The Magician Wants Normality

The day after I made out with Alisa and the others.

We traveled to Alberda. So far there is no chaser and peace.

Hi, as far as Mr. Rise and the others react, it looks like Kivera hasn't made a stand, the power of the fort event is amazing.

In particular, that seems to have happened because the upper echelons of the country have a very decent response.

You give priority to the Avengers (tentative) over the strongest trump card of the pledge, right?

"Don't you mind, wear it so well"

"Never mind."

It is Mr. Rickard who returns it that way.

He appreciates my tipping and sends me to the Alberda border.

Even more perversely, Mr. Rise's spoken words allowed him to use the Metastases near the border.

Everyone knows who they are when they get here. What's the point of hiding it?

No, Mr. Rise must have used these means because he thought we were aware of it.

"Are you stopping or replacing the stopping fee"

…… Sorry, I can't answer that. "

"So it feels like, 'You're going to be busy, so just dump the dangerous people in another country'?

……

"Silence is an affirmation, Guardian."

Further into it, he turned away silently.

You haven't been subtly hidden from me, Mr. Ricard.

No, you can't. It's like, "What do you think? I have to tell you about it!

"Well, Mizuki sounds like fun"

"Fun......!?

"Oh, you're playing with Lord Ricard."

"You can't both screw around!

A gentle glance returns a pleasant laugh.

Looks like you two are having fun. Friends, you guys are awful enough.

Mr. Rickard was stunned this time by what he called a backup shooting of Cecil and Emma.

Looking back at this one unexpectedly, the conversation seemed to be listening well.

"Not now."

"That's right. Besides, isn't Mizuki trying to teach you the drawbacks of Ricard?

I agree with Cecil snorting at Emma's words as she laughs and peeps at me.

Oh, I knew you'd notice.

But it's a drawback that's easy enough for both of us to understand.

Mr. Rickard, the subject he was told, seems to be tilting his inner neck as he returns his gaze to me.

Well, it may be hard to tell if it's in person. Let me tell you something special.

"It's too serious."

"What?"

"The thinking is too hard. Even if you're impatient, you won't break the form of an escort, so anyone who knows who Mr. Rise is will find out."

"Naturally I am loyal to my duties..."

"Yeah, usually. But if you take the same attitude while you're at it, it's only gonna mark you, right? Besides, what kind of a poison connoisseur would you call a nobleman?

The attitude of Mr. Edward and Mr. Ricard over the past two days has been truly discernible.

Whatever goes into your mouth first, you two get your hands on it first. The condition that Mr. Rise hands after the two of them have spoken.

This is probably because I'm a magician, so I left my antidote magic props to stay out of sight.

No wonder nobles have it, but this setting is' Nobles who visited a friend's house '. You're not worried about poisoning me, are you?

Guess there was some point in showing them that they were close enough to introduce their guests and trusted them.

In addition, if I were to say so, there is no way I would speak lightly of information to a person in such a position that he must always wear a demonic prop of detoxification.... if normal.

If Edward's close friend is off the elite course and he's not at risk of poisoning, he won't be the first to think he's involved in the center of the country.

Mr. Rickard was depressed when he was honest.

They didn't think their attitude was the cause of the position being seen through.

"Mr. Rickard's attitude is the same as Kingsguard's working attitude, so hey." I will protect you! 'You'll soon find out who the important person is when they claim to be the best. You better be careful. "

"I don't know what to say, but I don't think you'd find out if I treated Lord Rise as a friend? It's not unnatural that Lord Ricard, who seems to be keen on martial arts, should be able to detect a crisis or resist it."

"Master Rise is somewhat of a civilian. Especially when it comes to leading the conversation."

It's a boulder, you two.

I mean... you walk normally in Kivera, you guys!

Well, that's how you made the settings. If you didn't find out about that, it sure seems to work.

Cecil and Emma's words are really accurate. Certainly not impossible then.

I understand each other's strengths if friends feel comfortable even if they have different areas of expertise.

If there is imminent danger, he who is skilled in martial arts will be in charge, and if he wants to let the conversation play, he who is skilled in speaking will be in charge.

From the beginning, people will be convinced if I say something like, "We have things that don't belong to each other, so we're good friends."

Then if you say something like 'I'm always ready because I don't have the art of protecting myself', even if I have demonic props for detoxification and junctions, I'll be suspicious. In fact, there are many nobles like that.

"Well... I do have something in mind."

"Conversely, if you can get someone to behave royally, you can deal with it when they're after you, too, right?

