Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
07: Machia, the boys sitting in the chair.
"......"
………
A chapel of water, set on the third floor of the royal palace.
Occasionally the bishop of Vabilofos comes and pours the water of the holy life of the sanctuary into the central chalice.
They say there's a pond on the top floor of the castle, and the water coming down from it allows for an in-castle fountain surrounding the water chapel.
It's Machia.
When I was fluttering in the royal palace, I discovered Ulysses in the corner of the chapel.
He just sits back on a wooden bench and listens to the sound of water.
I approached it about time and covered both his eyes with my palms.
"... Maki?
"Around. You'll see soon enough."
"But I was surprised. I had no idea."
"Well... that means you're pretty tired."
Ulysses has been looking really busy here lately.
Aside from Frezil, he has persuaded neighbours in semi-developed countries and diplomacy with small eastern countries, amendments to bills on white magic, and the development of built-in magic weapons. I'm sure you have other problems with that or this that you haven't told us about.
He looks thinner and thinner when he is made of thin pigments.
"You... eating right? Sleeping?"
"Now... I think you've been asleep a little"
No, no, no, no, no.
………
I sat next to Ulysses. He keeps his mouth shut and yawns.
And he smiled, as usual, and looked at me.
"... what's wrong?
"No...... I was free, just trying to get here. Then you were there."
"... yes"
"Hey, Lily, have you been to the Patriarchate lately?
……… ... Not really, maybe not. "
"You missed Perselis, didn't you?
"Yes..."
……
Ulysses laughed somewhere blurry and narrow her eyes.
"But when I went before, she didn't see me. Always have been. Behind the tree... hide."
…………
Oh, my God, I'm impressed, Perselis.
Your ex-husband's daughter-in-law radar is amazing.
"You're stubborn, I'm sure."
"... why?
"Because you've always had your eyebrows in eight letters as if they were attached to your cheeks. I don't know where you're avoiding it... about her."
I stayed the word and pulled on Lily's cheek.
"Yikes..."
"Look, it's an eight letter"
I kept my hands off my cheeks with such momentum that the bumps and sounds rang.
He's keeping his cheeks down with tears.
"It hurts, Maki..."
"Haha, a little swollen? haha."
Ulysses, exhaling loudly, laid her eyes down a little.
Over his soft, light pigmented hair, I can hear his amethyst-colored eyes.
"It doesn't make sense to be strong in front of Maki"
"That's right.... What the hell are you thinking? I know quite quickly what Thor is thinking, but you hide it cleverly. You really seem to be the one who said that... because we're in the king's capital, you can breathe, so tell us what you want."
………
Lili lifts her face straight up, with her neck on the back of a wooden bench, and her eyes as if she were watching it on the other side of the sky somewhere.
Ahead of his gaze, I don't know.
"I... don't remember Perselis because his soul refuses to do so."
"Remember?
"Yes, but... can she stand it if she remembers I'm on her side?"
A grunting voice.
"It was 2,000 years later, and I finally found out... that my own son was dead and embedded in that coffin. That was all, it was so hard and painful. Hatred has sprung up without a place to go. She saw it up close... crying, suffering, despairing. I can only imagine it... just imagine it, and it hurts as if my chest was ripped off."
I can know his pain in every verse of the word.
I was just looking at his hand holding the chest of white clothes.
"... so you look sad?
………
"Perselis said so.... Ulysses recently said he sees himself with a spicy eye..."
I'm sorry.
I know I'm not in a position to say anything to you guys here.
Because I have the culprit.
Lili laughed furiously, correcting her sitting position and stretching her spine as usual.
"... Maki, meet with Perselis once in a while. That kid... because he hardly has any friends the same age"
"... you're out of line. I'm surprisingly timid..."
"That's right. I'm a cowardly, cautious, stone-bridge man. If there's anything at all disturbing, I can't help but worry about what lies ahead."
………
"I'm afraid."
The gaze is straight.
This is the first time I've ever seen him with such a serious face that he clearly speaks of his useless parts.
Ulysses is a person who thinks a lot for a lot of thoughtful minutes and acts as little as he feels.
I am the other way around.
Don't think about it later, because it's something that runs like an emotion... That's why it happened.
"Well...... make time again and go see him. As always...... smile. You can't have a hard face. I'm sure she's expecting you."
"............ yeah"
………
Ulysses' reaction is dull.
