Maou No Utsuwa

The Rusua Imperial Army, led by Dettore, the brave man of the Empire, hastily retreated. But this didn't defeat the entire Ruthua Imperial Army. Opposite the castle fort, the battle continues on the east side. That too, on the part of the Union of Kingdoms of Sidvest, has already moved on to a time-efficient battle to consider retreating.

We know that the Ruthua Imperial Army, led by Dettore, is also a temporary retreat and will eventually return. Just because Dettore was injured, the army itself leaves a number with nothing wrong with continuing the fight. There is no doubt that the final settlement on this battlefield will end with the victory of the Ruthuan Empire.

We know that. The Union of Kingdoms of Sidvest has stopped using the original retreat route and is preparing to withdraw from the vacant west. Because it can be lowered back more quickly.

While preparations are under way for its retreat. Serene was facing Kamui a little awkwardly.

"Um... thanks"

"What's that special attitude? You don't look like a cele."

"'Cause it's just annoying to Kamui..."

Otto told me and I was going to show my intentions, but I ended up being helped again by Kamui. Selene was ashamed of herself for being so sweet to Kamui.

"There's no need for Sele to care about that. Me and Sele."

"... yes, but"

Otto has made an effort to gain the strength to fight. In comparison, Serene has the thought of whether she can be said to be one of Kamui's people who has done nothing.

"So never mind. It's hard on Celle."

"... Yes?

"Sele. I'm sorry. I finally know how terrible I've been doing to you."

"... Hey, Kamui. What did you do?

Serene doesn't remember Kamui saying this to me. I suspect that something was being done without my knowledge.

"It's a disqualification for a father to let a child grow up alone, isn't it?

"What? About what?

"Let me even name Dee. Sorry about that. Not only did I leave you alone, I even made you lie."

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

Increasingly, Serene becomes confused because she doesn't understand the reason.

"Sele. Because you don't have to fall in love anymore. It was my fault. From now on, I'll protect Sele."

"Chi, hey!? What!?"

Kamui turned her hand around Serene's waist and hugged Serene as she drew to herself.

"... ka, kamui. No, I can't."

"I won't let go anymore. From now on, let's live together as a family."

"...... so kamui"

I have no idea what Kamui is thinking, Serene. It's just confusing. What reached that Serene ear.

"You know what... I'm pretty much a clown, right?

"What...?

He was the cold voice of Deefleet, who was approaching at some point.

"I'm sorry you cheated. I didn't have the strength to take Sele and the kids back then."

"Hey Kamui!?

Serene raised her voice in surprise at Kamui affirming Deefleet's mistake.

"Sele. Because it's good enough. From now on, I will support Sele and the child. There's no use for a man like this anymore."

"... kamui"

Apparently Kamui is not just kidding. I see that. Serene no longer knows how to react.

"... what can I do for you?"

"Oh. No use. I've never had anything to do with it before."

"... that would have been fun."

"No, the other way around. It's hard but it's boiling back."

"What?"

There was no room for Deefleet to think about the meaning of Kamui's words. Kamui moved in front of himself in an instant. Not even given a moment of surprise at it, Deefleet blew back under intense shock on his cheek.

"I didn't think you'd be so stupid"

Whimpering in the wind of heartbreaking, Kamui approaches the falling Deefleet. Deefleet looking up at that Kamui with a surprising look on his face.

"Ah... Gu..."

Kamui stepped on the head with his feet and pressed it to the ground.

"Kamui!? Stop!"

Though Serene hurries to raise her voice of restraint.

"Serene, shut up! I'm not gonna listen to you right now!

…………

I can't say anything to Kamui's words anymore. What Kamui called himself. Serene knows what that means.

"You can't even believe your own wife? If you gave up a hundred steps and were fooled by a crappy lie, why aren't you trying to get Serene back?

…………

"I know. You can't. You're afraid to be ashamed. So I'm always pulling a step back and pretending to watch things with my cold eyes"

"... no"

Deefreet has rebelled against Kamui's words.

"Then say how it's different. What did you do after the death of Princess Sophilia?

"I gave Claudia some advice. Because of that, they were going after my life."

I told Claudia that I knew the truth about Princess Sophilia's death. I advised him to stop asking for the throne. Deefleet wasn't doing anything.

"You didn't advise me. I just threatened Claudia to be free. Don't expect Claudia to have the means to assassinate you."

But Kamui denies Deefleet's words. Deefleet did give Claudia some advice. But he said it was to make him give up his engagement, not to stop Claudia's ambition.

"... I couldn't take Princess Sophilia's death back then."

"So I threw everything out and tried to ask Serene for healing, don't you say?

"... that's not true"

I tried to get Serene to comfort me with the grief of other women's deaths. Deefleet can't go on like this.

