At the time when Kaito was at the Victor Trading pany hearing about their special brushes, two figures were walking side by side through the mercial city.
[Fumu, as I thought, everything here feels fresh and new, and all of it so fascinating. Ever since I obtained this clone body, I’ve taken quite a liking to sightseeing.]
[Well, with your size, up until now you couldn’t exactly stroll into a city so carelessly. Of course everything you see now would seem novel to you.]
[Indeed. In the past, it was impossible for me to even take on this size. I thought that was fine enough, but now that I have this clone body and can experience various things, I feel as though I wasted a great deal of time before…… Though, even if I had been interested in cities and entertainment earlier, without this clone body, it wouldn’t have been possible anyway.]
[No point worrying about the past. Now that you’ve got that clone body and can move around, just enjoy it. Nidzveld and Eingana went out of their way to invite you to a concert, no need to overthink things.]
[Yes, that’s true.]
On one side was a calm, silver-haired gentleman with a dignified air, and on the other, a small girl with curled horns radiating an overwhelming pressure and presence…… the clone body of Magnawell, and Megiddo in human form.
The reason the two of them were in the city was simple: Nidzveld and Eingana had invited Magnawell, who had recently obtained a clone body and was enjoying things he couldn’t before, to a concert. By coincidence, Megiddo had been drinking with Magnawell at the time and came along as well.
Since there was still time before their band’s performance, the group had split into pairs, Nidzveld and Eingana together, Magnawell and Megiddo together, to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the city.
[……Still, Megiddo, why do you take on the form of such a small girl?]
[Ahh, that’s because Kaito likes this look. Makes sense if you think of Kuromueina or Shalltear, this figure probably fits his tastes. So lately, when I take on a human form, it’s often this one, so that if Kaito feels like embracing me, it’ll be easy. Funny thing is, I never thought of myself that way, but maybe I really am the type to go out of my way for someone I’m in love with!]
[Is that truly what you’d call devotion? Well, I don’t understand much about romance…… but at least make sure you don’t get scolded again by Kuromueina or Shalltear.]
[Mm, feels a bit roundabout though…… I’m already head over heels for Kaito, and it’s not like he dislikes me. Wouldn’t it just be faster if we had a physical relationship……? But fine, taking our time can be fun too. Anyway, Magnawell, where are you headed? I’ve been to this city a few times, so if there’s somewhere you want to go, I can guide you.]
[Unn? Is that so? I thought you disliked the Archlesia Empire……]
As Magnawell saw it, Megiddo tended to dislike Archlesia Empire’s noble-oriented doctrines, so it was hard to imagine Megiddo visiting a town of the Archlesia Empire very often.
[Nah, it’s not like I hate everything about it. If anything, I quite like the current Emperor. She’s been doing reforms, trying to change the country, and that kind of drive is admirable. The one before her was trash…… If Kuromueina hadn’t told me not to, I would’ve killed him outright.]
[The previous Emperor? I don’t recall him much…… I only remember thinking he was a small-time figure.]
[The ones that annoy me most aren’t the ones who do spectacular crimes or line their pockets blatantly, but the types who do everything half-ass and sneak around earning petty side money. If one of them showed up in my sight outside the Festival of Heroes, I was thinking of leaving them half-dead. Anyway, I actually like this city. The past Count Sharon implemented some bold policies…… It isn’t unusual now, but back then it was revolutionary and impressive, his willingness to take risks was good. Well, Sharon County’s been stable lately, so they don’t gamble much anymore.]
[If their stability es from not gambling, then that’s fine, isn’t it?]
[……Well, that’s true.]
Megiddo gave a wry smile and nodded at Magnawell’s words. Megiddo liked people who took on challenges, and respected those who succeeded because of them, so Sharon County seemed to leave a fairly good impression to her.
[So, where to now?]
[Fumu, I want coffee. I’ve been getting into it lately, the taste varies by shop, so it’s quite interesting.]
[Coffee huh. I know a few good places. I’ll show you around.]
[Ho ho, then I shall look forward to it.]
The two members of the Six Kings walked through the city laughing cheerfully…… no one at that time could have known that their presence would give Cornelia such an excruciating stomachache.
Serious-senpai : [Ahh…… yeah, it’s over, Cornelia…… She's about to encounter two of the Six Kings and two Six King Executives all at once…… T- This is the overwhelming power of a one-hit-kill type huh……]
