The Magician Wants Normality

"That's why..."

The day after Alisa raided the dorm, the two went back to the country.

I thought you were mad at the Demon King, but he just explained the circumstances of this one.

I wasn't asked about any circumstances either, so I'm calling the Demon King's office today.

... but they told me to bring you something to eat. Let's not punish this for trying to delude us this time.

Did you find out I had prototype chiffon cake with my guardian before? You seem to like surprisingly sweet things.

Since you came to this world, you've made yourself a tea person for an in-house gathering because you've been producing sweets, me.

So this was a visit to honor those two?

"Yeah. Because you won't be able to make them understand thoroughly in your own country. If our country takes the form of protest, we can't take refuge."

"... very handy, huh?

"With that arrangement, it would be hard to punish people from all over the world if they wanted to, wouldn't it? I'm not from the country. So based on past events, we have the right measures."

So you don't let the otherworlds know that yourself. There will be respite until the final warning.

Well, actually, that's not good enough. The fact that "protests have come from other countries", something that nobles rubbing against when they are worthy of use, will be a great name for punishment.

"Looks like Edward understood better. Said shelter wasn't everything."

"You were scolding me for once, weren't you?

"It didn't seem like I could make you understand. Like you said, I think there was a problem with education."

Right after that commotion yesterday.

I reported it to the Demon King as a different view of the world.

You should have told me how my actions affect my surroundings and what the consequences are, right?

You don't understand teaching a "runaway civilian" the same way you teach a "born noble"?

Were you doing something that made you understand the importance in the first place?

If Alisa lived in a wealthy house as unconstrained as a nobleman in the original world, it would have been a 'gentle lady a little shallow but honest and reflective'.

It is unpleasant and feels loved by everyone. It's like everyone can't get serious and angry if they also ask why their flighty behavior is.

It would be a pretty good category if I were a civilian in my world.

"Shouldn't we have understood each other from the discrepancy in our perception of position?

"Yeah, that's why I'm telling your opinion over there, too. I don't know what kind of judgment that will be."

You don't know what's going on over there, do you?

"You just have to let them live in an aristocratic society once and for all without question. If you get frustrated with the rogue, you'll wear it desperately."

... I don't even know this education policy.

Even though there was support, do you say you're sorry to compare that situation to me who won?

By the way, Demon King? Your educational policy seems to have been stunning even Count Volin of Ilfena.

Was it the education of the freak (= powerful) standard, that one?

- Barraksin Royal Castle and Linus' office (Linus point of view)

"... Again? But this..."

"We're responsible, too, aren't we? Anyway, it's from another world."

I exhale deeply. Would it be natural if I looked at the report from Irfena in my hand?

I have been entrusted with this matter by my brother, the King, under my jurisdiction. Honestly, the king must not have expected it from both of us. That is why I was entrusted with the task of not requiring a report between spectacle-like glances.

"Edward, Alisa. You can't leave this as uncertain as ever. Didn't even protests come from other countries for not changing their attitudes to repeated reprimands? You can't blame it on my country."

"... Yes. We will punish you with any punishment."

There is no sign of shelter for Alisa in Edward's words. What the hell kind of change of heart he's been desperately protecting.

He has looked at this one as well when he accidentally turned to the recard he had withheld nearby.

Was this... a rather tight sermon?

The man in charge of Irfena must have been His Highness Elshon. His common name is certain......

Think that far. I turned my first pity on both of you.

... the load would not have been too heavy for these two. There is no way that the rumored figure will retain us in a fervent pursuit until the "Demon King". He is so tough on other countries that he wonders if he knows the word "manipulation".

"Dear Linus, would you allow me to speak?

"Yeah? Yeah, I don't mind."

"Thank you. We want to dissolve the marital relationship. I descend from the position of Assistant Prime Minister and Alisa wants me to live as a civilian in a house owned by my Kannas family. Of course, I'd like your servants and escorts to have something you can trust."

I guess I was pre-informed of Edward's words. It's a wind that's withstanding tears, but I don't see any upset in Alisa.

But the contents are tougher than we thought. I didn't know you would say that out of yourself.

In addition to Edward and Alisa, he also refrains from taking care of Alisa from the beginning, as well as Tristan, who was a former guardian. They seemed speechless, just like me.

"Edward. What the hell kind of a change of heart are you that sheltered Alisa so much? I'd like to know why, if possible."

