The Magician Wants Normality

Even though I'm just being honest, the knights are starting to look evenly tired for some reason.

Sometimes, as fellow students secretly exchange words with each other, this place is probably my identification and such treatment.

... that's why I don't think, "It's hard work."

Oh my God, you're the one who said you wanted to hear it.

Knight Dormitory Face is smiling at me like I'm preaching!?

In addition, if you think that Knight Dormitory noodles at that time have time to spare, it doesn't seem to be the case.

The knight said, "Even if you put the job behind you, the exchange between you and your Highness will be interesting."

Occasionally, there may be intruders who ask where they are from, so rumors fly from everywhere, which seems to have led to this abduction.

...... 'What kind of sermon is that?'

Even though there are mysterious evaluations and rumors flying around, it has caused further confusion.

……

I'm sorry. Knights are busy, too.

”No... you're nostalgic for your Highness, aren't you?”

One of the knights muttered with indescribable expression. There were several knights who nodded in agreement, and it was probably their common understanding or their current mood.

I could tell how they perceived me in such terms.

'I admire you' is not an expression of 'I swear to be loyal'.

'I miss you'! "You love this cat, don't you, owner?" That's the general meaning.

Therefore, I also nodded to affirm their recognition.

That's right, my dear cats.

"Kissing cats..."

"A lot of people say that, right?" The demon king's way of treating me was to say, "the owner with the cat" or "the loving parent cat". "

……

Don't be shocked, knight. However, I also know how confused it feels.

Not everyone was aware of it from the beginning. If you say it often, most people perceived it as "taking good care of me".

The word "adorable" is very vague from the beginning.

It can also be interpreted as "I have eyes on it" or "I expect it", or it can be interpreted as "I am trying to raise it because I expect it" or "I am trying to grow it by treating it harshly".

Since the education of Demon King Namaji was Sparta, people who had never had direct contact with him said, "In what sense are you [cute]?" I was wondering.

It's a bad way to put it, but from the Demon King's point of view, you can also interpret it as "handmade to use as a pawn".

Needless to say, most of the people who were looking at the Demon King with malice were aware of this. Once you think of it as "evil", you say that everything you do looks bad.

In addition, there were no people who thought, "I will kill the shepherd without passing on information to the bastard."

No matter who saw it, it didn't seem like it was just a spoiling love affair.

Even that Tyrusia looked confused. "You love Ershuon, don't you...?" 'It's the end of the mouth.

The Devil King's affection was not only for spoiling, since it included his growth. However, since it is not the way to treat people from other worlds, it seems that the surroundings have become confused.

For the record, it was Knight Dormitory's face that was smiling secretly and steeped in superiority after seeing those reactions.

They shut up, even though they knew the truth.

Said, "I want you to realize it yourself, including the meaning of reflecting on your attitude towards Elle so far."

If you say more, "When you realize it yourself, your perception will be reversed and you will feel guilty. Damn it! You'll regret it deeper than the sea! It seemed to be a state of mind.

The personality is bad, this is terrible.

I don't want them to be the only ones to say 'bad character', me.

"Well, after all, you actually looked at it with your own eyes and felt that the interpretation of 'owner' or 'parent cat' was the closest."

"Was there anyone who advised you that you were being tricked?"

"Even if I were here, I'm arguing, and in the first place, do I look like I'd be deceived by such a superficial lie?"

……

……

"...... That's impossible."

After a moment's silence, the knight nodded convincedly.

That's right! In the first place, the opportunity to exchange such words directly with me is mostly in the 'situation where I am dispatched for work'.

I mean, I'm admiring it.

If you witnessed such a situation, everyone would realize that there was no such thing as "beautiful faces and tender words".

After that, everyone was saddened to see the demon king preaching to me... "This person is really just looking after me as a guardian".

Be honest about your loyal servants.

"The Knight Dormitory face is enough to be loyal to the Demon King." With them, I can move freely. That's why, if you want to settle this, you have to be hostile. "

"... even if your own ratings get worse?"

“Why should I care about that?”

Huh?

Perhaps my words were unexpected, and the knight who had asked had a dumb expression on his face.

"I mean, I'm an [outsider of this world]." Is there anything I need to worry about? ”

"But..."

"My being an 'alien' remains the same. Of course, I was also a mage. Besides, there are many people who are mistaken, but I didn't say," I don't feel any value in this world. ""

It's true. For me, it's just a perception of where I'm living.

In the first place, even people in this world probably have that kind of perception. It's 'something that's natural'. Do you feel worth it, one by one?

"For me as an 'outsider', the important thing is not 'this world', but 'the people who helped me to live freely'. I'm not a philanthropist or an ally of justice. It just moves' for myself ',' for work ', or' because I don't like being hurt by people I care about. '”

I want to be free to say that it is the outer road, but I have never contested it.

I mean, the truth.

Well then, you're loyal to your Highness.

"Even the wildcat feels grateful to the cute one, right?" The demon king has never asked for such a thing, but I'm not going to be so stupid as to realize how much love and favors I've been given. "

'I don't like fools', so I say, 'I don't mean to be stupid.'

Knowing a given place of affection and comfort, I strip my fangs to protect it.

"You said it from the beginning, didn't you?" 'I'm in my own self.' That's why people around Rudolph say, "You're easy to understand." Loss or gain for me. And what results are desirable? I think it's much easier to understand than to explore the stomachs of aristocrats. "

However, it is also said that "the thought circuit that takes it to the settlement is unclear", so many people will make a mistake there.

You don't have to think about difficult things. The important thing is' what I want to do '.

To this end he is narrowing his wisdom, setting the scene, and breaking down every obstacle. Of course, the driving force is the strong will to "improve the situation for me."

Since you misunderstood it as "loyalty and kindness", don't you think my actions seem like something I don't understand?

Sometimes they say... 'Isn't there any kindness to turn towards us!?'.

I can only say 'hey!'. Why do you feel that way about someone you don't know?

I and my people understand it well, so no one speaks out against it.

You probably don't think that replacing it with yourself would be so convenient.

Besides,

People who raise their voices of condemnation or expect it will eventually think of me as a [convenient] token.

Unconsciously or unconsciously, this is definite. Because you don't want the same thing from anybody else!

"The demon king's education comes from goodwill and kindness, but I'm completely different." That's why they say "free-roaming kittens" or "wild cats", isn't it? "

”Ahhh... that's what you meant by being treated like a cat?”

"In the first place, it's just 'don't expect anyone who shouldn't be there'."

--That's why [your job is through the Demon King].

The knights looked at each other and sighed deeply as they laughed.

"... that is to say, the 'request from the nostalgic owner' is important and I am not interested in the problem itself."

"I'm not in a position to solve that kind of thing, am I?"

"...... I'm glad that Lord Elshion is your owner." It's dangerous to leave the wilderness alone. "

That's why you've declared yourself from the beginning, and that's what the Demon King said, right?
