Maou No Utsuwa

Kamui tours the villages of each tribe to explain his subordination to the Ruthuan Empire. As Kamui hoped, Hildegand and I acted alone. That said, in fact, the elite of the Republican Intermittent Force is deploying around, which Hildegand doesn't know.

Apart from the matter between the two of us, Kamui and Hildegand are alone, and this is the first time since we've met, rather than since we've been married to act this long. The childmaking trip was supposed to be the first opportunity for both of us to make plenty of time for both of us, even if it was a joke.

"Hilda! Get out front!

"Yeah, I get it!

Far from relaxing and enjoying the trip, a pressing voice echoes in the woods. Kamui forgot. Something so common sense and so important that there was no excuse for it because it was also tired.

Most of the demonic tribes are in the mountainous areas surrounding Nort Ende. Mountain areas are natural barriers that protect Nort Ende. Not only is it rugged, but it's a place where dangerous warcraft can walk wide.

There's no way you can enjoy a relaxing trip in a place like that.

"... the three of us. Can you figure it out?

Running through the grassy woods, Kamui was checking the number of warcraft.

What attacked me was a warcraft with two necks, known as a trio of twin-headed heldogs. A body covered in pitch-black fur is a giant that will be three times lighter than Kamui.

"Intercept!"

"Yes! Okay!

Just out in a slightly open place, Kamui decided to intercept. The legs are much faster than the Warcraft. It's not something you can get away with.

The warcraft, which appeared before the eyes of the Kamuis with their swords, showed the colour of vigilance and loosened their feet in front.

A rough breath of a warcraft called Ha-ha-ha. The two fangs stretching out of the bright red mouth with their sloppy tongues are sharp and about the size of a dagger.

But Twinhead Heldog's weapon is not that fang. It's a agility that doesn't suit a giant and a nail as sharp as a cone stretching out of a limb.

When Twinhead Heldogs, appearing in the front, make use of their weapons and jump high in space with astonishing instantaneous force, they stretch out their forelegs and hit Kamui.

"Sweet!"

This voice of Kamui is not directed at the warcraft that strikes from the front. It's against another piece of shit that's simultaneously going around and attacking me, as if I were aiming to close a gap.

When Kamui stuffed his time with the warcraft in an instant, he snapped his sword aside at once.

"" Geaaaaaaaaa!!

Warcraft screams overlap.

One is the scream of the Warcraft being slammed around with his forelegs cut off by Kamui and rammed to the ground, scattering blood. And the other is where he tried to jump and assault the universe, which is also from a warcraft that is plunged into his nostalgia in an instant by a Hildegand who packed his time and tore his belly apart, falling to the ground and rampaging.

"Ggaaaaaaaa!!

Yet another warcraft scream echoed around. Kamui, who had cut off both forelegs of the one and deprived him of his freedom of movement, immediately hung on the rest of the one.

Moving beyond the agility of Twinhead Heldogs, approaching the Warcraft, he waves down his sword directly from the side and chops one head off his neck. As the momentum continued, the left forefoot was cut off from the base by twisting to the side to slightly cut up the sword.

The scream of the Warcraft turned into a groan and eventually stopped moving.

Patchy Patchy - To the sound of applause that sounded unexpected, Hildegand restarts his sword and leans around.

Kamui seemed to have noticed at first, walking slowly toward those who sound without even showing any particular surprise. Hildegand also followed that back with his sword down.

"That's Lord Supervisor. He's brilliant."

At the end of Kamui, a man appeared hidden in the shadow of a tree.

The man's eyes are red, with long silver-haired hair stretched up to his waist and beautifully shaped that he has just misjudged as a woman. The tribe Kamui was about to meet. It's a vampire man.

I have a compliment to say, but Hildegand feels like he's making a fool of himself somewhere. It's an unpleasant atmosphere that the demons I've met have never felt before.

"Can you show me around?

"Yes, by order of the King."

I heard the man reply. Hildegand's eyebrow roots are frowned upon.

It sounded as if the man's dialogue was saying that he would not guide him without the king's command. And the king this vampire man says is definitely not about Kamui.

"Now let me show you to my clan home."

To put it this way, a man makes a graceful token of the way he wanted to play. That disrespectful attitude finally led Hildegand to move forward to complain, but he couldn't say anything when he realized that Kamui was pointing a meaningful gaze at him.

Even if he returns his dissatisfied face, Kamui just turns his grin and walks after the man in silence as he does. I had no choice but to follow Hildegand.

How much did you walk in the woods? All of a sudden, at the end of the open sight, there was a castle that was certainly too splendid for a bare house, although it did create an old atmosphere.

