481 Priority is given to your own cat and best friend.

― ― In the Knights' Dormitory (Rudolph's perspective)

Elsch-on gradually gained Dr. Gordon's permission to move freely.

Officials, including us - Elshun's knights and visitors from all over the world - were gathered in the cafeteria of the Knights' Dormitory.

I don't want to keep this gathering a secret. It's just that this is the only place I could talk to everybody at ease.

I am the king, but Elsh-on is the second prince of this country. And there are royalties among those who gather.

No matter how close you are, you will need minimal courtesy as long as you have outside eyes around you. Of course, so is our escort.

As a result, the Knights' Dormitory was chosen, as usual. Identity can be troublesome at times.

If Mizuki was there, a prefecture called "Mizuki needs help" was adopted without asking questions, and as a result, the Knights' Dormitory was a gathering place.

Mizuki seems to be moving freely, and she's in isolation for a while. It inevitably means, "Mizuki needs help = visiting the Knights' Dormitory."

It was a very useful part of the "secret story".

Of course, Mizuki himself was forced to participate.

... that said, if you invite Mizuki, she will definitely stick her neck in, so she said, "I was forced to join! There is no sense of sadness. 'Nice and enjoyable," idiot. "

Elsch-on is doing this every time, so the over-protection must have accelerated.

Rather than wanting to be protected, I think it would be quicker to give up than to attack the frontline with pleasure... but my friend is as serious or as difficult as ever.

So.

His friend Elsch-on is now breathing deeply.

"I haven't heard from Mizuki...."

While saying that, Elsch-on was dying. Such a figure seems to suspect the magician who is supposed to be under his protection, and the word "hard work" is perfect.

His over-protection is famous and it is known to many that the two are very close.

In fact, some of those who saw Elsch-on in the castle thought of his mood or looked at him with a labourful gaze.

Anyway, the reason Mizuki ran away this time was' Attack on Elshun (+ me) '. There is nothing wrong with Elsch-On, but it was until then when I said it was the cause.

"I can't believe you're putting a cute little girl in danger...."

I can't believe you got hurt, too.

People who don't have a lot of contact with each other can really look like this.

In a sense, it's also true - it's just the way some people see it. Nobody said it was right - so those who knew them well raised their mouths and diverted their eyes.

Because that's more convenient.

It is in this world that there is a difference between ideals and reality. In other words, it is true that Elsh-on, who is responsible for Mizuki, is depressed, so it is not a lie if there is a difference between their views and the temperature.

... but...

It's Mizuki's own cat, who can be nicknamed "Foreign Ferocious Species".

"What are you doing, that stupid cat!

Dan! And he banged his fist on the table with a demon figure. In combination with the intimidation, it was a horrible demon king. Everyone around me is feeling Elsch-on's anger or something.

Seeing me like that, I turned a warm, raw eye to Elsheon. Overprotective, extremely rare here. Mizuki's nostalgia is also fair, but the over-protection of her own cat is also a good match.

I think you can tell by looking at this, but Elsch-on is not particularly discouraged.

This parent cat, Harvis, is not worried about the shards.

Harvis is the perpetrator, so you probably don't have to worry about it. But this time, the person who just moved was bad.

The magician who went to Harvis was called the "Worldwide Disaster", whose strength was recognized by all countries.

The magician, Mizuki, is a stranger, and naturally has a guardian to watch over his actions.

Elsh-on is the guardian of Mizuki, so she must be held accountable for her actions. Even if it's a wizard!

Normally, I would be pessimistic about my misfortune. I can't believe I was attacked for a reason I don't know, and when I woke up, I was watched, and if I succeeded, I could sell my fights to a country!

No matter how much Harvis is the perpetrator, if Mizuki does too much, it will be Elshun's fault. Normally, you should be conscious.

But actually, as you can see, His Majesty only cared about his cat.

The eyes that point to Elsch-on will warm up raw... who the hell said he was a "cruel demon king"? You're the one who's upset about missing a kitten.

Come out and see this sight. Don't worry about the cat, Elsh-on gets mad!

