Life in the Magic Tower!
In the Sage’s research department, a sharp straw sounded. Even though the water in the Ah was already showing the bottom, Ariasviel did not stop inhaling the straw at all.
“…That…Lady…”
“Jooooo!!”
Ariaspil sucked on the straw more forcefully as if cutting off Leonardo’s words. The liquid and air were roughly entangled in the straw and sucked in, forming a scream.
“…Calm down… Brother…”
Rios tried to calm his younger brother who was so openly dissatisfied. After all, the cause of this situation was the person who caused the transfer, so he was trying to take responsibility.
Slap!
“Evil!”
Of course, I savagely cut off Rios’ touch. In fact, the one who is more angry with Arya now is closer to Rios than Leo.
“…Grios is also reflecting on himself, so please forgive me. Miss Ariaspil…”
Arya then glared at Ameri with her murderous eyes.
“Hey…!”
Ameri let out her screams, unable to overcome the killing blow. Those eyes, the same eyes I saw four years ago when I came out of the women’s bathroom with Leonardo.
She had eyes that seemed to crush humans like insects. Ameri felt herself crushed in fear by those gazes.
“…Calm down. Aria’s sister.”
“Ainah.”
Although not directly, Arya was also very angry with Ain.
“…Are you calling ‘sister’ to anyone other than me?”
“Yes. The only people who use that title are Ariaspil and Ameri Esp.”
“…That’s right… That… To people…”
Ameri felt a waterfall of cold sweat run down her own head.
Actually, to Ameri, it didn’t really matter whether or not she was called her older sister, but that title was already firmly established with Ain.
‘…If I had known it would be like this, I would have subtracted the name change from developing sensitivity…’
Ameri felt bitter regret at her suggestion that she change her title to something familiar to increase sensitivity.
“…Ain-nim, you don’t have to call me sister…”
“But Ameri-nim is a woman I know who is on the same level as Ariasviel-nim. I think it’s right for her to use the title of older sister accordingly.”
“Ah~ I see~ I didn’t know~ It’s my fault for not knowing~”
Arya came to look at Ameri with her dead eyes as opposed to her rhyming voice. Fear filled Ameri’s eyes as she wondered if it was her destiny to fall through her dead eyes.
“…Ah…Aria-nim, Leonardo-nim, and Ain-nim are together, so it’s like one family!! Ahahahaha!!”
So Ameri hurriedly praised Aria and Leonardo as she struggled to survive.
It was almost like an improvisation, but if I didn’t do anything, it was clear that her sharp blue holy sword would cut me into pieces.
“…Ah…Ah… What are you talking about all of a sudden? Leo troublesome~”
But fortunately, she was an easy-going woman whose intelligence would be reduced to a third if Leo and Ain were involved.
“Leonardo-kun thinks so too, doesn’t he?”
Ameri thought, ‘Is this really working?’ But she wanted to drive the momentum further.
“…Ah…I think it would be better to be a little self-respecting when you say that. If people misunderstand, it could lead to the issue of Reinhardt’s succession. And…”
Ameri thought to herself.
‘Ah… I’m dead now. Please let me be born in a world without graduate school in my next life.’
…The moment I prayed for the deceased’s soul.
“And… I’m a bit shy too…”
“…Are you ashamed? What?”
“Yes? It’s nothing…”
“No long, her face is all red!”
Then, as the two continued to chat, Amery felt that she had saved her life.
The only problem was that her side was extremely cold due to her aftereffects.
“…Anyway, I’m glad everyone seems to be healthy. She heard in the papers that it was a big deal…”
“…A lot happened. Fortunately, it worked out well.”
Leonardo smiled naturally, but spoke a lie without hesitation. This time, the more secrets were hidden, the safer it was.
She only asked Ameri to make and carry the equipment she requested, but she did not explain in detail.
It meant that the more people who knew this secret, the more people involved in this situation.
That also meant that more people would be in danger.
“Oh, I see… I thought you were here because of this incident.”
“Actually, there are places like that too. The reason I received the equipment I made this time is to further strengthen crime prevention.”
