Lesson 2: Near's Descent Festival

"Congratulations, Master Lucanos"

"Oh, congratulations. Nia."

The morning after Elquille got my coat.

Nia and Lucanos celebrated the descent festival together.

"Surely today...... there are people in the Lucarios family, right?

The Lucarios family.

The present Lord of this House, the corner of the House of Saints Seventy Seven, is Lucanos Lucarios.

but there are no seeds in Lucanos, and no children can.

Nia, the adopted son, is a Demon (Nightmare) and not even an Elf (Elf).

So it is established that the next head of the Lucarios family will be succeeded by Lucanos' brother.

Most importantly, the property is allocated to Nia.

Seventy-seven of the Holy Seventy Seven means seventy seven blood muscles… not that there are actually only seventy seven.

There are a number of branches, and they have a constant mechanism.

"Oh, yeah. Nevertheless, we have time until then. Why don't you take a walk in the city, too? Your Majesty gave you a coat, didn't he?... Today's descent festival is far more exciting than ever before. It would be a loss not to walk at all."

Because the wedding of Carolina, Renalier, took place two and three days before the Coming Festival.

There were many merchants, bards and other entertainers gathered to see this grand wedding and for those gathered.

I came to Nova Remulia, the metropolitan area.

It would be natural for someone to stay until the descent festival.

Therefore, this year's descent festival was unprecedented.

"Surprised. I thought Master Lucanos hated all that noise..."

Lucanos is a priest.

Priestly, the descent festival is a thing to quietly be cautious with your family.

At least it's not a festival for silly noise.

But...

"I don't like it. but even His Majesty hides his identity and rolls out to the city.... there's no way I can blame my daughter"

Well, I mean, I'm giving up.

Nia laughed bitterly.

"Okay...... I'm going to play a little. I'll be home at noon."

"Oh, you should come"

Nia gets permission from Lucanos to wear outdoor clothes.

Put on as cute clothes as you can and put on the coat that Elquille gave you.

Next, wear gloves and mufflers - a gift from Lucanos.

Don't forget to wear a sword on your hips - something that Carolina gave you as a birthday.

And hang an adorable necklace - a gift from Renalier - around your neck.

"If you wear a hat after..."

As soon as I tried to put on my hat, Elkür's words passed behind Nia's brain.

"You are a nobleman of the Lucarios family. Be confident in yourself '

Wearing a hat - a thing to hide a corner - is... against that word.

Nia got a little lost and then stopped wearing her hat.

I usually try to wrap it around my hips, and the tail I hide cramped...

It doesn't wind up, and it drips as it is.

This would take the form of a tail peek from the skirt.

... from behind, clearly seen.

"... All right, let's go"

Nia finishes her prep and walks to the front door.

"Nia, what's so good about it..."

Lucanos was different, surprised by the change in nia, but didn't say anything.

Just one word.

"Be careful, Nia."

"Yes, I'm coming..."

And Nia worried for a few moments, then blushed...

"I'm coming, Father"

And he left the mansion to rush out.

Left Lucanos shrugged.

"... that girl calls me Father... this is your first time"

Nia is a Demon (Nightmare).

Many of the nobles who live in Nova Lemuria know that.

Nia also became a nobleman and naturally became associated with people, and she also faces nobles and girls her age.

And for Nia, it was a little unexpected...

Nobles and high priests have nothing to blatantly avoid Nia, nothing to scold at, and they treat me with out-of-the-box sympathy or familiarity......

It's just...

This is a natural story if you think about it.

The Lemurian Empire is a multi-ethnic nation.

There are long-eared people (elves), coal-mining people (dwarves), people (humans), and beasts (warbeasts).

The Elves reign as a dominant race, and purist...

In proportion, the nobility of the non-long-eared (elves) accounts for more than a majority.

What the Lemurian Empire is most afraid of is the collapse of inter-racial rivalries.

The ruling nobles are therefore educated to refrain from and act to refrain from far-fetched statements and actions about race, and those who do not refrain are politically reprehensible.

The nobility of the Lemurian Empire can be aristocratic enough because of the presence of the Lemurian Empire.

In the aftermath of the fall of the Lemurian Empire, it is not known whether nobility may be sufficient.

That can be seen from the former Western Lemurian Empire Territory.

The collapse of the former Western Lemurian Empire has led the nobles of the Lemurian Empire to fear above all the 'world after the Lemurian Empire's death'.

And in the first place...

Prejudice towards the Demons (Nightmare) depends on superstition and folk heritage in the polytheistic world prior to the establishment of Mesianism.

