Track 3: Blood Pledge Castle

FX:*horse neighs*

Yuuri: Ahhhhh~

Conrad: Are you all right? You seem very tired.

Yuuri: Help me~!

Conrad: Of course. When we've run halfway, I'll do it for you.

Yuuri: No, right now.

Conrad: Then for the time being, let's replenish our calorie intake. In other words, lunch.

Yuuri: I don't want to eat. Damn! And here I thought that since you're mazokus you could just use magic and babyun~ transport us to the castle... But instead I've just been riding on the horse with Conrad all along...The nights are cold, noon is hot, and my throat is completely parched from dust, *water fx * Ah... I want to drink... cold water.

Girl: Here you are.

Yuuri: Eh?

Günter: Your Majesty!

Yuuri: You're a mazoku right?

Girl: Yes, your Majesty. If we can help your majesty with the last drop that we possess, we'll be happy.

Günter: Your majesty, please wait.

Conrad: Excuse me, I'll have a sip first.

Yuuri: Conrad...

FX:*Conrad drinks*

Conrad: Leave a little.

Yuuri: Ah... yeah. *drinks + mysterious sound* Ah, it's delicious! Thank you!

Girl: Sure! *runs away*

Conrad: That girl will be proud of having been able to give water to your majesty for the rest of her life. I'm sure.

Günter: Your majesty, even though I've told you not to eat anything other than what we've brought over and over...

Yuuri: But isn't this a completely mazoku village? And hey, the people living here even look like you, and there's oddly a lot of beautiful men.

Günter: While that may be true...

Conrad: It didn't taste strange, and in case there was anything at the bottom that didn't melt, I had him leave the last mouthful. Even his majesty isn't slow to understand, he only wanted his first drink to be cold. After that he can endure everything, the water from the water bags or portable food.

Günter: Conrart, you support the common people too much.

Conrad: If we don't support the people, then who will? Ah, but of course...if it would help his majesty, I wouldn't just give him my shoulder, but my arm or chest or even my life.

Yuuri: I don't want your chest or life.

Conrad: Don't say that.

Yuuri: In that case, lend me your majutsu. It's already a state of emergency for me, so use your magic to skip me there with a babyu~n. I've had enough of horses, I can't continue on them.

Conrad: When it comes to majutsu, that won't be possible. Since I don't have any maryoku. When it comes to majutsu our country's top magic wielder is Günter, he could help you.

Günter: Your majesty's maryoku is several times more powerful than mine. At any rate, even the shinzoku are frightened when they speak of the power of the maou.

Yuuri: Wait a minute. I'm a human so I don't have any maryoku, spiritual power or ESP at all.

Günter: Your majesty is a mazoku.

Yuuri: But I've never seen a ghost, or hit the lotto, or seen through a girl's bikini, or had a 10 yen coin move on a Kokkuri-san...

Günter: Are those advanced rituals of a foreign country? Though I can't understand its relation to majutsu ... it's fine, your majesty. Maryoku is a quality of the soul. Even if you can't use it now, everything in this world will become as you desire sooner or later.

Conrad: Well, that is given a long term view on it. For the time being, though, I'm worried about you riding a horse alone.

Yuuri: Alone, me?

Conrad: Won't it be sad if the citizens are disappointed? They demand a strong, sublime, absolute ruler, so you absolutely have to ride a horse alone, or it won't be an impressive entry into the castle.

Yuuri: Even if you say impressive...

Conrad: The best LADY has been prepared. I've raised this beloved daughter from the moment she was born up till today, making every effort. Without a doubt she suits your majesty's jet black.

FX:*grand entrance*

Günter: Welcome home, your majesty. This is your and our country. Welcome to 'The eternal kingdom in which the wise and courageous mazoku live in prosperity after defeating the soushu with their power. Ah! We should never forget the entire world originated from the mazoku. Long live the great Shinou and his people.'

Conrad: To abbreviate, it's called Shin Makoku.

Yuuri: Eh? Was that thing just now this country's name?

Günter: Yes, and this is the maou's grand castle the Blood Pledge Castle.

Yuuri: Blood Pledge?

Günter: It is said that when Shinou selected this land, he promised to not let harm come to the spirit of the land. As a mark of gratitude and friendship, when someone other than the maou occupies this castle, the spirit of the land swore to make him atone for his crime with his blood. An oath of blood, in short, "Blood Pledge Castle", obeys only your majesty the king. It's impregnable, no, it's an absolutely flawless castle.

Yuuri: Huh... it's not a very peaceful name, huh?

Conrad: Your majesty, this country is divided into this area directly controlled by the maou, and territories of the ten nobles who obey the maou. Von is attached to their surnames. People who rule territories, have 'von' attached to their names followed by their surnames. In Günter's case, he governs the Christ region of the ten nobles so he is Lord von Christ. 'Lord' is added to a name, because in an emergency they are the ones called to go to the battlefield. Basically the nobles are a military rank. Men and women are the same. Those who are prepared to fight will be invited to do so when they're adults.

Yuuri: Huh? But your name is Lord Weller Conrad, right? You don't have 'von' attached to your surnam... uwah~! Stop! Stop, Ao!

Conrad: Your majesty! The reins, pull the reins~!

