152 – Meloin Hanahan (2)
Ceylon sat down on the sofa across from Meloin and smiled.
“Anyway… That sounds like it would be difficult.”
“…What?”
I made this much concession, but you say no?
The moment Meloin was about to reveal her displeasure.
“Because he doesn’t want that.”
Ceylon said as if she had any relationship with Ronin.
Meloin felt sorry for Ceylon, who was more sensible than expected.
Borrowing the names of Magan and Faraden, she has contact with the ronin, so does she think she can be anything?
“Who are you to judge that?”
“Ha ha, well.”
Ceylon smiled meaningfully.
“… “
Meloin felt an indescribable ominous feeling in her.
***
‘You think he wouldn’t want that?’
Feeling ominous at Ceylon’s mean attitude, Meloin looked back at her situation.
Obviously Magan said that.
This time, the cooperation of the ronin was carried out by Ceylon, the informant, according to Mageon’s instructions.
According to him, Ceylon is only a middle manager.
Because Margan’s name was there, she was able to contact Ronin, and she was able to obtain cooperation from him.
Unless Magan, a member of Paraden, lied,
The person who had a direct relationship with Nangin was Mageon, and Ceylon was an agent with no relationship, so it was natural to see it.
A commoner kid with nothing to offer except for being admitted to the academy at the top of his class, how could he come across such an eccentric?
‘Cheeky-‘
If it was the same as before, Meloin would have judged that Ceylon was making a fuss to lead the negotiations in their favor, and would have broken off the negotiations immediately.
But why?
“…”
I couldn’t bear to do that now.
Usually, Meloin was the eldest son of the great Han Han and a genius wizard, and he had nothing to lack or regret – he was in the position of absolute power.
Meloin also took it for granted.
Now then?
I was just a desperate and helpless wizard who had to meet the rongin and seek his teaching.
-You’re sorry.
Meloin didn’t understand those who usually stood in Eul’s position.
How can you be so miserable?
Is there no such thing as pride?
Meloin finally realized.
It was the first time Meloin, who had always been in the position of absolute superior, felt the position of Eul.
Talk.
Talk.
Talk.
Meloin’s fingers started tapping on her desk.
“Tell me what you want.”
“hahahahaha, tell me what you want. If someone hears it, they’ll misunderstand that I’m mentioning him to get better terms.”
Feel free.
Meloin glared at her coldly, but Ceylon only responded with her bouncy smile.
‘A sneaky bastard.’
In Meloin, the evaluation of Ceylon has risen (?).
“Don’t let me repeat the same thing over and over again.”
“Keep it deep in your heart. Surely, say what you want.”
Um.
Ceylon put her chin on her chin and let out her saliva.
“It has absolutely nothing to do with arranging a meeting with Sir Hanhan! This is a story. I do have one wish that I am longing for right now. Sir Hanhan wants me to keep away from Miss Kasha. However, I I belong to the same hour as Ms. Kasha. In addition, I sincerely hope to maintain a positive relationship with Ms. Kasya ‘until I graduate from the academy.’
Ceylon emphasized the part ‘until I graduate from the academy’ in tone.
In other words, until they graduated from the academy- no, it was a condition that they would not touch Ceylon or Katya for the rest of their lives.
“Tell me another condition.”
From noble mtl dot com
Meloin refused without hesitation.
“Yeah~? Was this a request that was too hard to listen to?”
“Let me be clear on this occasion. Ceylon. The reason you were put on the cadet qualification test is because you hung out with Katya. If you continue to hang out with Katya in the future, I intend to bury you in the aristocracy no matter what. .It’s very simple. Now, let me ask you again. Ceylon. Do you still want to continue your ‘friendship’ with Kasha?”
“hahahaha, of course. That’s why I want Lord Hanhan to somehow allow Miss Kasha and my friendship.”
“Why are you so obsessed with your relationship with Kasha? Do you covet his Hanahan’s name? Then give it up. His Hanahan’s name isn’t Hanahan.”
“Why do you hate Miss Kasha so much?”
“Because I’m inferior.”
“Miss Kasha took second place in the swordsmanship club with Miss Rebringer, right?”
“If it’s not the best, it means nothing.”
“If it’s not the best, it means nothing…”
Ceylon looked at Meloin as if it were an absolute truth, then smiled meaningfully.
“Is that so? Well, anyway, I’ve told you my wish, just as Sir Han Han said. My friendship with Ms. Kasha will not be disturbed by anyone else. That is my wish.”
Took.
Took.
Took.
Meloin tapped her fingers on the desk and looked at Ceylon.
“I can’t tell the difference.”
“Yes?”
“Do you really think there is no way for me to personally contact the ronin?”
-It’s okay if that guy doesn’t work, so you know.
Magan’s words to give up contact with the ronin if Ceylon says no.
