183 – 183 – Blooming iron heart is glass #2
183 – Blood iron heart is glass #2
said Nike.
“We are also going to visit the Wizard of Oz… !”Called.
His face was like that of a philosopher or experimenter who admired the discovery of a great secret.
“Wizard Oz said he would grant wishes… ! Maybe Viktor can fix something that’s dull like a piece of iron… !”
A magician who grants wishes.
Was there such a convenient guy in this world?
“I thought, but what a great idea!”
Nike praised himself.
However, Enioman was pessimistic about this situation with a cold feeling.
“Wizard Ozrani. Wasn’t that a children’s fairy tale? No matter how much Ludens is called, does such a thing actually exist?”
Enio didn’t seem to think that there would be a ‘wizard who grants wishes’.
Actually, Enio also said that he was a ‘wizard who handles shadow magic’.
Arnoy also seemed to be a bit incomprehensible to this situation.
“Why do you think there are no magicians who can grant wishes… ?”
yes, that’s right
Good question.
Of course, Enio briefly explained this.
“The magic of resentment that grants wishes is too broad and powerful. Archmage Merlin, who was said to be the most famous in Ludens, couldn’t do that either.”
“This Arnoy, I wanted to wish for a diploma, but it is regrettable… .”
It was Arnoi who was drooling.
However, as if Nike hadn’t given up yet, he shouted, “Oz really exists!”
“doesn’t exist.”
“No, it really is! Enio, you are wrong this time!”
“what? Am I wrong?”
A situation where Enio and Nike, who had a good relationship, are at odds for some reason.
I decided to listen to Nike’s story.
“Nike, I’m pretty sure there’s that wizard Oz. could you tell me what could be the reason? There must be a reason.”
“reason… .”
Nike looked around for a while and then shut his mouth.
When I wondered if there was a reason I couldn’t say something, I finally opened my eyes and said it as if I was confessing a shy dream.
“I just wish it was there. Because I believe so… .”
Then, as if Enio had waited, he laughed.
“Look at that. You can’t prove it.”
Enio is subtly realistic in a place like this.
“I can’t prove it, but it really is!”
“Because there is none.”
Enio and Nike again fell into a problem with no answer.
Seeing it reminded me of the past.
when I was in elementary school.
I’ve had this experience too.
“It’s like little children fighting over whether or not there is a Santa Claus. Of course there is no Santa.”
“hehehehe… !”
At my words, Arnoy trembled.
“Does Santa not exist…? ?”
“… … .”
“Come on, tell this Arnoi the truth… ! Arnoi, it feels like you just learned a great secret that you shouldn’t know… !”
Did Arnoi still believe in Santa?
I couldn’t help but express my regret.
“There is no Santa.”
“Then, who the hell was the one who placed the presents under Arnoi’s Christmas tree every year before Christmas? !? It’s getting confusing… !”
“that’s… .”
Before I could answer anything, Arnoi immediately trembled and said, “I have to tell the other nymph sisters about this amazing fact…” !” and ran away.
he’s still a weird guy
anyway.
The important thing now is this.
“There is Wizard Oz!”
“Because there is none! Do you really believe in such childish jokes?”
Nike and Enio quarreled more seriously than expected.
I had no choice but to put a stop between the two, thinking that maybe they would start a fight.
“Everyone, stop. I don’t know if there is or not. Just looking for it will suffice. It’s vacation anyway, so I have some free time to run the store.”
* * *
“This Arnoi, when you meet a wizard, he always asks for a diploma… !”
Arnoy giggled as he packed toothpaste, a toothbrush, honey candies I made for him a while ago, and a packed lunch.
“This Arnoy’s wish is to become a great president’s nymph after graduation… ! It is indeed a big dream… !”
His dream keeps growing.
From minister to president.
But that’s what the original wish was.
If you want to dream, you have to dream big.
– Ying-ying-ying.
Then a familiar cry was heard.
When I turned my head, a cloud was placed like a hat on the silver hair of a familiar girl.
It was Victoria.
“You guys are going to find the wizard Oz?”
Has the rumor already reached the student council?
I was about to wonder how this had happened, but Nike, who was very motivated, said, “I reported it!”
“Because you might end up in a dungeon and it might take a while, I thought it would be a good idea to report to the student council in advance… !”
Indeed, it is a story that makes sense.
Victoria said, “I’m not even a kid, I’m going to find a magician like that.”
Now I see that there is a rather large bag on his back.
I asked.
“What, do you want to go with me?”
“It might be an outside activity, so there shouldn’t be a supervisor. Since the engagement story broke out anyway, I had a lot of free time.”
is it.
Previously, if the student council was going to send a supervisor, secretary Shadi would have been better.
Shadi has excellent search skills.
Of course, I didn’t say anything like that.
… I guess I just shouldn’t.
“So Enio, what will you wish for when you meet a wizard? Are you going to ask for an increase in the total amount of your mana?”
Ho-ho-ho-laughing Victoria.
Soon, Enio frowned and said, “What are you saying? I’m just following along because of vacation homework, right?”
Vacation homework probably refers to ‘exploring a dungeon at least once during vacation’.
“So Viktor, since you’ve been listening lately, you’re curing a quirk?”
Victorica approached me before I knew it and grabbed my upper arm with her hand.
“Is it still hard?”
“That’s right, my hard body has nothing to do with my steel quirk.”
It is a body that has been trained in its own way.
The fortress is also being trained every day.
Thanks to that, my HP increased from 83 to 85.
