200 – Well-behaved cats love stoves! # 5

“Here is…” ?”

Cecily entered the strangely shaped portal and looked around. It was a space that looked as if someone had liberally sprayed purple paint.

Small twinkles shining like stars made it look just like the universe.

In the middle of the universe, a red carpet was spread far into the distance. Since I couldn’t see the end of the carpet, I couldn’t tell how far the path continued.

But Cecily really liked this place. The purple color that filled the space was like a symbol of a noble family, and the twinkling stars were just like jewels.

Also, the red carpet spread far and wide was like a royal road welcoming Cecily, so much so that she wanted to lightly place her feet on it.

『This is the path of glory leading to ‘Steg Maia’, the territory of the Grand Duke of Nebla. Those who are unworthy will have their heads cut off.』

Clunk, clank-.

I heard a metallic sound and turned my head to see people wearing yellow armor forming a long line around the red carpet.

They were so tall that they seemed to be about 3 meters each.

It meant that he was not human.

Kuwoouk-.

Melody, who entered through her portal, tugged on the hem of Cecily’s skirt and trembled.

“Scary guards! The ‘Knights’, the servants of the Grand Duke of Nebla, appeared. If an unqualified person walks this path, he will die!”

Cecily did not know what the Grand Duke of Nebla was or what his territory was, the Steg Maia or the ‘Knights’, was.

In the theology class of a boring old professor, “Today, we’ll talk about the types of Demiurge.” I heard him say something, but I couldn’t remember.

However, Cecily was very pleased with this red carpeted road and the knights guarding it.

Since Cecily was a beautiful lady, he always thought it would be nice to have one or two knights around to guard her.

Of course, Cecily’s father Judah, hated knights, so he never gave her a knight.

“At this level, there’s no need to hide. Melody, walk with me.”

The act of walking.

It was the most basic yet most important action.

A dignified nobleman must have grace and dignity right from the start of his gait.

In that sense, Cecily was confident in walking lightly like a graceful cat.

Sabak-.

As Cecily began to gracefully walk the red carpet, the giant knights’ eyes glowed blue. Their gaze felt as if they were grading Cecily.

Of course, Cecily’s gait was so flawless and perfect that the knights of the Grand Duke of Nebla were deeply impressed.

‘You are a great guest after a long time. I can guide you to the noble gate.’

‘Stegg Maia’, the most splendid and luxurious territory among other world territories, was a principality with a strict class system.

Demiurge Nebla was a being who loved dividing things into classes.

Finally, Cecily arrived in front of the ‘Noble’s Gate’.

It was a door that I liked because it was large and grand and painted red.

Soon Cecily looked back and said.

“Melody! Welcome!”

“I don’t think I can do it!”

Melody said she lived in the forest all her life, so she didn’t know how to walk gracefully. Even when she was still an ordinary person, she was just a country farmer’s daughter.

So while she was hesitating, the yellow light knight spoke to Cecily.

『Those who enter the noble gate can each bring in one maid or servant. Would you like to do that? Instead, they must enter through the ‘servant’s gate.’

The knight pointed to a door with the tip of his heavy armor.

The door was very old, shabby, and seemed to smell dirty.

Cecily didn’t like the idea of Melody having to go through that door, but she knew that if she continued like this, Cecily and Melody would become very separated.

“Good.”

When Cecily nodded her head, the knights raised their swords and walked towards the road. Only then, while shaking, was Melody able to cross the red carpet.

Melody was so happy about this fact that she hugged Cecily.

“Cecily, this is amazing! You have truly crossed the “Road of Glory”! Now you can enter Grand Duke Nebla’s territory, Steg Maia! See you later then!”

Pot-.

The melody entered through the ‘servant’s door.’

Cecily also entered through the ‘noble’s gate.’

I didn’t like being separated from Melody, but oh wow – the huge door opened and Cecily felt like her mind was turning white at the sight beyond.

“That’s amazing!”

Before Cecily’s eyes, she saw a city made with purple, yellow, and all kinds of beautiful paints.

