The Magician Wants Normality

During the sight, it is enclosed in different air.

Sometimes it will be frozen, because Kivera admitted defeat. Moreover, the meritorious men who made it possible were the avengers of the country that Kivera had once destroyed.

It's not a 'doom' or 'flourish' settlement, because Kivera will continue to do so with her wounds.

Against the Avengers... there is no place ahead. They knew it and risked everything to pay off. I guess death wasn't even something to be afraid of.

He has such a bright look on his face because that wish came true.

"Well, then, negotiations must be in place."

"Right. You'll listen to our wishes, won't you?

In the meantime, it was decided in the future. Ask the Demon King to confirm that, and he will smile "Please" while tilting his neck gently.

It's an angel smile, demon king. But you're intimidating me. 'Get out of here, you stupid cat!' It just sounds like they're scolding me.

No, I guess you're actually scolding me. On the day I said 'no' or something here, I would be held aside around Al and forced out. I'm sure it handles baggage. As an image, a parent cat carrying a kitten.

"... I'll ask, because I'm a guardian. Then you're Zebrast next. I forgive only one knight for escorting King Kivela, because he doesn't look like a great power. I'll heal your injuries."

King Kivera will look unexpected in my words of allowing escorts.

"Do you give Non the power to protect himself?"

"Rather than the art of defending myself, I want you to apologize 'as king'. Not prisoners or sinners."

The people who knew what it meant when they told them with a grin would look like they were convinced.

"I mean, he wants me to kneel as king of a great power, not an apology for the loser"

"It's like that. It's more worthwhile letting a wolf with fangs keep his head down than crawling a loser, isn't it?

"... you're really unforgiving."

Brother Cecil, don't you think I'm such an elegant interpreter of a civilian? Words are the difference in the first place, meaning or acting the same!

And that's the kind of guy you guys were hostile to, Kibera Momentum, who has a cramped face. Thank you, Demon King and Prime Minister.

"Then the Avengers will be temporarily deposited in Irfena. They're Kivela's nobles, but Mizuki wants to ask them something, too, right?

"You do. Looks like he was getting help where he didn't know it, and he left it like this and punished me with Kivera for not listening to anything... oh my god, I'll break out"

"... that is. I'd like you to agree."

The Demon King exhales at me with a good smile and says, 'Still good.' He asks King Kivera for his opinion.

King Kivela nodded, slightly distracting his face as to whether he had identified me as a dangerous person or whether he would have trouble treating them.

There is no guarantee that the loyalists will not harm the traitors while they are away. If they are to be killed there, the second tragedy awaits. As a king, I guess it's true that the Demon King's suggestion would be appreciated.

"Fine. I'll leave the punishment to you.... I can't let the Wizard ruin me any more."

"It's wise."

It's a boulder, King Kivera. I saw excellent situational judgment skills even in this condition. Seems like you can handle quite a bit once you meet me. I guess this is the first time we've met and that's why we got this result.

... I can't hide the subtle air even with the smile of the Demon King. Well, maybe you can still admit to losing because you're a demon conductor opponent. Handling is an inevitable disaster.

"Then the companion..."

"Take me with you!

A voice to King Kivera, who looked around. The person whose gaze is focused...... Ah, the Knights Commander (tentative) just now?

In a situation where he is unable to move, he desperately appeals to the King with his gaze. The king nodded slightly as he glanced.

"Fine. The entourage is headed by the Knights. However, we cannot overlook this situation. Deal with the surrogate and lead the field."

"Ha!"

"Okay, for now, you're going to lift the icing. Will you be cured?"

"Are you sure?

"Yeah, you can kill anytime you want."

My words that follow upon the voice of a king who seems unexpected. Everyone stops moving temporarily and looks at me with awesome eyes.

I didn't lie. Easy win to this extent. I think it's possible to just intentionally lose oxygen in the first place, even though it looks like suffocation but the cause of death is unknown.

"Mizuki, don't say anything unnecessary!

The sighed Chancellor peppered! and slap his head.

Isn't that nice! He said if we just threatened him like this, he wouldn't act strange!

…… Just go if you want me to apologize. It'll annoy Kivera, too. "

The surroundings moved in anyway of the word of the guardian demon king. However, I feel like I have some kind of mixed fright in my eyes when I look at the two guardians of the Kibera Momentum.

