The Magician Wants Normality

A gaze and whispered voice directed at intrigue.

I don't know if our position is "The Mage and his Guardian" or "The Guardian of His Majesty the Demon King," and they're all voicing around us.

Well, I guess so. If we were at work, it would make a bad impression on us.

Especially if I was a rumored magician. Life is at stake if you piss me off. Most people who have never dealt directly with each other will act with caution if they believe in rumors.

"Well, I'd like to ask you about your reputation before those people are around."

Al looks around without breaking his grin. It seems the Felix and the others are still not here.

"Yeah, but do you think it's easy for people in other countries to tell the truth?

"That's possible. But I was wondering if there would be many enemies if we had repeated what we did earlier."

"That's, hey..."

What I recall is the sending of a samurai and a courtier. The number of enemies swells at once if the courtier is of a social character and the birth of a house of considerable stature.

It's not just friends, it's people who have connections to each other, and if you understand that, you don't take hostile action. And that means…….

"They must have a lot of enemies. They almost deserve it."

"You really don't even seem to understand what's natural about being a nobleman."

Even as we speak, our assessment of the two of us is at the bottom. Without joking, instead of "the surrounding wind is tight," I wonder if it's in the state of "selling up fights and isolating them".

"Excuse me. Lord Argent, it's been a long time."

A couple of good-looking couples called out to Al modestly. Does he know Al's parents at his age? Al also meets and greets them lightly when he sees them.

"Long time no see, Mr. and Mrs. Bail."

"Gentlemen, how are you?

"Yeah, we haven't seen each other in a while, but it hasn't changed."

... seems like someone close to you for Al's attitude. I don't feel malicious over an honest attitude that doesn't even ruin my appreciation for the younger Al. The lady also looks at them with a smile.

Two gazes accidentally turned to me when I was observing it that way.

"Mizuki, this is Count Bail and his wife. He's my father's alumni and a longtime acquaintance."

"Hehe, I studied at Ilfena when I was younger. They took good care of me."

I see, that kind of connection. As much as I've ever had a relationship, I guess I have a friendly relationship with the Duke of Bashre. Above all, there is no atmosphere at all that is pleasant or exploratory.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Mizuki. He's the magician of the other world who's been rumored for a long time."

If exposed to see the introduction and the opponent's reaction, Count Bail opened his eyes slightly… it nodded happily.

...? Why, what's that reaction?

"Oh! The Duke of Bashre has told me that Lord Argent has made a man of himself!

"Oh, that way!? Not a magician or some other world person!?

"No, no, I don't know if I'd say it either... because the Dukes of Bashre are, you know, distinctive"

Count Bayle slightly out of sight of Al while saying it. He seems like someone who can't throw up a lie, but I guess he doesn't have the courage to blow up the facts on this occasion either.

You can honestly say, 'It's a weirdo region, isn't it, Irfena', Count Bail?

In other words, the preference of the Bashre family three men can be seen from elsewhere: 'What is that ideal female portrait? Is it real, that's' the perception! That's just how long I've been dating and I seem to have understood the specificity.

... No one will be able to introduce you even if you know the type of preference you prefer, and there will be no one in charge.

"When I heard it, I thought my wives were joking. It would be difficult to have a personal preference, but in addition to that, it would be a powerful person to build trust…"

It will be too difficult, continues Count Bail. Apparently, he thought it was an excuse not to even get engaged because it was too narrow a gate.

Surely you wouldn't think of it as an ideal female portrait if that's all you're asking. Either it's loyal or user-friendly pawn recruitment.

"Isn't that the general perception?"

"Again... you didn't aim intentionally, did you?

"The former was caused by the fact that it was almost captured. The 'Nice Knight' statue collapsed in less than a day. After that, it's a by-product of the Demon King's education."

The couple snorts at me for continuing the genuine talk. Oh, it's the reaction of the average person.

After all, knowing them, I guess I find the rumor that 'the guardian is the magician's drowning' unnatural. Whatever you think, "Securing Available Competent Talent" is more convincing, and it's not a lie either.

If you say so, the current situation is closest to a friendship where position precedence is an absolute condition. The unanimity of interests between those who have trust as individuals is a nice bond.

"She has a friendly relationship with the other guardians."

Mindless as you turn your hand around my hips - are you going to make us compare to the Felix and the others around - Al, who insists on our connection.