It seemed as if the concept of ‘castle’ or ‘palace’ had been enlarged rather than a city. It is truly a ballroom created for the daughter of ladies like Cecily.

Cecily thought that this grand and great place suited her very well.

“I never thought there would be a place like this in the world!”

What moved Cecily the most was the appearance of the people walking around the balconies and streets. They were all full of dignity, like elegant princesses, nobles, and knights.

“Are you a new guest?”

“For such a small child to cross the path to glory. It’s amazing.”

“He’s a very cute kid.”

People who appeared to be residents of this large palace were interested in Cecily. Cecily held onto the hem of her skirt and bowed politely as she always did.

“Hello, residents of Steg Maia. My name is Cecily Barjuda, or Cecily von Ragdoll. It’s an honor to be invited to this wonderful place.”

Cecily was looking around as she said that. Perhaps, he thought, there might be his grandmother, Lady Rione, who was called the Lady of Lady’s in this country.

Pot-.

At that time, someone came up next to Cecily.

It was a melody.

“Cecily! What an amazing place! Melody has never been to such a wonderful place! It’s really cool! It’s full of princesses and knights! It’s like a fairy tale!”

Melody felt very happy seeing this wonderful place. She felt like a princess in a dreamland. However, the people around me were very excited when they saw that melody.

“For a servant to have such a rude attitude towards his master!”

“If you don’t scold me, I won’t be disciplined!”

There seemed to be a lot of people talking, and then a man came towards Cecily. He placed something in Cecily’s hand, a whip made of leather.

“Little girl, this resident of Steg Maia must know how to use servants. You can’t be a good master if you let your servants do whatever they want. Hurry up and punish me.”

“Get scolded. Are you saying I’m going to hit you with this?”

Cecily was slightly embarrassed as she looked at the whip in her hand. Melody was her her own friend her her her, not her her servant her her her. How can you whip her friend?

As Cecily hesitated, her man spoke firmly.

“This is the territory of Grand Duke Nebla, the Demiurge of rule and reign. He cannot be invited as a guest if he does not comply with His will. Now, go ahead and do it!”

At her man’s words her her her, Cecily was finally able to see her surroundings her her again. In this wonderful place, there were not only elegant people like nobles, but also many shabby people.

They were wearing dirty clothes, and some were being whipped and mocked.

“This can’t be right!”

Cecily was greatly shocked.

This wasn’t such a cool place!

“Now, go ahead and do it. If you can’t do it, you don’t deserve to be a resident of Steg Maia. You too will only be reduced to a ‘servant.’”

The man in the fedora scolded Cecily even more.

As Cecily was shaking her pupils from side to side, Melody spoke.

“Cecily, no, Cecily! Hit me!”

Melody knew that Cecily had come here to see her grandmother.

If Cecily became a servant here, everything would be in vain in many ways.

So Melody thought it was okay to be whipped by Cecily. Just like Cecily once threw a rock at Melody.

“I can’t!” “This is not noble!”

But Cecily never wielded the whip.

The reason she whipped her friend when she met her again was because Cecily was far from the path of nobility that she thought of.

“Oh my god, Nebla!”

“That little girl defied Nebla’s rules!”

“… This is a big problem.”

Soon, the people watching took a deep breath.

At the same time, a flame blazed on the top floor of the highest spire in Steg Maia, the territory of this rule.

“Who dares not follow the rules of Nebla? It’s so funny that someone who can’t follow the rules discusses nobility!”

# # #

Zek-.

I reconstructed the magic circle drawn on the floor.

It seemed to be connected to Steg Maia, the territory of Demiurge Nebla.

I didn’t even know what Steg Maia was doing and what Nebla was doing.

However, it seemed like Garot had heard of it.

“My mother often said this in the past. It is said that those who have honed their honor, glory, and dignity will one day die and go to ‘Steg Maia’, the paradise of nobles.”

Stegmeyer.

It is a paradise for nobles.

I couldn’t imagine what kind of place it would be.

Is it a strange place like my territory, “Abyss Land”?

Just when you think it’s a strange story, Garot gathers more of her equipment and adds to the story.

