106 – Pursuing Resentment-3
After erasing all of her trash, Yuna Yurensto became Lord of the Purple Magic Tower.
She could have dismantled the Purple Magic Tower, or left it to someone else and run away. The reason she thought she should have this place where only painful memories remained.
Simply because there was nowhere to go.
The ringleaders fled or died. The only people who survived the Purple Magic Tower were those who did not participate in the ritual. To them, Yuna was a monster who suddenly killed her seniors and teachers and took the place of the magic tower lord.
So once again many people left the magic tower, and only a few remained.
The Purple Magic Tower was empty, and the remaining wizards remained silent even when they made eye contact with Yuna, and there was no conversation between them.
It’s not that I didn’t plan on getting along well. Yuna Jurensto tried to talk her out of it. But it didn’t work out for her. No one noticed that she was just a young female.
She opens her eyes, until she closes them.
She cooks and eats meals alone, envies wizards talking to each other, has nightmares about that day, and falls asleep alone in a large room.
So.
She thought that kind of life would repeat itself until she died.
“Lord of the Magic Tower, are you telling me to twist the magical power like this?”
“So, like this, like this… Like this. Do it like this. Ugh, uh. Sorry for not explaining it well…”
“What else… Give me your hand. I’ll cast a magic spell on your palm, so your stuttering will get better.”
Because a strange person came into the magic tower.
“Get away from me! I don’t trust men. “I have no discipline and follow someone who just shakes their butt!”
“Then shouldn’t I just fall in love with 2D?”
“?”
He wandered around the magic tower as he was pleased.
“You told the magic tower lord that you were crazy…!”
“When I met the Magic Tower Lord, I thought he was just cute. And this is bullying within the company. Bullying, how can a person act so desolately? Magic Tower Lord! Shall we have a company dinner?”
“Eh, uh, huh? Dinner… “Company dinner?”
It seemed like I was caught up in it for a moment, but it completely changed the atmosphere of the Magic Tower.
He served as a bridge between Yuna and the Jatap wizards. When I came to my senses, the tower where the chilly snowstorm had hit was nowhere to be found. In fact, it has become a more friendly place than other magic towers.
The reason I was greedy for research funds was because I wanted honey, but…!
One day Juna Jurensto asked him: He said he wasn’t scared. And, what was the reason for doing this?
He said
“Because it’s pretty…?”
“Ugh.”
“It’s half a joke, and I know how you feel. I was a lonely when I was young… I helped him because I often saw his expression through the mirror. It was a shame that he didn’t have any friends because of his good personality.”
“….”
“You can live with more confidence. “The Magic Tower Lord is cute and a good person.”
Maybe it was from then on. I began to be conscious of him.
I felt a strange feeling.

The 2nd Prince created a little commotion and lured the Knights Templar. As a similar accident happened nearby, it appears that they were dispatched without leaving any spare personnel behind.
I and the Mage Tower crossed the Crown Hall, aiming for the gap.
After discovering something suspicious in the warlock’s mind, the magic tower’s expression was gloomy. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I was worried. I was wondering what would happen if Yuna’s face got cut in half due to stress.
A simple wish arose to quickly destroy whatever came out and make people smile again.
And we arrived in front of the Knights Templar headquarters building. If we move forward three blocks from here, we reach the mansion in question. Just as I was about to take a quick step, the Magic Top Lord tugged on the end of my sleeve .
She said, pulling down the brim of her conical hat.
“…Why are you following me? “This isn’t your job….”
“What if you dig into the ground because you’re depressed? You even say things like that in a sad way… “What kind of relationship are we in, so we divide your work and mine and things like that?”
I lowered my posture and lightly pinched Yuna’s cheek.
“Because I wanted to do that. The Magic Tower Lord wanted to do that too, so he helped me, right? It’s not a matter of giving and receiving… It’s because we like each other. Isn’t it because we want to do something that we move, that’s what being friends is.”
“….”
I couldn’t see her face because it was covered by the brim of her hat her, but I did see that Yuna’s ears her her she were slightly red. She purred her mouth for a moment and then spoke to me.
“As expected, let’s just go back.”
“…Wasn’t it important?”
“It’s important, too.”
Yuna spoke about the reasons for her judgment.
“This was a trauma for me, but I thought and judged it properly. It is dangerous to add a sublimation-level powerhouse to the warlock side. They can use magical power to an infinite extent as long as they have the souls of others. ..”
Issues of representation and revenge.
“I’m sorry to the 2nd prince, but for me, the Purple Magic Tower comes first. It’s good to maintain a good relationship with the 2nd prince, but ascending to the throne is not yet certain. Detecting traits may be more important. It is a political burden for the 2nd prince. Even if I had to pass it on…”
A question of priorities.
“And, the 2nd Prince made it sound like something terrible would happen if it was discovered that I had arbitrarily risen up. It’s really not something that can’t be handled. Even if you are suspected of treason, you can put restrictions in front of the Emperor. Because the Emperor has a leash… “
Problem of risk resolution.
Yuna explained the reasons why she had to enter her mansion. Then, she hesitated and she looked up at me.
“But, there’s just one thing that bothers me.”
“…What is it?”
“I think you’re in danger.”
Yuna’s trembling eyes became clearer.