'It's our competent pawn' appeal is indispensable even as we speak of thinkers. The Guardians can't be equals with the country's top knight and the word 'friendly' simply being 'friendly friends'.

Especially that can also be taken in the opposite sense. "If you do anything to this girl, we'll come out."

The couple who heard it nodded but looked at me with a mixed eye of admiration and pity. "I knew you were a pawn! 'Or so I thought.

... Ma'am, carelessly hold my hand with both hands. What does "good luck" mean as an encouragement?

"By the way... I'd like to ask you a few questions."

"Oh, what is it?

"I'll be frank with you. Your Highness Felix and his fiancée, what do you think of them?

Your couple's face was stretched to Al's question, which was too direct. Don't earn there. I'll chase you.

"Actually, I saw a slightly unbelievable sight before the night club. While the samurai sheltered the lady who seemed to be the lord, she ate and hung on some maid. It's an unlikely situation, and I asked him if he was in a special position," Her Highness's fiancée, Felix. "

The Earl who heard it gave a bitter expression and his wife sighed deeply. He understood it was impossible to hide it.

Eventually the Count opened his mouth in sigh.

"That must be Miss Sandra and her samurai. Are you not aware of the danger of your position at all?"

"His Highness Felix praises the samurai for her actions. We've been praising each other too many times, but we just don't have the ears to listen, and we're getting stubborn."

Apparently, there were some people who praised me. I guess they're taking that in a negative way.

Come on, you can't help but isolate this, can you? Obviously they are bad.

"His Highness Felix has been spoiled by his mother for a long time. I've just become unconscious as a royalty, and I'm starting to think things through emotions."

"... the church-run orphanage was also used to meet Miss Miyagi. Doesn't that make them feel like they're in a story, like they're in a scene where their lovers face misery?"

"I just don't see reality that much... I don't think so."

Ma'am, great, right, right! No doubt Felix doesn't see reality.

Besides, you've come to play the role of 'Wizard' on me! What a miscast......!

Their favorite reading must be, "The Prince lived happily with his sweet daughter, the gorgeous". That's a romance novel or something next. Something to reference is too far from reality.

It seems like a warm couple, I guess it's still a pretty soft and faint way of saying it. It is also 'because it is not hidden' to say something that falls under the domestic exposure of the country.

The wound is shallower if you tell it in a softer way than to mislead it poorly than it is witnessed.

Even these two are this, how much discontent and anger they are causing the hostile people.

"Rest assured, both of you. Tomorrow, the problem will go away."

Smile and tell that's all. If you are sincere with the Duke of Bashre, you know where Al stands.

This evening, His Majesty the Demon King will be here soon. Combine that information with the topics we've shown interest in and you'll easily get to the answer. Al also deepens his grin and doesn't deny my words.

And as expected, the two took a breath for a moment... eventually exhaled deeply. "After all, Your Highness did something," he murmured, "and it must have been information-gathering that spoke to us.

"It was King Baraksin himself who invited us.... The King was wise."

"Yeah, right."

"It is therefore not the State that should be held responsible. Rest assured."

The Earl laughed somewhat tired of Al's words, still somewhere relieved. And at the end of the day, I give you one piece of advice and you leave.

'Beware of Count Barrios. That's a good way to escape… you'll probably have your own way to escape this time. "

"The Count's aim is probably the Lord Mage. Your fame, your connections, and your power are worth so much '

"I think it's better than Lord Argent being beside you, but never let your guard down"

Thanks for the info, Count Bail. I mean, like the raccoon degraded version of Irfena, right? Or a second-rate villain who is plainly incapacitated even when he conceals an ambitious man?

……

Seems like they advised me that I couldn't imitate the devil because I was in a public place and came with the demon king.

Sorry, all the people who came this time are willing to kill them from the start......!

Because he's been number one on this annihilation list since I didn't even know his name!

Besides, the king permits it, so you can't be guilty of rambling if it's just the person in question.

Al also whispers that he knows what I'm thinking. "I won't stop you, so go ahead."

As I purposefully whisper in my ear to gather my surrounding gaze, I guess the attitude from earlier is to impress Felix and the others as comparators.

That's the belly black who plays "Nice Knight" from day to day, I know how to use myself very well.

Well, I got the information I wanted. After that, we just wait for the lead.

After that, there were no fierce men to talk to, and people accidentally bothered when they were exchanging words with Al and putting out their energy to observe the surroundings.

