- In a church room (saint's view)
……
I stared with a smile at a man with a glass of wine with a pale face.My role is to be a 'witness' and a 'witness'.It is [her] role to shake words.
"Fufu, you're the one who wanted the 'fine sake' and 'cooking'."
"W-Well, that's..."
"I can't complain about the wine directly from His Majesty King Alberda and the otherworldly cuisine that was well received by the kings of all countries..."
Mizuki's words, speaking in a good mood, are not a lie.She has connections with royalty and nobles from all over the world, and even has a friendly relationship.
... yes, that's true.
I didn't expect King Alberda to be my drinking companion.
"Superior liquor"... this is a strong liquor that is said to "die if the weak man drinks". No matter how much you are used to liquor, if you drink it bypassing it, you will not be able to avoid the state of intoxication.
I was shocked by the fact that His Majesty King Alberda was sending such a thing to Mizuki, a woman, but today I found out why.
Mizuki the Mage. She was a type of drinker who didn't get drunk at all...!
In fact, Mizuki has a glass filled with the same alcohol as a man.Since earlier, I've been drinking without recommending it to a man, but there's no sign of getting drunk at all.Completely flat.
I got caught up in this guy and got caught up in a drinking place... how much fear does a man have?
Even the one you're afraid of is about to be crushed by a drunkenness.It must be scary and unavoidable, including the future that awaits afterwards.
"Look, there's no poison in it, right?"I'm drinking the same thing, too. "
Having said that, Mizuki takes a sip from the glass she holds.
... it's like drinking water.Did you think you were scarier than the poison?
That's what I'm talking about.
Mizuki said, "Acts such as [getting the other person intoxicated, signing a contract in your favor, or taking a pledge] are a means to be taken in consideration", so the man's attitude is probably half unavoidable.
It goes without saying that the other half of the reason is that "it was the mage Mizuki who set them up".
From the previous incident, the church nobles were terrified of Mizuki, a magician, so they could not imagine what kind of eyes they would encounter, and they were terrified.
……
I see, I'm sure I'm scared.
This one is dependable if he's on our side, but he's a bad foe if he's on our side.Because they are relentless in retaliation, using methods that reflect their bad character.
In fact, compared to the present, the bad personality is greatly exhibited.
The liquor the king of one country gave you... you can't refuse something like this.
Besides, I'm not guilty of anything.
It wasn't poison, it wasn't magic, it was the man in front of me who hated it because he wanted the "superior sake".
If they say, 'I prepared it because I wanted it,' that's it.In the first place, there can't normally be such things in the church.
As a result, the fact that "a mage consulted by a saint who is a friend provided the best liquor that he had" became a reality.
Besides, I was present as a poison witness myself.Without knowing what kind of liquor was offered, it was certain that Mizuki's appearance would be combined with the rumor that the wrong man was wrong when he saw the amount of liquor.
As always, this woman is the devil.
There is such a good guardian, why is he like this?
"Oh, didn't you want such a disgusting and superb drink and meal?"A friend of mine who appreciated my inexperienced lack of preparation brought it to me on purpose... are you still not satisfied with it? "
"No, no, that's not it..."
Or... don't you like the gift from His Majesty King Alberda?
Oh, that's right!
If you wake up quickly, you can be sure that you can [correctly] grasp the situation due to the desperation of the man who is in a hurry to deny it.
If I turned my gaze to Mizuki, I felt the same opinion as I did, and I twisted my mouth.
"That's right, that's why... 'You can't refuse what I recommend'."If you bypass it, it's like saying 'I'm dissatisfied'. "
- In the first place, the result you wanted, right?
It was only this time that the man remained silent.If there was no way out, it must have hurt.
Whether he anticipated giving up, fear, and the [misfortune] that would follow, the man stirred up the glass with vigour.Whether you abandon yourself or not, there is no other way.
It was he himself who blocked the way out.
A 'fool' who demanded nonsense from the church and tried to show the position of a strong man.
If he hadn't done such a thing, the man would have kept his arrogance unchanged.But the sorcerer did not allow it, and turned his back on his work, and overturned the situation.
Just to escape the fear, the man begins to lay hands on his liquor and food.Looking at such a man, I ran my gaze to a few secret pledges on the table that had not yet been signed.
Naturally, such a thing is not necessary.It's only natural that you don't ask the church for anything expensive or harmful.
However, the long-lasting adhesion between the upper ecclesiastical section and the church nobility has been doing those things without incident.
It drove the church nobles crazy, and the church took it for granted that they would follow suit.
Of course, there is no reason to comply with such a request now.Yes, there is no brother-in-law... as long as the operation of the church and the safety of the faithful are not even threatened.
There is no evidence to sue the king.Moreover, even though it is now beaten out, it was originally done by the fools of the upper church.
"It was the Church that started them, and we were said to be grateful."
