A Day in the Life of: Weller Conrart
Author: LonelyWriter42
Summary: Being the Maō's babysitter isn't easy and Conrad would like to tell you all of his woes.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kyō Kara Maō! only the corner of woe that I sit in when thinking of how I don't own Kyō Kara Maō!
...
0611: I awake to bloodcurdling screams all through the castle. I jump out of bed and run down the corridors, completely ignoring the fact I'm still in my sleeping robe. I pass Dakoskos who gives be a sleepy stare before walking away groaning that he doesn't get paid enough for this.
0619: Get to Haha-ue's room in time to see her wrestle a spider. Score: Cheri 1, spider 0.
0654: The crisis is averted between my mother and the spider that had awoken her and in turn woken the whole castle. Yuri had wandered in about halfway through rubbing his eyes in confusion before stopping and staring in wonder as the former Maō single-handedly beat a spider that was as big as her back into the hole it had climbed out of.
0717: Breakfast is always an enlightening experience with Haha-ue there.
0742: Greta and Haha-ue leave to find Anissina and do girly things while I convince Yuri-heika that he has paperwork to do.
0825: Gwendal is not amused when Yūri-heika decides to take a stroll around the town so he doesn't have to do paperwork. I merely smile and remind my older brother that he was never very devoted to paperwork when he was sixteen, either. Gwendal gives a death glare before walking away to arrange the outing.
0835: Yūri-heika managed to get himself kidnapped, again. Some merchant had jumped out of the crowd and grabbed him and Daikenja and disappeared. Needless to say, I'm not happy. Nor is Günter.
0930: Wolfram has been beside himself ever since Yūri-heika was taken. He has permanently attached himself to my arm and continues to bawl even as I try to figure out where Yūri-heika and Geika could be. For the first time in my life, I become truly angry with my younger brother and tell him such.
1002: Wolfram is curled up in a little ball on the floor, repeating over and over how Yūri is pathetic enough to get himself kidnapped for the second time in as many days. The male clone of my mother is effectively ignoring me for which I'm not sure if I'm happy or not. Wolfram might have pretended to hate me before Yūri-heika came to Shin Makoku, but it was never true hate. Now I'm not sure if it is or not with his glares on my back, which makes me sad.
1013: Günter bursts into the room and yells that he believes he knows where the kidnapper might have taken Yūri-heika. Wolfram jumps to his feet and is ready to run to his fiancée's side, all his former hostility toward me gone for which I am thankful.
1023: We meet with the kidnapper who says that he will return Yūri-heika and Murata-geika if we pay his outrageous fee. Gwendal says that he will consider the offer and then walks away with Wolfram yelling at him that we need to get Yūri back right now.
1043: The kidnapper is getting inpatient with Gwendal, sending a messenger to say that he'll send Yūri-heika back soon, in a box. Günter bursts into hysterics and Wolfram sets the throne room on fire.
1052: Crazed former teacher and little brother are both calmed down enough to start formulating a plan to get the Maō and Daikenja back before they are executed.
1057: Yosak shows up and says that he has seen bocchan and Geika down at the shipyards that are almost an hour away from Blood Pledge castle and wondered why they were there without any guards.
1103: Operation "Save Yūri-heika and Daikenja-geika before execution-kun" starts. We should stop letting Anissina name our rescue missions.
1105: I never knew that Wolfram got land sick, too.
1108: Günter joined in on the land sickness. I did not know that my older bother could squeal like a little girl when his favorite pair of boots got vomit on them, but apparently he could. Yosak will still be laughing months later about it.
1116: Yosak is still laughing as we start to make way again, now on foot because the horses won't let Wolfram and Günter ride anymore.
1132: The horses will now let us ride them for which I am truly thankful. Thank you, horse-kun.
1135: Horses are afraid of snakes. Who knew?
1147: We somehow manage to get our horses back and travel at full speed toward the ship yards, all praying that we are not too late.
1224: When we get to he ship yards, we are greeted with the most unlikely sight possible; I have to do a double take. Yūri-heika, Daikenja-geika, and the kidnapper are sitting around drinking tea and eating finger sandwiches. Our group is then offered tea and sandwiches.
1256: Tuna and cucumber, my favorite sandwich. I have consumed about fifty of them in the short time we have been sitting around. Yūri-heika starts telling us about what happened after he was taken by the merchant with Daikenja-geika interrupting every now and again to explain something left out.
1259: The merchant apologies for kidnapping Yūri-heika to which Yuri-heika just smiles and says that he'd like to meet with the merchant again. Merchant brings out the water works and hugs Yūri-heika.
1300: Still bawling.
1304: Still bawling.
1307: Still bawling.
1310: Has this man taken lessons on how to bawl for ten straight minutes? He has to be dehydrating himself about now.
