BGM: Moon Ship (Happy Planet)

"That... That's because they—"

"No, you don't know. ”

Magpie interrupted her in a calm voice.

"Huh. . . That's right, the look in my eyes just now was good. ”

"Young and vigorous, I keep my own thinking. ”

He said without a word.

"Did you get angry for a moment? That's right. ”

Magpie looked at the girl's gradually pale face and showed a very friendly smile.

Like a priest who listens to the pain of others, gentle and understanding, encouraging.

Slaves' dissatisfaction with reality contributed to this tendency. ”

"It's the same with you. ”

"This is proof that you are alive, and your mother does not have such qualities. ”

Or rather, subtly losing this quality. ”

"Whether it's a slave, you're a princess, it's all the same. ”

"Man does not have doubts about inhuman power, violence, rules, and overwhelming power, but he will only be jealous and repulsive of superior beings who are also human beings who are far superior to themselves. ”

The slave would do this because he would instinctively weigh himself and the slave owner's personality on an equivalent scale. ”

"Your mother won't, because she has far more knowledge and experience than you, she's too sober. ”

"She doesn't see me as a human being. ”

"But you're different. ”

"Although your mother taught you how to deal with me, this was not accepted by you. ”

"So there will be resistance, so there will be rebellion. ”

Magpie subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch her head to express his concern for the younger generation.

Then the finger just lifted it up and put it down.

"It's good... Very good.. ”

The princess unconsciously raised her head of her own volition, looking at the boy who looked about her own age, and somehow had some difficulty breathing.

This person is in. . . Bemoan?

Why?

Obviously, the great candle flame has everything in the world.

Obviously it should be like this. It.. Will he have a wish that he can't fulfill?

When I saw him, it was as if I was looking directly at something indescribable.

A huge hollow, or the opposite is the vast deep sea.

Dark, deep, and seemingly forever boundless.

Just looking at the pure black eyes, I couldn't help but fall into it.

Magpie felt such a gaze and slowly retracted his smile.

Is it because of Charisma?

Of course, the psychic faculties have reached the point where they always unconsciously bring such attraction.

But.. And that's not all.

"There is still longing in your heart, undistorted by the violence of reality. ”

Magpie smelled the smell of Suzune's body and slowly closed his eyes.

"I'd love to say I'm sorry, but I don't think you'll accept it. ”

"I looked through your memories without permission. ”

"There is no haze in your past, and there is no confusion in your future. ”

It's not the same as me.

"It's rare, it can only be said that your mother is overprotective of you. The course of your life so far is under her control. ”

"Don't put on that look, trust me, she has no ill will towards you. Of course, young people, understandable. ”

"I don't want me to be your shadow either. ”

Magpie tried to make a joke.

Although your mother is very reluctant, she still obeys the understanding and calls you to serve me.

There's no reaction.。。

"Ahem. ”

"Historically, the successors of each generation of your royal family have been short-lived, and very few have lived to be thirty years old. ”

"I initially judged it to be a genetic problem.,Well.。。 It's still very troublesome for existing technology. ”

"This is one of the costs of incomplete ability ... Probably your ancestors had an affair with something strange that gave birth to such a delicate bloodline as yours. ”

"Whew. Under the crown. This, I. . . That one.. ”

The girl stammered visibly this time, and her face instantly turned red.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to say it. ”

Magpie waved his hand.

"Anyway, you're barely pleasing to the eye. ”

"Now, for some reason, I can't go out, so I'll be living in seclusion with you for the time being. ”

"Not even distraction. I guess I'll be noticed as long as I appear in the center of the whirlpool now.。。 ”

Magpie smiled bitterly and muttered something that the princess did not understand, causing the latter to smile as if he did not understand.

Under the crown. Can't get out for a while?

Exactly why ...

The girl subconsciously thought of the morning news just now.

Is it because of that?

By the way, I'll have to give that host later-

"Don't kill people casually, hey!"

Magpie exclaimed angrily.

"Why are you all thinking so extremely? ”

"Oh. . . Oh, do as you command!"

Obviously I'm so kind, I'm just collecting experimental materials if I have nothing to do.

Why! Why are all these people so brutal!

Kill people like you can eat and drink!

Interesting?

Hm.。。 In fact..

"Ahem!"

"Anyway. ”

"So I need an errand runner in the meantime. ”

"How about doing something for me? I can give you a little reward when I'm done." ”

ovo

"You... Can you help us eliminate the after-effects of our abilities?!"

The girl subconsciously wanted to stand up because of her excitement, but halfway through getting up, she suddenly realized her faux pas and panicked and wanted to kneel.

"Stop! yes, that's it! You stand for me, stand straight!"

"Straighten your back!"

"Remember, I'll put you in the wall when I kneel down again, understand?"

"Yes. . . Yes!"

The girl stood a little stiffly, trying to keep her trembling legs straight.

I've been kneeling for a long time.

It was much better to stand up, this princess felt this way for the first time in her life.

It's so cool to stand!

"Your Majesty ... That one.. ”

"One more 'that' in your words, and your royal family will have to find a way to have a child before the age of ten. ”

The corners of the magpie's mouth grinned, revealing snow-white teeth.

Looking inexplicably mad.

"Although you have been in a single lineage until now, and every empress has had children before the age of thirty, but... Do you want to try it? 10 years old. ”

"If you want, I can help you go back to your physical state at that time for free, and then your descendants will not live to be ten years old. ”

"No. Right—"

"Got it!"

The princess seemed to be about to cry, but instinctively did not say the three seemingly dangerous words "sorry".

Although the crown in front of him is very easy to speak, he also has a moody and uncertain side.

After a series of setbacks, the princess finally realizes one of Magpie's habits.

Hate the hassle.

Hate troublesome rhetoric.

Hates social etiquette.

"No, I'm actually quite annoying for social weirdness, actually. ”

Magpie said to himself, and went to play with the ends of Suzune's hair again.

"You send me a letter. ”

Magpie said without raising his head, and handed over a piece of paper.

Cute pink envelope.

"To a guy named Ake. ”

"If you can't find this man, go to the ruler of Paradise. ”

"Woo. ”

There was a great shake in the princess.

Magpie no longer looked at her, and seemed to have completely lost interest, just blindly indulging in the sound of the bell and unable to extricate himself.

"When that's done, I'll give you the chance to continue working for me, understand?"

"But... ”

"If you don't know where to go, the envelope will point you in the right direction. ”

"But but! I-"

"Got it?!"

"Yes. . . ”

"Understand, go. ”

Magpie waved his hand in an impatient chaser gesture.

"Ah, don't ask for help, or you'll all be ten years old. ”

After only a few steps, the princess stumbled and almost fell.

“。。 Be.. ”

。。。。。。。

Half an hour later.

The sun is slowly rising, and it is no longer the time to call it early morning.

In the empty room, no one dared to disturb them.

The princess doesn't feel the "preferential treatment" she receives.

But others are well aware of the difference.

The strong aura of "close to death", like a huge monster tangled together, entrenched in the sky above the imperial capital, radiating to the entire empire. outside.

It makes people unable to raise the slightest sense of resistance, absolutely desperate violence, supreme power.

The magpie still sits on the throne with a high back.

His head slowly lifted from the girl's hair.

The black hair of the two is intertwined, like a silk implicated, full of unrealistic beauty.

"Magpie. ”

"It's fine. ”

The boy's gaze was hidden in the darkness and broken hair, and only his chin was bathed in sunlight.

Flatten the corners of the mouth.

Indifferently.

"I'm fine. Rest assured. ”

His tone was like a dream.

Window.

There were a few light clouds floating in the blue sky.
