Lesson 6: Lonely Monster * 5

On a chic black and grey carpet, surrounded by silver grey patterned wallpaper and a small chandelier of crystal workmanship, behind an ebony desk and sitting on an ebony chair, Luigulos looks at it.

... that Lugurus-san is close to being a monster. Like the king once, only some of them became monsters. That's the way it is.

"Ohhh... you've changed a lot."

And when she first saw Mr. Rugulos, Faye said so and entered the room without fear.

"Heh, on the wings at the corners, it's a bit like a dragon." I'm not a little jealous. "

While saying something that's not to be shy about, it's fine. While saying that, Faye is circling around Mr. Rugulos.

... sure enough, Mr. Rugulos is a bit of a dragon right now.

Dragon-like wings and a horn that stretches from my forehead. Rather than a dragon's tail, it's like stretching out an arrow that reminds me of a demon or something like that. And your limbs are like dragons. It's covered in scales and has long nails. There were a lot of similarities to René's dragon form, so it felt a bit like a dragon.

"...... Redgard. Are you here to make a fool of me?"

"No, no, no, no, I was just here to talk. Or what, did you want to be scared? That would be a shame! Look at you. I'm used to seeing you! There's a lot more weird stuff in the woods! Tsk tsk tsk!"

... well, I'm normal except for the wings. But he seems to be a weird guy. Yes, he's weird.

Um, Mr. Rugulos, right?

While Faye was peeking and Mr. Rugulos was looking a little irritated, Lila suddenly interrupted and looked towards Mr. Rugulos.

"Thank you for your letter, Lila Lazwald."

Even though it seemed to be a bit of a mess with Faye, it didn't seem like it was going to be much of a mess with Lila. I relieved my expression a little.

"Oh, you're Lila Lazwald." Thank you very much for your letter. "

Luigulos put his hand out to Lila... but it seemed that he remembered that his hand was a monster. Now, I tried to retract, but before that, Lila had already pretended to be holding Mr. Rugulos's hand.

"Ahaha, I'm sorry. I'm not Fay-sama, but I'm also used to creatures with a slightly different look."

Ms. Rugulos was a little confused by Lila's words. But pretending, pretending, she shook her hand and gently let go, she stared at her hand strangely.

"Ah, yes. With all due respect, I thought you'd often met me in a letter from me... can you tell me why?"

Lila said that to Mr. Rugulos, and she looked a little awkward.

Lyla herself seemed a little surprised by the reply to that letter.... well, even though Lyla said it, it was strange to think of the nobility and the common people, even if it was almost the first person she met.

"... I knew that Lila Razwald was a painter who interacted deeply with Tougo Wesora. Then I could have predicted that it would be Tuugo Wesora's offer, or the hired Red Gard family's offer."

Mr. Rugulos said that with a face like 'It's obvious'. Well, I guess so. Lila and I had a new exhibition at the Museum of the Imperial Capital, and Mr. Rugulos was a model of the paintings that were on display at that time. It is true that you know it.

Well then, do you mean that you set up a meeting seat in the same way as the letters from Princess Rage, Princess Tougo, and Princess Faye?

However, Lyra's words silenced Mr. Rugulos.

Shut up...... after thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth to get lost.

"No... I don't know." I could have refused. I want to do my best, but I'm not stupid enough to fall into a trap. "

Oh, that's right. If so, is it true that Lyla wrote the letter? It seems that Faye was right.

"I see. Well, at least I already know that you're the only woman I can't fight." The point is, if you're sure to come, you're sure to get someone who can't fight. That's convenient for us. "

"Hey, hey, hey. What does that mean?"

Faye frowned a little... instantly.

Shuru-kun, your tail is stretching out. Going forward... Lyla!

Lila...

"Huh? What the hell is this?!"

Rushing, Lyra's tail wrapped around her.... and then I rushed over to Lila unexpectedly, too.

... that's it.

"Well, uh, Tuugo, what are you doing?"

"Eh... no matter what I say... you're rolled up...?"

"... I see. I'm caught up in it."

Lila and I were wrapped around Mr. Rugulos' tail together.

"...... gh"

It seems that Mr. Rugulos is trying to lift us up with his strength in his tail, but if Lyla is alone, I can't lift it up anyway. The operation is difficult.