Look, Elshun's knights aren't moving at all. In other words, it's not "this time only, this is happening", it's "familiar reaction".

"Elsh-on, come on... why don't you just stop and learn to 'give up'?

"Would you stop talking nonsense? Rudolph"

"When it comes to Mizuki, it doesn't matter what the people around me say."

"Gh...!

Shut up. I don't suppose you can deny my allegations because of your enthusiasm for education.

"After all, you can 'wait' now.... about once every five times."

"... where did the exact numbers come from?

"I deduced from what I heard from Sail and what I heard from Mizuki himself. By the way, it's a number of times, including details, so if you look at it from a wide perspective, I think you can" wait. "

"..... You can't do it this time!

I smiled and shook my hand as I stared at it.

"Because you didn't stop me. You were asleep, right?

"It's because I fell asleep!

I laughed funny before holding Elsch-on in my head.

"That's good, I've been missed. He went to kick some of our ancestors' graves, and he said he wouldn't listen if he stopped."

"No, let's stop that!? Blasphemy for the dead!?

Not much, a little Elsch-on. At the same time, a number of people who did not know those circumstances were consolidated. But I put my thumb up and smiled.

"Actually, I'm sorry I didn't have to kick!

"Eh?"

I'm the king. I forgave you. It's okay.

It's not Mizuki, but I think power is great sometimes. It's okay, Elsch-on. Even that Irving is not to blame for that.

"You guys... really look alike..."

You thought it was a waste, or you were stunned... Elsh-on exhaled deeply. Those who perceived the situation were stunned, appreciative, and intrigued. Looking at us, there were various reactions.

Of course, some of Elsch-on's eyes are sympathetic. It hurts (laughs) to chase Elsch-on like that.

"Mizuki and the others don't have to worry because they can only drop Harvis' fortress."

I dropped a bomb.

"... eh?

"That's why I dropped Harvis' fort. And two. Well, it seems to be small."

"Haah!?

Almost all of them were hacked. Oh? The gray cat - Mizuki named it. I wonder if this was unexpected about His Highness Suanze. I feel a little special, and I feel a little good.

"Hey, ma, Rudolph!? How do you know..."

I got a letter from Mizuki.

Look, I'm an accomplice this time! Elsh-on convulses his face when he takes out the letter and shows it.

…… Rudolph, you're the king. You can judge between good and bad things, right?

"I can do it. That's why I support Mizuki's actions."

"Wait a minute, Lord Elshon.... excuse me, Rudolph. Could you please tell us why you decided to" support "me?"

"Oh, I don't mind. Besides, it would be easier to use words on the spot. Me and Elsch-on are doing the same."

Yes, sir.

"... ah... okay. Listen to me and I'll make up my mind."

His Highness Suanze's intervention seemed to calm Elsch-on a little. Is it embarrassing to see you in a hurry, or does a bitter smile appear to be a little uncomfortable?

--Apparently Elsch-on is showing good change.

If it had been Elsch-on, I would never have seen him like this. It seems that even though the face is limited now, it has become quite cheerful.

While I'm happy with the change of friends, I shake a letter from Mizuki lightly.

"This letter says only the minimum. So this is my guess. Is that all right?

"Of course."

I nodded and opened my mouth to an acknowledgement from His Highness Shuangze.

"First, the fall of the fort. This is to make the Wizard Master perceive it as a threat. Oh, I didn't hurt you, but I didn't kill you. Mizuki's injuries are healed."

"You mean you've been careful?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no."

What?

Almost everyone looked suspicious. Argent and Klaus and His Highness Shuangze are the ones with the funny faces.

And then... oh, you have a twin split and the look Glenn reached. Mizuki's actions seem to be somewhat legible, and even if they are wrong, they do not seem to be "actions from goodwill".

"The letter specifies' the number of fortifications dropped ',' what to do at that time ',' the final decision ', and' the time '. By the way, it's near the woods. They said they destroyed the weapons they had. And the time was" when it was almost night. "

"Time...?

"What does it matter?

Princess Celestina and Emerina seemed strange, but the knights - especially Klaus - felt something and deepened their laughter.

