185 Parental Cat Regrets

- Irfena Erschon's office (Erschon perspective)

"... and so I say. I guess I'll just have to give up this time."

Marquis Leckbari explains pale, but it won't be his fault that the bitter things mix with that voice.

"I didn't think Carlosa's behavior would be cut off."

"If that's what you said... I think Mizuki's behavior at the time was the best from Non's point of view, right? If you hide your abilities poorly, you'll be suspicious of your position as an escort and irresistible to the chasers from Kibera."

……

Exactly. I can't argue with that. At that time, Mizuki was right in a way.

The big spider disturbance in Carlosa was totally unexpected. If this were an ordinary case - one in which people are the culprits - we would have been able to use the position of civilians and pierce indifference.

But the problem was a big spider called the giant forest guard.

This requires instant combat power, and if crusading with knights alone becomes difficult… it is impossible to say no if cooperation is requested.

It does not just include myself or an escort as one of the parties. The roads around the village are blocked in the sense of minimizing damage - the village is the bait until we muster the forces that can defeat the spider - and if it is to be done, we do not know when we will reach Corbella.

... No, in this case a danger to your life before you arrive. Because if a princess and a samurai die here, it's all over.

Moreover, we knew that the more time passed, the more the confusion in Kivera would be sedated and disadvantaged. It is also easy to predict that the 'real' chasers will be dispatched with it.

Mizuki must have acted with the safety and time of the princesses as a top priority. As a matter of reality, I couldn't have eaten a stall over there.

But who would have imagined that it would cause trouble later?

"Even though the information in the travel documents indicates that she is adopted, she is the daughter of the Knights Commander. If you were still a grown-up, you could have said," I took away my remote daughter. "

"You're acting up, Mizuki. Besides, the crusade of the Great Spider, which the knights were powerless to strike. Definitely would have been judged 'able to fight'"

"Besides, it was Lord Siegfried's assistant who was in charge. Some of Carlosa's poles are known to specialize in fighting" just ". Then the commanding tower of the Great Spider Crusade..."

"There's only Mizuki," he said. The knights know they couldn't just fight. "

It is a simple task, in a sense, if only to fight. Because all you have to do is think about defeating the enemy in front of you.

But the Great Spider couldn't defeat it alone. In addition to the performance of the weapon, the condition of 'taking it to a defensible situation' was probably essential.

It means there are limits to how many individuals are strong. Lord Keith knows that too, so the two of us often act... or it would be Lord Keith, the deputy captain, who is actually moving the troops.

I mean, brain labor. Moreover, in the case of Mizuki, it is of sufficient fighting power.

"Eliminate panning between knights and villagers while simultaneously restraining them from aristocracy, plus..."

"Sanctions on the chasers. No wonder they think you have no fear and have excellent ability to accurately determine the situation...... I'll incite the opponent to a painful counterattack from day to day."

……

……

Exhale aligned with the Marquis of Leckbari. No, the more words I exchange, the better Mizuki seems to be.

In other words, only Mizuki actually applies. This is why we can't even say no cheaply.

Let's suppose you turned a woman's knight or court magician into an asshole.

Those who handle weapons gain a lot of muscle. Those who see it will surely find out more than what has been caught before is a courtier who has never done a hard job or anything.

Then the Kingsguard knight can't do it first, and the average knight or newbie remains anxious to act alone. And with the number of killers unknown, sending them out almost without weapons is likely to make them die in vain.

In a sorcerer, if you get your throat crushed, it's over... or you're not up for a melee in the first place. It is assumed that it is in the building that the ladies are imprisoned, so there is also a limit to the magic they use.

In contrast, for Mizuki.

I can't handle weapons at all - except for the knife and the whip given to me by Clarence - so it's luxurious. Even in a racial sense, it looks powerless because it compares to its surroundings. I mean, it's actually weak.

It basically uses icing, so there's no problem that it would be a fight in the building. This includes melee fights, and is good not only at combat, but also at talking to and gathering information about the killer according to the situation.

The point is, Mizuki is the exception. That's right, Rare Beast.

"It would also be difficult to say no to the daughter of the Knights Commander...... Albert and the others take pride in their position and give top priority to their country. I don't care if you're a real child or not, you're gonna have to put mud on their faces."

"That's right... 'Albert's daughter' is also a big factor. I'm not going to lie about my sickness anymore because I'm looking like I can fight."

The whole family is Kingsguard knights. Besides, there is more to it than a position of nobility, and I can't resist that my lord, Albert, would be my daughter 'if ordered'. It is normal for parents to decide whether to marry or not, they are obliged to obey more than they are daughters.