But... no. I can't step in any more. I was going to say something more. What is it? I've already forgotten.
Can I still see how things are going? I don't know how they feel.
I don't know the complicated part.
Love is love, but I don't know.
Oh, my God. Talk to me yourself. Tell me more about it.
I wonder if this kind of thing would be better with a toll or something. He's got a lot of experience...
The Red Witch was lonely and single anyway.
How dare you think for yourself and despair of yourself.
"Ah, there you are, Your Highness!!
In the harsh chapel air, a sudden, unproductive shout sounded.
Looking back with his stiff eyes, there's Sir Raymond's figure stepping in slightly with his big crotch.
"Oh, no, Miss Machia. Oh...... was it a date!?
"............ you are well"
"Ha ha, because I have strength "
He's as fresh as ever. You're supposed to be as busy as a lily.
"Uncle, what's wrong?
"Your Highness... a little trouble... of Rare Maida to lay the magic circuit..."
He seems very concerned about my presence, Lord Raymond, who cares about the chills and this one.
Yes, yes, you don't want me to hear it.
I read "It's time to go to lunch - …" and left the spot. I actually thought it would be even lunch with Lily, but I don't seem to have that kind of time.
Lily's face, which I ascertained when I left, still seems serious and complicated. Although the prince had a strong graceful image, it seemed a lot harder.
But I'm a little worried.
Why don't his businessmanship clap and distance him from Perselis.
I wonder what he thinks about Perselis now.
Back in the room, Tor seemed to be sitting and arming on a bench in the shade of a tree just outside the window going out into the garden. I can see your back.
"Wow... surprised..."
I wonder what it is.
I often see boys sitting today.
………
I don't know what I have to do, I guess I've been waiting here, but he's taking something seriously and hasn't noticed I'm coming back to my room.
It was time to come closer and tap the windowsill by his ear with a concon.
Then he looked back as if he was surprised, because it was something that looked kind of strange. I'm a couscous. I laughed.
Hurry up and get out to the garden.
"That's unusual, in such daylight. What's the job of the Demonic Knights?
"...... off today. Yesterday... there was a lot going on."
"Heh..."
He has handed me a single card.
That's a familiar, turtle card.
"... oh, the example“ esca "..."
"That's right. This belonged to yesterday.... Read it."
………
Beasts of the Snow Country
They broke my limbs and I was connected.
Chained to the Black Demon King.
Deep Forest Musas
I peeled off my skin and they drained my blood.
The Red Witch sucked it all.
Spirits of the Lake
deceived and simmered in a pot
The white sage canned me.
Yeah. Scary.
Beyond the door, the Great Demon King.
p.s. I will bring my judgment to the three royal palace general magicians who say they have defeated the giant soldiers. Good luck in the afterlife!!
by Esca
I read it over and over again, creating muscle on my forehead and saying "ho."
"... I've never drained the skin of a fairy tale fairy I've never seen before... I mean, why do I have so many anecdotes of a system jealous of beautiful women? If you're beautiful, you're on time."
……… Uh... these things screw bends with the times. I don't think I have a choice.... Mine is probably sarcasm about you ruling the Demons. Lily's sounds a little like a black joke. I think you're talking about the deal with the fairy.... I can only say I'm sad about you. Why would the Red Witch say bad things if she did it? "
"Well... I've actually done worse than this song."
I lowered my voice and praised my shoulders.
And I'll think about what this card means.
"... this guy knows we're reborn?
I narrowed my eyes and returned that card to Tor.
"I don't think so," he said as he received it.
"I guess I'm just analogy. We are the rebirth of the three great demons, with Lord Raymond and your palace... only marginally informed."
"Well...... The people would compare us to the three great demon kings, but if they really knew that they would... they would be afraid of us like this song. Though I have no choice."
………
Thor said as he stared at the card.
"You know what I mean? Eska's after us.... at dusk is his time of action. Be careful. I had a chance to fight this guy yesterday, but he's pretty handy. I honestly insulted him as a trinket..."
"Huh!? What, you fought this guy?
I remember that silhouette I came across the moment I left the Medithet mansion before.
Thor suppressed his flank somewhere and laughed bitterly.
"He's a white magician who uses spiritual magic. But... you feel uncomfortable somewhere..."
……
"Anyway, be careful. We don't know where they're coming from."
