Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 8: Magic Eyes and Natural Magic

The world is beautiful.

The grace of the sun, the healing of the wind, the warmth of man, the taste of rice.

It is strangely refreshing. Even at the casino till morning, I was flying this and the instructions.

I felt like the president, and I got a little drunk to give instructions.... just a little bit?

Never bore a guest while preparing a calm pickle.

Fill the hole with conversations you don't love.

"Dear Lislit, aren't you with Renoir today? If you can come later, you have to cook extra rice."

Zee asks her who was staring at us.

"Lulu's sister went somewhere infidel without training well. I don't need it."

So, is it the left side? I understand. "

A purple twin tail [tie of three fairies] that has become a regular routine welcomes the three women Lislit and works in a peaceful salon where yesterday's disturbances are like lies.

The refined aromatic green tea is served to the rhythm, followed by....

"... I tried to make something like this, if you don't mind."

"I can eat anything that's made of glass."

When you're alone, try steaming a cup of tea into a sweet little rhythm.

Honestly, it's still incomplete.

If only Celeste could make me that soup... Even one of the ingredients won't tell me, that girl.

"... so delicious. I was surprised. This is what I'm going to do."

"Yes, sir."

The poisonous tongue that has been going on since the first encounter seems to be a lie. It's really healing...

Do you really like it? I ate one bite and said so, and started eating steamed tea bowls with a wooden spoon.

"--Glass, it's over"

"You're getting faster every day. Talent is terrible."

I took a bath... and came back to the salon like that, Princess Erica.

Today is the day of intensive practice of "three uses of magic manipulation".

After practicing basic swordsmanship, I trained Hakto to cut cloth with a magical knife. Even though Princess Erica also has a "rift" that explodes afterwards.

I was going to have you worried about it in the usual forest for about 30 minutes.

Then only Princess Erica came home very quickly.

"How was Hakt-san?

"Mhh, uhh... I'm so frustrated. I wouldn't hit Shannon or Oswald, but when I tried to teach you, he yelled at me.

Take care of the sword offered by the disgruntled princess Erica.

"... I'll tell you what to do. And for a while, I want you to try and make mistakes and think for yourself."

As a rival-conscious hack, it would only be stress if Princess Erica talked.

Sometimes it sounds like a story from above.

"Hmm... that's fine. Oswald seemed strange, and I couldn't easily ask him around. Those two."

"Looking around? A princess?

Of course, it's only where the permit came from, but why is that necessary?

"That's right. Occasionally, they punish the city's picky malpractices and outlaws."

"... do you call it 'walking around' in this country? In my hometown, it's called" warden. "

A bloody princess.

"Anyway, give those two time to think and worry. Young people also need time to say that."

"... that's all I'm gonna tell you. Let me just say that I'm stuck in there even though I'm from behind."

"I'm taking care of you at a level that I can say I'm close to you anymore, but even if you say it's just that way... If it goes any further, it will be nursing care, right?

She complains modestly to Princess Erica, who sits on a rock and stretches her feet.

"I said something rude again. Hmm... ah, that's right."

An infidel princess, Erica, remembers something and fishes her bag.

"... Liz. Would you give this to the glass?

"Okay.... glass"

The material taken out of the bag is passed from Princess Erica to Lislit and to me, who was preparing the tea.

"Thank you very much.... what is this?

"Secret investigative material."

The glass that was trying to reach into the contents of the document stops.

"... yes, no, I've come around like a circuit board. Secret investigative material....."

What do you want me to do with a servant like this?

"Once, Mr. Lislit is also passing through.

"It's okay. Because it's an explanation from Juan, speculation, and so on. If you don't talk about the curse, there's no problem."

Don't lose sight of the rhythm of steaming tea bowls.

"... Erica's steamed tea bowl."

"Oh? That's a new one. Ahhh, I wanted to be the best glass in everything. My butler has been popular lately."

"I'll first taste what the captain has to offer, so that's usually the best."

I even had porridge this morning. It was no good. It's tough, that man.

"Heh, that's right. It's about the glass, so I thought we were trying."

"... don't treat people like mad scientists."

While having such a conversation, Princess Erica cooks one steamed cup of tea with a wooden spoon and eats it to taste.

"... wow. This is really delicious."