The righteously Mesian-educated nobles and high priests are skeptical of the ferocity and cruelty of the Devil Nation (Nightmare), the product of the polytheistic world.

Even if you're prejudiced at first, if you deal with Nia to some extent... you'll know she's a normal girl, and you'll have sympathy for the situation.

On the other hand, when it falls below a certain income, the wind suddenly becomes stronger to the near.

Unlike Japan, the Lemurian Empire does not mean that it has a certain compulsory education at any social level.

The reading and writing of letters becomes suspicious if it goes below the middle stream.

Naturally, I only have an appropriate education about Mesianism as well.

Being narrow in appearance itself and living in a world of very narrow communities, such as one's neighbors, friends, parents, grandparents, parents and disciples, it makes it easier to be prejudiced and discriminatory feelings more prone to enlargement.

In addition, we are no longer reluctant to act or speak because we do not have a sense of duty such as' We must not crumble the Lemurian Empire '.

As a result, discrimination about religion and race intensifies.

Unlike the nobles and the high priests, they are not characterized by any theory such as "O O So Hate".

"I don't like it because everyone hates it" is a major reason for discrimination and persecution.

King Cerda, for example, is a beast supremacist and a racist.

But he also has a theory and a goal in the bend called "Building a Stable State through Absolute Superiority of the Beast Nation (Warbeast)."

In a weird way, his persecution is' rational 'persecution.

Fundamentally, it is the same political thing, not unlike Erkühr's use of the capital power of the Six-Star's gold lending to stop discriminating against and persecuting them, as a result of that person's reasoned judgment.

But there is no such thing for the underprivileged.

Rather than accomplishing some purpose by persecution, persecution is an end in itself for them.

Because no purpose exists, there is no limit to its persecution, discrimination, violence or tantrums, and escalates permanently.

"... Downtown from here on out"

Nia puts her hand on her nervous, unrattling heart and forces her to hold it down.

Nia has never left Lower Town alone since Erkühl picked her up.

Nia fears violence and outrage from the bottom of her heart.

But...

I don't want to be frightened forever.

The thought occurred to Nia.

So...

One step, Nia took.

Near couldn't help but lift her face, looking forward and walking straight.

Hold on to what seems to attract you with fear and walk the city dignified with a resolute look.

Demons (Nightmare) have high physical abilities.

Near's ear held on to a voice that scorned herself...

I also noticed that those around me were looking at themselves with white eyes.

But...

No one cursed Nia from the front.

No one behaved violently.

Not even one pebble, it doesn't fly.

For what reason?

Easy.

Because now Nia is noble.

He is wearing clothes that look fancy to see and lowering his sword from his waist.

If you look at that, you'll notice what kind of person Nia is... unless she's such a dull thing.

And...

The family crest of the Lucarios family, sewn into the chest pocket of the coat.

Even if you can't tell which family crest of a house it is, even idiots can tell that it is a noble family crest.

No idiot can curse his noble opponent.

No asshole can wield violence against noble opponents.

No one has the courage to throw pebbles at noble opponents.

Everyone gives way to Nia.

Nia stops to try.

And I looked around.

Everyone keeps an eye out for Nia.

(... I used to get beat up even as soon as I did this)

Fear fell out of Nia's mind so that the possession could fall.

"I wonder what scared me of these people...... sounds stupid"

Interpretation, people to this extent.

He beats, curses, and throws stones because the target is an orphan demon (Nightmare) who is dirtier than himself.

But if you know the person is a little higher than you are...

I can't do one thing, I'm just scared.

Nia knows someone far scarier than such a person.

It is the emperor of Lemuria, Erkühl, or the carolina in the main room, or the lunarier in the side room.

To Galphis Galeanos, Christoph Augusto.

Lucanos Lucarios, Nia's adoptive father.

Millenium Peter, a princess witch (Medium), his great-grandson and best friend Cecilia Peter.

And I've cursed myself from the front, King Cerda.

Those people have enough power to disrespect the people here.

When it comes to Elquille, I would also be able to kill him in an interesting half for no reason.

Compared to that, anything short about a human who has discriminated against himself?

They can't kill one thin dirty little girl.

And you're scared of one little girl with a little bit of a good fit.

Yes...

If you think calmly, you are the daughter of Lucanos Lucarios.

Daughter of Archbishop Nova Lemuria.

And... the Emperor of the Lemurian Empire has me blindfolded.

Both his wife and minister generals have friends.

What does that self need to be afraid of something like this (...)?

No, you don't have to be afraid of one thing.

Assuming anyone curses you, you can curse them and give them back.

There's an uncultivated poor man civilian flair!! and.