That's how I, the Chancellor and King Kivera, and the Knights Commander, headed to Zebrest. The Knight of the Guard temporarily returns to Corbella with his brother Cecil and the Demon King. You can't let us follow you, because the apology is only between Zebrast and Kivera.

Me and Klaus would have felt one thing at this time.

Goodbye, Necromancer Town! Damn, I wanted to mix it up......!

Try to turn your unconcerned, slightly envious gaze toward town.... Sounds fun, it's so exciting and fun. It will fit in a while longer in time though.

I guess Klaus will regret not being able to participate because he is doing something similar.

I feel like a calf to be donned. If things weren't the case, I'd say, 'Oh, no! He's here more!' And to pinch waste like a child. I don't imitate being carried by adults......!

"Magic Master, the town..."

"It will disappear in a while. Really, unfortunately for the book!

"Oh well.... Negotiations are done, can you keep your anger down?

"I have a lot to think about. Never mind."

"Ugh, um"

I don't know how you took my word for it, but Mr. Knights Commander was pulling something off.

Never mind. You're not sparing the castle, are you?

And so! Here we are, Zebrast. I hear the Chancellor gave me a message, and during the sight, the nobles and Kingsguard knights, who were the Lord rather than Rudolph, stood by.

Luca was in the corner, by the way. The Lord of the Prison, who plunged the nobility to the bottom of his fear, is now named for the last seat of the Kingsguard. Because he was given the Baron position by merit, but you think he's just a name because he'd be satisfied if he could be a knight? The Lord of the Prisons.

Well, King Kivera? Can you do a proper 'sorry'? I missed it on the condition that I apologize sincerely, and it doesn't make sense that it's just a verbal apology?

"... I hear more from the Chancellor. We're busy together. Let's get this over with."

Rudolph is in Solemn King mode, so there are no shards of the usual friendly atmosphere. King Kivela reacted perfectly to what seemed troublesome somewhere but obvious from above.

No, he said he was a young builder... would Pride get in the way?

I can also say that it was easy to apologize because it was a disaster from anyone named Magic Supervisor. But Rudolph stands for the same king. And a smaller country than Kivera.

Apologizing in public while being watched over by the people who have been looking down would be quite a pain.

King Kivela glances at Rudolph when he exhales one and bows his head.

"If you're listening, it's quick.... Let's apologize for everything. Sorry...... Huh!?

"Yes, start over -"

Ringing his fingers properly, he drops water on King Kivela's head. Except for Rudolph, who seems a little, but I look at King Kivera in a boring way.

"Kneel."

"Ku......"

"You want to get your leg slapped and broken? When should I crawl?

A mild tone, but King Kivera kneels down to see that the threat is not just words.

... Knights chief distorting his expression all the time saying "hard work" in the back? If you think it's hard for you, the path that Rudolph has followed is hell or something. You can't complain about the killer being beheaded, can you?

You noticed the cold gaze. The Knights captain turns his gaze to me. I found a clear scorn there and made my expression strong.

"... Hey, Captain? What kind of eyes has Quivera seen the king's plea to defend his country with a knight whose chest hurts?

……

"What are you going to do with your personal feelings in this situation? No reflection."

Saying so, the captain silently lays his eyes down. I suppose those gathered here have also come to think that they are the victims of Kivela. As a knight, it may be an occasion to embarrass a helpless self, but it's more than being the culprit. It's selfish.

"It's the same with you," he said implicitly, realizing that he was being evaluated again. After that, his gaze remained directed at the king, but he stopped moving his expression.

"Let's apologize for what happened. Please forgive me."

Rudolph had the same boring look on King Kivela kneeling down.

I'm not interested in King Kivera's apology, which can be described as the culprit of his own hardship, just to say.

"... would that be an apology for 'what'?

"What?"

Rudolph asks King Kivera, who looks up and looks surprised.

"You have stripped my country of much ambition.... So? What the hell does it mean to apologize to that extent?

Rudolph's words are terribly heavy for not being emotional. Rudolph "knows" the fact that he has suffered so much, and Rudolph has the stunt "I will never forget what I saw and heard".

Halfway deception would never work. Because he's also the primary victim.

"... save the details, but the invasion ten years ago and the creation of a traitor inside."

"Right, that would be two of them, to say the least. So much for my assassination."

"... Huh!

"Did you think I didn't know? It's a lot to taste."

