404 New Year's Eve In Zebrest Later

- In the room of the rear house and Mizuki (Lord's point of view)

"Hey, those guys were in a hurry!

"You're an idiot! I can't believe we're giving you a moving gap. You're not gonna miss your chance."

Rudolph and the Wizard, who have a pleasant conversation, look like close sisters and brothers. Master Rudolph and the Wizard are born and raised differently, but they don't make you feel the distance. Really, it must be an unrelenting relationship.

Unexpectedly, I also remember the Swamp kids and watch you two smile. But there seemed to be a lot of things to do by then.

A very peaceful, soothing time. But the path that Master Rudolph had followed to get there was far from happiness.

What I recall is the past told to me by Master Arvillen, who looked bitter. Speaking to my opponent, who is not even a person's 'outsider', it was like a penance.

I think the hang-up was...... Master Rudolph and the Wizard were taking a nap with the frogs living in the pond.

Playing with the frogs, they must have been lured to drowsiness by the warm and soft sun. I also had daily tiredness and seemed to fall asleep at some point.

To me, watching the calm time we all had, Lady Arvillen said with an indescribable expression, with a thin hanging so that you two wouldn't chill out.

"If you're next to Mizuki, you can sleep without warning."

The Wizard is so strong that at first I thought it meant 'no one will harm you'. But in the words that followed, I realized it was a mistake.

…… You've got someone like that. "

It was joy and... a bitter past that was put in there.

When Master Arvillen noticed my gaze, he himself sat down on the spot.

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

There's no reason for me to say no. Master Arvillen said a word of gratitude and spoke out.

"Master Rudolph didn't even have a friend of his age to say about. If I were to say so, would it be His Highness Elshon? Well, I'm a royal from another country."

Your Highness Elshon is the protector of the Wizard, isn't he? I have also heard of Rudolph as a friend.

"But this is an unlikely situation. Usually, based on their identities and factional ties, sons of their age are supposed to be candidates for closeness."

... Indeed, Dear Arvillen, Saillite, and Eliza appear to be in a position of 'distribution' rather than 'friends'.

The Wizard said, 'Because I am an outsider to this country, the people I come into contact with are minimal. Well, if you knew how to handle me, you'd be in the direction of saying [I won't let you know me],' so I thought it was because of that.

But the way Arvillen put it, even if he's there, he doesn't have any friends...

You perceived how I felt tilting my neck, Master Arvillen shook his neck vertically.

"It fits with that prediction.... Rudolph also initially had those people. But when my father, the king, neglected Rudolph, they left."

... whatever, flirtatious.

To me, Lady Arvillen muttered, 'That's what I can't help myself with.'

"In some cases we left at their will, but in others it was the judgment of the house. Because we are young, our Lord's words are absolute. And... if the show is done, there's no way you can threaten it."

'Has anyone died?

In the dark, Mr. Arvillen shook his head sideways if he suspected the killing by showing off.

"I'm not dead. But the way I did it sucked. He disobeyed the warning and hurt the children of the house on Rudolph's side in front of him. Of course, apparently, it's the work of thieves."

'... despicable'

All I can say is yes. No matter what Rudolph does to you, this makes you feel like it's Rudolph's fault.

……

No, indeed, it must be caused by the fact that I took Rudolph's side. But aren't you the victim with Master Rudolph? Blaming it is a matter of muscle differences.

"If you are a child who will inherit the house in the future, your parents will be forced to pull you apart. But you can threaten them with the kids. And... Rudolph blamed himself and lost his potential friends."

"It's..."

"Master Rudolph and I are young. Naturally, it hurts. That's not all, I'm neglected by my parents, but I can show off my parents trying to protect my kids.... In many ways, they wanted to hurt Master Rudolph."

……

They must have had their say in those who went away. Until then, if I say self preservation, the opponent is the king of his own country… and Master Rudolph, who is seen as the next king, is young.

Now we have to leave, unless we are prepared to fall with Master Rudolph from house to house. Because there would have been an overwhelming victory, both in their identity and in the number of those who side with the king.

In the first place, something called a child is cruel. Behave as emotions and vomit words...... Isn't that why Master Rudolph was more hurt?

"So we chose the position of 'distribution'. If you subordinate, it is only natural to try to protect the Lord... it is loyalty and perseverance. No matter how much you think, Rudolph and I will not be praised."

"If you think of Master Arvillen's home, you would have had to be convinced"

"I'm not the only one who thought that, am I? Sail brushed his sword arms and Eliza became familiar with the poison. The more loyal I am to my duties, the more I can protect Master Rudolph. And I can protect myself. Master Rudolph has done so and accepted our ways."

'Right. Because it's a satirical way, I feel that you respect the way individuals are'

"But the harm..."

"Friend's absence, is it?"

"Oh. In the Lord and in his subordination, there's a wall, really. But when I look at His Highness Elshon and his two childhood knights, I can sense ties other than subordination. Between us and Master Rudolph, there was no such thing."

'I didn't,' Lady Arvillen said, but I guess I didn't make it intentionally. It's also to keep Master Rudolph from getting hurt.

It's a bad way of putting it, but 'death of subordination' is' one possibility 'included in your duties.

"Death of a Friend" is a completely personal emotion that is the starting point for action.

Rudolph and I are kings, so you should be ready to risk your life or something.... Yes, if it's a 'position or work thing', it's still convincing.

But in the absence of them, Master Rudolph will again blame himself for 'it's his fault'.

Master Arvillen and the others see Rudolph mourned in the past. If you think about that sadness, didn't you still think loneliness was better?

