The Magician Wants Normality

- Irfena Royal Castle - In A Room (Elshon Perspective)

Consciousness slowly surfaces. I thought you'd wake up, blurry. I don't feel like my head is working any better than usual, but I still don't care because of my remaining laziness.

"Are you awake, Your Highness?"

"... Gordon?

"Yes, Your Highness has been down for about two days. I was attached to His Highness as a doctor and as someone who was involved in the production of that magic prop."

…… Demonic Props...... "

"Yes. His Highness was extremely tired from the influence of the magic props and stayed asleep all the time."

To Gordon's words, I rebuke how this happened to me.

……

... yes, they raided where I was with Rudolph.

Apparently, the Raiders excelled in magic, and I didn't know if my knights would make it. So I wasn't wrong to act then as' the second prince of this country '.

The knights of the escort would have been close by at a distance, but they couldn't hear us at all, so I guess we were isolated. It was an aggressive decision, but it worked out better than anything else.

Remember that much, exhale one thing. Rudolph would have been safe, not just me, if I had been certain of his vague memory. The Raider's Blade was taken by me standing up. So... Rudolph is safe.

In the first place, I guess you're just really tired with me. I should have been wounded, but I don't feel any pain.

That's when Klaus turned into a surprised but frightened face... Mizuki and Gordon's magic props activated correctly and connected my life.

The raid itself was not scary. The same goes for malicious words.

To me... No, to 'us' it was something I was used to.

Rudolph should have been neglected by his father king and subjected to some harassment and raids from an early age. By contrast, I am also involved in the dark parts of the country - not uncommon, such as buying grudges from other countries.

Of course, these can't just be harassment, they're the real thing, the crisis of life. The only thing that got me used to it was the two of us who seemed to be the target.

Or these things are not uncommon for royalty and high-ranking nobles. Control even that and stay strong! That's the general way.

"No man comes with those who are only protected" - "to that extent," worthless.

Seems harsh, but this is the reality. 'Being weak' is more than acceptable than being in a position to influence the future of the country, or, more importantly, the future of the people. Because I can't just let my ratings go down.

"Since then, what's happened?

Ask him to squeal, and Gordon silenced for a while. I get anxious about looking like that and look at each other to encourage ahead.

Eventually, Gordon told him that he would exhale.

"First, about Master Rudolph. Of course, you're safe... Well, sometimes you can't read the situation and you're staying in Irfena. Again, as a party, I was wondering why you raided, etc. Sometimes General Saillite held back beside him, and the Chancellor was convinced."

"Well, I guess it will..."

If I go back to Zebrast, I won't be able to get any information. I guess Rudolph wants to get some more information than he is one of the parties.

Or myself, I'm concerned about this raid. I've spent the last year or so as a guardian of Mizki, so if I were to be resented, there's a good chance I'd be guilty of the 'one who doesn't like the achievements of the magic conductor'.

If Mizuki finds out about it.

... if you realize that the cause of my injury is on your merits.

"I guess I'll turn that anger into power and have a spectacular plan of revenge...... oh how can you, you bunch of people who planned a crappy raid......!

"What?"

"I'm worried about Mizuki."

In a variety of ways.

Of course, the concern is not in the direction of 'Are you not crying' or 'Are you sick of what caused it'. If you're a child who reacts so cutely, they don't call you 'Interworldly Violent Species'.

Mizuki is the creature who ignores the general reaction under the phrase 'I'm a different world man and I'm a magician' - absolutely, I don't think so - and makes plans for revenge.

Whatever, 'Sleeping can be done even after death! You should focus all your efforts on what you can do now (= retaliation)!' A great idiot to say the least. If they send me, I'll kill them back (Note: It's not just a typo). The result of all the manners I've done is the status quo.

Even a blurry head springs up mundane and angry. What have you done to me, my child will be rumbled...!

Angry black cats never stop. Sideless, retaliatory and counter-attack straight line.

Besides, even Al and the others won't stop Mizki this time.

... Yes, even my knights, Al and the others.

That much thought and I was curious about their situation. Those who were in charge of escorts should be punished more than I was wounded.

"Gordon, how are the men who were in charge of my escort?

Exactly. 'What kind of punishment?' I couldn't ask.... No, I was afraid to ask just a few questions. Because it is true that I was wounded in this raid and that I put Rudolph, the king of my neighbour, at risk.

They also have knighthood, so basically I don't speak out. I don't... but it's only natural to worry about the future of my "friend", who still serves me personally and has been by my side for a long time.

If you can, it's like being able to serve me again... I wish you would just do it with that degree of punishment.

Gordon seemed to have conveyed that thought, and after a mildly surprising look, he laughed happily.

"Rest assured. The attitude of the knights, who testified that Rudolph 'wanted to try out the effects of the new magic tools, so he told me not to put my hands on them' and made no excuse whatsoever, is appreciated and they are just being cautious about the knight dormitories"

"Right. … good, can we still be together?"

