A few days after that incident.
Raccoon in front of me for some reason...... no, Marquis Leckbari is sitting.
It was a room connected from the Demon King's office that was called in.
It was the demon king who called it in.
I wonder why...... I don't think there's a normal development waiting for 'cause I want to talk to you' etc.
You deserve it even if the raccoon that sticks to many is somewhat shriveled until you decide to postpone your retirement.
And to that extent, it's my view that raccoons can't even reflect on their actions.
……
……
I wonder if I can run, this situation.
"Hmm, I'm not so alert."
"No, self-defense is important because it's weak."
"Weak..."
"Something? Oh, not really."
…… The stuffed animal in its arms. "
"Is this it? Janet, the Kingsguard knight, gave it to me earlier. If we don't get our hands on the real thing, it's not gonna be a sin."
……
……
"I'm sorry"
"Oh, that's the first time I've heard an apology."
After all, the raccoon stuffed animal in my arm seemed to work great.
... Yeah, I don't know why, but I have a rope wrapped around my neck and my neck is oddly thin.
Whoever saw it said, 'You strangled him, didn't you?' You just think, this.
Well, I'll untie the rope later and repack the cotton. Pity about the boulder.
I don't know, Marquis Leckbari.
From the point of view of the Kingsguard knights, your methods were forceful.
Why don't you force me to pull myself out once I fall under the category of the common man?
Even though it is relatively friendly with the knight, it is quite a temperature difference from the nobility, for the majority of nobility my perception would be 'usable or not'.
That perception is correct in a sense, beyond being subjected to hindsight. That's why I'm saying I'm under the command of the Demon King.
And I can live my current swallowing life because of the Demon King's refuge and the presence of Zebrast.
As Marquis Leckbari, you wanted to use me as a pawn in the country as well... I guess that was the real deal.
Because the Demon King will never put it on the table if it stays that way. I'm a good guardian of whatever you say, Demon King.
Of course, the Marquis of Leckbari didn't do as well as he did.
"I'd rather you understand than apologize. I will not be the pawn of the kings of demons."
"Well, why? I'm sure he's under national scrutiny."
"Yeah. That's the same with Zebrast. And as long as Zebrast is on my personal side, he won't be an Irfena pawn."
It's impossible to position someone with a deep connection to another country at the core of the country.
If I swear allegiance to Ilfena, it'll look like a comforting connection, but I don't feel like it at the moment.
Finally, if Rudolph and the others are in trouble, I will naturally take sides. For better or worse, it is a halfway position, because 'you can be a collaborator of either, and you will not be incorporated into the core of the country'.
Besides, I'm showing a king named Rudolph as a personal connection for this one.
He said that if we did this, the danger of taking it into the country would be more important.
Note that on the contrary, I do not have any power in Irfena, so there is no problem. Rudolph and the others know that what the Demon King and the two Guardians take precedence over is the country.
Marquis Leckbari sighed with great regret when he said so in his personal view.
Naturally, I'm not going to be under any dumb subordination that I don't understand that the Demon King is absolutely sheltering me!
We will spare no effort if we are to maintain a peaceful life.
Whoever gets in the way shouldn't complain about being treated like that. Likeness is important.
"Oh boy... I thought I could get a good young man."
"I refuse. Raise the people who are here today."
"... Marquis Leckbari, is that enough? I set the scene because you said you wanted to talk to Mizuki, but if you want to push it any further, I'll force you to cut it up. There will be protests from Lord Rudolph."
Speaking of which, you raided Rudolph.
I forgot because I enjoyed myself immensely, but is this also a means of silencing the Marquis of Leckbari or below Irfena solicitation group?
It helps in unexpected places, did the Chancellor anticipate this far?
After all, the people in the heart of the country and me with the burning blade have different statuses. You'll never win.
"Well, how about a poor old man's favor?
"Which one is it? I think there's a raccoon somewhat shriveled."
"... do you mean" raccoon "?
"Oh, you think you're a raccoon."
Shall I call you Raccoon in the future! and continued with a smile, Marquis Leckbari drew his face.
I don't like it, Master Raccoon. I think I understood my personality somewhat at at the night club.
Instead of the Demon King, Al or Klaus, who refrained behind his back, is watching and pretending not to see... guess what feelings we have.
Read the air if you want to say more. Intertwined rhetoric should prevail in this setting.
"So, what do you want to say after all?
"They caught you because you make jokes about 'weakness'..."
"You don't seem to be talking to me, so excuse me! I sincerely hope I never see you again!
"Become!"
"Please wait!
When I smile and take my seat, Marquis Leckbari and the deacon who had refrained from doing so rush to stop.
