Konjiki no Moji Tsukai

In the Conference Room of the Demon Country Xaos, in addition to the Upper Echelon of the Demon Evila, Hiiro was with them.

Teckil and Judom were in the centre, and they started to talk.

Hiiro heard the entire story silently; Lilyn and Silva also listened to the story with listless expressions.

Hiiro looked as if he was not interested but he would have left if he truly had no interest in it, and so Hiiro continued to listen in on the explanations.

Eveam was listening and did the talking once in a while after taking a breath.

As for what they were currently explaining: Teckil had been caught by Avaros and was later on rescued by Judom and was helped by him, and the girl next to them was the Second Princess of Victorias, Fara.

But most importantly, everyone there was wondering why Fara had come to such a place.

And so Judom explained that he had saved her and also told about the how Fara had slept for more than a year after failing to summon a Hero.

There were some occasions where she spoke up, and Fara's expression was somewhat uneasy and looked like her legs would give away at any moment, but since Judom was by her side, she spoke without feeling too intimidated much by the atmosphere of the place.

Certainly, if you looked at the situation, there was no chance of negotiation since they did not know what kind of an existence the enemy country was.

To her, it seemed that the existence of the Demon Evilawere more like a savage and uncouth existence that couldn't be reasoned with.

However, as she came to understand Teckil who was a Demon Evila, her thoughts seemed to change little by little.

(Fuu~, So this is the second princess.......)

Hiiro looked straight at Fara who had Orange straight long hair that reached her waist.

Hiiro could see that she looked similar to the First princess Ririsu who had summoned Hiiro and the others.

She gave off a young and petite feeling, but the light in her eyes gave off a strong impression.

White skin and blood red lips.

At the beginning when she was rescued, they said that she had little strength in her body. But right now, her cheeks were filled wit Vitality compared to how hollow they seemed when she was skinny. She did not look anything like to her former appearance.

Somehow her condition seems to have improved.

Then, as if noticing Hiiro's sight, Fara turned her eyes naturally towards him.

But suddenly, she dropped her head, and her shoulders shook with small movements.

Just when Hiiro was wondering what she was going to do, she raised her head and looked into his eyes again.

What was more concerning was that her expression turned pale.

Then as if deciding something, she nodded lightly and got up from her chair, and headed towards Hiiro as if deciding on something.

Others were bewildered by her actions.

I'm sorry!

The room went silent.

......why are you apologizing?

Hiiro's eyes widened at Fara's behaviour, which everyone found quite surprising.

But Judom and Teckil's expression did not change, while the rest were surprised.

Everyone was wondered about the meaning behind her actions.

.......I heard that Ririsu-ane-sama was the one who summoned you

Is that the first princess? Then there is no mistake.

That is why I am apologizing in her stead.

.....?

Hiiro inclined his head as if being unable to understand her actions and looked towards Teckil unintentionally as if demanding an explanation from him who seemed to know about the circumstance.

But he simply shrugged his shoulders lightly.

Hiiro-kun, Princess Fara is apologizing for having summoned you even though it wasn't done by her, for her sister who summoned you.

........but why are you apologizing?

Eh? Because the sssummoning was forsssed right?

With Teckil's explanation, everyone finally understood Fara's true intention.

I understand now, then this means that you apologising on behalf of your older sister who selfishly summoned us to a different world without our permission?

........Th-, Yes that's why.

Fara lowered her head lightly.

However, Hiiro heaved a sigh.

This was caused by the First Princess, so don't mind it.

B-B-but!

Fara raised her head timidly.

Earlier, she had heard from Judom about the current situation of the world and about the significance of being the Hero.

At first, she thought that it was her father who had given the orders for the summoning.

Then she understood that it was all her father's self-based thought.....which was hardly any of her own thoughts.

"TheDemon Evilais evil.At this rate theDemon Evilawill destroy us.Therefore I shall call for a Saviour from another world. And ask for them to help us."

Only such words were heard from the king.

And as result of carrying it out and having failed in doing so caused a Recoil Reboundturning her into a Sleeping princess.

But when she awakened, she then heard about the truth and cruelty of summoning the Heroes.

That the Heroes had a family, in their own world.

Moreover, what they had done was synonymous with kidnapping by considering the circumstances of only one side; forcing them to become strong and using them like puppets that they own.

Fara heard what happened and thought long and hard about it; she understood the depth of the crime that was committed.

This was the reason why Fara apologised even though it was her older sister who had summoned Hiiro and the rest, she also felt responsible for what had transpired.

Right now her eyes were brimming with guilt and regret and asking for forgiveness.

She felt fearful of what Hiiro would say.

Nevertheless, she did not take a step back and instead lowered her head waiting for what Hiiro was about to say as though she was the culprit.

(I thought that all the people in the royal family were as stupid as the king.....but there seems to someone like this as well)

Her attitude in the face of her family's sin was praise-worthy.

However, it was still an irrelevant apology to Hiiro.

Because,

I am grateful

....eh?

