13. hahahaha, the perfect crime!
Same time.
Sawamura Sento is in trouble again.
‘…… The atmosphere is heavy.’
When Shiki Ichimaru left, the living room where only the two of them were left was enveloped in silence.
No words came out as if it was a lie that the conversation went smoothly until just now.
If I could exist as a lump of pretense like at school, I would somehow lead the conversation at my own pace…….
With a quick glance, Sento glanced sideways at the woman in a yukata seated in front of him.
The head of the Shihei family, a master shaman, and the master of shamanism to Ichimaru Shiki.
Shihei Rin, she was still sitting calmly with a smile on her face.
Waiting with a very relaxed look, perhaps because it is her own territory.
She claimed to be her teacher from today, but there was no sign that she would lead the story first.
Sento Sawamura turned her gaze elsewhere and quickly thought of a subject.
No, I was trying to think of it.
Unlike when we first met, we can’t just look at her big breasts, and we need to talk about something, but the only thing that pops into my head right now is formal stuff.
‘I’ll see through everything anyway, but I don’t think wearing a mask is particularly meaningful.’
In that case, it would be better to put some sincerity into it.
Sento untied his brow, which had been frowned for a moment, before carefully speaking her words.
“…… Earlier, you said that you would be my teacher, so I dare to ask you.”
“Oh, take it easy.”
“Why did you become my teacher?”
At the sudden words, Shi Hei Lin opened her eyes wide and tilted her head.
“What, that way? I thought you were going to ask about Shiki.”
“I’m definitely curious about that too… Because the one in front of me right now is you, Master. For now, I just thought we should tell our story.”
Shihei tilted her head and looked at the girl in front of her eyes, and Sento spoke in one voice.
“…… So, why did you become my teacher? Is it because of Shiki’s request? If it’s a unilateral debt, I’ll pay it personally. If it’s simple cash, there’s quite a bit…… “
“Stop, stop! It’s true that you were introduced to me through Shiki, but isn’t that the only reason I made you a disciple? Also. I have absolutely no intention of getting paid in a teacher-teacher relationship.”
The shaman, the head of the family, shrugged his shoulders and continued talking as if he was enjoying the current situation.
“The Shihei family, I have something to return to Shiki. It’s true that he thought of meeting you because he told you about your pity.”
“… ….”
“However, making a disciple was my decision after facing you.”
“Why… ….”
“Hmmm, the reason is simple.”
Shaman Shihei Rin looked straight at Sawamura Sento with a smile on his face.
“You have more talent than anyone else.”
Sento opened her eyes wide.
“Don’t be afraid that everything will go wrong. You have all the conditions to become a shaman. Unhappiness comes from a very superior source, but if you get it under control, it will be a great blessing.”
“I’m not particularly afraid…… “
“My lack of attachment to human relationships and my reluctance to go into debt are probably the reasons for the unhappiness I have experienced.”
“… ….”
“I understand, but why don’t you work hard together with me when you got the opportunity after 10 or so years? I assure you, this is an opportunity that will not come again.”
The great sorcerer approached him before he knew it, smiled and demanded an answer, and Sawamura Sento looked at his huge chest and face alternately before answering reluctantly.
“…… Yes, I understand.”
“Okay, then let’s get to know each other before we start the actual class!”
“…… Yes?”
Sento asked back, but Shi Hei Lin quickly sat down next to her and held her hand.
“It’s their first time meeting each other, but they get to know each other while chatting! Like talking about Shiki.”
“…… You know more than I do.”
“No, Shiki is the kind of person who doesn’t cling to the mansion… …. I know you work a lot out there, but you’re the first one to bring someone home like this!”
At those words, Sento tilted her head.
“Am I the first?”
“Yes, this is the first time. He has a really sly personality, so I thought he would have a good friendship, but I can’t see it in person. I was excited, thinking, ‘Could Shiki-chan hitori botchi at school?'”
“…… Are you excited?”
“Oops, a slip of the tongue! Ha ha ha! Our Shiki-chan… It meant that Ichimaru-kun is fortunate to have many friends. Don’t get me wrong! Ho ho ho ho.”
“… ….”
There’s something cheerful about this guy.
She is obviously pretty and has a good figure, but for some reason, she resembles the slyness of Ichimaru Shiki.
Sawamura Sento felt something uneasy, but somehow she managed to turn away from her.
She twisted the subject of the story a little differently.
