Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

It was decided that Serene would travel to the Helifarte kingdom, the last night spent in the Arquila kingdom. Serene seemed really disgusted, moaning "Prince loose, never loose, never" until just before he went to sleep, but as Butler, he also felt joy in his heart. Traveling alone may be difficult, but my Lord is not a vessel that ends in a dim prison. Because I thought this was a test of God's given happiness.

"It's been two years since I met the princess, and the moon is early."

Butler remembered the day he changed his destiny two years ago as he watched Serene sleep tired of crying on his pillow.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Guys like you would have been happier not to be born"

"Aren't you really a bummer, not a rat?

A ragged, inferior laugh and several fat rats thrust one lean little rat. The mouse is hairy and not lustrous and just looks up resentful and says nothing. I knew if I fought back, it would only be too bad for me.

"Even you guys, if you meet a wildcat, you're gonna shake up and run away. You cowards who can only bully weak things," he said, vomiting so poisonously in his heart.

This rat, later named Butler, had a difference from the rest of the rats. Even though the other rat was black all over his body, he only had a belly from his throat, bright white fur.

The other people laughed at the rat that had changed its appearance. Not only is he different in colour, but he is weak and small, and he had to accept it. For to the beast, violence was justice, for the little rat had no power to do so. The big, abusive people take food away from me, and if I can't eat it, my body is unnecessarily thin. In such a vicious circle, black and white rats were always hungry.

It was a winter day. Speaking of the South, in winter, there will be less food in the woods. By way of example, everyone was left behind, and at last the wretched rat, who had been hunted to the brink of starvation, made a certain determination. It's about dividing into human dwellings and disrespecting food.

It was an extremely dangerous act, but if you let it go, you'll die soon, and there's nothing good about it if you live. I don't mind if I die. Feeling more like suicide than courage, the tiny mouse snuck into a warehouse-like building.

- The result was a failure.

He jumped into a human trap without being able to take one bean grain. No matter how rampant I was, I couldn't break the iron cage, I just groaned sadly, 'It was a lifetime that really didn't make sense'.

Shortly afterwards, a human approached and peered into his cage. He was a human with bright red eyes on his bright white body, a shade he had never seen before. From his physique, apparently, he's a child.

"Yeah, I'm gonna die here."

No matter how much you think you can die, that moment is still horrible. Though he thought he could no longer do anything about it, he shook himself in fear.

But the girl just looked at herself and didn't scream or call other people. On the contrary, she grabbed a slice of vegetables from the soup she was eating and pushed them through the gap in the cage. Starving to the extreme, he did not hesitate much, flattening his warm, moisture-rich vegetables. When the girl smiled satisfactorily, she moved the cage straight under the bed and covered it with cloth so that no other human could see it.

- This is how the strange cohabitation of the girl and the rat began.

"(This child has changed a lot)"

As always, he remained in the cage, but when he was fed and his health recovered, he could afford to see what was going on around him. So he realized that this child was an extremely heterogeneous person.

It's more rampant to say a human child, enough to say a somewhat smart mountain monkey. It's the scariest creature for a little creature like ourselves, for a minute of bad wisdom. But this white girl wasn't as savage as that.

At night, he would crawl out of the window for a walk or something, otherwise he would mostly eat and sleep and spread it out on his bed to find the right picture books. Somehow he behaves like his uncle's rat, but he's a lot younger for it.

It was also a matter of concern that she would not meet the other humans at all. Even the persecuted rat himself has been taken by his mother out to various parts of the woods, yet this child is really alone and hardly anyone comes to see him but his sisterly figure.

"(Could it be because this child has different hair colors?)"

She has been cut off from everyone because of the different colors. Thinking about it, he felt a strange empathy. At the same time, you feel a secret respect for her, not even in such circumstances, but as if she doesn't care about it. I wonder why she can act like such an adult. The interest grew more and more, and he really wanted to talk to her.

Why are you here?

And one day, on her palm, she threw a question at her that she couldn't even hear. I'm a rat, there's no way a human girlfriend can make sense of words. But the girl was surprised enough to jump up.

"Can you talk!?

'Ugh, yeah, looks like it. I've never known him before. "

It was much later that I found out that this girl was drawing royal blood and was dividing the magic into herself, but anyway, this was the first conversation between the white girl - Serene-Arkuilla and the rat.

