roast.

"Oh, no! That's also a joke now!

"Yes, yes. This is what Lucia always does. That's a joke. Then nobody laughs."

"" Blunt ""

From the mouth of Hildegand and Lucia, there is a penetration at the same time.

"Oh, Master Hildegand, we seem to fit in, don't we?

"Is it?

…………

Lucia's follow-up was flawlessly rejected by Hildegand.

"Comrade Lucia"

"Wow!"

Lucia's body hardens to the cold voice she hears from her back.

"Comrade Lucia. Why don't you come over here?"

"... Yes. Comrade Alto."

What Lucia, looking back in horror, saw was an upright alto with his hands behind his back. Behind it was also a line of secret allies staring at themselves with cold eyes.

With his feet trembling, Lucia slowly walked away in front of the alts.

"Well, comrade Lucia. You want me to explain what I'm doing now?

"Chi, make a little mistake"

"Well, you knew the target was coming here today. There was a strange face, and I couldn't recognize it as a target. Is that what you're saying?

"Yes, sir"

"You're unbelievable. Betrayal?"

"Chi, no!

"The Alliance does not tolerate betrayal. You forgot the blood code?

What do you care? Alto is in a good mood to accomplish his goals. To the point of doing this kind of warnori.

"... there was such a code?

"I see. Apparently, Lucia needs education with each other. Comrade Ignatz, Comrade Maria"

"" Ha. "

"Hit my comrade Lucia on the idea of alliance."

"" Roger!

"Chi, hey!

Ignaerts and Maria grabbed both arms disappointingly and restrained Lucia.

"Hehe. I'm looking forward to it."

"Ma, Maria?

"Comrade Maria."

Comrade Maria, I have work to do.

"Don't worry about that. Comrade Tiana, take my place."

"Yes."

"I trust my comrade Tiana. Don't make the same mistake as comrade Lucia."

"I'll take care of it"

"Okay. Okay, comrade Lucia. I look forward to seeing you again."

"Yes, no! Somebody help me. Yeah!

The resistance was also empty, and Lucia was dragged by Ignaz and Maria and disappeared from the spot.

…………

Hildegand had no choice but to drop it off.

"Dear Hildegand, I'll show you to your room."

Tiana speaks to such Hildegand.

"Um, what's that?

"Never mind. It won't take your life."

Laughing and spitting noisy dialogue Tiana, Hildegand accidentally followed.

"Ka, kamui?

"Fine. You found something new to play with, didn't you?

"But"

"Come on, let's go to the room. 'Cause you'd be surprised."

"... Yes"

Hildegand's ears as he entered the building had heard someone screaming from afar.

"No, no, oh! Bugs, no, ahhh!

"... what's that?

"Isn't it a bug? It's okay. I'll get rid of the bad bugs properly."

"Yes......"

What do you care, Tiana? I'm just scared of Hildegand.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Go ahead. Come in."

Arriving in front of the room, Kamui proceeded to Hildegand to enter the room with a meaningful grin.

"... Yes"

Though a little surprised by that, Hildegand opens the door to the room as he was told and tries to get inside. But the leg stopped right away.

"What about you?

"Surprised? Come on, come in."

Happy to think I could surprise Hildegand, I pushed that back and it was Kamui entering the room, but the surprise was Kamui.

"Aura? That?

"Welcome home. King."

Aura was the only one in the room. The Aura is bowing her head to Kamui with respect.

"Oh, I'm home.... What about that guy?

"If it's Lord Therese, we're going out"

"What?"

Hildegand surprised to hear an unexpected name.

"Oh, I said my name. I was going to surprise Her Royal Highness."

I wanted to surprise you more differently, Kamui looks sorry.

"... surprised. Master Therese was here."

"Yes. So, where is Master Therese now?

"We're on a journey"

"What!?

Kamui was also surprised by this. I haven't heard anything about it, like going on a journey. I'm not a body that can travel in the first place.

"I don't know if I'll be back. Even if you come back, it's a long way from here."

But Aura keeps talking flat.

"Why!? I can't believe I'm traveling with such a body!

"Such a body? What do you mean?

Hildegand has not been told about Therese's body.

"Oh dear...... Master Therese is sick."

"Take a journey in sickness...... Will it be all right?

"Uh..."

I can't tell Hildegand that it's not weird when he dies.

"O king. Sickness is fine."

Aura has told Kamui, who hesitates to reply, something unexpected.

"What do you mean?

"Lord Thales' disease has been cured. I'm not saying perfect, but at least you won't die any time soon."

"Die?" "Healed?

It was Kamui and Hildengand who raised their voices at the same time, but the contents of that reaction are the opposite.

