Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint

The words I couldn’t bear to say turned into smoke and scattered into the air. The short magic candle extinguished as quickly as its length. I looked up at the sky and muttered, except for the magic candle, which had almost one word left.

“Leah. They say I will die in the near future.”

“…okay?”

“And the king of men is said to be reborn. They say that is the king of sin.”

“who? how?”

“I don’t know who will do it. I really don’t know what to do. But I kind of know why. Maybe… he wants to defeat the evil.”

Perhaps a little surprised, Historia took a quick breath and burned all the magic herbs.

“Can you defeat Sin…?”

“I do not know. But maybe that’s what you want to believe? Just like you became a grown-up with gritted teeth because you wanted something like Hamelin to end.”

Historia shut her mouth. I forgot that the magic herb was all burnt out and tried to put it in my mouth with trembling hands.

I couldn’t let her eat the ashes, so I pulled Historia’s hand. Black eyes and eyes met.

“Huey, could you… prevent what happened in Hameln?”

“maybe.”

“Why didn’t you stop?”

“Because it hasn’t happened yet.”

“You can’t stop it after it happens.”

“So I couldn’t stop it.”

Is it because I answered too lightly? Historia let go of my hand. Historia touched her forehead and said as if pleading.

“I… I don’t know. why do you have to do that day off. Can’t we be a little more normal? Even if you’re not the king of humans… you don’t have to go anywhere.”

be normal

I’m already normal Because he is the king of men. With human skills, it is possible to do it roughly, and it is kind enough to live in harmony with it. That’s it.

But Historia or… that’s not what ‘she’ wants. They are hoping for something quite different from the human beings of today. Something far nicer and far sweeter.

Humans don’t do that, so I can’t.

“Leah. thank you. For helping me without questioning the reason or anything.”

“lie.”

“Even I have a feeling of gratitude. Humans are not such shameless creatures.”

“…bare mouth?”

“What do you want?”

For an instant, something flashed through Historia’s mind. It was a bit one-dimensional and instinctive wind. I would never have said it normally, but it was at that time that the words did not stop and were about to come out of my mouth.

“Nya. stupid bitch. Can’t you solve this too?”

Before I knew it, the butterfly was on top of the steel beetle. Historia regained her sanity and swallowed her words. It probably wouldn’t matter if I said it. Even the cat’s eyes seem to care.

The butterfly, which looked around roughly, raised its claws. I put my claw in the gap of the misaligned cogwheel and pulled it out as if I was trying to get it out and put it aside. A large cogwheel flies sideways and falls down there. Butterfly lay down in front of him and waited for something.

“bruise! Liberate me!”

Aji jumped through the gap in the missing gear. Aji, who had been chewing on cogs in vain inside the steel beetle, trembled when he regained his freedom.

“I hate us! I hate bondage! Woof woof! Dark and lonely!”

Butterflies are more adept at using their forepaws than Aji. And beasts that use their front paws are relatively friendly with tools. It must be because of that. Butterflies seem smarter than Aji.

Butterfly looked down at Aji and laughed.

“what. Are you a stupid asshole? You idiots are fighting with each other, but you’re sticking your teeth first.”

“bruise! I’m bitten! need help! Also, I hate that smell! It smelled like iron!”

“Is that stupid? Whether you like it or not, there is no reason to get involved when other animals are bickering. Isn’t it best to just watch the food and sneak a peek?”

Butterfly slightly raised her hand. In the meantime, magic candles are stuck in his nails. That cat guy enjoyed everything he enjoyed while we were away.

Aji shook his head and pointed at me.

“I won’t! Keep your promise! Then humans keep their promises!”

“Nya-nah. stupid bitch. You must have forgotten all your promises.”

The butterfly laughed, snapping at the nail in which the magical herb was inserted. Aji groaned violently.

“bruise! no! I remember!”

“Nya-nya-nyang. Anyway, is it okay? Promises are only kept when it benefits Nya. There is no king who will keep his promises. Humans must have forgotten all their promises.”

“no! no! Remember Human! look!”

Aji barked loudly at the words of the butterfly and denied it. The butterfly snorted, but Aji came to me wagging her tail.

Aji, the dog king, has followed me without a single doubt. The kind, benevolent beast looked confident that I would remember the promise. With a smile on his face, he brought out a promise he had made a long time ago.

“I will protect you. you protect me too I believe in you, and you help me too.”

