Konjiki no Moji Tsukai
Chapter 269

One week has passed after Liliyn had run away from the conference room of the Demon Lords castle with teary eyes. As for Hiiro, he had been at the Beast Kingdom Pasion within that week.

What did you say? Youre leaving?

At the Throne Room, where Hiiros party were lined up before the Beast King, Leowald, and the Queen, Blantha, Hiiro had reported a certain matter.

The fact about their departure from this place eventually. According to Hiiro, he was able to fully enjoy at his stay in the country, but there was no more need to stay because he had roughly gotten all the information he wanted.

However, Leowald didnt seem pleased to hear his departure report and asked Hiiro to reconsider.

Yeah, I was able fulfill my objective this time around.

how about you stay here for a little longer?

Thats right Hiiro-san, Mimiru was very pleased with your stay in here. Moreover, although I havent said this anyone, Kuklia seems more graceful than before.

Oh! As expected of the man I admitted! So youve finally got the better of Kuklia! I guess she wanted to be seen more often by the man she fell in love with! Gahaha!

I agree, she seems more womanly than usual.

As those two were selfishly proceeding such talks,

W-what in the world are you talking about!

The sudden appearance of a blushing Kuklia appeared on the spot. And then she went in front of the two as she passed Hiiro from his side.

P-Papa and Mama, please dont proceed such embarrassing talks! I-i-i-i-i-i-its not like Im in love or anything!

Why are you panicking so much.

I agree, its a bit improper.

Although they were both correcting her conduct, they were obviously grinning. Its quite easy to tell that they were amused by their daughters reaction.

Uu~

Kuklia groaned like a beast and directed her suppressed anger towards Barid standing on the side.

Barid! Arent you the close aide of the King? Why havent you rebuked the remarks of him!

Me?!

He didnt expect for him to involved in such matters as he darted his eyes about in confusion. And then Kuklias gaze slowly faced Hiiro.

..tru

Hah?

I.it isnt true!

what are you talking about?

L-like I said!

Kuklia moved her body in order to face Hiiro directly.

W-what Mama and Papa said a while ago, it isnt true!

To deny her parents statement to the point of blushing from embarrassment, Hiiro judged that it would be unpleasant if this misunderstanding continued.

Dont worry.

.eh?

Whether you were mischievous or not, its just something trivial to me.

Is..is thatso.

Her cheeks that had been dyed red had returned to its original color while her eyes were slightly looking down in disappointment.

Achaa~

Behind them, Leowald and Blantha placed a hand to their temple as they each held their impression about the scene they started.

Hiiro however, though he was aware that he may have said it improperly, he couldnt understand why did they all gave such a reaction to his. He only said what was honestly on his mind.

Come on now Hiiro, at least, just a bit, try to understand a womans heart

Tenn who was at Hiiros shoulder shook his head to the side as he murmured good grief

A womans heart? Of course I wont be able to understand, Im a man after all.

.haa, although that may be true, but still, good grief.

Hiiro felt irritated as Tenn threw out a terribly long sigh.

Why dont you tell it to me clearly if you have something to say?

If I could say it, I wouldnt be having a hard time like this.

Then, be silent. Besides, look at Nitouryuu. That guy will also never understand it you know. Because that guy is a man.

At Hiiros urgence, Camus who came near Hiiro cutely inclined his neck.

UnIm a guy. Always togetherwith Hiiro.

Camus proudly said so. And then Hiiro was See that?. In face of those two, Tenn could only make a heavy sigh.

A-anyway, like I asked before, are you really planning to go already?

Yup.

Mu, I see. If possible, I would have love to have a rematch with you in your spare time.

Hiiro wanted pardon himself from that. He fought before because he had a reason to do so. However, he would like to refuse if the fight was simply to pass time.

He wasnt a battle frenzy maniac, and even if its just a simple fight, fighting against the Beast King is quite troublesome. So in face of someone who speaks of such desires as if it was natural, no thank you.

Besides, werent you challenged by Lenon quite a lot?

Lenon was the second prince of the country. His motivation to fight resembled Leowalds. As expected of the parent and child. He was a person that once youve fought and beat him, he would persistently ask for a rematch as many times as he want. But Hiiro did not have the time to do such things. So, no.

Every time Lenon asked for a match, the first prince Leglos would scold his brother for his rudeness. Hiiro felt a bit of sympathy towards the elder brother. Lenon was simply too persistent.

Then how about an exhibition match that would serve as a motivation for the soldiers of this nation?

I refuse.

Gahaha! I thought so!

He seemed to have expected that his offer was going to be refused. Besides him, a calm voice murmured Dear, really now.

But well, since you have that magic capable of traveling here instantly, I believe this separation wouldnt be the last. If you miss Mimiru and Kuklia, feel free to come by and visit them again.

W-wait, why am I include!?

