The Magician Wants Normality - Chapter 521

Ilfena Royal Castle, in a certain room

After all the work, the lord of the room, King Irfena, snorted his head.

Due to the Harvis incident, work is more likely to be delayed than usual. We can’t afford to neglect them, and he was doing his job today.

In addition, his son’s forced rest is spurring the busyness. Even though it’s been a few days, it can be quite a pain in the ass for a brilliant person to miss.

“That being said, unless you force Elle to do so, she’ll be back right away…”

The second prince, desperate to establish his place, tended to work too hard.

Of course, I’m not saying it’s a bad idea. There are quite a few things that need to be done to maintain the country.

But in the case of the Second Prince, Elshion, things were a little different.

I think that contributing to the country is the only existential value. What made me do that was the attitude of the people around me towards him.

It was also a duty of royalty, so the surrounding adults were too late to realize it.

By the time he realized it, he had become a fine workaholic.

Elshion’s direct knights became his class too.

As a result, adults regretted [the demon king] and [the worst sword] because they weren’t alone.

Compared to them, they are one man. Although it was necessary to be desperate, adults did not want to be able to build walls from others even within their own country.

”I guess I was really trying my best at the last minute, huh?”

Mizuki seems to laugh at the content, but from the perspective of those who were stained by the temperament of the country of Ilfena, Elshion and others were “overdone”.

In addition, it is disastrous that it did not stop there, which leads to Spartan education for Mizuki.

Behind the affectionate Spartan education, which was said to be “too much” from everyone’s eyes, there is such a thing.

In a nutshell, “Because no one stopped Elshion and the others.”

Now I can say it like a laughingstock, but Elshuon and the others didn’t know what to add or subtract without joking.

It was a harm because it had only a minimal relationship with others. Elshuon himself may have been the standard of education for Mizuki, but in a sense, it can’t be helped.

… well, Mizuki seemed to have the personality and ability to adapt to it, so she didn’t see any particular problems.

However, if I made a mistake, there was also a possibility that I would be pessimistic about my life… Mizuki’s character, which is often regarded as a problem, was a salvation for the surrounding adults.

Although it is true that people from other worlds need education, it would be a bad idea to hunt down life until it is pessimistic.

It is not good to have affection. It will be criticized by other countries. Elshion and the others must have gotten even more bad reputation.

… yes, that’s for sure. ‘There are exceptions’.

If we fall into this kind of situation, that education will greatly affect Mizuki’s evaluation.

“Excuse me.”

“Oh, Albert.”

“Everyone who came from all over the world has returned, so please report to us.”

Yeah.

The King breathes a sigh of relief at the report from the Commander of the Knights. Most people who personally visit Ilfena have a duty to return home safely. I didn’t lose my temper.

“They will report to their country from now on. Well, this time it was quite flavorful, so you won’t complain.”

Before the founding of the city, it was personal to visit Irfena.

“I can’t help it.” It’s just that some people who don’t think well can’t avoid dislike. ”

Compared to the country, it is not a monolith. There is a certain number of people who suddenly take a vacation, or royalty, who come to explore.

It was the [mission] of those who visited Irfena until they succeeded and dodged the verbal attack of the opponent.

I’m sorry to say, but they’re using Mizuki as an excuse to come to Ilfena in the middle of a fight with Harvis.

…… After bringing information of that period to my own country, I’m sure that those who are unfaithful will come out, saying that they have gained merit by outperforming their surroundings.

Of course, those who came to Ilfena knew that.

Ilfena favored them because of these circumstances. You came to this country knowing that you were going to be annoying. Let’s be friendly.

“Flaunting the connection between information and the mage.” Countries that know the details of this case will attach more importance than ever to the connection with Elcheon and the Mage. ”

The Commander of the Knights slightly clouded his expression at the king’s words. In contrast, the king smiled slightly in his mouth.

“It’s joyful information for people like us, and from the perspective of the adults who watch over them, it’s probably not very good.”

“…… Nevertheless, she is a prince, and Mizuki calls herself His Highness’s subordinate.”

“That’s right, that’s why ‘Mizuki can make cruel choices’ is a pleasure.”

Mizuki has been calling his adversary a “toy”, and he has suffered quite a lot.

However, no matter how competent she was, she was only a civilian, and it was the ‘righteous’ who were the ones who were ultimately punished.

“Mizuki is a mentally strong child from the beginning. And wise. So… I don’t know. When she’s in trouble,” Can I kill someone? ”

It is not a question of being capable or impossible. “If that happens, can you do it without hesitation?”