At this level, even without doping with food, it can withstand the attacks of quite a few bosses.
“Then, everyone is leaving… !”
Arnoy, who had packed all his things, rushed outside.
Me, Nike, Enio and Victorica followed suit.
“So, Mokey Mokey, what wish do you wish for when you meet a wizard?”
Victoria talked to Nike.
Recently, Victoria and Nike have been very awkward, probably because it was unexpectedly revealed that Nike was in fact a princess of the Wildrose family.
In that sense, it was an act of courage for Victoria to speak first.
“secret!”
However, Nike was more blunt than expected.
No, it’s not blunt, is it playful?
“What is it, a secret?”
“Then, Miss Victoria, what wish do you want to make? Didn’t you say you would follow us because there was something?”
“me? What am I?”
It will be a noisy journey in many ways.
But before that, there must be something to be made clear.
“The time given to us is two days. If we don’t find it within two days, we’ll make sure to evacuate quickly, so everyone should keep an eye out.”
I let everyone know that I’m out of time.
No matter how much vacation it is, you can’t play every day.
With that feeling, our “Finding Wizard Quest” began.
Of course, there really isn’t such a quest, it’s just a name I gave it temporarily.
* * *
“Are you talking about the Wizard of Oz?”
The place we visited was Ludens Magic Society.
It is a place that wizard characters visit when they sharpen their skills.
For that reason, it is safe to say that all of them are related to the Magic Society if you want to be included in the list of jobs called ‘wizards’ in Ludens.
The old professor, who wore a cone-shaped hat and grew a white beard, seemed to be thinking for a while after hearing Nike’s question, then laughed.
“Wizard Ozra, you talk like children. However, this island of amusement is a place where children’s dreams and wishes come together. I want to go to the study of Hangryeol O over there.”
At the introduction of the old professor who was more friendly than we thought, we headed to O Hang-ryeol’s study.
The library of the Faculty of Magic, full of countless books, was like a huge labyrinth, and it took quite a bit of time simply to find the O column.
but.
There was something fidelity.
Looking for a book together at the library.
It feels like a group assignment.
Should I say it’s the feeling of filling in the empty space of ‘school days’ in my heart?
The book I found.
「Wizard of Oz Volume 1」
“three wishes”
“Fairy of the Lamp”
It was the “Nymph Human Rights Declaration.”
“Apart from other books, why did you find the Declaration of Human Rights for Nymphs?”
When I asked, Arnoi confidently shouted.
“I like the cover… !”
“I see. Then return it.”
“It’s a pity… .”
When Arnoi returns after returning useless books.
We sat down at the wide table in the Magic Faculty Library and opened our books.
It’s to find clues about the ‘Wizard of Oz’.
When many people put their heads together, it was relatively easy to find hints.
“Here, in the west of Ludens, there is a person who claims to have met a wizard who grants wishes.”
“Here, even in the first volume of The Wizard of Oz, there is a story about the west… !”
They usually point west.
So, is there no choice but to get out of the school grounds and head west?
It’s been a long time since I’ve left the campus and headed to the west field, so there’s tension in many ways.
However, since Enio, Nike, and Victoria were fairly reliable party members, it seemed that nothing special would happen.
Arnoy is… You just need to be healthy.
Thus, the western field arrived.
It was very nice to see that there was a fairly wide field and the flowers that bloomed in summer were blooming beautifully.
“Butterflies are flying… !”
Arnoi, a fairy nymph who is said to be close to nature, also liked it very much. He raised his hand in delight as he saw a butterfly fluttering towards us.
It seemed that he sensed something strange.
“By the way, why are butterflies so big… ?”
Flutter, flutter -.
A huge noise was heard from the beating of the butterfly’s wings, like a blanket being blown away by a strong wind.
The reason is simple.
Because this butterfly was so big.
As for how big it was, it was about the size of a fairly compact car.
“Butter Cutterfly: A giant insect monster. I like sweet things. Contrary to its beautiful appearance, it has a very ferocious personality and sucks the bodily fluids of living things with its sharp straw tube.”
“hehehehe… ! It’s about saving lives… !”
A huge butterfly snatched Arnoi’s bag.
Thanks to that, Arnoi, who is hanging from the bag, is also carried up into the sky.
“It’s about saving lives… !”
snug, snug.
Cutterfly jabbed the straw into Arnoi’s bag.
Its sharpness was as sharp as that of a fairly average rapier, so the bag was ripped open and Arnoi struggled——it wasn’t even a fuss.
If things go on like this, Arnoi might dry up like a mummy.
I said hastily.
“Victoria, you have to step in.”
“Anyway, it takes a lot of work from the start. Because of this, I can’t help but follow as a manager.”
Woo woo-.
The tip of Victoria’s wand glows.
Finally, the magic shot from the staff held high “Pierce it, the arrow of light!”
Fish shook.
The light that flew like an arrow tore the butterfly’s wings, and thanks to that, Arnoi was also separated from the falling cutter fly.
ㅡ Giyaaagh
It even screams a lot about butterflies.
“It looks awful.”
Anyone who has ever seen a butterfly up close will know.
Butterflies are really, really terrifying.
I finished the struggling cutter fly with my sword and looked at Arnoi.
Although the bag had been ripped open, there appeared to be no injuries.
“This, this guy… ! I stole Arnoi’s honey candy and ate it… ! It’s something I can’t tolerate… !”
Arnoi kicked the remnants of the cutter fly, apparently in a fit of rage.
