In the past, this world was at risk of being destroyed by the Demon King.
Demons were spreading, people's hearts were colored with fear and despair, and darkness was covering the world.
But that's a story hundreds of years old. The demon has disappeared due to the seal of the Demon King, and no one survived the chaotic era. The Demon King is becoming a fairy tale.
As one of the means of fighting monsters, magic has lost its significance and is gradually being lost, the demon king has been forgotten by the people.
But the Demon King has not disappeared.
Shadow in light, death in life, and two sides of the same coin. It is not separable, and it cannot be realized by one.
The same is true for human hearts. Hate in love, despair in hope, nestle with equal power and potential.
As long as the wishes of the people exist, the Demon King will not disappear completely.
It still sleeps quietly in one of the many temples in the Kingdom of Nebel.
If this world follows the same path as games, it will be shaken by the not-so-distant future.
In the game, the person most closely involved in the resurrection of the Demon King is Priest Mikhail von Diebold.
He is not a born devil.
Mikhail is an ordinary boy born to the second son of the Viscount.
Mikhail, who lived as a son of a noble, was determined to abandon his position and continue on his way to serving God.
Became the priest of the Great Temple in the Royal City.
If peace continued, Mikhail would have had a calm life, praying to God, without any connection to the Demon King, but when he was thirteen, Nebel's nation began to be desolated.
The war between the neighboring country, Vint, and the Kingdom of Skelz has begun, and Nebel, who has been in an alliance with Vint, is gradually involved in the battle. The struggle did not subside over the years, involving five countries in the western half of the continent, appearing to be a mire.
The following year, the country's strength was exhausted due to the prolonged war, and the neighboring country, Raptor Kingdom located in the northeast invaded the Nebel Kingdom. A new war has begun.
In addition, the disease starts to spread from the south in Nebel.
Mikhail, a kind boy, was hurt by the misery of the people in the tragic state of the country.
I jump out of the Great Temple and decide to travel around the country to see if I can do anything, even if I have no special power.
Mikhail continued walking in the rough country, caring for the injured and sick, helping the children and praying for the dead.
And we arrived at a remote village near the battlefield.
A light rain began to fall from the mouth of the evening, but many of the villagers had escaped, there were no lodgings, and he spent the night in a nearby temple.
Find a place in the old, crumbled temple that can survive the rain.
Mikhail goes to the back and finds a hidden door by accident. There is one altar in the small room. And what is being celebrated is one fist-sized stone.
Thought weird, he decided to rest in the corner of the room only for one night.
But that night, you get involved in a fight and the old temple is destroyed.
Mikhail was buried under rubble and died.
And the stone of the altar is destroyed at the same time, and the sealed Demon King will transfer to the body of Mikhail and fulfill the resurrection.
… With the above in mind, I think you will be able to understand the many things I need to do in the future and the size of the gap between the game and the current situation.
To be honest, I can't organize my mind. I want to write it all out on paper and have a meeting with everyone. Well, both are impossible.
It is too risky to leave it as a document, and Leonhard, the only consultant, is too busy to hold a meeting.
Speaking of what I can do, organizing one by one in my head.
To be honest, it's already over capacity ...
Looking away from the window with a distant eye, seemingly escape. The reason why I feel frustrated by the beautiful and clear blue sky is that my heart is dirty.
“…………”
Exhale, and exhale for a long time.
He hit his cheek twice and stood.
"Rosemary-sama, which way?"
"Library"
It is necessary to find necessary documents for the time being.
Briefly, I walked to my destination. With a troublesome escort knight who comes with a natural face.
"Hmm ..."
I grumbled small while looking over the bookshelf in a large library that was not popular.
Where to start?
I have three main goals.
First, avoid war. The second is to prevent the spread of the disease. The last is to stop the resurrection of the Demon King.
These seem to be separate issues, but they are all connected.
In order to proceed while checking, is it a map first?
Katsun, another footstep that naturally follows the stepping footstep.
I killed my sigh that was almost spilling and looked back. He looked up at a handsome face that was two heads higher than me, and opened his mouth.
"Klaus. You are waiting at the entrance."
"Why? I'm your escort. You can't do your job without it."
No no no.
I'm just saying it, of course, but I haven't seen any other escorts like you. There's even privacy for escorts, right?
I don't often become a nervous nervous person.
"You're saying at the entrance. I'll call you as soon as I have something."
"I can't accept it."
"..."
…… This bastard.
I felt anger and a sense of danger at the man who could say NO without any hesitation for a moment.
I am almost 11 years old. It is about to enter the difficult age of the general public. It may be unpleasant to be stuck on a man's escort all the time.
In addition, anyway, if I'm over 20 years old, isn't Princess Shinko intolerable to this sense of distance?
In the future, Klaus will be the escort of Mikohime, not me.
Aside from the in-game Klaus, which would have been a gentleman if you didn't switch it on, it would be too apologizing to give the Klaus today.
For me in the future and also for Mikohime in the future.
This man must remember “wait” ...!
"... Klaus"
"Yes"
"Kneeling"
"!……Understood"
Speaking in a low voice, Klaus gasped for a moment.
However, when you recover your calmness immediately, you break your knees with lean movement. My gaze was slightly below me.
Just looking at the dignity as you look up, there is no other purpose.
But Claus is flushing his cheeks, nervously.
Even if you are not scared, I do not intend to do physical training.
"I told you that your Lord is His Majesty, but that doesn't mean you can ignore my words."
"I'm never like that ..."
"Silently listen"
"Hah"
"If I make an unreasonable order, I can refuse, regardless of my status. But, conversely, it means to obey, unless you are absolutely convinced."
Choose intentionally intimidating words.
I can't say I don't want to order. If you think about it in the future, it is absolutely unpleasant.
I have something to do. With that in mind, this inconvenience should be resolved now.
"From now on, you, the male escort, will not always be with you, my princess .... No, there will be many unreasonable scenes. What will you do at that time? If it's not a distance, do you give up? "
"No"
Claus immediately denied.
"It's absolutely impossible to give up protecting you. I swear by my pride as a knight and this life."
The expression is tightened, and a dignified voice is declared.
Like a knight in a girl's longing story, I drew in a dignified and beautiful way.
You don't want to go that far.
"... If you are away, learn how to protect."
He scolds the expression muscles that are about to get cramped and manages to keep his expressionless. I tried to look as cool as possible.
"Rather than just staring at me, try to focus on trivial discomfort, the movements of the people around you, words, abnormalities, and various things. Take the best action ... you can do it. "
And I hope that my privacy will be maintained.
"Roses Mary-sama ..."
Klaus called my name to exhale hot.
The palm pressed against the heart is grasped as if to suppress strong emotions. The dark green eyes that looked up at me were narrowed sharply.
“…………”
The moment you see your eyes.
A cold thing falls down my back.
Klaus hung his head in the sight of me being upset by the disturbing air.
"On your will"
The words I told were very simple.
But for some reason the word sounds very heavy to my ears.
I have a bad feeling. Very.
There is a word that he cuts meat and cuts bones, but he doesn't feel like he has done the opposite. It seems as if he had destroyed what he had been protecting to solve the problem at hand.
But you can't go back.
"... So Claus, you'll be waiting here."
"Understood"
He had a headache with a man who was very happy to understand, but I started looking for a book.
