Episode 20: Dancing Monster * 11

Gakin, there's a dull sound.

... the sound of Laocles catching the scythe of the king's shadow with his sword.

The scythe, which had been pinned at the critical juncture, was stopped when the king's neck was slightly torn apart.And there, he's antagonizing Laocles' sword.The shadow of the King and Laocles remain with each other.This equilibrium will collapse at once if either one of us relaxes for a moment.

"... who are you?"

Laocles asks the king's shadow as he compares his strength with his twist.

Shadows don't answer. However, I only knew that I was trying to cut the king's neck even harder.

Laocles responded with a lot of strength.... Laocles seems to be superior to pure power.The black scythe manipulated by the king's shadow is gradually pushed back.

"King, come here!"

Aiming for a gap some distance away from the sickle blade, I pulled the king's hand and evacuated him to everyone.There, Faye was delivering a red dragon, and Princess Large was delivering a golden dragon.Slowly hiding the king behind the dragons, he sat there as if he had lost power.I guess I was surprised.

As soon as the King evacuates, his shadow will fly towards us.

... we have two dragons here, but we can't defend them well.

When the Red Dragon twitches its tail, the King's Shadow shrugs it and avoids biting Princess Large's golden dragon.... the dragon is big, but this room is small, so I can't move well.

And the shadow of the king approaches the king.Shake the scythe and aim for the king's head...

Let me!

But in the shadow of the king, Fay collided from the side and greatly shifted the trajectory of the scythe.

The King's shadow stares at Fei.The next target appears to be faded, and the scythe is ruthlessly approaching the fade.

... but that's it.

"All right, go!"

Fei drove the Summoners to the shadow of the King, who had drawn himself to the brink of death... and sent the Fire Spirits all together.

The flames seem to work well for the shadows.The king's shadow was engulfed by the fire elite, and he screamed.

I won't take it off next time!

And there comes Laocles.

... the sword of Laocles is wrapped in thunder, and it shines with bitterness.

The sword was vigorously swinging down into the king's shadow...

Laocles' sword succeeded in sewing the king's shadow to the floor!

Are you still alive?

While I was taking care of Faye's arm, Laocles stared down at the king's shadow and looked a little disgusting.

"It seems to be extremely resistant to physical attacks, but even with magical attacks, it won't end until it's sewn up...."

"Well, if the information I got is correct, this is probably the Devil's messenger, and I'm sure he has that much power."

Crowe, who came from the side, said so and sighed.

"... does that mean it's your turn?"

And even more so.

"Well, I guess that's what this is all about."

Laocles and Claire nodded at each other and looked back at me...

Use the light brush.

"Fill that shadow."

Quickly, I'll put out a brush of light. [M]Uh... from the birds.

... it seems that this bird has a lot of stuff in its feathers, and the light brush is also in the storage.Or do birds want to store glowing things in their feathers...?

The bird seems to like the light brush entirely, and as soon as I finish using it, I collect it and put it in my feathers.Well, that would be helpful...

... so I put my hand in the bird's feather and put out a light brush.The bird says, "Do you have it?"But I don't give a damn."The light brush seems to be your favorite, but it's not yours.

What color would you like?

Isn't it white?

I see.

In consultation with Lyla, choose the color of the paint.Lyla's answer was simple.In other words, the brightest color.

I quickly put plenty of white paint in the light brush...

Peta.

... I tried to glorify the king's shadow.

"... this works really well."

"Mmm...."

... the driftstone is the brush of light, or the sword of the brave.

As soon as the brush of light flashed against the king's shadow, the king's shadow suffered and eventually disappeared.It worked really well. The sword of Laocles and the attack of the Fire Spirit were definitely more like attacks...

"Your Majesty, that was...."

Okay. Okay.

The first thing to do after the battle is to ask the king about the situation.What the hell was that?

"... that's the devil's hand..."

But the king couldn't talk, so he shut his mouth.

... well, I don't think you want to say that you're working with a bad opponent.Especially where a lot of my children are listening.

"Well, I know all about it.You're the Devil's Hand. "

So Fay said that to block the king's words... and he said that.

"So... I want you to respond to our conversation.On that condition, we won't talk about this, and we will protect you with the power of the Spirit in the future! "

... the king nodded somehow.

The face also looked relieved.

... maybe this is good.It seems that the King has been able to use the excuse of 'impossible', so he doesn't have to overwhelm his feelings.

... so I'm on the move to change the place a bit.

"By the way, where's that brush...?"

"Ah, this is a tool for spirits that were protected by spirits in the back of Soleira's woods.It is a tool to exorcise evil and make impossible. "

... the King asked me about the Light Brush and the Sword of the Brave, but Fay lied with a cool face.

Yeah. Um, Faye, I think you look just like your father here.

... and then the conversation came true.

Faye and Faye's father and brother came from here, and they treated me, my escort Laocles, and my personal assistant, Lyla.And then, Mr. Crowe decided to say, "Secretary of the House of Red Gard." Perfect formation.

On the other hand, the king is the king, Princess Large, and Princess Large's oldest brother.

... Princess Large's brother seemed to be steadfast.I'm sure you and Princess Large are getting along. They seem to be getting along pretty well.My brothers and sisters are different, but for the time being, they seem to be close.

"First of all, I would like to apologize for this.... thank you so much for saving our father. "

That's what Princess Large's brother said, and he bowed his head to us.

"The First Prince's Aureus.My sister always takes care of me. "

And with a smile, Prince... that's what Prince Aureus said.Princess Large smiled happily.That's good, brothers and sisters. I think I wanted such a sister or brother. [M]... no, I knew it.

"I really wanted to talk to you once.This kind of place was born..... "

"Aureus"

The king blocks Prince Aureus from speaking with his face broken.The moody expression closely resembles the expression I painted, which is a bit funny.