"What?"

"It's not a very praiseworthy way to do it, but it means to make it look good. A hallucinogenic magic trick would be enough to fake it, wouldn't it?

It's impossible for a person attached to an escort to protect anything other than that subject. So what happens if we check the safety of another person when the subject is targeted?

Naturally, the Raiders assume that the person concerned at that time is' real '.

After that, you can hide it from the people around you, just as you predetermined a real escort target that made you think it was fake.

It's an inhuman way of putting your replacement at risk, but it's natural to prioritize royalty. Even if Mr. Ricard takes it for granted that he will sacrifice himself, he won't think of a way to sacrifice and protect someone.

"You really don't think like a civilian. Is that a gift of education, too?

"That's the place. I'm not a good man, and I'm not going to be a hypocrite."

Returning that, Mr. Ricard silences himself with a look that seems complicated.

Yeah, you don't have to trust me. You must protect what is important to you at your discretion.

You should just remember that there is also a 'way to do that'.

"Why are you telling me that? It's not like I owe you any favors, is it?

"You have no advantage or benefit. But, Mr. Rise, don't you want us to die easily?"

"Is this for Alisa?

"There's that too. But he's a personal waste."

grin, and laugh.

There would have been people beside Glenn who were on my side as well.

The Rises are definitely 'allies' to Alisa. I think so when I look at her attitude.

There's no way that all those frightened kids around would normally treat nobles and knights.

It's no wonder I'm a favorite of the same otherworldly people who see 'people on my side without interest', right?

If you have the purpose of getting information out of me, you'd better use Alisa.

But they didn't try to involve Alisa.

That's enough, both of you.

"Well. It's time for the border. I'd like to see a little something, so I'll go first."

That's what I'm saying. Leave them and go first.

I know it's okay, but I've never been more vigilant. If the chaser shows up with Mr. Ricard accompanied, he'll be suspected of complicity. We have to avoid that.

"Be careful."

Cecil and the others don't dare come after us because we know what the purpose is.

You wouldn't worry excessively even in the sense that the escort shows that it's a journey with no problems coming off somewhat.

And I turned my attention to the border.

Ricard drops off Mizuki's posterior with a puzzled look.

On that look Cecil and Emma spoke out, buying time as well.

"What is it, Lord Ricard?"

"No... I don't know if Lord Mizuki is terrible or kind."

I would not spare any useful information if I thought you would smile and blackmail me for Alisa.

Advise the knight, albeit with the ruthlessness of slashing others flat for purpose.

I would still have been convinced of her behavior if it had any advantage at all.

So much so that I thought so, that her words and actions appeared to Ricard to be inexperienceable.

"You don't have to think hard. Mizuki is just being honest with himself."

"Be honest with yourself......?

"It is true that we are clearly positioning what needs to be prioritized. But it doesn't kill personal feelings."

"You're always thinking about getting the best results, but I'm not willing to neglect anything else. Instead of giving it unilaterally, I guess it's because I've been educated like that that that tends to give results to the subjects I reach out to."

For example, the information received this time.

Depends on who gets the information to take advantage of it or throw it away. What Mizuki did was just 'hang up', and it is Baraxin who produces the results.

"Preparing a place for education" is not a complete protection for Alisa.

It only inspired her and her surroundings to grow and become a changing cut.

The discomfort with Mizuki disappears in the recard to Cecil, who explains it lightly.

And I also understood what you two said.

"Should her actions be considered… divided into congruence of interests and personal thoughts"

"That's the thing. It's too unnatural to bracket everything with unanimity of interest, and vice versa, it's beyond the scope of the individual no matter what you think to bracket it with personal emotion."

"That's why it's so hard to tell if you don't notice. He knows that, and he's got that attitude."

Nothing is more terrifying than "I can't read my thoughts". It is almost impossible to take measures at all costs.

On the contrary, an overwhelming force would have been easy. There is only one option: 'Prevent' or 'Defeat the enemy'.

"I see, then I can somehow understand. It's her defense against being prejudged."

"That's the thing. So we believe in Mizuki even if we don't understand her behavior. He told me he was on our side."

It is not only trust that is there, but also the unanimity of interests.

That's why I have nothing to doubt. Because it is imperative for Mizuki's wishes to be fulfilled.

Ricard looks surprised at Emma's words, who made him smell like there were some circumstances in the dark, but Emma refuses to answer with that smile.

The same goes for Cecil. Ricard is convinced that the two are above the aristocratic class.

