FX:*footsteps*

Yuuri: Ah, Conrad. I found you.

Conrad: Your Majesty!

Yuuri: Argh... Hey, you know? If you keep that up I'll start calling you Lord Weller.

Conrad:*laughs* Well, that wouldn't be good. But it's still working hours so I thought it would be best to call you Your Majesty.

Yuuri: Why? It's mean... Right now, I got some time off from royal work.

Conrad: Really, is that so? Ah.. but, isn't it still time for your lessons with Günter? What happened with him? I don't think he would cut short his happy one-on-one time with Your Majesty out of his own will...

Yuuri: That's true, but... Ah! Is it okay if I sit down here?

Conrad: Go ahead.

FX: *Yuuri sits down*

Conrad: They I'll sit by your side. Excuse me.

FX: *Conrad sits down*

Conrad: So? What happened to Günter?

Yuuri: He said there was some trouble at his parents' house, so he had to wake up early in the middle of the night to go there, so he was sleep deprived.

Conrad: Eh... the von Christ family?

Yuuri: Hm. If something happened there during the night, I haven't heard anything about it. But then, I thought he looked a little sick, because his face was red, you know? So I touched him like this, to see if he had a fever.

Conrad: Mh... Like this? Yuuri, that's bad.

Yuuri: Eh? Why? Don't you usually do it like this? Ah! Is it perhaps that in Shin Makoku you have a special way of taking someone's temperature?

Conrad: No, actually there's no special way but... to touch his forehead like this. Must have surely been a killer technique on Günter.

Yuuri: Killer technique?

Conrad: That's right. I think that when Günter got his temperature taken by you he must have swooned.

Yuuri: That's exactly what happened! Wow, how did you guess that Conrad? Günter, you know? He went "Gah~!" and his face got all red and in a second he started nose-bleeding and lots of stuff came out of his nose and it was about to get all over me, though I somehow managed to dodge it. But I was almost covered, from head to toes, in Günter-juice.

Conrad: That would have been bad. So, where's Günter now?

Yuuri: When I called out for help, Gisela, who was off duty, came and now she's taking care of him. I too was nursing him, but Gisela said that if I was to be by Günter's side when he woke up, he would start nose bleeding again. "Your Majesty, please go play outside" - she said and then I was kicked out.

Conrad:*laughs* I see. But despite her rebuttal, she's qualified to handle this.

Yuuri: I see... She's a pro of medical treatment after all. Thinking about it, Gisela is his daughter after all. Günter too will feel better being treated by his own daughter, safer.

Conrad: That's right. And besides, thanks to that, I now, unexpectedly, got some time to spend with Yuuri like this.

Yuuri: You're exaggerating. But, Conrad? Don't you have things to do? Ah! Could it be that even though you were going somewhere, since I call out to you, you had to stop ?

Conrad: No. Up until a bit ago, I was at the parade ground teaching how to fight with swords but I was on my way back from that, and I have time to spare. That's why when I was found by you, I was happy.

Yuuri:*laughs* Conrad, you teach sword fighting, huh?

Conrad: Kind of. But since my sword was used in real battles, I'm not a proper opponent to the soldiers. That's because I'm not really a teacher.

Yuuri: Eh~? But when I hear "used in real battles", I think that's kind of cool. Kind of like saying: " I'll wait here for your hundred best soldiers to attack me"

Conrad: No. It's not cool at all, not even a bit. With my sword I've killed many people. That's why I can't believe that you would think that's a good thing.

Yuuri: Conrad...

Conrad: Yuuri, you are a king who loves peace, right? That's why you can't praise a tool that was used to murder.

Yuuri: Hm. That's right. That's right, but...

Conrad: But?

Yuuri: You know? Your sword has been used to save people. To save people, it must have been used to take many other lives. But, I'm sure, there are also many lives that that sword has protected. For example, the soldiers that fought with you in your unit during the last war didn't let the enemy cross the borders and into the country, and thanks to that, the civilians from Shin Makoku were not involve in the war.

Conrad:Ah...

Yuuri: But this doesn't mean at all that I don't care whether we go to war or not.

Conrad: Yes, I understand.

Yuuri: Hm. And also, in other words... uhm... ah~! No, I can't! This is all too serious. I thought that I could justify it if it was for a greater cause, but I can't. There's no way someone like me who's bad at studying can even finish saying this...

Conrad: Yuuri.

Yuuri: In short, at least for me, your sword is not a tool that was used to murder. That's what I wanted to say. Since the first time I came to this world, you have only wielded that sword to help me. I know that well.

Conrad: Yuuri.

Yuuri: I'm grateful. I'm super grateful. That's why, when you lost that left arm and you were not around, I honestly had no idea what to do.

Conrad: I'm sorry ...

Yuuri: I mean it. When I thought you were dead, I didn't want to believe it. I thought that your arm and sword would always protect me.

Conrad: Yuuri, don't cry.

Yuuri:*sniffs* I'm not crying. It's just that, when I remember about what happened back then, even now, my heart starts pounding. *laughs* You know? Since everyone entered a "sweet mode" when I was around, I really couldn't go out in public. It was insane! I thought it was like a magic show.

Conrad: That's right. That was my life's worst "illusion".

Yuuri: You scared me Princess Tenko. When I saw you had your arm back, I thought "For sure, he's not human anymore". Honestly.

