episode_0181

The moon rose brightly and shyly hid itself in the clouds. As we continued to talk frantically, it was already midnight.

At midnight, Maria gets a good night’s sleep. It was for Maria during the day. If this were the case, her day would actually only be 4 hours out of 24, but Maria said it was okay.

I’ll have to come up with a way for Maria to not have to sleep later. There is a lot to prepare for. Until the sleep of Mary’s life. Should I ask the almighty Kanos a favor?

“That… Ha, I’m confused.”

“What?”

“I thought there was nothing more absurd than a demon and a saint dating. But no. Going back in time… .”

Albrecht mutters in a defeated voice. I feel somehow refreshed. There are times when even that person acts like that.

“I heard that the power of time is the domain of Kronos, the god of time.”

“It belongs to two beings. The Olympian god Kronos and the omnipotent god created by faith.”

“Regression is… What happened?”

“I don’t know. Me and Maria too. I think maybe the Demon Lord is involved, but I can’t find anything for sure. Right, Maria?”

“… Yes.”

I giggled, hearing Maria’s strangely weak voice. Funny enough, I feel like I won. Even though it was Albrecht who solved the riddle and received the reward.

“Can you tell me more about it?”

“What?”

“Isn’t it too unkind to simply say, ‘In the year 712 of the Imperial Calendar, the Demon King’s army will take over the world?’”

“Anyway, it happened in the last episode. Something you might know… It means that a being called ‘I’ stands on the side of the continent and wants to prevent its destruction. You may not really realize it, but this is amazing.”

“Hehe, Evans in the last episode was amazing.”

“Even so, they say they were defeated by the devil.”

“To put it another way, no one except the devil could have dared to cross Mr. Evans.”

“What do you think, Your Highness? Do you feel it now? How special are you standing in front of these people?”

He made a V-shaped hand shape with his arms wrapped around Maria’s shoulders. Maria burst out laughing and immediately stood up.

“Now it’s time for a good night’s sleep. May your Majesty sleep well.”

“… Sure. I’ve already stayed up all night and I’m completely out of my mind.”

Oh, come to think of it, Albrecht has been awake for nearly 48 hours now. I was only smart, but I didn’t have a special body, so rest was absolutely necessary.

Before Maria lay down, I took out the sack from my pocket. Arachne’s sack. I packed the bedding in the cloth basket, which can accommodate anything that is large enough to fit in a sack.

I brought only a mattress and a blanket. Nothing else is needed. Mary’s pillow will become my arm.

“Ta-da~ For Maria’s comfortable night!”

“It looks like Mr. Evans is finally feeling altruism. I couldn’t be more proud.”

I first laid down on the side with the bedding like a servant serving a princess. Maria carefully lay down on it. A soft weight comes into the outstretched arm. Warm body temperature seeps from body to body.

Maria said while lying down.

“Charge.”

“Hmm?”

“Thank you. For protecting our secrets. Thank you for accepting our rudeness with generosity.”

Albrecht snorted and shot back. Judging from the lowering of the voice, it appears that he is lying down on the floor.

“Honestly, I’m still having a hard time. The only difference between demons and monsters is whether they have reason or not. Aren’t demons the only creatures that wouldn’t be strange if they started a massacre at any time? I even committed murder the day before yesterday.”

“It won’t be like that in the future. Because of that, I realized that Maria might be repatriated to this church.”

“Does that mean that if a saint is not present, such an act can be committed at any time?”

“Don’t push it too hard. From the beginning, I don’t like death that much. There are separate demons who like that kind of thing.”

“Umm… I understand your intentions. It’s a completely natural worry. But please keep this one thing in mind.”

Maria buried her eyes, nose, and mouth into my chest. A beautiful hand came to my side and wrapped around my back.

“What we are doing now is for the good of the world.”

“… .”

“You must not be trustworthy. But I can swear to you. Even if it’s under the holy name of my saint.”

“It’s not something you bet on like that. What happens if a saint ceases to be a saint?”

“I am Maria. Everything is layered on top of it.”

With those words, Maria fell into a deep sleep. I can see and hear two closed eyes and calm breathing.