Um...... Mr. Rugulos

So I pull out my knife. That knife that Laocres and Crore bought for my protection.

”... please let me go, or I'll have to cut your tail off”

I gently pressed the knife against the part of the tail that wrapped around me and Lila so as to tie them together. Then, Mr. Rugulos stared at me.

... somehow, I think I recognize Mr. Rugulos' expression.

I thought, "What, I'm just doing my memories... oh, I see."

His expression is a bit like a forest creature. Still before I became a spirit. When they entered the habitat of the creature, the animals all looked like this.

Or an injured rabbit or a newborn deer. Everyone was like this... frightened, distracted, vigilant, and with this look on their face.

"Um, Mr. Rugulos. It's okay." As long as we're trying to talk normally, we're going to talk normally and go home. "

That's why I'm trying to calm him down.

"Well, uh... specifically, can you help us a little? I think if you help us, we can pay the appropriate price."

"For what? Huh." This is the Agent's house, isn't it? I usually get what I want on my own. ”

Luigulos said that as he made a fool of himself, he was sweating coldly on his forehead. You can feel it properly on your tail, too. I think he has a good feel for the knife, and is extra nervous...

You can go back from being a monster to being a human.

... but, yes, as soon as I told you.

Mr. Rugulos opened his eyes and looked upset.

After all, do you want to go back to being a human?

When I asked for confirmation, Mr. Rugulos did not hide his agitation, but lowered his gaze slightly and wandered to the floor.

"... naturally. Such a fierce figure, why am I..."

I wonder if it wasn't your intention to become a monster.

When Lila asked, Ms. Rugulos stared at Lila without affirming or denying it.

"Well... then, Mr. Rugulos." My suggestion... it's a strange story. "

Lila smiled a little and said.

"Why don't you turn around?"

"... turn around?"

"Oh. Can you betray me, Agent, and leave me alone?"

Mr. Rugulos opened his eyes wide and was stunned. However, because we are all calm, after a few seconds, he looks at us with a little suspicious eyes.

"Betray your uncle?"

That's what happens.

Princess Raju nodded lightly and Mr. Ruggiulos changed his expression to a bitter one.

"My name is Luigulos Zeil Agent." He's part of the Agent family. "

"Yes, but isn't Sir Agent necessarily working to your advantage?" I heard that from you earlier. "

Mr. Rugulos' objection was somewhat weak. Princess Rage chases at the words she says to herself.

"... your uncle was saying something?"

Mr. Rugulos, looking at us, asked somewhat frightened.

No, he just started a stupid negotiation.

"Well, he didn't talk to me, so I came to you."

Seeing Princess Rage and Faye nod their faces together and nodding at each other like "Nie", Mr. Ruggiulos' face suddenly seemed to be lost in judgment.

"Hey, what do you say? You just give us as much information as you know." It would be better if you didn't hide behind the Argent at the same time.... then we'll do everything we can to protect you. I won't let the Argents attack me, and I'll take care of it so that I can live a good life after the arsonists are finished. "

There, Faye got stuck.

"Speaking of losses alone, we will never lose." I swear on the blood of this Red Garde. "

...... Mr. Rugulos' eyes were shaking as if he was lost.

... and for a while, Mr. Rugulos was lost.

”... um, Mr. Rugulos?”

Lila called out to him, who was too lost.

"Um, I wonder if it's time for you to let go." It's not that hard, it's not painful or painful, but.... "

... yes. Speaking of which, we were left wrapped around our tails. It's time for me to let go. [M]

"If you want to know why, why don't you just wrap it around me?" I don't have anything to wrap it around with..... "

"If so, I think it's okay to just roll it up, but how about that, Mr. Rugulos?"

When we called out, Mr. Rugulos made a face like "What are you talking about?"

"Eh, so you want to roll me up?" I'm good, right? "

"If that's the case, so am I."

When Faye and Princess Rage also ran as candidates for the wounded role...... Mr. Rugulos sighed deeply and released his tail.

And.

"... let's accept the deal"

That's what Mr. Ruggieros said, recommending the chair opposite us.

"Of course, I'm not going to buy it at a fair price." I want to fill in the conditions. Let's negotiate. "

... apparently, he's willing to betray you, Mr. Agent, for a bit.
