189 – Blood Demon Maiev
Temporary measures meeting room in Fritz’s territory.
“I’ve finally had an hour left….”
Becky sighed in relief.
There were a lot of newspapers in front of the girl, and each one was about normalizing the magic department. In this way, the week-long gap was resolved quickly in many ways.
“I’m glad you’re back. “You were worried.”

“It’s a useless worry.”
“… “Isn’t it pointless to worry?”
Becky puffed out her cheeks and made a loud noise.
“From now on, please at least say something before you disappear.”
“Is that a necessary procedure?”
“I need it. “That’s a lot.”
I nodded roughly. Becky also turned her head as if she was finally satisfied.
“Okay. Now that’s out of the way, it would be great if we could just do something about Mertil.”
While listening to Becky’s muttering, I looked at the hardened fragments of Mertil.
Since the technology to dissolve Mertil did not seem to have been commercialized yet in this world, I began a detailed analysis, including breaking Mertil down into particles, to explain this.
“Hey, can you take a look at this?”
Trixie held something out to me.
“I tried various things with Mertil that had hardened for a week. “It summarizes the research results.”
I started skimming through it quickly.
“I did my best. Even if I failed to melt it.”
It didn’t seem like it was a lie to say that I did my best. What characteristics does Mertil have as a raw material, and what changes does it undergo as it hardens? The summary was so well written that you could clearly feel the sincerity.
‘Does this mean that access is possible to this extent?’
Considering Trixie’s capabilities, other wizards would have approached Mertil to this extent.
Then, it was not difficult to think about where I was stuck and what I should focus on teaching. A thought comes to mind like a light bulb turns on.
“Melding.”
Melting Mertil like melting ice.
In fact, ‘recovery’ is a rather difficult concept. This is because it is no different from rewinding the time of a specific object.
However, if you only focus on melting Mertil, if you leave aside casting liquid Mertil….
“Even if it takes a long time, the level of difficulty will be lower.”
The process will become more complicated, but the difficulty level will be lowered. Even those who find Mertil difficult will be able to access it more easily than now.
“Hmm? Why does it take so long? “What is easy?”
Trixie asked back.
“We will focus on melting, not restoration. “Break down the process and then postpone what’s not necessary.”
“Melding? “Is that possible?”
“That’s such a stupid question.”
Wouldn’t it be quite foolish to ask whether it is possible in the world of wizards? I was confident enough to make it happen.
I neither unfolded the paper nor lifted up the writing instrument with my mind. Maybe I could do this task easily in my head.
Suddenly—!
At that time, the door opened with a loud noise.
Familiar faces from the Faculty of Magic were standing there. First of all, it was Professor Violet and Sepia, the head of the editorial department.
No greetings were exchanged, such as saying it was nice to meet again. Perhaps due to the circumstances, Sepia got to the point without any hesitation.
“Plan, what are your plans from now on?”
It was a question I quite liked. I’m asking this because I realized that if I decide, there’s no way to stop it, and no matter what I force, it won’t work.
I answered calmly.
“First, I plan to melt Mertil.”
“Melding?”
“Okay. “That would be good if you want to clean it up quickly.”
This time, Violet next to me opened her mouth.
“Flan, I’m glad you were thinking about what to do with Mertil. “But there’s a bit of a problem.”
Violet continues speaking with concern.
“How long do you expect it to take? I checked the schedule and found that, ideally, the Faculty of Magic would have to clean up the damage within three days….”
“Three days.”
This is so different from my calculations.
“I don’t think it will take more than a day.”
“Hmm?”
Violet’s head tilts to an angle. Since I didn’t even have time to explain the situation in detail, I started by giving instructions.
“I am responsible for organizing the territory. “I want everyone to take care of the academy’s affairs.”
“Okay. “If it disturbs my concentration, I go back.”
But even though Violet said that, she did not back down. Rather, he cautiously extends one hand.
“Instead…. Can I see the magic that melts Mertil? “I really want to check it out even after I return to the academy.”
I quietly looked into her eyes.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand my heart. First of all, she was also a wizard. If there was a technology that could melt Mertil, I would want to see it right away.
“….”
But even though she knew everything, she couldn’t help but shake her head.
“That’s a bit troublesome.”
“Yes?”
I told the truth as it is.
“There is no record. “Mental calculations are enough.”
◈
Maiev wandered helplessly in the void. This place she visited again after regaining her freedom was both welcoming and not. Because there really was no change.
Maiev was sipping her tea in the drawing room, a space for executives, a very large mansion in the human world. Suddenly, two executives appeared and took a seat nearby.
Masked Blood Demon Dust and girl Blood Demon Lillie.
Neither of them had bright expressions. But it wasn’t dark either. If one were to read the energy lingering on his face, it seemed closer to doubt.
