The Magician Wants Normality

One of the stories "Black Cats Start Playing" (Mizuki's Perspective)

While staring at the knight in front of me, I secretly looked at the knights around me.

……

Yes, everyone looks very well behaved! However, if I was honestly told that I had the impression that I was a♡ "nice knight"... I would definitely say "no".

After all, a smile reminiscent of Al's.

Al is a close friend of the demon king, a son of the duke's family, a good young man with a polite tone and a good human figure...... is "an evaluation from people who know nothing".

I hate people who think that their inner self doesn't matter except for the extreme part.

No, that's fine. That's it!

The problem is that Al persisted in his attitude, not only towards the nobility, but even towards his royal counterparts, and sometimes he said, "If I find out! 'You're going to do all the stealing you've been saying.

This is not about the possibilities. Sarovara's Lillian, if you want to give us an example.

A childish princess was seduced - even if she didn't want to - but it seemed she was definitely doing it in order to gather information - and if the facts were known to Tirucia, she would have to retaliate.

... so.

"Problem Child Argente" has such a troubled face, but if you don't know its true nature, you really are a "well-mannered young man, no matter who you are".

The knight in front of me somehow reminds me of Al... the other one who came to kidnap me -- the one who went to the demon king, or the one who wasn't here now -- was just like that.

It's impossible to tell you not to be vigilant.

Needless to say, if you knew Al, it was natural to be vigilant.

The knights seemed to appreciate it somehow, and I didn't care if they showed a vigilant attitude.

That said, my stupid, honest responses seemed unexpected and sometimes surprisingly honest.

As far as I'm concerned, I just decided that it was better not to mislead because they were knights belonging to Ilfena, loyalists called "knights with wings".

I mean, they're like the Knight's Dormitory, right?

Everyone who specializes in "genius and somehow paper" goes to the land (predicted), right...?

As a person familiar with the face of the Knight's Dormitory, I cannot help but judge. Look, even Konoe, there are people like Clarence as a matter of course!

If you're trying to deceive these people... well, I guess it's just going to be a long time of restraint!

Slowly speak all of them. What I don't want to hear... no, even if "what I shouldn't have heard" is a lot of content.

"You... it looks like you're telling the whole story to the idiot, but isn't Lord Elshion telling you anything?"

I don't think they said anything else.

"...... Really?"

"It's true. Well, it's possible that I didn't realize it because I'm living on my own." I mean, if you're always looking out for the "best response", that kind of restriction will only get in the way, right? "

"You can make that decision... is that what you think?"

"If you can't do that much, you can't stand around in another country."

With a smile, the knight pushed silently with an indescribable expression. In that silence, I know that I was right.

Haha, don't you like it, Knight? I don't ride in such easy-to-understand hands, do I?

By the way.

This question is actually a trap for knowing whether "the Demon King had given such instructions or not". "Whether it's a puppet of the owner or not".

Therefore, the clear answer such as "yes" or "no" is NG. I was supposed to be the demon king's pawn.

On the other hand, the answer I gave earlier was "Just what do I think", and since the demon king's own thoughts are unclear, ah! "I didn't even say 'I've been instructed'...!"

Now, let's play a little more.

"I'll tell you, all the answers are just 'my personal interpretation'." [I know you know that], but the Demon King is overprotective to me, no matter who he looks at. "

You know that, right? You wouldn't say, "I don't know," would you? 'With all the threats, the knight's face twisted in an easy-to-understand manner.

"Ah... ah, of course, even if you know it"

"Yes, thank goodness! I wonder if some of the people I've bumped into have regretted losing to me so much. Some of them doubted [Demon Lord's instructions]!"... what if the knight of Irfena is so stupid!? 'I was a little worried! "

"H-heh...?"

"But I was relieved that it seemed different." But I apologize because I suspected something. I'm sorry. "

"...... No, you're right. I'm so sorry about this."

I was suspicious because of my previous experience! 'I apologized while insisting, and the knights thought that I couldn't blame you for that -- because I didn't lie -- and said the words of apology.

...... Damn.

It looks like I found out that I was playing with you. That's right, the chosen knight.

Rather, if we continue the conversation without apologizing to each other here, it seems that we have pushed the path of gangrenous sin.

From the beginning, I was a civilian, but the knight was suspicious of the Demon King - [royalty]. We are 'disrespectful' to each other.