Hiiro's words were unexpected to which Fara could not help but open her mouth absentmindedly.

When I was summoned to this, I felt rather grateful

eh.......Wh-why is that?

This world........is really interesting.

I-interesting....?

There were not many people who thought that the upcoming war for Edeawas interesting, There was no way that could possibly be right.

If something were to go wrong by even a little bit, then that would cause them to lose their life.

In fact, the death toll would spiral out of control.

Every time, Hiiro would have to overcome them with only his sheer power and wisdom.

If he was to make a single mistake then there wouldn't be a next time.

But still, this increased his interest and there was nothing much more interesting than this in the world.

And that's why you shouldn't feel bad about having wronged me.

...........!?

Certainly, it was a coincidence that I arrived in this world, and I am thankful for this coincidence.I have received your apology, so don't mind it

.......

That's why..................stop crying

*potapota*...........*pota*, several drops fell onto the floor.

It was Fara's tears.

hi........bu.......t...........i.......wa............scar........

Even if she were responsible for the summoning of the heroes, she knew nothing; neither did the heroes, if Hiiro was to die in this world, then he would only think that it was his own fault and nobody else's.

th.......i......apo.........ane-sama.............dad......in...place...of............wanted.........higu

She was a gentle person by heart.

Even if Hiiro was to hit her then she would stand there and not mind, this was her atonement and was ready to accept it.

Although Hiiro did not blame her, she seemed to still have the weight of her family on her small shoulders.

Looking at such a person, Hiiro felt that she would become strong later on.

However, Hiiro felt uncomfortable looking at Fara who was crying in front of him and wiped her cheeks. For some reason, everyone focused on Hiiro, looking at him as he wiped the tears away from the crying figure in front of him.

......haa, stop crying already.Moreover, it is unreasonable to apologizing for things and carrying the burden for things that you didn't do

higu....gu......u

If you really want to apologise then apologise to the Heroes(Shinobu and Shuri) that are in this castle.I don't need it.

......gu.....Hero......sama ?

Oioi Hiiro, can't you be a little gentler to the crying girl with your words?

The SpiritTen who was sitting on the table spoke up.

Shut up, I already told her that I received her apology already. But if you think about more carefully then there is no reason for me to receive it right?

Even so, but can't you be more gentle to this cute girl.......

That's why I said I don't mind it, I really don't mind it anymore.Did you hear that, crybaby? If you really want to apologise to someone then apologise to the Heroes do you understand?

.........Cr-.....Cry Baby.....

Understood?

ah, Yes desuno!

And Hiiro crossed his arms and forcefully finished the conversation and after finally affirming that she did not speak anymore he quickly closed his eyes.

And after that, Ten led the Stunned Fara back and the story continued.

When Fara Returned to her seat, a Hand stroked her head, it was Judom's as he said It will be fine

Soon after Teckil and Judom began speaking and after completing it completely, Eveam opened her mouth with a difficult face.

Okay, I'm sorry for what happened, Teckil.I was unable to help you

Iya iya, it's fine.As a matter of fact, I didn't really know anything but I was able to live and even got a partner to get out from that place.

Sorry. And Judom-dono, as it's like this, Thank you very much for saving a precious person of my family

Eveam obediently lowered her head.

Although it did not matter, Hiiro thought that the imperial family should not lower their head so easily.

It is natural for people to thank and apologise, but the Royal family had to refrain from ever performing such behaviour towards someone besides their own family.

(Well I guess this is much better than a person who does not even know how to thank or apologise )

Hiiro saw Eveam's appearance with thin slit thorough his eyes, before simply closing his eyes.

How were you able to know that Teckil was imprisoned by Avaros. and why did Judom help Teckil escape from Avaros. But if you could have, it would have been better for you to have contacted us before, Teckil.

Eveam lightly blamed Teckil a bit.

Teckil lowered his head with a bitter smile on his face,

Hmm~ that is ssso, but it wass becausse Judom-san was there who need help and sso we had to go through the Demon Continent Boundary on foot and had to make ssure that everyone was ssafe and had a place to hide.

Is that so, Judom-dono what was the request that you had?

When Eveam asked that, Teckil spokeThat is.....and looked in Hiiro's Direction.

Naturally, all the members of the meeting in the room also focused their eyes towards him.

Feeling the weird quietness after the conversation had stopped, Hiiro slowly opened his eyes.

he then saw that everyone was looking at him for some reason.

Actually.....me and the otherss heard a sstrange story from a ssertain ssssomeone.

Well, I did not hear it directly but

A certain someone?

The Fortune-Teller that we spoke of earlier

Eveam then muttered Ahh as she remembered it.

Everyone had heard about the Fortune-Teller advising Judom.

It seemed that the Fortune Teller had advised Judom go with me back to our country to meet a certain Boy to befriend him.

Hiiro had started to get a terribly disgusting feeling welling up within him.

And that feeling seemed to have been proved right,

And that Boy iss Hiiro-kun who iss ssstanding right there.
