135 Episode 31: The Corruption Between Similar Things (2/2)
”Yep. So if you say or do something stupid, I'll be angry. It's not just sweet.”
”... you're pissed off, me”
”Naturally. Your wishes, your life, everything is not your own anymore. So trust him, Anis. Times are changing. Still, I can't say I'll ever admit it, because I won't let you deny it without a head.”
”Yeah......”
I left myself intact to Yufi and closed my eyes to sweetness. I want to be drowning in this warmth, as I wish.
Yufi gave me plenty of comfort and I managed to return the next day as well. The problem with demon stones is headaches. I also know it's not very acceptable. Still, it's worth studying. This research is a technology for the Kingdom of Palettia.
I can make an effort to convey it and find out if I can't do something about the nature of the Demon Stone. When I was putting my temper back in that way, a rare visitor came to the outhouse.
”Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere, we have a visitor in sight”
”Huh? Customers?
”- Dear Anis! You must be here! Let me tell you something!
”Tilty!?”
As I chatted with Uffi and the others at the salon, the samurai reported a guest visit. Guess who? and leaning his neck, it was Tilty, a friend of the corrupt, who showed up shaking off the maids trying to stop him.
”Tilty, why are you out of the palace? What kind of blow are you?
”Because they called me! Oh, Her Majesty Queen Uphilia. In a good mood.”
”Well done for coming, Tilty”
”Huh? Yufi called Tilty?
I tilt my neck because Yufi is not surprised and usually welcomes Tilty in. When did you call Tilty? Or don't come in shaking off the samurai.
Give instructions to the samurai who tried to stop Tilty to step back and let Tilty sit in his seat. Behind that Tilty follows the usual maid like a shadow.
Her Majesty the Queen of Uphilia told me earlier that she was on her feet.
”At the very least, come back after you've touched it!?”
”I don't want you to tell me! I heard more than that! Why didn't you bring me a story when you started studying demon stones?
Bang, and Tilty slapping the desk hard. Then you hurt your hand with it. You're holding your own hand and moaning. You're as poor as ever... not!
”Uffi, did you tell Tilty?
”Yep. Except for Annis and Raini.”
”... but that's true”
Basically, what you don't want to do is Tilty like being killed and not doing it. I've been given a medical exam, but I'm just taking it because it's also in Tilty's interest.
But if it's about demon stones, does Tilty eat it? This was also a blind spot. Well, you think we're friends on the brink of corruption, but you don't want to be certain when they say we're close...
”He didn't even show up because he was usually in a cage.”
”That's terrible, not me and you.”
”You know as much as I have to choose who to talk to because there's confidentiality involved!?”
”You don't have to tell me that!?”
”Inversely girred!? Oh, that's why I don't like the high tension Tilty! You don't listen to people!
”... Anis says it?
”It's similar to each other...”
”It's just a fellow hater.”
Uffi, Raini, Ilia in the field, shut up!
”Just mix it up with me!
”Huh?”
I had such a voice in the words that jumped out of Tilty's mouth. What do you say when you suddenly come?
”Mix me with the study of demon stones too, Master Anis!
”You don't have to tell me twice to find out! You suddenly say you can't!?”
”Can't you?
…………
... Regrettably and abominably, I am very unwilling, but I find it more comforting to invite Tilty, who was involved in establishing the technique of engraving and stamping.
”... but it's not even a drawer cage, you. I'm not in the king's capital right now, am I?
”If you want me to follow you to the City of Magic, I'll go, okay?
”Are you insane? It's also a fever!?”
”Excuse me!?”
”What is Miss Jimmy Mushroom saying!
What do poor people say that they don't even like to get sunlight! No, trying to get out is a good thing though!?
”Isn't that good? Anis.”
”Uffi, you didn't mean to call Tilty?
”It's also a loan to the rumored Marquis Clairette that he's haunting his head about his beloved daughter, and most importantly, he thought with Anis' report. Now the most demonic stones in this country are the likes of Tilty.”
”... Huh?
”The Demon Stone feeds on the dyeing magic dyed by the Spirit. Then I thought if we used this principle successfully, we could use it for Tilty's constitution.”
”... ahhh!? That's the way to make use of it!
Tilty is a nasty physique that when he congenitally tries to use magic, he breaks the magical balance of his soul and goes mad. Not many of the nobles of the Kingdom of Palettia have symptoms like Tilti.
In the case of Tilty, the use of magic is caused by excessive magic being taken by the Spirit. So Tilty hates it enough to curse magic. The only downside to sealing magic when using Demon Stone is where Tilty wants it.
Turn around, Demon Stone could be the hope of those who suffer from symptoms like Tilty. Think that far. Maybe Uffi called me Tilty.
”I myself, I'm not trying to cure my physique. If you can't use magic, that's fine, right? I think it would be interesting to study Demon Stone. Her Majesty Queen Uphilia wants to borrow my wisdom and sell thanks to your father by putting me in an official position. If I were to officially join the nation's organization, my father would welcome me at will, wouldn't he?
”You're a problem child in a drawer cage...”
”Thanks”
”I didn't praise you!?”
But it's true that Tilty would be helpful if he came, not just to study demon stones. Her knowledge is different from mine, so it's easy to get opinions from a different perspective. Besides, it is also a rare person who can perform medical examinations of Uffi and Raini.
Tilty and I don't fundamentally fit the idea, but that's not why there's a rejection. Rather, it's someone you think you can hold hands with. If we can do research together, no one is more comfortable with us.
”... or call me if you're in trouble. It looks like such an interesting study, you should have called me. For once, I'm still one of your few friends.”
Hmm, and Tilty turning that way with his nose ringing. Its cheeks are slightly reddish because its skin is originally morbidly white.
”... because I definitely have more friends than Tilty, right?
”Ugh, shut up! Anyway, I'm telling you I'm gonna give you a hand! Look, joy!
”Aren't you disrespectful of boulders?”
Grasp each other as they chat to each other. With such a twist, Tilty decided to join the magic bureau.