"It's a Vampio castle. It's called Castle Camilla."

Kamui has whispered to Hildegand, who looks surprised.

"Speaking of vampires, it's the Mito clan, isn't it?

The thought of why men are so disrespectful in the same clan stopped putting it into words. It was a whispering conversation, but at first I was concerned.

"The clan... I don't know what Mito thinks, but the Vampires don't recognize Mito as a clan."

"Why?"

Hildegand has no knowledge of the Vampio tribe. Until now, Kamui has not tried to go into much detail.

"... should we talk about it after all? You hear me, right? I have a consultation."

"What?"

Suddenly Hildegand is confused when asked about things that don't make sense, but Kamui's question wasn't directed at Hildegand.

"... something?

The man who was moving forward, showing a little hesitation, answered.

That also surprised Hildegand. The distance to the men who would move on without worrying about the Kamuis was quite far away. It's a distance you can't possibly hear a whisper.

"Because I'm a vampire"

"... yes"

Special abilities of the Vampio tribe. Kamui, who knows Mito, knew it. The man's attitude, on the other hand, indicates that Kamui did not know he knew what he was capable of. Hildegand felt the presence of a subtle distance between the Kamui and Vampio tribes in this.

"What's the story?

As the man showed a little frustration, he asked for an explanation.

"I want to get some time for a break. Not only did I want to tell Hilda about the situation, but I also wondered if I would meet King Sevens in a dirty body in battle"

Hildegand, who hears next door that King Sevens is the king of the Vampires, could have known.

"... Indeed. Then let the meeting with the king be tomorrow morning, and spend the night in our castle. We'll have a hot water hall, so they'll dust off the trip, but good."

The man has suggested staying at the castle after a little thought. That is a very grateful suggestion for the Kamuis.

"Oh, that's good. It's been a long time since I've had a bath or even slept."

The Kamuis have traveled through mountainous areas where the Warcraft walks wide. Except when he was at the tribal residence, Kamui barely slept in alarm of being attacked. Originally, I don't have much sleep but I'm not tired.

"Then in that kind of step. Well, the castle is already in front of you. Welcome to Camilla Castle."

If you noticed, the castle was approaching. Slowly the sturdy doors of the castle gate open to the left and right, as if to match the voice of the man.

As we proceeded to the bridge on the hill, we saw the people lining the left and right inside the castle gate.

It would have been a welcome. That was not a pleasure for Hildegand. The gaze directed is never favorable. There are even those who have a cold smile as if they despise this one.

If you don't want to, you have to pick me up or something, Hildegand is very angry, but Kamui just shut up and followed me and walked.

Hildegand found out for the first time on this day that not all relations between Kamui and the Demon Nation are going well.

◇ ◇ ◇

It was Kamui and Hildegand, who were welcomed to the castle in a far away manner in favor, but the treatment was by no means bad. On the contrary, it is arguably quite generous, as opposed to attitude.

The rooms that have been put through are quite large, and the condiments that are placed, albeit rarely ancient, are all stunning to admire even Hildegand, who was a grand nobleman's courtier and queen of the Empire. The meal was also served as luxurious and delicious as I wondered how I could prepare all these ingredients in the back of the mountain.

That's not all. Try to make your way to the hot tub where it was arranged as promised, and the lady waiting for you will try to wash her body for you. Hildegand said no more than once that it was just embarrassing, but the maids had no ears to listen to anything the king said, and in the end Hildegand broke and let himself be.

Although Hildegand was the most reluctant at first, the work of the samurai was truly polite and with the tiredness of the journey, Hildegand was to have a time of bliss he had never tasted before.

Hildegand polished up every inch of his body. It's just a shame, that's where one question came up in Hildegand's head.

I wonder what Kamui is doing.

That's the end of the blissful hour. Hildegand will be back in the room early, holding something sprouted to his chest.

When he arrived in his room, Kamui had already finished his bath and relaxed in one hand with wine.

"Welcome home. How did it feel?

Kamui calls out to Hildegand, who entered the room.

"... Yep. Did Kamui feel good?

"Oh. It felt so good"

"I knew it!"

"What?"

I immediately felt the disturbing air of Hildegand, Kamui, but I don't know what it was caused by.

"You felt good, didn't you?

"... uh, did you do something?

He was Kamui thinking hard in his head about what he was angry about.

"... a samurai was waiting in the bathroom"

"Oh, is that it?

Kamui finally figured out where Hildegand's anger came from. There was a natural grin on that face. It's a grin of relief.

