"Oh, my God. Did the King really do that?The King thought about the people and believed that you were a smart and good governor... "

I still can't believe I'm asking Deggle.

"You won't believe it, but it's all true.But you seem to be being taught lies. "

Mao-chan nodded with her arms together.

Judging by the two of them, it seems that what we're talking about is true.But even if I knew it in theory, I wouldn't try to understand the other person in my head.

Quach III. My parents have taught me many times since I was a child that I am the king of the kingdom of Wistaria, a very fine and wonderful man.How wonderful things have been done and how prosperous this country has been thanks to Kutch III.It is true that I principally respected Quatch III.But was it even painted with lies?

"... I knew there was a woman named Shizuka behind Quatch III, but I didn't think she was the culprit.And I didn't know you were brainwashing.Neither did my concubine.Deggle knows that well. "

That's right, I'll talk to Ma-chan.

"Hey, Mao-chan.Are you sure you've been under house arrest for seven years?

Oh, yeah.

"Did the King really break people apart or kill them with cruel punishment?

"Oh, it's true.My concubine has heard from several asylum seekers. "

"Evidence? Evidence?

When I noticed, I was approaching Mao-chan.

What has been imprinted since I was a child cannot be easily removed from my head.

"... because several asylum seekers have said the same thing, there is no doubt that our demons have come to the conclusion."

"Mao-chan didn't actually see it, did she?I don't know what I ate. "

That's true, but...

Mao-chan also seems to be in trouble.There was a little silence and Deggle opened his mouth.

"... if you can't believe it, you should just go see Alisa."

"So, Deggle!?You can't do that!

Mao-chan was in a hurry and yelled at Deggle.Deggle nods.

"Yes. Alisa will definitely go to jail."

"Eh, I...?As punishment for not bringing Mao-chan here?

"No, it will be forgiven.Sentenced to death and imprisoned for another reason. "

I still keep my mouth wide open when I say I can't believe it.

Deggle stares me in the eye.

"If Alisa really wants to see Quatch III, I'll give you two tips.Whatever happens, you should never use magic.You should not say that Vargis is a magician.No one in the castle knows that you have a powerful magic like Vargis, nor has it even been told that you were summoned as a magician by a mistake in the Message.Prisons that can be put in will also be loose surveillance for ordinary death row inmates.Get out of there. "

I wonder why. A mysterious sense of tension surrounds me when I look at Deggle and I absolutely have to obey what he says.I feel like being inhaled.

"Deggle really knows everything.I see, I'm going to go to jail anyway, but it's safer if I keep both of them. "

Mao-chan starts talking too.

"Once convicted and escaped from prison, you will no longer have a place in this country.Then seek refuge in your concubine's kingdom.I'll be waiting for you. "

"Yes, but when I'm displaced, my family..."

"I can't care less about things like that.That's what you're going to be.Instead, if you want to save your family, you need to evacuate the whole family now. "

"Wow, I just have to follow the king's orders!"

Mao-chan is seriously talking about Deggle being too insignificant, so I'm going to have a rough time.

It sounded like you were talking about something unrealistic that would never happen.

But when you look at them, it makes you feel as if you're wrong.Those two people are seriously looking at my face.

"But if Mao-chan doesn't like it so much, I'll go alone..."

"All right, I got the word."

Mao-chan stands up.

"My concubine will now unseal this dragon on the outskirts of Esteek and return to the Kingdom of Harmony.You go to Quatch III tomorrow, as ordered.But to tell you the truth, I don't want you to see him, and I want you to come with me from the beginning. "

"Eh, Mao-chan is leaving!!

"... my concubine has been here too long.Your concubine's stay has caused you trouble.The kingdom of concubines will be confused without a king now.I can't stay here any longer. "

"Mao-chan..."

Because I like Ma-chan.I want you to stay with me forever.

I was going to say that, but I was also told that it was not the air to say such an easy thing.

There is still a conflict between Mao-chan and the human country, and if Mao-chan is forced to stop here, one big country will perish.

I nod small, weeping.

"Mao-chan really didn't like being here either..."

"That's not true.The time I spent seeing you became a treasure for my concubine.I'll never forget the last five days. "

"... Mao-chan."

Mao-chan keeps coming closer to me.

"My concubine was in the position of a royal family, and I had many political contacts.That's when you treated your concubine like a man of equal size.Only one of the people around me feared his concubine, the Demon King. He was not afraid of his concubine, and when he scolded him, he scolded him and trusted his concubine.You are a special person to my concubine. "

"Mao-chan..."

Why? I don't know why, but my tears won't stop.

Looking at that, O-chan put her knees on the ground and grabbed my face with both hands.

What?

Mao-chan slowly brings her face closer to mine.

Na... na...

I like Ma-chan and I have hugged her many times, but I am troubled if I can come here in a hurry.I'm in a hurry.

Don't panic.

Mao-chan's breath is on my face.

My body can't move.It's not magic or anything, but the feeling that boils from my own heart is solidifying my body.

Mao-chan's face is approaching.Just thinking that I couldn't escape anymore, I closed my eyes with my thoughts.

Mao-chan's tongue feels like licking my cheek.

The tears on my cheeks are peeling off.

Instead of tickling, something else explodes and my face is burning.

After licking it all the way, Mao-chan stood up with her hands off my face.

"... this is the custom of the demon clan.Lick and comfort your tears when your dear friend is crying.You are my concubine's friend. "

My heart is pounding.

I stared up at Mao-chan's face, staring softly.

"Ah... ah, that doesn't mean anything to you.Don't get me wrong. "

Mao-chan added in a hurry and fluttered her face.

As I watched, I laughed.It seems to have settled down a little.

"Yeah. Mao-chan thinks I'm important to you.I'm sure I'll see you again. "

I'll show you a smile.Mao-chan laughs too.

"Oh, my concubine and you will see each other again.You live. Come alive to the kingdom of your concubines. "

"Okay. I don't think the king will do anything terrible, but if anything happens, I'll go to Mao-chan's country."

Hmm.

That's how Ma-chan opened the window across the bed.

The cold wind in the middle of the night shakes my hair.

Mao-chan jumps out the window.

The back of it was clearly in my memory.

I went to the window, and as I left the school, I kept following you with my eyes until I couldn't see you.

Mao-chan. I'm sure we'll see each other again.
