Wizards of the Mage Tower (2) with illustrations
“Manroji…”
Elder Morshtan, the head of black among the nine magic schools of the tower, asked the last disciple who hadn’t returned two days ago for news.
“Sorry, Elder Morshtan… I haven’t found the Manroji Priest yet…”
“·······.”
“Ah, maybe… he’s not going from one gambling house to another. It was common for him to stay up all night drunk in a gambling house.”
Manroji is one of Morshtan’s disciples. In a mage tower with a total of 8 floors, if you are a 4th floor wizard, you are a fairly skilled disciple.
There’s no way that he would have cheated in a back alley gambling house… From common sense, it had to be said that he fell into pleasure and couldn’t get out.
But other possibilities can be considered.
Possibility that Manroji is… the Golden Mage Aedrin.
If he could freely change his face, there was a possibility that when the magic corps moved this time, he would lock up one of the party and join him.
The lord of the Mage Tower, which is rumored to be full of rumors. Lord Adrin. He receives direct instructions from Ardri Tates Balthazar, the god of light and usurpation.
This vampire capture operation was also ordered by Ardrie, and he only heard of the ‘Vampire Road’ plan, but neither Elder Morshtan nor Elder Ardmalek knew the detailed plan.
If his disciple, Manroji, is in fact Aedrin disguised, he may have taken action.
“Send Relin. Find Manroji’s whereabouts.”
“I understand, Elder Morshtan.”
I’ll have to check it out though. After Morshtan gave orders to his disciples, he focused on the materials in the Great Library.
It is not yet time. This command is great.
Securing the body of the vampire Marie Dunareff… and murdering Eriu Cassar, the chairman of the board.
It was a burden even for the Mage Tower to cause such a great incident. That’s why you need to aim for a more certain time.
“Wow, Ren. Dipta is big.”
“Don’t make a fuss. The library told you to be quiet.”
“Huh… Ren always talks to me about something.”
A first-year brother and sister who visited the library to prepare for an assignment caught the eye of the warlock Morshtan.
“······prisoners.”
The clans that the princess who supports the magic tower trembles. In addition… there were no demons like this in the experiment because they had such strong and durable vitality.
“you.”
“Yes, Elder Morshtan.”
“Get to know those little boys.”
Morshtan stared at the siblings with a gloomy expression. That uneasy gaze pierced the brother and sister for a very long time.

body room. He was training with Arisha.
“Senior, this is Rosé, a first year student.”
“Uh, junior Rosé. What’s going on?”
“Actually, there was a difficult part in the process of designing the weapon…”
In my last hunting ground practice, I threw magic stones at 400 freshmen.
All of them are level 3 or higher magic stones. While handing out these, I told freshmen to visit me if they had any problems with designing weapons.
“Corrine, what’s going on?”
“Uh, a junior came to visit. Wait, I’m resting.”
“Yes~”
Arisha, who was sweating profusely, started drinking bottled water while wiping her sweat with a towel provided.
“Could I… be in the way?”
“Huh? No. Don’t be pressured. Which part is difficult?”
“Actually, here’s the magic circuit that connects the seams and blades…”
I’ve done thousands or tens of thousands of weapons production in
I wholeheartedly gave advice to my juniors, and even though they didn’t understand everything, they took notes diligently and absorbed my advice.
“That’s enough. Rather than Fergus… go to Holgren. He makes great swords better.”
“Oh, thank you!”
“Bring it in when it’s finished. I’ll check the condition.”
“Four! Thank you so much!”
Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.
Junior Rosé who is leaving. Looking at her juniors like that, Arisha tidied up her hair and said,
“It’s the third one today. Aren’t you bothered?”
“It would be beneficial if I survived by giving a few words of advice to the green juniors.”
“Hmm…”
“why?”
“It’s just. I feel like I’m losing something.”
“I feel like training keeps getting interrupted? I’m sorry. I told you that I would be here during this time.”
“······That’s it. Yes, well, that’s it.”
Why are you evasive without being clear?
“That’s right, Corinne. Our 「Love and War」 Liberal Arts class. Are you ready for next week’s assignment?”
“Ha~ that’s what you mean.”
Love and War is one of the classes that I applied for as a general education class for the first semester.
It’s a 2-credit, 2-hour class every week, and since it’s a theater-related class, I thought it would be a sweet class that ends with watching a play and writing an impressionist…
“There are so many things to do. I want you to go see a play, write a play review, have a discussion… The final task was to even play a play in groups, right?”
“Joe, isn’t it nice? There are many things to experience firsthand, and many things to think about…”
“In the meantime, let’s finish training here and do homework together at a cafe?”
“Is that so? Then I’ll buy the coffee!”
We headed straight to a nearby cafe.
Desserts and bread are baked every day on the premise that students will use the on-campus cafe, and it is always crowded with many people using it for study.
When I was in college, I didn’t understand the cafe students because I only exercised, but now that I’ve been in the academy for 6 years, I understand them.
