105 – Mage Tower Lord Chaney
Liliana Edwin, member of the White Mage Tower.
She remained alone today, working hard to organize her documents.
All of the senior wizards in the same class had already left.
“This is this way…”
It’s a simple task to just check each document and classify them by purpose.
Originally, each student would classify and submit the documents he or she wrote, but this was not the case in Liliana’s class.
Just pile it up and leave it all to Liliana.
Liliana also knew. This was some kind of territoriality.
On behalf of the lord of the magic tower for certain reasons, I am Elise Allion, who can be said to be the representative of the White Magic Tower.
In her eyes, she is territorial towards the newcomer who is being treated preferentially as her previous student.
They are probably now enjoying themselves by taking part in a banquet secretly hosted by several classes, after leaving all the troublesome work to Liliana.
“Whoa…”
How long has it been?
Just as I was about to finish sorting the documents, I heard a knock on the door.
“Yes, please come in.”
The person who opened the door and came in at Liliana’s words was a wizard, a member of the Magic Tower.
He was probably wearing a thick robe with a hood, so he was probably a security wizard working outside.
“Excuse me. Are you alone?”
“Okay, what’s going on?”
“No, actually, I’m looking for wizards of lieutenant rank or higher who can guide guests… But I can’t find them anywhere.”
Liliana nodded her head in understanding at the guard mage’s words.
Right now, most of the wizards at the Magic Tower were probably away because of the banquet.
High-ranking wizards like Elise were away to attend a meeting led by the Five Magic Towers.
Well, maybe that’s why senior wizards can secretly hold banquets.
“Where should I direct you?”
The guard wizard spoke casually in response to Liliana’s words.
“This is to the Lord of the Magic Tower.”
“The magic tower lord?”
In that case, it is natural that a mid- to high-ranking wizard is needed.
You have to be of that level to know information about the Magic Tower lord and her room.
Liliana just found out a little earlier thanks to her teacher.
“In that case… I can guide you. I’ll go.”
“You mean that? …Yes, then I understand.”
It was worth considering looking for more, but the guard wizard easily accepted Liliana’s offer.
You probably already ended up here after looking for several places.
Liliana paused her finishing work and stood up to put on her robes.
This is a low-ranking wizard’s robe with the symbol of a magic tower embroidered on a white background.
Liliana puts it on and walks along with the guard wizard ahead.
She suddenly became curious and asked a question to the guard wizard who was ahead of her.
“What kind of person is the guest?”
“What kind of person are you?”
“Well… If you are a very high-ranking person, you have to pay attention to etiquette accordingly.”
If you are an ordinary customer, you just have to behave normally.
However, the situation is different if you are a wealthy person investing in a magic tower, a high-ranking official of another magic tower, or a royal family or nobleman somewhere.
If you don’t really pay attention to your every action and every word, there is a high possibility that mistakes will occur.
“This is a young noble couple. They came with a child and a group of people who appeared to be vassals.”
“Really?”
Aristocratic couple.
Why did such people come looking for the magic tower lord?
This is a fact that Liliana also learned after meeting the magic tower lord, but the magic tower lord of the White Magic Tower was a special person.
Chaney the witch, one of the five heroes who defeated the Demon King in the past.
She is none other than a kind of ghost whose thoughts are composed of powerful magical powers.
What is the reason why a single noble would deliberately appoint such a magic tower owner?
As Liliana was thinking such things, she eventually reached the entrance where the entrance to the magic tower was located.
“The customers are over there.”
Those words brought Liliana out of her thoughts and she turned her gaze to the people beyond the open door across the entrance.
“…Huh?”
Liliana’s mouth opened wide.
She saw a very familiar, black-haired boy.
And now, Liliana was heading to the Mage Tower’s room wearing her mask.
‘I’m glad I have a mask.’
A mask received when becoming a member of the Magic Tower.
Well, it doesn’t have any special power, it’s just used to cover the face.
Used to cover one’s face to conceal one’s identity as a woman and to avoid unnecessary controversy.
Well, since she is a member of the White Magic Tower, it has already been revealed that she is a woman, but there are many people who don’t know about the White Magic Tower, and just covering her face actually reduces the number of fights, so it was effective.
The moment she saw her ex-fiancé, Kyou, she was shocked without realizing it and put on her mask.
The guard wizard who was guiding her looked at her with strange eyes, but she didn’t say anything.
There is no choice.
It may be possible to reunite as a proud wizard of the Magic Tower, but her heart is not ready to reunite again now.
In addition, Riel Ignis, who had heard the news that she was engaged, was also there.
Her exclusive maid, Phyllis, the elf who had come before, Ms. Leelu, and for some reason even the baby were with her.
What kind of face should you face in such a situation?
There was no need to think about the atmosphere becoming completely awkward.
“Aww…”
I heard the cute voice of the baby I was with yawning.
Since she is still a young baby, it is natural that she is very sleepy.
Thinking like that, Liliana was rushing down the road.
“Sir looks a little sleepy. Would you like Kyou to give him a hug?”
“Huh? Is it okay for me to hug you?”
“Yes. There are times when you feel comfortable in your father’s arms.”
A conversation between Kyou and Riel.