“In the first place, it was said that the status and system of ‘nobles’ were an imitation of those that originated from the territory of Demiurge Nebla. According to mythology, Nebula is a particularly arrogant and picky god.”

“Entering.”

Zek-.

I threw myself into the portal.

Garot also followed.

Soon, a strange space-like thing appeared in front of us. It was a road with a red carpet spread across a landscape where tiny stars twinkled in the purple sky.

Around him, knights who appeared to be Demiurge’s minions stood guard holding huge swords. They must have spotted me and shouted, pointing their swords at the same time.

『This is the glorious road to Nebla’s territory!』

『The owner of another world cannot enter without permission!』

I see.

It usually feels like this.

Clap-.

Garot was seen pulling an arrow from her waist.

I blocked Garot’s elbow with my hand.

“Stop. We didn’t come for war. If we fight here, Garot, the problem will become more complicated than you can imagine.”

I grabbed Garot’s waist.

And he hid himself in the darkness.

『Where did it go!』

『Seal the door!』

Gooooo-.

After hugging Garot, I ran towards the huge door that was starting to close. Although the red carpet road was long, we were able to overcome it quickly.

Soon I was able to enter ‘Steg Maia’, the territory of another Demiurge. It was a city created based on purple and yellow.

No, it looked more like a large palace than a city.

If you build a magnificent castle and then continue to expand and expand and expand, wouldn’t it become a city like this?

“It’s an amazing place.”

Susseu-.

The darkness wrapped around my body was dissolving.

It seemed that the Demiurges were not as powerful as expected in the territory of other beings.

“What is this? What kind of stain-.”

“Thief? “They must be black-haired thieves!”

“Oh my God, there are thieves in the palace of rule! Guard! Security!”

Have you already been caught?

Since it was my first time experiencing something like this, I decided to run away. Fortunately, there were many winding and complex structures, so hiding was not difficult.

“Garot, demon hunters also have a knack for disguise, right?”

“Judas, no way—.”

Perhaps what Garot thought and what I thought were the same. There is a saying that married couples think alike.

I kidnapped a nearby noble couple to a dark place and took their clothes to wear.

This makes us the perfect resident couple of Steg Maia.

No matter where you look, you will look like a nobleman.

“… My chest is tight. This corset…”

Garot was breathing heavily, as if he were wearing clothes that made it difficult to move. It definitely felt like it was too tight, but I couldn’t help it.

“Look at those people. “Isn’t your gait a little strange?”

“So, he doesn’t seem like a nobleman?”

Even if she faked her clothes, couldn’t she have faked her dignity? As we walked around the streets looking for traces of Cecily, people’s eyes kept turning to us.

“The woman’s gait is really bad.”

“Are you a couple in the first place?”

“Garot, try a little harder. People are suspicious.”

I whispered softly to Garot.

Then Garrot said, “… He lost his temper and said, “What should I do?” Then, as if she remembered something, she cleared her throat and shouted.

“… You whisper while looking at people. These are very rude people… ! Come on, let Garsha von Legdoll bow her head in apology… !”

… Who are you imitating?

Is it Cecily?

When people admired that it was more similar than expected, people around them also admired it. They soon gathered around Garot and became noisy.

“Ma’am, I apologize for my rudeness. Are you going to attend the ball held in the high duke’s spire today during Noble Hour?”

“Be sure to participate! They say today is the day to choose Grand Duke Nebla’s 25th husband! “What kind of handsome man will be the Archduke’s husband this time?”

“I heard there is also a punishment for a rude little girl, right? Has it been 10 years since the punishment ceremony took place in the Sabah world? It will be very worth seeing, hohoho!”

What? What do you think?

I was quite taken aback by the amazing information I had just heard.

Garot also spoke softly to me as if he was embarrassed.

“Judas, did you hear what I just said? It was a very surprising story.”

“I was really surprised too. My twenty-fifth husband… !?”

Even though she already has 24 husbands, she is trying to add more. It seems that Grand Duke Nebla was a more powerful person than I thought.

Is that something you have to do when you become a Demiurge?

“Not that.”