There are many temptations at home. Do this, watch TV, do that, do computer… Even SNS, which is a waste of life, becomes a proverb if you spend time fiddling with it on the bed.
On the other hand, places like cafes and reading rooms are less tempting. Even if the chair isn’t soft, he can’t do anything else, so he naturally concentrates on his studies.
Of course, case by case.
“In the end. This is an affair disguised as a fateful romance.”
“But Yeoju was an unfortunate family. Her husband was also very generous to women.”
“It’s a personal family matter. He’s not a good husband, but that doesn’t justify infidelity.”
“Uh… that’s not right…”
“The narratives of each other were romantic, and the circumstances were likely. But in the end, it’s a matter of wrapping paper.”
I spoke in principle, and Arisha responded emotionally. It seems that the adultery play was quite impressive.
“Eh, what if! Do you think Corinne wouldn’t have an affair?!”
“Huh? Hey, why are you talking about that?”
“You have to empathize with the main characters as well. Yes, yes. For example, Corinne and her sister and a married couple.”
“Why is Mr. Lunia here?”
“You were even going to get engaged!”
“I told you before that it’s fake.”
“It’s family law!”
Arisha held the bread and coffee with serious eyes and pointed at me and Lunia.
“Your brother-in-law, your sister, and your family affairs? That, the lease period… the boredom period? I’d say something like that.”
“Tongue, brother-in-law?”
“In that situation, what if I seduce your brother-in-law?”
“… to seduce?”
“Yes! ···············Ah, no, it’s called family law.”
Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?
You were embarrassed because you shouted yes so confidently. Is it family law? Is it family law?
“Assuming you have a sister-in-law who is young, pretty, and inexperienced, but loves her brother-in-law…”
Arisha quietly sat down next to me and looked up at me.
“Brother-in-law… I like brother-in-law.”
Blue-eyed eyes look up at me. An alluring… somewhat bewitching gaze. The red heat flower that slightly reminded me stimulated my heart.
“I-what do you mean by saying this?”
“Wouldn’t it be normal to refuse…?”
“I-I’m not that attractive?!”
“No, why does the story turn out that way…”
It’s a quandary. Having an affair becomes a moral issue, and if you don’t, it’s like telling a girl that you’re not attractive.
Do I have to choose lies even for the sake of social relations here?
“for a moment.”
“Mr. Corinne?”
“Let’s change the situation. You and I got married, and Mr. Runia seduced me. Of course, I don’t think Mr. Runia would seduce his brother-in-law…”
“Ha, what do you want to do?”
“Yes?”
“It’s nothing! Oh, anyway, you mean that Corinne-san and I got married…?”
Arisha is embarrassed as she twists her fingers. I’m not even an elementary school student…”
“yes?”
“Oh, how many children have you had?”
“Baby? Uh… wouldn’t it be normal to give birth to one or two?”
“It’s not enough! It’s definitely more than twelve!”
“······Is it possible?”
Is it not enough to give birth to triplets in 4 years?
“Eh, that’s what it says. It’s good to have a lot of children unconditionally.”
At those words, I slowly lowered my eyes to Arisha’s stomach. To be honest, I have a slim body type that would be dangerous even if I only gave birth to twins…
“Anyway, you’re my wife. Let’s say that Mr. Lunia seduces me in that situation. Are you okay?”
“Mmmmm…”
“Isn’t that something to worry about?!”
“Uh… ha, but you love Corinne, don’t you?”
“Huh? Wouldn’t it be the case if I tried to commit adultery…?”
“I love you… but it’s unfortunate that we can’t get along…”
does that happen? Aren’t you too good at reverse profiling? Think a little more selfishly, no, with common sense…
“Mmm…! If you really love Corrine-san! I think it’ll be all right!”
“I’m starting to get scared of your view of marriage…”
“If you deny that in the first place… you’re also denying my birth.”
“uh···.”
Did you even think about that? I feel sorry for stepping on a useless landmine.
“Arisha, there is nothing wrong with your birth…”
“I know. Corrin-san.”
Arisha was shy and scratched the back of my hand in a circle with her finger. As if you would leave it to me.
“Please love Corinne without discrimination, even if she is an illegitimate child.”
Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?
You’re saying that on the premise that I’m going to commit an affair?
Arisha’s expression was so serious that she couldn’t bear to say it.
“It’s good if everyone gets along well! They have a big family and build a huge house!”
what is it sir So if I marry Arisha, then I can live with other women?
Something seems wrong, but I can’t say it’s wrong. If I said it wrong, it’s the Tallulah angle…
“Hee hee, that’s not bad. Even if you give birth to thirteen, you’ll have at least twenty-six!”
I couldn’t point out Arisha’s slightly out of line view of the family until the very end.

Relin was a third-floor apprentice of the Dark Mage School among the wizards who visited this time.
“Mr. Ha… Manroji, you bald head. Where are you going?”
As far as going alone now, Relin is chewing on his senior priest. Wherever you go, the lower end is treated badly.
“That bald head? Well? He took a lot of money.”