Whether you are a knight or a sorcerer, there are times when you have to make a choice to “kill people” more than serve the country.

Royalty, too. Without direct action, you end your life – it can be like a clan ruling party, ordering multiple deaths.

But no matter how much Irfena protects us, Mizuki is only a civilian. There is no such obligation, and there is no ‘need to be in such a situation’.

……

If you think about it normally.

“As for the brother and wife of the King of Gania, Elle initially commanded them to ‘protect His Highness Shuangze’.” I think I can divide it into “necessary things”. ”

“That wasn’t enough?”

“Ah, not enough. I… no, what people in my position want from Mizuki, who is a mage, is’ can you kill me without an order ‘”

I don’t need it. However, after showing up as a “talented token”, it was common for people to ask for more.

Mizuki’s awareness of the crisis will increase, but if such a thing is required, “I don’t want to do it” will be enough.

This is the biggest reason why Elshion is called overprotective. While overprotective parents and cats were educated, they did not seek the same work as their immediate knights.

Therefore, it is said that ‘Mizuki is sweet’. Even though I tailored it to a usable token, I wouldn’t let it get dirty.

… but…

“No, no, no… she’s fun!” Our troubles were a complete melancholy, wasn’t they? ”

Is that… that Harvis’s fortress fell to you?

“Yeah, sure, I’m not actively taking a life.” But I’m ready to die. And I can’t even take advantage of that…! ”

It is undoubtedly a joy to be mingled with the king’s voice. Compared to the Commander of the Knights, somewhere they are proud.

No, in fact, these two are delighted… ‘She was also a human being on our side!’

“To heal the wounds, and not to kill anyone,” said El and his companions, “not to be rebuked.” If it’s this far, I can tell you that I just threatened you. ”

“But the essence is’ retaliation ‘.” The knights who should be said to be my own people, said, “I trampled on my knighthood.”

“I guess that’s why I let those who were defending the fort choose.” Do you risk your life to go to the forest at night or not?

If you take pride in protecting your country, you will risk your life to run through the forest at night.

It is the “choice of the Harvis soldiers themselves”, and it is also a proof of loyalty to duty.

Harvis feared his country would be downgraded and had no choice but to praise his soldiers for their choices.

I couldn’t blame a mage for putting me in such a situation.

“She knew what kind of fate the soldiers would follow.” Including what Harvis will decide…. even if you don’t order me, I can kill you. If it’s for the ‘best results’. ”

Mizuki was originally said to be a demon animal and a foreign road, but that was not the case.

This time, it became clear that “if it is because of the result I want, I will take actions that are not to be taken at a bad level”.

That’s why these adults are happy. If we are to be near Elshion, then we must be cruel.

“Princess Celestina will learn these things from now on. Princess Lillian, too. But they… at least if Mizuki wants to hang out with people she’s close to right now, it’s a must.”

“In that sense, it is regrettable that Princess Tirucia is not a boy.” My talent, my readiness, my loyalty… I could not hold the nobles because I was a princess with them. ”

“On the contrary, why don’t you think about it?” Because you’re a princess, you can live and get along with Mizuki. ”

Certainly, that’s how you see it.

It will be important to have a kindness for life. But sometimes it is the side that reapes life in order to keep the country alive.

It’s a position that you can’t do without being beautiful. When you need to be prepared for it, it is difficult for you to shake off “the importance of life”.

But Mizuki could prioritize things… and understand that sometimes cruelty is necessary.

It is cruelty that she must have if she chooses to remain with her beloved pro-cat.

“Well, Albert, I’ve finished my work and I hope you haven’t had a drink with me in a long time. I want to celebrate this joyful day.”

“I’m sorry, but I just need you to take a look at the paperwork I just brought in.”

……

“I’ll ask Mizuki to make me some knobs while I get rid of it.”

Likes!

As soon as he heard of it, the king proceeded to work on the documents piled up in front of him. Too soon, the Commander of the Knight Regiment was stunned…… I remembered that it was not bad to exchange drinks with friends after a long time.

Then, in order to ask Mizuki for a pinch of sake, I left the scene behind.

The adults are watching the children. That’s because while they want to grow, they want them to choose their side.

Parent cats will have a head for the joy of adults, but it will seem like a trivial thing someday.

The black kitten wants to be next to the golden cat. It is not only the wish of the golden cats, but also of the hounds.