Rudolph, who laughs low, can't even see the innocent, nostalgic side and other shards he shows in his body.

The Chancellor said he couldn't have come without separating his position as an individual from a king. Rudolph wears the king's mask perfectly even in front of the culprit who did so.

At this point King Kivera should judge, because even children grow up. Rudolph, who suppressed Kivela's measures and survived, now showed enough growth for a young man, an experienced child, to have on his side a prince called the Demon King.

In addition, there is no way that a king with a Wizard on his side is an ordinary man.

Even more so if I have become a threat to Kivera.

... Well, I don't know if that's a general interpretation and it applies to me.

"Could it be too much to know? Or do you think it's very unforgivable?

"It would be both of them. The more honest you are, the less likely I am to forgive you."

I nod so much that it is Rudolph's word. Well, don't even get attitude.

I guess King Kivela still insulted Rudolph. The prime minister was the target of vigilance within Zebrast, and Rudolph's correct assessment could not have been conveyed.

That's why I answered my apology. Because I thought I could delude you.

Hey, that's a tremendously stupid response! You can be angry, Rudolph.

If you noticed there, you wouldn't see an apology favorably, either. There is plenty of choice not to allow it.

"Well, won't you forgive me? Rudolph's forgiveness is important."

"You can't do that... as long as you're targeting Kivera"

"Yeah, I'm currently admiring it! I haven't broken the castle yet."

"It's a real disaster! 'Rudolph just raised a slight eyebrow to me when I made it clear. You know how angry you are with Kivela when you bring Cecil and the others here, he didn't think you'd do anything.

King Kivela looks pale yet silent. Rudolph, not just me, must not be able to come up with an immediate response just because he was another being to overturn his expectations.

…… Well, then, in the direction of forgiveness, can I do something to the extent that I'm not dying?

"What?"

"You're not willing to forgive me with a verbal apology, are you? There's no way Zebrast is going to put his hands down."

"Well, if you're not going to let me die, it's one hand to leave it to you."

Rudolph leans his neck but agrees with my suggestion. Or Rudolph is right that he can't come up with a good deal either.

Kivera will continue to do so, and if Zebrast raises his hand here, he could be told, 'What is it like to be a habit of not acting on anything?' This time, Zebrast is irrelevant. It echoes Rudolph's own assessment when he says something to you about the magician.

It was the Chancellor - in fact, me - who made the suggestion that I should do it with an apology, but I can also say that I will forgive him as easily as I know the attitude and thoughts of King Kivera afterwards.

Yeah, you guys are parents and kids after all. Was sincere "sorry" impossible?

I suspect honesty at the point of apologizing because it's a national crisis, but I tried to delude you even more. If I forgive you now, there will be no indication for both those who have sacrificed and those who have done their best.

Then is it best for me, the outsider, to do some retaliation on this occasion and convince you?

"Then stand up, eat your teeth and tie them up. Oh, you should ask the Knights Commander to support you."

"... what are you going to do?

"I'll hit you once."

If you answer honestly, you'll all look surprised, my lord. He doesn't think I'm just gonna hit him.

Well, that prediction is a big win.

Even I have to act to convince the Zebrast side that I should normally just have to hit him once.

I take out the dagger that Luca gave me, as many Zebrest people look surprised, not just my lord. Rudolph gazed at it.

... No, I'm not going to stab you!? Because you can't handle weapons!

"Rudolph, do you remember this?

"It would be the shape of the father Luca gave you. It's a dagger with a royal crest handed out to the volunteers during the invasion ten years ago."

"Yes, that's why I'm gonna use this"

That said, when I pull it out of the sheath, I use only the part of the blade to create a few 'other things'. Looking lightly at the sight, Rudolph looked surprised to see what he could do.

... Yeah, I guess so. I didn't say I would use it as a dagger.

…… Mizuki, it looks like a ring to me. "

"Yeah, the ring. In detail, the royal crest has emerged, quite gothic and wide-ranging."

The part of the blade is not that big. But enough to make four rings that look sturdy.

Especially when it comes to rings, the image is about "wide range," "royal crest emerges," and "gotsui," so the decorative value is not equal. A short cylinder with a royal crest rather than a ring when I say blah blah.

Pass the remaining pattern and sheath to Luca. "The shape is what I have," I pressed Luca, who receives in confusion, and I fitted the ring (tentatively) from the index finger to the pinky finger of my right hand.