"What... the magic is in the habit of hiding it or something"
"...... use it if you have trouble with boulders. And from tomorrow, I'll be your escort. 'Cause that's what I said. It's a job."
"............ ha"
Thor is out of sight somewhere.
This guy's hiding something again.
Thor and Lily don't like it when they feel like they're ruining me for not saying something important.
and that's when I stunningly found the basket next to Tor.
It smelled slightly better.
"... what is it"
"Ah... I just found it"
Tor puts the basket between me and opens it.
"It's the most popular lunchbox in the first tier of cafes. Sometimes this would be good, wouldn't it? If you stay here, you'll get yourself a good meal."
Inside, a bagel sandwich with raw ham and cheese, tomatoes and lettuce, and two sets of shrimp and salmon, avocado salad and orange carbonated water fit neatly.
"Wow, that's good!! It's like when we went on a picnic in Delia Field."
"......... Royal Palace's elegant course dishes are good, but I knew sometimes you'd want to eat something like this ~"
"First of all, there's something like this."
"We have everything. There are soldiers and officials out in the mall for lunch."
I took out every wrapper bagel sandwich and took a bite.
The sourness of tomatoes and cheese and the sweet umami of raw ham are irresistibly good. Lemon julee sauce.
I kind of feel in the mood as Thor thinks, but I'm not guilty of something tasty.
"Hmmm...... feels nostalgic"
"... yes, you seem to be at Lord Medite's place lately... what are you doing"
"After my white magic lecture at school, I'm watching Ar at my teacher's place."
"... what? Ah-chan?"
"It's Dr. Medite's newborn child. I named it" Acreous. "So, Ar."
"... oh. Sir Raymond, that's an abbreviation."
"You say the same thing as Dr. Medite. It's not good, it's cute."
I opened the lid of a cup with orange carbonation and drank it guzzly.
Summer carbonation is still delicious. Luscia's carbonated water goes well with meals with less sweetness.
"He's a great kid. The magic is over 7,000 mg. It's a little impossible for a normal person, isn't it? Ma, I also feel like the children of those boulders... they seem to see the spirits of the white snakes at Dr. Medite's place properly, and they often grab their tails. My hands are tiny and cute..."
"Ha. I'm surprised you had the sensibility to love a baby."
"... well... since I've been around lately."
Because there was a lot going on.
And then I remembered the lily I just met.
"... hey..."
I'm a little mozy, but I'll cut the story out.
"About Lily and Perselis... what do you think?
…… What's that supposed to mean?
"Lili... I think I'm avoiding Perselis... Because when you're on your side, you might remember."
…………
Thor narrows his eyes, sighs small drinking his own carbonated water.
"Ma... that's what he'd think"
"Hey, okay? Stay like this."
"... it's not a question of what we can say. Besides, you don't know how we feel about each other right now because we're a couple from a previous life."
"............... yeah, but"
I'm holding a cup of carbonated water with my hands and my index finger.
"I'm not saying that we should be tied to what was tied in our previous lives, nor should we be tied in this world. Before, now... and then it's up to you..."
"You're light... well, you were full, full"
"Do you dislike..."
Tor has an awkward face and drinks chicken and carbonated water.
I put the cup next to it, took the bagel sandwich, cheeked it, and swallowed it very badly even though it didn't chew much.
It's on me. Seriously, cluttered eating I haven't tasted.
Then you... you say that that princess who betrayed you, if she shows up in front of you again, has no obsession or untrained.
You cared so much.
I did, swallow the words I wanted to say to Thor, along with the bagel sandwich.
Wipe and lick the lemon jule on your lips with your thumb.
Sweet and sour.
I can't imagine Lily avoiding Perselis because she's separated from her previous life.
Is it because you are obsessed that you have a blatant way of avoiding being like him?
Even Perselis thinks of Lily specially even though she doesn't have any memories of her previous life.
Isn't there a soul connection there that doesn't show?
Aren't the memories of a previous life, untrained, obsessed, making them nervous?
That's for the better and the worse.
I envy you.
There was no such person in the Red Witch.
So somewhere, I have myself looking at those two with a mixed eye I admire. It's like a maiden in love.
I'm not going to say that love is forever.
No one has the right to blame you for living another life with someone else if you were reborn.
But I'm just, I'm just jealous.
Those two just don't hang up.
