I was taken to Bethenburg after that and I was in a steam bath.
In the previous world I put my body in hot water, so it was a little fresh to be honest.
But this is tight inside. Is that about the limit?
Bettenburg, by contrast, is staring at me smiling cooler.
"Well, Mr. Lazareth. I have one question for you."
"What is it?
"I guess you're not from this world, are you?
... I suddenly had no words.
When the hell was I being nursed?
"... I was born of my parents"
"That's not what I meant. Your consciousness does not belong to you, Lazareth, six years old. Wouldn't you?
"... Since when have you noticed?
"That's when you were asking me more about witches. Cyan is certainly a witch, but think it's odd that she didn't talk about witches at all like that. She is not weak enough to turn away from the problem"
"That's simply because you're young..."
"No, I'd rather be a little girl to teach these discrimination issues are evil. When you're young, your values will remain the same forever."
... Sure, the opinion was right.
I, too, would have prevented that catastrophe if I had looked at the issue of discrimination against demons from a very young age?
No, relationship nye.
Ano war ni, oleno will nad presence sinai.
"But you were too ignorant about witches. I'm sure this wanted to keep you away from the fact that she was being discriminated against by witches. Daimyo, to protect you."
"... So, what are you trying to say?
"I want you to let me listen. About being you."
... the existence of me?
Does that mean you want to know who I was in the previous world?
Can I answer that?
Can I trust this man?
Yamelo.
Koitsmomata, use shiyotoshitail dakeda.
"... excuse me. I don't know if I can trust you right now."
"... well, I'm not saying I can't. You can go through the silence if you don't want to."
I still can't tell you.
This sin is not made lighter by revealing it to someone.
Besides, I'm the only one who can redeem it.
as punishment for what has survived the war.
"So, what kind of magic can you use?
"... Well, it's the only magic I can use right now because of all the circumstances."
I magic towels wrapped around my hips and get harder and harder.
And once it was about iron, I stopped it and offered it to Bethenburg.
"... it"
"Yes, magic. This is all I can do now."
"I see. But the magic can also be used by people who used to be intimate, what is its application..."
Bettenburg gives me back my towel and softens it, and I start wrapping it around my arm.
And when I followed eyes like magic in it, it started to harden with me wrapped around my arm.
"So we can treat it as a weapon. Well, I can't really use it from the standpoint of magic, but you should think of it as a last resort."
"... but I have swordsmanship"
"So it's a last resort. Well, if swordsmanship makes everything go as far as it's desirable."
Bethenburg laughs softly when she says so.
Indeed, because we do not see demonic tribes in this world, or because there are few threats to humans. For that reason, the human thief saw it many times on his journey with Aruba. There will be occasions when you wave your sword.
Well, Aruba and the thief didn't go into crisis because they knew each other.
"And can I ask you a question?
"What is it?
"Do you know how to break the curse...... or something?
"... a curse? Come on, you've never heard of it. I'm sorry, I can't help you."
... If this guy doesn't know, I guess he really doesn't.
However, it may not be necessary to think too deeply because there are limited occasions to use magical powers even when they return in this world.
"Really? Then excuse me."
"Oh, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to talk to you a little more. Yes, about you, Sophia..."
Are you talking about that girl again?
Apparently, this man is hungry for porn.
But this man has forgotten.
"... sorry, I'm already at my limit"
That this place is a steam bath.
‐ ‐ ‐
I got out of the steam bath and dressed in the bedding that my maid had prepared for me, and she was leading me straight to my room.
Apparently my room is at the penetration of the third floor, opposite the first-floor flurry.
For that reason, we walked for a long time talking about brightness and no other love for the two of us.
"Dear Lazareth, how was your bath?
"It was very fresh. And Lasalles is fine. I'm staying."
"Then you don't even have to salute me. I'm just a maid of honor in this house."
The blue-haired maid laughs when she says so and dulls.
As a six-year-old, I want to use respectful language for adults, but if you don't want it, let's just say I speak normally.
"Is Mr. Bettenburg always like that?
"Yeah. It's like that. Lasalles must have had a rough time, too, huh?
"Well, it was tough..."
More than that, he was too smart to be nervous in vain.
I get the impression that his attitude knows all about me somewhere.
It even feels that way when they find out that he's already been called a wise man.
"Your husband likes to talk and is very brainy, so he doesn't think it's possible to get tired."
"Uh, so did the maid at first?
"It doesn't matter if it's Meir. Lazareth."
That's what I said Maid...... Meir named me with a smile as she turned to me.
From her point of view, I guess she doesn't have romantic feelings because she's talking to a six-year-old boy, but I'm thrilled about this even because I'm not immune to women originally.
"Well, in my case... first of all, you've been numbed"
"Huh!?
"At first I thought about it, but I said no because I thought it was bad for your wife"
"... you have a wife?
It was my first ear.
If you think you won't even show up for dinner, you won't even be in the conversation.
So I thought it was something I wasn't sure about.
She said something more unsavory about Meir, and she's sweating and obviously upset.
Well, I guess this is a topic you shouldn't touch.
"Uh. This is Lasalles' room. If you need anything, let me know."
"Ah, oh. Okay, I get it."
I shut the door quietly after dropping off Meir's hindsight like she wasn't going to hide the upset or she couldn't hide it off.
... I don't know.
Can I trust someone?
Someone other than my parents.
No Niki Matteil.
Minna, Omae Uragirno Dakara.
"... right"
That's how I shrugged, I nodded in bed, and I had a sleepless night.
