The Magician Wants Normality

― ― In the office of Ershuon (Ershuon perspective)

Elle, why don't you take a break?

Al calls out as he looks through the documents piled on the desk.

At that moment, I feel tired in my eyes and shoulders somehow, so it's cash. Al said, "Elle is working all the time unless someone stops her."

It is a secret that the words I was told with a bitter smile blushed slightly.

In the past, I not only took it for granted, but also regarded [being a royalty capable of work] as my raison d 'être.

Since Al and the others understood the need for it, they would have reluctantly urged me to take a break.

If I were to be said to be "overworked" as a bitter saying, I might have become superfluous.... I think it's highly probable myself.

The Knights were aware of it, so they paid a lot of attention to it.

……

It was a fact that, of course, I felt sorry for myself, and that I was embarrassed.

What kind of [Demon King] is that? It's because of the huge followers of those around him!

"You're hard-workers who don't know the limit, right?" Al said to me, "It's new to my memory."

Yes, 'you guys'.

In other words, Al and Mizuki put me in a "hard worker who doesn't know the limit" (= a rampant human who explodes everywhere if he doesn't stop)...!

It goes without saying that my face twisted. Am I one of Mizuki's kind?

It's definitely not my fault that I don't feel praised at all.

In addition, it seems that Mizuki is a "cat loyal to instinct that does not stop, but sometimes needs to exercise its power".

Mizuki himself: "You can sleep even after you're dead! If you know what you have to do (= retaliation), you have to act! If you are prepared not to devote your efforts and your guts and your means, you can do it! 'and other big fools.

It seems that Al and the others decided that they were not overinterpreting, but just telling the truth.

It goes without saying that as far as I can recall, I thought it was a very satisfactory evaluation. Good job, Guardian. I understand the nature of the surveillance subject.

"Oh, that's right.... oh, my body seems so dull."

"Well, that can't be helped." I have heard that the wounds from the raid can be healed, but that the scraped strength and the load on the body are irrelevant. All Elle needed was a rest. "

"I've had enough rest." I've never spent so much time there.

"Still, there were visits and trivial work with people who seemed to be visiting." It was a shame that it wasn't a complete holiday. ”

Al smiles bitterly, but I don't think there's any choice. At least if you're in a position like mine.

Still, I got a lot of rest.... back then, Irfena would have been in a hurry.

Thinking like that, the door to the office suddenly opened without knocking. Instantly, Al moves in front of me.

... but...

Shortly afterwards, the twin knights rolled into the room - I think this expression is correct. Besides, it looked like she had tears in her eyes.

"Excuse me!"

"Your Highness, it's an emergency...!"

Without much haste, Al and I looked at each other. Because I know their special abilities and their achievements so far, it's unusual not to be able to avoid them.

What the hell happened to you?

"W-Well, that's..."

”... it's terrible to leave me behind”

"" Beard ""

When an unfamiliar voice interrupted, the twins instantly tightened their faces.... somehow, Al seems to be on the alert.

However, I became confused by the voice that appeared.

"...... Farrell?"

"Yes, it's been a long time."

"Why are you...."

Tilt your neck to the appearance of an unexpected person. Because he is my brother's direct knight, he rarely comes to my office, even if he knows his face.

Just as Al and the others did not leave my side, neither did they leave my brother, the Lord.

Especially since my brother is the prince of Ilfena, the security is tougher than I am. Farrell and the others were responsible for it.

Farrell was smiling bitterly at the sight of us.

"You've terrified these two so much." I'm telling you that I'm going to tell you the truth... "

The twins gazed at each other, and the twins froze.... but knowing their special abilities, which Mizuki trained every day, somehow made me realize it.

I don't want to get involved... a bad feeling = a sign of trouble.

The twins come to me in a hurry. Without knowing the details, they probably tried to pass on some information to me as soon as possible, as a result of their extraordinary abilities.

And.

One thing bothered me.

"You guys should have been with Mizuki." Did Mizuki return to the Knight's Dormitory? "

"Ugh...!"

Ehhh...

Hold on a second.

"Your reaction is one thing, what's it like...?"

I turned my attention to Farrell while I had a bad feeling about it.

On the other hand, Farrell shrugged his shoulders with a bitter smile.

"No... Actually, I invited your black cat to my dormitory."

"...? Mizuki and you guys don't know each other, do you?" I don't think I'd go anywhere with her, no matter how much you guys were knights of Ilfena. "

Oh, you don't trust me, do you?