Whether it's a mage or a civilian! In response to this, 'You will cast a shadow of suspicion on Lord Elshion!' "And yelled back, and promised to turn into a muddy swamp.

It is not up to me and the knight to fight at that time. "Demon King, VS Brother."

Brothers and sisters quarreling over each other's children. Probably burning each other's knights as well.

That sounds like fun (?) However, since the demon king's sermon was confirmed later, it would be best to stop it here.

I guess that's why they didn't chase after him. A knight-like hand that could read the air seemed to end the commotion unexpectedly.

……

I'm sorry to hear that.

--After that, an offensive and defensive battle broke out between me and the knights.

There was a very plain fight to read the back of the words and avoid each other without making a decision.

It was time for me to get bored. It was a [fun game of knowing the opponent], but it would be the same for the knights who rode in the taunt.

Perhaps, after this discussion, my evaluation will not be random - it will be recognized as a "fact" rather than a "rumor" - but there will be no regrets.

No regrets at all! I don't know!

……

I guess it's time we picked you up.



The second part of the story "Parent Cat, Something Disturbing Signs" (from the Perspective of His Royal Highness the Demon King)

……

It was tea time where silence lasted, but for some reason... I didn't have a very bad feeling about it.

I don't think the subject is the Farrell in front of us. He is my suppressor, so he shouldn't hit me with a bad hand.

If so.

"Then, this [unpleasant feeling] is..."

”... it's time for Mizuki to get bored and start playing”

“How's it going?

Unconsciously, Farrell looked at me with a strange face.

... Yeah, that's usually what happens. Anyway, you probably don't understand why 'bored' is' playing '.

But Farrell wasn't the only one who reacted that way.

"Ahh... I'm sure it's about time I got tired of it."

You deserve it, don't you?

"I don't know, but I'm sorry..."

Al and the twins nodded with complacency.

In the first place, Mizuki should be here with me on my break.

However, he was invited in a manner that was close to abduction, and his time for snacks was also destroyed. "And if you don't release me from my restraint..."

The victims were, of course, his knights, including his brother.

Well, they're good, too, so it won't be that easy.

"Um, what's a 'play'?" She's in my dormitory. "

Confused, Farrell asks. If I were the only one, I might go through with "I'm worried", but even Al and the others seemed to feel uncomfortable about the same reaction.

That's what it means.

Al is very kind... no, I joined the conversation with a pleasant expression on my face.

“I hate boredom because kittens are fun.”

"Kitten!? Oh, that's her." No, well, I know it's hard to say it's a good time, but.... "

"No, that's fine." Rather, from Mizuki's point of view, there was nothing to hide. She's not ashamed of what she's done, so I think she's being honest. ”

Um, yeah? Is that so?

Yes.

It seemed that Farrell's confusion was getting worse and worse. His eyes are gazed upon.

……

Certainly, you're not ashamed of what you've done, you stupid cat.

Rather, if you feel a little embarrassed, you should be more or less normal.

But such a thing is a dream dream again. Whether scolded or slapped, Mizuki's [um] character is not corrected.

If personality correction can be achieved so easily, I will not be called a parent cat. Day after day with the twins, I can't see myself for a moment! 'Isn't that what you're saying?

However, only some people close to Mizuki knew that.

As a result, Farrell didn't understand the meaning of our words and was tilting his neck. It is a pity.

Mizuki likes to play with words.

Exhaling a sigh, I spoke.

"I'm sure you'll try to extract a story from Mizuki." Naturally, it is expected that some of these questions will include questions like hooks. ”

And he cut off his words, and looked toward Farrell with a cage of pity.

"Mizuki is not so stupid as to ride in such a hand, and he can't be unaware. That's why... I'm going to set it up myself and play with it. Bad nature."

Ehhh...

"Of course, I think you're honest about what you asked." But I wonder if that's what you guys are doing. Otherwise, Mizuki's play... no, it's no wonder she's playing with you. "

Shit, I'm serious.

As expected, it's not a good idea to treat [toys] like that. Mizuki was not the only one to play.

Even if they were knights above their brothers, they would have dodged Mizuki's words well.... I'd like to think so.

Still, it's true that you're angry.

I hope you're okay, right?

It would be permissible to stir it up.... even though Al and the twins turned their faces away and shook their shoulders as if they were laughing.