"Yes, because we realized that we only perceived words as superficial....... I've made the compassion hidden in the harsh words unscathed, and I've thought of those who spoke not only as cold people. Wouldn't that be a good reason?"

"... well. You guys looked back and realized it yourselves."

"Yeah. You won't even be forgiven as a nobleman. So at least you're leaving."

It's not like the two of us didn't have allies. But Edward and Alisa depended on each other while trumpeting those who spoke harsh words. How many times have you thought you were like the protagonist of a tragedy?

But they didn't seem to be fools to end the story with tragedy. As for him who has watched, he is pleased.

"Looks like you were right about letting Ilfena go. I don't know what it was like to notice."

Aside from the fact that she accidentally reacted to the words she mouthed with a breath of relief, it was Alisa.

"His Highness Elshon and Dear Mizki... I think it was because there were words from people from different worlds. I, Master Mizuki, taught me a lot. Why do you need to behave as a nobleman and how annoying running away can be to people?"

"Lord Mizuki is strict in his words, but always cared for Alisa. The most obvious thing about it is that by saying," There's nothing to do with it, "you've erased the possibility that you and Alisa will be compared."

That would mean you denied stepping on Alisa as a comparable object.

Alisa's not retarded either, you mean she tried to understand if there was even a compelling reason.

That, that is.

"I must apologize to you too. Especially Alisa."

"Ha... yes"

"I saw the report from Ilfena and now I'm convinced of you guys.... that Alisa's education could not be the same as her aristocratic counterparts. Now let me apologize, that I gave up my role without even giving you the education you needed. I'm sorry."

"La...... Dear Linus!?

I bow my head at the same time I tell you. Yes, this is an apology for ever thinking of Alisa as a stupid daughter.

If they are aware of what they have done, we must not turn a blind eye to them.

"Edward, Alisa. Do you have any idea why Lord Linus was so hard on you?

Tristan speaks out in a calm voice.

Right, if I miss now, I won't have a chance to talk to you. I don't need to know anything else.

"This country has a great deal of power in the Church. You know how you talk so often in politics, right?

"Yes."

"This country has inheritance rights only for boys. The first king did not have the next boy longer than the present king was born. So when Linus was born, anxiety also arose with great joy."

"Why? You're a long-awaited prince, aren't you?

Alisa's questions in particular. But Edward seems to have guessed.

Take over Tristan's words. I open my mouth.

"My brother and I are apart of age. Naturally, my older brother and I are getting closer. Inheritance rights are higher for the king's son, but I'm in a position to be quite influential, too.... What happens if the royal family with the highest right of inheritance attaches to the church?

"Ah!"

"In the past, they gained power when a royal family who could not actually be king was attached to the church. Even if I don't want to, some nobles will try to use it. So I gave up my inheritance waiting for a boy to be born on my brother."

"From an early age, Master Linus has tried to be a better royalty than anyone else to protect his country. There was no reason to show the gap, it was possible that with a little caution, the country would be inclined, not just itself."

There are many of the nobles connected to the Church. For those people, I would have looked like a great pawn.

I try in some way to make a difference with the royal family and attach it to the church side. That was what they were after.

My brother really adored me for being away from my age, and the Lady Dowager had mercy on me like a mother of fruit. The sisters are the same.

That's why I swore I wouldn't do what they thought. Because as long as there is a pledge to devote my entire life to the royal family as well as the renunciation of my inheritance rights, I will not be their pawn.

"Alisa, there was a chance that you could use it. You can never just be protected by someone, you have to protect yourself. That's why I put Ricard on guardian. It was tougher than it had to be."

"Oh no... I wish you'd said a word"

"There would always have been a nobleman beside you trying to use you, wouldn't there? Besides... even you in question were allowed to marry Edward because of that background. Did you believe Edward when you heard him say that?

……

Alisa shakes her neck sideways without force. I guess so, basically this girl is cowardly. It would be natural for anyone to distrust a marriage that just looks like a political marriage.

"The wound is deep enough to say it's past. I won't get to see you again... but have a peaceful life."

That's what I say and smile. Ricards and Tristan are smiling as well, I guess this is a happy ending.

So I don't dream of other possibilities.

"Thank you, thank you"

"Oh, that! I really wanted to say something!

Alisa laughs beautifully even though she weeps just like Edward.

"Always, always turn your mind...... thank you!

The first and last words of gratitude and smile are.

I'm sure it will remain vivid among us.