“There were people who suspected that it was a scam.”
According to Manroji’s usual pattern, he seems to have gambled in the back alleys of the city.
“ha······.”
But it disappeared like a charm. Last seen information is jumbled together.
Some say that he went out drunk, while others said he went out with prostitutes on his side with the money he earned.
Wizards of the Mage Tower may be quick-witted when it comes to magic, but researching information is a chore. What do you want from the head of the desk?
“Damn bald. Damn Morshtan. The reason I entered the Magic Tower was not to mess around like this…”
The training period for the Magic Tower is longer and more difficult than expected.
It takes a year to learn a piece of magic knowledge from the old elders, and a long time is wasted on chores in the name of apprenticeship.
It is not a teacher-student relationship like an academy, but an apprenticeship relationship, so they do not teach magic recklessly.
“Just finish this job. I’ll transfer to the enemy faction right away. In the enemy faction, all I have to do is please that old man…”
Lelin is a low-end wizard, but she has a fairly smooth appearance.
Even old people who talk about magical pride and noble spirit couldn’t come to their senses when they took off their robes and showed some of their thighs.
Lelin, who had only obtained vague information, went in search of a decent pub nearby.
It is a more sophisticated and atmospheric bar than the bar where Man Lodge entered for gambling. Relin, who is as intelligent as a wizard, should use a place like this, filthy bald head…
“Are you here alone?”
“uh?”
Then, naturally, someone sitting next to me. Relin knows who he is.
“you······.”
A guide from the academy. I don’t know the name of the knight, but I remember it when I see the face.
“This is Corinne Locke. Miss Lelyn.”
“Why are underage people in bars?”
“It’s where my uncle does it.”
He didn’t hesitate to sit down, leaning beside her and looking at Lelyn.
“Can I buy you a drink?”
“it’s okay.”
“Uncle Paul, two martinis here.”
Even if she refuses to say no, Corinne still buys a drink and sits down. Naturally, Lelin’s gaze also turned to Corinne.
“Aren’t you too young to blow up a work comment?”
“Ah, you’re a wizard. Think rationally.”
“······Rationally what?”
From noble mtl dot com
“It’s only natural that there are flowers and bees are attracted to them.”
“Flowers? Bees? Hahaha…!”
“This is the work comment. I haven’t even started yet.”
Relin didn’t feel bad about this spirit world’s tricks. She was the one who used to curry favor with old people in the Mage Tower.
Even receiving an orphan girl for a biological experiment is the end of having to submit dozens of reports. I can’t possibly hate the spirit world that seduces me with its sweet eyes and voice.
‘Well, that old man is much better than Sleepy.’
While transferring to the enemy faction, Relin recalled the old wizard who seduced a professor-class mage’s secretary.
She soon decided to enjoy this brief break.
“Oh, you’re drinking.”
Corinne takes a drink from the bartender and hands it to Lelyn.
“It’s surprising. Do wizards in the Mage Tower drink too?”
“It’s prejudice. Rather, it’s us who drink alcohol with binge.”
“There is a prejudice that intelligent and elite.”
“That’s not prejudice.”
“Hehe, how about experiments? The Mage’s Tower is famous for research. Don’t they make things like rabbits with horns?”
“Well, rabbits are good for laboratory animals.
“Have you done anything lately? Please tell me. My friend is planning to enter the Mage Tower soon, but I’m very worried.”
············
·········

“Corin, you are a player.”
“What are you talking about?”
In the midst of getting out of the bathroom for a while as an excuse, Arisha sends a stare of criticism.
“Where the hell did you learn that?”
“what?”
“You’re flirting with women!”
Ah, but it’s a misunderstanding.
Actually, it is true that I approached to flirt with you. However, there is room for misunderstanding that I am a player in flirting with women.
“No, is there anyone who doesn’t like buying alcohol?”
“…isn’t it?”
There’s no one who doesn’t like free. If you buy it even if you reject it, you will like it.
“Originally, people like to be the subject of conversation.”
“…So that’s why you didn’t talk about Corinne at all?”
“That’s right. Even if you just listen to the other person, you’ll eat half of it.”
Wow, you’re amazing~ You’re such an interesting person~ Being the subject of a conversation in this way makes the other person feel good too.
“I think you apply that very well to seducing women…”
“what?”
“It’s nothing. Do what’s left and come back.”
“Okay, I’m waiting here. I’ll finish it soon.”
My back hurt from the strange gaze, but I have to go to seduce Relin. It’s my first time flirting with girls, but I think it’s going pretty well.
“Relin, wait…”
“Wow~ Honey, look at the lipstick shade. It’s so pretty. Where is it from?”
Relin’s place has returned. Next to him was a slender beauty.
Shiny pink hair, emerald green eyes. A single smile reflects a bright presence even in a dark bar.
“It’s Estella. What’s your name?”
“Le, Relin…”
Estelle Hadassah El Ras. The first princess of this country and a saint of Protestantism.
“Can I buy you a drink?”
why is your sister here?