Assuming someone comes wielding violence, you can beat him back.

Thoroughly, to such an extent that you will never think of waging violence against yourself again.

Assuming someone throws a stone at you, I'll make him pay for his dirty clothes.

You can take away the property that you don't have in the first place.

So if there's anything like falling into slavery, buy it... and crush it thoroughly.

I can do that!!

Walking in such a reopened mood...

And then I stopped.

There was a baked confectionery shop there.

Confectionery is basically a luxury product...

It's not like ordinary people can't eat it.

Sometimes Elquille started growing sugar, and in Nova Remulia, some sweet treats were also being infiltrated by ordinary people.

Coffee we drink together is becoming more and more expensive for the common people.

Regardless, if it's about sweets, Nia eats them on a daily basis, and she often asks Elquille to treat her to tea.

Nia stopped at the baked confectionery store, not because of it.

"Sure, this store..."

Once upon a time, Nia was a stray.

I had been invited by the sweet smell and approached this store.

At the time, I only had things to eat about raw waste, and I was really hungry for these things.

The store owner hung cold water on such a nearer and kicked it off.

Over and over again.

Autumn was over then, and the beginning of winter was upon us...

With his soggy clothes, he felt like he was freezing to death, suffering from the pain in the area where he was kicked and moled.

It's really miserable, it's hard, I don't know how it all fits me like this...

I couldn't stop crying.

Two, there was a prank in Nia's heart.

Nia walks up to the store... and opens the door.

Karan, there was a noise with Karan.

"Welcome, one person..."

The shopkeeper called it that far and made his face tense.

Nia grinned at such a shopkeeper.

"There is one Demon (Nightmare). Oh... but this store, the Demons (Nightmare) refuse?

On the back of the expression, Nia provoked the shopkeeper.

Hear that word...

The shopkeeper noticed.

This girl used to be a child of a demon clan (Nightmare) who hung water and kicked it away.

The store owner observes Nia carefully.

Near expensive clothes.

A sword at the waist.

And...... some kind of noble house crest, sewn on the chest.

"Oh, that's good. Because if you refuse, I'll go home. Just, well..."

Nia shrugged as blurry and small, but as the shopkeeper could hear.

"I'm just going to tell you that there was a disrespectful shop that refused to let noblemen in."

The shopkeeper turned his complexion bright blue.

I don't know what happened to this kid. There's just one thing I know...

Once upon a time, the person who behaved violently gained his aristocratic status and visited his shop.

Just that fact.

In the Lemurian Empire, nobility and civilians are considered equal under the law.

And the hedges of nobility and civilians are low.

but still a solid identity difference exists.

Turning the aristocracy against the enemy is unsavory!

"No, no... there is no disrespectful shop that refuses to allow nobles to come to the store. Please, I'll show you to your seat."

"That's good!

Nia smiled.

Seeing that smile, the shopkeeper said, "Maybe this kid doesn't remember who he is?" I had hope.

If you think about it, there are mountains of people who are violent towards the Demons (Nightmare).

I am one of them.

Forget it, maybe it's natural!!

and the store owner reassured the store owner that Nia...

"By the way, I feel like I've seen you somewhere, but is it because of you?

"Kee, isn't it your fault?

"Hmm, right?

The shopkeeper led Nia to the back of the store, bugging her heart.

"This is our best, good seat"

"Oh, I'm surprised. It's so miserable, I thought I'd been led to the worst seat for harassment. I'm sorry I made a mistake, huh?

The shopkeeper was frustrated, but he managed.

If they just hate me, there's nothing wrong with that.

Nia sits in the guided seat.

"The chair is stiff..."

"... I'm sorry. I'll be careful."

"Really? Forget like you (...) seems to forget as soon as I leave the store though"

The owner's heart bounced dokun.

Nia tells the store owner with a chilling look, not a smile she's ever had.

"Forget you stepped on it, but I remember you stepped on it. You know what?... Thought you'd forgotten?

You can't forget. You, have you ever been kicked over and over again by a man of far better stature than yourself? Have you ever revealed a night out in wet clothes in the winter? There isn't. That's good, the side that stepped on your foot is quickly forgotten.... I'll never forget it. "

Nia said everything she wanted to say...

I put one silver coin on my desk.

"Coffee and easy treats"

"Yes! I did!!

Then a while later, coffee and sweets are brought in.

I guess he prioritized Near's orders over the other customers.

It was amazing fast.

Nia tongues inside.

If it was too late, I'd say I didn't like it.

Nia includes the coffee served in her mouth.

And a word.

"Yummy. You can often serve this kind of yummy coffee, right?