People call it Merikensack (tentative). I don't know if it's in this world.

Leaving people twisting their necks without making sense yet, I turned to King Kivela.

Smile and instantly erase the grin.

"Eat your teeth and tie them up!

Striking him with his voice, the royal crest, which emerged, chooses King Kivela's cheek and stains it with blood.

A sign that the dull sound heard slightly and the pain running on his hands added to the attack. Now Zebrast is convinced. Bloodstained faces are obvious to everyone's eyes.

In fact, it would be closer to making a decision than beating him. Because that's not all I'm here for.

I don't have that much power to say I hit you on it. King Kivela, supported by the Knights Commander, did not roll unnecessarily.

"Ku, uh..."

"Oh, get your hands off me. 'Cause I'm gonna fix it."

"Hey..."

King Kivela was moaning at the pain but unconsciously suppressing his bloodstained cheeks. Immediately after that, he hears the word 'cure' from the culprit and strengthens his body.

... Well, I guess it's more impossible to think of it as a decent treatment. But don't worry. It's usually a cure. Apply healing to King Kivela without waiting for a reply.

…… You're out of pain, and you got scars?

"Blood also seems to be stopping...... ancient wounds, like"

King Kivera, who touched the wound, and the Knights captain, who was watching the condition of the wound, touch the wound strangely.

There are definitely wounds there that can be determined. This is what happens over time in the original world. However, in this world where healing magic is the norm, I am not familiar with a cure that leaves scars.

Regardless of the civilian population, the royal nobility deserves healing by healing magic. So there are many who may be knights but have no ancient wounds. I was taught not to judge the experience by its appearance.

"Yes. It's not the healing magic of this world that I use, it's adjustable. That scar will leave... yeah, I tried to leave it, so keep it on for life"

"Why are you imitating that?

"Because I want you to remember what you've done to Zebrast.... with the fear I felt for Rudolph on this occasion"

King Kivera lets his slightly lower voice jump his shoulder tingly, and Rudolph leaks a small "ho..." exclamation.

It will be a hard day inside not being able to forget the memory of humiliation. Besides, from now on, a lot of things will happen that will determine that old wound.

"The 'honor' that once hunted down Zebrast became the 'country's stain'. How many actions are going to overshadow that assessment?

"... Oh, you mean that!

Rudolph raised his voice to my words and laughed as satisfied.... Yes, 'I laughed'. Understand the meaning of the words of the Wizard.

"What do you mean...?

I don't even know what it means to leave a scar. The Knights chief asks. We look at it and we laugh at each other.

"That means Mizuki's revenge."

Revenge, scarring?

"Scars are an easy analogy. Mizuki just told you, didn't she?" Honor has become a foul spot in the country, "he said. At the time you came here to apologize, wasn't Kivera no longer a powerful country? The past remains the same, is there any possibility that there will be future retaliation? Will the people accept a different life? Where does that grievance go?... I wonder what kind of appreciation the royal family would get from 'their own people'?

What Rudolph is saying is right and wrong in some ways. Because instead of retaliation, Kivela just lost her overwhelming position.

But the people of Kivela do not. How many of them reflect on themselves and honestly accept a different life than before?

The perception of outsiders as queens would be strong if they had not participated in the battle. If that happens, the unconscious spearhead of that criticism goes to the royal family and the upper management.

... Beautifully forget that we have honored the richness caused by acts of aggression until then.

"Mizuki's revenge is not temporary.... Didn't I?

"Yeah, right. I'm the only one who can" reverse the appreciation of past events, "right?

With his hands still wet in blood, he affirms the words of Rudolph laughing when he dulls. Scars are a clip that encourages self-reflection, or they act like admonitions to the past. If it were on the king's face, he would admonish nature and himself around him as well.

"I wonder how guilty the people of Kivera are to know that this is an explosive. Though you and Prince Wang will undoubtedly be named for history as' a royal family that has discredited and decaded the great power of Quivera '."

"That's a grand punishment in there, that's"

"I can blame those who have protected me... as a king, I can't do it. Hey, is it like being denied your life?

King Kivela, if you think you've done something more than 'there's no way you can be forgiven'.

There's no way my vengeance would be light enough to convince them, right?

Keep the half-hearted Lord Kivela at bay. I will go beside Rudolph as I pull out the ring.

And I offered him a bloody ring as well with my bloody hands.