"First, shouldn't I explain?

"Right. As a matter of fact, Master Therese has been ill for a long time."

"... I didn't know"

"Because I was hiding it. Looks like Rita didn't even know, so I guess nobody knew?

"Rita's here, too?

"Yes. And then... and the kids"

"Rita has a child?

"... yes"

"That's good to hear."

Watching Hildegand rejoice, Kamui relieves himself of his chest. I heard the story, but Hildegand and Rita seem to get along really well.

"So, boy? Girl?"

"Oh boy. I named him Zigmund. It means guardian."

"Kamui became a named parent?

"Master Therese asked me to. Why would you say that?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Oh. So I turn the story back to Dear Therese himself, he said there was enough to be a dead minister before he got here. They told me he was dying soon."

"That's healed, isn't it? That's good."

"Yes, but they said he was going to die. How did you heal him?

At first, Kamui is also trying healing magic on Taireys. But he's totally unresponsive and he's giving up healing.

"O king. I am still an ex-god, and I have lived 10,000 years. I'm not saying I can cure everything, but I have some knowledge of treatment. And the power to cure it."

"I mean, the power of the divine tribe?

"I don't have that much power right now, but the root is something close to it."

"... you made it impossible"

"A little."

Aura acknowledged Kamui's allegations. But this is suspicious the other way around.

Ex-god tribe, and now Aura is not. It will be quite impossible for people to show miracles and praise. Even Kamui, who doesn't know the power of the Divine Nation, can imagine this much.

"... not a little bit, huh?

"No problem"

"... well. Thank you for saving me, Master Therese."

Kamui stopped pursuing any more. Aura made up her mind. It's more important to say thank you than blame it.

"Even from me. Thank you."

"I have deposited a letter from Lord Thales to the two of you. After you read it, you two should decide. I'll leave the letter here. Bye."

When Aura took the letter out of her pocket, she lined it up in bed and left the room.

Kamui and Hildegand, placed in bed, each taking and reading a letter addressed to them. Even when it comes to letters, what it says is a short sentence. The two immediately finished reading and looked at each other.

"May I ask what it said?

"... when you get away. And it said to live free. What's in your letter to Kamui?

"That's..."

"What is it?

"I'll give you back what you keep, so you can do whatever you want"

"... Could I be the one to keep it?

"Maybe that's what this is about?

It had reached Kamui, who had graduated from college and returned to Nort Ende, a letter from Thereys. It did say I would keep it.

Kamui remembered the incident.

"So, what do you do?

"Do whatever you want..."

"Yes."

"And can I?

"And I don't know!

Hildegand's face stains bright red.

"No! He said it didn't mean anything weird!

Same goes for Kamui. I'm blushing, panicking, making excuses.

"So what do you mean?!

"It is...... All the time, I want to keep it on my side"

"Ah..."

"I still like Hilda. Hilda next to me, if that's all right."

"… I am isolated"

Hide the truth, Hildegand will say this.

"It doesn't matter"

"There are others who think of Kamui."

Thoughts I've always had on my chest. And when it came to that, I was kind of scared.

"Hilda's the one I like"

"I..."

Is it really good for me to say my thoughts? Isn't this some kind of mistake? That thought makes Hildegand hesitant.

"You don't like being my wife?

"... no"

"Then... marry me"

"... Yes"

I go close to Hildegand's face, which is red stained with the light of Kamui's face.

Two lips overlap, exactly then...

"Congratulations!

"Ahhh!

I opened the door to the room and Lucia screamed out loud.

"... Lucia. You were safe?

"No, I thought you were going to die. A bug I hate puts my foot on...... Oh, no!

Lucia is shaking her body remembering that particular thing. Kamui looks at Lucia like that with cold eyes.

"So since when is Lucia outside the room?

"... it's the"

"Did you come in anticipating the timing? Maria!"

"Yes, it is!

"I knew you were there."

"Ah."

"Well, good. Apparently, comrade Lucia hasn't had enough reflection yet."

Kamui tried to imitate Alto's tone by coming up with it.

"Whoa?"

Maria reacts to that.

"Mutual Maria. Ask for further education."

"Copy that!

"Yes, no! No, no, no!"

And the interrupter was dragged out of the room by Maria and forced to leave.

"I don't care, what's a comrade?

Leave that question with Kamui.

◇ ◇ ◇

The fact that Maria was there naturally meant that there were others in the way, and the two of us had time to keep it.

A meal with everyone as it is. For the Hildegands, it's been a long time since we had a slow meal. I didn't know much to talk about, and the time for a welcome lasted forever.

