The Magician Wants Normality

Shakin, the sound of shakin and clarity echoes in the blue sky. A blade that shines sparklingly in the sunlight feels good.

This is a very out of place horror situation, contrary to the seemingly peaceful town and the brightness of the surroundings. If it drops, they'll add a splatter.

Overlapping there is the crying plea of the bastards.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? Hey, whoa!

"Why are you making me hear shaky noises all the time, up there? Ooh!

……

"Say something!

Shakin!

"That's enough! Replies are in people's language!

Ever since I kicked them out of the window, I've had a huge squeeze in my hand. It sounds angry and makes the men cry.

'Cause you're sure you can't reach the mastermind...!

It would have been possible if there was a brain-labouring man here or a woman who was looking after the ladies, but thank God there's no sign of that. It seems very unfortunate that he was away.

If you're here, you'll come and see how it goes. These two are making a scene, and if you notice the scene outside, you can tell that 'something happened' even if you're in the house.

Running away is not a good idea to leave the ladies on the lookout. Well, I can't leave the ladies' side either, so it's just imaginary.

You can't use your hands to hold the men indoors and wait for them to return, because the safety of the ladies is more than a top priority. Safety comes first, or it's dangerous if the knights don't storm us early.

... because if the two examples or the rest of the killers decide they can't get into the room or beat me, they can also think of setting fire to the house.

Then I suspect the ladies will escape safely. He's noble. It's a different world in the first place. There's no way I'm training for disaster prevention.

"Get people's attention at home and bring in knights" - this didn't just mean that the rescue of the ladies was a knight's handle, it also meant that people's attention would not be drawn to such actions.

Besides the kidnappers, there are merchants who own this house who wish to destroy the evidence. It's no surprise they're after those hands without joking... "Burning All Evidence by Fire".

Plus their physical and mental problems. For one thing, let's give up our enthusiasm for the mastermind.

However, even if I knew I had no choice, my emotions couldn't be helped.

I screamed and annoyed the noise of the dandruff over the heads of the people who hung themselves in vain. Experience some of the horrors the ladies felt.

... Harassment of the Eight?

It's my fault, because they have to be summoned to grandeur!

For about two people, time for fear has passed.

"Whoa! Open up here! What the hell are you doing!

A man's voice sounded, and Christina opened the door and the knights - quite a few of them seemed to be around - jumped into the room.

They decided his life was in danger by a report, and stormed him fast. Well, the passers-by who saw the two of them hanging from the sky won't be in a hurry.

Besides, the knights who were patrolling the town have been told about this kidnapping, so the reaction to the crime is good.

In such a tingly air, each passers-by reported to the nearby knight.

That is, multiple reports and witnesses alike.

Such disturbances would be quickly spread by people's rumors.

Sometimes it was men who were suspended, and the knights forcibly broke through in a group, assuming they were involved in some sort of incident. As far as the situation and people's interest is concerned, it's not surprising at all.

"An anomaly has occurred! Two men are hanging!

"Possible multiple offenders! Ask for backup! '

I guess it was prebuilt like this.

Yeah, I think the idea is correct or general. I don't think hanging two men is a lone offender.

Considering that the men will resist, the target is expected to be multiple offenders, or considerable strength if they were alone.

But actually almost alone.

I was the one who used the item to point it out the window.

The odd situation was well accepted because it stormed the room. Some of the knights were in sync with the knights.

They know me when I take a prototype named Plug-in, so they find out what I really am.

So I didn't leave it empty and said, "Well done on coming! I am under the command of His Highness Elshon ~".

They tell us about the kidnapping. Even if I didn't know more about the operation, I guess I even figured out what I was doing. They nodded face-to-face and rode my talking settings.

Mmm, thanks! I'm excited about the next plug!

"So you think Miss Christina caught you?

"Yeah. I guess it was awkward even in the sense that you were being seen in the face. They didn't seem to notice, but I am under the command of His Highness Elshon... in these circumstances, it is only natural that we should move to protect you."

Briefly explain the situation to the knight who asks also as' Serene, the adopted daughter of the Knights under His Highness the Demon King '.

I'm not a magician, ladies. As you will remember well there!

"I got caught by Christina! I heard about the kidnapping, and I found the captured warrant! It is only natural to move as a subordinate of His Highness the Demon King! But I don't have the authority to arrest him, so I've marked the killer in custody. '

... like this.

I don't know how far this operation has been explained to the ordinary knights, and it would be reasonable if the ladies were still nearby.

Pretty convenient to say I fainted, but it seems that the synchronization of the knights was the one who explained the situation.

After seeing me with a stunned look, they guessed the situation from the name 'His Highness the Demon King's Subordination'. They seem to move to protect the ladies for now.

"Speaking of which, I heard from them, 'There's a woman in your care'. Weren't you here?

I'm going to ask you once and for all, even though I don't think it's worth it. You can't hear anything, you didn't escape a knight's assault.

- But.

