----------

Everyone followed the king of Small Shimaron as they were led into a dining room. Foods are already prepared on the table. In a moment they stopped walking and the king faced them. Saralegui smiled.

"I know that you're tired of the trip on the way here. Why don't we eat first before we discuss the things you have in mind?"

"That sounds reasonable." A smiling Murata spoke.

"Geika—" protest were heard from the group. Of course what they want is to get the task at hand to be able to finish it as fast as possible. But it seems like that things are not going that way. With the acceptance of the offer to eat first, they are wasting time, letting their king stay longer in the territory of the enemy. Didn't the teen said so himself that their king's size is not the only thing affected by Annissina's great invention. It also affected his body's condition. Meaning that he is not like the usual Yuuri who can tolerate Houryoku in the human lands. Then what is he planning right now?

Murata raised his hands which made the others fell silent. So, you want to play games huh. Then, I'll play with you. The sage's eyes were hidden by the light that hit his glasses.

"Ken-chan and…" The Maou's mother glanced at the human king. Smiling at him giving him a silent message that she is asking for his name.

Sara was a bit surprised when the woman talked. And he was more surprised when the woman smiled at him. A warm smile.

"My apologies. I forgot to introduce you to each other." Murata went between the two. "Mama-san, this is King Saralegui. He is the ruler of this country. King Saralegui, this is—" But before the sage can finish his introduction as we all know, the woman already stepped in and is now in front of Sara and holding both of the king's hand.

"Shibuya Miko, but you can call me Jennifer! I'm glad to meet you! Wow, you're really good looking! Do kings all look like this? Fantasy is really nice. I'm glad I was able to come here!..."

"T-Thank you…" Sara glanced at Beryes. Even though he still looked as stoic as ever, he knows that the guy is always on the alert and ready to pull out his sword, attacking those who would dare bare their fangs at him. He silently gave a signal that he should leave the woman be. He doesn't know why, but he thinks that the woman meant to harm.

"Oh! I forgot! We shouldn't keep the food waiting! Let's go, Sara-chan, minna." The woman led the way to the table.

Sara-chan? It felt familiar. Everything.

----------

While eating…

Silence filled the air. Not even a sound escaped from the people that gathered on the table. The only thing that breaks the total silence is the sound of utensils they are using. Miko cannot stand it anymore.

"Ah.. e.. to.. are you always like this in front of the meal? I mean.. don't you talk to each other? About how did your day go? What happened along the way?" Miko looked at every person inside the room with great curiosity. "It seems like you're not going well with each other."

Mama-san hit the point. As expected. "It's nothing like that, mama-san. It's just that everybody had been on a long trip and they are just being considerate about that."

"Sou na no?"

"Hai."

The others don't really have the slightest idea why the sage keeps making things out. All of them are just going with him, trusting his words. He is the Maou's friend after all, and besides they got no one aside from the sage to rely onto in the situation they are facing now. If they are only dealing with the king of Small Shimaron it would be an easy thing. They don't have to hide anything because from the start they already knew each others intentions. But the situation is different from what they anticipated, Shibuya Miko also known as Hamano Jennifer was brought to their world and is now with them. Every now and then, they have to watch what they are going to say if they don't want other people to get involved with the personal and secret affairs of their world. And Miko is the last person that they would wish to know those things.

"Miko-san?" A voice that they didn't expect to hear resounded at the table, most of them are surprised especially the Mazokus that they stopped and waited for the voice what it wants to say. It was none other than the young king of Small Shimaron, King Saralegui.

"Yes?" The woman turned to the teen smiling brightly. An untainted smile.

Sara was surprised to see the look at the woman's face. Most of the people he knew are wary of him. Yes, they are polite and they respect him, but he knew behind those nice words, and smiles hide their true intention. It is not a secret that the others think so badly of him. For him, living in this world is just a matter of manipulation and proper knowledge about how to use others for your own purpose.

But this woman…

Who is she?...

"I'm being bothered by this thought for a while… but… if you are with the representatives of Shin Makoku… why is it that this is the first time that I saw you?"

There it is. The great revelation. No one from the Mazokus dared to speak or to move, as if that any action that they would do would only worsen the situation. They know that the blonde king is smart. Too smart for their own good.

Even Murata fell silent.

"Oh, that? It's probably because it is my first time to step on your kingdom and, this is also the first that I've been here. I been wanting to visit this place, but everytime Yuu-chan goes back here, he always leaves me behind! Mou!"

A particular name caught Sara's attention.

"Yuu-chan?"

"Yes. He's actually my son. Yuuri. Do you know him?" Miko remembered something. "Oh, yes! How can I forget! You're a friend of Yuu-chan, right? Ken-chan said that Yuu-chan visited a friend and they are just going to pick him up. Right, Ken-chan?"

"Yes, Mama-san."

So, Miko is referring to the great sage when he said Ken-chan. But…

But…

Yuu-chan?

