Maou No Utsuwa

For Kamui, the fact that Theresa was also recognized by the Demons is truly delightful. However, for those hostile to Kamui, it will give the opposite sentiment.

In particular, this time it was a completely incomprehensible event for those who did not feel comfortable with the Republic. I still understand the meaning of the Kingsguard exam. However, I don't know what it means to be a side chamber, and I'm not sure whether or not to accept it.

Not to mention that if the Demons admitted it and started some sort of ritual trickery, I don't even feel like understanding it anymore.

People often take one action when they encounter an incomprehensible event.

Ignore it and avoid it.

Princess Juliana's choice was that as well.

"Tomorrow I will return to the kingdom."

Princess Juliana's words at the table of the interview with Kamui, which finally came true, were that.

"Really? That's good. Because the people of the kingdom will be worried."

It's not something Kamui wants or wants. They often stay forever.

"Yes, I have one favor for the king."

"... what is it?

I somehow understand that it's not even Loc.

"There are those who want to take one to the kingdom. Can you forgive me for that?

"By forgiveness, you mean the people of this country?

"Yes, it is."

Princess Juliana has a full grin on her face. The purpose of gathering information has not been fulfilled at all, but in this matter, because I think I have rewarded the Republic with one arrow.

"I see. First, can you tell me who that is?

Kamui has no idea who he thinks of going to the kingdom, etc.

It's Lord Ralph.

"Are you that idiot... That's what he wants, isn't it?

"Yes, that's what Lord Ralph said."

"I see...... Uh, Lucia, will you call me an idiot?

To start with Ralph, Kamui thought.

"Oh, now Tiana's gaining a lot of momentum."

"... I don't know how long it'll take to get him here."

Tiana goes to Ralph's place and knows what she's up to.

"Right. If you bring him in, he could be dead."

"That doesn't sound like a joke. I knew Lucia would go, too. Make sure you bring him in alive properly."

"Yes!"

It was a long time since Camui's life, and Lucia left with joy.

'Cause this ain't no fun place to go.

Kamui shrugs with a bitter laugh on its back.

"Oh, you know, Master Kamui?

Totally, Princess Juliana, who had been left alone, called out.

"Oh, you need an explanation. Mr. Tiana is a fool's sister. I think he listened and went mad and turned to the idiot place. The fool, because Mr. Tiana can't lift his head, by now, is he beaten or kicked? Well, that's the way it is."

"Oh, yeah."

It is only certain that something totally unimaginable is happening to Princess Juliana, the royal family.

"Finally, I say, the fool is a dweller, not a citizen"

"What?"

"In that sense, I don't need my forgiveness or anything, but at first I wanted to listen to him."

"Not the people?

Princess Juliana has not heard this fact from Ralph's mouth.

"Yes."

"What does living here mean?

"Nothing in particular has been decided because of your presence. You're doing whatever you want. In that case, you're still working out."

"Really..."

For Princess Juliana, it was a miscalculation. I wanted to be a part of this because I've been pulling out of the ranks of the republic, but this doesn't pull me out.

"Oh, but you've been here a long time, haven't you?

"Well, since before the founding of the country."

"Okay, good."

"What?

"No, nothing."

On Princess Juliana's face, a grin returned. I don't need to be honest with you about being a resident, etc. The point is, if Ralph brings the republican information to the kingdom, it will be in his own hands.

"Ha, let go!

"Shut up! Dumb brother!

While we were having that conversation, we heard noisy voices coming from the entrance. I was bringing Ralph in after Lucia so Tiana could drag him.

"Master Kamui. I've brought Lord Ralph. We live properly."

"No, because I will kill you now. I will not disturb Master Kamui's hand. Rest assured."

Following Lucia's report, Tiana says something noisy.

"Mr. Tiana, can you keep him alive for now? 'Cause I need to talk to you."

"... if Master Kamui says so. Look, you stupid brother! Get down on your knees!"

Tiana yells at Ralph with a completely different ghost shape than a smile directed at Kamui.

"How could I!?

"First kneel and apologize. Look, hurry up."

Tiana pulls Ralph's arm and tries to force him to kneel on the floor.

"Get off me, you ghost sister!

"What the hell!?

Ralph resists that Tiana with his mouth, too. The fact that you don't use your arms is a sweet spot for Ralph's Tiana. In the end, it's just a sibling.

It's funny, but I can't leave you alone forever.

"I'd like you to be a little quieter if you could"

"... Yes"

Hearing Kamui stop, Tiana's momentum shriveled at once.

"Well, I heard the story. You're going to the kingdom?

