The night he slaughtered Hobgoblin, Massal was preparing dinner in horror at Adelina, who didn't speak a word.
"... Mr. Adelina? Dinner's ready, though.
……………………………
"Are you still mad at me?
"... I'm not mad at you anymore.
"... well, let's eat.
That's what I'm going to say. I'm going to give the charcoal-grilled yakitori out of the fire.
"Hey, are you sure Massal won't do the king?
"Huh? You're not gonna do it, are you?
"Why not! It's normal to think that if you get a big chance like this, you'll be able to make it!? Why does Masaru let go easily no matter what time he gets something!
For some reason, I got angry, but Masaru was a small citizen working in a Japanese home center, so I raised my salary. I've thought about it, but I've never even thought about making it if I never wanted to get promoted. Instead, I can only remember the appearance of my boss who stayed in the store and cleaned up late after he was told he was promoted, and it was Massal's routine to say no from the bottom of his heart.
"Why... it's troublesome, he's someone who wants to move around in the field rather than work in an office, and he's having trouble with his life.
"... trying to push people for that hassle...
"But Adelina doesn't know right now, but you're the one who wanted to be a part of it if you had a chance, right? I was actually left to run the city and live.
"That's right, though!
"So what are you unhappy about?
"Not my power! I'm not really the most trusted representative of what I've built! You're really the one who counts most, and you're the one who can do it best! What I know!
Like intimidating you with a face that's about to cry out, "Ugh!" I gently put my hands on Adelina's head, roaring, and stroke her.
"Adelina's doing her best. I'm not the one who's counting on that, Adelina.... Even if I say I'm counting on you, I'm an emergency officer... and maybe the only time I stand out is when everyone's in trouble. Think about it... always try politics at my level... who can follow me? No doubt Adelina can't get married and get chased to work, right?
"Marriage... I still don't have someone to do it with...
"For the most part, if you let me have any more power, the rest of the country will stop breathing.
"Sure... maybe Masaru is peaceful enough to be playing around with an assistant or so.
"Yeah, well, he's interacting with God. He's going to have a hard time stopping or something!
Adelina cheeks the roasted chicken as she looks at the gahaha laughing masaru with her jizz and eyes.
"That's all I really want you to give me a break.