Yuu-chan…

The only thing that could be a reason why the Mazokus are on his land is the soukoku kid that he accidentally saw, and brought with him. How could be they saying that Yuuri is…

Here.

Could it be?

Is Yuuri…

Yuu-chan…

Shibuya Miko…

Shibuya…

You can also imagine that there is a light bulb that lit above Sara's head. Blinking, you may add.

Don't mind the sentence above… and this too. Thank you.

Of course, how can he? Why didn't he realize it earlier? The kid that introduced himself as Yuu-chan to him is Yuuri himself! He didn't know what happened that he is in that form but he's sure that what he is thinking is correct. If not, why would the Mazokus waste their time visiting his land as fast as they could if the kid isn't really that important? They could have done that later. If only he believed the words of the soldier they managed to get under the control of his power. All he thought is that it is a prank, after all why would the palace alert a large group of soldiers for their shrunken king? If their villagers find these, it would create an unwanted image for them.

Another fact is that the kid is a certified double black. Aside from Yuuri, his brother, and the great sage there are no other soukoku in their world for sure.

The meal ended without anyone even aware of it. Tension filled the air that they weren't able to eat properly. Up to that point, Murata and Saralegui remained silent. For Yuuri's mother it's just a royal way for noble blood like them to act formal and mature but for the other people inside the room, they can clearly see a war field. Where the two opposing forces are neither using firearms nor bombs, but tactical knowledge. A game of the minds.

"So… where's Yuu-chan?"

Murata smiled sweetly and turned to Sara as if silently saying that 'Let's see what you are up to.'

"Yuuri?" the king plastered a very confused look on his face. Wolfram snorted, he knew what's coming next. "I'm sorry. But Yuuri is not here. He never went here."

Wow. Way to go Sara. Lie some more, and make the reader's inner evil side wake up because of you. And of course, expect tons of death threats coming at your door.

"Huh? But Shibuya suddenly disappeared from the castle and we thought that he's with you. "

"With me? The last time I saw Yuuri is at the meeting. I thought he's busy with something so I didn't bother him."

"Sou na no?" Murata acted like thinking. "If what you said is true. Then, where could Shibuya be?"

"Yuu-chan is missing?..." A worried voice interrupted the fake conversation between the two. The others tensed. The situation is not going with them.

"Hahaue…"

Of course our ever thrusted great sage is to the rescue. Murata approached the worried woman and smiled at her. "Don't worry mama-san, we are going to find Shibuya. You're just going to find him with us in no time." Murata turned to the three: Gwendal, Conrad, and Wolfram. They all look serious.

In Miko's eyes they all look worried for his son. She felt assured. Ever since he saw these men, she knew inside her that she could leave his son in their hands. She saw the kind of relationship they share with each other. She saw for herself how his son is being protected by them, they never let his side even in trouble or in danger.

But…

The three looked serious because they are all annoyed to Sara. Not only that he is obviously lying, he deliberately shows that if they are accusing him of kidnapping their shrunken king, they should show evidence first. That's the fact that really ticks them off. They could not just tell that Yuuri is on Sara's hands unless they possess solid proof evidence, and not just by relying by mere coincidence and circumstances.

They were to accuse a king after all.

"Then… we're going to sail back to Yuu-chan's kingdom?" Miko grew disappointed. Yes, it is exciting to explore this kingdom that she had visited, but because of some certain situations concerning his son, they should head back without her being able to explore the place. What a waste. They had come all the way from Shin Makoku for this country and they are not going to rest a bit?

It's not that she doesn't care for his son, but…

But…

Whatever! She just wants to take a stroll at the castle or the town. That's it!

"Why don't you rest here for a bit?" It was the human king who suggested the matter. Even though he doesn't want the Mazokus to stay longer in his kingdom, he has no choice but to invite them in. Courtesy.

Murata smiled sinisterly. "Is that fine with you, Saralegui-heika?" He knew that this thing is coming.

"Of course!" Sara turned to his trusted retainer, Beryes and said. "Have someone prepare them rooms."

"Hai." And Beryes left the room.

Beryes: Your Majesty?

*Picks up one envelope and reads*

*Shocked*

Sara: HIRAGIZAWA!!!!

Beryes: *points his sword on the neck of the authoress*

o.o: W-W-What? Could you drop the sword please..? *Sweatdropped*

Sara: what's this thing all about? I thought you said they are fan-letters?

*flashes a too sweet smile with underlying threat*

O.O: T-This is…

Sara: Those are death threats!! Why am I receiving death threats?! Tell me!

-.-: Ahm… Well, you see… Everybody likes you… as a villain that is.. Actually they love hating your role…

Sara: Is that so? *smiles sweetly*

T_T: *nods*

Sara: Then change my role in this fanfic. You're the authoress aren't you? You can do anything in your story.

Beryes; *Points the sword closer*

T_T: I-I c-can't…

Sara: And why is that?

*Runs away*

Sara: Go after her.

Beryes; Hai!