"I'm sorry. Please look forward to learning and improving the" best stock "no matter what you do in the future."

Read through the investigation materials as you consolidate your determination to steal the recipe from the perfect beautiful girl Celeste.

"……………" Is it possible to have "magic magic” and “magic eyes”? I don't know if it would lead to a curse, but it's a possibility. "

"Just as Juan predicted.... this is nice. The one with the pull is the most delicious, but the meat and mushrooms feel good."

I'm pretty glad you're obsessed with steaming teacups.

"Regardless of the magic eye... I don't really understand the magic inherent in it."

"Same as Magic Eyes. The reason is mysterious, but it's a unique magic planted by the person since birth."

Rizlit gives me advice.

She's cute. I think I have a sister.

"The famous ones are Scarlet Crystal, which is said to have covered the earth with burning crystals in the tale, and Wanchai, which is said to have been used by fellow First Warriors. But there are far more owners of the Magic Eye. Inherent magic is very powerful and rare."

It tells me everything I'm good at here.

"There's nothing powerful about the Magic Eye, but there are many unique things that may be related to the curse."

"Eh, Juan was telling the truth. Hee, we have to investigate this."

In Rizlit's explanation, Princess Erica began to make worrying remarks.

"... aren't you punished?

"Terrible thing to say.... don't worry. I've been preached, and I've been forbidden to investigate."

Quickly, the sleeve is pulled.

"If it's the Magic Eye, it's bad."

"When I was talking about it, it sounded like natural magic was stronger... wasn't it?

I don't know at all because I can't use magic or magic.

There's nothing but fraudulent talk.

"Natural magic is stronger.... but the Magic Eye can be exercised immediately without building a magical formation."

"No way... can I use it just by looking at it?

"I use a lot of magic, but I just need to see it."

I'm sorry.

My pet can certainly use the magic eye.

When Lilia and Lerga came to my castle, it was good not to meet Hisahide.

"Ahhh, I don't think we're going out until the escapees are caught....."

"Escapees?

"Didn't I tell you? All three of the killers escaped. Two of them are one of the reasons Madame was suspected... but when I think about it, the glass is the most resentful."

Hate me....?

♢♢♢

"... hah!!

A knife that swings down with a sense of temper.

You can use white magic and slash it with momentum.

"... damn it..."

But the cloth is not completely cut off, and the incision is messy.

"... why don't you take a break? Even if you have magic, your mind won't recover.

Shannon, the second daughter of [three sisters of bond], who was sitting down on the edge of the wooden cub and watching, proposes to take a break from the frustrating hack.

"No, I can still do it. I'm sorry... but I'm worried."

"I'm just... worried about myself.... Hakt-kun seems a little scared lately because of his indifference."

I noticed the colour of anxiety in my eyeglasses.

"... that's... but I think you'll get used to it just by using magic..."

"I think I'm fine, too."

Oswald, who was practicing his bow at a distance, showed understanding as he walked towards Hakt.

"Earlier, Erica advised me to" relax my shoulders ”and“ don't put too much magic in it ”, but after all, it's hard to tell because it's a word. In that case, wouldn't it be better for ants to make their own gum shark and remember it with their bodies?

"That's right... alright!

I get lost in the words of my friends and get excited.

But this wasn't the end of the story.

"- It's just...

Oswald's face was more serious than I've ever seen.

"I was going to say it, and I couldn't cut it out until today... but I thought about it again the other day."

"... what are you doing?

Oswald speaks with a firm will to Hakt, who gets a bad feeling from the serial atmosphere.

"... Hakto, Erica, and I shouldn't have stuck our heads in the case."

……

It was a whisper that was stopped by a few people, in a way familiar with listening.

"Regardless of this matter, it's all about the case. [Black Demon King], Enzionism, Kudjaro, everything."

"Why....."

Why do you say that?

Naturally, I doubt it, but Oswald's insistence on not giving up at all pushes him to stop.

"It's not a lifetime, is it? Of course it is. I can't forgive the bad guys, and I want to save someone."

To make it easier for Hakt to understand, Oswald chooses a word and cuts it out.

"What I'm trying to say is,“ Let's fight when we have the strength we deserve. ”That's all."

"... appropriate? How much does it deserve? I don't know what to say, but Erica and I can fight much better than our own soldiers."