"You were there when Kamui came in, weren't you?

"I was there, but when I said I didn't need it, he pulled me up"

"No matter how much I said no, you wouldn't listen to me."

Hildegand stares at Kamui with suspicion.

"Well, if I told you I wasn't going to touch a woman other than my wife, you'd forgive me"

Obviously, Kamui speaks of the dialogue he has just thought about.

"... that's a lie too"

Kamui has a side room called Theresa. Hildegand is also the one who admitted it, but it's a lie not to touch anything but his wife.

"Well, if I told you not to disturb me because I'm going to spend the night alone with my beloved wife, you'd forgive me"

"... liar. No more cheating."

Hildegand's cheek is slightly dyed by Zhu. It's not for the hot water.

"Because this is not a lie"

Kamui slowly moved his face closer as he gently put his hands on Hildegand's cheeks. Overlapping lips and lips. Exhalation leaks out of Hildegand's mouth the moment it leaves.

"... unfortunately, we need to talk about something important first"

"... right"

Hildegand, who looked a little, not quite disappointed, but quickly extended his spine to listen. Such a good Hildegand demeanor is cute, with a grin on Kamui's face.

"Because it's not a meeting seat. Let's have a drink of wine and talk. I think you should drink this. Because I don't know what it tastes like. I don't think so either."

Saying this, Kamui poured wine into the glass and offered it to Hildegand. When it comes to talking about important things, it doesn't change that it's time for the two of us.

Without any unnecessary hesitation, Hildegand receives the glass and carries it to his mouth.

"... delicious"

The surprise slowly spreads across Hildegand's face. It was just wine that would happen.

"Apparently you didn't throw out my tongue either. Now, the Vampires who serve such fine wine, but this is not wholeheartedly following me, just observing a minimum of courtesy to the conductor"

"Yeah. I see that. But why?

There are other races, tribes, that have not even dedicated themselves to Kamui. But the attitudes of the Vampires are completely different from those of them. Nor can Hildegand feel respect for Kamui as the one who unites the Republic.

"The Vampires have a deep relationship with Ray the Demon King. Thoughts on Ray the Demon King are different from other demons, apparently. This is what Aura told me."

"If so, should we not swear allegiance to Kamui more than any other race?

Kamui is recognized by Kamui, the Devil's Sword, a division of Ray the Demon King. Hildegand thinks we should turn our strong loyalty to Kamui, not to mention if we have strong thoughts on Ray the Demon King.

"Actually, my father is a mix of vampires and werewolves."

"... uh, what's that?

Suddenly they say his father is mixed, but Hildegand doesn't know what that means.

"The Vampires value pureblood more than any other race. It is still permissible to mix with people because they have a mission, but mixing with other species is contraindicated. I hear it's gonna be an act of bloodstaining."

"... I mean, the Vampires don't follow Kamui"

"My grandparents are big sinners with contraindications. And the father is filthy himself. I am that filthy son. You can't admit I'm Ray's heir."

"No... But the other demons."

Hildegand didn't know Kamui was supposed to be like this in the Demon Clan. This doesn't seem to Hildegand the same as the people who abused Kamui if they can't use magic.

"It's the same for other demons to honor pureblood, but there are circumstances that you can't be bound by. Master Ryan's Beastman race is typical, because it's a collection of many races. My grandmother, the werewolves, are now the Beasts."

"Because if we don't, we can't leave offspring, can we?

"Yes."

Absolutely fewer Demons. Few species are in danger of extinction, and the Beastmen are a collection of such species.

No one thinks losing pure blood is the same as extinction. But Ryan, the chief of the Beast clan, gave priority to individual demons making families and leaving offspring rather than leaving the blood of the race behind.

"Plus I recognize the Vampires as special and only pure blood as a clan"

"So Mito, but..."

The look on Hildegand's face clouds.

Mito, a mixed race with people, is not recognized as a vampire. Probably not even recognized by the people. I thought it was pathetic.

"We're the clan for Mito. Because Nort Ende is a tribe of the Mitos."

"Right."

Mixed blood, which is not done by either species, is in addition to mites. Kamui, who is physically close to the Vampio tribe, would not be regarded as an animal tribe either. Even if Ryan, the chief, wants me to.

"So tomorrow's meeting could also make me feel bad. Be patient with that."

"... I'll be patient. But why are you here? Do I need to ask someone who hasn't complied?

The Republic is a coalition of races, tribes that have decided to follow Kamui. From what I hear now, the Vampires seem equally Hildegand, even if they do not belong to the Republic.

