Reincarnation Monarch
Episode 190: Excuses
"... so..."
Elle explained the upside of the matter to Gaius and the others with his face like he had chewed down a bitter worm.
"... what kind of demon is that devil named Menontius?
"I'm not familiar with demons in the first place, but don't you?
"Yeah, I've never seen or heard of a demon like that, either."
Then Rodemur overheard.
"Why is Boy so familiar with the devil?
Gaius began his excuse in a slight panic.
"Ugh, yeah. I've studied a lot since this was an example. Like that Glasha-Laboulas again, but I don't think they're gonna attack me."
"Glasha-Laboras...... that giant demon that Master Carla fought in Tabe's underground waterway, right? It's true that I saw Glasha-Laboras even then, and I think you mentioned his name..."
"No - I've been very interested in demons for a long time! That's why I've been studying!
"... Were you..."
"Yeah! Is everyone better than that ~? I think some kids are hungry. Will you take a look?"
Rodemul saw Gaius behaving suspiciously and quickly returned his expression, although he caught a glimpse of a much more daunting look for a moment, leaving the room quietly in a gratuitous manner.
When Gaius confirmed that Rodemur had closed the door, he slowly threw his legs out as soon as possible and stretched wide throughout his body.
"Ahbu ~. I almost had a rundown."
Then Elle's face, which had until then been a bitter expression, turned into a slight expression.
"Hmm. There's a lot of rundown and stuff out there. Rodemur just pretends not to notice it."
"... seriously?
"Seriously. I'll keep my eyes closed, because I'm in a subordinate relationship. Probably."
"... Lombardo too?
"No, because the guy is competent, but he's not the type to realize that kind of detail. If Rodemur hadn't reported it, I'd have noticed. That's not an easy man to understand."
"Why hasn't Rodemur reported it to Lombardo?
"Sometimes it's hard to say I have doubts about my husband's son, but more than that, I guess I believe in my own eyes dealing with you every day. You must have traveled to Dallas with me. Then I'd trust you for once."
Gaius didn't think of it and reminded me of that trip to Dallas six years ago.
"In Dallas... I met Signus"
"That's right. And probably also met Menontius... in the royal palace."
"Oh, no doubt about it. The man who flew Carla to another world is Menontius."
"Hmm. Isn't it getting a lot more interesting?
That's what Elle smiled at.
Gaius nodded, never roaring.
"Oh, next time they come, I'll make sure you settle for it!