Where Tiana became quiet, Kamui turned to Ralph for questioning.

"... oh"

"What do we do when we get to the kingdom?

"I don't know that. Think after you go."

"You're the same. Her Royal Highness Princess Juliana. Haven't you decided what to do with him?

Frightened by Ralph, who didn't think anything of it, Kamui turned the person she would listen to into Princess Juliana.

I'm thinking of you as my Kingsguard.

"Kingsguard? By the way, does Her Royal Highness Princess Juliana's Kingsguard ever go to war?

"There isn't."

It is a kingdom where there is no place for women to play. There can't be a chance to go to war or anything.

"Yes...... You, is that good?

Kamui also returned the person in question to Ralph.

"There's no good or bad. That's what you do."

"I don't know."

Ralph's attitude was somewhere unfaithful and Kamui didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master Kamui, Lord Ralph says he's going to the kingdom. Isn't that good? Besides, Lord Ralph is not from the Republic in the first place."

"Could you keep your mouth shut for a second? I want to speak to him."

"... Yes"

In silencing Princess Juliana, Kamui also turns to Ralph and raises an inquiry.

"What are you going to the kingdom for?

"Seeking work."

"So, what brings you to this place?

"It's..."

"Isn't it because you want to be strong?

"Yes."

In the same environment as Kamui, with the same workouts, you can be just as strong. This is what Ralph thought when he came to Northende.

"Can you go to the kingdom and be strong?

"I can be. It doesn't matter where I am. I'll be strong. I'm going to be strong and one day I'm going to go beyond you."

"Right. That won't change...... All right, then?

"Master Kamui!

Tiana shouted in a panic when Kamui said the words he would tolerate.

"Oh, and what about Mr. Tiana? You're going with me?

"It's..."

Tiana's face shades. As for Tiana, it's a shock to be asked such a question.

"Before that!

It was Lucia who put out the help boat here.

"Hey, what?

"I think you should tell me what Kamui wants me to do first."

"Oh, well. Uh, I want you to stay."

"Then I'll stay!

I got the words I wanted, and Tiana's face lit up in an instant.

"That's fast. Then Mr. Tiana will do as he has always done. But good?

"Yes, even though I said brothers and sisters, I thought I was going to live another life one day."

Even if it's an excuse to stay on Kamui's side, what you're saying is not a mistake.

"Right. So is that. Well, keep it up."

"Yes!"

As opposed to Tiana, who replies cheerfully, Ralph's face, who was watching the two interact, is distorted.

"Why should I..."

This Ralph grunt didn't sound like Kamui talking to Tiana.

But Princess Juliana heard me. Knowing what Ralph meant by grunting, Princess Juliana panicked and opened her mouth to wrap up the story.

"Master Kamui, may I take Lord Ralph to the kingdom, then?

"Oh, if it's your wish, I have no right to stop you"

"That's what I heard earlier. So now my wish has been heard."

"I just need a favor from Ralph."

"What could it be?

"I told Ralph?

…………

She was the unpunished Princess Juliana.

"What?"

In response to Kamui's words, Ralph inquires in a slightly, pretentiously rotten manner.

"Be strong. Strong enough to take me down."

"... of course."

"That's what happened. I need a favor from you. If you think I'm going the wrong way. If you think you're doing something to make people in this world suffer, stop me then."

"Stop?"

"It means kill him."

"Hey, what are you saying?

Ralph doesn't know what Kamui's intent is to ask you to kill yourself.

"I've made a big mistake before. Not that I won't do it either. If I make a mistake when I become king of a nation, it will afflict a lot of people. That's why I'm not gonna stop walking. Our dreams are still far away."

"Even so, does anyone tell you to kill yourself, etc."

"With that kind of presence, I can safely move forward. If you think there's someone who can make it right by mistake, you can move on without hesitation, right?

"You..."

For Ralph, Kamui's weakness to hear for the first time. Ralph didn't know that Kamui, who was constantly making room, was thinking about this in his heart.

"Actually, this was something you asked Hildegand to do before."

"To the queen... Really?

Ralph asked the gaze at Hildegand.

"Yes, and I also asked Kamui to stop me if I went the wrong way. It's about time you graduated from Imperial College."

"Before that? You guys..."

I know you two have known each other a long time. But Ralph was the first to know that the two of them had vowed to do this together.

"Hildegand is my wife. I can't play that role anymore. If I step off the road, Hildegand will fall with me. So I want you to do the part."

"... why me?

"Because you're an idiot"

"What!?

