The Magician Wants Normality

- In the room of the Royal Castle of Quivera and Lucas.

* The timeline is before the protagonist returns to Ilfena.

Numerous dishes line the table, with three men - Lucas, Virgil and Cyrus - in their seats. Their expressions vary with surprise, confusion, and objectivity.

Needless to say, it is Lucas who seems surprised. Virgil, you were openly perplexed - in this one case, it looks like you're off guard for now - and you were alternating between Lucas and me.

Cyrus, have you grown accustomed to a good addition or is King Kivella's permission out there, which determines the static view? What would have been unexpected to him would have been a breakthrough in getting to the table myself.

"Hey...... I found out your father's permission was out, but what the hell is this all about? Are you trying to eat with me?

"No, no, you don't have to look so suspiciously..."

"Think of what you've been doing. I won't refuse anything more than my father's permission, but I'm also a friendly eater."

"Ugh, suspicious!

His nose laughed instantly, even as he turned his jittery eyes. Oh, my God, it's as good as a meal, nothing.

"What the hell do you want...?

"Hmm... Dinner?

Fool, to be honest, Cyrus, you looked up.

"Why, doubtful... No, you can see that! Even I know that to create the fact that Lucas and I are being kind!? I don't know if they'll even include us there."

"Lord Commander, we are knights. No matter how close you are, you are in a subordinate relationship with the Lord, Master Lucas. I think it's only natural that Cyrus wonders."

You agree with me, Cyrus, Virgil. You've been snorting and shooting for cover, too. I can tell that these two knights are really careful from day to day.

It's trivial, but "clarity of subordination" is important. Even Al and the others only show up in front of the people very close to him as the 'childhood tame of the demon king'.

Failure to do so can sometimes lead to people saying that they are accustomed to "giving preference to personal feelings over differences in status". The point is that 'it is tasted by subordination' is evil pushed.

I don't know how to say I hate it. There are a certain number of people in your nobility who are bound by differences in status.

For a guy like that, it's unconditional and frowning. Lucas doesn't want to make any extra enemies, either, Virgil, because of the future.

... but. As far as I'm concerned, it's the situation I want to take advantage of.

"It's okay, this time you're right. 'Cause instead of' Lucas and the Wizard's Dinner Seat, two knights close to each other were present, 'the Wizard invited the three of them to dinner."

"" Huh?

The two knights raise their voices together, but Lucas got a look like he noticed something.

"These two get involved too...... are you going to let them know it's a connection to, or intimate pattern with, the Wizard?

"Your answer! You can have as many handouts as you want. Even if you can't get your hands on Lou, Virgil, I doubt Lou will be able to shelter you if you can aim.... Yeah, you might come after 'Lou's sheltering you, Virgil'"

Because it's close to Lucas, it's targeted. I don't know how to put it, but I have a better chance of success targeting you, Virgil, than targeting Lucas directly.

Whatever, Virgil, you have a proven track record of 'abandoning your birth and hoping to follow Lucas'.... you won't let go easily, Lucas will shelter.

"Virgil is fine with that, what do I mean?

With a strange face, Mr. Cyrus speaks naturally of doubts. To ask that question, of course...

"Now. Cyrus, how many times do you think I've heard of you before?"

I said the facts. No, no, seriously, now, right?

"It's okay! Cyrus, because we all know that you love King Kivera and Lou admits it too! Especially this time, I was with Lou at the night club, so I can appeal to you that I didn't mean any harm!

"Hey, you. That's what you pushed me to be Master Lucas' escort for!?

"Of course, other countries have been informed. Delighted, it is decided to use it effectively in the future. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

"I'm not happy!

"By the way, King Kivera has accepted"

"Eh."

To the stunning fact, Cyrus, you get pissy hardened. Virgil, you're distracted, too, but it's true.

"Maybe I'll be in charge of contacting Lou in the future. I have sworn absolute loyalty to King Kivela, and Virgil, my connection to you is not unnatural, and I have the guts to sell fights to the Wizard! Pleasure, Mr. Cyrus. You have been recognized by King Kivera."

"Ugh... Regardless of His Majesty or Virgil, 'I sold a fight to a demon mentor' is a past I want to forget."

"It's no use, is it? That's all the obvious attitude, and a lot of witnesses."

To tell the truth, Cyrus, you shut up with your head in your arms. Ha, black history is the one!