Maiev tried not to contact them, but she opened her mouth, pretending that Lillie knew.
“Hey. Maiev.”
“….”
Maiev just looked back at Lillie in silence. Lillie continued her words in a rough tone.
“You’re back? “This time, both arms are intact.”
“Yes.”
“Hmm.”
Since we were not on good terms, the greeting ended awkwardly. To begin with, Lillie was preoccupied with other concerns.
“You know Maiev, right? “Me and Dust went to Recheln Hill this time.”
“You know.”
There was no way I didn’t know. But even so, Maiev pretended not to know as much as she could.
“So, what do you mean? Maiev, I have a question for you.”
“What is it?”
Another insignificant question or argument. The moment Maiev thought so.
“You know flan, right?”
“Hmm? “I don’t know.”
I was embarrassed on the inside, but I controlled my expression so that it didn’t change. Maiev asked back calmly.
“Why is that suddenly happening?”
“No, because I am a person who does not understand common sense.”
“Ah.”
Maiev was relieved. Fortunately, Lillie didn’t ask about her concerns. Well, Flan is a person that cannot be understood normally.
“Lillie.”
At that time, Dusk called Lillie.
“So why did Flan save us? “I think she’ll be frustrated for the rest of her life if she doesn’t know this.”
“… ?”
Maiev, who was listening next to her, looked slightly dumbfounded.
I thought that the two blood demons had naturally returned on their own. But there was such a background…. Rather than being surprised by Flan’s abilities, Maiev was also curious as to why she was spared.
Lillie scratched her head in frustration.
“Do you understand it’s me? “I really don’t know this much.”
“There must be an ulterior motive….”
“There must be an ulterior motive. However, one benefit we have seen thanks to this is certain.”
Lillie’s eyes sparkled.
“Dust, if even one of you had died in the future, the princess would have replaced all of the executives. But thanks to surviving like this…. “That was avoided.”
Substitute.
The princess destroys all the executives and creates new ones. The reality was that even high-ranking executives always trembled at the mention of replacement.
“But I want to know.”
Dust adjusted his mask with a serious expression.
“From Flan’s perspective, there is no benefit to letting us go, so what on earth are they thinking…” .”
“Oh, I don’t know! If I meet you again, I will kill you. For now, you just think like that. “You don’t need anything else.”
Maiev only played with the teacup in her hand.
‘No way… ?’
I wonder if she is for the reason she thinks.
◈
Of course, there was Maiev’s residence in the void.
From noble mtl dot com
One fortress, one castle…. Maiev looked at her work in a magnificent building that would not be strange to describe it that way. This office of hers was also her own.
“….”
Suddenly, I looked at the amount of work piled up in my room. One month is just a guess. Perhaps, it was something that could only be accomplished by staying up all night.
“Officer.”
Maiev suddenly muttered her title.
She escaped slavery and returned to the position of an executive, but it was because she felt like she had become even more of a slave.
“Slave.”
If you think about it, even though she was called a slave when she was with Flan, she was almost never treated that way. Other than dealing with Flan, she didn’t have anything particularly difficult.
But she soon shook her head to shake off her thoughts.
It is clear that she has experienced so many strange things in the human world that her mind has gone crazy. This was her destiny, and she had a clear reason why she had to do it.
“Sister.”
The reason was that he called himself out loud. It was none other than her, her own little sister, who had come to her office.
“Sister. “Unnie.”
“….”
“Sister, sister, sister.”
“Why do you keep doing this?”
“Ugh, thank you for watching.”
Her pure voice made me think a lot for a moment.
The growth of blood demons and humans is different. Humans grow naturally over time, but blood demons only grow older when they reach the level of black magic.
As a result, Maiev’s younger sister, Maiev, was still only six years old. This is because she suffers from a rare disease that does not increase her vitality.
Maiev prevented her brother’s destruction. No, it would be more accurate to say that she had reservations.
She put her brother’s life on hold in exchange for information about the human world. She was a possible contract because there was no blood demon who roamed the human world as well as Maiev.
“What do you want to see?” “Go and sleep.”
“I’m alive because of my sister.”
Myvi continued her words with a sparkle in her eyes.
“I’m not feeling well, but her sister works so she’s alive. So, tell her sister to use a sipper.”
“Why are you hurting? Useless words….”
“I know everything too. “Don’t worry about what you don’t know.”
But at that time, Maiev’s face hardened.
Immense energy felt in an instant. When she came to her senses, her secretary was standing in the corner of the office.
When the secretary opens her mouth, a cold voice comes out.
“Maiev. “It’s the princess’s call.”
“….”
Maiev nodded her head quietly.
As she followed her secretary, she could feel her younger brother’s eyes on her back.
