Episode 45: Fiancee (3)
7 years ago.
In the Rue Morgue there was an eight-year-old girl with a broken leg.
Morgue Camus.
The youngest head of the household of Morgue, the famous magician.
Her extraordinaryness was extraordinary from the cotyledon.
The time when the young children of the House of Morgue gather to listen to magic lectures.
“Now, the path of magic is difficult. Just as when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you. If you look into the deep magic world, you may be eaten by a huge demon, so you must always be careful.”
When the children who listened to the tutor’s words each felt vague fear and fear.
only one. Camus was snoring.
“Nonsense.”
At those words, the tutor frowned.
“Mr Camus. Why are you saying that doesn’t make sense?”
“When I look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into me. That’s bullshit.”
Camus continued with a dull expression.
“The abyss of magic is so wide and deep that no human mind dares to comprehend it.”
“… … .”
“If I look into the abyss, does the abyss also look into me? Nonsense. How big is the abyss, will it look into me? Just as the ant can see me, it doesn’t mean that I can see the ant, the abyss doesn’t know if I can look into it. I’m not interested. So being afraid that the abyss might look into you is overly self-conscious.”
“… … .”
“Well, I don’t know if it goes up to a certain level. I mean, don’t instill fear in kids who can’t handle mana properly yet.”
At that, the tutor was silent.
Because Camu was right.
He, too, had never been eroded by the abyss of magic while he was able to roll five mana circles by going to class 5.
Of course, if you go beyond the 7th class, which is said to be the ultimate in magic, and go to the point of knocking on the door of the upper level, the story will be different.
Eventually, when the trivial class was over, Camus got up from his seat with a sour expression on his face.
“What is your uncle doing?”
He is the only person in this family who understands his talent and can freely confide his other inner thoughts.
Camus preferred her younger brother, Morgue Adolph, to Morgue Lespannet, his mother and head of the household.
at that time.
Camus heard the conversation between his mother L’Espane and his uncle Adolf in front of the house.
“A vein of ruby extends into the basement of the Baskerville estate?”
“Yes, sister. A collision seems inevitable.”
“It’s a big deal. Hugo, I don’t want to bow down to that asshole… … Besides, that area is also infested with savages. Then, will it be a three-way match?”
“Once the mineral veins extend to the territory of the Baskervilles, it is at a legal disadvantage. Also, the savage tribes on that side are the ones that the Baskervilles have been struggling with for years, so if a conflict breaks out there, in many ways, a lot of damage is expected within the family… … .”
L’Espane and Adolf looked serious.
And in that place came Camus.
“I’ll go take a look.”
At that, L’Espane and Adolf were startled and said,
“He knows what the problem is… … !”
“for a moment. sister. Let’s listen to what he says. Camus is a genius. do you know It might point out things that adults don’t see.”
This is why Camus likes his uncle, Adolf.
Eventually, L’Espane and Adolf, who had heard what Camus had to say, nodded their heads in disbelief.
“Hmm. Let’s push it using the strokes of a child, right?”
“After that, let’s solidify the cooperation system and promote joint development. Mmm. Not a bad opinion.”
It was a really cute opinion, hard to believe it came from the head of an 8-year-old.
furthermore.
“And wouldn’t it be nice if we could discuss the marriage issue together? I like the picture of a joint business between the in-laws rather than bowing down.”
The so-called ‘marriage strategy’. Camus has another good suggestion.
L’Espane asked with her eyes wide open.
“You mean the marriage with the Baskervilles? Then, who should we send?”
“well? what, anyone? What about the useless triplets Highsis, Middlesis, and Lowis?”
Camus just answers indifferently without thinking.
The House of Morgue immediately entered into negotiations.
Adolf visited the Baskervilles with Camus, and Camus used his status as a child to talk to Hugo.
He likened the underground veins to the hands and forearms.
but. Camus had to suffer a bitter defeat for the first time since his birth.
‘That guy’.
An 8-year-old child appeared in the opposing camp.
I don’t know the logic, but in terms of momentum, I was definitely pushed behind by ‘that guy’.
In the end, even after bursting into tears, Kamyu was on the verge of losing consciousness due to anger.