Yuuri: Ahhh, it hurts...

Günter: Your majesty!

Conrad: Your majesty, are you hurt!?

Yuuri: Uh... I'm fine...

Gwendal: ... His majesty... This thing here?

Wolfram: Older brother Gwendal. Brother, are you planning on ushering this human of unknown lineage brought here by that guy as our king!? Judging from appearances he doesn't seem intelligent or dignified, and a man that would be lying around in the road in that area... I can't put my confidence in someone like that!

Günter: Wolfram! What an awful thing to say! I can't allow you to speak of his majesty in such an awful way, even if you are the crown prince! And also, stop speaking so unfavorably of Conrart, even for an instant, he's your older brother.

Yuuri: What? You three are brothers? No way! You don't look alike!

Conrad: I'm sorry, but it's true. Each of us have a different father. Well, not looking alike can't invalidate our blood relationship. Gwendal is my older brother, and Wolfram is my little brother. Perhaps they don't want to say something like that.

Wolfram: Hey! I'm not done speaking! What proof do we have that he's the true king? Until I've confirmed that, I'm not going to recognize such a kid as the maou.

Yuuri: Kid!? You look like you're about the same age as me, no matter how I look at you. If I compared you to an American high school kid, maybe you're even younger than me!

Wolfram: How old are you?

Yuuri: ...Fifteen... In two months I'll be 16...

Wolfram: Hmph.

Yuuri: What's with this 'hmph', hmph. Then how old are you? Such an irritating pretty boy, and you're already acting like an old man.

Wolfram: I'm eighty-two.

Yuuri: Come again? *mumbles* Eighty-two? Even so he has clear skin, a full head of hair and youth. Yeah, right, like that could be possible!

Conrad: No, he actually is eighty-two. Just think that mazoku's real age is five times their appearance.

Yuuri: Huh.. The youngest brother is eigthy-two... You guys wants me to believe that you have more life experience than my grandfather!?

FX: *splash*

Yuuri:*sniffs* It smells like a really fragrant shampoo. *relaxes* Huh?

FX: *oh yeah*

Yuuri: What!?

Cherie: Oh my!

Yuuri: Aaaaah, I, I, I, I didn't hear this was a mixed bath!

Cherie: No~, it's fine. This bath is only for your majesty, the maou. I only came in for a little bit out of habit. Don't mind me, new king, yo, ur, ma, jes, ty.

Yuuri: Uh, ah, sorry, please don't come closer.

Cherie: Say, so you're the new king? How unexpected, to meet you in a place like this.

Yuuri: Ah~ah umm, look, young lady, no, miss, isn't it a violation of the rules to suddenly enter the bathtub without rinsing? And besides that, with a bath towel! Don't you know it isn't good manners to put a towel in the water in a public bath?

Cherie: Oh my, I'm sorry. It's because it's been a very long time since I've taken a bath with men. Ah.... huhu.... cute.

FX: *thunder gong*

Yuuri: Cute? *Yuuri realizes she's looking at his penis and runs away crying* What are you calling "cute", Miss Sexy!? And why are you, Miss Pheromones, in the king's bath!? And besides all that, who are you Miss Sexy Queen?!

Günter: What happened, your majesty!?

Conrad: What's wrong, your majesty!?

Yuuri: *mumbles*...I like girls, I like girls but if you ask me if I'd like to be seen, I'd rather not be, I'm not really that big or huge.

Conrad: Your majesty... as a king you naturally have servants and maids...

Yuuri: But are they supposed to be in my bathroom!? Then what good does it do to hide this country's erotic books somewhere!? If I'm going to get picked up by beautiful naked women in the bathroom, where can I run away to and catch my breath!?

Conrad: A nude woman in the bathroom? Ah... so she showed up.

Yuuri: I thought this was some kind of service and thought I would make a small request... but well... because I'm not a that great of a man, I ran away.

Conrad: I'm glad, I appreciate your majesty's sense of reason.

Günter: Your maje'y, please try this on.

Yuuri: What's wrong all the sudden, hay fever?

Günter: E, ejuse me, I'm in an entirely different standpoint than I usually am, and I'm having trouble looking at you... You are too praiseworthy and lovely at the same time... Ah, my apologies! I said something offensive, I should know better, I, I'm flustered!

Conrad: What's wrong, Günter, this doesn't seem like you?

Yuuri: If it's hay fever you should rinse out your nose, wash your nose. It makes my older brother feel better.... but... huh? What's with this underwear!? It's black and glossy and... why is this a thong even though I'm a guy !?

Conrad: Eh? It's the popular underwear for the time being.

Yuuri: No way, then, that person and that person and that person are in a thong!? Even that guy making such a face was in a thong!? It can't be, you are too!?

Conrad: Ah, no, I prefer something more similar to what the working class wears.

FX:*Günter explodes or something*

Günter: Please don't trouble me by talking like a virtuous wife, your majesty. It's the same as if I were to knock on the door to avoid seeing you take off your underwear...eh... Huh!? What did I just say!? P, blease ejuse me! I've had, in, in, insolent thoughts!

Yuuri: As I said before, if you rinse out your nose with a normal saline solution, a normal sal... Insolent, what's insolent?

Günter: I'll go cool off my head!
