141 Another Story: Cursed Lady Speaks Out 02 (2/2)

”... if you'd told me that from the beginning, wouldn't there have been any rebellion?

”Do you even want to be a herded livestock? It doesn't make sense to just eat what you're given. Magic is made by knowing the laws of the devil. Our ultimate goal is a demonic realm.”

”Ma, demon...”

”Yes, I mean, Master Anis or Master Uphilia. It's quick to get off the road.”

Sharne shrugged her mouth to Tilty, who laughed Kerakera, and silenced her. Tilty gave a soothing look when she was having trouble seeing how Charne could react to an attitude that was too disrespectful.

Dark red eyes seemed like bottomless darkness. Sharne shook her shoulder unexpectedly as she peered deep into it. I'm going to get dragged in like this, and I can't distract myself.

”It's not like you should quit.” Nobody can give up this much. ”Dear Anis and Uphilia, they just came off so they could come off. Every man has a monster within himself. It's up to you to wake it up or leave it untouched. Remember, Charne.”

Softly Tilty put her hand on Charne's shoulder and told her to whisper in her ear.

”-” Being a human being is surprisingly neighboring. We. ”

”... something depressing?

”To?”

Charne was still coming to Tomas' workshop under construction. Whether it is still unfinished, the workshop, which is almost complete, is being loaded with tools brought in by Tomas and others.

Here, the magic items that Anisphere wants to create will be made one after the other. The workshop that serves as its production base may be referred to as a dream chest.

As Tilty told me, I would be using a bow in the future... ”You could call it a demon bow. I was coming to a meeting with Tomas to make a new demon prop.

Tilty at heart just dispersed because she had business to do. So Tomas, who had been instructed by Tilty, had a meeting with Charne, but Tomas accidentally changed the subject and asked Charne.

”Um, the...”

”I can't seem to get a good look at you.... Not in a hurry if you're tired. Maybe another time.”

A man named Tomas Ghana is an unfathomable man. I guess it's because he's a blacksmith and has a lot of hard work, but his body has muscles and he looks bigger than people. Thomas knew that that appearance can make people feel oppressed.

That's why Tomas wasn't just a noble lady, he couldn't figure out how to handle a girl named Charne.

In response to Thomas' inquiry, Charne has been silenced. He seemed worried about how to answer it appropriately. Tomas stands quietly until Charne utters the word.

”... sorry”

”No, fine.... if you have any problems, you can ask.”

Usually, it's easy to get acquainted with people like Anisphere and Uphilia who show a year-to-year look like Charne because they talk to non-standard people.

That's why I made a suggestion that if you're worried about it, you might want to take care of it. If Anisphere were here, they'd say that Tomas is kind of your favorite.

”... for Mr. Tomas, do you think it's magic?

Kew, and. Charne, who held his fist on his lap, asks Tomas.

Tomas raised his eyebrows only slightly to what Charne asked him. Once, lay your eyes down and put your arms together. For the time being, Tomas, who was silent to choose the words, slowly opened his mouth.

”... magic belongs to nobles, for us... right. It's convenient and scary.”

”Something scary?

”Ah. The power of magic is amazing, something we can't use when we stand up against civilians. In fact, that's why it's amazing what a magical nobleman can do, and I think we should be thankful if that's helping our lives.... and at the same time, it's horrible to think it could be directed at us.”

”Oh no...”

Charne's whining words had sounds with multiple meanings. Anger similar to counter-invention that I would not do such a thing. And I'm surprised that being able to use magic can also be a symbol of fear.

Viscount Persimon territory, the home territory of Charne, could indeed be described as a pastoral territory. The main source of income is the meat of the beast, which is dominated by hunting, and the materials obtained from the demons that appear. I was living like that, moisturizing my farmland with fertilizers I bought on that income and so on.

The fact that Viscount Persimon was a warm figure would also be one reason why the territory became pastoral. That's why even with gratitude and respect for the lord, Charne couldn't figure out that his magical skill could be the object of awe.

”Charne doesn't have the nobility I know.”

”Aristocracy...?

”Civilians use it in their jaws. Naturally, there are many such aristocrats. I don't know if it's just Wang Du.”

For Tomas, nobility was tyranny, and if we worked disrespect, we were opponents who could easily threaten our lives and so on. Thomas himself, there were times when he thought of the aristocrats and hated them.

Though Tomas' own aversion to nobility is moderated by his encounter with the Anisphere, aversion and fear are not the same thing. Even if there is less panning for nobility, it has not even changed to the walls themselves due to differences in identity.

”The aristocracy is magical. The magic is an overwhelming force, unusable to civilians. It's easy to do something about us.”

……

”I know Charne's not the guy to do that. Still, sometimes I think we're different creatures just because we have magic.”

A different creature. Thomas' words shocked Charne less.

Nobility, civilians. Respect, the same person, even in a respected relationship. At least that's what Charne thinks.

Even at a time when the territory was suffering from hunger, it had nothing to do with its identity, whether it was noble or civilian.

We can't get tomorrow's food without everyone working. So we put our hands together and tried to overcome our predicament.

The inhabitants are like family. Even if there's no blood connection, they're still people to protect. Charne thought that being a nobleman, that's why he had to take the initiative.

That's why I thought I had to work hard because I was given that power, that magic power is a great power.

But - sometimes magical powers, they don't. Charne realized for the first time at this time that people were afraid of each other and could become objects that could keep them away from each other.

Being ”-” inhuman ”is surprisingly next to each other. We. '

Earlier, Tilty shrugged me so that the words would creep into Charne's ear and never leave.
