"I can't. I'm sorry, but I can't snake. Absolutely not!"

"What, a dragon would be nice? Same reptile, right?

"Don't keep dragons with reptiles"

Meir swelled her cheeks in dissatisfaction at me for putting in a no, and Ixis and Ouga put in a testimonial together. That's twins. Brilliant hammering.

After I passed out in a different space room in Ouga.

Discussions were still taking place there when I woke up.

Mere noticed what had happened to me approached the bed and if I refused early, she looked unconvinced.

"In the first place, I'm dating Ixis... You know even Meir, right? And you don't see Mere that way."

"Yeah, I let Elliot and Mr. Augusto go free, but I think it's terrible to just cut me off."

To be clear, I hang my neck forward so that all the snakes behind Meir can nod.

"Because Meir feels like she's in danger!

"Wow, that's terrible. To be perfectly clear, it hurts, doesn't it? Well, nothing, Meiko. Even if your sister doesn't like me, I don't mind at all, do I? Whether you like it or not, that's fun and... makes me want to abuse you"

Meir grinned as an abusive light dwelt in her eyes.

I feel my skin bubble.

See, I knew it wasn't dangerous!

"Meir, if you're trying to get your hands on my Mako, I won't forgive you."

Stand in between as Ixis shelters me, from beside Meir.

Not in that case, but my heart pounds on the part called mine.

"Don't look scared, Mr. Ixis. Mako, I'm not that familiar with taking your sister from Mr. Ixis! I don't care if you're third or mistress."

"I'll do it!

What is Meir saying to me?

Common sense and ethics and other important things are falling out of Meir.

"Okay. Then compromise, if your sister Mako will let that body produce phantom beast eggs, that's fine. For that, Meiko, I'll help your sister get her original body back!

And let that body lay eggs, and Meir speaks brightly.

"I don't know what just changed!?

Meir speaks very differently to me about putting in a scratch without wondering where I compromised.

"You don't have to be my kid, Meiko. I'm telling you I'll bless your phantom beast. Even if the blood isn't connected, then I think I can love it. That's the only way your future Meiko sister's kid's gonna have a phantom beast, right?

Imagine seeing me blue and laughing fun when Meir dulls.

If you're making fun of me and laughing, I'm still glad.

... There is some sharp light in my eyes that keeps me alert.

Meir's phantom beast egg means a snake for sure.

As one day me and Ixis' child could be, the snake would soak behind it... it would be horrible and crying.

It's even hard to hold a child.

In the first place, I couldn't even think about it.

"I don't like it. I can't! I won't shy away from it!

"Er, phantom beast. Even though it's convenient. Mako, is it amazing that your sister is courted by a phantom beast?

If you refuse, Meir says you can't refuse.

But no matter what, I can't give in there.

I don't know what's awesome, but I can't snake.

Young Mere, more of a phantom beast than a person... seemed to have a strong desire for phantom beasts.

All I'm saying is that's the expression of love for phantom beasts.

I told Meir I couldn't do it after all...... it was a subtle thing if she really understood.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

The discussions that took place while I slept seemed to reveal who the mastermind was.

The mastermind is Tilia, Hilda's fruit sister.

She is the first princess of the kingdom of Elves, the queen system, and her mother is now the queen.

Then there are many. In the queen's husband, her father is a royal elf and a regular room.

I mean, Tilia was indisputable, a princess among princesses.

Born as the first princess of the present queen, Tilia was the bearer of a rare talent.

When I was twelve, a teacher said there was nothing more Tilia could teach me.

When I was fourteen, I showed my opponent a well-known wizard a magical skill that would not take a single step.

The magic that it possesses is immense.

In the righteousness of adults, who turn fifteen and show their magical abilities, they are not tired of just defeating giant test beasts, but they have shown enough power to wipe out one mountain.

The Elf Country has a great tree called the Mana Tree, and the Queen has a mission to take care of the tree and instill magic in it.

