Chapter 116
After receiving permission for the development of the forest and approval for remodeling the workshop, instead of keeping their mouths shut, they made a separate agreement.
“I have been ordered not to use the studio for the time being.”
Forbidden.
It’s not really my house, but I’ve become unable to enter the house.
“Well, since I keep being attacked like this, it probably means that I’d rather dive somewhere else until the evaluation is over.”
“… … .”
moment.
It seemed to have a slight chill.
A faint but low-lying energy unique to Magi.
Above all, the sincere anger contained in that demon.
“Ah, please don’t misunderstand. professor. This was my suggestion.”
“is that so?”
It’s because it’s not just a student’s grumpiness.
I am convinced with my knowledge of the game, and above all because this is a chronic disease of the imperial aristocratic society.
Since I am a commoner, let alone a street kid, I have no choice but to continue getting embroiled in such disputes for the time being.
‘Dealing with everything is a waste of time… … . It’s just dirty, so it’s better to ignore it.’
It’s not like I’m going to give in to malice.
‘I’m avoiding it because it’s dirty.’
It’s still too early to deal with the imperial aristocracy.
Well, just paying attention this year is enough. After that, they’ll be a burden to me too.
strategic retreat.
Not barefoot, of course. I received my own setback fee.
“I received extra money to stay elsewhere during the evaluation period.”
Quite a lot of that too.
It was enough money to hang out and eat at a luxurious inn in downtown Imperial City.
… … It probably means that the academy side also wants to avoid the escalation of the commotion.
“I just thought it was a not-so-bad suggestion, since you can either find a place to stay or use it as pocket money while staying somewhere else.”
“If it’s okay with Xian, the teacher won’t say anything more… … . for a moment?! Then where do you plan to stay?”
“Wherever you live, isn’t it better than the street in the slums?”
Even so, it seems that I have come to have quite bold thoughts in that direction.
The sense of the days when I was purely ‘Xian’, not who I am now, had an impact on my perception.
Really, no matter where you live, you have a sense that you’re doing better than when you were a kid.
“I really have no intention of being homeless.”
“I don’t think it would be difficult to take Xian with me during this period.”
“No, the professor’s dormitory is not allowed.”
Why is this person so anxious that he can’t take me with him?
maybe that’s it
Are you planning on catching it in advance and putting it on a leash so that it can contribute to future black magic classes?
is that it? Are you trying to make me a graduate student?
(Sian, from this older sister’s point of view, this kind of woman will be the scariest later on? Be careful.)
‘Emily, you shut up for now.’
(Whoops… did you give me some advice?)
… … won’t you listen
“You don’t have to worry, you can do anything. In fact, breaking into a friend’s house would be a way.”
Isn’t that a privilege of youth at this age? I’m a little excited To be honest, I’ve never had the experience of breaking into a friend’s house.
“… … friend? You mean Xian?”
“What if you tilt your head worriedly there?”
But when I thought about it, I realized that it was nonsense.
* * *
Elcia Leoleate had already been motionless for several tens of minutes with the theory book open.
“… … .”
I just blink my eyes occasionally. Sometimes, as if impatient, she just pretends to lightly tap the table with her fingertips.
Unlike usual, the contents of the textbook did not enter her head.
“… … Ugh.”
It was at that moment that I finally gave up and tried to cover the textbook.
“Elsia-sama.”
“Laylin.”
With faint footsteps that seemed to have been deliberately made, her attendant spoke.
As if she had waited, Elcia silently urged her, and Laylin lowered her head and began to report what her master had ordered her to do.
“As you said… … I checked the black magic boy’s residence.”
“You wouldn’t have noticed?”
“It’s after the commotion has already ended. The perpetrators have already passed, and there was nothing difficult about it.”
“so?”
“… … .”
At Elcia’s urging, Reirin shut her mouth as if hesitating for a moment about what to say.
“Don’t tell lies. Just tell me what you have confirmed.”
“… … Undoubtedly.”
Momentarily, a sound resounded as if the table was screaming.
Elcia had clenched her slender fist and hit the table with all her might.
It’s cracked, so I can’t use it anymore. Raylin didn’t bother to put that sentiment into her mouth.
“Really?”
“yes. After looking… … The commotion in the dark wizard boy’s residence appears to have been instigated by the Lyoleites. … … perhaps.”
“… … It must be your father.”
Instead of the attendant who couldn’t bear to speak, Elcia spat out as if grumbling.
“miss.”
“Why on earth father… … .”
When she heard about the commotion in Xi’an’s residence, Elcia was convinced in her heart.
Head of the Duke of Lyoleate.
A reference made by her father, the Duke of Lyoleate.
“It seems my father doesn’t trust me.”
“It is not. just… … .”
“Otherwise, why did the Lioleites use someone to attack a classmate they had nothing to do with?”
It’s a warning.
To that talented commoner warlock boy.
And the warning of the duke who saw through her condition, conscious of the boy’s skills.
“… … Do I have to go this far to stand at the peak?”
“… … This is the will of the Duke.”
“Laylin.”
“It will be a check in any way. Perhaps even the duke didn’t bother telling me to harm the boy.”
“It is a lie.”
Elcia saw through the attendant’s lies.
“I would have told you to be honest.”
“… … Looking at the traces, it seems that there was probably a murder intent.”
“… … Is it pride?”
Only one commoner is offended and commits an outrageous thing.
Elcia clicked her tongue in disgust.
“How long do we have to watch this?”
“… … Not now. If the young lady develops her skills even more and solidifies her position in the ducal family, the head of the household will too.”
“Are you condoning this?”
Xian is not the first.
When I first noticed the truth, I think I was upset and threw up.
