Maou No Utsuwa

When he arrived at the orphanage with Otto, Kamui was quickly on his way to the bishop's place. To get permission to put Otto in an orphanage.

"Why don't you take care of the orphan?

"Yes. I brought one"

"What are you doing?"

The bishop is also shy of Kamui's sudden offer. Anyway, it's decided there's something behind it. That was obvious to the bishop who knew Kamui well.

"But he's an orphan without a shadow. Then it wouldn't be weird to put it here, would it?

"Well, yeah. So, what about the orphan?

"You're right in front of me, aren't you?

Next to Kamui stands Otto.

"... it looks about your age, doesn't it?

"Oh, it's my classmate Otto"

"Hey?! Why are college students orphaned?!

While national, Royal College tuition is a foolish amount. The bishop knows that it is not a place where orphans without themselves can pass.

"It's not weird, is it? I was a student at the academy before I was an orphan."

"It's not the same again."

"Look at that. Don't you think it's pathetic that you don't even have anything to wear?

Otto's outfit remains the same as when he was taken out of the mansion. Dressed naked in a cloak.

"... I don't care how much you don't have to wear, how about a cloak?

"I have no choice. You don't have any wealth."

"No?

"Oh, not one pair of pants"

"... then you know you can't take it on, right?

With a bitter face, the bishop spoke of this.

I need a donation to get into the orphanage. The bishop himself is not convinced at all, but he has to abide by more than that is the rule that is set in the Church. Though only superficially.

"There must be an exception."

"But. In this year."

"Well, I've got a solution for that."

"What, is that"

"I can't do it with instant money, so pay it later"

"Can we talk about that?!?

"We have proper collateral."

"Who doesn't have a pair of pants? You're not gonna say that cloak or anything, are you?

"No, she's the collateral"

Here, Kamui puts forward the elf he held back.

"Become?!" "What?

I am amazed with the bishop even to the drawn elves. That's right. This is the first time I've heard of collateral.

"She is a slave owned by Otto. I hide my ears, but she's an elf. It's too expensive for collateral value."

"Don't be ridiculous! You think the orphans are slaves?! No, can someone with a slave, etc. be recognized without having to be an orphan!

"That's right, Bishop. Its noble aspirations are wonderful."

"... what are you up to?

The bishop sensibly took the smell of malice at the appearance of Kamui, who had no movement at all in his anger either.

"Listen to me till the end. Having a slave, I wonder, as a person. But slaves are allowed by law."

"That's not the problem!

"Fair enough. We're still on the way. Well, what does the bishop think of interracial marriage?

"... it doesn't matter what race it is. He thinks it depends on how he feels."

The bishop replied, with a little hesitation. In the bishop's position, it can be described as a rather thoughtful statement, but Kamui knew that the bishop would answer:

"Exactly. But interracial marriages are not permitted by law. The bishop is forgiven, but even in divinity."

"Well, yeah."

"Still, if the two loved ones want to spend time together, what can we do?

"No way?"

"Exactly, this is the form of love, which took the tentative form of a contract of slavery!

"Become!" "Eh!

More surprised than anyone by that Kamui dialogue is Otto and the Elf woman. And now the story. Again, the two of them were not informed at all.

"They love each other. But I can't be recognized as a partner in this world. Slavery is the only way to publicize the bond between the two."

"... how dare you come up with such bullshit"

If you look at the reaction between the two of you, everyone can see that what Kamui is saying is a lie.

"True love."

Still, Kamui insisted on it. The bishop, who is sweet to orphans for whatever reason, knows that even bullshit will forgive him.

"That's good enough. There's something wrong with you trying to push so hard. Allow me to enter the orphanage."

"Naturally, so is your beloved partner?

"It's on your own"

"Okay. Later, the guards might come, but I'll say hello then"

"What?! Hey, are you kidding me?

"No, it's not. It's the father who's guilty. Someone who was a father, to be precise. The proof of insulation is here. I mean, Otto doesn't need anything to do with it, no matter what punishment his ex-father gets."

"You know, that's why you made these things and orphaned them."

"By the way, there are a lot of other things I do about the sins my exfather is being charged with. I'm not saying that's right, but I find it odd that only some people would be guilty"

"That's good enough. I said I'd accept it, unless he was a criminal."

"That's right, Bishop. its noble."

"So I'm saying it's good. Prepare your rooms properly. [M] I'll keep this proof of insulation. When the guards arrive, we won't be talking about this without them."

"Go ahead, go ahead"

◇ ◇ ◇

With the pardon of the bishop, Kamui quickly guided Otto to the empty room. The bishop told me to prepare the room on his own.