If we were able to talk about it, the communication went on very well after that. The white girl didn't seem to speak much, she was a very easy person to talk to, on the contrary, for a rat who was not yet used to human language.

"I, Serene, what about you?

"What is Serene?

"My name"

"What's a catfish?

While on Serene's shoulder, the rat asked that question. of the beast. They were identifying individuals in the way they said they had "thicker tails than the other guys" or "less squeaky". I mean, there was no concept of a name.

"Okay, I want that catfish, too."

"Bye, Butler."

"What's Butler?

"Shitsuji"

"What's a Shitsuji?

The conversation between them took a lot of time because they were always going through these questions and answers, but they didn't have to rush each other, so they had a very peaceful time. It was the first time Butler had such a restful time since his mother's death.

"…… a cool one."

"Cool?"

Selene answered that to Butler after getting a little lost. It was good from looking like a black and white tuxedo to coming up with a butler (Butler), but in the serene, the butler just said, "Lady, it's time for a tee" or something, and I didn't know exactly what the person was doing, so I misled him appropriately.

"Cool……"

But this explanation shocked Butler like he was struck by lightning. It was the first time I had ever been called a good person who had only ever been said to be disgusting.

"(I want to know about Shitsuji…)"

Then the rat named Butler snuck out of the room while Serene slept and began to look into human culture. Since I was able to communicate my will, I was completely free from the cage, and Serene was a sleeping child for fourteen hours a day, so I had a lot of time to be free.

Small butlers were able to sneak in through the gap and browse as much as they wanted, as were the study courses that the nobles of the country paid for, Butler was able to eavesdrop on, and expensive books that were kept strictly in the country.

'After all, the princess is nothing like any other human being!

The more he looked into humans and added wisdom, the more Butler became convinced that Serene was still a man who drew a line with the other children. Aristocrats or civilians, but six-year-olds and other sedan dongles compare their backs. Yet only Serene had the wisdom of not even knowing humans called intellectuals of this country. Besides, you don't have any education.

"After all, that one is the king among kings!

People can develop their abilities by working hard, but only those who have been loved by God can gain the qualities of a born gift (epiphysis). In that regard, how merciful and graceful Princess Serene is to whom she serves. Butler took great pride in the fact that the Lord who helped him possessed rare (rare) qualities in this country, no, even throughout the continent.

In the best of circumstances and rewards for his efforts, Butler gained such graceful behavior and exceptional knowledge that, in a surprisingly short period of time, his followers from the great powers fled barefoot. If he were a human being, the great nobleman would want to hold him as a squire.

By then, none of the animals in the woods, even in terms of force, were comparable to Butler. With wisdom, enhanced by daily workouts and magic, Butler gives way not only to wildcats and Itachis, but also to wolves and bears in front of him.

Butler has always been called "the little giant beast of the big woods" by forest animals in awe. Butler, however, never behaves arrogantly towards them.

For his power was given by the great Lord, Serene. My powers belong to Serene. Do not act in such a way as to scratch the name of the Lord. Because I remember my liver so strongly.

Unlike other rough and violent male rats, Butler's daughter in the woods begged Butler, who, in addition to being a gentleman, had rare powers, but each time Butler answered:

"Thank you very much for the poor ladies' feelings. But if this Butler serves, he's decided to be just one person for life. His name is Princess Reiki Serene.

Whenever Serene-Arkuilla, the king among the kings, the Lord whom the king of the forest serves, descended into the forest, the beasts protected her and saluted her. Most of all, Serene had no idea what it was like to be a beast other than Butler, so she only thought about it to the extent that "I wish this forest didn't have scary beasts".

The people who once laughed at Butler now look at him, and that's where they run away. Butler doesn't even have teeth anymore, such as these people. Because I'm not free enough to stay with such crap right now.

This is what Butler thinks these days. Weren't you born spooky and serious to meet Princess Serene? Princess Serene, who has given meaning to her life, is now being flirted with by her destiny. Then this time, you risk your life for her and return the favor.

- Butler's heart, a small giant beast in a large forest, a mouse butler, was burning with a sense of mission and fulfillment.
