After a short break in my room, I decided to go with Sif to the captain's office. [M]
I wanted Hakuro and the others to take their time in the room and say hello to Leon and Iris for now.
"Ah, Lord. Nice to meet you."
"Hello."
"I'll see you for the first time...."
Walking down the hallway, I'm already crossing paths with the little black animals.
Let me tell you that the ship is already flying in the sky, and everyone is moving like hell, and it was a pretty smiling sight.
"Excuse me."
"Ah, here you are. Mr. Kite."
"Wouldn't it be nice if I took a little more rest?"
Mr. Leon will welcome me as soon as I enter the Captain's office. [M]
The captain said that he was a temporary captain.
Sif's brothers in the steering compartment noticed me starting to groan.
"Okay, okay, calm down. If you stop, you'll lose control of the ship."
"That's how you're going to talk to the Lord alone!"
"That's right, that's not good!"
"It's tyranny!"
"I'm your biological parent...?"
What a smiling little animal.
It was a black rabbit that was steering with a small hand and small animals that tuned with Lara, but one of them turned his dissatisfied gaze towards Lara.
"But the chief can't say more."
"No mercy for traitors."
Mia!?
"Ah, here. Don't fight."
Unexpectedly, the small animals return to their work at once.
"" "Stop!!" "
"It's amazing how well you can tell...."
Shif looks slightly pulled.
I wonder if that's how enthusiastic it is to work.
It's not long since I woke up, but they're amazing... they're as smart as Sif and Al.
"Amazing teamwork. Mr. Leon."
"I'm the beast of God, but I don't want to defy you.... now I can feel more freedom than the limbs of Melia..."
?
Ah, ahahaha
Leon, who laughed deceptively, stood up after he turned his gaze to Elise, who was standing beside him.
"We're on our way to Hendir Kingdom. I'll be there in about two days, so I hope you're taking your time."
"Two days... you're early."
"Fufufu, you're going so fast that you can spend comfortably, it's actually getting slower."
That's right...
Sure, there's no big shake at all.
Even so, it is very early to arrive in two days, so we have to think about the future.
"I have to report to Jessica...."
"Oh, I'll explain the details to her. She's one of us."
Really?
"Ah, the kingdom of Hendir is also a kingdom deeply connected to the beast of God."
If so, what kind of god beast did I have to do with it before I came? [M]
Is it still Melia?
"But I have to tell her she's safe, so it's the same."
"That would be better."
Jessica must be worried too.
Besides, there are a few things I have to do when I get back.
"Is Enris ready to meet with the Guild Leader?"
"Uhh...!? Ah, ahh..."
Suddenly, Iris was struck by a surprise.
First of all, I thought it would be fine if we could take the first step, but it wouldn't be good for us to rush and clutter strangely...
If it's difficult, would you like to start with a letter?
"No, no...."
"If it's still too early... I'll keep you posted."
"Please don't do that...!! I feel like you're about to make an unexpected misunderstanding...!"
Oh, really?
I leaned my neck to Mr Iris, who was desperate to say so.
"I don't know what to say... I don't even know what to say."
... I've been discussing it as a family for over a decade, so it's only natural that I don't know what to say.
Fortunately, there are no bad feelings about each other's perceptions.
"If you don't know what to say, someone who's with you might be able to sort of defuse the tension."
"Really...?"
"Yeah."
Nod to Mr Iris.
Two more than one.
"I'll help Bersen, and Nia and Rifa will help you."
"I'm sorry. I'm only worried about my support...!!"
"Well, ask Chisato--"
"I'm not very involved, but I think she's worse than Nia, so please stop!"
It's amazing how you say that...
Recently, I've come out with various ingredients, and my sense of language is going to be terrible.
"I'm pretty reliant on you. You've been joking a lot lately."
"I wonder if she's joking..."
Huh?
"Oh, it's nothing."
Turning around, Mr. Leon would return it as usual.
"Speaking of which, where is Mary on this ship?"
"What's wrong with me?"
Someday she answers Melia who stands next to her.
"Oh, I wonder where you're usually on the ship."
"We are using a room on board. I'll look around and show you around."
"Yes, it is."
"Yeah, that's right. Fufufu"
Does it mean that Melia still lives in the room?
After confirming that Mary had disappeared again in the blink of an eye, I turned towards Leon and Iris again.
Sounds like it.
"Aren't you accepting too much...?"
"Isn't it strange to accept pure magic faster than its magic...?"
When I get used to it, I don't really care.
I don't feel my gaze except when I need it.
"Well then, I'll see Mao next. You're in the studio, right?"
"Ah, she likes touching magic tools. I'll go and see you."
We have time to get to Hendir Kingdom, and we need to talk to her.
Exit the steering room and walk down the aisle to Mao's workshop.
"Ah, Kate."
Nia, I woke up from a nap.
"Would you stop saying nap?"
Encounter Nia in the aisle.
I wonder if my sleeping habit stayed the same or if I was taking a nap just now.
In the meantime, I'll tell you that I have a sleeping habit, and I'll tell you that I'm going to the studio where Mao is.
"I'm going to go to Mao, where are you?"
"I was just taking a walk. Can I come with you?"
"I don't mind. Ah, I'm going to the studio for the first time, so can you show me around?"
"I'll take care of that!"
Nia pulls her hand and walks down the aisle.
It feels like a father who brought a child to the amusement park.
"This is it!"
