1535 War and Peace, Part 73 - First Day of Conference, Night (7) -

"Oh, oh? Don't you know Hidun's gone? Apparently Hidun didn't share any information with anyone and was moving completely alone. Then I guess nobody knows what the hell's going on with the agents he's been using."

"I know there are other agents out there, but I don't have the means to contact them sideways. I thought it was strange because Hidun didn't hear back from me. But I didn't know you'd been hit. Is he dead?

"Come on? But I haven't heard from you since we met in Tarrum. My split got hit early in Tarram, so I don't know the details. Doom or Hidun used to communicate between us. When Hidun is gone, Doom is primarily the liaison, but Doom shouldn't know my main body, so I can't get in touch with Oranzeble either. Well, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Doesn't matter?

Mascalade had a bad feeling. The atmosphere of calamity is different from when I saw it before. It must be evil, but he said he couldn't know the bottom any more, or he seemed to hate people freely.

Calamity answers.

"Well, I'm no longer under the control of Orange Bull. It's a boarded boat, and I want to see a lot of mountain people die, so... but I'll get the Orange Bull thing done. I don't think it's a good idea to turn the Orange Bull against the enemy right now.

But then my freedom. To begin with, all human nations in the east will perish. After that I haven't thought about whether to cross over to the eastern continent or to the western countries. "

"What about the Orange Bull?

"The Orange Bull finds it and will surely kill it. You have to make me pay the price for making me false. I like you. You'd rather give me a hand than be on a sinking ship? How about that? Can you help me?

Calamity has reached out. It's impossible to turn down this hand. If you refuse, you are likely to be killed by play on the spot. But if you take this hand, it means turning the black magician against the enemy and cutting off all support for your people. Neither taking nor not taking this hand is synonymous with ruin. It's just the difference between who you are or who you are.

Mascalade asked Calamity a question, holding him back from about to faint.

"... my principle of action is always one. restoration of my fellow Sconner, what will you do with it"

"Oh, no. After destroying the kingdom of man, dwell in whatever land you will. The only person I resent is a human being. I don't care about any other species."

"Then I'll get the land I need. So, what do I do?

"Putting Arnelia out of bounds is not as easy as it is with me. If you had an inside man, I'd appreciate that. When Romansland approaches Arnelia, he responds from the inside and opens the gate. That's what you do. Can you?"

Honestly, I can't think of any means at the moment, Mascarade, but it didn't mean I couldn't. Calamity smiled contentedly at Mascalade, who nodded silently.

Mascalade goes on to ask more questions.

"One more thing, I am now eyed by Arnelian spies. You can't move freely unless you finish him off. Can you help me get rid of him?

"Really? I'd say do something, but I'm in a good mood right now. That interrupter, can I do it if I turn it off? I wonder who it is.

"It's Hamitte, Gloria's teaching. You must be the one who used to work behind Arnelia, pretty good at it."

"Hmm. Shall I turn about three of my splits, just in case? I'll make sure you kill him, okay?

"Oh, sure."

Mascalade unconsciously learned reliability in Calamity's words. If Calamity targets you, you won't be able to live as much as Hamitte. Now I can finally get one freedom back. Mascarade was screaming delightfully inside.

Because of that, Mascarade even asked unnecessary questions.

"Hey, tell me one thing too. Why does Calamity hate humans so much? Is that for any reason?

"... well, if you're Sconner, you've been abused, haven't you? Shall I tell you? I need to shackle you with one thing before I do."

"Shackles?"

Calamity took the veil and showed his face to Mascalade. Mascalade guessed and screamed small about what it meant.

"Oh, before. That you showed me that face."

"Yeah, we can't go back, can we? If I am to be read your memory, I will be spared who I am. If you can identify yourself, there will be more countermeasures against me. Not only does the assassination of a human specialty inevitably come, but it can also lead to problems between nations.

If there's anything like letting someone know who I am, I'll find you, as well as some fellow Sconner living somewhere hidden, and kill them all. In the most wretched way I know. So you're desperate to keep your promise to me? Be more careful, be more polite than ever.

By the way, what did you think when you saw this face?

"... beautiful. For humans, it's a lot. Even me in Sconner, I think it's beautiful. Is that your face?

To the words of Mascalade, after Calamity shook his body often, he laughed like crazy as he twisted his body. The condition was as if it were a madman himself, and Mascalade realized that she had stepped into a place she should not touch. I didn't feel more alive than any training ground I've ever had. I'm glad I kept the soundproofing magic on my husband. If my husband wakes up now, there's no life.

Laughing, Calamity turns her insanely pregnant eyes to Mascalade.

"Yes, you have such a beautiful face! Unfortunately, this is why I hate humans. I hate, man hates everything. How can a human be eaten alive by a bug and die screaming of the Terminator. I hate beautiful people, I hate mindless people, I hate magical people, I hate happy people! Die, die, die, die!!

"Calamity... what the hell are you"

"Ha, ha, ha!

Mascalade was flabbergasted before Calamity, who often kept laughing like crazy, but Calamity was calm when it also eventually healed.

"- Phew. I'm sorry I disturbed you. I wonder when I've had this kind of emotion in front of someone else."

"Don't worry, Mascarade. I really like you. I've liked it since I first saw it. And I knew exactly why."

"Why do you like me?

As Mascalade listened back, Calamity grabbed Mascalade's shoulder firmly and slapped her softly in the ear.

"I really like the fact that I stand alone trying to beat my fate, and that I can only be unhappy no matter how I lift it. I used to be, too, no matter how crying or desperate, no one could help me. But you're not, I don't see it like that. I'll take care of your misfortune.

Let's start with Hamitte. I'll kill you for sure. It's just that I have a lot to do on the surface stage, too, so it's early and after tomorrow evening. Hopefully, you can follow Hamitte's footsteps and contact me. "

- Let's do something good.

"Heh heh, good boy."

Mascarade remembered the sensation in his ear and jumped unexpectedly. When he saw a long, hundred-legged tongue coming out of Calamity's mouth, and realized that it was licking him in the ear with it, Mascalade felt like he heard a bloody retreat from his face.

Did Calamity satisfy her addiction by looking at the blue mascarade, or Calamity trying to leave the room with the giggle of dullness. Along the way, once I stopped my foot perfectly, Mascarade was clearly twisted and upset.

"Anything yet?

"Yes, there's only one thing I need from you - I like you unfortunate. So I'll cooperate, and I'll move for you. So I can't allow you to be happy - dispose of your belly child before he grows up."

"... what?

"Oh, you haven't noticed. You're pregnant. I just did, but for sure. Something with pheromones specific to pregnant women. I don't like kids. You did say something nice, didn't you?

tickles, and finally laughed and Calamity disappeared. Mascalade didn't just feel the despair that had caught his eye on Calamity, he knew that what he feared the most had happened at the worst time ever, and suddenly sat nagging on the spot.

Mascarade was caught in the illusion as if all the ground but the ground on which he was sitting now had become naked.