1311: Merchant stops bawling and then walks away with the silly grin that Yūri-heika induces all the time in complete strangers. Wolfram starts calling Yūri-heika a wimp for getting himself kidnapped.
1315: We are on our way back to Blood Pledge castle when Yūri-heika realizes that he is missing Julia's necklace. My heart stops beating.
1321: We are back at the shipyards, looking for the sleazy merchant that would steal my most prized possession in the world, the only thing that I have of the only Mazoku that could look past the fact I was part human and see the good in my heart, the woman I loved from afar and could never have.
1345: Yūri-heika tried the diplomatic approach to getting the necklace back and when it failed, I took the approach that should have been used from the start and threatened him as sword point. It did the trick and the necklace was soon lying in my palm, the coolness of the stone reminding me once again that Julia was dead. I offer Yūri-heika back the necklace. He places it around his neck and it starts to glow slightly, showing that it is now around the neck of its rightful owner. I turn away so no one could see the tears in my eyes.
1403: We are attacked on the road, but I do not think that the would be villains knew that it was the Maoh they were attaching.
1404: Yūri-heika goes into his supper Maō mode and delivers "Justice" on the bandits.
1405: Yūri-heika is back to normal and now asking the bandits if they would like to come to Blood Pledge castle. Hand, meet my face.
1512: Haha-ue is amused to meet the people that tried to rob us on the road and promptly offers to take them on a tour of the castle. Hand, meet face again.
1515: Haha-ue screams again, though this time is because Raven had just arrived at the castle. She was now glomping him for all he was worth. To Raven's credit, he allowed her to.
1520: Stoffel-oji is trying to convince Yūri-heika of something, I'm not sure what it is, but it can't be good.
1522: Who knew there was a party tonight? I thought that it was next week, but then again, I have been preoccupied all day.
1615: The throne room looks especially good for the fact Wolfram had destroyed it that afternoon. Banners hung everywhere and the soft candle light was enough to make me sleepy and the guests hadn't even arrived yet.
1625: Power naps do the trick. I now feel like I could fight an entire battle without as much as even thinking about sleep.
1630: A quick shower and clean clothing later, I am now ready to beat people that throw themselves at Yūri-heika off with a spoon.
1645: Every one knew that Shinō took great pleasure in pulling pranks, but this was almost too much. Seriously, a wedding cake? That figurine didn't even look like Yūri-heika and Wolfram would never have worn a dress that color. Needless to say, the cake was destroyed by a certain fire user.
1721: The guests have been streaming in slowly for a while now, all commenting on the stickiness of the floor. Yūri-heika just smiles and tells them that can't be, but just then a blob of cake that had ended up on the ceiling fell on his head.
1723: Cake meet Cheri. Cheri, meet cake.
1724: Cake, meet the wrath of the former Maō.
1730: Throne room, meet "Justice" of the current Maō. Guests, dive for cover.
1800: After "Justice" was served on the remaining cake, the party went into full swing and actually didn't make me want to claw my eyes out after a while there.
1805: Conrad, thou speaketh to soon.
1807: Who knew that Shinō was at the party? I thought that he was five inches tall and kept in a box that Daikenja liked to take a wooden mallet to. Apparently my sources need a revision.
1826: Daikenja took care of the Shinō problem, but by that time, the guest were all grumbling and leaving. Maybe we shouldn't plan parties while Shinō is at his temple or at least make Daikenja take care of him the whole time. That had to have been the shortest party I have ever been to.
1952: Strange lights are coming from Yūri-heika's room so I go and check it out. Upon opening the door, I find Yūri-heika, annoying younger brother and adopted niece making shadow puppets on the wall. I smile and then remind them that Yūri-heika needs to be up before the sun tomorrow and get to a good nights sleep. They all smile back before going back to their game. I turn to leave but then Greta asks me if I could make a dragon shadow. I shrug and say that I'm willing to try.
2113: Bad, Conrad. You should have known that making shadow puppets was a bad idea. Keeping Yūri-heika up until this late hour. I continue to chastise myself as I get ready for bed.
2118: Mysterious ticking noises are bad in my experience of living in the same castle as Anissina. I jump out of bed just as the southern tower explodes.
2128: Chaos. Pure chaos is reigning in the castle as we try and figure out what happened to the tower. Anissina claims to have nothing to do with it, but I know she did it, what ever "it" was.
2230: The truth finally comes out about the explosion: Gwendal is the one that did it. Gwendal. My older brother who hates conflicts because they give him headaches. Gwendal, the one that gets up at 0400 hours and starts on paperwork so Yūri-heika won't have as much to do. Gwendal is the one. I am sill in shock.
2245: The day finally comes around full circle as I finally get into bed. Gwendal had not ten minutes ago finally admitted why he blew up the tower. He had been trying to destroy Anissina's latest invention. I should have know, was my last thought as I drifted off into sleep, knowing that tomorrow was going to be just as crazy, and that I would love every minute of it.