Shit! Can't you just leave?
It's obvious, 'Weak?' I have no angry personality in my remarks.... No, I'm actually weaker than a knight because it's only as durable as ordinary people.
Nobility also seems to learn swordsmanship as a hobby, so I am less than that of the common people. Humans in the world accustomed to convenience are clearly inferior in physical terms.
"Ma... Wait, wait, wait! Apologize! Just listen to me!
"If you listen to me, you promise me that you won't be taken in by the country and that you won't be forced to associate with me, okay? Demon King, will you be a witness?
"Of course. I have proof, so no problem."
The Demon King also smiles and looks back at Klaus. Do you mean that snorts are recorded with demonic props?
Marquis Leckbari, by contrast, becomes a bitter face. You're an unpunished raccoon, come on, learn less.
"Ha... If it's just one thing, it's really hard to do when His Royal Highness Elshon has it all."
"It's a gift of education. Anyway, I'm learning that suspecting, assuming everything, don't be taken for granted, leads to the greatest self-defense... in experiential learning."
"Oh...... I bet you do get that"
"Instead of wearing it, if you make a mistake, you're dead!
Especially Zebrast. Rudolph and the others survived in an environment where they ran out of bees.
It wasn't a matter of competing for a pet, it was a matter of life, and for that matter I didn't do anything to retaliate.
There is a strong sense of fellowship because together we have won the critical situation of life biased. Wonderful, battlefield bond.
When I said... etc, the butler looked at me with pity. Rarely does the raccoon have a similar look.
Exactly. They have places where they think they suddenly throw ordinary people into those places.
You don't need pity. You are the culprit of the Demon King's educational policy in the first place!?
"Oh man, let's swallow that condition. Well, I'm sure you'll get on with it."
"Heh? Is it Demon King or Rudolph related"
…… No way. Marquis Leckbari! I thought you said no to that story. You don't have to steam back!
Is that it? Rarely is the demon king absurd his voice...... Al, don't block his ears!
Hmm? You got something in mind? I've never seen that before, you know.
Do you want to take Al's hand off and listen to him for now?
"Uh, yes, yes. Shut up because there is also a promise to just listen. Al, I don't have ear plugs!
"Mizuki, leave the room."
"The Demon King?
"It's none of your business. You don't have to ask!
"That's the parent cat. You can't imitate a kitten in danger."
Really rare. What's a parent cat and a kitten, by the way? Although the Demon King is the parent cat in the situation and I look like a kitten.
Explain it before you see it with a smiling face, Marquis Leckbari.
"I thought you taught people who have the technique of preventing beforehand but prioritize emotions and don't take action would be stupid?
"Isn't that what you can do with a pawn in your hand? It's not about sacrificing the irrelevant."
"Can you say the same thing about royalty?
"You can tell, right? Where are we going to push the outsiders to be safe?"
……
I don't know what that means. Sounds like he wants me to do 'something' for now, but he's got a guardian demon king poking at him from before.
Al and Klaus don't seem to be willing to share the same opinion with the Demon King either.
Ignore the party, don't you miss me?
"I can't talk about it.... Mizuki, what if something happens to Irfena and Zebrast later?
"If there is a villain, I will. If we know what's causing the disaster, we'll get rid of it."
"Marquis Leckbari!
"This foolish disciple, shut up!... what if you could get rid of that? It's dangerous enough to put your life in danger."
"It depends on the situation. If the country should do what it has to do, if it can only be overshadowed by me, will it act?"
"What's that standard?
"Country assessment and impact on surroundings. No matter how many results I get, I'm told it depended on the individual, and if I'm going to lose the reputation of the country, I shouldn't move."
Marquis Leckbari seems very satisfied with me answering without precipitation. On the contrary, the Demon King looks grumpy.
Why is it that you don't seem to be wrong?
"Okay, let's talk. O otherworldly man, will you deliver the princess and maid of a kingdom to their native land?
"What?"
What's that? You can do it as normal as a return home, right?
"As a matter of fact, the king prince of that country has had a drowning pet princess for a long time before he got married... and he still has that pet princess in public. Princess Wang hasn't been seen since the wedding."
"Couldn't you be that sweet princess?
"In addition to being a Viscount, you seem like a waster. He said the king and his neighbors wouldn't allow it."
"You don't deserve a future queen, do you?
"Perhaps that's why I wasn't forgiven. I don't think a woman who would oppress the treasury would do anything to the people."
Prince in love with a wasted woman Hey... aren't you after property? That.
If you say it's love, you'll think of living discreetly and setting up a princess king, normal.