“That, Shiki…… No, Ichimaru said he learned magic from you.”
“Shiki also learned from me. For a moment, she was a very bright student.”
“Uh, what I said earlier is not my aptitude.”
“Did Shiki really do that?”
This time, Shi Hei Lin replied with her single-minded face, tilting her head.
“I probably said ‘taste’. I didn’t learn curses or elemental arts because I insisted on handling only swords, but I’m never lacking in talent. He’ll be the same, the number of spells he’s learned from me over the past few months is-“
“…… ?”
“One hundred and fifty-five thousand sixty-seven.”
Hey Lin, she said, covering her mouth even when she thought she was funny.
“Except for you, Shiki Ichimaru is the greatest genius I have ever seen.”

You can solve almost any enemy with your time stop ability and swordsmanship, but it is important to increase your ability to deal with various situations.
Before I realized it, if I got caught in something like magic, I might get hurt, so I learned all the relevant knowledge.
Among the things he learned that way, there were also spells of the sense and search type.
“It’s difficult, really.”
Tracking is really difficult.
After being possessed, if you step on it, you will step on it, but being stepped on is a really unfamiliar sensation.
As soon as I came out of the barrier, I stopped time and looked around with a smile.
‘For now, isn’t it right nearby?’
Then it seemed that the opponent’s level was lower than I thought.
Sensing nets were sprinkled little by little for each level, but even this can’t be broken.
Disappointed in my heart, I trudged back on the road I had just passed.
After walking hundreds of meters, avoiding the people on the roadside where the time of the world has stopped and hardened, I finally found it near the station.
A cluster of twinkling lights caught in the sensor net.
I mean the wizard’s creature that was originally hiding behind me.
The one-eyed, winged creature that was flying high was still frozen as time had stopped.
“Oh, is it just average? You did it with a light heart, so you didn’t concentrate, right? If I were sincere, I think I would be a bit disappointed…….”
I shook my head slowly, stepped on the air, jumped up, and grabbed the creature.
Then I met eyes with a big-eyed one-eyed bat, or rather, a weird looking guy.
With a smile, I sincerely advised the wizard who sent the tracking creature.
“hahahaha! It’s too weak now, so I hope you practice harder than before!”
… ….
“Well, that’s right. I stopped time. Oh my, I’m so busy these days that I’m out of my mind.”
Hiding my embarrassment with my own words, I faced the creature again with a sly smile.
I couldn’t convey the words because time stopped, but it wasn’t all bad.
Yes, for example, if you kill an opponent in a world where time has stopped, there is no time to feel the kaleidoscope.
I don’t even know who killed him.
That was still the case today.
Kwajik—!
I smirked and murmured as I shattered the creature at once with my grip.
“Ha ha, that is the perfect crime!”
I solved the world’s stopped time while feeling the feeling of becoming a criminal from a good petit bourgeois.
The street where everyone stopped equally starts to flow again.
It was the same with the reversal of magical power.
***
Kwajik!
“…… Ugh.”
The wizard closed his eyes tightly at the pain that came from the sudden destruction of the creature.
The people around me were even more surprised because it happened while I was going about my daily life as nothing happened.
“Eris-sama?! Are you all right?”
“Seo, where are you sick?!”
“…… Oh, it’s just that I got some dust in my eyes for a moment. Calm down everyone.”
Eris Betelgeuse, a wizard blessed by the stars, tried to calm the others with a laugh.
He spoke calmly as if nothing had really happened, so other people sat in their seats, believing that “Fortunately, nothing happened.”
The social gathering began again in peace and leisure, over tea and refreshments in the garden.
Eris, the blonde young lady, also seemed relaxed like the rest of the group, smiling shyly and having a conversation.
Of course, even at that moment, her head was spinning tensely.
‘…… The creature was discovered.’
The wizard recalled the magic circuit inside me.
What was destroyed this time was the covert creature attached to Shiki Ichimaru.
I made it to chase after it autonomously, but I didn’t expect it to be found out so soon…….
“Looks like there is something there.”
From noble mtl dot com
Among dozens of young ladies, Eris Betelgeuse, a high-ranking mage with a small mutter, soon made up her mind.
Ichimaru Shiki, a classmate who is making a name for himself in various ways in his class recently.
If it’s an ally, subdue it,
‘If it’s an enemy.’
Remove.
Eris made a decision.
