The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

In the meantime, we decided to go back to the castle and ask the Dragon King."The Demon King wants to become a star, but what does this mean?"

Naturally, the Dragon King looked like something, so I explained in turn.

First of all, it seems that the Demon King can't just shrink and snack.

In the first place, it seems that the Demon King did not realize that people were in trouble on earth.The only thing you know about us is the red dragons that flew right in front of you.

Then, when I drew and showed a painting saying, "I need to eat a little", the demon king himself painted himself with a star pattern on his stomach.

… and above.

The star pattern probably means that I want a certain amount of the magic of light.

After some thought, the Dragon King answered.

Demon King is a phenomenon and magic.That's what we think.In fact, it shouldn't be just a creature. "

I think so too. It's a little strange to be just a creature. "

I still don't know what a demon king is.It's just that, mahnn 'n 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'nn 'n 'nn

It was only recently that it was discovered that there was a will, and I still don't know about the Demon King.It's a little strange to be a creature, and in fact, for centuries, people in the Night Kingdom thought the demon king was magic and phenomena...

"If I get a lot of magic of light at once and have a star in my body, I do understand the reason why I can live without getting any more magic of light."

Oh, is that what this is about?I see. Does the Demon King need a star on his stomach to live without eating?

... on the contrary, now that there is no star pattern, the demon king wanted a star pattern in his stomach and ate a lot of light.

Rene has a star in her eyes.

I was a little surprised by the dragon king's abrupt explanation.I suddenly got to talking about Rene.

... but I know that.

Rene's eyes are starry.The vibrant navy blue, the light seeping like that, sparkling and very beautiful.

That's the magic of light.Rene was fortunate enough to be born with a lot of magic.There is also a lot of magic in light. That's why those eyes are so beautiful. "

The dragon king smiled a little as he wrote so.... I see. Do you think the Dragon King is beautiful about Rene?I think everyone in the country at night is strange and beautiful, but from the perspective of the people in the country at night, Rene's eyes seem a bit special and beautiful.

Oh, I'm kind of glad about that.I think it's valuable to look at the same thing and think it's just as beautiful.

Rene was chosen as the guardian of the sky tree because she would live for that long.

... but when you do, you know... somehow, you feel a little lonely.

Rene was born beautiful, but that's why she held an unwanted position...

When I think of Lene's frightened state when she was having a stroke in her heart, I feel kind of lonely.... I think the magic of light is very important in this world.

The Demon King also wants the magic of light.If he is a living thing, he will need some magic of light to sustain it.Maybe the Demon King wants the magic of light to survive. "

I cannot help but be convinced by the story of the Dragon King.Maybe even the Demon King needs the magic of light to live...I still don't know what this magic of light is.

Aside from the reason why you want to survive, is there a reason why you want the magic of light?

I wonder if there is any other reason, and I will ask the Dragon King.

Then, the Dragon King thought about it a bit... and thought about it...

Beautiful when glowing.

Yes, you answered.

Um, um, yeah, that's right...

Oh, is it beautiful when it shines?Does that mean that my bird is also beautiful...?

... Speaking of which, I just remembered that my bird likes to shine.

"You know, why do you want to shine so much?"

So I quickly decided to ask the bird, who is as difficult to communicate with as the Demon King.

The birds are squealing and tilting their necks. Please.

Because Hikaru wants to stand out?

When I heard it, the bird leaned again... wings widened and chest stretched. Kyokyo.

... I feel proud.Uh, I wonder if this is a prominent pose.

"... do you want to stand out because you're a spirit?"

This leaned my neck.Ah, yes. I wonder if this bird wants to shine...

I don't know, but the bird stuck his neck in his feathers... and from inside he came out a clear green fruit shaped like golden sugar.Oh, this is a star rattlesnake.... why do you keep it in your feathers?

Suddenly, I don't know what to do with the star snail, and the bird pushes the sucked star snail to my mouth.I know you're going to eat it, so I can't help it.

