71 Mizuki Anxiety

After the battle with Titania, when Shuiming returned to the city of Imperial City, it was already full of daylight.

Immediately after returning, Shuiming, who is currently set to "while it is not open", leaves the room after a job and heads to the living room.

And on his way, Trinity was forgiving one person, and when he told him that he was looking for a man, he was instructed to go outside the house.

Open the door and go outside. Then look up at the square starry sky in the valley between the building and the building, and look back. Eventually, Shuiming found a reason to go outside.

"Hello, Mizuki. What are you doing here?

"Yeah, I just wanted to hit the wind at night by myself"

Outside, there was a figure of Mizuki sitting on a chair she had set up and looking up at the moon in the same way.

To her, Mizumi gasps the handrails she was carrying and takes out the errands.

"Look, your shoes"

"Why does Mizumin-kun have my shoes?

"Well, smell it..."

"Sumiaki-kun, that's a pervert..."

Mizuki draws her upper body in disillusionment at the brightness of the shoe smell.

"It's a joke. A joke. I don't know... don't get told that a lot today. Uh, and that's brand new, so I'm not gonna stink, okay?

"Is that it? Oh, really. You bought a new one?

"Sort of. Try it on first."

Sitting in the chair next to you, your gaze goes to the square starry sky. When he recommends the shoes he took out to hang around, Mizuki starts wearing them.

"Is that it? Something..."

Wear it, check the comfort of the shoes and notice, Mizuki starts flying pimply on the spot. After ascertaining the difference between a pair of shoes, she turned her surprised face to Shuiming.

"I bought a new one, I adjusted it."

"See? Was Mizumin-kun's house a shoe shop?

"Not at all. I'm a little clever with my fingertips and... well, I used the magic you taught me. I think you're getting a lot more comfortable, huh?

Shuiming makes a naughty grin. The shoes I just removed were treated in a magic study room that was left open earlier. We heard the day before that the shoe was broken and difficult, so we hurried to use magic to improve comfort and turn the shoe itself into something sturdy.

Then Mizuki slaps his hands as impressed.

"Wow! Mizumin-kun, I can already use my magic so much!

"So much, aren't you able to do a lot of things?

"Because I remember prioritizing magic to help those who fight, not that kind of clever magic... But Mizumino-kun doesn't."

"Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

Mizuki jokes and says, Mizuki sits back in her chair to create a soft grin like hers.

"It sounds like Mizumin-kun. Oh, thanks for this."

Mizumi replies "oops" to thank Mizuki and raises her hand gently. This will make her journey somewhat easier.

"... you know, Sumiaki-kun"

Second, Mizuki calls out with a look that doesn't float anywhere. What she's staring at is a place with nothing in the corner of the alley. Shuiming, who perceived that the atmosphere had changed, asks back, however, as usual.

"What?

"Mizumin-kun has fought demons and demons, there is already, isn't there?

"Oh."

"Weren't you scared then?

"Shoben, I'm chipped."

When Shuiming came to rest, Mizuki stood up.

"Uh-huh! Already... if it's only Mizuki, it's just a lie. I don't care if Mr. Yakuza puts a pistol on you. What kind of mouth would someone say that?

"What. You still remembered."

"It's obvious. 'Cause that's a memory of when you were in the other world and you were in the most danger, right?

Are you sure? Previously, when Mizuki was suffering from severe medium and second illness, there was one commotion when she picked up a weapon dropped by a dangerous office related person and ended up with Trinity to help. Though it is a story of unwittingly supporting the assault of the righteous man and the bloodthirsty Trinity Two with witchcraft.

"If you're some kind of Mizuki, you seem fine with the demon in front of you. Something like this, you know, for a long time, right? Right?"

"Well..."

An ambiguous reply. But it can also be said to have been targeted.

Even when I was first heard by Mizuki, I was immature as a magician enough to be noticed by such an atmosphere. Because of that, I got to know her.

If I noticed, the look on Rui Tree's face was going to be terribly serious.

"But, you know, I was scared. I did the same thing when I was a normal demon, but before the stronger demons, I couldn't move."

"The other guy was a demon general, wasn't he? Well, I guess I'll have no choice."

It's not something I can do, such as confront that Rajas opponent with a girl who was a regular student until a while ago. Even myself, with the experience of the battle, has gone awry at first.

But Mizuki shook her head and wouldn't admit it. It seemed impossible to accept the word "indulgence".

"It was a little more, a little more. If I could have used my magic there, maybe the fight would have been over soon. In the end, Triji-kun defeated him..."

"That's selfish talk. Because Mizuki stood up to the Demon General, didn't he? That's enough."

"But when it was over, he was pissed off."

"They might have pissed me off then, but they all think you're amazing in their hearts."

"… yes, I guess"

"Because. That's why I don't care."

Laughing at Mizuki's troubles that she didn't have to have, she looked up at the stars and

"Shui Ming-kun. Courage, what is it?

"Heh...? Ah! Itatata tata tata..."

"Already! I'm asking you seriously!?