After hearing the conversation, Liliana stopped in her tracks.
Dad?!
When she confirmed that it was Kyou and Riel, she thought it couldn’t have been the timing yet, so she thought it was going to be a relative baby or something.
Dad?
Teacher, isn’t the progress too fast?
Underneath the mask, Liliana was slightly panicked.
After he froze for a moment, Kyou, who was holding the baby, lowered his head and said as if he was sorry.
“Oh, sorry.”
…They probably misunderstood that they were waiting for them.
Well, it seemed like Phyllis and Lilloo were trying to wait, and Liliana, who felt lucky if she could get over it, shook her head to indicate that it was okay and turned around.
Although she was acting normal, Liliana still felt her heart pounding.
Although she felt a bit of déjà vu from the masked wizard, she thought it was no big deal and brushed it off.
For a brief moment, she thought of Liliana leaving for the Magic Tower, but she didn’t think her chances were high.
That wizard was wearing the robes of a low-ranking member of the Magic Tower, and it usually takes at least three years for a wizard to become a low-ranking member of the Magic Tower.
Until then, it was normal to train hard at the Magic Tower training center almost every day.
As I was walking with that thought in mind, a masked wizard stopped in front of a door.
“……”
She opened her door without a word and stepped inside, leading her into a bare room.
“Where is…?”
As Riel shed her doubts, the masked wizard headed towards one wall of the room.
Hanging on the wall is a picture of a brave wolf.
The masked wizard places his finger on the left hand of the wolf in the picture and presses it firmly.
“Awww!!”
Then, the wolf in the picture howled loudly.
“Wow?!”
Riel let out her exclamation.
As soon as the wolf howled loudly, the scenery in the room changed drastically.
The room that had only a few pictures hanging on the wall quickly turned into an office full of luxurious items.
“Huh? You are a guest?”
Before I could calm my surprise at the sudden change in the room, I heard a woman’s voice.
That too, right above where you can’t hear it.
“Eh?!”
Riel expressed surprise, wondering if he also saw what I saw.
Honestly, I was surprised too. I just can’t express it well.
A black robe with a long hem.
And a hat big enough to probably hide your entire head.
And the one wearing it is a beauty with black hair.
Up to that point, you might have thought it was just a wizard floating in the sky, but that wasn’t the case.
She was translucent. Like a ghost.
“Hello~ I’m Chainy, the lord of this magic tower.”
And I was even more surprised.
Her face, if we were to be specific, was a bit foreign to say she was from the kingdom or from the empire.
Yeah…Like…
“Che… Speaking of Che, perhaps…”
“Yes, if you are from the Kingdom of Palazinia, have you read at least some of my stories? I am that Chainy.”
And she called herself Cheyney.
Five heroes who completely destroyed the Demon King and established a peaceful era 400 years ago.
The world becomes peaceful, the fighters and knights who founded the kingdom, and the saintess who decided to do her best to protect the World Tree.
And unlike them, the warriors and witches disappeared quietly.
Among them, the witch Chaney was the lord of the White Magic Tower.
“Is…Is he a ghost?”
“Huh? Ghost… It’s similar, right? If I had to ask, does Ji Bakryeong… Work?”
“Jibak…What?”
“Oh, it doesn’t work…? Well… Anyway, think of it as a spirit body bound to this magic tower.”
In response to Riel’s question, she smiled playfully and waved her hand.
“Um…So…You there.”
“Ah…Yes!”
Chaney, the magic tower owner, suddenly points out to me.
When I looked at her in surprise at her nomination, she looked at me and said.
“You have the envelope, right?”
“Ah, yes!”
As expected, there is something in that envelope.
Thinking like that, I took out an envelope from my pocket and held it out.
When I took out the envelope, it floated in the air on its own and flew into the hands of Cheney, the magic tower owner.
“Hmm, I said I felt a familiar magical energy, and it was like that.”
Magic Tower Lord Cheyni snapped her fingers, and the envelope automatically opened, and her magical power gushed out from there.
The magical power that spewed out spread throughout the room, and soon the envelope with all the magical energy in it fell to the floor.

“Okay, I checked. So…You are a child of the Wentos family?”
“Ah…Yes. This is Kyou Wentoth, the eldest son of Count Wentos.”
“Count? You’ve already become a count…”
Chaini, the magic tower lord, suddenly approached me from the air and looked straight at my face.
I felt a little embarrassed because we happened to be facing each other.
“Hmm… It definitely looks a bit similar.”
“They all look alike?”
“Yes, to the child I gave this envelope to.”
Chaney, the magic tower, pointing to the envelope that fell on the floor.
“I still remember it vividly. It was definitely called Cecilia…?”
Cecilia.
Cecilia Wentos is definitely a name that appears as you go up in our family tree.
The first female head of the Wentos family, and a person who also participated in the war against the Demon King.
Are they that similar?
“Yes, the fact that you brought this envelope… You must have a lot to talk about.”
Master Chaney snapped her fingers, and the tables and chairs that had been standing against the wall were aligned in the center of the room.
“Shall we sit down and talk? Old friends are also there.”
Master Chaney looked at Mr. Leelu and smiled brightly.
