379 377 Meir and the Shadow Warrior (1/2)
”Were you going to war after we broke up?
”Um, yeah. You know that?
”I just heard a little bit. The great magicians of the earth pushed their enemies back after destroying the army of the Bashar kingdom. Were you with him?
”That's right. Well, not as a princess, but apparently as a mercenary.”
”Why?”
When I heard the story, they joined the general soldiers in concealment of their identities. Exactly, he had spoken to the commander and others, but ostensibly he joined the army as an escort for the White Rhino Rigdalfa.
”I can't move freely as a princess, and, you know, I don't know...”
'What's the matter with you?
”There was a Serene there.”
”Who's Serene?
”Serene is my royal palace samurai. I am less combative than I am, but I am a shadow fighter because I am better at illusion and my back is similar to that of a lady. Because races can be deluded with magic props.”
Could we just say hello, that Shadow Man? I wondered what happened to Serene, but if Meir were named here, he would definitely be told that he had changed from a Shadow Warrior to himself.
”Why?”
”Serene is playing, uh... that's it...”
”Serene also has orders from His Majesty the King to play the so-called princess, who is sophisticated and humble. Honestly, I was wondering how much I've fixed up and how impossible it is to play that one on a real lady. I'm pretty sure they switched it.”
I see. You won't be able to be sophisticated by Meir. And by replacing Meir and Serene, many nobles and generals find out that the person they were desperately welcoming and trying to protect with their lives was a fake. It is not natural for a princess of a great power to use shadow fighters -.
”I'm sure you can compare the lady to Serene.”
”That's tough......”
”Uhm.”
Considering the breeze of the kingdom of the beast, I also feel that the casual and flattering type like Meir is likely to please me. But I'm sure many admire the deep-window maid type.
I sure don't like being compared. It might break my heart if I were you.
However, questions remain.
”Why are you letting Shadow Warriors play such a character again?
In the first place, why is a girl named Serene, that shadow warrior, acting like that impossible? Wouldn't it be a problem if that shadow fighter played a mare-like, active girl?
As things stand, Meir's reputation would feel like a softie, less combative boxed girl. When the real Meir comes out on the table in the future, won't he be slapped inside the Beast Man? 'Cause all of a sudden, you're a good fighter, aren't you?
To my question, Meir nods in tune.
”Do you think so too, Master? It's still weird, isn't it? Isn't a Shadow Warrior something more like him?
He thinks so, too. But Quina answered my question well in advance.
”It's His Majesty's hobby.”
”Huh? Hobbies?
”Yes. Let Serene think she's real, and when the lady finds out she's real, she says she's looking forward to everyone's reaction.”
”Guru. That damn father...!
When it comes to looking like a beast king, it looks like a beast king... I feel sorry for the guys around me.
”And then there will be the perception of the lady, or the teasing.”
”Are you kidding?”
”Yes, you will be enjoying watching Serene behave softly, looking just like herself, and watching a depressed or illuminated lady”
”It's a bad hobby! That father!
”Besides, if you get that wrong, you'll be less worried about finding out who your daughter is.”
Oh, you mean that. Unlike regular shadow fighters, you're a Meir shadow fighter doing adventurers outside. Instead, there seemed to be an aim to prevent Meir's identity from being exposed by guiding her image to a different type,
It's about the Beast King, so I guess it's true why it seems interesting.
'I see you joined in hiding your identity, but how was the fight itself?
”I don't care what they say...... Honestly, we barely fought.”
'Cause we just chased away our destructive enemies.'