But now all I can do is get annoyed.
“Or until you take it for granted?”
“That means… … .”
“… … no. Raylin. It wouldn’t be right to take out your anger on you. Or is it natural that I am also a member of the Lyoleate family?”
The attendant closed his mouth for once. No matter what you say now, it will be difficult to relieve the lady’s displeasure.
“Fortunately, the boy fought off the attack on his own. He probably wouldn’t even be able to compete with a minion like that.”
“Do you know me well?”
“A trace… … I guess based on that.”
“But even if I told you to be relieved after hearing that… … .”
“There was quite a bit of commotion there. Perhaps neither the head of the family nor the others will give the same instructions.”
“… … .”
If you really feel bad, you can apologize after the evaluation is over. Raylin advised that.
“Are you being selfish?”
“The boy didn’t seem to care too much. Well, it seems that staying in that forest has become difficult right now. There won’t be any problem with that much… … .”
“Wait, Raylin?”
“ah… … .”
Raylin only then realized her mistake.
“What do you mean? Xian now… … What is he doing?”
“It’s not to the extent that the lady will keep it in her heart.”
“… … say.”
It’s probably something you’ll pay attention to when you hear it.
That’s why he tried to keep his mouth shut.
“Even if you don’t say it anyway, if you ask the other guys, they’ll be able to hear it.”
“… … It seems that you are banned from entering the dark magic class workshop until the evaluation period, whether you are conscious of the incident or feel another threat.”
“Are you kicked out?”
“Until that… … .”
After the incident, Xian was called to the academy’s education department to talk, and it seems that the black magic class workshop has been closed for the time being.
In the process, there was no way Raylin could know what was going on.
From noble mtl dot com
That’s why Elsia thought according to her common sense.
There was no way the academy was unaware of the tyranny of the aristocrats. But even if there was a commotion, I wouldn’t condemn them easily.
then?
“… … Would you rather raise it somewhere else?”
A guess leaked out in a small, cold voice.
It was different from the truth, but there was no one who could correct that misunderstanding here and now.
“Uhhhhh… … .”
With her mouth shut as if troubled, Elcia was lost in thought while making a grunting noise.
At least the other students and professors at the academy couldn’t imagine.
However, Reirin, the attendant who had been watching her all along, rolled her eyes in embarrassment.
It’s what you expected to say.
Surprisingly, the lady she serves is a soft human being.
Unbecoming a member of the Lyoleate duchy.
so… … .
“Raylin, let me do one more thing.”
“… … I would like to refuse.”
“It is not very difficult.”
No, that would be difficult. The servant only thought to himself.
“I just need to pick up one of them from the street.”
“no… … . It would be embarrassing if you said it as if you were to pick up a dog or cat.”
A dog or cat would be better.
“Can you?”
Enduring the daring to almost involuntarily shake her head, Reirin stepped back to listen to the insistence.
after a few hours.
“I picked it up as instructed.”
“Pick it up! What dog am I?! Before that, this was just a kidnapping?”
Raylin, as instructed, properly secured the cyan and brought it.
… … Be it what it is.
Sighing inwardly, she roughly set the warlock boy she had secured onto the floor.
* * *
I was wary of the moment when Elcia Lioleate’s attendant suddenly picked me up and carried me off the street like a dog.
In case of emergency, there was no possibility that she would try to deal with me on the orders of the Liolet family.
If given such an order, she would carry it out without hesitation.
What soon convinced me that wasn’t the case was a faintly audible long sigh.
‘ah… … . That lady did something stupid.’
A conclusion that can be discerned because you are well aware of the character of senior Elsia, who is trying hard to hide it.
I immediately gave up my resistance and, for the time being, I moved obediently while being caught by Raylin.
To the mansion where Elcia Lyoleate is staying.
“Is it fashionable to snatch the scruff of the neck and invite people these days? I don’t know how nobles think.”
“hahahaha, can that be? Unfortunately, it’s not that pleasant.”
“… … I guess so.”
Elcia responded to my joke with a similarly pleasant stance.
“I apologize for inviting you so suddenly.”
“There is no need to apologize again. However, if there is a business, I want you to tell me right away. For now, I want to find a place to stay before sunset.”
“No, there is no need for that.”
“… … uh?”
Perhaps Elcia knows about my situation now. You can tell just by talking casually, without asking the slightest question.
So be sure.
Maybe this guy is going to say something incredibly stupid.
“I heard it was difficult.”
“No, not really?”
“It must be difficult to lose your place at this time.”
“Hey? miss? are you listening to me? And you’re not really homeless?”
I’m evacuating anyway.
However, as if my words could not be heard by this lady, Elcia smiled truly calmly.
“Ignoring a classmate in trouble is against my creed.”
“So you say it’s not difficult?!”
it was wrong don’t listen
“draft! Stay here until your problem is solved!”
“… … Hey, Mr. Chamberlain? Is your lady strange?”
“… … be quiet And please forget. My head hurts too.”
The attendant gave up.
Well, it’s not like I don’t understand Elcia’s personality at all.
i can’t dry it
‘Looking at it, it looks like it’s been around quite a bit.’
The motive is also easy to guess.
Perhaps then the intruders also had Liolet… … . To be precise, someone other than Elcia must have sent it.
‘And knowing that, I couldn’t care about it, so the accident ran rampant… … .’
Elcia’s personality is surprisingly soft.
If you see a dog or cat abandoned on the street, you can’t just pass by and eventually pick it up and be in trouble.
No, but I’m not a dog or a cat.
(Shouldn’t cyan be good? A lady like that picks it up on the road.)
‘Don’t be kidding. Emily.’