At first Meloin took the word for granted, but now she thinks twice.
She herself is a melodrama.
And it’s Hanahan.
What Meloin Hanhan wanted was always granted without exception.
It will be the same this time.
As long as Meloin understood the existence of the roman, she decided that she could contact him as long as she put her mind to it.
“I am Hanahan, a melodrama.”
Meloin said in a tone full of her absolute confidence.
“On the other hand, you are nothing but a commoner child, and your boss is a mid-level officer, not a senior officer. If you were a ronin, which one would you choose between the two?”
“Um… Only he knows that, right?”
“That must be your wish.”
“hahahaha, are you going to do that?”
Ceylon gave another meaningful smile, and Meloin felt an ominous feeling she could not describe, but-
I didn’t care.
“I will tell you the results of the first screening. Non-conforming.”
“May I know the reason?”
“It is not of good quality.”
“Oops. It seems unfair, but on the other hand, it is a point that is difficult to refute… ! By the way, it’s new, but does the academy tolerate this kind of thing? Wasn’t the academy’s name meritocracy? Even if I look like this, I am the chief, right?”
“I wonder how he will come out of the academy. Because this is the first time that a commoner has surpassed the lineage of a great family to take the top position.”
“This is won… Will you become a commoner out of sadness at this point?”
“This concludes the first screening. Ceylon to be judged. I look forward to cultivating the dignity befitting an Ain Academy cadet by the next second screening.”
When Ceylon showed signs of nonsense, Meloin immediately broke her place.
***
Right after Meloin broke up with Ceylon, she immediately set out to find out whereabouts of her ronin with all her means.
“A mysterious ronin with overwhelming knowledge of black magic…?”
“Belongs to a certain group, wears a peculiar mask…”
“He has a strong physique, but his posture is bent and he is as small as an old man-“
“Your voice is dangerous as if you’re going to run out of breath, but it’s full of energy?”
“It’s a bunch of features. I think I’ll be able to find it soon enough.”
Meloin has again become the absolute leader.
Among Arien’s information handling experts, those in power and those in power were willing to help Meloin and gain his attention, so she took the position of Eul.
She even joined the family’s informants one by one.
The moment Meloin made up her mind, a personal information network covering all of Arien was installed.
All information floating around in Arien came through Meloin.
***
Three days have passed.
In the meantime, even though Meloin compiled one of her books, she received extensive information from others.
-Iza is a 6-star adventurer, and she and her colleagues have a history of destroying a 6-star black magic barrier in a whopping 1 week.
-We found the owner of the shop that used to sell the masks Lord Hanahan mentioned. After a brief glance, the mask disappeared and said that there was a coin lying there.
-She is a famous fixer in the back alleys, and she possesses the physical characteristics Lord Han Han said. However, it seems difficult to expect her expertise in the knowledge of great dark magic.
-It’s a secret meeting called the Candlelight Meeting, but it was a black magic group disguised as the Great Black Magic Research Society, so I knocked it out. The ronin you mentioned was not found.
If she had at least one plausible line of information in that vast amount of information, Meloin might have been able to wait calmly with her patience.
However, there was not a single line of plausible information out of all that information.
It was a strange thing.
A person with excellent talent would naturally come out and be known to others even if he hid like an awl in his pocket.
Even an awl in his pocket was not enough, he was like a famous sword in his pocket.
But there aren’t any common sightings or related rumors?
“…”
Meloin began to feel her nervousness along with her vague insecurities.
Calm down.
It’s only been three days.
She soothed herself, but she didn’t work out.
‘I’m sure you’ve heard the story I’m looking for.’
Rumors had already spread throughout Arien that Meloin was looking for a ‘masked ronin’.
She thought that before she found the ronin, the ronin side would find her first.
Why?
She’s always been like that.
However, no matter how much she waited, Nangin did not come to find Meloin.
It was a very unfamiliar experience for Meloin, who always made others wait in her absolute position.
A ronin will definitely want her own attention.
She was one of the reasons Meloin was confident that she could find the ronin.
The foundation was losing its power.
Eventually, Meloin came to mind a shocking possibility for her.
Maybe.
Nangin may not have any interest in me.
“…”
Meloin’s absolute confidence in her was cracked.
Then her anxiety and nervousness intensified.
‘What if she has already left Arien and headed somewhere else?’
No matter how many melodies, it was impossible to search all over the continent to find a person whose identity was unknown.
– Hess and hess.
Suddenly, his face came to mind.
Should I go over to him and get on his knee right now?
To him and Kasha?
Just imagining it, my patience reached its limit.
It was impossible for Meloin Hanahan.
“Damn it.”
With a frustrated heart, he headed towards the mansion located in the residential area of District 2 where he had met the ronin the other day.
‘What am I doing?’
I was wasting my time on meaningless things with the feeling of trying to catch at least a straw.