The elves are this tree fairy, and all the elves will die if this tree withers.

For this reason, the role of the Queen was of great importance.

But trees have been dying over the past few years.

Tilia, with her immense magic powers, had considerable expectations.

Of all the Elves' royalty to date, Tilia stands out in magic.

I'm sure she would have thought she could restore the dead tree.

There's nothing out there to the right of the growing Tilia.

They said it was Tilia who would be the next queen for sure.

But - that's where Hilda was born.

A half-elf born between the royalty of an elf and a florist of slave identity.

Low status is unlikely to be a member of the royal family in itself.

Hilda, who was taken to the royal palace at the age of three, took a magic measurement and apparently ejected an incalculable amount of magic.

Treat the space at the age of three.

When I was five years old, there was already no wizard in Elf country who could teach Hilda magic.

When I was eight, I made a pledge with the dragon and placed it perfectly in my own control.

Even with a bunch of powerful wizards, they didn't even become Hilda's playmates.

In the righteousness of a fifteen-year-old adult, he wiped out a strip of it from the continent, both of the test beasts, just waving his fingers gently.

Where to do the righteousness of a holy adult, on the edge of the Elf nation.

Thanks to Hilda's magic, she's got a huge bottomless hole, and she's useless.

The remnants of the still indelible magic are stuck in the back of a large hole swallowing about three mountains.

Since the Queen has a life-threatening mission for all elves to instill magic in the mana tree, the throne of the kingdom of the elves is a system of strength.

The order of succession to the throne is also determined in order of magic.

By the way, a man can't take the throne.

Apparently, mana trees only receive magic from women, and for that reason they were queens, as a matter of course.

Tiria was not convinced by Hilda, who suddenly appeared, chased the first throne inheritance seat.

Without Hilda - Tilia was a vessel that no one could complain about.

Tilia, eighteen, who believed she would always be queen, lost to Hilda, three years old, and much less of a mixed race than herself.

"Tyria sent me assassins, like every day."

Claude keeps talking, in a tone that just tells the facts.

Unusual about being targeted by assassins.

But that's been Hilda's routine since then.

At the age of ten, Claude met Hilda, five, and began to make pledges to serve.

Claude is a precious florist.

Have the power to attract demons and increase their magic if you interact with them.

For this reason he was taken to the royal palace of the elves, which attaches more importance to magic than anything else, and was destined to be the comforter of the royal people.

Hilda, five, made such a pledge to Claude that if he forgives his body to anyone other than himself, he would die.

I guess Hilda, who watched up close as the florist's mother was being abused, couldn't leave Claude in the same situation alone.

I don't know how to break a pledge because I'm a child.

Hilda insisted.

As an adult, Claude became Hilda's exclusive butler until his pledge could be lifted.

In the first place, Claude seemed to have become something of Hilda, the next queen, due to the fact that florists are often addressed to the queen.

Hilda was a silent, faceless kid when we met.

Claude says it was like a well-made moving doll, with some appearance of beauty.

Hilda lightly repels the assassins sent by Tilia.

Always use special magic on the things you eat, and only eat them after you detoxify them.

There was no way for anyone to forgive their hearts, and there was nothing there about being childish.

Tilia wasn't amused by how Hilda looked like that, and sometimes she harassed and killed servants around her.

But Hilda only says about "yes, that kid is dead".

In an unsolicited reaction, Tilia apparently stopped harassing him one of these days.

Though the number one successor to the throne, Hilda is the son of a florist of slave status.

Shielding against Tilia, the first princess, creates extra damage.

Claude remarked that Hilda, who was young and wise, had realized that that was the easiest way to make things easier.

"Dear Hilda, it's never about flirting. Against the deceased servants, there was an appearance, but they were bound to sing songs for them."

Whenever someone died, Hilda was singing a song avoiding people at their place of death, Claude says.

Probably a soul-relieving song.