And it was completely late at night, and a quiet late night except for those on night shift.

There were two people who couldn't sleep even though they weren't working nights.

…………

…………

Kamui wandered around feeling restless all the time after entering the room. After a while, it seemed I was finally ready and sat next to Hildegand.

"Damn, should we go to bed?

"Oh, yeah"

"You're tired, right?

"Right, right"

"... right"

It was obviously depressing.

"Oh, so, but I can stay awake a little longer."

"Oh well!

"Yes, sir"

"... uh"

With hesitation, Kamui gently reached for Hildegand's shoulder. Keep it up, when you gently attract Hildegand, you lay your own it on its lips.

Hildegand is also a little hesitant, but in response, the two fall straight into bed.

Finally, the waiting time for the two of us......, though.

"Start"

"No. Jing."

"" No. ""

The interrupters, as always, were gathered outside the hallway.

Moreover, whispers in the room, which should not normally be audible, have for some reason reached the hallway.

"... Hilda"

"What?"

"Oh, it's my first time."

"Oh, yeah."

"Well, I don't think so."

Even this embarrassing conversation.

"Fool."

"" "Same" "

The wild horses look so sorry for Kamui.

"Don't be embarrassed. I don't care."

"Oh, yeah."

"And so am I."

"Oh, yes... Huh!?

Kamui shouts out in reply to the exact answer.

The same is true of the watchmen who were surprised by Hildegand's confession.

"Hi, first time?

"None, letter. Surprise."

"" "Same" "

"Wow, I'm also with men, and, you know, this sort of thing..."

"We were officially married, weren't we?

"Yes. You know that, right?

"Oh. Uh... Was His Royal Highness the one who couldn't do this?

"You have children, don't you?

"... well. Then why? Oh, for me, well, I'm glad. Oh, it's not like I'm obsessed."

Kamui has no idea what kind of reaction is right.

"He said he hates strong women. That's what they said on the first day, and that was clear."

"Maybe I missed you?

"Little bit. I wonder what Lady Therese did for her, not what she did for her."

"Right."

"But it was good. In the end, the mouth, you know, this is gonna be Kamui's first time, right?

"Right."

And these two confessions, again, surprise the watchmen.

"Interface, port, first, ca?

"None, Know"

"Hidden"

"Yes, punishment."

"" "Same" "

"To be"

"What?"

"Hi, first time. None, Xu, now."

"Why?"

"To, after, ceremony, marriage. Hi, My Lady. Be, know, people, subordinate, emperor."

"Master Aura, I can't. I don't know what that means."

The cryptic words of the Therays stream are still far from complete. Alto honestly gave up.

"If Hildegand is still a maiden, we should celebrate her first night after her formal marriage."

"Do I need that?

"One is that preserving purity until marriage is in accordance with God's will. On the other hand, Master Hildegand is the righteous queen. To be rude, shouldn't we let the people know it's not an imperial step back?

"... Indeed"

"So?"

"Sounds pathetic, but definitely blocked"

The watchmen's decision was made. In Kamui's most unwanted form.

"Hilda......"

"Kamui......"

Two atmospheres at last, but that's where I get in the way as much as I want.

"Let's get you there!

Alto doesn't seem to be out of Warnori yet.

"Ahhh!" "Hey, what the fuck!?

"I'm sorry, but I'll have the wedding officially held before we go ahead"

"Why?"

"Mr. Hildegand is going to be the Queen. It's better to be decent."

"... reasoning would be. Don't go that far."

As a Kamui, I'm not convinced. The two of us who had given up came right in front of us.

"Well, I'll ask. When did you talk to Mr. Hildegand?

"Hey, why did you do that?

Kamui's feelings are foreseeable for Alto. If that's the case, I'll have to force you to convince me.

Answer me.

"... the day I graduated from college"

"When we talked alone? How dare you hide it from me?"

"There's no way you can say that, is there?

"That's right, though. I knew it wasn't a good idea to hide inside your people. Depositing until the ceremony is a punishment."

"That's a trick. More than that, how do you know that?

Here Kamui went to fight back.

"I've been doing a lot of research, by chance."

Alto answered with a face that doesn't eat anything, but this is just impossible.

"Hilda, what did you say about this?

"This is my first time earlier. It's not something anyone can say."

"Right. Okay, Alto?

"... don't take a sweet look at my information network"

"There's no way you can find out what you've never said!

"... I just heard it by accident"

Alto decided that concessions were necessary to this point.

"Wow. I didn't know our voices would leak outside the room. What's going on with this room building?

"Maybe it's a little flawed. I'll find out later."

The strength of Alto is what doesn't break here.

"One more thing later"

But Kamui's pursuit never stops.

