Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

◇ ◇ ◇

"Here."

It was behind the castle that was put through. The room, presumably the king's office.

I nodded, wondering if it was between glances.

"Get in. I'm not allowed to go any further."

"Okay."

In every country, royalty is absolute. The soldier urged me that it was the king's order, and I knocked softly on the door.

"Get in."

I hear a low voice, I open the door and go inside.

Unlike the exterior of the castle, this golden room is equipped with luxurious furniture and much more that the king deserves. It was even golden to the carpet laid on the bad taste.

"Are you the wise man who rebuilt Gillim's field, the wizard who uses intense magic no one has ever seen?

I've looked at this one with intense eyesight was a man who laid his back on the desk. It was about time he was in his thirties. Big scratches on the forehead - this is apparently a ritual characteristic of Talim - seem somewhat compelling because of it. The man with his black beard stretched out over his black hair had a sharp eye and seemed worthy of a castle owner who would bring a country together.

I broke my knee and slowly denied it.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Theon.... Unfortunately I am a scholar, but not such a grand wizard as would be rumored to be so"

"What do you think? I've received reports that you used strange magic to kill Gillim's people. If you hide it, it's not for you."

"Even if they say so... I don't like magic or magic myself"

"Hmm......"

I was pointed at the gaze that I knew, but I just laughed and didn't answer any more.

I guess my response was unsatisfactory, the king snorts.

"Well, fine. No one else has bothered to summon you today. Because I need you to fold in and do me a favor."

"Please, is it?

Yes, all I get is a bad feeling from a snorting king.

Still silently listening to the rest of the story, the king said with a laugh.

"You, from today on, become my soldier's - Tarim's master."

"Is...?

I knew it was a rude reaction, but I couldn't return words aggressively to unexpected words.

The king keeps talking to me when I get pompous if I don't know what that means.

"Your accomplishments in receiving the report were truly remarkable. Still in this country...... no if you suck at it, technology I've never seen in the world. I want your brains with it. At first, I was going to leave the frigid wizard alone. I can't just ignore the technology you showed me at Gillim. That's why I wanted you here."

I expected to pick you up as soon as I got the report, but apparently not.

It was the technology that showed off later that got my eye on it. I mean, that's what I'm saying when I send in soldiers like this because I've got results.

"Our soldiers are strong and brave, but unfortunately they are weak. I hate to admit it, but it's very different from the disciplined soldiers in Wilhelm. I don't care what you think, you don't have enough brains."

The king, who bites his lips off, looks at this side.

"... it's impossible to welcome you, a foreigner, to the ranks of the warriors... but every battle in my country has been lost in a row these days. There will be no more. I can't replace my belly on my back. Use all your skills and brains to lead my army to victory. You're from Irvern, but it's called the color of your skin. I don't think so. Is that a lie? You're the one who doesn't know where the horse bones are, but I'll give you preferential treatment as long as I get the results. I'll do whatever you want."

"... I refuse"

I managed to tell him just that.

I'll be on the battlefield as a military teacher? I can't think about that.

Even though it was an unconscious thing to say, I was already a murderer, I didn't want to bother to take command of killing people on the battlefield myself.

"I guess so. But even if you insist that you are not a wizard, the sin of killing Gillim's people will not go away. If you're saying no to my story... you're just going to die instantly for murder. If you want to take the case of a military master, I'll write it off in my name. I'll give you time. Think about it."

"... please kill me now. There's no point in me living in this world."

"Well, don't rush to conclusions.... Someone!

As the king raised his voice, several soldiers appeared right behind the thick curtains beside him.

It must be the king's direct escort. I think it's a natural consideration, but it was still momentary.

"Take this man to the room he has prepared."

"Ha!"

I was taken to a room in the royal palace so that they could strangle me.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Ha..."

The room thrown in was surprisingly ordinary.

I thought I might be thrown into the barn until I changed my mind, but that didn't seem to have happened. Even though I'm relieved by that, my sigh really spills.

I didn't want you to waste time thinking like this or anything.

I wish you'd just killed me.

Sitting on the bed where it was installed and exhaling again, the door to the room was knocked reluctantly.

"Yes?"