"Mizuki's healing magic is' an explosive enhancement of the body's healing ability ', not' making up for the body with magic '. In other words, they drain their health. In addition to previous battles, healing drains health. Can you get out of the woods without a weapon in bloody clothes? Well, it was the soldiers themselves who made the choice to" leave the Night Forest. "

"That's it!

The first to notice was the knights. Eventually, those who realized the sincerity of being put into it will have a calm face.

"Mizuki and the others dropped the fort, but 'I didn't kill anyone'. This will be testified by the guardians of the accompanying 'Other Country'. On top of that, the soldiers chose themselves... 'We have to leave the Night Forest in order to warn the wizard of the threat as soon as possible.'"

It was Harvis' soldiers who tried to escape the Night Forest. I waited till morning, and I was able to procure weapons.

In other words, it is the responsibility of the Harvis side even if he dies... because it is the tragedy that happened because of the sense of responsibility of the Harvis soldiers.

Harvis must be convinced to prove the high quality of his country's soldiers.

What do you call this, besides malice? Mizuki knew and assembled this solution.

Of course, I'm convinced of that. Nina, this is for Ilfena.

He's... my best friend.

Because it's so sweet for a family member who demonstrates over-protection on a daily basis due to an unbelievably bad personality habit.

"Mizuki does not allow the raiders to tread on the cowardice of the knights of this country."

"Huh? Well, I know that. But that's not what outsiders say. Mizuki, you know that."

I'm convinced Elsch-on knows how proud they are.

The fact that he was unable to defend himself during the raid was accepted, and Elshun's knights showed themselves to obey any punishment.

So intervening in the emotions of the individual and sweetening the punishment will only hurt their pride.

"The knights cannot retaliate on this matter. But Mizuki, without a fence, said," I won't forgive you. "Hey, don't you think it's similar? 'An act of treading on the cowardice of those who are proud to protect.' They made us feel the same way when they attacked us. No, I don't think so. Two of those forts fell down."

"Ah, 'revenge' in that sense!

"'If you're sent, it's polite to give it back tenfold,' he said. Isn't that twice the number and twice the humiliation?

The knights must have deepened their laughter because they noticed this. Those who recognize Mizuki as their companion... I don't think they simply went to thank them.

But Mizuki had another meaning to this incident.

"And then... I think it means, 'Let Ilfena have a place to drop it.'"

Huh?

"Elsh-on, I told you, right? What do you want Elsh-on to do? '"

"Ah, ahh... you did say that."

You remember, Elsch-on nodding. Everyone has a strange face because they really don't understand what this means.

"Honestly, no matter how much Elsch-on wants to settle down, this is impossible. I don't think even Zebrest can do it. Even if we want to be calm ourselves, we can't be licked as a country."

No matter how many other countries are on our side, not all are on our side.

As long as I don't show you how to handle the country, some people will despise me. In order not to do so, we sometimes have to deal with it severely.

... that's why Mizuki chose Sail to accompany her and took action.

"But Mizuki's guardian is you. The sail I'm accompanying is my knight, the Crest. Ilfena, both Zebrest and I... If I were to say more, you and I would be in charge of supervision. Forgive yourself, and the fort fell as a result. This is not a light matter.... can be used as trading material. Harvis is the culprit, so if we show him the settlement plan, he'll eat it. As you wish," I can solve it peacefully. "

Nah......

"I'm sure Sayle's feelings are over, so we've got it handmade. Well, I need an apology from Harvis."

Almost everyone was stunned. Show them that you agree.

Whether Ilfena is advantageous or not, if Elsch-on doesn't want it, 'I'll take it to the situation I want'.

Mizuki misses Elsch-on, the parent cat, and has a higher priority than Ilfena.

If there was such a back and the fact that the fort fell, Sail would have had a fist swinging up. Whether you're a knight of slaughter thoughts or not, it's something I don't want to lose in retaliation.

"It looks exactly like him. You miss me, Elsch-on."

I laughed amusely at Elsch-on.

--That selfish and selfish exorcist is always on our side.
