Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)

16: Machia, on the way home from the Patriarchate.

I still seemed angry.

'Cause Thor's back and something we haven't had a decent dialogue with yet.

Thor shows up in front of me with that hand trying to apologize to me, but I treat him unilaterally as a pervert.

That's how I've been running away from Tor the last few days.

Well, after meeting Perselis in the diocese, I got Esca a mysterious video lacrima, what do we do?

You think there's footage of Princess Chatma and General Cannon of Frezier in this?

To the boulder, this will have to be seen with Tor. Should it be time to make up with Thor?

"Oh, but it's annoying..."

Even though I broke my promise, it doesn't mean Tor has all the nothings. I know that.

Still, if I get angry, there's nothing I can do.

On my way back to the royal palace, I breathed in my cold hands as I looked down at the king's capital from the slopes I had climbed for a long time.

"... hey"

"... out"

Tor ascended as if he had been ambushing.

It's like this lately, because I keep treating suspicious people or because every true suspicious person suddenly shows up before me.

"Come on now, you can make me apologize."

………

"I'm not letting you through here until you hit me."

………

What is it? This unfortunate and pathetic feeling. I feel sorry for you by accident, and I think it's time to hit you, forgive you.

But I also feel like I still want to be angry, so I turn to Hung and turn back to ignore him and go back another way.

"Hey, wait Machia!!

"Don't follow me, you stalker. Lepis, Noah, stop him."

"... Roger, Master Machia."

Lepis and Noah fluttered the black robe and stood between me and Tor.

"Hey, you guys, you're going to betray me"

"I'm sorry, Master Tor. For once, we are the escorts of Master Machia."

"You're my descendants."

"... well for once. But your ancestors, who have always been far away, are the Black Demon King, and you are, well... almost someone else."

"Lepis, come on... it's a little cold on me, hey, Noah"

"... eh"

The three of us are having such a conversation, which keeps us away.

I'm really sorry about both of you. Noah, in particular, seems to be haunted by this inexplicable situation.

I was going to walk down a maze of shopping corridors connected to the castle and back to my room from a different path than usual.

But the shops at this hour are very tempting with drinkers that royal palace officials eat and drink.

"... hah..."

It smells so good. Bird skewer shops, fried goods shops, baked fish shops, etc. turn into drinkers during the day when shops that are general caterers turn into drinkers at night. Going to the more side of the royal palace, a luxury restaurant is built, but this neighborhood is still close to common people's homes, with a bit of an affordable and rustic line of drinkers. My stomach reacts a lot because I haven't eaten these common foods lately.

I'd love to eat one of these once in a while.

"No, no, no, you can't. If we don't get home soon, Thor will catch up."

What are you going away for and back to the royal palace?

I went further down the narrow alley where I entered.

It was when I turned a certain bend.

I bumped into people all of a sudden and fell back.

"Yikes ~...... eh"

With a buttcake I ascertained who had the same buttcake in front of me.

He's a stranger wearing a brown cape and a hood.

"Hey, where are you looking and walking!!

You were probably in a hurry yourself, and I complain.

That guy was a little behaving suspicious, but when he looked at me, he showed an attitude that he remembered something, so I said,? "and flaunt his face.

"Hey there he is!!

I heard voices from afar. Soldier-like men are pointing this way.

The Hood guy grabs my arm for some reason and runs off the spot and tries to escape.

"Hey, hey... eh"

Shit, I got caught up in something weird. That's all I know!!

No, please don't I'm hungry!!

The Hood guy let go of my hand when he dropped off the hidden soldiers in the shadows past.

"Hey, what the hell is that?"

I raised my voice slightly, so the Hood guy said, "Be quiet!!".

It was like I'd never heard it before.

He'll try to get the hood.

"............ ah"

It was such an unexpected person's face that I was really surprised.

Sure, because I've seen the face of this person.

A thin beige hair close to blonde hair, with a noble face. That was precisely the first prince of this country, His Highness Alfredo.

"... so, Your Highness...?

"I don't know. You're Machia Odileel, the general magician."

"Oh, yeah... eh?

I wonder what that means. Why is the First Prince here?

"I am being pursued. Hide somewhere. That's an order."

"... what?

"I am fleeing the royal palace!!

The first prince, he wrote it as serious, was a serious face.

I was looking to run away from home.

His Royal Highness Alfredo, the first prince of Ruskia, is three years older than Ulysses, and until last year he was a leading candidate for the King at a time. It's a subtle line when asked if it looks like Ulysses, rather it still looks like a king. Beige hair, close to blonde hair, can be said to belong to the Ruskian royal family. Sir Raymond has similar hair colors. I guess white-haired Ulysses are still more out of royal character.

"Uh... His Highness Alfredo, why the hell are you running away from home... Running away from home or leaving the palace? Out of town?"

"... just shut up and hide me"

………

What the hell is this guy? Be great.

"That said, you'll be caught soon anyway. You're a prince, so if there's something you don't like, just make it clear."

"It's none of your business."

I've heard here lately that the First Prince is unwilling to the throne and drawn to the room, but what exactly made him behave like this?

I don't know what to do, I've been ordered to hide from a prince who's hardly ever been involved.

But I don't know what to do.

"Ha... Tor... Ulysses..."