Besides, I don't know about the prince. Drop your identity if you want to live that far in love, you won't be a decent king anyway.
"Uhm, Noon thinks so too"
"Were you in your voice? At last, if you say so, it's normal to embarrass the thought circuits that are drunk on themselves when they're good old enough to 'stand up to each other and stand healthy amid the opposites around them'. Especially since I know Alisa and the others."
Alisa sent me a letter of apology and ex-post report after that. Well understood. She is only good and very decent.
"I'm working on my chores because I'm planning on going back to Ed's wife again in a year," she said with a lovely wife, so I sent her a simple recipe for cooking along with a reply... and she was very popular with her husband (scheduled).
You may now have a friendly relationship as a cooking instructor and friend. They're going to make a home garden in the future. That kid just didn't fit the aristocracy after all.
A combination of different worlds and nobles can see reality, how about this behavior in educated royalty and nobility?
"Oh! That's exactly right, isn't it? Because he who blames them will fly far away."
"Why leave such a worthless creature alone in the wild? Don't you have any information for the king who's against it?
"Inheritance will prevail in that country over the sons born of the righteous queen. It can't be easy, because it's certain that even the queen who will be admired by the people will have an impact. As for the information... you say?
"To?"
"Even the nobles grabbed your information. You said you were in the same country. In addition to the fact that everything in the rear palace is an enemy, Prince Wang's allies are consolidating their surroundings. Besides, the rear palace is only allowed to have the king and the king prince... but it's basically non-interference."
"Even those who have received the orders of kings and kings, are they?
"Mm-hmm. Because it is possible to possess a child other than the Lord. Using it, Prince Wang and the nobles around him are abusing the princess who came to marry them."
In other words, because the information is thoroughly regulated and cannot be investigated by force, we can't move to action even if we are suspicious?
You can't do unilateral reprimands without proof, even a king.
Are the aristocrats around you treating you as comforting allies for a sad drunk prince...... you normally look like a jerk, the future of the country.
By the way.
"I'm sorry to hear about the country, Princess Wang, but isn't that something I can do?
"No? In a few moments, the damage will definitely come."
"Why?"
Marquis Leckbari smiled very well at me tilting his neck - blue-faced on my forehead.
I made a problem statement.
"There is a princess in Ilfena who is now one year old. Zebrast had a princess and a young man close to the Crest family!
……
I could read it. Yeah, even I can understand when they say that much.
The Demon King exhales and Al and Klaus are slightly distorted in the face.
…… So if the not-so-busy princess had a baby, she'd want to marry Irfena and Zebrast, right?
"Exactly! If you give birth to a prince, you'll definitely be the Queen of the Kingdoms, and in the sense that you'll get the back shield of my son, Ilfena or Zebrast will be your target."
"No, when the prince becomes king, the country is going to lean. Please forgive me for falling together."
"Instead of falling together, we can't set the stage, can we? Whatever you do, you're not the one who despises the king despite his marriage."
"Is that the princess who welcomed you out of that way?!?
"That's right. Because I know the rumors of the princess, I have nothing to say to her."
That sucks, huh? If you think about it normally and treat it like that, you're gonna come protesting?
Worst case scenario, I wonder if they might declare war!?
"The kings didn't want to admit the princess."
"By the way, are you going to put the princesses back in their home country and make it easier?
It's not up to you.
"Yes?"
Why?
"If you bring the two back safely with evidence, you get a report. Ilfena and Zebrast can intervene. If that were made public, the criticism would be concentrated. Turns out we can take everything in the right direction... and vice versa, we can't intervene until then."
Thank you for the explanation, Demon King... you are very important.
'If I get to the goal safely,' the princess's report from her home country will allow the country to protest knowing what's going on '.
"Our otherworlds are missing, so we're searching (pre-construction absent)"
"Reports from other countries show that you were helping the princess escape (I've never known that before!
"There seems to be evidence as well as the testimony of the princess. Prince Wang, what are you doing?
"Edge talk? Make a joke! I don't know a country that would treat a royal princess like that. '
Would this be the case in brief? So this is the first time Irfena and Zebrast have been able to intervene on this issue since my report.
Something that the King Prince's side will definitely win if it's just the country concerned. Marriage is convinced by each other's nations, and the princess's home country, which knows nothing since her daughter-in-law, cannot be denied if the facts are fabricated. Naturally, he'll be brought back and there won't be any chance of his next escape.
Do you mean to take sides with the princess in view of good intentions and the interests of her country? Certainly the least damage.
The problem is that the Prince Wang side will also be desperate. Worst case scenario, every princess is erased.
"Well, what do we do?
What are we really going to do? I guess after I hear a little more about it for now.
