136 Back work even during breaks (1/2)
Felix comforts Miss Sandra in tears.
But the status quo is not sweet enough to allow it.
”... it would be a natural duty to greet His Majesty more than to attend a nightclub. Let's go.”
His Royal Highness Linus also urges the two of us with a harsh look on his face.
Did you gradually understand that - you also say you judged it from the reaction around you - and when you nod with a strong expression, the two walk under the king.
His Highness Linus bowed his head to us again after dropping it off.
”I'm sorry, I didn't think I had that much common sense”
”You must be honest with yourself.”
His Highness Linus exhales deeply when Al returns it without difficulty.
The environment in which Felix was placed would be special and there would be some things to be sympathetic about. But there were people who recognized me as a member of the royal family.
Ignore that voice. I can't do the victim side. Most importantly, because the public only treats him as an 'incompetent prince' over such a backward circumstance.
”... His Highness Linus. I was sent to Zebrast all of a sudden when I didn't really know how to behave. From now on, it's unscrupulous, saying that we have the country's hindsight and the protection of King Zebrast doesn't allow everything.”
The demon king's education was arguably unscrupulous, even in Irfena.
But that's because I was a magician.
It was the end of thinking about 'what kind of education would be best' based on what was to come.
”What we were asked for is results. So I used everything, not just myself.... didn't hesitate to kick someone else down. If I wanted to say more, I needed to protect myself.”
……
His Highness Linus is silent. Things are different. He also decided how to be, so I guess he has a past that has kept others quiet. All because of the Lord, whom I have ordained.
”It's a fatal situation if you show a gap, something you're desperate to wear as a courtesy. That's why I was who I am now. You can kick somebody's ass, but you can choose who you are.”
”... and you have no regrets? Whether it's called an outer road or hostile from someone.”
”You say strange things. No matter how hard I try, it doesn't change the fact that I'm a different world. It's a mistake to seek understanding around you. Instead of being depressed about it, I'm proud to be a man of my own free will.”
”There is knowledge unique to people from different worlds, and even knowledge of this world is combined by learning” and ”Lending and connecting to Zebrest”. Those two are the biggest weapons the Demon King has ever given me.
The teacher's teaching of ”try to get used to the surroundings” is also important, but the knowledge of the other world can overwhelm the other.
The point is the question of where to use it and how to show it. Because I and Glenn are powerful because I used knowledge from different worlds while building on the common sense of this world.
The Demon King taught me that throwing me into the rear palace of Zebrast turns facts that can only be negative elements into advantages. It also means' bringing value to myself to improve my position in this world '.
Though it is imperative that I acquire such a way, the situation would be unusual as a different world person right now. Sometimes you may be a magician, but you can refuse even if you ask for something.
From a conscious demon king named the royal family of Ilfena, we can say that it is a response to breaking the law... If we want to avoid harming the country, we need neither wisdom nor strength, and if we value the position of the demon king himself, we should keep him as a pawn and kill him.
”I thank the Demon King for giving me freedom... and Ilfena for allowing it. This case, if the Demon King wants it, we'll let him go to the ideal settlement, won't we?
That's a lot of loyalty.
”Loyalty? Isn't it natural to strip your fangs for a parent cat who will wrap them in fur and protect them from day to day? Above all, I made that choice myself… I'm the one who bears any consequences.”
If you say you've been tamed, I'll laugh at the guy who said it. How many people can protect themselves without forgetting their position?
At least he who lines up the beauty will not understand, and those who are in the same position as the Demon King will be admired for having more to bear. - I was wondering if I could give a choice to a handkerchief I could use.
And I'm not talking about this for my own sake. Because there are people who see themselves as responsible for what they could not be praised for if left alone.
'Self-responsibility'. Even the otherworlds fit in. The demon king's education has forcibly erased the option of 'remaining stupid if you are unwilling'. In that sense I have something that leads to royalty.
'I can't keep it that way because I'm a demon conductor,' said the Demon King. The same goes for royalty.
If incompetent, it becomes a weakness of the country, and even existence is at stake. I guess that's why it's for the person to learn what's necessary and to be careful what they say and do.
Felix has rejected the opportunity to learn it by his own will. Then it is Felix himself who bears the consequences.
”Felix... you can't start all over again.”
I hear His Highness Linus correctly perceived what I was trying to say.
Al nods to His Highness Linus, who somewhere says lonely and leans down.
”This is a matter of country to country. 'I didn't try to know', not 'I didn't know', or 'I kept rejecting the advice'. There is no room for sympathy, if there is one, do you expect their future?”
”Does that... mean you want to be ahead of Felix and the others?
”Yes, it can be a punishment in itself.”
His Highness Linus seeped some relief into Al's words. On the contrary, it is like affirming that 'Irfena would never wish to be executed'. It's the same thing you're saying you'll be given another chance to start over.
... Well, it might be easier for the Felix and the others to die.
And it was the Demon King who made that decision. From the Felix and the others, it would be a tough culprit. But from the others, it's a very sweet decision.
It's probably not just about Felix, but about the mood of King Baraksin and His Highness Linus.
”I see, then the Felix and the others will live longer no matter how bad you see them. Sounds a lot harder, but does the Wizard, who is nostalgic to His Highness the Demon King, create that situation?
”I'm sorry you can't do that. It's synonymous with disaster, isn't it? What if you can't make one or two impossible things possible?”
His Royal Highness Linus laughs as he laughs. It was something that looked slightly younger, not uncommon or distressing.
... It's a secret that I secretly thought I'd show my brother my memory later.
”By the way. If this night club is set for those two, don't you think we don't need a disturber?
”... I wholeheartedly agree, Mizuki. And you have to talk to your parents later.”
Al also smiled and nodded at me as I suddenly changed the subject and chuckled at him. Of course, that's not a 'nice knight' laugh. It's a really fun laugh.
His Highness Linus leaned more and more toward how we were.
”Hmm... guardian, is that your brother? Or the mother?
”No, 'sweet grandpa' and I did. It's a cheap stage for the Academic Club Modki, but you don't need a parent who wouldn't admit it if it wasn't your favorite muscle writing.”
”You have trouble getting away with it, don't you? I was wondering if it would be best if you waited here in a separate room.”
”Right, I want you to wait till the end with special treatment.”
It's a special treatment, but then there's a parental interview with the Demon King. It makes sense if you don't set up an opportunity to get to know an otherworlder named me.
Either way, the culprit should be safe. There is no sin in this case, but there is no such thing as the option of being intact.
”And that's why you lure me out”
”Ha!?
Pong, and place one hand on the shoulder of His Highness Linus.
”I would love to. That's right... while I didn't like it, I said, 'The demon conductor is uncomfortable with Felix. If you're a kind grandfather, why don't you go apologize?”
