58 – The End of Negotiation
Immediately after somehow escaping from the classification of magical powers that covered her whole body, she took a deep breath and straightened her posture.
The surroundings are in an instant of chaos, and in front of me is Lizerote, who radiates blatant hostility with red eyes.
As expected, you got your eyes right.
I did it with mental preparation, but I didn’t expect it to react this sensitively.
Is this why you don’t carelessly touch other people’s ills?
‘It can’t be helped.’
However, this is an indispensable process in order to borrow Lizerote’s power.
Buying and suffering doesn’t suit my temper, but this time I’ll have no choice but to fill it with my body.
But receiving that anger with your body is an act of suicide, and it only means that you will play your snout well.
“Please calm down. People will come here.”
“The soundproof barrier was put down. It means that no matter what you scream or do here, you won’t have to worry about your sound leaking out.”
Is it an established fact that I am screaming?
In the first place, only the soundproof barrier was put on, but if this amount of magical energy suddenly fluctuates, it is certain that one of the professors will notice something wrong and come.
There’s no way a person like Lizerote wouldn’t know that.
It’s probably because your eyes are overturned, making it impossible to make a rational decision.
It’s just pitiful.
“If you don’t want to die, tell me right away. Where did you hear that?”
“Who wouldn’t say that? I’m trying to say something, but I don’t want to blow magic at all….”
“… ….”
At my point, Lizerote seemed to hesitate, perhaps realizing that she had poured out her emotions too suddenly.
Slowly.
Right after that, the magic that was swirling around me slightly dampened the momentum, and I felt like I could breathe a little more.
With his skills, burying me right here would be as easy as twisting a baby’s finger.
However, there would be no way to dig up the source of the information I know.
Considering Lizerote’s backstory, that would be a more dangerous path.
If that’s the case, then you must have realized now that it’s not too late to listen to my words and judge.
“… Tell me However, if there is even the slightest suspicion, I will kill you right away.”
Originally, it would be absurd to say that a person called the student council president would kill the same academy cadet, but I didn’t even refute it.
That means I am well aware of the dangers of what I am about to say.
Because even in the original work, this was one of the top secrets that people who knew it could count on their fingers.
“Where can I start?”
“This is the last thing you said. How do you know about my eyes?”
This is the most fundamental yet key question.
My life can be saved if I look around carefully.
He swallowed with a sense of tension comparable to when he faced Sirius and removed his dry lips.
The sight of Lizerote sitting on the sofa as if she wouldn’t even allow her to sit down was very sad, but if she were to hide, she could do nothing.
“This is probably the reason seniors would expect. It is because I know about the existence of the person who passed on the eye and left.”
“I guess so. My question is, where did you get that information from? Even if it’s a death squad, you won’t be able to know the inside story.”
Maybe because I mentioned the death squad earlier, Lizerote tended to look for the source of information from the death squad.
You’re not wrong.
Actually, the name I am trying to sell off as an excuse is also true.
I should explain that I didn’t just reach them with their information.
“Yes, that’s right. There was a lot of information before and after the war in the death squad, but I couldn’t find a story about my senior anywhere.”
This is true.
The excuse I’m going to say from now on is that Aden almost copied the story of Lizerote’s identity from the original work. The result has been reached.
“But Lumir Mercus. She was able to find out about the person who was also called the [Witch of Fear] And who is your mother.”
“… ….”
Yes. Rumir Mercus.
One of the original five heroes, a sorceress who passed away about 10 years after the Great War.
In her work, Olberus, who is included in her archmage class, praised her highly enough to say that she was the only person in the world who saw her peak of magic with her own mouth. It was a person.
Such a Lumir was born with an eye called a demon eye from her birth, which does not have a negative meaning, but it is said to have had the meaning of ‘an eye against demons’.
With just the presence of these eyes, during the Great War, aside from the Sword Saint, the enemy boss, Alzeros, put his name on the list of the most wary ones, so you can at least indirectly know how great it is.
Anyway, this Mystic Eye had the possibility of being born with Lizerote, who inherited her blood as well.
So, fearing that her fate or her own child will become a target for the remnants of her followers, Rumire gave birth to her daughter and before she died, she gave a favor to her colleague Olberus.
If this child is born with the same magical eyes as hers, please completely erase all records related to her mother and raise her as much as possible out of her reach of her magic.
In the end, Lizerote was born with the same eyes as her mother.
She later grows up with the help of Olberus and other heroes, but despite the efforts of those around her, she eventually learns of the existence of magic, pays attention to it, and even enters the academy. Is
“The record that Prince Mercus was pregnant was written in the diary of the member of the order who witnessed it at the time, but there was no record after he was born. Besides, the timing was right now, in the third year, so I was dubious.”
“It would be too much to figure out with just that.”
Lizerote’s voice as she uttered those words sounded like she was whining in an attempt to somehow find fault, so I added a bitter smile.
“Of course, her physical appearance also played a part. Her indigo-blue hair and red eyes are a rare color.”
“Is that the end?”
“If I had to recite more, there might be a record that I received a lot of favor from the president… That’s too vague to be used as evidence. There is a possibility that she is purely because of her abilities.”
Actually, as I said, Olberus did not particularly favor Lizerote.
Of course, since he’s a colleague’s child, it can’t be helped that he draws more attention, but at least he didn’t take the punishment he deserved or gave him personal convenience.
In the original story, Lize Rotte also said in a funny voice that the only favor she received from Olberus was until just before entering her academy.
“… If the reaction had just been dull, I would have walked away thinking that I must have guessed wrong.”
“It means you got stabbed. So, are there any guarantees that you won’t spread this information around?”
With the expression that he ate a blow, the mana that had faded began to overflow again and grow in size.
To be honest, I haven’t come up with an excuse to refute this point.
Even if I tell you to trust me here, it’s a matter of Lizerote’s decision whether or not to trust me.
Besides, unlike her or her aden, I have no clear reason to go after her followers.
It’s not like what happened to my parents at all, it’s just that I know the original work.
In the process, I just committed this action under the judgment that if this exchange meeting went the way I thought, it would be difficult to break through without the power of Lizerote.
“No. So, it’s up to you to choose whether or not to believe this, and whether or not to help me.”
She threw the sword from her waist to her side and stared into Lize Rotte’s eyes.
I really have no intention of dying, but at least I did it with the thought that I should show my will.
Unless this guy goes crazy in the first place, even if he thinks I’m selling this information, he won’t be able to touch it easily.
Externally, I am known as the person who solved the Wizard’s Forest case.
At the end of such a silent confrontation, Lizerote withdrew her magical powers that surrounded me even though she had an expression of disapproval.
“Hmph, if it hadn’t been for the words I heard from the president, I would have killed him right away. Thank you.”
If you’re talking about the Chancellor, you mean Olberus?
What did the old man say about me?
Of course, since we’ve talked about the Wizard’s Forest in many ways, I’m sure there’s nothing to say about me, but it bothers me for some reason.
It must have been quite important if it was a word with a big impact enough to reap the seeds of doubt in Lizerote.
What is it?
“… And I will also listen to your request. How do you want them to move?”
“You can hide in my shadow and follow me around. Even with vision sharing magic.”
“Anyway, you’re a bad guy to know someone else’s unique magic.”
Once again, Lisée Rotte turned his head and snorted, and issued a congratulatory order, saying that he would call again tomorrow, so let’s leave.
With this, the biggest hurdle that I was most worried about has passed.
What remains now is the question of how the request from Aden will be fulfilled.