I’ve never had an experience like this before.
Not to mention his 8-year-old peers, there was no one in his teens who could beat him.
Even it was the same for adults.
Everything in the world always went the way Kamu wanted, and it never went beyond expectations.
But that day was different.
Everything was out of Camu’s will.
And the reason was because of the black-haired kid he met for the first time that day, ‘that guy’.
‘If it wasn’t for you… … !’

So Camus was furious. He wanted to show an example to the first match he met in his life.
So, in the gymnasium where swords and magic collided, Kamyu challenged ‘that guy’ to a fight.
I jumped at it with all my might.
However, ‘that guy’ naively avoided it.
… bean! … Crackle Beans Crackle!
His teeth trembled, he flicked his finger across his forehead, just like a joke.
Even the pain was really painful as I kept getting hit at the spot.
In front of my eyes, the nasty face of ‘that guy’ suddenly closes up.
I felt like I was going blind with anger. It feels like only you and that guy are left in the world.
The only thought in my head was that I wanted to give ‘that guy’ a shot.
… … Right then.
Roaring!
The accident happened at the training ground next door.
There was a huge explosion and all the clothes were burned in the embers.
I hurriedly tried to hide behind the dust and fumes, but it only prevented me from being fully exposed for a few seconds.
Then I became worried.
There are countless other people here besides himself and ‘that guy’.
What nonsense is this!
The supernova of the House of Morgue, the genius, the next head of the family, and all the respect and trust he had in one body, suddenly appeared naked in front of everyone.
Even an 8-year-old has innocence. It means you have your own self-esteem.
Camus desperately held back the tears.
To be stripped naked in front of the eyes of children of the same age whom he always ignored and despised.
Aren’t the three sisters, Highsis, Middlesis, and Lowsis, who climbed up especially viciously, in the gym next door!
I didn’t want to cry naked in front of them. You will be made fun of for the rest of your life.
‘… … But what?’
But there was no way out of this situation.
Soon the dust will clear and you will become a laughing stock in the world.
‘Should I die?’
Camus sincerely thought this.
… … Right then.
flutter!
My eyes were stained black.
It was heavy, but something warm and cozy covered Camu’s naked body.
When I look up, I see ‘that guy’ in front of me.
Take off your clothes and cover them, leaving you naked.
‘Isn’t he ashamed?’
Camus thought so, but ‘that guy’ didn’t seem to think so.
The guy proudly showed off his naked body to the whole world. without a hint of shame at all.
Camus felt his heart pounding as he looked at his naked body.
The first match I’ve ever met, the first defeat I’ve experienced since birth, the first confident attitude I’ve seen since birth, and the naked body of the opposite s*x of the same age I’ve seen for the first time since birth.
Numerous firsts were complicatedly tangled in Camu’s head.
The moment that good hair suddenly stopped for the first time, the time that flowed around her stopped as well.
Camus stared blankly at ‘that guy’ for a long time.
Before departing from the family, secretly thinking in my heart that it was a good idea to bring out the ‘marriage strategy’.
And then do it again and again.
‘That guy’ got into a fight with his uncle.
Camu always liked and followed his uncle, but at that moment, he somehow thought that his uncle was savage.
‘… … Adults are all grown up and persecute children.’
I thought I was grateful for always treating my young self like an adult, but not as much as right now.
together?
‘That guy’ continued to challenge his uncle.
An indomitable fighting spirit that does not give up even in the face of a very obvious gap in skill.
Camus felt a complicated state of mind.
I knew my uncle’s strength and greatness, but… … He couldn’t keep his eyes on ‘that guy’.
Deep down, he was surprised by the fact that he was hoping for such an absurd situation in which ‘that guy’ would defeat his uncle.
and.
The fantasy became a reality.
In a situation that even the stubborn Camus thought was hopeless, ‘that guy’ surprisingly overcame his uncle.
ripple ripple… …
The broken water jar, the uncle who was struck by the flowing water and made a dazed expression.
Camus involuntarily cheered at this shocking result.
He even jumped up and down in place.
The uncle looked shocked and said he was sorry, but that was no longer her business.
