Theres no way I could possibly forget. Say, Mimir, since then, have you t with theSpiritat all? (Leowald)
Eh..I-I havent but.. (Mimir)
Mimir stole a couple glances at Arnold, giving off a feeling of restlessness. As Hiiro had asked her to be quiet about it, she had told them that she had been healed by a Spirit at that ti.
About that Spirit, please try to properly recall it. What did it look like? And what did it say to Mimir-sama?! (Arnold)
Fu-fumu. (Leowald)
Although he was confused because of Arnold, who appeared a little excited, Leowald recounted the details of theSpirits appearance that he had heard from Mimir before.
If I rember correctlyhe wore glasses, and had a red robehm? (Leowald)
Do you see now? (Arnold)
w-wait a mont. (Leowald)
Leowald looked at the grinning Arnold, confirming that the conclusion he had just thought of was true. Then, he turned his gaze towards Mimir.
Mimir, please answer honestly. (Leowald)
Umm.. (Mimir)
After seeing Mimirs flustered-looking face, Muir beca nervous, as she didnt know what to do.
The one who healed you was not a Spiritwas it? (Leowald)
. (Mimir)
She kept quiet as she continued to stare at Leowald. It seed that she kept her mouth closed in order to protect her promise with Hiiro. Arnold opened his mouth in an attempt to help her out.
Mimir-sama was ordered by Hiiro to keep quiet. That was her promise with Hiiro and it is also a bond that Mimir-sama has been treasuring greatly. That is why she cannot possibly break that promise herself. Therefore, Leowald-sama, I will tell you the truth myself. (Arnold)
.hou. (Leowald)
Unable to endure it anymore, Muir involuntarily yelled. However, Arnold shook his head.
Its fine already. He clearly isnt trying to hide his magic anymore. Its also sad for Mimir-sama if she has to keep the truth from her family forever, after all. (Arnold)
Ah (Muir)
After realizing that Arnold was not simply rampaging, but also thinking about Mimirs circumstances, Muirs chest beca warm.
Well, honestly speaking, I figured that with this, that guy will get mixed up in so sort of trouble. (Arnold)
The warm feeling in Muirs chest chilled at light-speed.
O-Ojisan (Muir)
Seeing her half-closed eyes glaring at him, Arnold began to spout out excuses.
N-No, in the first place, its entirely his fault! Hes always, always, way too self-centred! His reason for participating in this war is probably because of that, you know? Im pretty sure that its becauseXaoshas so delicious food or rare books, right? (Arnold)
Uu. (Muir)
She couldnt deny it. Rather, Muir herself also thought that was the case. He was not the sort of heroic person who would move based on a sense of justice. He truly was a person who was faithful to his own desires after all.
However, if it was for the sake of so food or book he was fascinated with; Hiiro would calmly go to dangerous locations or perform so dangerous actions. He would easily bet his own life in these situations for trivial reasons that other people would be completely unable to understand.
Leowald seed to find the exchange between Arnold and Muir rather interesting, as he heartily laughed with a Gahaha!
That youngster Hiiro must be quite the eccentric individual! You know him too, right Rara? (Leowald)
Yeah, hes an extrely interesting guy. (Rarashik)
Hohou, for you to say that much..umu. Mimir, co here. (Leowald)
Mimir gave a small twitch. Most likely, rather than choosing to remain silent up until now, she was afraid that shed be scolded for lying.
Leowald picked her up with his large arms and sat her down on his lap as he pat her head.
Im sorry. (Leowald)
Eh? O-Otou-sama? (Mimir)
She was surprised as she suddenly received her fathers apology.
I forcibly asked without taking your feelings into account. Thats right, to you, hes your benefactor. No, hes your great benefactor. You couldnt possibly break a promise you made to soone like that. (Leowald)
Otou-sama. (Mimir)
However, theres no need to worry anymore. Arnold said this as well, but it seems that your great benefactor is not trying to hide his power anymore. It must have been tough being unable to tell your family the truth up until now. (Leowald)
Uu..I-Im.very..sorry (Mimir)
Mimir buried her head into Leowalds chest and lightly cried. Leowald gently stroked her head; everyone stayed silent until she finished crying.
(Isnt that great, Mimir-chan?) (Muir)
Muir also watched over the two of them warmly. For a short while, she had been worried, but it seed that Arnolds actions had led to a good turn of events. However, it was also possible that they would have led to a series of bad events.
(Thats why, no als for Ojisan today!) (Muir)
When she glared at Arnold while thinking that, he let out a small scream and went Hii!, as he brought his hands together in apology towards Muir. It seed that he was aware that he had gone a little too out of control.
Umu, but still, this is quite the problem. (Leowald)
At Leowalds sudden murmur, Rarashik asked,
Whats wrong? (Rarashik)
Its just, you know, we said it before too, but right now that youngster is on theEvilas side. (Leowald)
Everyone gasped in realization. Indeed, Hiiro was currently standing as an enemy of the beastn.
To think that he would be Arnolds friend and Mimirs great benefactor.muu. (Leowald)
As nobody knew what would be the best thing to say in this situation, they all remained silent.
(Thats right..right now were at war with the Demon Continent that Hiiro-san is in.) (Muir)
Just as Muir started to beco uneasy, her eyes suddenly t with Mimirs. Mimir too seed to have had an epiphany as her face beca dyed with anxiety.
As they did so, Leowald suddenly clapped his hands together.
Ooh, if thats the case, then isnt it simple?! (Leowald)
Everyone gave a blank look as they turned their eyes towards him.
Lets have that youngster participate in the upcoming duel! No, soone possessing that degree of power will definitely be made to participate. And once we win, well take him! (Leowald)
.duel? What do you an by duel? (Rarashik)
Ohh, now that I think of it, Rara, I still havent told you about that yet. For now, why dont you read this letter? (Leowald)
After saying that, Leowald took out the letter sent to him by the Maou Eveam from his bosom. Rather than proposing a large-scale battle, its contents suggested that they decide the outco of the war by having each countries strongest mbers fight each other in a duel.
Taking the paper, Rarashik scanned over its contents. Then-
..haha, nahahahahaha! What a foolish Maou! Nahahahaha! (Rarashik)
Right? But its quite interesting and really is a likeable way of thinking. (Leowald)
So it seems. Kukuku. (Rarashik)
Unable to understand the reason for their laughter, Arnold asked about it and Rarashik explained the contents of the letter.
Both Muir and Arnold were surprised at the contents as feelings of shock ran through them.
(Sohow, it might be my imagination, but this duelI wonder why it feels like its one of Hiiro-sans ideas?) (Muir) (TL note: Best waifu right here. ED: She knows her man like the back of her little hand.)
In truth, Eveam really had used Hiiros idea. As expected of Muirs intuition.
So how about it, Rara? (Leowald)
No, I understand without you telling . You want to participate in this duel, right? (Rarashik)
Exactly. If its this kind of interesting battle, I figured that youd also want to try participating. (Leowald)
Thats true.Im interested. I want to see the Maou whod propose this kind of foolish idea with my own eyes, but above all (Rarashik)
She turned her gaze towards Muir and Arnold.
I want to try eting with that brat one more ti. (Rarashik)
In that case- (Leowald)
Yeah, Ill participate, but only if you accept my conditions. (Rarashik)
conditions? Na them. (Leowald)
Its alright, its pretty simple. These two. (Rarashik)
Naturally, she was talking about Muir and Arnold.
If you let Arnold and Muir participate as well, then Ill take up your offer. (Rarashik)
For a short while, silence reigned over the surroundings. And then-
EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (Arnold and Muir)
The two of them released a trendous scream.