"That was the situation, but the limit finally came. As a result of relying on His Royal Highness Elshon of Ilfena, who had been kind to me, Mizki was sent. Well, at first, I thought it was some kind of joke, like a different kind of wizard."

With that said, you must have remembered the time. There was a bitter smile on Master Arvillen's face. Of course, that's not in a bad way.

"To be honest, we didn't really trust Mizuki. No, I might even have thought it was a pain in the ass. Whatever, I don't want to die. Besides that, the worst would have been our cunning.... I was thinking," If only you could be their target at all, "etc."

You gave priority to Rudolph, didn't you?

"Oh. At that time, Master Rudolph was exhausted. With more prey, their attention will also be missed. I was thinking about that, accepting as a helper."

That, too, must be Master Arvillen's regret. There is no doubt that Master Arvillen, whom I know, will have mercy on the Wizard.

We don't know what happened until we had such a relationship. But the Mage Master also seems to admire Master Arvillen like a guardian, so I guess we have a good relationship now.

"That's what I was thinking.... Mizuki was too out of standard."

'What?'

Master Arvillen, for some reason, has become a distant eye. Well, it seems like the atmosphere is very different from earlier...?

"I'm in trouble to die, so I gave you some advice. That stupid girl, what do you think she said? 'It's okay, because I'm the [hunting side]! That's it?

'Yes?'

I don't know what that means, I listen back unexpectedly. "The Hunting Side," is it... I thought you heard the Wizard was thrown into this country early on when he came to this world.

But Master Arvillen seemed to have a lot of build-up as well.

"I didn't know what that meant either. However, it was conveniently interpreted that self-responsibility was fine. As a result... Mizuki really hunted down the guys he had set up. That selfish daughter, she was genuinely motivated...!

"Oh, my God, I can do it. From the beginning, you were promising in the future. '

In nature, the strength to protect oneself is imperative. Because if you're weak, they just eat you.

To seeds that give birth to more than one child, we often abandon weak children and raise only strong ones who live. This may seem cruel because it is an instinct to 'survive the species'.

But from that kind of common sense of ours, the Magic Master is definitely a promising child in the future. It seems a little later that you became famous, but that one scale has appeared since you first came to this world.

I was honestly impressed, but that didn't seem to be the answer Master Arvillen wanted.

"Ahhh... no, I'd like that, if possible, to embed human common sense..."

'Is success in winning the competition for survival important even in humans?

"Well, that's true! In Mizuki's case, common sense is lacking or extreme in self! I know it's useless when I say ladies, but at least I want you to wear something called common sense..."

"Master Arvillen is here to show you the Magic Master."

That would be an emotion as a guardian. You don't seem to behave like a guardian obviously, but no doubt, you look like you're sheltering.

Did you feel any more excuse for me smiling, or coughing up, Master Irvillen was returned to the conversation.

"Well, like that. In addition to being killed, Mizuki was a character who enjoyed retaliation. Of course, it's done. That's why I think Mr. Rudolph is relieved." Mizuki won't be crushed if she's beside herself, and she won't leave if she gets annoyed, "he said.

"At least, in the past, you don't feel like you're going away."

"On the contrary, even if he eats the entanglement in connection with Master Rudolph, he enjoys the situation and turns to retaliation with pleasure. I don't cry when I'm wrong, and I don't blame Rudolph."

……

nature and my gaze was directed at the two sleeping people. I don't suppose we can hold it in Master Rudolph's shoes, such as unconditional trust. That should still be the same.

But even though he would be in a position to be king in the future, 'it's normal that when I was a child, I was protected by my parents, and I had time to be a child'. Because there's something to learn from that.

Master Rudolph did not have such time.... and just enough room to spend it like a child. Has it therefore caused some distortion? I also feel that the difference between what it is to be a king and what it is to be an individual is like its influence.

There are times when you seem a little childish when you are with the Wizard... maybe because Rudolph is redoing the time he wanted when he was young.

Of course, you won't be aware of yourself. But Master Arvillen noticed it. Maybe that's why we're losing confidence in our choices at the time.

"I think what you've done is right."

Then I'll affirm. It's selfish snake bullshit that doesn't get trapped in people's common sense and just thinks it's good to protect the loved ones, but I still can't help but say it.

"Until the Magic Instructor is here... Isn't it you who have protected the time until an irreplaceable friend for Rudolph shows up? Without that time, the sight is impossible. '

"Yeah, right."

"Yes."

Master Arvillen was smiled softly and, like me, turned his gaze to both of you. I'm sure Saillite and the knights will keep that sleep out of sight, and Eliza will have a cup of tea to serve when you two wake up.

Sure, it may not have come true to be by your side as a friend. But I feel that Rudolph knows that they are also those who do not want to lose them, and that they have mercied themselves.

So... I think you can sleep with that defenseless look on your face, right?

"Totally, it's as busy as ever"

At some point, Master Arvillen, who came to the room, can turn a blind eye to both of you. But I do know that those eyes are watching you both gently.

Besides, Master Arvillen. Rudolph is no longer the only good friend of the Wizard.

Whoo!

"Haha, did you enjoy your balls too?

Whoops!

"Well, let's not play again. Put my shoulder in position, Octopus."

- Green little guardians, my pretty children.

Those kids instinctively know to lean in. They help each other because they are a species without fangs or nails.

It may be very unreliable from a person's point of view, but it won't be what I've ever recognized because the Magic Master has taught me so many things.

And... I would also like to mercy Rudolph just like those kids.

It's okay, Master Arvillen. We'll make up for what you feel is missing.