It's a language I've never heard, and it also sounded like a magical chant to Claude's ear.

The gentle, clear singing was like a lullaby, Claude closed his eyes and put his hands on his chest as he recalled.

Listening to Hilda, it's really out of standard.

High potential, spectacular surroundings.

Besides, I don't really think I'm five - a bunch of behaviors.

I got that impression when I was like an adult from the start.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

"I kind of figured out that Tilia resented Hilda, but having Hilda here means Tilia's the next queen candidate, right? Why are they still after your life?

"Tilia became number one in the throne inheritance once after Master Hilda married her, but soon fell to the bottom"

Claude answers my question.

"Don't you think it's odd that Hilda, who was the next Queen's candidate in the first place, is here with a daughter-in-law of a human old man?

Sure Claude was right, and that bothered me too.

Hilda was set up by Tilia to commit the royal murder.

They've chased the seat of the queen candidate.

Hilda's father is of low status in the royal family, and her mother is a slave.

Although they did not have much power, the current Queen's brother had arrived in Hilda as his guardian.

That's why Hilda was protected from some nasty events.

But it was - the queen's brother himself.

Hilda, who lost her back shield, was blamed for his sins.

The death penalty was waived because there was no evidence and there was no reason for Hilda to kill him.

But Hilda seems to have been chased through the country because of it.

Elves look downward at people.

The wife of an old man of the people is nothing but humiliation.

Hilda, however, had nothing to excuse and accepted it with great admiration.

"If you ask me why I would do anything sinful as it is, you wouldn't be able to make my kingdom here, would you? And Master Hilda was laughing."

Hilda wasn't even interested in the throne.

Claude said he was fortunate enough to go to the daughter-in-law of an old man of the people and assassinate the old man sooner to get a free life.

... I heard you assassinated my husband, but I guess we should go through here.

Well, anyway, it was Hilda driven to this territory, but it also seemed to be his own will.

Tilia, as you can see, has the right to inherit the throne first.

Hilda got her freedom.

Hilda wasn't left to be hit, though it seemed to fit round at first sight.

Hilda gave Tilia a cursed souvenir.

Because of that curse, Tilia says she fell from first place in the throne inheritance to the lowest thirteenth place.

Until what the curse is, Claude says that Hilda told me just to laugh funny.

Just rumor has it, since Hilda cursed.

- He hasn't seen Tilia.

That seemed to mean that Hilda bought Tyria's grudge and continued to be sent assassins after leaving Elf's country.

When I say it sounds like Hilda, I feel like Hilda.

"... the curse and pledge are the same thing"

After listening, Ouga, who has been silent for so long, opens his mouth heavily.

It's just a different way of saying it, that the curse and the pledge are exactly the same thing.

"The only way to break the pledge is to ask Hilda, who is in person, to break it. Usually, killing the person you called would break your vows. In the case of a woman named Hilda, she's letting her opponent and her pledge of death go hand in hand to prevent it... something like that."

Ouga shrugs in a difficult face.

On the one hand, it's too convenient for the surgeon to make a pledge, and it's not the art of making a pledge with more than one person.

I wondered if that was possible, and Ouga seemed unbelievable.

"Tilia deliberately tried to kill Hilda by putting another soul in her body. I mean, Tilia can also see that Hilda is being sworn to die if she dies. Plus, I haven't seen anything since the pledge was made. That pledge is likely to be about appearance"

From the information we receive from everyone and from our own knowledge, Ouga strikes a guess.

I didn't think so. I was convinced.

I knew I could count on Ouga.

"I have enough motive for Tilia. Besides, he's the one in the Elf Nation who resents me the most."

"What the hell did you do to Tilia, Ixis?

Ask Ixis how sure he is that the mastermind is Tilia.

"Whenever Tilia harassed me, Hilda was doubling it back because of me. That's what a stupid dragon did, so I'm sorry, huh? How dare you."

Ixis speaks irritably.