"All right, ready."

"You didn't do anything to prepare me, did you?

"I brought you sheets. Do enough to get the bed ready yourself. Take care of yourself. This is the rule here."

"I get it. What about her room?

"You two loved ones always want to be together, don't you?

Totally, I liked this setting Kamui.

"That's because it's good. How dare you make up a story like that?

"I just applied what I was thinking a little while ago."

"Were you thinking about that story?

"I just thought about how the Demons and Elves could stay in this country safely. That's what I came up with. After all, I thought I had the strength to protect myself, so I didn't think I'd actually use it."

"I see."

"Well, what can she call it?

"Your name is Dewright."

"That's a long time. I'll wear it with Deefleet.... in Det."

"No, no, that's not a woman's name at all."

"Anything is fine. It's not my real name anyway."

"What? Really?" "You know what?

From beside Otto, who returns the voice of doubt, the elf woman has also thrown an inquiry at Kamui.

"Naturally. You said I was the son of a lord of the Nort End, right?

"Right. I heard the story, but it's a good place."

"Poor though."

"What do you mean?

With all the abstract words, Otto has no idea what he's talking about.

"Otto and Deto are going to be together for a long time, so I think you should know?

"It would be good"

What Kamui is trying to say is that it is a unique habit of the Elves and that it is not too widely known to be troublesome. Kamui asked permission to speak to Deelight.

"Then I'll explain briefly. The Elves have the name of the table and the name behind them. The name on the back is the real name, but I'm not going to tell you this."

"Why?"

"The Elves live by pledge with the Spirit. You take great care of pledges and contracts. Especially contracts made in their true names have absolute meaning and can never be broken. Because you will deny your very existence."

"Ha."

"If you abuse that, you won't be able to break any awful contract. Use the name of the table there. Still, being honest with the contract doesn't make any difference."

"I see."

"So someone who can be trusted in the margins. I never reveal my back name except for my family. That's what I'm saying."

"Okay."

"In case you ever find out about it with some kind of clap, never put it in your mouth. First name is so important to the Elves."

"Okay, I get it."

"There's a lot more to it than that, but listen to Det one by one. We'll be together all day."

"No, that's why"

Also, I thought Kamui was making fun of Otto, but he's not.

"You can't go to college anymore, can you?

"Oh, well."

"My father, the guarantor, will be gone. I have my hands on making my father a guarantor, but I think that's gonna take a lot of time. Just exchanging documents, it's going to take six months. The remaining college life is a little over a year. I might be able to learn six months, but what do you say?

"That doesn't make much sense. And not after six months."

"Then all you have to do is study here. We can teach what we learned in class. And then I'll borrow your book from the library, so study with it."

"Right. I will."

"After that, you're ahead. It's completely gone, both former and manpower."

"Right."

Be the richest man in the world. This is Otto's goal. That doesn't give up just because you've been orphaned.

"Let's think about that, too. Quick, how to get the money?

"That's stealing."

Lutz finally got into the conversation though.

"Lutz, then, you're gonna be a real criminal, right?

"No."

Naturally, Lutz's opinion is lightly dismissed.

"Others."

"Gambling"

"The winning eye is thin. Hanging is determined to be a torso win. Except if you can do 800."

I don't think so either...

"Eight hundred."

Alto reacted.

"What? Does Alto have any ideas?

"Not really."

"What's that?

"A little ahead, but there's a pretty big, then there's a bet that anyone can join. Besides, we could have eight hundred."

"Oh, I see."

"But there's a problem. Success requires some exposure"

"It's for Otto. Besides, when that's over, you'll be leaving the King's Capital soon. I'm fine with a few things."

"Right. Well, you almost found out."

"That's the thing. All right, so let's go."

Adoption is formally decided in the words of Kamui. I'm going to start moving all at once.

"Hey, I have no idea."

Otto at the heart left it behind.

"Explain it properly. But I'd like to talk to Dark before I do."

"Do you even get your hands on the back?

"That's bigger when you win, isn't it? If we're gonna do it anyway, we're gonna make a big profit."

"Then I want to do something about Dark."

"If it works, I think I can do it."

"Okay. I'll think about that one."

Maximum results if things are to happen. This is the basic idea when the Kamuis think about things.

"Well, here's the thing today, you're tired, aren't you? Get some rest."

"Ah, oh....... kamui"

"What?"

"Thanks"

Otto's face, thanking Kamui, is still going to cry.

"Otto, won't you tell me something I can do with such a serious face? Never mind. What we did is insignificant. Otto himself must open up the rest of his life."

"I know."

