463 "Excursion," decisive

- at a place where

"The creepier the better."

Looking back on the path that had come before, the companions stood shoulder to shoulder.

"Well, I have no choice. With so many dignitaries from all over the country, we really have to prioritize you."

"Sort of. Besides, no matter how" worst sword "nest the place is... or the residence of the knights who have a reputation for strength," The Knight's Dorm "is the problem."

- You're definitely inferior to a castle for security.

As he continued to do so, his silver-haired companion - Sail - deepened his grin in a meaningful way.

I don't mean 'no security'. Essentially, knights are raw interrupters targeting royalty and nobility, so there is some 'protection' to prepare for raids and other things.

However...... only 'to some extent'.

A knight is a profession that falls under the category of the so-called "professionals of violence," so he recognizes it to the extent that "with this much help, we can do something about it ourselves."

Naturally, the castle, where many royalty and nobility stay, which is the 'protected position', is thicker protected.... In some cases, the knights and other castle dwellers may be watching you in the name of 'For Escort'.

Exactly. Assistant Chancellor and Glenn are staying in the castle room. They were the envoys to whom the State intended - they may not have the same appearance, but they have the same role - so 'correspondence in keeping with their identity' was applied.

Of these, the people who are totally irregular are the "Friends of the Magic Instructor".

Normally it's like, 'I can watch you, and you can stay in a knight's dorm.' 'It's supposed to be a response,' but that goes as far as being a civilian or sophisticated junior aristocrat class.

Just tell your royal counterpart in another country, 'You can be with your friends (= magicians), right?' I can't say. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

It should be noted that the Demon King was sincerely wary of this, apparently.

Of course, it is not in the 'magician is used without the permission of Ilfena' sense that I would be used for the troubles of another country.

I'm just wary of the 'quote where the demon conductor stuck his neck in trouble on his own, playing down with a toy before the Irfena side knew it' thing.

In other words, the Demon King's target of alert is not 'someone from another country', but 'an asshole cat who doesn't know what to do' ONLY.

'There is no way Mizuki will be used. On the other hand, he treated me like a toy and just played with it. "

Noeko the Knight Dormitory, who heard this, divided his reaction into three patterns: those who burst into laughter - those who prompt me to reflect with a true face - those who deeply agree and nod.

And, naturally, the word of denial doesn't go up. As far as the Knight s goes, the sermon mode is all about "A Little Hard Work for Your Highness".

To the lack of trust in stability, cheers. The fact that 'Mizuki is basically the culprit' must be rooted in the Demon King.

……

When I asked him half the funny part, he said, "Isn't that obvious?"

For the record, he said, 'Put your hands on your chest and look back on what you've been through,' so I thought back - 'Sure, maybe?' I have a later conversation about being slapped when I'm convinced.

Do as you're told, and you're unreasonable when you say you're convinced of what the Demon King has to say. It's a terrible story.

- Well, anyway.

People who are supposed to be protected in the castle are in the cavalry where I live. Inevitably, the knights in the cavalry are their escorts.

That's why.

Today, I was able to get out of Ilfena very, very lightly.

Of course, it is only with the cooperation of His Highness the Schuanze. They all acted differently only today and took on the gaze (= eyes of surveillance) that should be directed at me.

And another reason I was able to get out of it lightly is' the guardians were by my side '.

Sieg, who was beside "Coincidence," and Sail, who came to see how he was doing under Rudolph's life, "Occasionally," because he sensed I was about to get out, and he followed me as he was.

From the edge, it only looks like the wind: 'Lord Saillite and Lord Siegfried are the amulets of today'.

In the first place, they are people from other countries, so it is impossible to sue 'it seems like the Mage is about to get out' without proof. Normally it takes the form of passing Al or Klaus.

These two were accompanied this time, considering those circumstances as well. Even they have a position as guardians, so I can make excuses even if they poke me!

No, you're a friend who understands what you need to have......! It is very helpful when you have an understanding that includes aspects that are not Roku.

"This is a special situation, Mizuki. With all of you who have cooperated, I know that. But it is also a fact that it is a 'time to enjoy a prank with friends'. It's a rare opportunity, so you'll stick with it."

"Oh, yeah, I know that! Everyone seemed to have so much fun. It was about you, Cyrus, who had dead eyes. Weiss was serious about his assignment."

"Hehe. They'll get used to it."

"That's right."

"Ha! Well, you're getting a pretty vague life this time. I asked Keith, 'Why don't you follow your daughter?' Cause they said, 'I'm gonna follow Mizuki, right?