"You, why did you dictate Serene? I'm guessing it's not out of your mind to take Serene from me, is it?

"That can't be right!

"Well, try to prove it? How could it have been Serene? Why didn't you try to keep Serene on hand when you graduated?

"It's..."

If you ask me that, I can't answer you right away. Deefreet worries about how to explain his thoughts in college.

"What a star. You didn't like Serene or anything."

During that silence, Kamui decides what he affirms.

"No!"

"Well, explain..."

"Stop it already!

It was Serene screaming that blocked Kamui's words from seeking further explanation from Deefleet.

"... stop it already. You've had enough, haven't you? Don't hurt us any more."

Serene complains to Kamui, spilling tears from his eyes. Kamui against the Serene.

"Well, that's what I'll stop you from doing. Shall we go to conclusions?"

"What's the conclusion?

"I'll let Serene choose me for her old friendship. You kill this man and you come with me, and you keep this man alive. As always, you stay with this man. Which one do you want?

"... what are you talking about? I don't know what that means. I'll be with Dee."

Killing Deefleet and going under Kamui is not an option for Serene. Serene naturally chose to keep Deefleet alive.

"Right. Then this is it. Serene is not one of us."

"... kamui"

Serene has no idea what Kamui is thinking. This wasn't how it used to be. Such thoughts depend on Serene's breasts. At the same time, Kamui is right about the thought that he is not one of us.

"Well, now I have no reason to shy away from you. I'm going to have to put on a drop on what you've done."

Awesome kamui turning back to Deefleet.

"Do you want me to stop? The man is the ally to us. No more foolish imitations."

It's the Bacchus of the Ryans who have been interrupting there.

"... I won't allow it. You're the one fooling around about me?

"Ha! Half a dozen of you... guh!

Bacchus couldn't speak until the end. Kamui's toe stuck in his abdomen. Kamui's fist is slapped on Bacchus' back as he pressed his belly further and nodded. Bacchus fell and fell on the spot.

"Weak. You can call me half-baked often with that? I'm gonna lose to that half-wit. What are you?

Pushing his sword tip against Bacchus' neck, Kamui spits words mocking Bacchus as he restrains his surroundings.

"… Ki, you"

"Did you really think we'd fight the brave guys with this? You have no idea who the brave man is?

"... what is that?

Bacchus frowned at Kamui's inquiry, looking suspicious. Bacchus doesn't know what it means to dare ask who the brave man is.

"... what do you really not know? You're useless."

"What!?

Kamui also thinks that the identity of the brave is divine tribal entanglement, but he doesn't know any more. Bacchus induced me not to know or, if I did, to break my mouth, but I ended up failing.

"Ok, Full, Fareg, Offiel, Betol. What do you know about this name?

"... I remember hearing"

"Whoa? Remember. That's the name of the Empire's brave men. There are two more, but these two haven't finished the selection ritual and haven't changed their names."

"… seven. No way!?"

Bacchus with a stunned look. Even though I know this will happen, this reaction is not desirable for Kamui.

"Did you have any idea?

…………

"I don't hesitate to torture you."

Aurs on this matter. Few words from the demons of Nort Ende. The reaction, on the contrary, made Kamui see who the enemy was, but it was only a guess and there was nothing to prove.

This could be the time to get that evidence.

"You think you're going to succumb to that threat?

"It's not a threat. You have no reason to hesitate for me to kill you, do you?

"... then kill him"

I heard it wasn't a threat. This is Bacchus' response. The secret of giving up your life until you protect it. Even so, it can be a lot in the devil tribe.

"Is that mean? Or a contract?

…………

"You can tell me about this, can't you?

"... a contract"

"Right."

If it's a contract, Bacchus won't crack his mouth. No matter how many threats you make.

"Well. If my word is true, do you guys keep fighting like this?

I know the answer. There is no way that the Bacchus, who have a much stronger hold on being demonic than some of the Nort-Ende races, can fight their own roots, the Divine. Whatever the Divine Clan thinks, they think they're compatriots. It can be the shield that protects their pride when it falls to the ground.

"... I can't fight. If it's true."

Bacchus' gaze turned to the Lem of the Circubus clan. Having received that gaze, Rem walked away from the scene with his fellow countrymen. I went to find out if Kamui's words were true.

"Can I ask you one thing? Why can't you fight this brave man when you can fight a brave man with protection?

…………

"I think I taught him something pretty important. How would it have been if we'd been fighting without knowing anything?

"... those protected are human beings."

"I see. It was helpful"

The answer as Kamui thought it would be. Still, it was one piece of evidence in support of the idea. The brave men of the Empire have even changed their personality. Then whose personality is it?

"Well, does this invalidate Deefleet's contract with you guys?

