As usual this morning is work, this afternoon is training... but training cuts up a little early and we eat dinner outside!
"Meg, are you ready?
"Mr. Kay! It's over -!
Yes, I promised when I went to the human continent, it's a date with Mr. Kay. You've been too busy to take up time, haven't you? Kay is busy with his work and Ronnie's special training too!
That's why I was in the shower, sweating, dressed in fashion and meeting you in the hall. A simple blue piece with a slightly stretched design and stylish gold buttons. I have a fuwan and white stall from the top over my shoulder. I like that it's fastened with the same gold brooch!
The hairstyle was halved up with this butterfly valletta.
"Hmm, always cute, but fashionable Meg is cute for a time. I'm gonna fall in love with you."
"Oh, hey, thanks..."
And Mr. Kay, I won't forget to praise you for killing me. It's the way it always is, but this is all I'm not used to. And, I can illuminate!
"Well, let's go"
"Is that it? What about Mr. Gill?
Sure, I think I was talking about you following me as an escort... I thought so and tilted my neck, and Mr. Kay gently held my lips with his index finger. Whoo!?
"You're a Ikenai kid to care about other people even though you're going on a date. Mm-hmm, but I'm fine. I'm asking Girnandio to escort me in the shadows. So don't come out, okay? It's gonna cost you a penalty, right?
It's a leak in colour! Ochiso-sama!! The last two words probably told Mr. Gill lurking in the shadows. It seems like it will come out because I don't mind paying the penalty if I have to. Mr. Gill is so overprotective! I think I got extra worried from that case, huh?
But now that I somehow know where I am, I'm relatively free to act. Gil also has improved her parental skills... but her worries have gotten worse, she said. That's annoying!
"Sa, ma'am. Give me your hand."
"Wow, thanks, Mr. Kay!
Well, now enjoy your date with Mr. Kay! You treat me like a princess, so I get a crush on you. Princess Meg is coming! Are you feeling too well? Huh.
Mr. Kay walks slowly at a stride that suits me. That's the perfect escort. Then he gave me a small bouquet of light pink flowers at the flower shop along the way and went straight to the stylish store on the open terrace by facepath. Something's so amazing already.
"Welcome, Master Kay, Master Meg. Should the flowers be decorated in a vase during your meal?
"Hmm, that's a very nice suggestion. I'd love to."
"Oh, please...!
In contrast to Mr. Natural Kay, I'm gonna back off. I'm gonna bite you. No, no, no. Me. 'Cause you don't have a choice, do you? You know what?
"Hehe, adorable customer. Please, relax. I'll carry the food right away. It's delicious."
"Wow, yes! Looking forward to it!
Nice shopkeeper trying to break the tension! But I bit him again. Besides, it's nice to be able to say that your restaurant's food is confident and delicious. Oh, and eat a lot.
A bouquet of flowers lived in a beautiful glass vase adorns the center of the table and looks delicious next. Aperitif, I was juice though.
Every time it's brought in, it's a glowing amber, tongue drumming on a clear soup, or a colorful salad. The main meat was cut from the beginning to make mine easier to eat, so thank you for your care. Happy.
"What does Meg want to do in the future, or think about it?
And have that conversation between meals.
In the future, well... I'm honest that we're still too far ahead to think about it properly. But that's not a good place, is it? Both Richt and Ronnie are working hard for their future goals, but I remain a cosmic hangover.
"Somehow, I thought Meg might be a little, yeah, pretty upset."
"What? Was it that easy to understand..."
"Hmm, I knew you were worried, huh?
"Ugh."
It is this that falls to speak. But is that it? I thought you didn't put it in your attitude, but I guess it was sweet.
"Don't think everyone who thinks they love Meg must have noticed."
Ugh, yeah. But I realized it and nobody asked me. I might have worried...... so this is how Kay is listening to me? Surely Mr. Kay seems to be good at this sort of thing. Even for me, it's easy to talk to.
"If it's okay with me, I'll ask, okay? And I'm sure Girnandio heard it somewhere."
Kusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. That's right, even Mr. Gill worries me. Yeah, let's talk about it properly.
"Oh, you know...? I'm not sure..."
I started talking to potpourri. Things that don't pin when they say the next demon king. That I don't feel it when they tell me I'm going to be strong any day. Being in a hurry to stick around. To live longer than anyone and let everyone...... one day, be left behind.
It makes me sad after a long time, even though all of them are heavy on my heart and I don't want to think about them because they are still ahead of me.
"Besides, I, really..."
"? The truth is?
Just before I tell you the truth, I cage my mouth. Because I don't think this is something I should be saying. Then Mr. Kay, who sensed something, gently took my hands with both hands.
"It's just about here, Meg. Me and Girnandio are the only ones listening to this story. Right?"
That means I won't tell anyone else. Kindness pleases me, slight vision seeps in. I opened my mouth slowly.
"Ho, the truth is... to the Demon King, I don't want to be..."
I've always wanted to be in Ortus. I want to be Ortus' Meg.
But from the bloodstream, I've made up my mind that I'm going to be the Demon King. This is all I can't change. Right now, any strong man in the demon kingdom can't, and he's training at Demon King Castle, not even Richter with special powers from Japan. In the first place, human Richter is the earliest breakup of my loved ones to come.
It's not a heavy responsibility. I'm not sure. It's all just an excuse, and I just don't want to be.
I like the people of the demonic kingdom. I also want to protect it. But I'm not. I don't think so. I don't know if I can say it well.
"Yeah. Well said, Meg. It's not what you want to do. The future is kind of painful, isn't it? It's not that I don't like it, I know it. I know, I'm fine."
But I couldn't stop the hollow, flowing tears before Kay, who properly guessed how I felt and spoke kind words to me. Ugh, I have a good time.
"That's okay, Meg. I'm sorry, but, yeah, maybe it's just a problem that no one can solve... so I need time to be honest and sometimes cry."
So I want you to cry like this again in front of me and Girnandio. Mr. Kay left me those words and kept stroking my head until I settled down. From the shadow at my feet, I felt kind of warm, and I was so happy, I felt like I couldn't stop.