Crunchy texture. Cucumbery and sour taste.Hmm, it tastes like starfish...

"... um, what's wrong?"

Why am I being kept warm by the body temperature of a bird and eaten by a warm starfish?When I asked the bird, the bird also said,I tilted my neck with a face like '.What the hell is this?

And then the birds started shooting star rattles out of their feathers again, and this time they ate them themselves... and began to glow.In this case, it seems that when the cat eats it, it dances while glowing, but when the bird eats it does not get drunk, it just glows.

When the birds glow brilliantly, they nod to their satisfaction... and give me star butterflies again... um, how many feathers do you have in them?

After all, I didn't shine when I ate the starfish. [M]That's not a cat...

The bird looks at me like that and looks a little unhappy or sad.

"Um, did you want me to shine?"

When asked, the bird nodded fluffily.Oh, you wanted to shine a light on me.... no, I have no idea.

When I spoke to the bird, I buried it thinking, "Well, I don't know."

When you bury it in the chest of a bird, somehow, it's completely buried in a fluffy feather with no bottom, and it feels so fluffy and plump. It's glowing.

"... so even if I asked the bird, I didn't know."

I guess so.

"But the birds were warm."

"That's good."

I went back to my room and reported information from the Dragon King and the birds.

The point is, maybe the Demon King just wants the magic of light, or maybe he wants to be beautiful and stand out.I also reported on my bird.He is still shining well today.

"... I don't know what the Devil thinks."

Laocles watched the glowing bird fly outside the window and said.

"If you want to stand out, I don't know."

"You want Laocles to stand out, too?"

"No."

Oh, good. If Laocles wanted to glow, I hate it a little bit...

"... the Demon King has long been thought of as a kind of natural disaster?"

Yeah, it seems so.

"Then you tried to make a good impression on yourself by being prominent... No, the Devil didn't seem to know that people lived on the earth in the first place. Then...."

"so that my ancestors can find it?"

Oh, maybe so.

I wonder if the Demon King wanted to see the first Red Gard and other red dragons again and try to shine.Of course, it seems to have eaten light since before, so there are other reasons, such as life support.

But simply wanting to become a star pattern... I'm sure that includes that kind of reason.

Because the Demon King is about to talk.

The Demon King is about to speak.It seems very unusual for people in the country at night.It seems that the Demon King hasn't spoken before, and that's why he's surprised now.

... because I'm sure the demon king wants to stand out.I think you're making a noise that you're here.In order to make you realize, I think you have tried to make a voice that you have barely spoken before.

"If the Demon King hadn't spoken, I'd have wiped out the Demon King."

Hmm, I think.

The demon king cried, "Maoon."That's why we realized, "Speaking of which, I don't like the demon king disappearing..."No, I thought of that possibility... I didn't even know if the Demon King had the will in the first place.I thought it was something I didn't have.

"Well... that's right. For the first time since the demon king spoke, we started thinking about the demon king."

Faye looked up at the Demon King and looked reluctant as she said so.

... now that I realize that the Demon King is kind of cute, playful or something like that... I'm just terrified that I was trying to erase the Demon King.

"A voice that is not spoken is just as absent.Speak up and be recognized by others for the first time.... as the Lord said before. "

That's what Laocles said, and he went on a little awkward.

"'As long as you don't speak, you don't exist.'... when I had an affair with the gardener I was hired to, if I'd been silently scolded, I'd have been told.I was told to tell you what you had to say... well, I'm still not sure I can keep that teaching.But, well, I care. "

I kind of like Laocles when you talk to me like this.I love the stories of people who live longer than I do, have more experience than I do, and still think about things properly.

"... the point is, expressing something is worth it.Those who do not express their existence can be said to have no choice but to be treated as non-existent.That is why it is worthwhile to express your thoughts or assert your existence. "

Think about it a little.