"... nobleman, there was a price proportionate... we don't use expensive beans, like noblemen usually drink"

The store owner said back that you were just so frustrated to be here.

Nia folds with a frustrating look, delighted with this in her heart.

"No, it's a pre-bean problem. This is the wrong way to roast, so it tastes so bad. How cheap beans can be coffee if they are made the right way. But this isn't even coffee. It's just muddy water."

That's what Nia said...

Coffee was poured on the owner.

The shopkeeper's clothes stained black.

I grabbed Nia's chest position to see if the store owner was cut off from the bag.

"You filthy demon (Nightmare) kid!! I wish I was bad at this one!!

Say that, shake your fist up and swing it down Nia's face...

Wasn't.

Nia grabbed the owner's fist.

And keep it up, twist it around.

When he noticed, Nia twisted his hand and he couldn't move.

"Hey, what were you going to do to me with this hand? Tell me, hey. Who are you talking about," The Kid of the Dirty Demons "? Look, tell me. No way, it's not about me, is it?

"also, sorry......"

The shopkeeper moaned at the pain and apologized to Nia.

Nia squeaks her nose and releases her hand.

The shopkeeper rubs his hands as he sweats.

In the belly of such a reassuring shopkeeper...

Nia put a kick in it.

"Geho......"

The shopkeeper squatted, smothered by so much pain.

Nia steps on the head of such a shopkeeper with her feet.

"This is how you kicked me, too, isn't it? So, I stepped on my head. How was it after this? Sure... you kicked me in the face over and over again, didn't you? My nose bled, but he wouldn't stop."

"Yu, forgive me..."

"It's funny...... if I stop, forgive me, and never come close again...... did you stop screaming? If I remember correctly, you kicked my stomach again and again after that, didn't you? No matter how many times I threw up, I didn't stop. So, I hung the cold water one last time. Different? Or did you forget?

Nia grabs the shopkeeper's hair with her right hand and lifts it forcefully.

And grab your face with your left hand.

"Look, say something. You forgot?

"Oh, I remember! also, sorry!!

Nia rang her nose and let go of her hand.

And one shot, I kicked it in the face.

"Gah..."

The shopkeeper made a small scream.

Nia wrapped the baked confectionery brought to her by the store owner in a handkerchief and put it in her pocket before...

"Good for you, I'm kind. I'm probably the only one with muddy water, a kick to the stomach, a kick to the face, and a gentle demon (Nightmare) who forgives me just for loathing. The truth is, like you did to me, I wanted to kick you over and over again until you cried out in front of the public, hang cold water, and let you have a wet winter night outside. I'm sweet, so now I forgive you. Oh, yeah. Take this as a cost of medical treatment."

Nia said so, dropping three pieces of silver coins to the ground.

Then he turned his heel back and left.

"Ah, refreshing!! Never felt better!!

Nia still feels like skipping somehow.

And I took the handkerchief wrapped baked sweets out of my pocket.

"Hmm... sweets are delicious there. Coffee didn't taste good."

With that said, Nia has experience brewing coffee and tea...

I had no experience making sweets.

Next time, Nia was determined to try and learn from Siffany.

"Still, why are you trying to put your hand up to me? Did the demon tribe (Nightmare) hang me in muddy water looking down in the depths of my heart and make me angry? Stupid...... if I hadn't done that, I would have forgiven you just for hanging muddy water and loathing it"

No matter how aristocratic you are, you are guilty of assaulting civilians for no reason whatsoever.

Nia naturally knows about that too.

Sure, Nia used to be assaulted.

But that doesn't mean you can go get revenge.

If everyone was avenging whatever he wanted, security would be drastically worse.

There are things you shouldn't do because you are noble.

But...

If it's self-defense, it's not the story.

He grabbed the chest barn and tried to punch the nobleman in the face when he slipped his hand (...) and just hung his coffee.

Even if Nia fought back and kicked him in the stomach and face... there was no choice.

Nia will not be found guilty of anything.

Conversely, that shopkeeper would be guilty of attempted assault.

"Truth is, as much as I want to go through every day and say I hate you... I'll forgive you for that. I don't even want to see your face. And..."

Nia grins with a nigga.

That laugh...

It was a grin that she worships, Elquille-like, intoxicated by abuse, brutal.

"There are still people left who have been violent, abusive, stone-throwing to me."

Like a maiden in love, Nia put her hands on her chest and looked up at the sky.

"Dear Mother, Father. How are you doing by now? Do you abandon your only daughter and live happily ever after? Are you even building a new home? Hehe...... I'm fine. Hurry up, I want to see you...... I wonder where you are"
