The Magician Wants Normality
Collection of Small Stories 21
One of the novels, "The Knight and Me"
"Nevertheless, the Master of Magic is kind."
"Huh?"
"Your own fiancée...... oh, I know you mean guardian. But it's not all that friendly, is it?
"Oh... well, I know you mean surveillance personnel. Maybe we're good friends."
Even as I nod at the words of the knight, I rebel against the past.
Yeah, I do get along with the guardians.
They treat each other like pawns.
I just don't have a personal preference.
Friendly, not wrong in the sense. You would be right to call it favorable.
I think this knight's attitude has something to do with that, especially since he came to Sarovara. Though to stir it up, you were snuggling around with Al.
While convinced by my words, the knight continued the conversation.
"If you look at the two of you, I don't think that's the relationship between the surveillance personnel and the surveillance targets. Do you feel like your fiancée or close friend? Knowing what it looks like..."
So the knight finally clouds his expression.
"What a selfish way to look at Master Lillian and that samurai attitude. That's what I feel, so I'm sorry for your unwarranted one-sided hostility."
……
Pathetic, the look on the face of the knight whining slightly distorted. I guess that was also a word for myself given the task of escorting.
Indeed.
The samurai's words are very unsolicited. In the first place, it was King Sarovara, the supreme power, who called this country.
When did your king call you?
If you have a complaint, go that way!
And yelling is easy, but this one is also visited with thoughts.
Even this knight wondered... 'Um, before it was possible to do that, ask me why I was so prepared...'.
Don't ask. I know it's so suspicious, but don't ask.
Normally I think about scum demon stones that are scattered, floating aggressively even when they fall, and my actions are all kinds of weird.
I want to go in there are mountains, but I guess I can't ask because the non that happened is on Sarovara's side.
Let's say this, including that...... 'Samurai, good job!'.
Maybe it's strange to appreciate it, but things wouldn't have progressed if the samurai hadn't set it in the trap. If you think about it, you should be thankful.
And hey...... Actually, I'm not mad about Lillian either.
This is a little...... correction, I guess ~ because I myself suspect that Rhilfena has a cause as well.
Al is a lovely knight who is said to be an 'ideal knight' or something. The reason for this would be his appearance, his character and, above all, his attitude.
I'm definitely doing that intentionally. He's belly black.
Besides, there are words and actions that 'deliberately' favor you for the purpose of gathering information.
Clear, clear, scumbag. It's the enemy of a woman, Argento.
If I knew this, I could predict why Irfena couldn't turn down King Sarovara's favor. "Cause, isn't it in Ilfena? 'I thought so.
For the sake of the country, it would be more of an act as a subordination of the Demon King than that, but that would be nothing more than a reason on the part of those who are profitable.
Most importantly, he doesn't consider it a bad/awful thing!
This seems to have some ancestral implications, but it was Al himself who made it clear that he had a nice personality to say out of the blue, 'I don't care except for those who are dear to me'. We declare ourselves.
Such a guy looks like a 'nice knight'.... There's a woman I see. I mean, don't you mean, 'Al made it look that way to gather information'? Think so.
Therefore, Lillian, a maiden in love, has nothing to do with it. One way or another, it's the victim.
Well, it's true that her behavior is problematic between the glances. It would be awkward from the standpoint of royalty.
But!
Suppose the 'love (tentative)', which should also be the cause, was set up......
Ilfena figured it out quickly when she was approached for advice. You shouldn't have noticed, all the top people in that country.
Didn't King Ilfena delude you into saying, 'It's tough' on behalf of you, while everyone was having awkward feelings?
This is what Noeko the Knight Dormitory would have thought, including me, especially with Al, a close demon king.
Sorry. My Al is bad, I'm sorry.
I'm not wrong in feelings. If there hasn't been a kidnapping, tell Al, 'At least pick someone!' There may have been a sermon. You must have cramped your face with the Demon King.
Al's world is as narrow as mine. So no matter what happens to those who don't belong there, you don't mind.
Now that I know Lillian is a maiden I'm really in love with, I think... 'How about stabbing a toddler at a princess who is even light-hearted!?'.
Whoever hears it, Lillian is the victim. But Al has plenty of outer roads to end with 'I don't care what happens to the Second Princess and Sarovara'!
The only thing to reflect on would be the fact that 'I bothered Irfena'. He is a terrible man.
I'm going to be treated like a waste of dogs around Sister Shall. Of course, 'Don't bother! in the sense of'. You must not blame the action itself.
Hiraki, and gaze at the knight walking in front. He seems to be very attentive, I can see the determination not to want to commit any more lapses.
I know that includes my apologies to me. But you can't fall apart with me.
Troubled knight, you have nothing to worry about.
Don't worry about it. Seriously, you don't have to worry about it!
Something behind me in many ways distracts me gently from the knight.
- Honestly, I'm sorry...!