There was nothing I could do if I was told like this.Beyond the fact, even if I do not complain directly to the king, I will not try to deal with the royal family in unequivocal harmlessness.
... but as long as I don't even have a self-made foreign wizard.
Well then, [Hospitality] should do it!
After consulting with an introvert, he laughed and finished speaking.
"Let's give you a full taste of [hospitality]."After that, you can write a pledge that [I won't do it anymore]. "
“I don't think I'll learn unless I'm uncomfortable.That's why I think you should let your body and head understand it. "
... this is behind the scenes.At that time, I thought what I was going to do, but I was convinced by the sight in front of me that it was certainly [hospitality] that made me understand with my body and head.
Perhaps the man is already drunk.The gaze that was coming at us was somehow dangerous.
But without knowing it, Mizuki poured out more wine.
Mizuki drinks more than he recommended to a man, so I don't think I can think of a good word to say no.
That's what I'm talking about.
Mizuki is too confident, so the man feels that his strange pride is interfering with him and cannot refuse.
Speaking of wizards, she looked like a little girl.
You can't say 'I was crushed by alcohol' by mistake.
Mizuki said, "There are places where royals and nobles live in pride, right?" It seemed that Mizuki had anticipated this development as well.
The method of using appearance is to get drunk and try to sign the pledge. It seems to be some kind of bad dealer or fraud trick, but what is being done is the "Mage of Guilty Conviction".
... for the sake of the Church, for the sake of the people who believe in his goodness, I will shut my mouth.
"Saint ~, here, here, you've signed lightly!"
When I noticed it, Mizuki shook a few pieces of paper and showed it to me.The man was already drunk, lying on the table.
……
"You're not really dead, are you?"If you're going to die, I want you to die in your own mansion.
How did you get him to sign it?
"What?" I said, "If you don't want to see this anymore, you can sign this."
"...? Is that all?"
"Yeah. And then," I said, "I'm drunk and go to sleep, but if I don't wake up, I'll blow my frying pan and wake you up."Others said, "I'll prepare more next time." "
... it's the devil's business.
A man will know what he's capable of, and he'll sign it in a hurry.If you don't do well, the second and third sessions will be followed by a drinking party (forced).
The man must have understood his situation correctly... 'If you don't sign now, you'll break your body and die soon'!
Moreover, in that case, the man who made the serious request in the church deserved it.Too pathetic, you can't escape the laughter from your surroundings.
"Well then, let's take him to the royal castle."I'll hand over this pledge to the king for his approval. "
Ehhh...
"Managing evidence is important!"Then, let's keep this drunk in the Royal Castle.It's a bad adult example, and it's bad for children's education. "
"... yes, I see"
... it seems that more hell has existed.What treatment does this man receive when he wakes up?
Well, well, it's true that you deserved it, so you don't have to do it.
Then, I suddenly said what I was concerned about.
"This guy used to say that depending on this response, he would harm the people living in the church.What happened to that? It's true that they were raising knights of kinship and faction. ”
I don't know if I'm threatening or trying to use my powers, but he used to have a few knights with him.Compared to this time, I'm sure they're bringing you in.
... but...
Mizuki nodded with a complacent expression and waved her hand flutteringly as she mouthed the wine.
Maybe it's a toy for the knights I brought with me.
“How's it going?
"After all, the Barakshin knights belonging to the church, when I came before, said that the guardian and the knights directly subordinate to the demon king were in my mood."I was treated as a man with only his face, so I was exhausted. "
No, no, I'm convinced of that anger, but it's not necessarily the people who said it.
It's the first time I've heard of it myself, and I don't sympathize with it, but it seems that it's only about eight.
Thinking so, Mizuki laughed.
"Do you know the word joint and several liability?For us, Barakshin is a choice of church or royalty.They are also guilty of the same crime, even after their companions have finished it. "
"You are both good, and you will have trouble saying such things to the Barakshin Royal Family."
As expected, the knights of the neighboring countries would be awkward to violate.Anyway, I don't think it would be good to attack them in eight places.
However, it was this Mizuki Self-Magician who went far beyond my concerns.
"I've spoken to Lord Levins first, so it's okay!"You're worried about hearing me, and you're gonna stop by the church to make sure my brother and his wife are safe.Ah, of course, I'm also worried about the people in the church. "
Ehhh...
"It looks like the brothers and his wife have told me that they're doing a lot of good things to the people in the church."I am a friend of His Highness the Levins' fiancée!And I want you and your brother to recognize you as the "trustworthy oniichan"!With everyone's thoughts aligned, it's an act of shame for His Highness Levins.No questions, no questions, no answers! "
"...... I see......"
With a nice smile, Mizuki sticks out her thumb and leaks a dry laugh.
I accepted Agnos because I pitied her for her origins and circumstances, but I seem to have a more powerful trump card than I could ever imagine.
And once again, I feel pain.... not only the mages in this self, but also the people around them were like me.