A grin returns to Otto's face in Kamui's words. Otto knew that when Kamui put it this way, it was time to be seriously lit.

"Then we go back to our rooms. Get some rest."

"Oh."

"Rest?"

"Oh."

"Get some rest, okay?

"What?"

"No, two loved ones in one room. 'Cause I get in trouble when I get excited and weird."

"... Then would you get me another room?

"You can't do that."

"Why?"

"Because it's not funny"

"Kamui!"

"I'm kidding. It's true that there's no room, it looks empty because there's a guy who's not coming home."

"What's that?

"There are many bad temptations. That's not all you can do. After all, that's what happens when you leave the orphanage, even when you're an adult."

"Yes."

"Well, it's good to talk slowly. Even if Otto starts the business from scratch, you two should start it anyway, right? Let's talk about that."

"Together? But for her, you'd better go to Kamui territory."

"It's not that good. It's a dangerous place, and I'm not allowed to leave that dangerous territory freely. I'm just allowed to live. If Det has the power to fight, it's still good, but how confident?

The last question was directed to Dewright.

"... None"

Show some remorse for that, Deelight answers. The young and enslaved Deelight has no power to fight. I can't help it, but I don't know if I can convince myself.

"Then the danger is not so different from the outside world either. It's about the difference between an enemy and a warcraft."

"So much?"

"Maybe you thought Nort Ende was the ideal place for demons and elves?

"A little."

This is a big mistake for Deelight. If it's the land Deelight thinks it is, there's no way people would leave it alone. It's a land where people can't live, so people don't get their hands on it.

"I want to make it an ideal land, but we're still ahead of us"

"Can you do that?

"Come on? But that's why we're here."

"Yes..."

"Well, think slowly. We still have plenty of time. Besides, Otto is going to come with us to the realm once."

"What? Really?

Otto reacted better to Kamui's story. This story is also the first for Otto.

"Even if you do business, you have something to sell, right?

"Well."

"I've been thinking a little bit about that, too. And if it goes well, Otto will have to come to the territory"

"That."

"I'll tell you what the specifics are when things go well. Let's hope, if we fail, it's bad."

"I don't know, I feel like I'm left to take care of you"

Kamui shows me the next and the next way to myself in a state where I've lost everything. Otto has both joy and pity for it.

"I hope you return it someday. in any way."

"That being said,"

"You can just show me the pretty kid's face. I think half-elf kids are cute too."

This setting will no longer disappear from Kamui.

"... hey, I also thought when you were in Serene, do you like these kamuis?

"Sort of."

Kamui's leaving the room with a wholeheartedly happy grin. The two faces left behind are complicated.

When Kamui insists on this much, he becomes aware of nature and his opponent.

"... then I'll sleep on the floor"

"No, I sleep on the floor"

"I can't let a woman do that."

"But I'm a slave"

"That's just form. Actually, that's not the relationship."

"... are you really that man's son?

His father was mocking himself as a sex slave. I'm just amazed at Otto's seriousness compared to that.

"When they say that, it's a little hectic. But he was a tough, sweet father to me."

"Right."

"I think I'm being nice to you because I feel guilty for you."

"Why?"

"Because it is my responsibility that you have become a slave. You were originally brought here as my slave, weren't you?

"It was. But you don't want me."

"Not you. I just didn't want a slave."

"Then why, your father bought me?

"It is...... Yeah, I'll tell you what it's all about, too. I had someone I liked."

Maybe telling Deelight this is a feeling of redemption for Otto.

"And how do you connect with me?

"My favorite was a slave. Someone who was a slave to his father before you."

"What?"

"I didn't know he was a slave, and he was just a child. So I told my father how I felt."

"So?"

"Looks like they misunderstood me. It's not that I like him, it's that he wants an elf slave."

So you bought me a new one.

"Yes. You resent me, don't you? What a slave I am."

"You resent me? That's a little different."

"But you were always staring at me, right?

Every time Otto was heartbroken with regret.

"That's right. Because I have a boy my age who is not so different from me, and I live a life free of one or other disabilities, and I am a slave. More hateful than resentful? Sounds like it."

"Were you..."

"Slave. How can I put it, I was a slave before I was bought into your house. I don't have to be bought by your house. They just sold it elsewhere. You can't possibly resent that."

"Yes."

The truth was as the Alts told it. Because that doesn't change Otto's purpose. Otto's ambitions do not belong to Otto alone already.

"The treatment was also better than I had heard"

"But..."

The only good treatment Deelight says is that he was not assaulted, such as being hit with a whip. I have no doubt that you will be treated as a sexual slave.