At the end of their gaze is a pair of men and women. If you're a guy...... about a high school student? My back is there, but I have a young face for it. To put it badly, I don't feel the shadow of hard work or the confidence I've gotten over it.

I don't know what to say, but all the royalty I know are people who have lived in such a tough situation. Even Cecil's reason for escape from Kivera is' it's time to run out of money, and if we die, it's bad '.

I was convinced for the sake of my country that I would be married and cold, that I would run away and starve to death in the rear palace, and that I had only chosen how my country could still survive.

Surely if Cecil had such a way of dying, Corbella would have declared an instant war and later perished. I relied on the Marquis Leckbari more for my country than for my own sake.

Felix was almost as old as Cecil.

I wonder why...... what makes this difference from the atmosphere.

"You're telling the truth about being spoiled."

"Oh, I knew you would?

"Of course. He was with us all the time."

It would mean that the Demon King once struggled, too. So that's how you've developed coping methods and strengths?

It seems Al wants to say that Felix can't feel that.

In the meantime, Felix turned his gaze and showed a bare gesture of looking for someone... and eventually walked out with his fiancée happily.

- To us.

"... what?

"This is..."

Al and I, we both solidified without putting it on our faces.

No, no, don't come over here all of a sudden. Don't come, did you say hello to the host!?

Because you're royal, you won't be able to skip greeting the king. Other than that, do we have to speak up to the leading nobles in our own country?

Besides, I have a fiancée, so I should think about the future and at least say hello. She can't be irrelevant if she wants to be a queen.

Naturally, but the surrounding gaze got tougher all at once. What do you want us to do with invitees from other countries as a top priority, we want them to join us without common sense!?

"Excuse me, if you are the magician of Ilfena?

Felix has spoken with a smile on his back about how he feels like that.

....... Al also has a position as Duke Son, so this answer would be better for me to respond.

"Yes, it is."

"So..."

"Before that. I apologize for your disrespect in blocking His Highness's words. But! Please, as a royalty, forget the minimum obligation you have. There is no exchanging words with me, a civilian, without saying hello to the king and without even having any hard work for all the nobles who have gathered."

("Just come say hello to the king, don't shikato the nobles! This one will be hostile, if you're royal, come through your muscles without freaking out about taste or bitterness!

This is what it looks like if you mean it. Felix's people are in line if we don't praise them here now. I don't like that.

But Felix's expression becomes immediately unsatisfactory when he stretches it for a moment.

"They... don't try to acknowledge Sandra. She always comes in tough words because she's a Viscount Lady."

"If I look at you now, I don't think you're being mean, but you're being praised for not being ashamed."

With that in mind, Felix and the others got a scratchy look. There is a colorful manifestation of disappointment in me.

... Easy to understand, Felix. If you expect it on your own, and you're disappointed on your own, it's like you're saying, 'I tried to use the Wizard'? Because you ignore my will.

If you're not on your side unconditionally, let even unwilling puppets serve you.

"Do you also... hold your identity?"

"I'm advising you not to expose yourself to shame in front of others, not to detain you."

"But......! Sandra is very scratchy with her heartless words!?

"What's wrong with that? What would you do if you were prepared and chose to be next to Your Highness to that extent? I've got tougher days ahead of me."

Say that much and cut the words once and make a surprise look.

"No way... you think I was engaged without any readiness? If you are Miga, love is all you need, but does anyone know that in reality, in addition to your personal standing behavior, you need connectivity, sociability, patience, hard work, etc.... it's about toddlers who confuse Miga with reality, isn't it?

I know I'm only a civilian, too, and that's about it... and then Miss Sandra leaned over with her scratched face on.

Felix has a bewildered look while comforting Sandra. I guess you no longer thought such words would come out of me, who is a different world and a civilian.

Well, you two.

I'm not the Wizard of Good Will you think I am.

If you say, 'Stand around for the purpose, speak with your mouth and exercise your strength if you cannot understand. I do not accept objections, but a self-centered actionist magician named Good Disaster Handling'.

The words to Felix are also 'actions to prevent us from feeling alike right now', so they are nothing but self-explanatory statements.

Because it won't hurt or itch for me where it will be in the future.

If you're going to use it, let's also look at the potential to piss you off.

I... am a demon guide who has little pity for you to be truncated.