Wined by his clothes, Hilda tore all of Tilia's clothes with the magic of the wind only on the spot.

And they blamed it on Ixis.

"No, Ixis. It would be annoying to show something ugly around because of how frustrating it is."

How dare you rub your sins against Ixis, who was beside you.

When there were other bombs planted in Hilda's villa, he said that he had magically crushed Tilia's villa without a trace in return for blaming it on Ixis.

Ixis remembered, he seemed to be getting frustrated.

After Tilia broke Hilda's pledge, it seems to be around there trying to kill Ixis.

If Tilia was a mastermind, I was also convinced why I resented Ixis.

When Hilda, it would be too flashy to even do it as a retribution for harassment.

It's not about to double back the noise.

It's a level where Tilia, without often punishing her, wants to send admiration to Hilda for her guts that it was something she harassed.

"That, wait a minute. Five-year-old Hilda was a big boy, wasn't she? What made you such a radical now Hilda?

If you put your doubts in your mouth, ah, then Claude opens his mouth already.

That was when Hilda was seven.

It seemed that Tilia was trying to get her hands on Claude.

By subverting Claude following Hilda, kill him.

I guess Tilia thought I'd taste despair.

Tied up the young Claude, Hilda scattered down Tilia, who was about to attack him.

He says he used munchies and shady magic to sporadically degrade Tilia in front of Claude.

"Oh - I wish I'd done this from the start."

Hilda seems to have said that with a tranced look, kicking Tilia, who does not cry.

Claude forcefully theorized that his expression at that time was very luscious and overflowing with his style as king.

Awakened Hilda began to behave confidently from that day on.

Don't do anything, just like you want to do it freely.

It's so perfect that no one can complain about it, it overwhelms me around.

His eyes said the dark flames lit up and he looked like a beautiful carnivorous beast grinding his nails.

To sum up Claude's story, - I mean, he's only seven years old, and Hilda has woken up that way.

Hilda, eight years old when Ixis met, was already a bystand-alone girl.

He said he always had Ixis on his side, like a tool to boast of power.

"Anyway, I'm pretty sure the mastermind is Tilia. And a few things, I think."

Ixis cuts the word once and turns his gaze to everyone once.

"It was one of the boys in the mansion who did the trick on Meiko and slammed him down the stairs. I'm pretty sure he's involved with Tilia."

I remember that day in the words of Ixis.

Hilda and my replacement was structured.

Though I just assumed from my knowledge of maiden games in the original world that it was Abel who thrust Hilda down the stairs that day.

From the way things have been going, it would mean that the boy who stuck Hilda down - it wasn't Abel.

Only that day.

There was a boy standing on the stairs.

I didn't see my face in retrograde light, but she's about Abel to get out of her outfit.

"Pfft, you're not cute. My clothes look great on you, too. What's wrong with calling a wasp to this place?

Yes, Hilda was speaking to him.

Hilda was forcing the boys to wear their original butler clothes.

Differently designed, attentive butler clothing for each person.

I guess the fact that our clothes look good also means that the kid has never slept through that butler's clothes before.

Of all the boys in the mansion, they came just before I was replaced with Hilda.

Abel and - and the brothers of Vice and Till.

Vice was as tall as Abel and his outfit was very similar.

There was a big difference between blonde hair and dark hair, but I didn't even know the color of my hair in that light.

Only as the boy's shadow stood there, it was invisible to my eyes.

No way, the Vice......?

That can't be right.

Vice was a very good kid and the handkerchief I gave him was happy to receive it.

"... Augusto said, a pledge about the look placed on Tilia. Combine these with one suspicious guy."

If you were denying the possibility that it came up, Ixis would say that to the pretense.

"Did Ixis think so too"

Claude also answers Ixis with a hard voice.

They both think of the same person.

"Vice is probably Tilia herself."

"It seems that Vice is Tilia"

Ixis and Claude each told him so in a voice full of certainty.
