One of the novels, "The Sister You Long For" (Lillian Perspective)

- At the time of the plea in Gania, in Sarovara

"We... not 'your friends'"

That's what I said and laughed at. My sister was a little good at it and had a more confident grin than that.

What your sister said should be something that drives your sister into Sarovara if you do poorly... No. Yet your sister used it as a weapon.... 'I turned it into a weapon'.

"Is Tircia acting strange, Lillian"

"Father..."

Your father, who had given up his place to your sister, looks somewhere dazed. Nodding as he was questioned, your father pointed his face at your sister. I'm caught, too, and I'll imitate you to my father.

"That's a thank you to Tircia. We were taken care of by the Master of Magic, but we can't give one back. Come there, it's this invitation. Perhaps Tircia has been waiting for this moment..." when the Master of Demons will hunt down the King's brother. "

"But won't your sister be disputed? I have heard that the poison in question was also used in other countries. I don't know how much Mizuki can help you, but I don't think Mizuki would want you to be guilty."

It's not just because I care about your sister. Your sister... First Princess Tircia is the one who needs this Sarovara.

You must know that, too, Mizuki. So on the contrary, I feel like I'm going to worry you.

If I told him that, your father laughed with pleasure.... that grin reminds me of a time when my mothers were still alive.

A grin as a 'father', not a 'king of one country'. I guess it's not my fault I haven't seen it in a long time.

"With Tircia, you know that. That's why I'm challenging you with that attitude. He exposes his information with an invincible grin and a strong attitude, and is interested in playing words with His Majesty the Magic Master.... Now, how many people sell fights to 'Friends of the Demon Master'?

"Ah......! Yeah, right. Corrupting your sister in this matter is the same as interfering with your sister Mizuki. Well, it's a hand in hunting down His Royal Highness the King. Because it's an exposure for your sister Mizuki, who doesn't care about herself."

I'm confused by your father's words. From whoever you look at it, your sister's behavior is for Sister Mizuki. If you bounce your sister here or something, no doubt, turn your sister Mizuki against the enemy.

There can't be anyone who imitates that stupid. Sister Mizuki is genuine, because she has the talent she deserves to name "The Magic Master".

You found out that I understood, and your father nodded satisfactorily.

"On this occasion, it is true that Tircia has become the power of the Demon Master. But it's also true that you risked it. It would be to let you know that the Master of Magic gave such a return to Tircia in a cheerful manner. As a result, it is no longer Tircia's unilateral devotion"

"Mizuki, you also showed your sister..."

"Mm-hmm. I don't think it's a very honest way of helping each other. Well, maybe those two would be just fine."

Protect each other with words and attitudes, not unilateral devotion. Sure, if it was your sisters, I felt you'd look better there.

But it's also true that you seem very jealous. It would be impossible to read each other's intentions, etc., unless those who are so fit or equally talented are with each other.

You two can make it. Really... enviably, you two are good friends.

"I regret it. I want to get mixed up in your sisters' conversations too, but I can't do anything right now. If we don't try harder...!

When I dropped my shoulder and grumbled in remorse, I saw signs of your father laughing. Raise your face and your father will stroke your head with a different but somewhere proud grin.

"Isn't it 'growth' that people think so? Lillian, is that a word that never came out before you, protected by Tircia and just cried? The will to help yourself, the attitude to strive for, whatever it takes, is not who you were before."

"... is it? Am I able to grow a little too?

"Of course. Besides, if it was Tircia before, I wouldn't have you present here, no matter how much I'm looking at you. I'm sorry to say this, but the situation in Gania is similar to yours. I don't want to remind you because I know you've been through a hard time."

…… Right. The situation between the King of Gania and His Royal Highness the King's brother... is what we might have traced...!

"We just didn't fight or get mixed up, it's still better though. If you're royal, that's not uncommon."

That didn't happen to me and your sister because your father broke your heart. That's not all, because your sister has mercied me and kept protecting me.

So no matter what they said, I didn't feel like resenting you two. I'm sure that was a very happy thing.

"The King of Gania and His Royal Highness the King are on different paths.... The Wizard will forgive you for such a warm punishment. His Highness Elshon will want" the least damaging settlement "after only the hands of His Majesty the Wizard."

Your father's lonely tone must be due to the decision your sister Mizuki makes. On that occasion, only Sister Mizuki can lead us to the 'least damaging settlement'.

Perhaps Sister Mizuki wants His Royal Highness the King to die. He would poke at the King of Gania on that occasion a decision that should have been made for a long time.

Still, I didn't think your sister Mizuki was horrible. Although they say it's not a good thing to trust unconditionally, Sister Mizuki... you don't think about yourself, etc.

I'm just trying to 'settle for the best'. And this time, you must avoid wasted sacrifices.

"I'm sure Master Celestina will regret it. She also loved Mizuki... she said she wanted to be able to negotiate like Mizuki."

The look of Corbella's princess, who looks good in men's clothes, comes to my attention. I'm sure that guy will be watching this sight, too. Master Hilda is likely to be watching as well.

And like me, I feel impudent about myself still not being in a position of reciprocity, and I have feelings similar to jealousy for my sister, who is capable of it.

... Oh, I can easily predict. Especially since you two have a serious personality, you may be consolidating your determination to encourage more study.

"Father, I don't have time to cry anymore. For all the time you've wasted, you're all going first. Besides, I know someone who has the same remorse.... you can't lose."

Your father seemed surprised at me for his motivation, but he instantly made sense. "Sure," he murmured, nodding loudly.

"Oh! Those princesses! Sure, the upliftment seemed high. You can't lose, Lillian."

"Yes!"

I know it's not all fun. Still, I have friends who go the same way, and I have a family who support me.