"Don't say that. I don't want to remember."

"Sorry."

"Anyway, that's the thing. You don't have to feel guilty. Either that or it's more humiliating to me to be thought of."

"Yes. Okay. You won't be able to do it right away, but I'll make sure you're unconscious."

"Oh. Can I ask you one thing? Who are those guys?

"A classmate of my Imperial College, a man of Northende and his subordinate."

"Why are you doing this to me when you're a classmate?

'Cause you're one of them.

"Friends? Is that not like friends?

"I'm a friend, but that's not all. You're one of them with the same purpose."

"What purpose?

"... sorry. I can't tell you now. It's not just my problem."

"Right."

"Sorry."

"Fine. That happens. Besides, there's a lot I can't say either."

"There's something unique about the Elves, isn't there?

Otto wants to know as much about Dewright as he can. Otto felt it would reduce his distance from the Kamui.

"Sort of. I guess I should say it's all tied up."

"Is there really an Elf Nation?

"Yes."

"Why aren't you there? It's a safe place for the Elves, isn't it?

"I can't stay anymore, so I'm in the outside world."

"That."

"Just like I said. Sometimes they are tied up. Among other things, the Elves, who have touched upon contraindications, are expelled from the country."

"Det did that, too?

"You're not me, you're my ancestor some generations ago"

"... that you're still not forgiven for that sin?

ancestors several generations before the Elves. That means a thousand years ago instead of hundreds of years. It is beyond comprehension to Otto, a human race.

"Yes. The Elves are divided into several families. A family is quite important, and that's why when someone in the family commits a sin, it extends to the whole thing."

"Eh?

"Exile is not an individual, it's a family. I can't change my family name, so I can't forgive my descendants. It has to do with the name we just spoke about. Same Mr., that's what people call a surname. Anyone with the same surname is guilty of anything more than the fact that his surname states his sin"

"Tough."

Otto could feel the severity of the constraints in the Elves only after listening to this story.

"Did Kamui mention the contract earlier? Contraindications mean breaking a contract with the world. Forgiveness of that sin means that the entire Elves will break their covenant with the world. Then the Elves will perish."

"Is that what it is? I know a little bit."

So there's no such thing as a form of slave.

"What?"

"Because I have become your slave by my own will..."

This is not because I like Otto. It's just a feeling of trying to stay true to the contract. So far, Otto figured it out.

"Why would I say that? I don't mean that. [M] That's what one of the contracts says, so that's what they are. You don't have to follow me. [M] Because you can live of your own free will."

"... is that guilt too?

"No, this is my belief, and with this, I can be one of the Camuis."

"Right. Can I be one of them?

"I don't know that. But I can do what you want, if that's what we think it is. You can be."

"Thoughts......"

"Then that's all I'll tell you. I want the Wall of Race gone from this world. A world where people and elves are free to marry, and that's nothing special. That's what I want."

"You... you're thinking something amazing"

"I know it's uninterrupted. But Kamui told me this. You can't do it without trying. So I decided to try."

"I don't think I can"

How many thousand years did the Elves want this? In the end, it never materialized, and the Elves gave up coexistence and dragged themselves into their own world.

"I guess so. But, you know, even if I can't, there might be someone who can follow me. If I could just take one step forward for that person, I'd think that would be good."

"Right. Even if it's just one step, it's a step forward."

Even if you don't think it's feasible, Dewright isn't going to deny it until you think about it.

"But yeah."

"But?"

"If I were Kamui, I'd feel like I'd accomplish it all at once instead of one step at a time."

"What makes you think that?

"I feel like he has the power to change people's destinies. Just deal with him a little bit, and everyone will have hope for what they've given up. One of them is me."

"That's why"

"I may be a step by myself, but a hundred steps if we get together. If 10,000 people get together, it's 10,000 steps."

"Does Kamui have the power to attract 10,000 people?

"Come on? I just feel that way. Though I don't think there are 10,000 of them, many times as many."

"... right"

Deto is meeting with Kamui for the first time today. Even if Otto enthusiastically explains it, he hasn't come somewhere pinned.

"Well, should we go to bed?

With that in mind, Otto decided to stop talking any more.

"Oh, right. Look, this way we can both sleep."

To vacate Otto's sleeping place, Dewright slipped to the side of the bed.

"... because I sleep on the floor"

"I don't have to worry, do I?

"As, well."

"Then sleep next door. Just myself in bed. Then I feel bad"

"... then"

It also felt awkward to refuse Deto's compassion, and Otto fell asleep beside Deelight, but between reason and the desire of the young man, Otto could never fall asleep that night.