It wasn’t a lie. However, it was not only for the purpose of defense, but also for the purpose of attack.
“All the necessary equipment has been completed with Eileen. You just need to bring it.”
“…But Mr. Amery.”
Arya put down her cup of coffee after she finished drinking and looked at Ameri’s face intently.
When I first saw her, she was skinny enough to be thought of as a ghoul or a subspecies of the undead, but now she has transformed into a lively woman who is considered really beautiful.
“…You have changed a lot? Did she exercise at all?”
“Oh, that’s because of this.”
As if she had waited, Ameri confidently held out her ring on her hand. It was a top-notch magic tool that was said to be the most useful among the sage’s legacy.
“Thanks to the Ring of Peace and Peace, all the fatigue and toxins in her body are coming out.”
“…Ah…That means…”
Her original appearance was like that, but did she become that way during her graduate school life?
“…Is graduate school like that?”
“…Yes. If possible, don’t go over even if they tell you to come. In particular, never ask the professor to eat separately.”
Everyone nodded at Ameri’s warning. The meal was crueler than her demonic pact.
“…Then you’re still graduating…”
“…I got my master’s degree… I just need to get a doctorate. She’s not long… As long as she does her graduation research… Ahahahaha…. Heh heh heh uh…”
In a situation where they were confused as to whether they were laughing or crying, everyone looked at Ameri in disbelief.
She was actually able to recover her fatigued and caffeine-ridden body thanks to her ring, but thanks to her professor in charge, the Black Mage Tower Lord, she was forced to work dozens of times over.
Thanks to that, Ameri’s mind had to work 24/7.
Seeing the madness, Rios lowered his head and wiped away his tears. The reason why he couldn’t stop his only best friend from going to hell was because it was definitely his own fault.
Aria also saw a slave who was so pitiful that her jealousy and hostility instantly faded. She was able to recall again that there were such pitiful people in the world.
“…Then shall we go?”
“…Ah…Yes…”
A solemn atmosphere flowed, and the party went out.
“It’s been a while, senpai.”
At that moment, a short, bobbed wizard stood in front of the door, leaning against the wall and quietly looking at Leo.
“Ob, long time no see.”
“How are you? When I heard about the situation, I was very worried.”
Orb, who had walked in a straight posture, bowed at his waist in a 90-degree posture and greeted Leonardo.
“It’s okay. Saint Lumine treated me well.”
Soon, Orb looked at the party next to him.
“Long time no see. Mr. Rios. Mr Ain. How are you?”
“Ob! Your expression looks different today!”
“I see. Your eyebrow muscles are working a lot more.”
“Ob-kun is definitely in a good mood today.”
Arya looked at her man, Oubra, with a puzzled look. She said it was because when she saw her, she had a very cold impression and looked dull instead of colorful.
“Nice to meet you. My name is O’Brien Resert. It is an honor to meet you, the warrior.”
Contrary to his words, O’Brien’s expression did not move at all. He had the perfect poker face, like that of a veteran who is good at gambling.
“Oh, is Mr. O’Brien a wizard too?”
“Yes. I am the next jockey of senior Leonardo, and I received a lot of help from him. Even if you’re my father, it won’t be enough…”
“That went too far.”
From nob le mt l dot com
My father was a Leo who was tired enough to be Ain’s parents.
“Sorry. I will correct it and call you Master.”
“That went too far. You lift me up so much.”
“But it is true that it has actually helped me a lot. From magic to combat sense…”
Soon O’Brien preached the legend of Leonardo with an expressionless expression. Aria Spiel saw it and felt the illusion of seeing a priest reciting sutras in a temple.
“Now, calm down. That’s not the point.”
“Sorry. Then let’s go.”
Orb guided Leonardo and the others as they were.
Halfway through her life, Ameri was forced to fall by her professor’s call, but her party was still unable to capture her.
It was like being a graduate student.
***
“…Have arrived.”
The place we arrived at was a building with a huge dome. The round, crude building reminded me of a heavy circular shield turned over.
“…This is the demon executioner…”
“It is also the Mine Lab. It is also a place to study captured or killed demons.”
