Legend of Eudemons

"Do you really want to participate in the audition?"

On this side, the interrogation of Shiratori and Kena is over.Kanna felt helpless all over.The two were on their way back to Kaina's bedroom.

Shiratori answered energetically: "Yes!"

"He kept saying that he would be my assistant officer without even a notice, and he suddenly appeared at the party, which was really shocking." Kaina showed a skeptical expression, "Besides, being my assistant officer is not good for you at all! You have such a great background, you should choose someone with more promise."

"Promising people? Aren't you and Delloni the only ones who want to choose assistant officers? As for my younger brothers and sisters, it will take too much time to wait for them to grow up and see which one is more promising." Shiratori said, White eyelashes covered the white eyeballs, showing a deep smile: "Besides, didn't I say that I liked you very much? This is not a perfunctory word, I really think so."

Kena could somewhat understand what he meant, and compared to him, Dalony, who was doing nothing all day and attracting people, didn't look much better.But: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​being an assistant officer? As Kotraka said, the job of an assistant officer is very tedious and boring."

"I didn't think about it that way at first," Shiratori said, showing a sly smile, "However, seeing you being so pitiful, ridiculed by other concubines, outdated compared to your brothers and sisters, stared at by your aunt, I think Empathize."

"……what?"

"If I come to be your assistant officer, I will be better than anyone else." Shiratori said confidently, "I'm not boasting, I'm very strong."

Of course Keina believed it!Needless to say, he has seen it with his own eyes.Even just looking at his dreamy appearance, you can see that he hides mysterious power, which makes people fearful.If his older brothers and sisters didn't have phantom beasts yet, they would definitely be interested in seeing rare species like Shiratori.Shiratori made a declaration of choosing himself, presumably something most people dream of, but Keina still hesitated.

"I said, is this really good?"

"Why, I always felt that you were not very happy at the beginning. Is this the young master who makes you dissatisfied?" Shiratori pouted, and said willfully: "Ah~ Really, it's a pity that people care about you so much, forget it~~ "

"I haven't thought about it that way." Keina muttered, "But I don't know anything about your past. Shiratori also doesn't know what kind of person I am. Is this really good?"

"If you chose other Eudemons at the selection meeting, you definitely don't know him. You have to start from the beginning to understand."

"I know this. I mean..." Kaina stroked his forehead, thinking about the words, "Even if I have a bad personality and give a lot of convulsive orders, other Eudemons will obey me, because they are trained to be like that Yes, 'absolutely obey'. But Shiratori should not be this kind of person."

"So that's how it is~" Shiratori nodded and said in an 'I understand' manner, "Is the little prince afraid that I won't listen to you?"

How dare Kenna order him?

"...It's not." Keina rubbed his forehead, "You got it wrong. I mean, can someone like me really be qualified to be your master... Ah, I don't mean to say I want to order you, let’s just say, it’s too disrespectful for someone like me to be your master, I’m so sorry for you..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became.Shiratori listened to him with a playful face.

"No, you don't have to be so self-effacing." Shiratori felt a little funny, "I guess you should also know that just because I'm your assistant officer doesn't mean I recognize you as my master like I recognize Lian Ji."

Kena nodded, "I know that's the case, so I wonder why you want to be my assistant officer. Although you said it was a whim, did you really do this kind of troublesome job just because of a whim?"

Shiratori still had a disapproving expression, but he looked at Kaina for a while, and his expression calmed down: "Well, it's really more than that. The little prince is really hard to fool."

Kenna pursed her lips

"I was outside just now, so I didn't answer you seriously. One of the reasons is that you look pitiful, but——" He reached out to stroke Kena's hair, like a child's head, but in fact he was the one who looked The smaller one.

"I think you might be in danger."

"what?"

Kena looked at him straight, ignoring his hands, "Why do you think so?"

"Those grave robbers." Shiratori said with a serious face. "Although I have warned them not to tell your story, but that kind of person is all the time. When there are more pressing interests or threats, they have no position. If their employers know that they send someone If you found out about stealing things in the palace, would you do nothing? I don’t think so. Since that person has the ability to send thieves into the palace, he might also let the killer in.”

"...You are worried about my safety..." Kena felt a little moved, "I just met yesterday..."

"You can't take it lightly, even in a palace. You know that."

Keena nodded sharply.

"Running to the clan meeting, is it also because of...worried?" Keina said while thinking, "Because that person should be a powerful royal family or a big noble... Don't you think that that person Will it be among the members of the clan association...? So I ran to check?"

Shiratori was quite surprised at first, and then smiled sweetly: "A little bit. In fact, I have been following behind you, keeping undiscovered."

"It's so messy!" Kena's sudden excitement was a bit unexpected to Shiratori, "You also said that those thieves might not listen to your warning. If they tell me about me, they will definitely even And about you—there is no other conspicuous face like yours. As long as you hear the description, you will be able to recognize it at first sight. If that person is really among the guests of the clan association, you must have been I found out——if you don't make your debut in front of so many people, no one will know that you have come out of the cemetery, why bother! What if he is really among the clansmen? Like throwing a snare—”

Shiratori was very calm, patting his cheek lightly, preventing him from getting more and more agitated, "Okay, okay. Rather than worrying about me, it's better to worry about yourself. You have no ability to protect yourself. And, After all, it’s just a case in case, and I’m not sure if the group of thieves reported the truth. I didn’t find any suspicious guys at the clan meeting. I should feel at ease for the time being.”