And Albert is a man at the apex of the knight... he cannot refuse if the king commands him. I would have to order my father to do more than damage to my country.

I know your fathers like you for Mizuki. But I'm not the kind of person who prioritizes personal feelings.

Albert lays down his life as the Lord himself before he is commanded, because he knows what it feels like to be a king who must weigh his position.

Now it's not made... because Mizuki is not the right adopted daughter. My judgment awaits.

"Having said that, I'm not going to reveal that I was more of a 'magician' than I was involved in Kivela's case."

Marquis Leckbari mutters with a troubled face. I nodded too to agree with that.

Here I say, 'That was a magician. That's a good courage to try to impress the Mage,' Carlossa would withdraw her proposal for fear of buying the Mage's wrath.

Carlossa upper management, who knows the daughter-Mizuki-Demon mentor of the Knights in the first place, must have wanted to disagree.

Mizuki only favors some of Carlosa's poles, and the country doesn't care.

I knew the retaliation I later used was awaited, so I didn't think I'd use it.

You won't want to throw a new spark at Ilfena and Kivela now, because Carlosa and I were delighted that Kivela had weakened.

I can't tell that to the person who suggested it. It has to be the reality that "it was the adopted daughter of the Knightly Commander who helped exorcise the Great Spider," but it is a very difficult position that if you force it, you could buy the wrath of the Wizard.

I sympathized with this, too. The assistant prime minister was sent to explain the situation and to Mizuki. Sacrifice, in a way.

…… I don't think it's worth it, do you?

"Oh, yeah"

Argent smiled bitterly like he'd given up, and Klaus opened his mouth for the first time with some distant eye. That gaze is very raw and warm.

They didn't pinch their mouths because me and Marquis Leckbari are having a conversation, but I guess they couldn't say anything more. Because they are in the position of knights.

…… What are you talking about?

"You know, no matter what you say now... it's no different if you're a magician or an adopted daughter of Lord Albert"

See...... and some of the reports that Argent pointed to, there. One sentence: 'She has named Her Highness Elshon's subordination…'.

"He's named himself Elle's subordinate. Now there's no such thing as' incompetence '."

"That's what you're saying after you've shown enough ability, right? Whoever asks," I made him the adopted daughter of a knight captain to give him an identity to a competent subordinate. "

"Lord Albert is a countess, so I think he's in a reasonable position as Elle's subordination. Marquises and dukes have a slight impossibility of bonding with civilians, and in Viscounts and Barons are weak in the sense of identity when it comes to bonding with the upper echelons"

"Besides, the Knights chiefs are Kingsguards... which would also be ideal in the sense of transmitting information and receiving covert lives. Whatever you think, you're a" competent country pawn. "

"" Oh...... "

Me and Marquis Leckbari, who can be disappointed by the two commentaries. It is certainly impossible to refuse. In addition to the fact that a Kingsguard came out about the chasers, I also helped with my nickname 'Demon King' and the two of you sound so right.

Or is this not a cheap reason because she is the daughter of the Knights Commander, but because this is the cause?

I mean, "His Royal Highness the Demon King", so it's optimal.

It was Mizuki himself who named it, and it wasn't particularly necessary to name it.

Still, Mizuki himself deserved what he said in Nori......!

"Um, stupid cat......!

What, and crush the letter from King Carlossa, who had it in his hand. Marquis Leckbari looked up to the ceiling with one hand against his forehead.

What the hell are you doing, man? What do you do with creating a gap from yourself, stupid girl!

"Speaking of which, I named it His Highness's subordinate... although I dared not stop it because it's the usual thing"

Know your biggest mistake in the words of Marquis Leckbari, who groaned with a distant eye. Yes, we didn't stop Mizuki from naming us that way. That's because 'at some point we unconsciously thought of Mizuki as one of our own'.

It would be useless to stop now. Because even Rudolph naturally recognizes that.

"You looked too natural as a parent cat, and nobody stopped you."

Everyone nodded loudly as Al told the reality with a dry laugh.

"Parents, you've passed the guts to show your pro-cat guts, Your Highness. With all that protection, everyone would naturally have felt uncomfortable naming Mizuki as His Highness's servant."

Marquis Leckbari. I know the parental guts, but the parental cat guts, the parental cat guts!

I think so, and I didn't stop it again. One person... usually would blame me if they named it that way on their own. I can't argue with what seems to be a fact at the point where I didn't do it.

The sound of a knock sounding there. When I gave permission to enter, it was the stupid cat in question, Mizuki the troubled child. This is followed by the Assistant Chancellor of Clarence and Carlossa.