"I'm an idiot, so I try to take the straight path. That's the right thing to do. You're on the right track, you'll never stain us. So you're always our critic. No, because it's you."

No means are chosen for the purpose. By oath like this, the Kamuis have come this far. I don't regret that, but I'm not going to justify it.

Evil is evil for whatever reason. Critics remind us of this to the Kamuis.

"No way, you told me to come here with that intention from the start?

"No. I didn't think that far at first. But I've been watching you, and I found out you're that kind of guy. Then. I started thinking about this."

"Have you been watching?

"That's what we need."

"Ah..."

Ralph looked like a shudder at Kamui's words for a moment, but soon he leaned down to hide his face.

"What's up?

"... have you been watching?

"Oh, yeah, you were watching."

"Ever......"

"Hey, what?

"I've always wanted to hear what you're saying"

With a trembling voice, Ralph finally said this. Kamui remembered his existence. I was so happy for Ralph.

"... oh well. I'm sorry. I was trying to keep my distance, hoping I'd get along too well."

"That makes me like you!?

"Like."

"I will continue to criticize you for the rest of my life, no matter what!

"Oh, oh."

"I'll keep you under surveillance for the whole time!

"Yes, no, I want that to stop."

"I've always been, always been..."

Ralph also looked down and didn't try to keep going.

"Eh?

"Um, Master Kamui"

Tiana calls out to the bewildered Kamui.

"What?"

"Um, I mean, my stupid brother, he was wondering if you wanted to say he'd stay on his side the whole time"

"... Huh?

"Oh, that's weird on the side. I thought you were not going to the kingdom."

"What? Really?

"... Kingdom is far away. From there, it's gonna be tough to kill you."

"Well."

I had the hardest thing to say to Tiana, so Ralph no longer had any hesitation. It's hard to be honest about what you're talking about.

"As soon as it's close."

"... oh yeah. Then do it."

"Is that good?

"You want to do that, don't you? Then you can do whatever you want. You have that freedom."

Whether it's a habitat or not, if you want it from the bottom of your heart, you have a place to be. That's what the Artenkreutz Republic is all about. That's what Kamui thinks he wants it to be.

"Okay."

"Don't get used to each other, okay?

"Who can get along with you?"

"You're staying here, aren't you?

"I'm not staying to serve you. I'll stay to stop you when I have to."

"Right. That's good."

Kamui with a full smile. Ralph responded with a grin as he seemed to shine on it.

Naturally, it is Princess Juliana who is not convinced by it.

"Wait a minute, please. Then you have a promise to me."

"I told you I would if I wanted to."

"Then Lord Ralph. What happens to promises?

"Oh, bad. Forget it."

"Oh, so light"

"I say lightly, but I think I asked you lightly, if you want to come with me, just come with me."

"... may be so"

It's Princess Juliana's fault to get a high-flying attitude right away when you think you're the one who doesn't need to fix it.

"I don't want to follow you, so I won't. Isn't it?

"... it will happen."

"Well, that's what it is."

…………

Princess Juliana, who could no longer say anything, but her face was stained bright red with humiliation. In my feelings, I'm not convinced at all.

"... uh, Her Royal Highness Princess Juliana. What do you say we have a meal?

Kamui tried to be careful, as he was a guest from another country at first.

"Meals…. Is it that time already?"

'Cause it's a little early, but we're all gonna be tired of waiting'

"You mean everyone?

"These are the people who were present at Theresa's exam. We got together because of this, so let's all have fun. Come with me if you like."

I mean, the demon tribe chiefs. When this is known, Princess Juliana's reply is decided.

"... Excuse me, I think I'm getting a little tired."

"Yes...... Then you have no choice. Let me take you to your room to eat."

"Best wishes. Now, if you'll excuse me."

More than that, just because she didn't want to be here for a moment, Princess Juliana, on her early feet, went back to her room.

"You totally pissed me off."

"Oh, bad. It's my fault."

"No, it's the same without it. Never mind. And even if it's in our favor, this is our wish."

"Why not?

"I can't believe I'm tired, you're an obvious liar. I just don't want to take the same seat as the Demons."

"You know what?"

"Well, it's good to think about dealing with it later. Let's just have dinner."

◇ ◇ ◇

Thanks to Princess Juliana's refusal to participate, the dinner seats had been unpleasant and lively. It's been a long time since I've had this many faces.

Each has as many events as he wants to talk about, and the story never runs out.

Still, whatever you say, the focus of today's topic is Theresa.

"Theresa! Always, don't talk there, come here too"

"Ah, yes."