"Not enough"

There were clear criteria for Oswald's proportionality.

"The Black Knight was on our side. Halmar was helped by the Black Knight. [Black Demon King] missed it. Mr. Glass helped me become a Whiplasher and Juan's teacher.... to be clear, it's all about luck and others."

"That's it...."

I can't deny it. There's no way I can do it.

Because it is a fact.

A level of luck that I think is protected by the power of God at the earliest.

"When I say I deserve it, I mean... graduate from school and protect my life from these powerful enemies at least."

……

I have no objection.

Even in my head, I understand that this is the right thing to do.

There is no way that those who cannot protect their lives can save others from demon kings and powerful enemies.

"... no, but... It almost happened unexpectedly, didn't it? I don't know how to do that..."

"Please run away. From something unexpected.... no matter how strong your enemies are, will you, Hakto?

Sure, it happened around here, but there's no need to get involved.

Oswald just this time... no, if I recall it well, he often suggested a retreat from the past.

"Even if the weak are being oppressed in front of you, run if you have a slight chance of being invincible. Let's make a promise here. This is the patience you need. It's a promise we need to make before we get stronger."

……

I'm sure Oswald is right.

But when I think of someone suffering in front of me... I turn my back...

"... let me tell you, I'm a friend of yours, so leave me alone..."

"Oh, I know."

"... is that...?"

A stubborn but honest hack is very easy to understand by words alone.

Laugh bitterly and be prepared to persuade.

"... Oswald. After all, I can't abandon myself if I suffer in front of my eyes."

……

The black knight comes to mind.

That man turned his back on the weak, no matter how disadvantaged he was... I didn't think he'd be surprised.

The identity is unknown, even though I have only spoken a few times.

"I'm not the only one. I bet Erica does. That's why..."

After bitterly laughing at straight Hakt, Oswald tells the story of his past experience.

"--I lost my grandfather with such reckless justice."

……

……

Hakt and Shannon, who watched quietly, lost their words.

"I had a respected grandfather. But I fell to the blade to protect the foolish me who had sailed alone to save my abducted childhood friend."

……

I can't make a sound.

I have no experience saying that my family members will die protecting themselves, and I feel unbearable sadness just by imagining it.

"It is the end of a runner who is proud to be able to use a little of his unusual abilities.... I followed you because you were reckless."

I met him in Stoot's city and thought he followed him in the wind from his slender personality.

Or maybe Oswald himself was unconscious at the time.

"It's too late to lose it. And that possibility is rolling everywhere. In fact, the Demon King was one step closer to being robbed, wasn't he?

Oswald speaks, distancing himself from Hakt.

"Hakt-kun. Do you remember the black knight's dialog when we first met?“ Justice without power is inferior to evil. "That's right, really. It puts at risk the lives not only of yourself, but also of fellow citizens and others. Life that doesn't have to be scattered... scattered."

……

I didn't think it was a lie.

Oswald's expression of grief seeped out.

It is clear that he is still suffering.

"But you may not be convinced. That's how you came to live. [M] Without decisive regret like mine, the way of life cannot change. [M] So... let's decide in a duel."

"Nh...."

"It's the nobility, isn't it? Naturally, in our case, it's not a life deal, it's a serious deal. Follow the winner as to which is right. Would you like to?

Oswald had prepared a training wooden dagger and a mock battle bow and arrow with a crushed arrow butt to prepare him for battle.

"Um, you don't have to do that...."

"... I mean it."

Shannon shouted at the boulder, but Oswald's determination remained unchanged.

I knew that this duel was inevitable between the two men, who were stupid and whose claims remained unchanged.

"I'm serious. I think you and Erica are dear friends."

Oswald closes his eyes to calm his mind.

"Neither do we!

"That's why. I don't want to lose anymore, and I don't want to see you lose anything.... that's why..."

A unique magical formation emerges in Oswald's eyes, which opened their eyes with a firm determination to defeat his friends.

"Eh, Magic Eyes!?

……

Shannon noticed a step ahead of the magic eye, and Hakuto became surprised.

"... I won't give up. You haven't changed either. If you don't give up either, let's fight and decide. If you can't beat me, there's no way to talk."

……

Oswald is strong.

Once, Erica and I crossed each other in close combat only (...).