Meloin was extremely confused when she faced her stranger and her own self.
“…!”
Then…
Meloin found a figure looking down at her from the window of her mansion.
It was a ronin.
Frozen Meloin’s expression shattered.
He sprinted out of the seat with an extremely excited expression.
-Kwajik!
The closed mansion’s door froze in an instant, then shattered, giving way to Meloin.
So, without delay, Meloin entered the drawing room of the mansion-
Finally, I met Rongin.
“Meloin Hanahan.”
A voice like the breaking of dry branches.
He has a body that is both strong and small.
Above all, a black mask that seems to have emphasized the skeleton of the face.
It was definitely that ronin.
“I heard you were looking for me.”
Meloin felt goose bumps in her own arm.
What is it? What about this feeling? What is this feeling?
It was unfamiliar.
It was an unfamiliar pleasure and joy.
“Yes. And you came to find me after all.”
Meloin’s icy expression had already cracked.
Various emotions were slightly raising the corner of Meloin’s mouth.
“I knew you would come for me.”
“Why did you think that?”
“I am Hanahan, a melodrama.”
The pride of wizards that the Academy Magic Department, which has a long history, proudly presents as their pride.
A genius wizard who has solved many difficult problems listed in the Magic Society and created many magic formulas and theories.
The head of a great family, Hanahan, who is stepping into the transcendent realm as the pinnacle of cold magic – the son of the heart of ice.
In the future, an existence that is evaluated to be reborn as the pinnacle of continental magic and the ruler of the continent, succeeding the Ice Heart.
In Meloin Hanahan’s life, there were so many people who wanted his attention that it was pointless to count.
Therefore, there was not a single person who did not want his attention.
“I see.”
By the way, the attitude of the ronin, who is receiving the attention of such a melodrama, Han Han, seemed sullen.
For some reason, Meloin became impatient and hurriedly continued.
“The thing that came to me must be that I have something you want. Say what you want.”
The talking Meloin was full of confidence.
Because I was confident that I would be willing to give anything the ronin wanted.
It was because he was the absolute best.
“No.”
“What?”
“I don’t want anything from you. I just came here because I was curious about the reason you were looking for me. So, Meloin. Tell me. What is the reason you are looking for me?”
“…”
Meloin was fascinated by the flow he was experiencing for the first time in his life.
“…”
Rongin looked at Meloin, who had become so hardened, and moved his feet as if he were about to leave.
“Knowledge of Dark Magic!”
Meloin hurriedly exclaimed in bewilderment.
“Knowledge of Dark Magic?”
“At that time, the way you broke the barrier- I am interested in your knowledge of the Great Dark Magic. Please share it with me.”
Destroy the information protection barrier of an 8-star warlock in 10 minutes.
In Meloin’s opinion, there were only three possible cases.
The master of the barrier.
Have a unique and special knowledge of Dark Magic.
Of course, Meloin thought it was the latter.
For a warlock who has achieved an achievement of 8 stars or higher, I really didn’t feel anything from the ronin.
An 8-star warlock would have reached the pinnacle of control over her own powers, but it was impossible to hide them perfectly.
“Why should I?”
“I’ll give you a reasonable cause.”
“Hmm…”
Nangin looked up and down at Meloin while salivating.
“…”
Melloin, who usually evaluates others one-sidedly, was restless and waited for Ronin’s answer.
That expression was not the usual arrogant confidence, but was full of cautious anticipation.
“I refuse.”
That expression changed in an instant.
“You have no qualifications.”
“…!”
Have no qualifications?
Me?
The words had nothing to do with Meloin’s life.
Meloin with a desperate expression blocked the path of the man who was about to leave without any regrets.
“That’s something you don’t know yet!”
“Get out of the way.”
“I said I’ll give you a fair reward! What you want! Say what you want!”
Looking at him now as someone who knows Meloin, you wouldn’t recognize that he was Meloin.
Just like that, Meloin’s expression was full of all sorts of emotions.
Nangin, however, did not pay any attention to Meloin.
“I can give you anything you ask for!”
Then, at the words of Meloin, who became more desperate, she finally stopped.
“Can you give me anything I ask for?”
“Yes!”
Meloin’s expression showed confidence after a long time.
“…Do you have any of their tokens?”
“…What?”
But it disappears immediately.
“No.”
“Wait a minute! How do I get that token!? If you tell me, I won’t look for you until you have the token!”
“…”
The ronin was in trouble.
Meloin calmed his heart that was about to explode at any moment and concentrated on the next words of the narrator.
“…What?”
For a moment, Meloin’s expression froze.
In a different way than usual.
“Ceylon.”
An unimaginable name was mentioned in the mouth of the ronin.
“It’s him who asked me to meet you. So ask him. Don’t bother me anymore.”
My guy become an actor. It is his calling.