"This ring was created from the dagger of Zebrast. It is the figure of Luca's father, who died defending his country, and the pride of those who became volunteers"

"Oh, I know. I'm sorry I gave the volunteers to fight them, the people they were supposed to protect."

I see. Did the people admire 'If Rudolph' in such a context? Rudolph is liked by the people for putting out volunteers and stuff, even though he's usually resented for taking away his family.

"You can't do anything more than the war is over. No matter how unconvinced."

"Naturally. We can't risk the living."

But I don't have a fence.

Rudolph gazed the same way when he pointed his gaze at the ring of his palms.

There is no emotion floating there. However, there is strength in Rudolph's palm placed on his elbow.

The more you grip in, the more you hurt your palms with your nails, the stronger Rudolph's emotions are.

It is against Kivela, against his own incompetence, which was helpless, and his sorrow towards the people of Zebrest.

"Take it. Flowers mourning death may only be offered by the people of this country. I dedicate this to the dead. Thank you to all those who have made the future that you are here today. … this is the only thing I can dedicate to them"

Blocking the Chancellor from trying to take the cloth out of his nostrils, Rudolph received the ring with his own hands. The hand also touches the ring and stains the blood.

"... you, you're hurt yourself"

"If you put that on and hit him. But I don't think there's any revenge for not hurting. It's nothing trivial compared to Zebrast or Kivera."

Even so, he smiles bitterly at Rudolph for a slightly spicy look, creating healing and water for cleansing. Show me your original hand and say, "You see?" The expression softened slightly.

And seeing King Kivela again, Rudolph declares clearly.

"King Kivera. My country will glorify Mizuki with this. All I want is for you to remain king.... take responsibility.... I will not allow you to escape."

That word, which should have been forgiven but also sounded guilty.

But I suppose you understand with King Kivera. Above all, his wishes were fulfilled.

It's just... they just noticed the part I didn't realize. It's just the difference between knowing now or becoming aware later.

The Lord looked at each other, and slowly he knelt down again, accompanied by the knights who had brought him in, after which he took a look. There is no majesty of the mighty there. There is only relief from being able to protect the country.

"Then I'll go home, too. I still have the end of this one."

"Oh, I asked the Chancellor. The treatment of the Avengers who helped you, the conditions of Ilfena."

"Sort of. I don't think Ilfena will be involved in producing this report."

Rudolph laughs small when he squeals that it's a hassle.... Yeah, if you can do a face like this, you'll be fine. This apology would have been too abrupt for Rudolph to sort out his feelings or anything, and you need to take a rest.

"Bye."

"Dear Mizuki!

I can hear from Luca in tears as she tries to follow me between glances with a flickering wave. Rare...... even though courtesy is perfect for the reason that 'it will be a disgrace to the Lord'.

He was giving permission to snort when he turned his gaze to Rudolph. Speaking of which, why was Luca here?

"Thank you......! I would like to thank you as one of the families of all the volunteers who died ten years ago! It would be a lie to say you didn't resent Kivela, but our decision to protect our country was not wrong!

Well, in a way, was Luca called here as the victim's representative? That the people naturally hate Kivela, and perhaps some will resent the royal family that made them do so.

That is the position of 'family of volunteers'. I very much don't think it was easy to live in a family that lost its worker.

"... yes. I chose to defend my country over my family. Proud of you, Father?

"Yes! My father and I were nosy enough to protect Rudolph even more than Mizuki admitted!

"My proud son will be recognized as a knight by Rudolph. Don't you?

"Naturally. These two names are" Bloody Princess's Keeper Dog, "right? In addition to the fact that the standard is you and the red hero, you are ordered to be my shield immediately..."

Strange information was added from Rudolph to include a slight tease.... What's that noisy nickname? No, I don't mind because he seems happy in person. Looks like you're living well. Above all, Luca.

Even if you point your frightened gaze at Rudolph, it just returns an interesting look. When I look at it and flaunt my shoulders, I walk out with my back turned.

Rudolph's voice runs after him on that back.

"Mizuki.... thanks"

Without turning around to it, I wave gently again to show what I heard. The word 'thank you', not 'thank you', comes from an individual named 'Rudolph', not 'King Zebrast'.

Only part of Rudolph who knows where this place is and where he stands more than that should realize the value of the word he dares say.

And now it's time for me to look behind.
