11 A series of excuses

"Uto-sama ... what does this mean ... ??"

　Henri has such a tragic aperance that I have never seen anything that can even compare to it before. I feel as if my heart has stopped.

"Why did you reach out to such a human woman instead of me !? I'm always ready ... !!"

　Isn't it that I brought a human into the castle, but first you get angry over that !?

　But in any case, it is still a crisis. It would be a great scandal the overlord broth a human beings in to the castle. An excuse to get through this situation ... !!

　At that time, one thought came down on my head. Yes, this!

"Henri. Apparently you seem to be misunderstanding."

"... is it a misunderstanding?"

"You may have thought that I took this human in with affection, but that's a big mistake."

"So why!"

"As you know, I will eventually destroy humans. I mean, this person is just a sample, no guinea pig.

"..."

　I close my eyes. Of course I have no intention of destroying humans, but now I have no more excuses.

　How is it severe after all ...!? I opened my eyes with fear.

"That 's right! You 're Ute-sama!"

Henri is staring at me with a look of respect.

　I felt relieve. Yes, I managed to get through. But I've always thought, Henry is pretty simple.

"I didn't know that there was such an intention, and I worked out of ridiculous rudeness.

"Is it not necessary to do self-harm?"

"Self harm-eh !? Where did you get that idea!?"

　Even elementary school students can understand that.

"But Uto-sama, why did you hide that person in the closet? Try to avoid being found by someone ..."

　Gikutsu !!

"... Fun. I don't think this large room is for the likes of a human being. It's a small space like a closet at best."

"I see. That's true."

　I exhale again. I don't know if Henri is sharp or dull.

"But if you are investigating human ecology, we can take care of it without having to bother you ..."

"No, good. Looking at a distorted face due to human fear is another pleasure. And you and other demons will be tired from your daily work, so you can leave it to me. "

"Thank you."

　I don't know what kind of eyes I'll see if I leave this child to Henry.

"Now, please enjoy yourself."

"Umu"

　Henri went out of my bedroom with a satisfied expression. At the same time, my body was getting tired.

　I managed to surpass it ... There are many excuses from one to the next. Some of them have a bit of excuses, but let's do it because we succeeded in deceiving Henry.

　For the time being the last crisis has passed, but the situation has not changed. If you keep Lina hiding in this bedroom, it will be a matter of time to find out that everything I've said is mischievous. I have to do something before that ...

"Lina, I 'm sorry for making you scared."

　When I looked at Lina again, she looked as if she had seen it in hell, and her face was deep blue and trembled. Was Henri so scared? In fact, it was such a powerful force that the overlord was terrified.

"Destruct humans ... Guinea pigs ...!?"

　No, this is my fault! she believe in everything I said a while ago!

"Relief Lina. What I told Henri earlier is just a joke."

　That's why I'm not persuasive even if I say in this figure of the overlord ... There was no sign that Lina's trembling stopped.

"Dadada is okay, I 'm a slave, so I 'm ready to be a guinea pig… !!"

　No, it 's completely frightened. This is not a misunderstanding. Let's start by solving this child's alertness. However, it seems to be quite difficult to solve.

　I came up with an idea here. Yes, should I be temporarily no longer a overlord ?

"spell[Transform]! "

　I cast a spell and turned into something. that is....

"... Thanks, Hayato Azora"

　I was a human being.

　I checked my figure with a nearby mirror. Yeah, this is definitely me before I reincarnated as the overlord. I feel that some handsome correction is applied, but it is probably because of that.

　However, there is only one disadvantage to this [Transform] spell. That means that if you activate another spell, the transformation will be forcibly removed.

　Well, even if there are no disadvantages, if you want to transform into a human in front of Henri and others, they will probably start screaming " How are you Uto-sama would never change his appearance in to a human being! ''

"That ... you ...?"

　Lina asks with a confused face. That's right, because the overlord in front of her suddenly turned into a human being.

"I was surprised? This is the real me ... It 's strange. I 'm not a human anymore."

"...!?"

　Lina seemed increasingly unintelligible. Well, it's natural that she can't understand even if I suddenly say this.

　OK, I decided. Lina doesn't look like a child who tells or touches on a person's secret, and it's safe to reveal my secret.

"Lina, I want you to listen to what I'm talking about now"

　Then I talked to Lina about myself. I was originally a human being, I was from another world, I became a overlord when I realized that I had reincarnated. Lina listened to me quietly from beginning to end.