But I think that's an important element, too. You can't trust a guy who threatens me to take self-preservation or shut me up, can you?

"It's an extraction because I have something to think about my neighbors. Because I found out that a guy who's sworn allegiance to himself doesn't necessarily work the way he wants. Especially not in relation to Lou, ladies and gentlemen."

"Ahhh... well, that's"

Because you were there, Cyrus, you seem to be comfortable with what I'm saying. Lou and Virgil are tilting their necks, but it would be a tremendous reason for Cyrus, who was witnessing 'The Neighbors Poked and Silenced by the Magic Instructor' in real time.

Besides, Cyrus, you were asked for your opinion by King Kivera on that occasion.

You mean "treating outsiders not involved in this one"?

"Well, that's why. It is imperative to increase the number of people connected to the Magic Instructor. There's something about Lou's future, and King Kivela's friendship with the Magic Instructor is prone to the rebellion of the nobles. The erasure method is the right thing to do."

- Kivela, because there's a difference between the treatment of the raw Kivelas and those who don't.

If you continue to do so, you will realize that your younger brothers and queens should also be excluded. When the three of them were all together and looked at the idea, they snorted as they exhaled.

"Sure, yeah. The rebellion of the nobles is spared when my brother has a connection with the Mage Master in his present state. It's better for me to be the point of contact while Father keeps those guys in check."

Exactly. Lucas is quick to understand. He seems to agree with the policy of being the shield of his younger brothers because he knows how to be in a country called Kivela and the relentless voices of the nobles.

Virgil, you guys figured that out, too, and while you worked Lucas, you didn't disagree.

"If it had been me or Cyrus, I could have replaced Master Lucas..."

"Let's think 'I'm glad I'm a light knight' there, Mr. Virgil. It is the strength of a knight to act alone with nothing to bear."

"Exactly. Sometimes you'll have me move as my handkerchief.... I'm glad you're my knight."

"Dear Lucas..."

I don't have the power, but I'm light. That's why it's possible to move in secret, as Lucas's handkerchief, whenever you need it. Virgil, although you know that in itself, I guess you don't like Lucas being told all sorts of things again.

But when I opened my eyes lightly, I nodded like I was ready to see if I felt a difference between Lucas' words and his attitude that I could forgive.

Well, what's left is you, Cyrus, who's still troubled.

"I will shelter Master Lucas more than His Majesty is leading. Virgil and I will act as necessary under certain circumstances. Kuh... I have some thoughts about dealing with you in contact, but I can't think of a substitute...!

"Accept it honestly, toy. Now."

"It's hustling! If you weren't a vicious out-of-the-way daughter who needed 10,000 years of parental cat surveillance, I wouldn't think this way. Yo!

You want me to tell you something, toy?

No, no, Mr. Silas? I am the Wizard, your favorite King Kivera is an endorser of this connection. Are you convinced to live up to your husband's expectations?

... Well, I scattered you, but I treated you like a toy. As a very user-friendly connection to King Kivera, I'm using it all the time.

"... and that is. Does His Highness Elshon know about this dinner party?"

"Yeah, I know. In the first place, the ingredients were brought to me by the people who came to Kivera this time."

I'm not lying. I'm the only one who plans to return alone later, as I'm talking about it, including 'a purpose'.

I guess I was convinced to hear that far. Lucas looked slightly surprised but impressed.

"Well, has it been notified beforehand? His Royal Highness Elshon has always forgiven you, including cooperating with your father..."

"Along with having the ingredients come, he says, 'Have dinner with Lou and the others and then go home'."

"I guess that just gave the parents permission! You're a child! Who said I'd be in touch late to get home!? You should report it, including the Leeliers!

I yelled. Ha, it's not a good idea to be short tempered, calm down a little. Look, the knights are convinced without yelling...

"Your Highness Elshon...... what if it's like this every time"

"Maybe. I think it's just a habit for His Highness Elshon not to move at all, huh? Virgil."

"Thank you..."

"Well, if I amused 'this', I'd change my personality too..."

I'm not convinced, but I was obsessed with a lot. Besides, while dis me, the Demon King is pitied. Shit, I can't deny it.

Even if I look at the three of them with my jitsu eyes, I am returned with the expression 'I know it's true' all the time.

……

Well, okay. You can't be a fool to send me away forever.

Think so, take one sigh. Because this time there is also another meaning.