"Oh, so am I. Rudolph tells me that you are accompanying Mizki. If it's plain to say, 'You don't know what a black cat without parental surveillance will do, so just follow me in case.'"

…… I mean, basically it's my fault, "

"Yes."

"Well, Mizuki is the culprit."

……

You guys, remember later.

He won't scold me with him later, but if he asks me about the main culprit, he seems unanimously to be 'It's Mizuki'.

But whatever your future behavior is, I'm not the one who's going to get out of it. Not my idea!? It's wet...!

"Cool"

"No, it's true you're the culprit. Thank you for not being able to escape in the industry."

……

Immediate penetration, thanks!... Actually, this time, there may be 'another' companion.

"Aren't you an accomplice, Lord Twins' One Break?

"Right. Well, as far as I'm concerned, I didn't expect you to follow me conspiring with one crack."

"Ugh... I'm bored! Lord Siegfried to General Saillite!

Returning slightly blushing is you, Abel, one of the knights. Oh, my God, this time, Abel came voluntarily with me!

This twin basically acts on a set, so another behavior is a bit unexpected. But it was more surprising that you gave me priority over the Demon King's intentions.

However, they are basically cautious (self-declared).

The remaining crack used the disguise used during the Viscount Grandkin case (= Christina related disturbances) to play one or two roles. He said he had a collaborator.

It should be noted that the vacation report will be 'I put it out, but I accidentally missed confirmation'.

What is this collaborator, Mr. Commander? Thoroughly that when you receive your vacation notice from Abel in the Knight's Dormitory, you will show yourself to serve your nostalgia well!

It seems to me that I've 'accidentally' stopped the vacation notice at my place. Well, I'm actually busy right now, so it would be superb to persuade.

Around this being done behind the scenes, Ilfena...... I guess the knights in particular are gutted. The knights are known to the leaders for their abilities, so they must have let me accompany them as a supporting role.

"Don't lighten up, don't lighten up, I know what you're capable of, so I'd appreciate it purely."

"Shut up.... Even us, Your Highness has been attacked!

Speaking with a flickering wave, Abel turns just like a blindfold.... but we listened to him. It sticks, it deepens my grin.

"Your Highness Elshon is admired."

"It's our demon king!

Purely everywhere, Sieg's words picking up facts only. While affirming that, we advanced our legs.

- Meanwhile, around that time, in Elshon's private room. (Elshon perspective)

……

……

Friends who have visited the room - I was greatly puzzled by the way it looked with a certain 'belongings'.

That won't help either. Why do you have a super big cat stuffed animal named 'Dear Parent Cat (Fake)' to Mizuki...? Plus, politely with kittens.

In the first place, that should have been in my office.

When I turned my gaze to Al with that thought, I was subtly distracted.

……

I don't know, it's you or Mizuki, isn't it?

I sighed deeply. Yeah, I knew. I mean, I can't let that kid grow up.

Whatever, there are too many collaborators this time. Rudolph in front of me and because he's one of them.

No matter how much, I can't imitate pushing all the nonsense on Al and the others to hold them accountable. They are dignitaries of all countries, kings of friendly countries if they are bad... Mizuki would be more advantageous no matter what you think.

"For once, I'll listen. Rudolph, what happened to 'it'?

"Hmm? Mizuki, who sensed that I hadn't slept well, gave me the amulet instead. Says, 'Even stuffed animals are like parent cats, so they protect me from nightmares'"

"Hmm. How does it work, by the way?

"Oh! Oh, no more! Weak on this in Gania...... no, they were letting you hear the intent to kill me, so I figured one or two of the curses was hanging?

"I didn't want to hear it in the second half......!

Unexpectedly, I hold my head. The fact that a stuffed animal that seems to imitate herself is protecting her friend's sleep is in itself a smile.

Yes, that's fine. The problem is that 'it worked quite well'. I want to believe it's because of my mind, or coincidence.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm a messenger this time. So take it."

"What? No, no, you're the king of a neighboring country, aren't you? If I'm wrong, I won't messenger with you."

"Mizuki, that's not going to work."

……

……

"Indeed."

"Huh? So take it."

To put it that way, Rudolph offered a kitten stuffed animal. The little black kitten holds a message card trying to pinch it between her forelegs.

……

Let's do it. I have a bad feeling about it.

Turn over the scary card. It said this in a familiar letter there.

"I'm leaving home."

"Ah... um, stupid cat!

"Oh no..."

"Ahhh...... that's right, Mizuki. From the standpoint, is it because Elshon can't get out strong that I'm in charge?"

I felt even more headaches in the appearance of Rudolph and Al peeking into the cards for swallowing.

Mizuki... remember later!