Though Kuklia was getting worked up in refusing her fathers statement,

Ah, before you leave, do tell Mimiru and the others of your departure.

Yeah, I intend to do that.

Hiiro didnt want another you left again without saying anything from us! yelling from Arnold.

But I have a feeling well be seeing again real soon.

The mood Leowald changed as his eyes narrowed sharply. Hiiro meant about the organization created by the Predecessor Demon Lord, Matar Deus. Since the last news about them, they havent anything after, although they were sure some movements was moving behind their backs.

.by the way, Beast King.

Yeah?

Please do consider about the Paradise I offered, alright?

Gahaha! Oh yeah, lets discuss this matter with everyone! I really want to meet this master of yours who founded this idea.

Youre mistaken. That guy isnt my master. I just only suggested this matter by my own accord.

Of course, he meant about Red Loli, Liliyn.

so this person wasnt your master, huh?

Youre too persistent. Its just that my purpose aligns with that persons. Simply put, you could say I would like to see her dream come true with my own eyes.

Hoh, so you have fallen for this person, huh?

Leowalds eyes were sparkling with a definite shine, even Kuklia who was looking at him had this discerning disposition in her stare.

Dont be foolish. Im normal.

Eh? Normal?

As if he didnt understood Hiiros statement, Leowald inclined his neck in confusion. For Hiiro, Liliyn is a little girl, and he doesnt have inclination or lustful urge for that said person.

No way, as if youre normalif I have to name it, it would be colorless. Yeah, colorless!

Though Tenn spoke lightly, Hiiro heard his words completely. He grabbed his neck and threw him behind. However, Tenn rotated his body and made a perfectly timed landing.

W-why did you throw me all of a sudden Hiiro!

Shut up, Yellow Monkey. As if we could understand those colorless, colorless you were talking about.

Ke! If youre normal, then at least show some in front of a woman! You blasted colorless bastard!

.hou, apparently instead of Yellow Monkey, youd like to be grilled Monkey, huh? You blabbermouth Monkey.

Hmpf! If you can do it, try me you insensible thickheaded man!

As the two of them glared each other as if sparks were scattering overhead them, they heard the beating of hands and shifted their attention to it.

Alright, stop! If you guys intend to start a battle in here, I would like you to pardon this place seriously.

What Leowald said was natural. If the two had a serious bout with each other, the Throne Room would surely collapse. Those two people had the ability to evoke such effect.

huh, it seems you narrowly escaped your demise, Ape.

I return those words similarly, you quick tempered impatient human.

In face of such childish banter between two like minded people, everyone who was present loosened their cheeks. Although it may look unbelievable, but this was the person who fought and beat the Beast King in a duel and brought victory to the Evila.

Before Hiiro left the room, he told Leowald that hed bring Liliyn and her company one day to talk in detail regarding the Paradise he talked about before.

For now, his next destination was the garden. It seems there were a lot of people who was present there.

When he arrived at the place, he saw Mimiru and Muir harvesting the crops while enjoying with bright smiles on their faces. In the vicinity of those two, he also saw Arnold and his elder sister around.

And the moment he approached them.

Hirooooooooooooooooo!

A familiar voice and footsteps rang in the surrounding ground he stood. As usual, he wrote the characterExchange | instinctively but realized Barid, his meat shield wasnt present on the spot.

He thought of using Arnold instead, but his distance from him was too far. Due to the lack of preparation, Hiiro was ultimately defeated by the situation..

Unyaaaaaaa~!

From behind, he felt a heavy hug, but was somehow able to endure it by putting strength on his feet. And after a lot of trials, Crouch, the Cat girl was able to relish the feeling of a successful hug on the back of Hiiro.

Hiirooo~, Hiirooo~ Nyaaaaaa~

.release me, Cat girl.

Though Hiiro complained depressedly,

Ny-o way!

She responded so. Helpless in his situation, Hiiro leaked a sigh as Muir and the others noticed and came towards him.

Really now, Crouch-san! Please separate from Hiiro-sama!

The second princess Mimiru sweetly reprimanded Crouch. Muir, by her side also puffed her cheeks.

Hehe, go on, continue what you guys are doing, I insist! I dont mind anyone as long as it isnt Muir..hiiii!?

Apparently, there doesnt seem to be a learning function on Arnold.

Oji-san? Could you repeat that again.hm?

Its as if a hellfire was breaking out behind him. Arnold who was deathly pale said,

C-crouch-sama! Please stop what you are doing! Do that when you are alone with just the two of you together!

Nya! Is that so-nya? Just two of us you say? Hiiro~ lets go to my room nya! Well do a lot of fun things over there nya~!

Although it was Crouch was expressing such a delighted smile on her face, behind him appeared

.Oji-san?

.Arnold-san?

The two angels have transformed into demon mode at last. So Arnold who was oblivious to the dangers of his own foolishness,

haha I guess this is goodbye

He spoke such words while laughing before his imminent demise.