"I'm sure she's sweet... even 'overwhelming power' is going to flatly turn to the enemy for you, the 'friends'"

"Hehe, you're right. I'm sure Mizuki will."

…… You'll do it. "

So when they cut off the conversation, the three of them move on to Mizuki's waiting border.

'I wish I didn't know', I don't need any more conversation.

"Oh, yeah. This is my solitaire."

Stopped inadvertently. Ricard looked back at Cecil and Emma.

"Be blessed with those who face misery. I hope your journey ends happily ever after."

The only thing you can give away is that word.

Still, I'm sure the missing favors will be passed on to them.

It was not long before Ricard then thought of the meaning of the word 'livestock' in various ways, and he was again troubled by the judgment.

"This way, please. Master Glenn will arrive soon."

……

I broke up with Mr. Ricard just before I crossed the border.

Shortly after I showed the Alberda guards my travel documents.

"What about you!? Here you go!

With that dialogue, the guards guided me to the room behind the stuffing.

Tea is also served and treated as a guest. What the hell happened?

"Uh. We're ordinary people."

The guard bowed his head deeply if he was surprised by the treatment, which was too ordinary.

So, I say, I'm a civilian......!

"I'm sorry, there was a lack of explanation. We have received orders from Glenn to entertain our guests."

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I wonder if you're the cause!

You're freaking out!? I thought you were going to be detained!

Didn't they wonder before that? I can't believe the guest of the person said to be the general is a little girl of both age and identity.

The guard laughed and continued the words as such emotions appeared on his face.

"We were former men of that one. Some newcomers are saved. Glenn would be happy to take it on."

"Heh... Glenn is admired, isn't he?"

He nods loudly at the words he whimpered casually.

"That one doesn't just produce results, think things through the people's point of view. How much more salvation for us that such a person earns the king's trust..."

"Ahhh... there was a civil unrest"

"Yes, I am ashamed to say that our country has been rough for a king and those who are only in his mood. It is now His Majesty the King who has struggled to rebuild our country together."

I don't know the details, but there must have been a lot of trouble. Is the king who brought such an end to the times for them a hero, and those who supported the king a venerable being?

Well, Glenn, I can tell you that you're one of the ideal neighbors if you don't think about your personal woes.

Anyway, he was originally a commoner. Its specific gravity leans toward the people in a very close position.

Besides, if you have the art of harnessing the knowledge of other worlds, you will not hesitate to use it for the sake of those who have reached out to you.

It has nothing to do with good or evil there. Glenn was just desperate again.

"There you are!

The voice of the young man is somewhere delightful. I find my friend first and smile when I see him being caught by the words.

"Long time no see, Glenn"

"Well done, Mizuki. Then let's welcome the two of 'Escorts'."

Hey, for once, our setup is Irfena's three daughters.

Tell me that your friend is in a position to be escorted even though someone else is listening.

But.

"Dear Glenn. Was she of the aristocratic class?

"Um, it's the daughter of the Kingsguard Knights Commander."

Yes?

It's your first ear, isn't it? No, there was a 'mother' statement!?

The conversation of the poor guard who is fooling me elsewhere with Glenn continues.

"If you leave me alone, I will follow my parents' backs and join the Knights. Let my doctor, Lord Gordon, be my disciple to the court doctor."

"Such a lady is a knight, is she?

"Shouldn't I insult you? He's a magician."

"Oh my... you're brilliant"

... Hello?

Red Cat. You're not lying to me.

A letter is handed to you when you stare at it with your eyes and say, "I have received a letter in advance from your parents."

"To Mizuki.

You do know that your false identity makes you an apprentice to the court doctor, don't you?

The Kingsguard knights offered to help us avoid further suspicion of it.

As I heard, you are the daughter of the Knights of Kingsguard and his wife.

That's why Mother spoke the other day, right? They're recording footage)

Don't worry, the Kingsguard knights will testify that it's true.

Even if you act through it, if you set yourself up as the daughter of that couple, you'll be deluded!

Lord Glenn has explained it to me, so we need to talk.

……

Demon King.

You were funny and you kept your mouth shut with us at Ilfena...?

Was that pseudo-parent-child conversation this makeover?!?

Cecil and the others, who were peering into the letter from behind, are also turning their raw warm gaze at me.

"It's tough with that guardian."

"Were your parents made before you knew it?"

I think I'm going to hear those words.

"Do you want to move for now? Think about it later, Mizuki."

"... yes"

Follow Glenn to get in the carriage.

Now, Glenn... what is Alberda's policy?