“If we go together, it will be dangerous. But if I go alone… It might be a loss for you. Don’t you want to fall out with the second prince?”
“No, I…”
“If you become distant from the second prince… Your hobbies will also diminish. Yes. You went to the academy because he recommended it to you. You had a lot of fun at the academy. You will also become distant from your friend “Yuri…”
“I, I mean.”
Yuna came holding my hand. Even though his hands were smaller than mine, the force used was as light as cotton. It felt like there was a strange power that I couldn’t quite shake off.
“I’ve thought about it.”
“….”
“I think you are more important than my resentment or hatred.”
For a moment, my breathing stopped.
I was embarrassed. This is because my heart suddenly started beating violently and my face became very hot. I urgently cast a spell to suppress my libido, but the mysterious heart pumping did not go away.
Excited, Excited. I think the reason my heart is pounding as if it’s going to explode is because of s*xual desire.
What should I do? What am I supposed to say? I do not know. I was really panicking on the inside, but I prayed that my embarrassment wouldn’t show on my face.
But Yuna seemed to know clearly what she had to say. “Go back, let’s date…!!”
“….”
I relaxed my shoulders and nodded.
“…I guess so.”
She gave up her chance for revenge. Not for any other reason, but for me. If you say that she laid down her deep resentment for me, to the point where she couldn’t control her emotions even in front of the 2nd Prince.
As I thought about that fact, my heart, which was already pounding as if it was going to burst, screamed. Calm down, calm down. That’s an ambiguous statement, isn’t it? Don’t make a fuss…
If you accept it as a confession but find it to be not true, how on earth are you going to deal with it?
I took deep breaths and tried to calm down. Actually, I couldn’t calm down at all, but I felt like I had to at least pretend to be able to get my head around it.
First of all… Shall we plan a date course?
Even if he had given up, he would have been very upset, so it would have been right to give him at least that much fun time as a gift. First, I need to research all the restaurants.
I held Yuna’s hand and turned around. Anything red or a warlock won’t go. Rather, it went well. Didn’t you still feel uncomfortable? Those must have been sour grapes. Anyway, it must have been a trap.
Her hands are sweaty. I’m really worried.
Even when I was dating my girlfriend in my past life, this never happened. Did I develop hyperhidrosis after changing my body? It’s not…
“You want to go back?”
Stand tall. The movement stopped.
“Well, you came here because of work, right~? Still, I’m sad because I’m planning to go back first. “I’ve been waiting for you since a while ago, purple magic tower lord.”
“….”
The force pressing down on my entire body was restraining my body. It feels like I fell naked into the deep sea. I couldn’t even turn my head.
“If I go back without doing anything… Ah, that’s troublesome.”
“…I won’t cause anything to happen here. “I don’t know who you are, but go back.”
“Uhm~ In that case, the plan to attack the crime scene and use that as an excuse to fight is scrapped. “We have no choice but to use the next plan!”
“…I told you to go back!”
Wow!
A fierce engine noise was heard.
“Now, I’m going to push you away with this fist, magic tower lord. If you resist or start a fight here, both of you will be in trouble, right? Handsome Guy next to you might get caught up in it. ”
“….”
“Let’s fight privately, far away, outside the city.”
“…Hey, don’t worry. I’ll be back soon, just go back to the inn. Okay?”
Yuna said that to me and raised her magic power.
────!!
And, it seems like there was an attack and defense that her eyes couldn’t follow. At the place where the explosion and flash had occurred, only a crater with a radius of 50 meters remained.
A line across the sky appeared briefly and then disappeared.
“…Huh.”
She opened her eyes and her date she was taken away.
Was it the head of the Metropolitan Knights who started an argument out of nowhere? There was a reason why the 2nd prince repeatedly warned him. I didn’t know you would start a fight like this.
“Ugh.”
I let out a sigh and prepared to return to the inn.
There is nothing I can do in this situation. Isn’t this a fight between sublimated superhumans? I, who couldn’t even write a fable, couldn’t come up with an angle to intervene and explain.
It’s dirty and sad, so I end up making a fable.
I walked back through the empty streets. The attention of the Capital Knights was directed elsewhere by the 2nd Prince, and the Purple Magic Tower lord also left due to the leader of the Capital Knights.
Maybe that’s why this area was so quiet that even if a single person disappeared, you wouldn’t even notice it.
To a strange degree.
“….”
Have you fallen into a trap?I was feeling an uncomfortable feeling. A feeling of being guided by something. A movement line that looks like it was drawn in a picture. Clues to Yuna’s past are thrown around to the point of being suspicious.
However, I thought that even if Yuna was targeted, she would be okay if I supported her.
If she wasn’t Yuna from the beginning, she was targeting me.
“Did you notice something strange? You have a good sense, lowlife.”
“….”
Again. Again. The sound of shoe heels.
Thin voice. A guy who looked like a weasel appeared. He was dressed in a tailcoat, his rapier tied to his belt. No other people were visible. Is it alone?
“Remember my name, lowborn. I am Roderus, the second son of the Duke of Redburn.”
“I didn’t expect you to introduce yourself. You’re confessing that it was Redburn who set this up.”
“I’ll forgive your ignorance. Let me tell you. Speaking to a corpse is not a confession… ”
The guy pulled out his rapier and charged.