"... depending on who he intends to fight"

"It was. I will save your life. What would you do if I told you this? You want to throw everything away again and run?

Kamui's question goes to Deefleet. Deefleet, who has already stood up, doesn't try to open his mouth with Kamui staring.

I'm thinking about what Kamui thinks and what kind of answer he wants.

"Not that I'm the one, but what do I want to do?

Reading the Deefleet's thoughts, Kamui made another inquiry with a shuddering face.

"... fight. I haven't lost yet."

"Where are you going to fight that?

"Ruthua Empire...... I'm also going to fight the Republic if I have to"

Hostile declaration towards Kamui. At last. If I wanted to fulfill Deefleet's ambitions, I would have fought one day.

"Right. Then do it. The next time we meet on the battlefield, we'll be enemies. At that time, I'm not going to let it end in the middle of nowhere. Well, you're free to do whatever you want."

"Oh. You don't have the muscle to complain about Kamui."

"Well, this one pulls up. You should hurry if you want to pull it off too."

"That would be an extra favor."

"That's right"

Gently shrugging his shoulders, Kamui turned his back on Deefleet. Kamui tries to head straight to where his own army is waiting.

"Kamui!"

It was Serene who stopped it.

"What?"

"... Um, thanks"

"I don't know why you're thanking me. Isn't this where you complain?

"I got your help."

"I knew there was no reason to be thanked. I moved because my dear companion wanted to do something about Serene. I just lived up to the feelings of those people. Not for you."

"Ah..."

The look on Serene's face when I heard Kamui say it clouds. It's something I had already felt, but when people declare that I'm not one of them in this way, my chest still hurts.

"This is the last time. That concludes my relationship with Serene. He was originally just a classmate, but he was a pretty good friend. This was a good opportunity to liquidate it."

"... yes"

"It's better not to be on the battlefield anymore. Serene has no power to fight. You've already figured that out."

…………

I don't have the power to fight. Serene was told this by Kamui, with different words, but for the second time. I should have felt sorry for you then. But Serene was reminded once again that she was nothing different now than then. Reaching out, he said he had turned away something that might have arrived because of his own laziness.

Kamui's back turns away. Serene had already lost the language to speak on that back.

◇ ◇ ◇

Kamui walks to his own army, annoyingly removing the armor he was wearing. Next to it was Marie, who had already taken off her armor and looked like a robe.

"Absolutely. I just had a meal with you."

"A meal for what? I didn't ask for anything like that."

Kamui replied to Marie's complaint, looking more dissatisfied than that.

"Is this a good idea?

"What else do you have besides this? You don't have to kill him here. Deefreet is likely to die in the battle ahead. Anyway, Serene resents me."

Kamui has no intention of helping Deefleet. I have a use for it, so I'm just keeping it alive.

"Serene could die, too, right?

"... that's Serene's chosen path. I'm not saying anything around me about what I've decided."

"Because I induced you to choose that, didn't I?

"I don't remember guiding you"

"You're lying. You didn't want Serene in the fight. So I thrust Serene, after planting my distrust of Deefleet. Even if you stay under Deefleet, you two will surely take a distance. I was hoping you could live a long way from the battlefield."

"I think too much. You can't be right about that, can you?

Kamui immediately denies Marie's allegations. I couldn't see Marie reacting in such a way that she could explore her true intentions.

"... haven't you been able to?

"Even if you were imposing, what's that? We just have to move on. I can't afford to look back."

The last word was directed at Otto, who was waiting with the troops. At least that's what Otto received.

"... sorry. That was unnecessary."

Otto uttered an apology, distorting his face as he seemed sorry. Here's the result of getting on track at Nori in college. Otto found out that sometimes it's good to remain in a halfway relationship.

"... no. You're right to worry about Serene, who Otto was close to, and want to do something about it. Otto is not wrong as a person. I can cut off my classmates. I'm more unusual."

"Kamui......"

A masochistic grin on Kamui's face. I didn't think Otto was cutting it off fine. Otto thought that he had decided to abandon the country and act as he thought he would, but he still had something to carry. He said one of them might be himself. That is the joy and regret.

"Mito!"

"Ha!"

Kamui stops talking to Otto and calls Mito. The look is back in severity. It's a token of switching feelings to public ones.

"Spread the information. Kamui Kreutz moved west with the Allied Coalition Forces of the Kingdom of Sidvest. He said he was going to join the Kingdom of Oppenheim and fight the Ruthuan Empire."

"Okay."

"Also a decree to the Kingdom of Schutz Alten. Entering a war with the Ruthuan Empire. He told me to get in shape."

"Ha."

"Let's go! The path is west! You're gonna be a forcible army on the way!

"" "Whoa!!