Always despising the 8-year-olds of her age who laughed and jumped frivolously, she was laughing and running like an ordinary 8-year-old without even realizing it.
after the negotiations have been successfully concluded.
When Camu arrived home, he lay down on the bed.
The doll, which I always hugged while sleeping, decided to lay it down next to me from today.
“Because I am no longer a child.”
Instead, the things I always hugged and slept with have changed.
The black blood of the Baskervilles.
The cloak of the day covered by ‘that guy’ became Camu’s number one favorite item.
Camus slept hugging the clothes every night, and always buried her face deeply in the bloody clothes when she slept.
I thought the musty smell of sweat was somehow good, and if I buried my nose in it, I could sleep well.
Sometimes my heart suddenly jumped, sometimes my whole body felt tickled, and other times I had a sudden urge to bite my collar with my teeth.
When the nanny asked to do the laundry, Camus raised her hand and firmly stopped it.
‘This kind of thing is worth not washing.’
After that, Camus had never washed this bloody garment.
Even after the seasons changed and several birthday cakes came and went, Camus always had the same thought.
‘Where would you like to be by now? What are you trying to do? I wonder if he was taller?’
The girl became a lady like that.
Camus always went to the ruby mine on the pretext of liking rubies, but she couldn’t see ‘that guy’.
I had only heard rumors carried by the wind that I had entered a long practical training session.
And how much time has passed
Camus heard a rumor one day.
The territory of the Baskervilles adjacent to the estate of the Morgue family, a fairly large city on the corner.
It was rumored that a young deputy consul had been newly appointed there.
I hear you had several major accidents as soon as you were appointed?
Of course, the accident is not really an accident, but a mega-achievement.
When Camu heard that he had burned 10 billion with a single stick, he hit his knee.
‘You grew up well.’
She went to find the room to go that way.
“what? You want me to send you on a joint operation with the Baskervilles?”
“Your mother. right now.”
Camus went to the estate of the Baskerville family after begging Lespane, the head of the household.
Prior to that, he did not forget to identify the newly appointed deputy consul in Underdog City as a partner for the joint operation.
And the day before the Baskerville delegation arrives.
Camu finished all preparations.
The watchtower of the fortress with many beautiful cotton flowers around was chosen as the reunion place.
It was a bit embarrassing, so with Morgue’s eyes pulled back as much as possible.
Seven years of waiting will end there, where white flowers and delicate scents overflow.
Camus went to bed with a swollen chest.
… … and on the day.
Camus was furious.
I picked a place with an atmosphere at best, but that place has already turned into a mess.
Her older sisters, who were always mean to her when they were young, and who now dare not breathe properly in front of her, now that they are a bit older, have ruined things.
“… … What are they doing?”
Camus asked with infernal rage.
The aftermath of the destruction of romance was terrifying.
The three sisters of the House of Morgue weep without knowing why.
“Ka, Kamuya, the older sisters… … ”
“Oooh, just to stop the intruders… … .”
“U-those quarreled first!”
However, Camu’s mood was already at the bottom.
Because the reunion that had been waiting for seven years was ruined.
“Camus? Are you talking to me now, sisters?”
“Hee!? Oh no! It can’t be, Viceroy!”
“Move. If you don’t want to be like that.”
Camus didn’t really intend to kill the three older sisters, but she did intend to punish them really harshly.
But before that, the girls disappeared on their own, so such trouble was unnecessary.
yet.
Camus rode his horse and stood in front of ‘that guy’.
“Welcome, partner.”
The face of ‘that guy’ that I see again after 7 years is not that different from when I first met him.
It must have been that he was still growing up, but his height was not much different from his own, but his face had changed slightly.
The jawline has become slimmer and the nose has become sharper.
It was at a better level than the version that was glorified and glorified in Camu’s imagination.
‘He’s grown up a lot. hmm. You grew up well.’
Camus nodded. Her face automatically turns red.
Why is it that the naked body of the guy I saw when I was 8 years old suddenly pops into my head?
‘… … I wonder if your body has changed a lot?’
I didn’t even use magic, but my whole body was hot for no reason.