"What?

"How did you get rid of the signs? If you come near the room, I'll know exactly what it is. But until Alto came into the room, he didn't feel any sign."

"... isn't it because you were obsessed?

"Shiitake."

"Otherwise, you can't serve Kamui, can you?

"... Maria!

"Yes, what... Shit!

It is truly Marian.

"Mi t"

"... Yes"

Mito can't ignore Kamui's call.

"Who's there after that?

"In a word......, all of them?

When this happens, Alto can't make a strong argument anymore.

"Come out!

And what showed up was the face of being able to say everyone, just like Alto said.

"Until the masters?

"It is time for the king to achieve his sorrow. There's no way you're not gonna be there."

Ryan has nowhere to go bad at all.

"You'll have a pretty apprentice in public. It's only natural to be present."

That's the same for Silver.

"The new Lord. It's the moment of the Queen's birth, so as a minister, it's natural."

Naturally, Aura is just like the two of us.

"... I mean, I erased all the signs, I picked up the voices in the room, with the work of the masters"

"You didn't realize it was just the three of us, did you? You don't have enough training."

"Bad taste"

"Oh, we don't care. Demons and elves are tolerant of this kind of thing."

"I care!

"Anyway, I'll take care of things. Until that day, the rooms are separate."

"Oh, no..."

That's right. Kamui can't resist the masters either. There is a hand of kings power, but Kamui will not use it.

"This is the punishment for hiding things. You can't hide and do what you want."

"... when's the ceremony?

"It's not until you've decided to pick an invitee or something. I mean, undecided."

"Oh, whoa."

The happiness that was in front of me kept me away at once.

"Well, I'll have Mr. Hildegand move the room"

"... Yes"

"Tiana, show me to my room."

"Where?

"Next to Tiana's Room"

"The room is already in use, though?

"Kick him out."

"Okay."

One man is surprised next to Tiana who answered Alto's instructions instantly.

"Hey, sister, that's my room, right?

"Ralph, will you pack your bags and leave the room?

"... where am I?

"Come on?"

"Hey!"

"Well, that's the thing. It's late at night. We'll pull up, too."

"... my first night"

Kamui hasn't gotten back on his feet yet. I am dropping my shoulders disappointingly.

"I'm sorry to hear that. That means having fun later. Bye.... Comrade Lucia"

"What?"

"Why are you sleeping in bed?

Soon, Lucia was diving into bed.

"King Kamui was worried that he had no experience. As a minister, I will throw myself out for the king and become a practice bench!

"Ah, bugs."

"Hiya!

"That's all you're afraid of, you can't really punish me. Look, get the hell out of the room. Lucia will come later, no matter what."

Even if I'm interrupting or complaining, I have support for Lucia.

"... Yes"

◇ ◇ ◇

The emperor's sanatorium is in the north of the centre of the Empire. Going north as far as the Northern Uncle Territories makes the winter cold harsher, but not so much around here. The temperature difference is not so different in summer and winter, a place where you can spend the whole year feeling cool.

Even after the emperor and the empress moved to this sanatorium, no visitors visited there. In the first place, it is not known that we are in this place.

My first visitor showed up at that sanatorium today.

"You want to see the Empress?

"Yes."

"There's no way they're gonna let me see you if you come visit all of a sudden, is there? Once you get permission in the Imperial Capital, come."

"I came directly because I couldn't do that."

"Why can't you? Well, I don't know if I'll get permission."

Claudia doesn't like contact with the Emperor. Claudia really turns a blind eye to the possibility of threatening her position.

"It's not, and I can't make an offer. I'm being chased by the Empire."

"Behold! Are you a sinner?

"I don't think I'm a sinner. It's just that there's someone in my way."

"Ah! What!?

I finally know who my opponent is, escort knight. I'm in disguise, but I'm sure it's someone the escort knight knows.

"I don't care if I catch you or kill you. It would be helpful if you could do that after seeing your father and mother."

Though it was a talese that tore its own identity apart.

"... about what?

The knight of the escort made me fall in love in white.

"Hmm?"

"Well, that was an interview with the Empress. Hmm, if it's supposed to be, I can't forgive it without permission, but it's the first time I've seen a visitor or something like that. I think you might want to talk to both of us."

"Is this your first time visiting?

"That's right. This is what happens when you treat your predecessor..."

"Better not say beyond that. Okay, so can you let me through?

"Oh. Go through."

"Thanks"

"No need to say thank you or anything. I didn't do anything."

"Still, thank you,"

"... Ha"

The sanatorium is not that big a building. Through the front door, I was able to find the Empress as soon as I entered the building.

