141-Quiet story, Alice-The feeling of dwelling in illusion-




 To me, the life and death of others is not something that interests me.
 My priority is the peace of the world, not the individual. If I don't want to be a part of this world, I will ask you to leave, even if you are the king of a country.
 If you ask me, it's dry, but if you ask me, Kuro-san and the other six kings are too lenient.

 Disquieting elements are like lye in a pot, they keep bubbling up one after another without limit.
 That's why someone has to take out the lye in order to keep the world peaceful.

 However, I also tend to be lenient with those I'm close to.
 On the day before the summoning of the brave, the day before the summoning of the brave, I went to the location of the magic circle due to the information brought by my subordinates.
 The fact that I would be moving directly means that a situation that my subordinates could not handle.......

What are you doing? Mr. Black?
"...Chartier....
'That's the magic circle for summoning heroes, right? If you pour that kind of joke of a magical power into it it will go out of control.
... um ... sorry.

 At my questioning words, Kuro-san turns around with a sad expression on her face.
 What she was doing was crafting the summoning magic circle.......Kuro-san poured a large amount of magic power into the summoning process, making it semi-runaway and summoning it, and if that happens, the person being summoned can't be alone.

''........Black-san. I hate to say it, but even if I increase the number of people, 'your wish'........
I know! I don't know if it's possible anyway...
....

 I can honestly understand why Black is trying to do this, and it hurts.
 That's why I'm unsure. Should I stop it or let it go.......
 


...Chartier?
For once, we can explain it as a runaway caused by residual magic and I'll make the adjustments after the accident.
Thank you.
'But I don't think it's possible. Even if you increase the number of people you summon, no one will come along to fulfill your wish... well, you know what you're doing.

 After saying that much, I left the room with the summoning magic circle.
 I went outside and gave my subordinates instructions on how to cover up the situation after the outburst and waited for the next day, thinking that if possible, I didn't want any irregularities to happen.

 Well, to put it bluntly, an irregularity did occur...
 
 Hikari-san was 17 years old when she was summoned to this world. So the person summoned by the summoning magic circle should be someone who is about 16-18 years old in another world.

 So when I heard the report from the subordinates I had infiltrated that only one of them was 21 years old, I was truly astonished.
 
 I immediately investigated the irregular being, Miyama Kite.

 The cause of his summoning was immediately apparent at a glance.
 A piece of Kuro-san's magical power was in him, so he probably had what it took to become the existence that Kuro-san wanted.
 That's why he came to this world, pushing aside a 16-18 year old who was supposed to be summoned.

 To be honest, I was quite confused about his treatment.
 Having the qualities and actually being able to fulfill them was another matter... I didn't think he was the kind of person who could confront Black-san.
 So I decided to make contact with him and measure him.
 There's nothing more cruel than making him hope for something he can't fulfill. If I decided it was impossible, I would immediately pull away from Black-san.
 With that thought in mind, I disguised myself as a human and contacted him....



















".........Huh, Kite, are you in the demon world right now - it's so boring.......what?

 I surprised myself with the words I muttered while sitting at the counter in the late afternoon.
 Boring? What am I saying? It sounds as if you're missing your kite, don't you think?

 It's been about a month since I started interacting with Kite, calling myself Alice, and it's been about a month.
 At first I thought it would never happen, but Kite-san was far more than I could ever imagine.
 She took an interest in Lady Shalovanal and paid for Mr. Isis' solitude.
 I'm sure he doesn't realize it, but it was an extraordinary thing...at least enough to astonish me and make me change my mind.

 If it's Kite-san, there's a possibility that Kuro-san's wish can be fulfilled............................I decided that, and started to back out behind the scenes.
 

 That's why I tried to give him an ordeal of this and that. Whether or not that person's heart would be broken, distorted or not.......but Kite-san was unwavering.
 She could be upset, she could be confused.......but at the root of it, she remained straight, and she won Megiddo-san's trust in her.

 And to me.........
 I honestly didn't think that a mere mortal could disturb my mind to such an extent.
 I enjoy talking to Kite, I'm glad to be scolded by Kite, who is seriously concerned about my foolishness....................I'll miss the time I have without Kite.

  I didn't think I was going to fall in love with him a while ago, but this is really something to be proud of.......




















 In the shop at dusk, you hear the door open and a small shadow enters.

'Welcome, Black,'
Yes.

 The one who came in was Kuro-san.
 I told Kuro-san from the beginning that I was contacting Kaito-san under the name of Alice, and even when she came to our business meeting before, she properly understood my intentions and kept quiet.

''........Kaito-kun. How did it go?
I passed. I have no complaints about it... Well, in my opinion, I already passed around the fourth one, and the fifth one was just a bonus.
I see.

 Hearing my words in return, Kuro-san has a complicated expression on her face.
 The meaning of the fact that I told him that Kaito-san was passed, of course Kuro-san knows that.

''........Kuro-san. Kaito-san is the one you've been looking for.
Well, I don't know... yet.
You're really stubborn, aren't you? Oh, well, that's okay. I'm sure Kite will be standing in front of you before too long. And I will go to the depths of your soul that I and the other Six Kings have never been able to reach.
......

 Black looks as if she's about to cry.
 There's something she's been seeking for a long time.......but she's given up hope of ever getting it.
 Kuro-san and I both........but now, Kite-san is getting as close to it as possible.
 Maybe, if it's Kite-san........such a faint hope is probably making Kuro-san suffer more than ever before.
 It took too long for it to appear..............Long years have become a cage, rejecting the miracle suddenly offered to them.


I don't have to do anything unusual.

 Kuro-san tells me quietly, and I reply in a quiet voice.

"If you kill Kite-san I will mourn, regret, anger I will challenge you to death and only 'die' because I am not strong enough to do so. sir.
....
'It's nothing special. If Kite-san dies, I die too, and I didn't mean to fall in love with her without that level of preparation.
....

 At my words, which I tell him with determination, Black-san remains silent and doesn't say anything.
 Black-san also understands. I know that the day when that will happen is not far away.

 Well, as far as I'm concerned, it would be great if you could win over Kite and then approach her and make her see me as a woman as well.
 Well, let's put a stop to thinking about the future.

 Because at some point, when that time comes, whether you want it or not, the answer will come to you.

 Mr. Kite.................I love you. So, please.........above all, I wish you a happy ending....