Novel Two: The Demon Master and Me (Guardian's Knight Perspective)
I sneak my gaze behind my back and relieve myself that I have that look.
Of course, I know she's not a normal woman... but I really think 'I have to protect' her from the small look.
Such thoughts may be offensive to her, the Magic Instructor. I didn't see it clearly, but she's probably strong.... enough to cross with the guardians.
It is an unusual situation in which a person who deals in magic can fight his or her knightly opponent that far. Still, I guess I can fight more than all three strong men are attached. Instead of pulling a step against your Kivera opponent right now, you're winning.
But there is a role bestowed upon me and His Majesty. I couldn't expose Sarovara to any more shame.
Every time I think so, I feel down. It had come from its own impudence in bias.
When I was set in a trap...... I suspected Master Lillian first.
The words that the samurai had spoken, and the person who would benefit from the absence of the Master of Magic.
From that information, I thought Lillian, the princess, had ordered me without hesitation.
But...
"No, not at all"
'Cause it's unnatural. This is unlikely to be Lillian's instruction. You seem to suspect because she's neglecting me, but I think [she's impossible because she's like that]'
"Royalty hardly ever moves from itself. Use a handkerchief, this is normal. But I hate to say it, but what do you get in the mood of the second princess now? Normally, you're on your side, but you're away."
The party, His Majesty the Mage, denied it.
Instead of becoming emotional, he was calmly judging from a position he had pulled one step from everywhere.
On the contrary, as he told me, he cited 'the grounds on which he thought so' one after the other to convince me!
I'm not sheltering Master Lillian. My head naturally cooled off, too, to the many allegations of pursuing facts only everywhere.
And I noticed.
I... said I was the one who should have sheltered Master Lillian first.
Thanks to His Majesty the Wizard, he did not have to work so much disrespect that he could not escape.
What does a knight do when he doubts the royalty of his country without proof? Isn't that the disgrace of the country!?
Almost all guardians hear that they are knights. Then naturally, it will be understood how.
And I remember everything from when I set myself in a trap. That I have only been saved by His Majesty the Mage.
At that time, if His Majesty the Magic Master hadn't grabbed my arm without hesitation and used the technique of flotation, he would have died.
He praised me for doubting Master Lillian and gave me a reason to be convinced.
By making the 'Guardian Ordered by the King' apologise, he avoids the suspicion of a 'country' called Sarovara.
It still respects my position of 'protecting the subject of escort' and allows me to continue the mandate which I have given to me by His Majesty.
Between the glances, what Lillian pointed out that he did not order, and... the achievements of His Majesty the Mage to date.
Given those, I would expect it to be easy for her, such as making it only in her favor of Irfena. The more certain she wanted to be, the more unfavourable the conditions were for Sarovara.
But I'm guessing Lord Magic Master didn't want that. What I'm doing now is a testament to that.
No wonder I'm more suspicious and emotionally aroused than anyone else.
Because to her, it's too irrational hostility.
Yet what she prioritized...... perhaps the relationship between Ilfena and Sarovara.
I do not know if it is the gift of His Highness Elshon's education or his original character, but His Highness the Mage has' chosen 'it.
Second, I remember the words of a mage who was a friend of my father's. For his magical unusable self, he was a respectable subject. Magic, of course, that deep knowledge made me think so.
Yes, this is what he said.
"The Magic Instructor is called [the scourge of the world], etc., but I don't think so. Because it was always the other person who set it up, and the results were used in the right direction for the continent. '
"Is power evil? If you have an overwhelming strength, shouldn't you do something to break the obstacle that blocks right in front of you? I think I'm the ones who forgot the benefits and tailored them conveniently and badly."
'That's a funny story, isn't it? [Disaster] What a name to give to a frightened being!
There would be a small number of such ideas in this country. But I was very convinced.
'Strength to protect people' is, in other words, 'power to kill'. Do those who turn their respectful eyes to a knight have the same respect that the knight would have if he tried to kill himself?
... the answer is no. I just have the sentiment of respect because it's only the 'side of protecting myself'.
When I realized there, the common name 'disaster of the world' seemed really hilarious. That's what I call it because of the weak, because it seems that way.
And.
My Lord the Wizard, who walks behind me, should have been called like this. "Merciful, proud exonerator of sin," he said.
Whether it is not in your own interest or turning a great power against your enemies, a magical guide who accomplishes his will.
Whether you are willing to resist or weak, you have the tenderness to lend a hand, and the cruelty that you will not forgive your enemies.
This state of affairs is now due to the consideration of His Majesty the Mage. Rumors were true.
I realize that and express my gratitude secretly in my chest. Whether you put it in your mouth or not, she won't take it. 'It's me you're protecting,' he says, trying to give Sarovara only a drop point.
I had to respond to that tenderness, and the power caged in my hand, which was unwittingly squeezing the pattern of my sword.
I will tell His Majesty my apologies and facts when I leave here. Swear so hard.