"... oh, no"

"We were out of time. Mother, you look fine."

"Therese......, are you ready to talk!?

Not only did Therese show up, but the words surprised the Empress as well.

"Yes. While practicing in the tunnel. Apparently he wasn't sick, he was just blunt."

"No way?"

"Well, I don't know how it actually is. Maybe someone healed me."

"Someone..."

The Empress does not understand the explanation of Therese. I don't want to explain it to Therese.

Keeping the bewildered Empress intact, Therese urged Rita, who had refrained behind her, to step forward.

Zigmund is held in that Rita's arm.

"I'll introduce you. I'm Jigmund, a child with Rita."

"Well! Did you have a child!?

"Yes."

"Congratulations on that.... Are you okay? I came here."

Finally, the Empress seemed to settle down from the upset, and she could afford to worry about Therese's body.

"I really wanted to show my face. And, well, you'll be fine."

"Yes."

"Can I see your father?

"Absolutely! That guy would love that. I had a grandson."

"Right. I hope so."

"Come on, come on. This way."

The terrace facing the garden was the place where the Empress led me to. The first emperor sits on the couch and stares at the garden.

"You, Therese, are here."

…………

"You're surprised, aren't you? Since when do I have to see your face?"

…………

"Besides, Therese had a child. Your grandson. You'll want to see your face."

…………

The Empress does not react at all to the Empress's words, but never cares about them at all, and the Empress continues her conversation.

"Come on, Therese. Show him your grandson's face."

"Mother."

"Occasionally. Sometimes I react. But I don't know how. Anyway, if we talk all the time, we'll figure it out."

"Really?"

"Come on, show him the kid's face"

"Yes."

From Rita, Thereys stood in front of his predecessor with a hug in his chest when he received Jigmund.

"Father. We're out of time. It's Therese."

…………

"I asked you today because I wanted to show you my son's face"

…………

"His name is Zigmund. Zigmund Ray Weilburg."

"Ugh... Ugh..."

An emperor reacts to the words of Therese. It's a frightening reaction.

"You!" "Father!

"Les......, y......"

"That's a middle name. His name is Zigmund."

"Les......, y......"

The previous emperor was reacting to Ray's words.

"Could you possibly know? What does Ray mean?

"Da......, me......, le......, y......"

"I hear Ray has a special meaning, doesn't he? Only the Zigmund generation could forgive me."

"... na,... na"

The emperor has his eyes wide open to the words of Therese. I know what words mean.

"He said it was a reward for me for not forgetting how I was as a guardian. Honestly, I don't know what this is about."

"SO..., SO..., RE..."

"I have a named parent. Zigmund's named parent is......, Kamui Kreutz!

"Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Hearing Kamui's name, the emperor reacts even louder.

"I knew it. Kamui gave me Zigmund's name and Ray's middle name. They say Zigmund means guardian."

"Shh, shh..., shh..."

"React to this too? What's next?

"Therays?"

"Father is reacting to something involving Kamui, the Demon Nation. I wanted to try and stimulate it more."

"Yes."

"... I hear the royal family has the blood of the demon king!?

"Ugh..."

"A little different.... the Empire will change the name of the country! SchutzAlten's name is removed from the Empire, and the SchutzAlten Empire disappears from the world!

"Ah..."

"Claudia will do it. Probably with Kamui's ruse. Claudia rides Kamui's measures and erases the Schutz Alten Empire!

"... whoa, whoa, whoa!

"Father!" "You!

"... whoa, whoa, whoa..., did you?

Interrupted, but the emperor spoke the language. It is proof of a return to consciousness. A definite will appears not only in the words, but also in the face of the predecessor.

"Father? Can we talk?

"Yu, yu, yu, yu, yu, sa-sa, be..., did you?

"I don't know that. It's just that the demons who cured my illness said this. He said if you really want to cure your father, bring him to the Artenkreutz Republic. I said I'd just check on him."

"Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ku, but?

"Where is the Arten Kreutz Republic?

"Oh, didn't you know? In Northende Kamui was founded and became king of the Republic of Artenkreutz. It wasn't just the demons, it was the kings of the people who became Kamui."

"Yes. You finally did it"

"We've just done it, so we're going to. But it's a good country."

"Ok, ok, ok...,"

"Father. It's good to be able to talk, but then you're worse than me before, right?

"Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh."

"... I'm talking to you. You have a good conversation."

The Empress doesn't know if her face is laughing or crying. It's a complicated look. But there's one emotion. Full of joy.

"Well, I'm used to it, so I'm fine. Let's talk slowly."

People laugh at the sanatorium. That was the first time an emperor had come to this place.
