203 Twenty-fifth, on the wedding day. (1/2)

SIDE: Lambros.

Is this the right thing to do?

After everything was said and done, I asked Master May for help.

So no one died, and the party was canceled.

It doesn't sound like something Master May would have wanted to do. And if so, did I make a mistake?

When that happens, it's time to go to .......

Hmm. . well, that was good, wasn't it?

'Yeah, right: ......'

Apparently, it wasn't a failure.

Maybe Master Mei just wanted to bring chaos to the kingdom.

Hey, why don't you come out now, instead of hiding?　This is your last chance to talk to me.

”I'll take that as a yes~~. Long time no see~~

I thought Master May had spoken to my shadow, and then a man came out of my shadow .

I couldn't help but let out a strange ”hi” at that and fell on my butt .

Why, how could someone come out of my shadow!

That's gross. Didn't you tell me you wanted to be normal when you talked to me?

”Isn't this awful~~~”. We've been working together for 200 years~~

They ignored me and started a conversation.

No, considering you're talking to Master May as equals, you're not just any guy.

The smart thing to do here is to keep quiet.

”That's why.

I'll have to do it. And then?　Are you allowed to do a half-assed job like that~?

Halfway through?　I knew it was a mistake?

I'll tell them you interrupted me.

You haven't changed. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked to clean up after May~

So she's May's equal.

We mustn't be rude to her.

Oh, right. I mean, you're the only kind of pervert who would take a job for someone who's going to kill you one day.

You're terrible. You said you'd be a good partner to her on more than one occasion~

Who are you two talking about?　Or rather, are there people on top of Master May?

I can't imagine .

I hope you're not going to betray me so easily if you're going to be ...... cooperative.

Betrayal?　This guy ...... is a traitor .

'I can't blame him because he's more in line with my thinking~'

”It sounds so beautiful what she's saying. You know we're going to have to kill each other in the end.

You don't say that, May isn't very good at killing.

Huh?　You mean Master May isn't good at killing?

'I'm not bad at it. How many years do you think we've lived through this battle?　If I have to, I'll kill you. It's just that I'm a little more emotionally involved.

Oh, that's right. I was wrong about May not being able to kill the good guys. That's why I was able to watch the attack event without worrying about it today. Once I saw their youth, May couldn't interfere with it~

Seriously, you're telling me that Master May has taken a liking to a brave man at ......?

d*mn, I was going to kill a brave man when the war was over, but I'd better reconsider: .......

''Shut up . If you don't draw the line in your own mind like that, you won't feel as guilty as you should.

'Oh, was it three hundred years ago now~?　I'm talking about killing a child reincarnator when he was still in the double digits of age and staying back for twenty years~

Three hundred years ago...... who the hell are these people?

You remember it well.

Well, that's a perfect way to describe May.

Yeah. Even today, after seeing the princess trying so hard to stop a brave man from running off, my guilt was added to the list.

Really, I don't think you're cut out to be a villain~

...... I agree with you.

'Feng ....... Just a little more patience ...... he ......

So, I'll see you in a few years!

The man who had been hiding in my shadow spoke into Master May's ear and then quickly disappeared.

What the hell did he tell Master May?

...... Well, I guess I should go home too~

Oh, um, .......

Wait a minute!　What am I going to do now!

There you are, as I recall. Yeah, ...... I could kill you and not feel guilty about it.

What, eh ......?　I don't think I'm a good person ......, so I had a feeling this was going to happen.

But I didn't want to get killed.

What. I don't feel like killing someone right now.

Don't be surprised: ...... or rather, if it weren't for that man, I would have been killed!

Well, as long as it's in the direction of a proper war with the Empire, as originally promised, you can do what you want.

'Oh, thank you. ......'

You can do what you want, but you're too scared. ...... We have to be very careful not to do anything unnecessary and get killed.

''Originally, I was going to have the young reincarnates crush each other without getting my hands dirty. ....... Those two got along so well together, so I guess that's not going to happen .......

As I bowed my head, Master May muttered something like that as if he was depressed .

I'm not sure who those two are, but I'm not going to ...... say anything unnecessary .

''Yes ...... there's no point in having a war anymore?　No, I'm rather thankful those two didn't die: ....... Oh, God!　That guy said something so unnecessary that it drove me crazy~!

I looked up a little to check on Master Mei and saw that she was scratching her head with her hands as if she was annoyed .

''What do you want to help me with!

SIDE: Kite.

I'm back.

The battle with the Guru was over, and they came to Leo's castle where Hélène was waiting.

'Ah!　I'm back.

Kite!　You're okay!　Are you hurt?

Elaine noticed me and rushed over and started checking every inch of me.

”I'm fine. I'm not hurt anywhere.

Really?　Did Kite fight?

Yeah. I mean, I'm almost the only one who fights.

'What?　Why!　What does that mean?

Elaine came on to Leo, not me.

I don't know what that feels like, but ....... You're the one who helped me, so you need to think about how you say it.

'Huh?　Oh, um, ......

Don't be so upset with Leo. That was a situation I had to fight for.

'What kind of a situation is it that Kite has to fight!

How do I explain it to you? .......

'The last demon that was summoned was the Demon King.

Demon king?

Not only Hélène, but even Rihanna expressed her surprise at the princess.

She's the Witch King.

Are you sure about that?　Because the Demon King is in the Demon Forest: ......

It's the newer demon king.

To the princess's question, Leo answered simply. No, can't you explain a little more?

Oh, yeah.

Huh?　Does that make sense to you?

What do you mean by that?　Tell me, Shelly!

I know... Hélène, you've gotten to know the princess well enough to let me call her by her nickname in such a short time.

Well, I got to know Leo pretty well, too, so I guess that was enough time.

”Yes.

What are you waiting for? I know.

It's easy. The Demon King was defeated 50 years ago, but he's still alive.

Oh, he knew. No, if Leo knew, the information would be shared throughout the Empire or .

'Huh?　It's so dangerous!　Why do you leave it out!

He's not such a dangerous person right now, so it's okay. He's too strong, so I don't think there's anything we can do except leave him alone.

I guess so . Even against that child demon king, it was a very close draw, but an adult demon king is not .......

Even you?

Of course. I'll end up playing with you. But that's not the point. Shouldn't you be worried about Kite?

'Oh, yes!　Why did Kite fight the newer Demon King and not you?

Oh, by the way, I remember we were talking about that .

'That's what we were talking about, and I thought he was a good opponent for ...... kite.

...... Kite, you defeated the Demon King. You did it.

No, I didn't. I didn't beat you.

I don't think a guy you can fight isn't a guy you can beat.