"I came here because I wanted to ask you something"

"What could that be?

"A thousand years ago, why did Ray, the Demon King, stop fighting along the way"

"... Huh?

Suddenly it's an unexpected thousand years ago, and Hildegand is confused.

"Ray the Demon King dealt with the world, sometimes at a disadvantage, but in the end he said he was fighting pretty well. Then why did Ray, the winning demon king, stop fighting and imitate entrusting the unity of the continent to successive generations?

"Wasn't there still a lot of resistance in the Demon King? It's a time like now when the truth isn't known, isn't it?

"But Ray the Demon King is a different world, not a demon tribe. I also heard that the Demons weren't the only ones who followed them."

Kamui compares himself to the situation of Ray the Demon King.

Even now, when many people find out that the people contain the blood of the demon tribe, there are still many that colourfully inherit the blood of the demon tribe and show resistance to Kamui, the son of the former demon king.

Ray the Demon King, on the other hand, is a different world man. It shouldn't have been a strange position to be considered a brave man.

"... does the Vampires know that?

"The Vampires were Ray the Demon King's biggest supporters. We should have stayed together until the end."

"Yes. But what good would it do to know that?

"What caused Ray the Demon King to give up. We may repeat the same mistake without knowing this. If I'm wrong, I don't want to imitate the same thing I did a thousand years ago."

"... I knew Kamui was Kamui"

There was a slight grin on Hildegand's face. Kamui had not stopped walking. I am acting now for the future without change. I was happy with this.

"... what do you mean? I'm me, right?

"Is there werewolf blood in my blood? So, can Kamui be a wolf?

A light mouth pops out of the lighter Hildegand.

"Oh, you haven't tried that. Let's do it now."

Kamui also came aboard Hildegand's light mouth. The story of his father and the Vampires is not something that Kamui himself talks about and feels good about. I just finished talking about it and wanted to change my mood.

"Being a wolf doesn't mean attacking me."

"... that? Are you tired?

Lightly Hildegand spots Othi, and Kamui is depressed.

"This silver hair is the blood of the Vampires."

Reaching for Kamui's head, Hildegand is rinsing his hair with his fingers. Hildegand liked the color of Kamui's hair, although not a bit of a good impression on the Vampio tribe.

"Yes. The color of the eyes is the werewolf tribe. My appearance only resembles that of my father. Well, I've never even seen that father's face."

Kamui's face is disgruntled. I've always been unconvinced that there's nothing resembling a mother who thinks she's the most beautiful woman in the world.

"Isn't your father's face in the mirror?

Hildegand said this with the intention of comforting him, but Kamui's expression was to be a little cloudy.

"... I meant like a father, so I had one more thing to tell you"

"What could it be?

"Our kids can't use magic. I wouldn't say absolutely, but you better not expect it"

"... why?

"My father couldn't use magic either. It is not known whether the abnormality caused by mixed blood or the nature of the werewolf tribe is out of color. Probably both."

Not only the werewolves, but also the Beasts, cannot generally use external magic, magic that acts on others or on the outside of the body. Magic is harnessed by internal magic such as physical strengthening.

Still, there is more magic in possession than in a human race, and it can't mean that more magic cannot be used in mixing with a human race than being a demon race. Kamui is still unusual.

"... yes"

Hildegand himself doesn't care if a child can't use magic. But I know Kamui was having a hard time with that.

"If the Devil's Sword admits it, it might heal like me. But it doesn't."

The Devil's Sword reacts to negative emotions such as resentment of the world, and vengeance. Because the Devil's Sword itself is of that nature.

Kamui is not going to raise the world into a resentful child in any way. If that happens, the Devil's Sword will never recognize you.

"... I don't care. And Kamui."

Hildegand shook off his dark expression earlier on and smiled at Kamui.

"What?"

"Is Kamui unhappy now?

Kamui gives a hazy look to Hildegand's query. Eventually, the grin slowly spread.

"... speaking of which, I'm happy"

There were hard times when magic could not be used. Sometimes I wanted to die. But there is now beyond that time. Meet someone you're not supposed to meet. This is how I can be facing my beloved, who can't possibly be bound.

"Me too, because Kamui couldn't use magic. This is how I think there is now. I thank my mother and father for bringing Kamui into the world."

"... thanks"

When were you told to thank me for being born? Thus, the only person who spoke clearly to me is the memory of his mother, who died at an early age.

Honestly following the emotions that became uncontrollable, Kamui held Hildegand's body strongly as she drew him. A gasping exhale leaks from Hildegand's mouth in a tight hug.

From here on out...