Conrad: Well, that's because I'm partly mazoku.

Yuuri: That's not what I mean. I thought there was something inside you that made your limbs grow, you know? Like an octupus or a squid... ah no, that's wrong. Uhm... a lizard? A lizard that can grow its tail , something like that.

Conrad:*laughs* That's mean.

Yuuri: It's not. After all mazoku can be things like kohis or kochis, right? Even if they're in pieces, you go "Alright! Let's put them back together", and they wake up and fly away. Even so, in the case of those guys if all of the original parts are not put back together, you can't rebuild them. And then you...

Conrad: Sorry~. But, even for me it was unexpected . I did not think it would ever be possible, to get the severed arm of a stranger.

Yuuri: But you know? Even now, I still don't know the story behind that or how it happened. So in the end, your left arm is...?

Conrad: My original arm was taken from me. That's why, this left arm is not really mine. It's someone else's arm.

Yuuri: What do you mean by "someone else's"?

Conrad: That too is a conjecture. It's just...

Yuuri: It's just...?

Conrad: According to what Gwendal said, my left arm which was cut off, did not rot for some reason. Knowing that, it could be that the original person who owned this left arm, also had an arm with similar properties.

Yuuri: In short, a person with an arm that doesn't rot?

Conrad: That's right.

Yuuri: Hm... I think I may have an idea as to how that happened... let's see. Maybe you have a coating on your body that doesn't let it rot.

Conrad: No way. If I had such a body, it would have been very useful during war times. Then the open wounds wouldn't have swollen and hurt in the sea. It would have been great if they wouldn't have changed color, got necrosis, or maggots in them...

Yuuri: Uaee... Sorry Conrad. I'm really sorry about all the things soldiers had to go through but... please don't give me such a graphic image. I hate grotesque things...

Conrad: My bad. But during the times of war, the arm I had did not have any special features. That's why for my arm not to have rotten, it means something else, something bigger gave it its power.

Yuuri: Something bigger?

Conrad: Yes. For example, His Majesty Shinou.

Yuuri: Shinou...

Conrad: Yes. Most likely. For him, we are like pieces on a chessboard. If you start thinking that everything since the beginning was a work of the Shinou, it's a little bit shocking, isn't it?

Yuuri: By since the beginning, you mean... you helping my mom get to the hospital, and becoming the person who named me? That?

Conrad: That too. But I'm talking about things that happened long before that. Us three brothers, being the sons of Cäcilie and having three different fathers.

Yuuri: That long ago?! *sighs* Shinou has a lot of patience.

Conrad: The Shinou has been writing this script for a long, long time, and now we're all faithfully playing our parts. If you think about it like that... it's unbearable, right?

Yuuri: Unbearable?

Conrad: Yes. Don't you think? That meeting, those feelings you had too, even the death of that person, it was all planned ahead by someone.

Yuuri: I see. But for argument's sake, even if that plan existed in advance, you know? Such magnificent plan, has nothing to do with us.

Conrad: It doesn't have to do with us?

Yuuri: Right, it doesn't. When I think about difficult stuff my head starts going round and round, and I don't even know where I'm standing. If the previous me would start telling me things about my previous life, they would also tell me about how that life ended.

Conrad: Previous life?

Yuuri: Yes, even though in our lives there are many things that happen to us, we can't take responsibility for what happened before our lives began. If so, living would become too difficult. That's why, even if he has a hidden plan for me, I really don't want to know about it, you know? Because, my life belongs to me. My feelings are only mine, don't you think? C'mon! This applies even to Murata who has lived for 4,000 years, regardless of the memories that have been piling up for that long.

Conrad: Yes.

Yuuri: That's why, you know? Whether there is or not a script that Shinou made, it doesn't matter. Look! When I met you, Gwen and Wolf; Günter and everyone else in Shin Makoku I thought "I'm lucky!" So even if, for example, those encounters were part of someone's plan, I can only think "Who cares?"

Conrad: Ah... Yuuri.

Yuuri: Heh.. and, you know? Whenever you say my name like that, I think, "I'm really happy that back then, you let my mother ride that taxi with you".

Conrad: Yes, me too, Yuuri. I also think that you being born, makes me very happy.

Yuuri: Ah... Mh! Thank you. But you're flattering me, it makes me feel awkward.

Conrad: Don't! That way of thinking of yours, is what always saves me.

Yuuri: No way. You're exaggerating.

Conrad: No. It's not an exaggeration at all, really. I'm happy that you're in my life, Yuuri. The fact that you have the important job of Maou, allowed me to become the Maou's protector, and if this was done by the Shinou, then I can't be grateful enough for this blessing.

Yuuri: Conrad... heh... *stands up* C'mon! Let's go!

Conrad: Yes. *stands up* Let's go!

Yuuri: Any time now, Günter will be fine...

Conrad: That's because Gisela is really good at her job. But really Günter has been getting a lot of nosebleeds lately.

Yuuri: Hasn't he? But, in the past he taught you how to use the sword, right?

Conrad: That's because back then he wasn't stuck in an office all the time. Only since you came...

Yuuri: What's that? Are you saying it's my fault?

Conrad: Well... well..... even if I don't say it, there are still rumors...

Yuuri: Alright, *grabs arm* I'm going to break off that left arm!*laughs*

Conrad: *laughs* Go ahead, go ahead.

Yuuri/Conrad: *laugh*