The knights looked at each other for some reason... and whined small in my ear, not wanting the other ladies to hear.

"The person who seems to be the woman was here.... he was dead."

"Nah!?

Even if you raise your voice unwittingly, you immediately swallow more words and encourage ahead with your gaze.

"By the time we got here, we were down in the dining room on the first floor. That situation must be poisonous."

…… I crushed the demon stones to make them lose their effect, but the ladies had magic tools, didn't they? Detoxification is easier to get than debilitating, isn't it?

Unexpectedly it's me in my usual tone, but the knight who gave me the information makes me look surprised the other way around.

"Is that true!?

"Yeah, seriously. It's possible that he poisoned him by deciding he couldn't escape..."

Tell you what, it's a little weird for you, isn't it? It would also be possible not to let the guy who ordered you to get there by getting caught... but isn't it a little too soon to die?

'When we got here, we were down in the dining room on the first floor', the knights said. Even the poison of immediacy would suffer for a little while, but by the time you found it, you said it was dead?

It's like... you've been dead long before the commotion happened.

If we were to understand our own failures, it would be right after the knight came aboard. If you notice before then, you just have to let it go and run.

We've got two men in separate custody. It seemed like another person came to this room feeling strange, and then there should have been plenty of room for action.

I have never seen her in the first place. Even after they brought him here, the men seemed to be on the same third floor together on the lookout, and they didn't look like they broke up with the woman.

You can't be surprised or know the correct answer. That seems to have been the same for the knights, who gently slapped me on the shoulder to forgive me when I sighed lightly.

"Anyway, now head to the castle. The captains have been contacted that they're moving."

"Oh, you're on your way to capture the rest of us."

It would actually be Miss Mabel's capture, but I don't know how it's communicated, so put it in a way that's easy.

But it seems things were moving before I knew it.

Did they tell you when they put in the report of the discovery of the warrant, this knight seems to know 'who the subject of capture refers to'? I've told him to 'shut up' with a nod and a gaze at the same time.

At the end of the line of sight, ladies... well, do you have any trouble shocking the ladies who know what's behind the kidnapping?

Under the same circumstances as this one, they were betrayed by a friend. You don't even make me realize that in a mentally tired situation, do you?

"Well, until you get to the castle, stay in 'His Royal Highness Elshon's Subordination Involved by Coincidence'"

Copy that.

As long as we know where the kidnapped courtiers are imprisoned, we can deal with the rest of the knights and me adequately. I guess Mr. Dirk and the others went to catch Miss Mabel before she realized the noise and didn't escape.

I'm afraid we're not going to catch this one either. Of the two apparently connected to the mastermind, the remaining brainworkers would have also died or fled.

I want you to live if possible, but thank you. The mastermind seems to be someone who wants to erase the evidence thoroughly.... I guess it's hopeless, that's right.

With that in mind, the feeling of discontinuity and a subtle sense of defeat in your chest.

I left the room with the ladies.

Just one last thing.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you?

"" Hih!

I removed the scabbard right on the side of the men who were pulled up.

Dossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! I can see my perception of me from the look on the faces of men more distorted by fear.

... Looks like you've been certified as a Vicious Person. This would also help the threat.

"You should honestly be protected by a knight, right? Unless you want to be personally retaliated against."

That's the kind of creature you kidnapped. If you don't want retaliation, why don't you just wash up and talk?

Did the unspoken part pass on to the two of you correctly, and the men shake their heads vertically with momentum, perhaps.

"Here, don't blackmail me!... I can tell His Highness."

"I'm sorry, with all due respect."

One of the knights pulled his face apart groaned pompously, and I instantly bowed my head. Parents, or parent cat handling, seem to be subtly showing the spread, Demon King.

- In a room in the castle (Dirk perspective)

"... sorry to disturb you all of a sudden"

I said that and stared with a secluded cold eye so that the woman bowing her head wouldn't find out.

Her words and expression do look apologetic. But the opposite emotion must occupy inside that chest.

... because, as I thought, I could offer the kidnapper an intrusive existence.

"Apologize is fine. Miss Mabel, weren't you inviting Serene and the others today?

Asked surprisingly, she 'made' her expression up.

Yes, she should have planned today's tea party. It's the inviting side, letting the guests go and visiting the others.

Pointing that out, she opened her mouth while playing desperately.

"I didn't do that! Christina has just recovered, and we can't invite her in that state."

"... Huh?

You're right. Or it would be a general concern.

But as for herself knowing how she got the information about Serene from Miss Christina... all I could think about was a shudder.

Besides, she seems to be trying to use that 'general care' for her own cleanliness. You won't have a choice if you want to stick around and sigh.

"So what does it mean? I do hear your invitation to the Tea Party came from you."

Miss Mabel clouded her expression if she presented the 'facts' that this one knew.

"Actually... there were some servants who behaved unnaturally. Looks like the man pretended to be me and sent me a letter. He can get us an envelope, and today he said," Stay away from the guests. ""

"You think I don't notice visitors while I'm at the mansion?