Kena also sat down, "Who would put a label on his face saying that he is a suspicious guy! Besides, what do you use to judge who is suspicious?"

"As you said, you can't find another one with my appearance, so it's impossible to admit your mistake. If that person has heard of me before, the moment he saw me, at least the first moment, his reaction It must be different from others.”

Keina pursed his lips and admitted in his heart that what he said made sense.But isn't this approach like using yourself as a bait? It's too stupid and dangerous!If that person was really at the clan meeting and already knew of Shiratori's existence, then he must have been targeted this time.

"Stop doing this kind of thing again."

Keena rubbed his forehead and said softly.Kaina is flattered that Shiratori cares so much about himself who just met and doesn't understand at all, but if Shiratori himself is in danger because of this, Kaina will also be very sad at that time.

Shiratori showed a comforting smile and rubbed his face: "Okay. I didn't expect the little prince to care so much. I won't in the future."

He paused, and then said: "Although no suspicious person was found at the clan meeting, you still have to be careful recently. It's best not to stay too far away from me."

"Well, I got it!" The little prince answered very frankly because his heart was fluctuating now.

"...By the way, does not being too far away from you also include this?"

At first Shiratori told him that it was to protect him, and Kena was really moved.But at this time, he only has embarrassment~~.

Shiratori lay on his bed as if it should be right, his legs were shaking and shaking very briskly.It was because Kena asked this that he raised his head with an innocent look on his face.

"Are you going to sleep here, White Bird?" Kayna asked again.

"Didn't it be yesterday?"

Kayna drooped his head. "This..."

Because I had a terrible dream yesterday, I took advantage of the situation and let Shiratori accompany me.At that time, I was really flustered.The appearance of the white bird is like a life-saving straw.Once you start it, you can't stop it.

Seeing his troubled thoughts, Shiratori smiled and said, "Let him be with you when you're afraid, and drive you out when you don't need it. It really is the style of a prince."

"No... I didn't say that. It's just... I always think it's a bit weird."

"I don't think you're the type who can't sleep well when there's someone next to you. Could it be that you're the kind of sensitive person who can even choke on drinking water if others stand behind?"

"No! Don't compare someone standing next to you while drinking water with someone sleeping next to you when you sleep, okay?"

"Is the little prince shy?" Shiratori smiled slyly, "Or do you think I will cheat on you? This is really unnecessary worry~~"

"I-I didn't think so." Keina shifted his gaze.In fact, somewhere in my heart, I vaguely admitted what he said.Shiratori's sweet face really makes people feel a little bit like a deer.Although I knew that nothing should happen, I couldn't take it as normal in my heart.But in the final analysis, sleeping with people is a rare experience for the prince, so it's only natural that he won't get used to it.

"I thought you'd hate it," Keener said. "Shouldn't someone very close to do that."

"Oh, aren't we friends?" Shiratori said frivolously,

Keina wasn't sure if they were friends or not, it was mainly due to Shiratori's will, he didn't dare to call himself that.But Shiratori said so at this time, and Keina was not sure if he was serious or just talking casually.

"Because I'm lonely." Shiratori said in a childish nasal voice, "I've been living underground alone for 15 years. I don't want to be alone anymore. Doesn't the little prince feel sorry for me like this? No. Do you want to sympathize with me like this?"

You are willing to guard the grave yourself...

Kena complained in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.But when he acted like a baby, he really felt that this guy was really pitiful.Because I like Lian Ji so much, I volunteered to guard the tomb, but after all, guarding the tomb is a monotonous and boring job. I am alone in the dark underground with the corpse—although Lian Ji's corpse is not decomposed into a terrible appearance. , After all, it is also a corpse.

"Okay, I lost to you." Kenna finally bowed his head and admitted defeat.

Shiratori had a victorious look on his face, and Kena knew he had been fooled.

So it became like this again.

Shiratori's soft, child's body fell asleep limply against her.He fell asleep quickly, his breath on Kayna's neck.

What kind of situation is this! !

In times of anxiety and fear, Shiratori is very reassuring by his side.When he was in a normal state of mind, having Shiratori beside him like this made him nervous.

Couldn't Kena be able to sleep in this way?

Shiratori might just be hugging him like a pillow, but Kena was really bothered.And Shiratori would roll around and rub back and forth when he was sleepy.It's cute, but no one else can fall asleep like this.

Kayna was upright, tense and stiff.

Hair... I really want to touch it!Although he is asleep, Shiratori is very sensitive, stretching out his hand might wake him up?Shouldn't you be beaten?

Gently, tiptoeing...

touch it.

The touch is as soft and silky as expected.It's so nice to touch~~It's really healing~~

No! !

This situation is not because Shiratori will misbehave against Kaina, but because Kaina himself has misbehaved against Shiratori, right?After sneaking through Shiratori's hair, Keina sighed inwardly.

...didn't sleep well all night.

With dark circles under his eyes, Kena didn't even think about skipping class.

"The little prince has no energy."

"Whose fault do you think it is!"

"It's not good to be so easily influenced. You need to have a strong heart that can sleep comfortably next to a corpse." Shiratori said while peeling the grapefruit, without thinking about it.

"There is no such person! I don't need to guard the grave!" Keina said, and then a grapefruit was stuffed into his mouth.

"Eat this and be happy."

Keina was gagged by the grapefruit and could not speak in protest.