If you are a human, you will wag your tail unconditionally, and you will never attack or kill whether it is a bad person or a good person. This may be seen as a disadvantage, but the advantages far outweigh. A target that can be trusted unconditionally is so good to use.

Aji is definitely the dumbest and most powerful hukou in the world. No matter how deceived I am, I will not give up my faith in humans, including myself.

“I will love you. You love me too.”

By comparison, I am the king of men, but now that I have lost most of my powers, I have no obligation to answer. Life always takes precedence over promises.

However, we cannot just laugh at that pure yet ‘artificial’ belief.

perhaps.

“-then the bad wolf won’t hurt you.”

Aji might be my future self.

Aji’s big eyes look at me. I reached out my hand and stroked Aji’s head.

“Yes, remember.”

“bruise? remember? So, are you going to hunt the wolf with me?”

“huh. someday.”

He assured me with a trusting expression, but Aji tilted his head and asked.

“bruise? sometime? when?”

“Because I will do it someday.”

“When is sometime?”

“When you relax a bit. you’re busy right now look. People over there came again.”

I pointed at the crowd approaching from far away. soldiers of the military

It seems that Maximilien approached this place and ordered not to intervene, but it was clear that the fight was over, but Maximilien was nowhere to be seen, so he came to investigate the situation.

Aji looked dissatisfied with something. But even if I say this, I have no choice but to believe it. Because dogs have become such animals.

“bruise! Someday definitely!”

“okay. It must be.”

If I can. Reassuring Aji, I stared at the group of soldiers through the cogs. A general in a dirty officer’s uniform was leading the group.

“…You are at peace. Smoking magic weed in the middle of the headquarters!”

Oh, we met eyes While I hid the magic candle behind me, the general shouted with a dignified face.

“Correspondent!”

Then, a signalman in uniform appeared from the side. It was quite familiar, because it was a face I had met at Module Eye of the Communications Headquarters.

The communications soldier looked at the general as if he was overwhelmed by the atmosphere emanating from him.

“I am Captain Ip, a military communications officer.”

“Is the restraining order still in effect?”

“Please wait a moment…”

Communications officer Ip closed his eyes for a moment and focused his mind. IP, which finished the communication, replied as it had been accepted.

“That’s right. Command is maintaining a restraining order at this address.”

“now! Even if you’re attacked, you’re telling me to let go and stay still!”

“Heeep!”

The communications soldier, who received the general’s spirit head-on, was frightened. I glanced at Historia and said.

“hey. Leah. you’re a succulent What does that person do?”

Historia looked at the signalman and muttered.

“Lieutenant General Mexio. One rank higher than me.”

“shit. Why is your rank so low even though you are a succubus?”

“General Yuk has sole operational control, but ranks are set separately. It’s not that status gives growth.”

“The other five other than you are all captains.”

“…because they’re all active people since the early days of the military.”

uh just scratched a bit. Shall I scrape a little more?

“I heard that those people were captains from the beginning of the military? You’ve been commissioned for a while, but you’re only a major general?”

“Because you were only a warden, I betrayed you and joined you. If you were a captain, I would have caught you and imprisoned you at the headquarters.”

You are cowardly using your heart’s debt. I wrote it here, so I won’t pay it back later.

“They said they had sole operational rights. Try using that.”

“well. do you want to do it?”

I don’t think it will. I nodded in agreement.

Is it because we ignore existence too much? Lieutenant General Mexio, who was furious, approached with great strides despite the restraining order.

“I can’t stand it any longer! Isn’t the army exploding? Isn’t the mysterious snake crushing my men! In the meantime, the traitor is calmly sucking on the magical herb, but just watch! Does that make sense!”

“Lieutenant General Me Mexio, there is currently a restraining order here…”

“Noisy!! communication sickness. This is a quasi-war situation! Since when did a captain or something like that obey the orders of a general?!”

“I’m sorry for the sin…”

The communication soldier who faced the world with his bare body seemed to be going through a lot of hardships. A weak girl who had to actively warn Vice Admiral Maxio, but had only authority, could not overcome the pressure of the general.

There is a reason why the communication soldier communicated through the golem.

“To begin with, being a communications soldier so unreliable…” The

general’s criticism pierced the ears of Captain I.P., who bowed his head. There was nothing to say to Captain Ip, who ran away as if possessed by something after the communications headquarters was completely destroyed.

“All troops. set. detain the target If you resist, you may use force. Hey Historia! are you listening If you’re not going to fight the whole army, be patient and accept the aura! If you resist, your boyfriend might be in danger!”

“…”