"Your Highness is not in a state of concern. Ning Ro, I was surprised that His Highness was honestly told such a thing.... you stopped hiding them when they mattered"

I'm a little concerned about Gordon's words, but exhale in relief at the facts he's told. - Know you can still walk with everyone.

But that was Gordon who couldn't finish it.

"His Royal Highness had hoped to use magic before. Including that, I added, 'I remember what I once admired and I must have overshadowed it'"

"Ugh...!

"It's true. You understand that having a magician beside you has also contributed to the growth of such thoughts… Ladies and gentlemen, I was laughed at painfully."

"Wouldn't you say something extra!?

Gordon is laughing, even with a jittery eye. Stick around, you won't have a choice if you turn your back on it.... I feel my face is red, but it's my fault. It must be my fault.

But what Gordon was saying was true. At an early age, he said, 'If you train your body, can you use magic?' It is my black history that I thought cheaply and fell ill.

It was a childish idea because I didn't really understand the magic. I didn't understand the dangers because I didn't learn properly.

Well, now that I've been through this state, I can only hope I didn't actually get to the point where I use magic. Instead of being ill at the height of my magic, you would be dead if you did poorly.

"... Mizuki said it." The magic of this world has excellent safety aspects, "he said. It seems to be stipulated in chants and rituals to what percentage of the total magic power of the surgeon. When I put it in myself, I'm convinced. You should only be using magic to the extent that you don't run wild, but you don't have enough strength to withstand the load on your body - the limit comes first, it's a problem before the runoff of magic."

"Do you still regret it?

"... no, I'm glad this is it. I have no magic talent. I just have magic. I didn't want to combine the rituals like Klaus and the others or use them like Mizuki."

I sincerely think so. What I aspired to was' a proud Lord for those who serve 'and not a sorcerer.

In the first place, you're nothing but a troublemaker, such as a magician who's always at risk of a rampage. The good news is, they just send you alone to the battlefield.

I think everyone stopped me from learning magic sometimes considering those possibilities. Because the situation was still unstable at the time and it was not strange whenever there was a war.

"But good. Without much punishment."

Again, exhale in relief. I am heartfelt, glad that that lively and enjoyable time was not lost.

...... but Gordon got a distant look somewhere with a raw warm grin.

"For that matter, Mizuki did."

"Eh."

I felt the pissy air freeze. It doesn't matter to me, Gordon goes on and on.

"Correctly, though, 'I returned home with the possibility of a reason for the raid and the evidence on which it was based, accompanied by the Saint's Palace in Barraksin'. Hey, Your Highness seems to have a cat blessed with strong luck and connections."

"Wait, I don't know what that means!?

"It means as it is. Right now, Irfena seems to be confused, too. Well, in that gap, I went to see the Saints and the Raiders, and I thought I'd come to my heart."

"No, let's stop it!? You must be Mizuki's guardian frame!?

Even as I get confused, I go in. No, no, it would be absolutely crazy!?

In Gordon's words, 'reasons for the raid have already been found, and there is just enough evidence to protest'. Besides, for some reason, even the Saint's Palace in Baraksin seems to be on Mizki's side.

"Uh, the... calling Mizuki here..."

"I can't allow it now. Your Royal Highness, you were wounded in the raid. It's something that, in Mizuki's capacity, isn't even that easy to meet. Whatever it takes, you get criticism."

……

Sure, what Gordon's saying will be true. No matter how close we are to our normal distance, we are not allowed in this situation.

That should be the same for Rudolph. That king will surely be depressed, but he won't see Mizuki blowing such air.

But he didn't have to worry about that.

"If you're talking about Master Rudolph, rest assured. With your permission, Mizuki was eating with you, accompanied by Argent."

"Right..."

That would be enough. Because even though it was necessary, I would have reminded Rudolf of his hard memories.

But then earlier anxiety - about Mizuki, of course - springs up again.

"As a guardian, preach to Mizuki"

"Rejected."

"As a guardian, I want to make sure you look safe at first sight"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you how your Highness is doing"

"I want to hear from my own mouth what stupid cats do"

"Give it up, now. Do you know the term 'too late'?

"........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Even something awkward...................... Gordon? You, on purpose..."

"Whoa, whoa, what are you talking about? I made my decision as a doctor."

Turning his suspicious eyes, Gordon deliberately flaunts his shoulder and returns to bed to calm me down when I nearly wake up.

- And.

"Hey... why are you pushing me into bed... eh"

"Take your time off. It's not going to be that good yet."

"... eh"

That is true, and the drowsiness has struck me whether I have drained my health, which I have only marginally returned to in my previous intercession. But I was holding onto Gordon's whining in my ear.

"Now let him like it. And... me and I are one of those people who's angry about this raid."

……

If they say it that way, they won't even be willing to go against it. Because I'm sure I've been worried about a lot of people. I'm happy with that fact and embarrassed at the same time.

So now... I'm going to give myself up to the sleeper. I'm sure you'll have a good dream.