Since Al and Klaus, the guardians, are in the office in addition to not being allowed to act alone, Mizuki should not be able to come here. But apparently Clarence brought me here.

...? Is it because of the distant sight of the Assistant Chancellor?

Apart from that, I invite Mizuki. and smiled at her as she came closer.

I slapped him in the head.

"Hey!? What are you doing all of a sudden, Demon King!

"Hustle, you stupid cat!

"I don't know what that means. Yo!

Mizuki said, "Are you complaining?" And I turn my attention all the time. Al and the others... they just seemed distracted, but they didn't seem willing to stop me from what I was talking about until just now.

"Ahhh... this time it's your fault. I mean, you don't deserve it."

Mizuki tilts her neck to the Marquis of Leckbari, who just tells her to "give up" with raw warm eyes.

"Huh? You're motivated from the start, aren't you? It's less difficult and safer than it was right after I came to this world! It's just the art of fighting!

"Uh... no, the..."

Marquis Leckbari stuck in words for unexpected reactions. The assistant prime ministers are also listening with a gentle eye open. Surely that would be an idea compared to the beginning and the present?

Speaking of which, Mizki has people close to the upper echelons of various countries. No wonder we want an early solution for those countries that have not yet been harmed.

Did we all come to the same conclusion? Mixed with bitter expressions. I was wondering if I would end up using this demon instructor conveniently.

"Is that okay with Mizuki?

Ask for Mizuki's intentions so that Argento can make a final confirmation, though it seems complicated. Carlosa's assistant prime minister is asking for his consent, so he wants to make up his mind without plaguing Albert and the others?

On the contrary, if I say 'I don't like it' now, I guess I'm willing to move. As far as I can tell, the Assistant Chancellor doesn't seem to agree either.

However, Mizuki's thought circuit is always diagonal.

"There is no word in my dictionary for defeat and enemy escape. The last thing you need to laugh at is me, if you can finally sell your favors to another country!

"" "" Oh... yes... ""

It is not a very honest answer. It would still be better if I acted like this didn't make me worry, but I'm not uncomfortable at all, no matter how I look at it.

I mean, stupid. Just being honest. Plus, he's serious.

Where did the inspiring reason for joining the war go! That's the real deal!

That's what everyone said about the voice of the hidden mind. Or so says the gaze directed at Mizuki.

Clarence and the Assistant Chancellor are silent about what they heard in the Knight's Dorm. However, the gaze toward Mizuki is strangely raw and warm.

Though I think so, I turn my awareness to Mizuki, who seems to be in need for now, and encourage him to get ahead of the story with his gaze....... but her thoughts were diagonally ongoing.

"Demon King! I don't mind if I do, but how do I get kidnapped?

'What?'

The voices of us - with the exception of Clarence and the Assistant Prime Minister - were beautifully hammered. What is it?

Feel my surprise gaze, or Clarence pinches my mouth.

"Mizki says that if you are also the daughter of the captain, that person, who moves voluntarily, is likely to continue. If I had that information, I wouldn't be the subject of a kidnapping."

"That's why I'm here to ask you," Are there any elements that would make sure you get kidnapped? "... At first, I said I couldn't because of my face, but this kid"

I have a headache in the words of the Assistant Chancellor, who supplements me as if I were frightened. Mizuki...... why do you say that from yourself? For once, you're a woman.

"Haven't you ever had anything in common with the kidnapped courtiers? I'm sure you'd better aim for that! Unless you're the one who's in the mood to turn all Mr. Commander's fans on the enemy, you'll never catch it. There's no beauty that just attracts me in the first place!

"Mizuki, don't you say yourself and be vain about Albert anyway?

"Doesn't it matter to take reality calmly? At least I'm surrounded by demon kings, right? And all men. It can't be empty, it's going to be an important card in a people-to-people match!

I can't even feel the sorrow of the shards on Mizuki, who says it with a good smile. For her, beauty is not something to fall in love with or envy, is it one of the elements that frightens people?

It would not be my fault that the two childhood tamers lost sight of that attitude, which I was willing to use in some situations.

... I don't care what you say to Mizuki now, do I? Both of you. You guys have had similar ideas from day to day.

"Only Mizuki is an exception" isn't supposed to work, is it? I'm glad you understand too much, fiancée.

From what I can tell, your preferences and actions are very convincing. [M] It's splendidly alike, same kind.

"So. Any information?

You don't realize how we feel, you know, like a stupid cat asking about a cow.

"Ouch!?

I think it's acceptable that you slapped Pei in the forehead.

... Klaus? "Speaking of which, don't slap the cat with your forefoot," he murmured. What do you mean?
