The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero
V2 Chapter 5.2 Demi-Human Rejection (2)
Carol, who was carrying the pie out of the kitchen, lightly hit the head of Cain, who was blocking his way, with a tray.
“Hei, Fabric! Don't be noisy in the store! Also, if you stay, then book!”
“Ah, sorry! Then, erm .... If you have a special fry, then I'll take it! Quelia, what will you order?”
“Eh? Ah, then, I'll eat salad and fruit juice ....”.
After telling the two of them to Galadd in the kitchen, Carol placed a plate of pie in front of Zweita who was made to wait and made a face that looked dissatisfied.
Cain sat in front of Shion. After hesitating for a bit, Quelia also sat down next to him.
“So, what's with Luuty?”
“I can't believe you don't know. Shion, haven't you heard?”
“If it's a matter of his resignation, it's already a public talk in the city.”
Cain was still wearing his armor. Even Quelia next to him, who was making a grim expression, had a short stick and a cane hanging from her slightly dirty pastor clothes.
It seemed that the two of them had received the request and were going to a nearby town. It was there that they found the Earthworm he recognized.
Earthworms are giant, multi-legged insects that have a hard, purple shell.
Having a huge body that surpassed even a bear, he could run very fast even in the desert.
On the occasion of Ogre's extermination, even Shion and Zweita had ascended together with him in Luuty Earth Worm.
When Cain's group approached the Earthworm they happened to see, sure enough, it seemed like Luuty was there.
“When I called him, he said [Ara, Cain. I, have left my job as chairman of the board. So I'm going back home. If you come to the Jiol Forest Kingdom, I will welcome you. Well then, be careful. ], and now this is it !? I'm really surprised.”
“It looks like his resignation speech at school has finished as we go too. Although we will be able to make some kind of arrangement if we know.”
While listening to the story, Shion sensed that there was a considerable difference in attitude between the two of them.
When compared to Cain, he got a rather calm impression from Quelia.
He felt that the cause was not a difference in personality.
“To begin with, there can't be anyone more suitable than that person! Why do they do that !?”
“Nn? Following the way you said that, didn't he resign of his own accord?”
When Shion asked him, Kain sighed deeply.
“Yes, it has not been widely circulated through rumors. Erm, about that ... According to Seira, it seems like it was the king's decision. Although, it seems that even in the Adventurer School, the reason is to bring a new wind or something like that....”.
“So. So the cause was actually a dispute between the king and Luuty. What is Demi-Human's rejection argument?”
So the so-called Seira was really Cain's female friend, and if she was not mistaken, she was the daughter of the Duke of Necros.
In that case, it might be information with a high degree of accuracy.
“Although I do not know if it is certain ..... But, it seems like the King certainly does not match Luuty ...”.
“It was because there were rumors that he initially wanted his dismissal. There must be a change in the figures of power within the royal palace.”
In response to Quelia's words, Shion said “Hmm” and nodded.
This may mean that there are a lot of voices who wanted Luuty to be in the office until now, but now it's not ......
“However, in that case ..... things will probably change more than how they change now.”
“It's true. I believe there will be a big change.”
Shion looked at Quelia's eyes as she nodded in agreement.
Most likely ..... This young girl might be on the same side as the king.
First of all, he had heard that there were many people who believed in the Demi-Human rejection argument among the Temple officials.
On top of that, a rage like Cain could not be felt in Quelia.
The calmness that can even be seen as detachment cannot be displayed unless she is “on that side”.
“Alright, here's your order! Special fried crisp and salad .... As well as juice!”
Carol has brought her food.
“Ah, yes. Thank you.”
“Master Shion, Zweita will also drink it.”
Zweita pulls Shion's sleeve. Shion nodded at Carol.
“Yes, yes, then, apple juice for my cute Zweita too!”
“Yes, if you can. And while you're doing it, just make it in a jug.”
“'Ka !”
“Mr Shion, I love you.”
Shion pushed Zweita away as she hugged her tightly.
Kain and Quelia showed a smile while staring at the sight.
“What is it?”
“No, um....”.
“I just thought, it must be peaceful.”
Cain took over Quelia who spoke ambiguously, and then put a fork into her fried food.
“Although it would be fine to smile together with everyone like this ..... Why everything changed like this.”
“That's what I want to know. What is fun about attaching rank among mankind?”
Cain could not answer Shion's question.
He had his own hatred, but he was unable to express it.
No, even if he did.
Even if he were to make some sort of statement here, it was not like there would be any change because of that.
That was because not even a single thing in this world would change with the complaints of an unemployed only child.
“Alright, just eat your food. It will be cold.”
“...... I.”
Cain tightly gripped his fork, and muttered as if squeezing his words.
“I, believe that the current situation is wrong.”
“Begukah.”
Shion said that, and nodded.
“As long as you understand that, you must be a very good class.”
After saying that and turning her gaze to Quelia who was beside Cain, Quelia remained silent and silently smiled.
On the other hand, Zweita drank the apple juice that was brought as if nothing was of concern.
In the [Steel Fish Shop] dominated by silence.