"Actually, this is the same menu as the last meal Elaine and the others ate. I got the ingredients from the same place."

"... eh"

When I screwed around, Lucas' complexion changed in an instant.

Lucas was in solitary confinement in Kivera at that time. The death of the Avengers must have been heard later in the story.

"By the way, this is it from me."

As I say, pour the liquid in the bottle into the glass. The liquid is red, with petals dancing inside.

"It's a liqueur I finished a while before that incident. Elaine's drinking the same thing."

When she revealed herself during the girls' party, Elaine was sparkling her eyes, even as she was stunned by the fact that she 'made it in confidence with the Demon King'. Sweet and beautiful, this liqueur was a remnant of pleasant memories, as well as another product for a friend who passed away in death.

Lucas is silent, staring at the liquid in the glass. Virgil, with the kind of gaze you guys can guide, Lucas didn't seem to realize it.

"Elaine... at all, you were thinking of me...?

As hesitant as it may be, I nevertheless was clearly questioned about the wording-

"Uh, I don't know"

Stupid. I tried to answer honestly. Immediately, the men become gyto-eyed.

"Hey, Demon Master!? Weren't you listening to Miss Elaine?!?

"Because they haven't made it clear! I don't know, Virgil. Elaine said we were" first friends, "right? I don't think you could afford that more than being recognized as a 'betrayal nobleman' in this quivera, would you?

Whatever, even Lucas treated me like that. Sometimes Elaine was a vengeful person, and she must not have been able to afford to think about anything else.

... but only one thing is certain.

"I wonder if you didn't hate it. I mean, I sympathized with Lou's situation. I think Elaine was angry at Lou because she said, 'You can say whatever you want, but you didn't shut them up'"

"For me... I was angry...?

"Elaine's not stupid.... Well, it wouldn't even be honest. You said something 'stupid man tricked by me', but that means' all bad Elaine - Prince Wang tricked by a bad girl 'if you return the back. Now that it's spread, a certain number of people have sympathy for Lou"

"Nah..."

"Nobody noticed about Elaine and the others. If it's a bracket called 'The Deceived', it's going to be the whole Kivera. I can't blame only Lou because I'm in the same position"

Was it unexpected, Lucas and the others who expose their consternation? But this was something I've always suspected.

"Of course, I think it's also true that I remembered my anger towards Lou in the middle of the late rebellion. From Elaine, she said, 'Don't shut up, just retaliate!' I would have been in the mood."

No, it's not you.

"Really? Elaine's strong enough, and she's very tearless."

"Eh."

Seriously! Rather than console, Elaine grabbed the chest barn and said, 'Come and retaliate!' Or so I say. '

"It's very hard to understand, but I guess I was willing to wear mud. From Elaine's point of view, Lou is like one of the few allies."

"I used it, did I?

"On the contrary, I ask, was there anyone who would shelter the 'nobility of betrayal'?

……

Shut up. You wouldn't have been there ~, to Kivera at the time. Lucas was genuine, wasn't he "comparable to the prince of Ogawa" to Elaine?

Elaine is around to use it and try to get revenge with her own hands instead of completing it...!

Elaine would definitely look like a mother who would say, 'Since I deserve it, I want it'. It's also true that I was angry with Lucas, but I even showed him.

I presume he was purposefully telling us' behind the scenes of the foolish King Prince 'with that feeling as well. Later on, it also sounds like Elaine was responsible for Lucas's terrible attitude.

At the same time, it could be unconditionally acknowledged if Lucas did some merit in reflection. There will be no lower than the lowest, and even as Kivela defeated by the Magic Master, 'it will be made to look like a fact'.

As a result, Lucas' rating is reviewed and what is inconvenient is to blame for his youth and Elaine. Elaine took Kivera's circumstances into account and led us there, didn't she?

"Not at all, not honestly, Elaine is! If you had any remainder of your heart, you could have relied on me."

Reminds me of Elaine and leaks a bitter smile about her. I know it's to keep us out of trouble, but you could have been honest about that.

But I can also understand what she can't say, in her character and circumstances. Because if I can't take responsibility, I won't entrust it to anyone.

In the first place, Elaine wouldn't be able to have a character like 'Healthy Daughter, Like Coming Out to Oga'. I would never fall asleep crying. It's just as retaliatory as I am.

That's why I felt so good. Me and Elaine both have the personality to 'use whatever you can for your own victory'.