"Oh, my God, I was wondering if that happened again..."

"That's not true. ⁉ Already... This is a fantastic world, a world that really needs courage, so you should have asked."

"... that's fine. I don't know, what are you gonna do with that? Why don't you ask the guy who's going to make the main character of Cartoon Weekly? Mostly Trinity or Trinity."

"I'm in the mood to ask Mizuki today. Mizumin-kun, you've been in a lot of danger since you got here, haven't you? That's why Mizuki would know."

"That's hard to say. You are. I mean, mine's just a man's will, isn't it?

"What's that?

"A woman doesn't know what a man means."

"Mm-hmm. Why do you just give back mean answers like that?

Rooted in swollen shrubs, Shuiming sighs, ha. And turn to her,

"You, you want courage?

"Yeah. Yeah."

"It's not like you can easily wear something like that"

"So how do you get it?

I don't know. I don't know.

When said so cold, Mizuki drops her shoulders and silences herself. Besides, Shuiming got a bad bat and exhaled. And out of the way,

"I've heard of it. If you say so in the wind, it's about burning the flames of your heart."

"Then you have two diseases in the fever system. I have Cool Eye Disease."

"What's that? Classifieds."

"That's right. Remember me properly because I'm going to take the test, right? Because Mizumin-kun and I are opposite poles."

"It's me, not Trinity..."

Mizuki gets good at "Phew Phew," and soon becomes another sunken look, as she did earlier. As usual, she was a busy girl with facial changes.

The way I came up with it, it doesn't change. I guess that's something she's been thinking about on her way to Imperial City.

"Mizuki, I don't know much about courage either. But people have a lot of thoughts. If that thought was so big that I couldn't beat what I'd stand for, I'd think I'd be able to step forward naturally."

But I don't have it.

"You said you'd help Trinity in the castle, didn't you? Even when I faced Rajas, I should have popped up because I had that thought. You're not?

"It's..."

"It's okay. You have the courage, too. Something invisible may be disturbing because I don't know where it is. But there are always times when everyone has to eat their teeth out about once in their lives. I'm sure by then, you'll be able to step forward with nature."

Then Mizuki looked strange,

"... rule of thumb?

"My father died because it was too late."

"Huh?"

"It's a lie. I thought you said he died in a car accident. It's a joke."

"It's too black..."

pounding the shoulders of the fallen Mizuki, telling Mizumi to feel safe.

"Don't think so. If I could just stand up to that monster with my thoughts, I'd be ready to step out."

When Shuiming said so, she leaned down to bite off the words sent. And again, when I lifted my head, the look that was depressing was a little more sunny than earlier.

"Yeah. Thanks. Maybe a little easier."

To such a rui shu, Shuiming turns his oblique smile, as usual.

... while the two of you talk like that, peek upstairs by the window? There were four of them.

Hold Shuiming and Mizuki under your eyes, Titania tells Trinity.

"You're more dependent on Swimey than I thought."

"Mizumi is my first friend for Mizuki. It's a little special. Honestly, I think it makes me jealous that every time I do something I'm counting on you."

That's what Trinity says and makes a lonely smile that can't be relied on much for these things. Seeing him like that, Fermenia made the look she knew,

"... I see. He doesn't want to show weakness to people who like it."

"Huh? Doctor, who do you mean, who do you like?

It is deaf. No, am I right in saying I'm poorly guessed than I am in saying I have bad ears? The three of them, Teatania, Fermenia and Refile, will have expressions such as suffering from understanding.

"No, let's see from the context, Lord Reggie..."

"So is Suimei, but so is Reggie..."

Following Fermenian shuddering voices, Lefir, who was next door, similarly shuddering. Trinity, on the other hand, didn't know what it was about, just looked strange and tilted her neck.

As four people peer through the window like that, there is a sound of doors opening properly from the front door.

It was Liliana who opened the door and went outside.

"Ahhh... sooo meh, are you there?

In her sleeping clothes, Violet's hair was not the usual twin tail, but lowered and flushed.

He holds a pillow, rubs his sleepy eyes, and tones flutter. My feet are a little unbundled. Sleep down, have you come out?

Shuiming, who noticed her, asks.

"What's up, Liliana?

"I missed you."

"What happened to Refi and Menia?

When Shuiming asks, Liliana shakes her head.

"Neither of you are here."

"No...?

Hearing Liliana's words, Shuiming is taken by surprise. I didn't know you weren't here. There's only one way in and out of here, so there's no way you're not in the house.

So I realized, and Mizumi looked up, and I saw a moving shadow at the window.

"I see..."

Apparently, through the window, he was spying on this one. I sigh and get up from the chair when I see that I can pull in the head I was putting out of each of them.

Let's go back.

When Shuiming said so and stood up, Liliana gave a loud yawn and snorted at her relaxed.

"Mizumino-kun, you miss me."

"Hmm, I hope so"

"If that's the case, then it's true... Mizumin-kun really says something like that between you and someone..."

Talking about it, the three of them went back into the house.