Words that are not spoken are the same as those that do not exist.... yeah. I think the teacher said something similar.He said, "That's why I write, Togo."The teacher writes in order to make the world represented by the teacher's words and the teacher's words exist.Yeah, because you can't be born without a teacher.

Same as that. It's the same if I don't insist on anything. Yeah, I know.

"... maybe. Yeah, I know."

However, I look up at the Demon King... and think at the same time.

"But that's why I think I really had to check on the Demon King...."

I don't want you to miss out on your efforts to hear the voices where you don't speak.

The voice-speaking side must not fail in its efforts to speak.But at the same time, the listener must not fail to listen...For everyone to be happy, it's better not to talk or listen...

"Well... maybe so."

"It's quite a difficult story.I didn't think he was going to talk, and I wonder if he could talk to stones and insects... "

That's right. I know what Fai's saying.To some extent, I can't help it. Besides, I'm sure I have to draw a line somewhere.In the first place, the talking side is more efficient than the listening side...

... that's why I'm so happy that the Demon King is ringing "Maoon" right now.

"Well, that's good. This time, the Devil spoke to me in time!Nothing ever happens that can't be undone.Well, then... let's relax and get along with the Demon King.He's weird, but he's a good guy. "

"Is he a good guy...?"

"There's plenty of potential for reconciliation, isn't there?"

Yeah, I think so.Demon King is a good guy. Maybe.

... yeah. It's okay. We're still in time. All right. Let's cheer up.

So, I thought about it.

And Fei suddenly said.

Maybe the Devil King is a kind of spirit.

"Heh? Spirit? Why?"

You work with me? Why is that again?

If I was confused, Faye explained it to me in a little hurry. [M]

"Look, at a time when it's close to magic, phenomena, natural disasters, etc., it's a spiritual thing."

Uh, uh, wait a minute.Spirits? Spirits... that's what they are!?

"No, you're not.Spirits are precious, aren't they?On the contrary, if you take good spirits as spirits, you will become a good spirits. "

No, I don't.

... but it feels a little understandable. Even in Japan, God says that if you don't take care of it, it will cause a mutation in heaven and earth, or that even evil spirits will become God if they are worshipped as God.Like Michima Sugawara, right?

"That's why... I wondered if the Devil King could see the spirits that got worse."

"I wonder if a slightly bad spirit wants to shine."

I'll take a look at the birds.The bird is tilting its neck like, "What?"... I wonder if the birds that take people's bread and mochi from the side are among the bad ones.A little bad, I feel like the birds are in it. Yeah.

"No, well, not that bird again... you know, people can see it when it glows, right?So, if you believe in it, will you regain your power as a spirit...?Hmm, on the contrary, people in the country at night thought it was a phenomenon, a natural disaster, magic, so maybe that's what the Devil King was like. "

That's... kind of an amazing idea.

Depending on what you think, you can change your appearance and power.I'm sure he's not a creature...

"Anyway, since we realized the existence of the Demon King, the Demon King may be able to communicate with us.Doesn't that mean that if you start to think of the Demon King as a "cute little snack creature", the Demon King will become such a creature?If you're cute, you'll be cute. "

"I think that's quite difficult, but...."

In fact, the Devil King is huge. It's in the sky.Maoon, it rings.Hmm... No, but he's pretty cute...

"Ah... maybe that's why the Demon King wants stars.Like Rene's eyes, or does it suit the optics? If that happens, the people of the Night Land will like it, and you can become a good shape for the Night Land? "

... I don't know about that.

But, um... maybe it's very important for the Demon King to become a star.In general, I've been telling you that it would make me a snack, and there's no reason why we shouldn't help it...

... okay. Well, no.

Well then, let's draw a pattern on the demon king.

Make the Demon King a star.Let's make it a beautiful demon king who can't beat Rene's eyes. Let's do it.

If the Devil wants it, I want it to come true!
