The Magician Wants Normality

― ― In the room where Ilfena King Castle Rudolph stays Rudolph perspective

Every time Mizuki sent me a letter, I was happy to tell her the status quo. Mizuki once asked me to do this, but I can't help it.

The work was plain, but this was my job. The reason, of course, is that I'm the hardest to find out about Elsch-On. I feel totally like a brother who plays games with his brother.

Until now, bystanders - so to speak, I was the party this time. I don't want you to be happy...!

"Well, it's never been complimented."

Unexpectedly, I mean it with words out my mouth. Because I know that, and only if Mizuki asks me for help have I become an ally.

This is still the king of one country. You can't just move with your personal emotions.

But this time it was special. Even though the aim is Elsch-on, I'm in trouble.

― ― Because I am a "party," I can act with all my heart.

Of course, you'll need to face Ilfena. But it is also necessary to stand up well to prevent a country called Zebrest from tasting.

That's why I chose the position of "Mizuki's accomplice".

There's no way he's watching his own cat in silence after he's been put in danger. Of course, personally speaking, I'm one of Mizuki's kind. I'm also angry at you for raiding too selfish.

... but as long as I have a position and identity fence, I can't move as freely as Mizuki. Ilfena is the one who is making me stay. That's right, I can't be reckless.

However, there was nothing Mizuki could do about it - power and backup support from Ilfena.

Seeing each other's advantages, we immediately teamed up.

Sail said, "When I met him, I felt it when I gripped my hands tightly."

Sail was the one who wanted to move himself. I guess Mizuki and I had some understanding of our thoughts, so we didn't have a choice to stop.

These are the big differences from Irving, who is the prime minister in his country. Sail tends to look calmer, but it's actually the opposite.

Sail is more like Mizuki, so I think he was irritated by Harvis' poor response.

If there's an announcement of my participation... well, I'll volunteer as an executor. In architecture, it would be "as a guardian, I followed Mizuki", but in reality, "I went for revenge with the wizard" is correct.

This time around, neither I nor Irvy have the words to blame Sayle. I tend to pay attention to the knights of Ilfena, but the same is true of Sayle, who was forced to hold back as a knight.

Besides, I would have ordered you to "consolidate your defenses."

I don't regret not waiting for a sermon from Elshon.

"Mizuki 'The Children' will create a legend of fear for Harvis.... because of that, Ilfena and Zebrest can fit into a 'discussion' frame."

The Prince and the King were raided for an unexplained reason, and the response from the country with the main culprit is unfortunate. In this situation, we can't possibly do it intact.

At a minimum, some retaliatory action will be taken. In the worst case scenario, it would be possible to call it the use of force. Anyway, it was Harvis who did the same thing as declaring war.

... but I don't want Elsch-on to be the first victim of that.

It's not like Elsch-on is good or kind.

This is because it is a waste of time and expense for Harvis.

Because I am educated as a royalty with Elsh-on, these are some of the things that are silvia. I don't want to waste anything more than I can take from a country called Harvis.

Elsh-on and Mizuki are very similar to each other in terms of their interests. That cat's parents and children all came to the thought of "I don't expect idiots" and "waste of time and money, no".

The pursuit of profits minimizes damage, costs, and time, including in your own country. I'm sure Elsch-on can be the patron of the merchants... because the circuit of thought is close to the merchants who think at a loss.

Mizuki and the others understand that they have similar thoughts, so it is easy to talk to each other. Not only does it not act, but Elsch-on's thought circuit is also close to Mizuki.

However, the difference was between Mizuki and Elshun's position. That difference is manifested in Mizuki's behavior this time.

"This time it's just 'personal retaliation of the wizard'. But Harvis will be in a hurry. In contrast, Ilfena and Zebrest will reduce drinking. To keep Mizuki under control, Harvis must ask Elshun."

But the opponent is the Second Prince. And Harvis is overwhelmingly at a disadvantage. That's why...

"King Harvis himself will surely emerge from the next discussion. Otherwise, you know Ilfena would refuse to even have a meeting. Whatever they say, King Harvis shall have Elshun suppress Mizuki. Anyway, from the story of the messenger I sent earlier, I got the information that" the magician is fierce enough to never leave a country "and" the magician listens to Elsh-on. "

... I'm not the only Mizuki's accomplice. It's the same as the one who misled the two of us and gathered us in Ilfena.

They all have identities and positions. They will normally think that they are unlikely to tell bad lies after revealing it.

Well, even if you suspect what you've said, it's all true, so there's no problem.

Elsch-on seems to have had a lot of trouble and a little lack of calm. That's why... I didn't even think of the possibility that 'almost everyone is an accomplice'.

It is a fact that we are close to each other individually, so we will be vigilant. But I don't think they have a role to play until they know I'm an accomplice.

"I will provide information to Mizuki, accompany Sail, and protect him by identity. Others instigate the wizard's fear and provide information about the wizard to Harvis. Mizuki and the others attacked there, making the rumored" Mage's Threat "familiar to Harvis."

As a result, King Harvis will come to Ilfena. My best friend is so smart that he is no more merciful.

Whether it is to suppress the cowardice of those who defend the country, or whether it is to cause death or injury, we will do it. With such cruelty, he was recognized as a wizard and allowed to speak equally with people in my position.

I don't know.

The attack on the fort must be accompanied by revenge from the knights who allowed the attack in Ilfena.

Regardless of what Harvis realizes, the regret and situation of 'failure to protect and fulfill his mission' can be attributed to the knights of Ilfena.

--In the first place, Harvis was mistaken for Mizuki.

"Mizuki is not a person who respects justice, nor is he willing to be evil, nor to be muddy. Sacrifice if necessary. It's all about rewarding the results you want and the expectations of your own cat... instead of" Elshun's Protected One, "you should think of it like" Elshun's Only Wild Cat. "

Not a knight, not a magician, not a beloved aristocrat. None of that is helpful. Wildcat self-repayment is very close to Mizuki's reason for action.

There is no fence depending on position or status, and only "fulfilling the wishes of the parent cat", you take actions that you do not even consider advantageous. That's why it's called "Demon King's Black Cat."

It moves to the desired outcome for parents because they are aware that they are being given a comfortable life with a three-meal parent and spoiled. That's the black cat's favor, and it's invincible.

Because the role of the "Gentiles Who Should Not Be" is assumed, "the people of this world can receive the results without hurting themselves."

I was lucky because 'there was a protector in this world who carried the hardship that he didn't have to bear, [taking care of other people personally]'.

If you realize that, Mizuki is not a "guilty wizard" who acts in good faith.

Mizuki is only offering her true gratitude, and if she wants to benefit, the inhabitants of this world should do something first.

It would be arrogant to try to take advantage of it or rely on it in good faith. Mizuki's magical skills and experience are the result of his efforts and the education of those around him. I can't afford to sell it.

"They dropped both the forts, and they made a little trick, so King Harvis definitely saw them coming out first. The next letter is after we've discussed it."

Treat your best friends in distant places. I thought of their pleasant faces, and I smiled like an accomplice.

― ― Meanwhile, at that time, in the barracks.

It's here ♡

"Oh, welcome. I've been waiting."

The black cat and the fox were smiling at each other.