This is the time I want to rely on them, but during a fight with Thor, Ulysses was in the royal palace and there's nothing I can do about it.

Neither Lepis nor Noah have any indication that they're back yet...

"Hey, I'm starving. Is there somewhere you can eat?"

"Um. Are you sure you're running away from the soldiers? I'm hungry, too. I'm hungry and powerless anymore, it is!!

His Highness Alfredo is not nervous for being on the run. This is why I feel like running away from home, young man. Yes!!

"And you, you know what? I'm a Raymond."

"...... I know that. But I can't do what Mother and Chancellor say anymore. Those people are crazy."

"... Your Highness?

The prince was also in a lot of complications.

I somehow thought so, but apparently the First Prince faction, such as the Queen and the Chancellor, plots a lot on their own. I guess the First Prince is naturally uncomfortable there.

In the meantime, I couldn't be hungry any more, so I went into a rustic dining room nearby and asked for a private room.

"I have the money, Your Highness."

"... Kim? I haven't brought much..."

"Were you really going to run away from home? You don't know the world, you don't know..."

Remove the cape in a private room, look at the prince, who remains an expensive garment, and put his eyebrows in eight letters.

"Try selling one of those clothes buttons somewhere. I can see how much it costs you guys to decorate.... Well fine, even I have so much money that I don't need it, I have to spend it every now and then... I'll give you the luxury...... not at all"

That said, I order the clerk to bring all the menus from the top.

His Royal Highness wasn't sure, but he looked at the number of dishes to come next.

The dishes ranged from rustic common cuisine to a lot of Ruskian B-grade gourmet, seafood grilled and other things that the average person would mouth, but I was heartened by a lot of the flavors from a long time ago.

"Oh, I knew this would be good too ~. He tastes like a mother."

"... does the mother of a commoner cook such dishes?

"Huh? Well, there will be a lot of things depending on the home, but right...... Because not all ordinary people eat lavish dishes like a full course in the Royal Palace."

………

His Royal Highness rarely seemed to poke a shellfish butter grill.

But I didn't complain about the flavor, so I'm sure you thought it tasted pretty good.

"I've never eaten my mother's hand cooking..."

"Well, does the queen cook? I'm sure even Ulysses will. In the first place, I hardly ever listen to his mother."

"... wasn't the mother of Prince Ulysses V a royal magician? You know, barely come out of the lab right now."

"He doesn't really care about Mazacon. One way or another, Cisco or Loricon... or Parents..."

"... what?

"Yes, no. Don't say anything in his honor."

I've already said it.

But you're really right. Rather, because Tor or something tends to respond oddly to the word mother.

"So, Your Highness, Alfredo, you made me luxury dinner, so why don't you tell me what's going on?

"... or why are you suddenly in a familiar tone? I'm the first prince."

"Shut up, you stupid prince"

"Ba... silly..."

I put a glass of carbonated water on my desk with momentum.

"Hmm... what are you talking about, a young man who can't do anything by himself? A prince of one country said something about O-ka-san and suddenly ran away from home when he thought he was pulling it off. Are you young?

"............ Ugh!!

The First Prince seemed to regret the stuffiness, but he had nothing to say back.

"No... you're right. I guess I'm not worthy of a king. Instead, I didn't even want to be king after seeing that giant soldier. I can't fight that and defend my country."

………

"But... my mother and the Chancellors have not yet given up on putting me in the king. For that... with such an enemy country... I'm even trying to get to Ruleubet. I listened. I've barely spoken to Rubette, but I can't replace being your sister..."

"Oh, you know a lot of things."

"Oh. My mother has changed. It wasn't like that back in the day...... I also wanted to live up to my mother's expectations, but now I know that the throne is worthy of Sir Raymond. I will destroy my country. What will you be sitting on the throne until you destroy your country... what will be fun"

"... well, yeah"

He seemed like a better first prince than I thought.

Sure, because it will be impossible for anyone who has butted into that giant soldier to protect this country in the future.

"Then why don't you go to Lord Raymond? I love my uncle, my nephew, my niece, so I'm sure he'll protect you."

………

"You should be the first to do that. Why did you come out of the palace?"

"... well, that's..."

I talk to the prince while eating a steady menu that is carried one after the other.

Drink the carbonated water from the grapes and eat fried chili meat. I can't wait for this spicy and carbonated bouncing irritation!!

And it was when I was thinking about my father smelling.

If you suddenly think the door to a private room has opened, Tor will. Thor showed up.

"Hey, don't go back to the royal palace what are you doing..."

"... oh, you... No, because this Your Highness..."

Thor was angry. Probably went back to the royal palace once and the fact that I wasn't back became a problem.

His Highness Alfredo took Tor seriously.

Thor also notices His Royal Highness's presence.

"Hey, you, General Thor Sagaram, you're a magical knight."

"... eh? Why is the First Prince here?"

"That's why His Highness ordered me to eat here!!

I enjoyed the first cup of common food. What the hell am I talking about?

Thor looked at the massively piled plates, jitty.

"What the fuck? You must have magically searched for me anyway."

"You. Wang Du is in danger."

"What Lepis and Noah are."

"You know, even those guys can't fathom enemies when they say..."

………

Along the way, Thor cares about the First Prince or grabs his mouth.

I was a little concerned.