So I'm sure it's okay. Most importantly...

"I am the sister of Sarovara's female fox and the sister of the Magic Master. I can't show my pity."

Because you have the best sister!

Novel Two: To Return to Your Parent Cat, It's Still Far Away

- In Gania... when Charline and the others came to visit.

……

Unexpectedly complain about what is handed over. It must also be due to the fact that the person who gave this to me is Mr. Clarence.

Mr. Clarence is in the position of Deputy Commander of the Kingsguard Knights, Brain of Kingsguard. Others have nicknames like "Poison Couple's One Break" and "Kingsguard's Livestock".

It should be noted that if you only look, you are a gentle brother with glasses.... 'Don't let that laugh fool you!' is advice from an assistant prime minister, Mr. Clarence's best friend.

I said it didn't seem like a word from someone who was earning the status of best friend, and he looked away, 'We know our nature because we've known each other for a long time'.... I'm very curious about what happened.

"Hehe, I reward Mizuki for her hard work alone."

"Um... this is..."

"By the way, it's from the Kingsguard knights who always visit their meals"

We all miss you, don't we? And Mr. Clarence says, "Is that why you have 'this'?

"Does the Demon King know? That I'll take this."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Clarence deepens his grin and shakes his neck to the side.

"Of course, I don't."

"Hey, if I find you on your way home to Ilfena, what can I say!?

"Isn't that nice? Mizuki is also a girl, so you can't wonder where there was one or two of these things. In the first place, albeit temporarily before, there would have been Al, wouldn't there?

"No, that one was alive for once..."

To summon you, Mr. Clarence's laughter only adds radiance.... this is obviously interesting right?!?

But it looks like Mr. Clarence had a situation, too. As for the Kingsguard knights, who know how protected they are in the Knight's Dorm, they have quite a voice of apprehension about letting them stay in Gania alone.

"In addition to the attempted kidnapping of His Highness, the North is not a friendly place for the otherworlds. He has the impression that he was thrown into enemy territory without a guardian."

"Well, that's not wrong either."

Nodding to agree, Mr. Clarence nods back satisfactorily as well. Because we don't know who's listening, what's unimpeded - the attempted kidnapping is now - is all Mr. Clarence can say.

So I guess this was combined with a confirmation of 'whether I understand those circumstances'. If you show the bare gesture you are thinking lightly, I think you have added a novel.

So everyone thought, at least as a comfort.

I stare at what I hold. The super large cat plush has long golden hair and deep blue eyes for a sharp impression.

No matter how you look at it, it's made with the image of catching the Demon King. Sure, it's a familiar substitute for me.

"Look at this, good luck"

Unexpectedly, hugging me all the time, Mr. Clarence grinned gently and stroked my head.

"... if I saw this when I was tired of the fool's opponent, I'd want to go home"

"I know how that feels, but let's do our best to the end, shall we?

When I snort, I snort satisfactorily, Mr. Clarence. That's right, the word 'you can go home' will never come out, will it?

The plush toy is pleasant to the touch. On the bed, you could take a pillow instead.

"Okay. Good luck."

"That is the Black Cat of His Highness the Demon King. We all hope so."

After such an exchange, Mr. Clarence and the others left.

- Meanwhile, around that time, in Irfena.

……

"... something, Klaus"

"What happened to that black cat stuffed animal?

"I left Charline before she left for Gania!

The stuffed animal that sits' chipped 'on Elshon's desk is a black cat no matter how you look...... and is a kitten.

Charline also knew who that reminded her of, and I bet she dared to give it to Elshon.

Mizuki will receive a large cat stuffed animal with golden hair. My husband told me about it and came up with the idea that one of the poisoned couples would take a ride.

"She's in a far away place. Don't you miss her?"

It was this stuffed animal that was passed along with such words. As for Charline, it's a concern not to miss Elshon at all, which I've always thought of as my brother.

Not so much, Ershon and Mizki were recognized as' friendly cat parents and children '. Knowing about kittens, Elshon shortly after Mizuki was transferred, it was also natural to worry about the mental state of the parent cat.

'What would have happened if El hadn't settled down as it were,' is Argent's word. Because they are childhood friendly, they know that Elshon is rarely dominated by emotions.

And Mizki's forced transfer fell under that 'rare thing'. They were desperate to calm Elshon down because they had also seen enough of the action at the end of it.

By the way, that's not 'less worrying, less mentally unstable'.

"We're gonna run out of bees, we're gonna target Gania, we're gonna try to recapture it."

Mizuki will not know, but the nickname "His Highness the Demon King" is also about 10% correct recognition. However, only if it harms a very close person.

At the same time Mizuki has earned the position of reliable companion to Elshon... along with Noeko the Knight Dormitory, there was no zero chance that Elshon would go into retaliation.

It was a call from Mizuki that stopped it. In a way, he was the savior of Gania.

"... So, as a parent cat, is that going to replace Mizuki?

As Klaus asked as he took the black cat stuffed animal in his hand and looked at it, Elshon sighed deeply and shook his neck to the side.

"While I'm at it, I'm worried Mizuki might be messing with something..."

"Well, Mizuki."

"Wouldn't!? Oh, how much proof obliteration would be perfect, you wouldn't have done the murder......!?

"No... I'm going to that idea. I think you're pretty good, too, huh? El."

"Mizuki would do it. Ugh!

Elsh-on comes up with this while still having a headache-tolerant look. With such a figure at the edge of his sight, Klaus stared at the stuffed animal and eventually clapped his shoulders.

"Well, you won't be able to replace Mizuki with something like this. Too harmless."

With much to say, but a small grin, I put the stuffed animal back to its parent cat - Elshon.