"It's fine. Don't deal with such beasts. Hey, Ryan. Don't interrupt me. Now we're talking about something important."

"You think it's important? I don't know how to talk about Camilla."

"Bad?"

There is a powerful man in the devil clan who wants to teach Theresa how to dictate to men.

"Theresa. It's no use asking a vampire about that. Let's talk about martial arts over here."

Ryan didn't mind and invited Theresa to come near him.

"Ah, yes."

"Theresa. It's okay, leave that alone"

Reply, Camilla pulls over Theresa trying to take a seat.

"Eh, ah, yes"

"Don't keep it to yourself. Theresa's the star of the day, isn't she?

In the meantime, Ryan complains.

"It's become a side room, so this kind of story is important, right?

Camilla is not going to give in either.

"What's important? There won't be anything to dictate to vampires in the first place, though?

"What?

"Theresa, let me tell you something good"

"Yes, sir"

"Watch out for vampire women"

"What, why?

"Those guys, if you care about that, you don't have to do anything to attract men. Be careful or they'll take the king."

The nature that all vampire women have. It doesn't matter about magic, it activates the power to attract men.

"Eh!

"Don't be a little weird. Don't worry, Theresa. Because it's sealed properly."

"What's a seal..."

I mean, what Ryan's saying is true.

"Unseal it, and it will be over."

"Oh, how about that? I don't think I'll work for the king."

"Whoa? You, now you've tried?

"No way. Oh, but let's give it a try once or so?

"Oh, no!

In response to Camilla's joke, in panic, Theresa reacts.

"Well, cute. Theresa is pure. It's okay. I won't do that."

"Really?"

"True"

"Fine, give me Theresa. There's someone waiting for me next."

"" That's right! Yes! "

In response to Ryan's words, other tribal chiefs speak up at the same time.

"You have no choice. Bye, Theresa. Take your time again."

"Yes."

Like this, Theresa was, like, pulling.

Kamui feels relieved to see that. I was more than happy that Theresa had no resistance whatsoever and was able to crack it down with the Demons.

"You look happy?

"What, oh. Well, it's easier for me to get along."

"Put it that way. I'm not such a jerk-off."

"... is that right?

The fact that Hildegand is roasted is now unquestionable.

"What is it?

"No, it's nothing"

"... but honestly, I didn't think that Mr. Therese could crack it down so much"

Something tells me Hildegand remembers Theresa stuck to Kamui. Sometimes you feel that way about the prejudice against the offspring of the border.

"Aura told Theresa to be the moon, but I think it's a good analogy"

"What do you mean?

"Is Theresa..., easier to understand than to say a mirror? Change their appearance by the person they deal with"

"... a good person if you're a good person. Bad people are bad people. Is that what you mean?

"Well, like that. I've always thought I was an insensitive woman, too, but I wasn't, actually. Twice as many people, they are sensitive to the other person's feelings, and they take care to follow that feeling. So that was it."

The person to whom it was drawn was a selfish, insensitive woman.

"You know very well about Mr. Theresa, don't you?

"... after all, yakimochi roasted"

"No. But does that mean that Mr. Therese was reflecting the feelings of Emperor Claudia?

"Maybe."

"... what Mr. Therese has done, is what Emperor Claudia has thought in his heart?

Hildegand's impression of Claudia is still an unknown favorite. I couldn't imagine Claudia behind what Theresa did.

"I imagine. But when I think about it, a lot of things go together. Claudia doesn't have a conspiracy minister. That's what Kanell looks like, but I don't think that's the kind of character that can do anything as bad."

"Ah."

"What's up?

"So I remembered. As soon as I got back, there was something I wanted you to see."

"What?"

"This is it."

That's what Hildegand says. He takes out a piece of paper and offers it to Kamui.

"You're ready."

"I was really hoping I'd have to hurry and check. But I missed the opportunity in Mr. Theresa's exam."

"Oh, I was so flustered. What is this?"

"This is a list of those who wish to enter the country that we keep in the fort. Just look at it."

Kamui drops his eyes on the paper given to Hildegand. I checked the name that was written there and immediately looked up.

"That's the name of the first emperor. You're here?

"And the Empress. It appears His Royal Highness Prince Therese has been brought here."

"I hear Aura promised. He said he'd cure you of your illness. That's it. I heard you were recovering, but are you still not feeling well?

"I need to hear that. But what I want you to see is not the predecessors, but the names that are written under them."

"Oh, yeah....... hmm?

Keep going. Kamui's eyes nail to the name it says.

"... you're lying, right?

Kamui turned a blind eye, the place was marked with the name of Kanell Stafford.
