Chapter 141 Intermission Alice ~ The Thoughts Dwelling within the Shadows ~ (1/2)

To me, the life and death of others isn’t something that interests me.

My priority is the peace of the world, not the peacefulness of my own life. If I judge that you’re unnecessary for the world, even if you are the king of a country, you will have to disappear.

If I were to ask Kuro-san, she will probably just say that I’m dull…… but if you ask me, Kuro-san and the other members of the Six Kings are too lenient.

The turbulent people are like the scum gathering in the stew, they would keep bubbling up one after another without limit if left alone.

That’s why someone has to take out the scums in order to keep the world peaceful.

However, I also tend to be lenient with those I’m close to.

On the day before the summoning of the Hero, I went to the location of the magic circle due to the information brought to me by my subordinates.

The fact that I, myself would be moving means that it’s a situation that my subordinates couldn’t handle……]

[……What are you doing, Kuro-san?]

[……Shalltear……]

[That’s the magic circle for summoning heroes, right? If you pour that much magic power into it…… It will go out of control.]

[……Unnn…… sorry.]

At my questioning words, Kuro-san turns around with a sad expression on her face.

What she was doing was tinkering the summoning magic circle…… Kuro-san poured a large amount of magic power into the summoning process, making the process of summoning to be almost run out of control, and if it were used, the likely result would be that the person being summoned wouldn’t be alone.

[……Kuro-san. I hate to say this, but even if you increase the number of people summoned, “your wish is”……]

[I know that! I don’t know if it’s even possible……]

[…………..]

I can understand why Kuro is trying to do this, and I can honestly feel her pain.

That’s why I hesitated. Should I stop her, or should I let her go……

Kuro is like a parent to me, and I owe her a great debt of gratitude for raising me…… It’s painful to realize that Kuro-san has been holding onto this wish for a long time, that she herself even feels that she can’t make it come true.

[……Hahh…… Just this once, okay?]

[……Shalltear?]

[Just this one time, it can be explained that it’s just the residual magic going out of control…… I’ll make the necessary adjustments after this incident.]

[……Thank you.]

[However, I don’t think it’s possible. Even if you increase the number of people you summon, a person who will grant your wish won’t appear…… Well, you probably know that already.]

After saying that much, I left the room with the summoning magic circle.

I went outside and gave my subordinates instructions on how to cover up the situation and making it look like the magic power in the vicinity went out of control, and wishing that there won’t be any irregularities that would happen, I waited for the next day.

Yeah, well, as for the conclusion of the incident…… it did occur, an irregularity I mean……

The summoning magic circle that summoned the First Hero…… Hikari-san, it was adjusted by Shallow Vernal-sama to summon beings who are “close to Hikari-chan’s age when she was summoned”.

Hikari-san was 17 years old when she was summoned to this world. So, the person summoned by the summoning magic circle from another world should be about 16-18 years old.

That’s why, it was a real shock when I heard from the subordinates that I made to infiltrate that there was one of them that was 21 years old.

Miyama Kaito…… An irregularity who should be outside of Shallow Vernal-sama’s technique’s age of selection.

I immediately investigated the irregular being, Miyama Kaito.

As soon as I saw the reason for his summoning, I knew right away.

A piece of Kuro’s magic power was in him, he had the ability to become the being that Kuro-san wanted.

That’s why he was able to be summoned to this world, even though the person summoned should have only been 16-18 years old.

To be honest, I was quite confused about how to deal with him.

Having the qualities and being able to fulfill them are two different things…… I couldn’t quite believe that he was capable of holding his own against Kuro-san.

So, I decided to make contact with him and measure him myself.

There’s nothing crueler than making a person feel hope for something you can’t fulfill. If I decided it was impossible for him, I would immediately pull him away from Kuro-san.

With that thought in mind, I disguised myself as a human and contacted him……

[……Hahhh~~ Kaito-san should be in the Demon Realm by now huh~~ How boring…… wait, arehh?]

I became surprised by the words I muttered while sitting at the counter in the late afternoon.

Boring? What am I saying? That kinda sounds like I’m missing Kaito-san since he’s not coming……

It’s been about a month since I started interacting with Kaito-san using the name Alice.

At first, I thought it would really be impossible for him, but Kaito-san was far more than I could ever imagine.