…… I can't believe Miss Elaine, who was a vengeful man, was looking more at Master Lucas... "

Virgil, I hear you're depressed, and your voice has no hegemony. Cyrus, you are also letting your gaze swim at random.

... but a word from Lucas smashed such air.

"I wish you'd written me a grudge on the letter."

"Ha!? What letter... from Elaine!?

"Ah, oh. It's easy, but it was delivered to me."

"Why do you have such a thing!?

Lucas and the others are surprised by my sword screen, but for me it is a fact of shock. Because 'Elaine can't possibly leave something like that'.

"Can I see it?

"I don't know why you're so surprised... I don't care"

To say, Lucas took a seat and fished the desk drawer. And take out the white envelope immediately.

"This is it."

Receive the envelope offered and open the note inside. It did say this in Elaine's letters there.

"For a moment, let me repent. Did you do it?

"Buh... haha! Yeah, that's definitely Elaine's letter."

…… What's this all about?

Lucas asks me with a look of surprise when I burst into laughter. While I laughed too hard and wiped the seeping tears, I returned the letter to my original owner, Lucas.

"That means, 'I know you can do it, so don't go crying'. You're on the same level as your mother's" After You Deserve Me, You Need Me "!

It sounds like you're making fun of me, but it's definitely an encouragement. Elaine is not really honest.

I guess it's because I know Lucas' character that he incited and angered him and pushed him on the back.

"What?

"Because 'make Elaine regret' is a 'show it was worth more than you can say' or 'excellent property, but you let it go' regret. I know you can, so you're trying to get me to act up!

Lucas is dismayed by my interpretation. There you go, Cyrus. You've raised simple questions.

"What do you mean," When I deserve it, I want it "?

"That's what Elaine's mother told Count Addinsel when she was about to... That's far-fetched support. By the way, she's on her side after she finds out everything. When you told me, Elaine was frightened... that's right, mother and child! I can't believe we're doing the same thing."

"Yep... what an elusive love"

I agree with you, Cyrus, who has drawn your face, while still pointing to the letter that Lucas, still grumpy, is holding.

"That's because it's the only thing Elaine left. The Avengers later left no such items behind to prevent their achievements and thoughts from being conveniently interpreted and used. Of course, to us who are friends. That's why I don't have a name or anything to tell you. Still, you wanted to leave Lou a word."

……

"Hey, I guess I wanted to see it. You know, Lou, who strives even as Elaine scolds you."

"Hmm, you think so"

"I think it was a good combination inside, huh? 'Cause she's pretty good, too."

With all due respect, everyone knows. "There couldn't be such a future," he said.

It's because of Lucas' current situation and because Kivera is changing. In Kivera like before, you would never have allowed the two of them to be such a couple. Worst case scenario, Elaine is erased for disrespect.

Lucas stared at the letter's letter in a complicated manner, and still seemed important, behaving in its original place. It would be complicated all over my chest, but I guess there were some convincing parts.

And when he turns back to me, he slowly arms himself and declares.

"Hey, magician. You don't mind, but it's for this country and Elaine. I'll listen to you in the future. And then..."

So once, cut the words.

"My wife is just Elaine. In the future, I will neither marry my wife nor leave any blood behind. If you leave your children behind, they may argue with your younger brothers and their children. Most importantly, the house I'm going to be interested in is like the back of a talented person. It's your move, but I'll give you a ride."

I ran out of words with a fluttering attitude and expression.

Looks great. Sounds very, very great. But... just a little, I'm glad. Lucas would defend it more than purposefully declaring to me that 'my wife is only Elaine', wouldn't he?

You will support Lucas with the knights who smile as bitterly as they smile. You must defend Lucas more than you've been hit so far by Elaine, who should have been your enemy, even if you're mean.

'Cause they got a joker called' The Magic Instructor '.

Unlike before, there is a 'countermeasure' to irrational treatment. In the sense of proclaiming to use it, I also use the term 'your measures'.

Of course, you'll work with me.... Looks like it's Elaine's wish too.

"What looks great, say it after you get the results, Lou"

"You're right, but I'm angry when you tell me!

In the meantime, let's be strong on words that can be directed from people, Lou. It's okay! Because I'll think about the means of physically and mentally silencing annoying nobles to the point of rotting!

"In due course, Lord Magic Master."

"Please, take it seriously"

It's annoying, knights. What does that mean, a face that all looks anxious?