It was a moment when I was about to lightly stroke the back of her head.

“If you were going to bring a mattress and blanket, I think it would have been better if you had brought your own too.”

“Excessive greed can lead to disaster.”

Albrecht speaks in a quiet voice. It wasn’t loud enough to wake Maria, so there was no need to stop her.

“I have never slept without a pillow in my entire life.”

“Are you bragging? He said he grew up beautifully in the imperial palace.”

“It is a persecution. If I bring you a pillow like that, what will be the difference?”

“If you need it, you should bring it yourself. Don’t you know survival of the fittest?”

“Aren’t you the one doing the swapping? If the pillow the woman was holding suddenly disappeared, would the guards be still?”

Albrecht spoke nervously and crawled towards me. I asked.

“What are you going to do?”

“I want to sleep a little more comfortably.”

Then, he entered the edge of the mattress, which was already filled with two people, and took up the remaining space, and then rested his head on my thigh! Even curling up and curling up!

“Hey, aren’t you keeping your body? Is it okay for Her Royal Highness to be like this?”

“What do you think? There won’t be any eyes to see.”

“The sky sees, the earth sees, I see, you see.”

“This is better if you want to sleep on the floor. It’s a pity that I can’t cover myself with a blanket, but the temperature in the library isn’t low so it’s not cold.”

“As Maria said, generosity is very wide. Excessively wide.”

It’s normal for royal family members to be offended by something like this.

“I have something to ask.”

“Huh?”

“If you two really come from the future, and if the empire seen in that future is miserably trampled under the hooves of the Demon King’s army, what will happen to the original woman?”

Albrecht whispers a question. I don’t feel much interest. The attitude was that if you can know, you know, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t know.

“Die.”

“I expected it.”

“There is an infinitely powerful assassin. I assassinated His Highness by breaking through the thousand layers of protection surrounding the imperial palace.”

“He’s an interesting guy. How dare he pierce the imperial palace’s protective shield. It is worth mentioning that it is the best of the contemporary assassins.”

“Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

“I just don’t have any regrets. If I could not die, I would choose not to die. I don’t want to be like that in this life. Can’t you provide a way for my wife to live?”

“You don’t have to worry about that part. I’ve already done my best. what… Your Majesty may die in a way I don’t know, but if that’s the case, let’s say it’s a thousand lives.”

When you hear that you are going to die, it is normal for your back to tremble slightly. But Albrecht is just as calm as before he listened to me. Like a lofty mountain with a heavy foundation.

He was even more surprised at the fact that Maria and I had gone back in time. Is it because you ‘expected’ it? If the empire had become like that, it would have been difficult for the princess herself to survive.

“Can you also tell me who the assassin is?”

“Why, kill me? do not do that. Your Majesty could die.”

“It’s just personal curiosity. Who is the assassin who cut off the woman’s head? Anyway, you said you had taken measures, but are you going to be rash?”

“That’s right. Okay, let’s leave the identity of the assassin as the reward for the next mystery.”

“I have a lot of questions. What exactly was the week you spent, why were you, a demon, executed by the demon king, and what was the empire… How does it collapse?”

“Really? I guess I’ll have to think about a lot of mysteries. Guess it step by step. It is said that fruits that are picked after hard work are delicious.”

He laughed and laughed. I feel a slight shock to my thigh. Albrecht appears to have thrown his hand away.

“You’re bold. Have you forgotten that I solved your riddle just today?”

“What happens if you guess it right? It’s not like I’m losing anything. Isn’t it fun?”

“Oh? I’ll break your dick.”

Okay, take a look. I lay down and shrugged my shoulders. Albrecht also became quiet. As the silence fell, I suddenly remembered one thing and spoke.

“Anyway, Maria would be jealous if she saw this. He said he was in contact with a woman outside the house.”

“Isn’t it okay as long as you don’t get caught?”

“You have to wake up before Maria. When you wake up, I’ll hit your head with my foot, so don’t be too noisy.”

“… No matter how great you are, you are the princess of the empire. It’s so cruel.”

“Then I’ll hit you with my toe.”

“… Don’t just hit the head.”