"Our separation is a slightly special situation. I can get in through the back door, and it's almost isolated... so everything was made by our lord a few generations ago to surround the concubine or something."

…… I see, then you might be left face-to-face. "

That is.

Does this young lady want to say, 'It was the servant who took the liberty of using the things of the house' and that 'it was the servant who lured her away or who was through with the kidnapper'?

Indeed, in Mizki's hypothesis, the cooperation of servants is essential with regard to carriage raids. Perhaps even trying to push sin based on that.

No, if you do poorly, you might have already been killed. My husband found out about the evil and harmed himself... what a scenario.

Never thought I would think so, and Miss Mabel is just desperately complaining to me to believe me.

"I understand that I or my home will be suspected! But with me, the nobility of Ilfena... well, Serene and Christina are in danger. You can't keep quiet."

"In a splendid way"

Because I've barely dealt with him before, he won't be suspicious if I tell him in a chilled tone. You thought I was praised, but the expression seeped a little joy.

But I clenched my fist while trying not to look like her.

Irfena nobility? With which mouth do you say that?

Besides, coming here now means' I know I will never see you again 'to Serene and Miss Christina.

You two know she was involved in the kidnapping, and I'm guessing she even requested the murder.

It would have meant giving me information after it was accomplished... but then I suspect myself.

I tried to prove my innocence by hitting the lead, I guess. It's still a major kidnapping without a clue, so be sure to eat up on the information she brings.

No matter how many servants say they did it, it's true that the house was kidnapped. No wonder I'm thinking of thanking you or wishing you in return for information.

Oh, really.

I made fun of the country everywhere, stupid daughter.

As soon as Mizuki confirmed his arrival at the kidnappers' home, the knights were supposed to head to the accomplices' house.

I don't know what to say, but we could have gotten away with capturing the kidnappers. So you and Mizuki and the knights patrolling the town, and we were going to take charge of capturing the accomplices.

... Mizuki says, 'I'll take a stand out way and have the knight storm you!' And that seemed fun to say. If that kid says so, I'm sure it will. From what I've said and done so far, I'm oddly sure.

That's when Miss Mabel came to visit me. 'Cause I want to tell you something'.

I don't give a shit about this. This is an excellent opportunity for the accomplice to make a confession.

So I'm dealing with her and the others are on their way to her house as planned.

The Kingsguard was sent all the way to make sure there was no escape.

Or a testament that 'it is His Majesty's will'.

It also works in the sense that it's no longer just a kidnapping. Apparently, you're taking things lightly?

... Oh, my father seemed pretty smart too. Turn your earlier grief - that Mizki didn't call you my father - into hatred, and you'll hit the case closed.

Well, is it time?

"Thank you for your confession, Miss Mabel"

"Huh?"

I think it's the first and last time, and I'll grin at you. Without waiting for Miss Mabel to say something that didn't make sense and tilt her neck, I spoke the truth.

"Serene is wearing the magic props of communication. We've heard all about you."

Miss Mabel's eyes open wide to abrupt exposure.

"Yeah, well, I'll tell you another thing. Serene is also under His Highness Elshon's command... he understands what it means to be under His Highness's command." It's impossible not to do anything before a kidnapped maid. "

Because I'm not allowed to be more incompetent than to name His Highness's subordination.

You twitched to understand the meaning of my words, and the blood draws from Miss Mabel's face.

But it's too late. It makes no difference that at the time I got my hands on Serene, I had His Highness Elshon in custody.

"Oh, now it's no use denying your intent to kill the Serenes, is it? You've come to visit me... while the two of you know I'm an accomplice to the kidnapper. Unless you're sure you'll never see those two again, right?

"Wah... me, ha..."

Miss Mabel is trembling so much that she can't move her moving mouth so well. He understands that if they'd listened to that conversation, there would be no way out.

Then at the end of the day, I'll tell you the worst.

"By the way, there's a Kingsguard on his way to your house in the wrong place with you. If the servant were dead, the murder would be punishable."

"Damn... I can't believe I kidnapped you..."

"Even if you're not kidnapping, you're an accomplice, and you're keeping an eye on His Highness Elshon's men? Oh, does that include the murder of a servant? You've been trying to imitate us for a long time."

My emotions unwittingly dwell in my voice, and the grin that was superficially floating disappears. Noticing that there was no emotion there, Miss Mabel shook her body more and more.

"I disparaged the country, made fun of us, and tried to kill Serene and the others.... don't make me laugh, I'm not going to be a scumbag like you"

What I admire more than my parents are 'knights serving their country'. I aspired to a knight who would have tremendous trust from the Lord and his venerable presence, and I aspired to my present position.

How does Miss Mabel look to me like that?

"Don't you name the nobility of this country."

"D... Dirk, Dear..."

"Shut up."

Tell it all without any emotions and reject any further excuses. What was of interest was testimony about the case, otherwise useless.

No matter how blue or crying you are... because you are so 'I don't care' that you don't even get hatred.