We'll be in the studio in a few minutes.
I try knocking in front of a door of the same design as the others.
"Mao, are you there?"
Knock on the studio door.
From the inside, you can hear both the chatter and the refraining voice.
Well, go ahead.
"Yeah, I'm coming in."
When I opened the door, the parts of magic tools and so on were scattered in the room, and Mao was sitting at a table that seemed a little wary.
"Sit there."
"Hmm? Oh, you've prepared it for me. Thank you."
"Hey, who am I?"
I only have one chair and not Nea's.
Mao raised her eyebrows in a mood and pointed straight at the floor.
Shiro is on the floor.
…… Kate, you can sit down. "
"Eh, but...."
"It's okay."
When I sat in the chair with a strong tone, Nia jumped up to sit on my lap and wondered what she thought. [M]
"This won't be a problem! Beetle."
"...!!!!"
"Hey, I'm not gonna fight about this anymore."
Mao releases a sword-swallowing atmosphere to Nia.
They both look like children, but Nia is about to forget something as old as I am. [M]
Rather, Nia's ears twitched across her vision, and in the first place...
"Nia, aren't you embarrassed? I'm embarrassed."
"... ha!? Ah, ahhhh!?"
"You returned it to me... you can't pull it back later..."
Nea turned her face bright red enough to be seen later.
While laughing bitterly at her appearance, she desperately shakes her head to the side as she tries to get off.
"No, no! Just stay like this!!"
"No, but...."
"Just...!!"
Such a temper... I wonder what would get her so far...
In the meantime, while Nia is sitting on her lap, she faces Mao.
This is a strange sight you don't have to think about.
……
But he was the Devil King.
It's a complicated mood, but I know it's pretty weird considering that this kid doesn't have parents.
"Are you familiar with life here?"
"... yeah"
Let's start by communicating with you for the first time with a few simple questions.
While feeling comfortable with what you've answered, I'll keep asking questions.
"Are you eating properly?"
"... yeah"
"Sleep well?"
"... a little"
"No? I need to get some sleep. I can't grow any taller."
"Uh-huh... be careful..."
Normally, it's good to know.
Mao nods happily.
"No, Mother!!"
So Nia on her lap suddenly makes such an imminent bluff.
Bi, I'm surprised...
"Who's Mom?"
"I didn't say that, but I did!! The questions are almost the same as my mother!?"
"Nia, calm down. Kate didn't realize..."
"You've given up on Shif too...."
Have you cared too much...?
No, I don't know how far I can talk to Mao.
"Well, let's get back to it. Mao"
Yeah?
"Why did you become a demon king?"
"... haven't you heard from Mr. Leon?"
"I thought I should hear it from you."
I was able to hear from Mr. Leon, but I don't know what to talk about in strange places.
I trust her, but in this case, her credibility has decreased somewhat.
…… Okay, I'll talk to you. "
Mao nodded bewildered and talked about the situation until he became a demon king.
I lost my parents when I was young, and I was left alone.
Even though I was young, I had the talent to make magical instruments, and I was obsessed with it.
And someone who didn't care about his own talent kept using it.
"I know I did the wrong thing. But I didn't want to be alone."
"And you wanted to be praised?"
"... yeah, not everyone..."
So it's a mystery to judge me and Io's parents.
I can't deny that I feel that way.
"Melia, tell your sister you'll forgive me."
"Merliah, are you sure?"
"Yes, it's true."
"Wah!?"
When I heard it on the spot, I heard Melia's affirmative voice from behind.
I'm surprised that Nia sitting on her lap is about to jump, but I sigh bigger than that.
"I'm not going to use this kid."
"I'm sorry I imitated you. And I will punish you like this."
"No, you don't have to do that...."
"Really... I'm sorry..."
Too bad...?
Turning around, Merliah wasn't there anymore.
Turning forward while twisting his neck, Mao was there looking neat.
"Well, it was Leon's fault that you did this, but you were definitely the Devil King."
"... I'm sorry."
"Yeah, so don't forget that, I think you should do what you want to do from now on."
"What do I want to do?"
I hope that Mao herself will find out what she wants to do from now on, instead of deciding the way forward for this child like the one who used Mao or Mr. Leon.
Of course, instead of leaving all of a sudden, we can all help.
I can't be your father.
"Eh... I don't like it."
I didn't expect to be rejected normally.
Conversely, I would be surprised to see an emotional expression of despair that I did not expect you to say.
"Instead, be friends."
"Friends?"
"We can discuss each other's problems with the same eyes."
Otherwise it would be like me and Chisato... no, you gave me the wrong example.
Rifa's my buddy... is that it? Do I have few boyfriends? Rick feels respectable and doesn't feel like a friend...
Besides, there's Nia here.
"What? Kate, why should I be this kid's friend?"
"Pure magic shock"
Funnyaaa ~
Put your hands on Nia's shoulder, gathering the magic of the Pure Demon, and weaken her.
Mao hesitated to call out to her as she supported her as if she were about to fall like a cat.
Well then, can I come and see you? Isn't that annoying? "
"Of course. It doesn't bother me."
There are too many things to interact with other people, and I am showing a little hesitation when talking to people.
This won't stop overnight, but with the help of everyone around us, including me, we'll be able to do it.
When I nod, Mao smiles small. [M]
"Thank you... Dad"
"Is that why you're not my father?"
I've told you so many times, but it's not like that.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Mainly on me.