"It's not that, it means' I know what I'm allowed to do '."

"If you shut up and imitate yourself, it will be Elle's responsibility." In that sense, Mizuki doesn't act on her own accord, Lord Farrell. "

"Hee..."

Farrell's face was impressed by what Al and I had to say. I didn't think they would definitely say "I won't go with you" for that reason.

But this was true. We know who Mizuki and I are, and we just have to shout, so Mizuki will spare no effort.

If you give an example, it would be the [secret tea ceremony] proposed by Charlene the other day.

Charlene, my knight and guardian sister - and of course Mizuki - came to get my permission.

Mizuki is surprisingly firm in this kind of thing, as if he were a 'national character' who thinks that 'a friendly friend has courtesy'.

... but sometimes I take small tricks like making Rudolph a messenger and reporting back.

“Great education, isn't it? Is it because of His Highness's education?"

No, from the source. It seems that the 'national style' attaches great importance to such things.

Oh, she's an alien, isn't she?

The nodding Farrell looked kind to Mizuki. But Al and I never let our guard down.

He is also a [knight with a name of wings] and a person who can become the direct report of the prince. That expression is not necessarily true.

But unfortunately, you've already invited me.

“What about you?”.

I don't know what it means, and Al and I raise our voices.

With a deep smile on our face, Farrell said frankly.

"You were forced to invite me earlier." Now that I've used the transfer technique, I'll be in my Knight's Dormitory. "

"Geez..."

Lord Farrell, isn't the order different? We should get Elle's permission first, without letting Mizuki know. "

"Fufu, I'm sorry. But my Lord saith unto him that he might judge the exchange.

I'm saying my apologies, but I don't think I'm at all sorry. In the slightest tongue, I heard Al's frustration.

As Al and the others can say, the lives of those like them are paramount. That's why my roots are coming back this time.

"I see, because I am said to be overprotective, I wanted to deal with it without any followers?"

“Yes, we were ordered to identify you because we couldn't see you in person.... there are many rumors that this mage is noisy. It must have been judged necessary from the standpoint of the Prince of Irfena."

Forgive me, Farrell, but I'll bow my head. I could not spin the blame words because I could understand his words.

... but...

Farrell seemed to have misunderstood what my worries were about.

"Hah... well, that's fine." I won't be held responsible for any imitation I make of myself. "

“Rest assured, I will deliver it to you responsibly.”

No, I'm telling you that you're not going to be held accountable for your heartbreaks.

"... eh?"

With a smile, Farrell hardened. Without letting that opportunity slip away, Al and I are going after each other.

"That's right, it's Mizuki." The other day, I treated King Harvis with impunity, and I can't guarantee I'd be rude. ”

"That's good, Al." You want to see Mizuki without us following you, don't you? You'll miss that much. ”

That's right, if you don't miss it.

It looks like you've taken some kind of gesture after abducting me all of a sudden, but there's nothing you can do about it.

“That won't be a problem. In the first place, you should be able to work with them to understand what their position is like. I wouldn't be angry if I was wrapped up in" Civilian "with" Young Women of Other Worlds ". I'm just ashamed of myself.”

Haha, it's only natural that you don't imitate me like that, right?

That's right, even if you're not used to Mizuki's behavior, that's natural.

"Eh, um, a little...?"

Farrell's face twisted as he spun words with joy at me and Al. I'll laugh at the smell inside you.

"Ahh, that's why I told you to stop it..."

"Without His Highness and the guardians, I don't know what he's talking about..."

That's why I came to report to you in a hurry.

"... what? I was worried about her..."

I don't care about the other person's identity. Is that because he's a stupid cat that you can say anything you want?

Farrell's face twisted as he heard the twins mutter.

In such a state, I gradually lowered my drink.

"Don't worry, I'll pick you up."... however, neither I nor Mizuki will take any responsibility for what happened in the meantime. "

I feel sorry for my brother, but since I decided that I wanted to deal with him without a guardian, I have absolutely no problem on my side.

I think it's only a mistake to look at Mizuki's personality, but it's a good opportunity to get to know our stupid cat.

With that in mind, I couldn't help but hope that I wouldn't make a statement that wasn't rough.

In the first place, Mizuki was an alien. Different common sense and values are commonplace.... even if it's "not a big deal" in Mizuki, it's not likely to take any damage from people who are not used to it at all.

If you notice, Al looks at Farrell with a nice smile. I don't think I'm going to kill Mizuki right now either.

I hope you're safe, right?