There must be many soldiers packed in front of the door.

When I didn't know who was here and just replied, the door opened quietly and an elderly woman covered her face with a veil then came into the room.

The woman stands before me and puts her neck up. Nature and colour appeared in the casual motion.

"Good day. Quick, but I'll ask. I wonder if you're lost.

"Is...?

"You don't know what that means, do you? It's okay, nothing. You don't have to answer that."

Women dressed like fortune-tellers vomit meaningful words.

Even when wearing a veil, my lips with bright red lipstick caught my eye badly.

The woman grinned as she put her face closer to me sitting on the bed.

"Try going to Wilhelm. Tips are there."

"What? What are you saying all of a sudden?

I frowned at the sudden words, but the woman only deepened her grin.

"This is all I can tell you from me. I'm sorry. I'm still breaking the rules. For once, I'm going to apologize for this. I'll see you when I get a chance. I am, Maisa. Remember if you like."

"Um..."

"Oh, time's up. Bye."

I couldn't even afford to ask back. Shortly after I blinked, the woman was disappearing from my sight. I don't know what happened. I can walk away.

"Huh...? What about the woman now?

I wanted to make sure that what was happening now was a dream, and I picked it up from bed. When I put my hand on the door to chase the woman, the door suddenly opened from the outside.

"Geez."

"Ah... oh, excuse me"

People were in my eyes and I panicked. One hair at a time. I almost bumped into him.

It was one little girl who came in. He is dressed in women's clothing of no old size. The girl, holding the basin with both hands with the meal on it, looked up at me with a frightened eye.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't even have to knock. Because the soldier in front of the door told me to keep it in... oh, me..."

"Don't apologize. Because it is me who is careless. Than that...... didn't one woman leave before you came into this room? An adult woman wearing a veil."

Girl looks pompous in my words. Then I shook my head to deny it was puffy.

"No, I just told the customer to carry the meal…"

"Really... oh? What's wrong with that leg?

Did you still daydream? I thought so, and the girl's feet naturally entered my eyes when I leaned down a little.

One leg of the girl was fitted with a shackle like an iron ankle, which looked terribly distorted.

And I noticed that the girl was barefoot.

The girl leaned down as she was ashamed.

"... you know, I'm a slave. This is proof of that. I apologize for the ugliness. Is this the first time you've seen slaves?

"... slave"

I lost my word.

I've been coming to this unsure world for months now. I was going to have a lot of knowledge at my disposal, but it still seemed I hadn't.

I didn't know this was a world where slavery was such an evil law.

Look at me with a smile on my face and a girl looks like she's in a hurry.

"Oh, that! Did I even make you feel uncomfortable? Excuse me, excuse me...... I apologize. So... could you just give me a break for the bump today?"

"Bump? Are you saying I'll slap you"

Suddenly I wondered what to say but the girl was true.

"Because I can't do it as an animal man or as a slave. Even this time, so go to me... I can't take care of the rest of you. You're good enough..."

So you're the one who's been pushed to take care of me by everyone.

"Hih... sorry"

Girl who shrugs herself while holding a basin.

The twisted, crooked, triangular cat ears on his head were shaking. I looked at it and, uh, doubted my eyes... I understood what I saw and was stunned.

"... Beastman? Did you just call yourself the Beast Man?

"Yes.... I'm a cat beast man. As you can see, my ears are broken so it's not worth it as a favorite... but this is still how you use it as a downwork..."

……

This is the time to realize that this world is a different world, not Earth.

I was pretty surprised by the magic, but this is also amazing again.

Ears that are shaking in front of you are not mis-seeing, etc. When I looked closely, behind her, it even rocked like a tail.

"... well, is that right? But what the hell is a failure?

"Cat Beastman's ears are more pinched, more valuable. So."

"... that's terrible discrimination"

"I have no choice. I can be now."

Girl laughing unceasingly.

And I said, "I'm sorry. I will prepare a meal for you," he began to arrange the meals at the table that was provided.

"Maybe I'll ask you again tomorrow. Best regards,"

Pepper lowered her head and the girl left. Shut up and drop it off.

Too many things happened at once and I didn't want to think about it.

So I got a meal and slept like mud.