When the king coughed... he glanced at Faye's father and quickly started.

"What do you want? What do you want?"

With a slightly pungent, yet frightening word, Faye's father answered gently.

"The option of creating something more than breaking it.That's what we want. "

Faye's father took it easy and started talking.

"Let me be honest. Our union of nobles can destroy you at any time."

... a loose word is an insidious thing to say.

"There seems to be some reconnaissance.You know, this army is already outnumbered by the Royal Legion.And above all... when we stop the distribution of supplies at once, King's Landing dies. "

The king began to express his anger by raising his blue lines between his eyebrows.At the same time, she is bluishing and her eyes are swimming.Well, I mean... it must be poking me in the pain.

"It hasn't been a day since some of the King's Capital's immediate territory was devastated by magic.If the land, which was a barn area under the Royal Government, were to remain enchanted and uncropped, would the Royal Army be depleted? "

"You....!"

When the king finally stood up, angry or afraid.

"And we don't particularly want to destroy the royal family."

Faye's father said that and killed the king's momentum.

"We can accommodate food shortages here.Especially Soleira in my realm has benefited from the grace of the Spirit and is still prolific this year.The surplus will be fine even if it goes to King's Landing. "

Looking at me, Faye's father smiles.Um... it lights up a little. I don't think that Soleira's abundance is necessarily due to my power... but I'm not in a bad mood.

I often receive prayers and offerings from people in town saying, "Thank you for your grace all the time," but then I get better... and then I feel a little bit better or happy.I want to help more, and I want to love more.Yeah, that's how it feels to be really grateful.

"Then give me some food. Instead, what have you done so far, spare me...."

"Rather than trying to buy it cheaply, the thieves who tried to steal the whole thing under the name of 'tax collection' will have enough to spare."

I thought... all of a sudden, the air on the table was tight.

Faye's father is calmly angry.... this is a little scary. Yeah, no, not a little bit, I'm pretty scared.

"We want to have a good relationship with you.I want to distribute what I distribute, interact with each other, and produce good things.It's not that one of us eats the other, it's just that we're good neighbors. "

Faye's father, who was so angry, folded up.

"... but under your rule, I stepped on it.So I want independence. That is the will of our union of nobles. "

... the King was still pointing his silent pale face at Faye's father.

I said, "I won't forgive you for that."

Eventually, the king said, "Poof."

"War?"

... the king is not angry right now.

I'm just scared.

I've been stripped of all my angry armor, and I've just shrunk as I look at Faye's father and sometimes at me.

"No, not at all."

But Faye's father answers, "Clearly."

"As I said... what we want is the independence of the Union of Nobles.But at the same time, it's about choosing a path that produces something without breaking it. "

Faye's father said that while scratching his cheeks.This kind of trick looks like a fake.

"So... tell us what our independence requires."

At last, this man has a reassuring smile that looks like Faye!

First of all, is it open? If there is land to compensate for the magical depletion of the royal domain, it will suffice even in the kingdom and the noble territory that is not independent. "

"... what?"

"There will be no problem with the industry, but it is better to make distribution arrangements at an early stage.Of course, without any unilateral disadvantage to each other. "

The king was gloomy.

"Is there anything else you need?Oh, of course, you don't have to do it now. "

"Ah, ahh...."

The king was only confused, and beside him Princess Large and Prince Aureus were also confused.

"... is that okay? Such warmth..."

"We are, so to speak, losers.Why would you bother doing that?It's not in your best interest to help us. "

Each leads to a somewhat sad question.And Faye's father nodded...

"Of course, that's because it's good for us."

Yes, I did.

"After our independence, we will surely slowly, but surely, become culturally different in our country and in yours.Then we'll be born here with something we can't create. "

Faye's father's words must have been unfamiliar to Princess Large, Prince Aureus, and the king.But I know.

Culture is a treasure one by one.I have beautiful things for each.

The vibrancy of Japanese paintings and the distance of ink paintings are wonderful.And Roman sculptures and frescoes are amazing.I also like the jade cabbage found in Taiwanese museums, and the Milo Venus that comes out of the Italian fields is lovely.Ophelia, the last supper, the night guard, the beauty map, The cathedral, and the Statue of Liberty all have their own virtues....

They might not have been born if culture had disappeared.That's why it's important not to lose anything.

"It's better to have as much as possible.It's possible to take it, crush it and erase it, but at the same time it may erase the seeds of something that enriches the future. "

"... well done. Looks like you have a wide view and desire."

"It hurts."

Prince Aureus and Faye's father smiled.I'm glad we're talking!

"That's how we can incorporate good things into each other.Don't lose each other's uniqueness. "

"Yeah, that's what we want."

On the other hand, the king listening to them on his side looks a little complicated.

Well... it seems like the king doesn't really understand the feelings around here, and as a king, it's complicated because it would be more profitable for him to work hard as part of his reign without letting the aristocracy federation become independent.

But I think this area is about to break with each other.

"Then what do you need..."

And finally, Faye's father said,

"... a battle with the Devil's Hand?"

The king pulls his lips tightly. I feel nervous.

"We kill each other, it's empty.If you want to fight, let's join hands and fight together against the Devil's Hand. "

Princess Large and Prince Aureus nodded to each other.After that, it's the king's decision.

"Now, let's talk. Your Majesty, who brought you the power of the devil?What is the purpose of that? "

Then, for a few seconds, the king remained silent.

But we wait. Stand still and wait for the king to speak to you.

... and the king said, in a state of tension, like a sinner who confesses his sins.

"... the Devil King"

"The Demon King is resurrecting."

... is that demon king different from the black, fuzzy, amorphous one that squeaks?