So the external image was not very good. In fact, it was because countless foolish wizards who walked the path of black magic using this kind of research appeared one after another in the Mage Tower.
“However, among the generations selected by my senpai, not a single warlock has ever emerged. This is because we developed a test that emphasizes character as well as skill, which is…”
“Orb.”
“Sorry. Senior.”
Saying that, Orb spread his palm near the doorknob. Then the lock on the door worked and opened the entrance.
“Wow…There is such a device!”
“Yes, it is a place with a lot of information about demons and black magic, so it needs to be thoroughly guarded.”
As the air escaped from the door, the air pressure matched with the outside. Soon after, a complex mechanical sound was heard and the door opened.
“Originally, as a rule, outsiders were prohibited from entering, but since I heard that the hero and his party have absolute trust from Leonardo-sama, they were allowed to enter as a special exception.”
“…Absolute trust…”
Ariaspil looked at Leonardo at the word absolute trust.
It was also Leonardo. Emphasizing that he believes in himself is the same as emphasizing that he has an owner.
At least Arya believed that way.
“…Then the body…”
“Before that. Senior.”
Ob opened his mouth in a dry voice.
“Pysis Natra called Ariasviel.”
“…Yes? Me?”
“Yes, I only called the hero Ariaspil.”
Ariasviel made a puzzled expression. But he wasn’t a big question mark. He was the only one who specialized in spiritism, so it wouldn’t be strange if he had to call and talk to him.
“…Then let me guide you…”
“No. I will guide you. Senior, please focus on what you were doing.”
Everyone felt a sense of incongruity at the resolute tone. At that moment, Aria opened her mouth first.
“It’s okay, Leonardo. I’ll be back soon. If it’s late, I’ll tell you in advance.”
“…I understand.”
Leonardo showed a slightly sullen expression, but did not show any big disagreement. If it was Phys, he was an acquaintance with himself, so he wouldn’t have to be too suspicious.
“Then I’ll be back.”
Saying that, Orb and Arya went out the door.
“Ainah.”
“Yes.”
But Leonardo had no intention of staying still. At Leo’s direction, Ain immediately raised her claws from Dean.
Leonardo got one for tracking.
As the werewolf’s claws were inserted, Ain’s appearance began to change to resemble Dean’s. Additional wolf ears sprouted from her ears, and her fingernails grew black and sharp.
“Ah…? Why all of a sudden…”
“Oh, it’s nothing. There are times when demons or monsters escape, so we make it easy to respond in advance. It can also be detected by smell with a combination.”
Although Rios was convinced, he couldn’t consider it natural. I wondered if it was necessary to do that at the timing when Ariasviel and O’Brien went out together.
But, of course, Leonardo had no intention of using Ain to eavesdrop on the conversation between Ariasviel and O’Brien.
‘…Aura in the ears…’
Because he had to do it himself. Normally, I would have trusted him, but O’Brien earlier was strange to anyone. It won’t be a problem if you check it out just in case.
The reason I asked Ain to transform now was to slightly disturb her gaze.
[…Yes…Thing…]
But I couldn’t hear the words clearly because the door was so thick.
I really didn’t intend to eavesdrop, but Leo, concerned that there might be an enemy outside, strengthened the senses of his ears even more keenly.
[…Many people… Are aiming for Arias Feel…]
[…Yes…Yes…]
It was the voice of Orb and Arya. Leonardo’s eyes widened slightly at those words.
[Please… Accept this… This ticket… For the school festival…]
[…Ah then… Thank you…]
It’s a festival… In this situation, what does it mean when a man and a woman are given tickets to use in the Mage Tower Academy festival?
“…Ah…Ah…?”
Rios looked at Leonardo with a trembling expression.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I am fine.”
“Why is this suddenly…? Why is your mouth like that…”
“Ahahahaha…”
Leonardo smiled.
“…It’s okay…!”
The only flaw was that he kept his smile uneasy while straining his facial muscles enough to make his blood vessels stand out.
From nob le mt l dot com
My lips were quivering as if I had a spasm.
“Ah…Very…Good…It’s okay…”
Unfortunately, it didn’t look good at all.
