In a lecture with a magic court.

Leesha Reiseft was looking for her brother in the classroom.

(Niisama, you haven't come today)

I mumbled my fear for my brother's absence, exhaling in my heart.

The lecture I am taking is the same as the one my brother is taking. Nevertheless, his figure is nowhere in the classroom.

Yes, she's been resting in the Magic Courtyard for the last few days.

I don't know why...

If you think about it, there is a story of being attacked a little while ago. I ran into a suspicious person near the Mage Guild. Fortunately, I was relieved to hear that it was no big deal, but I also thought that by not showing up like this, something might have happened.

Let's go to the Mansion and see how it goes.

How can I steal my parents' eyes?

While I was worried about it, a voice came from behind me.

Hey!

"... what is it?"

What you hear from behind is the devil's voice.

This is a strange thing that we have encountered before in the caves of the Reiseft family's territory, where only the invisible and the voice can be heard. Since then, I have been possessed behind my back, and I also do things such as look at things obliquely, ridicule, and from time to time advise myself.

Although I call myself a demon, I don't feel the evil that such a presence emits, and I can feel the youthfulness of my voice, which seems to be like a youth, a boy, or even in the middle of it.

If anything, would an innocent boy be the best?

It seems that such a demon is aware of our intentions.

Are you worried about oniichan?

"... yes. Serious niisama is going to close the Magic Court like this." I thought something might have happened again. "

If you say that, it's like you're involved in a lot of things.

"That's not true..."

Isn't that the case?

"... I have it."

The demon laughs behind him as he returns it in a jerky manner.

Listening to the laughter, he mumbled, “I really can't,” as if to vomit poison.

...... after the lecture, in the hall.

Recently, there seemed to be more people becoming [inhabitants], and Miriam and Claudia and Mercuria, the national magicians, came to show their faces here.

Everyone seems to be using this "place" correctly, and Claudia goes here to relieve her daily fatigue, and Mercuria is also in the same situation, and she often sits in a corner of the desk and wanders around.

... sometimes I wonder if a majestic national magician can show such a figure to his students, but it seems that he needs to rest. Sometimes I get a look at my studies, so I really appreciate it around here.

Among them, I often talk to Miriam.

"No twisted ingredients"

I don't think it's Arkes' sister.

"Ducks and Huckleberries"

...... I'm very hard on that person, but I'm friendly with the others without spitting any poison. I'm not sure why you have such a harsh impression of only a good person.

In any case, there were three people in the stadium.

First of all, Luciel Alcan, a brunette with a blue mesh and a slightly sapphire-eyed boy. The youngest son of the Baron Alcan family, he became a civil nobleman, but because of his magical talent, he decided to enroll in the Magic Court.

I study magic architecture at the Magic Courtyard, and I am the most diligent student in the gathering area.

It seems that he is called a 'bang bang bang'. I'm not sure about that.

Next up is Charlotte Cremelia, a girl with milky hair. Recently, it has developed an adult atmosphere, and it has become a lady who takes the "Jacqueline" daughter at the window to the land.

She enjoys a disturbing conversation with Susia while drinking tea in the gathering area. Recently, there has been an increase in Claudia, so that when all three of them are together, most people will run away in the corner, but it seems that they will be satisfied when they do it once and for all, and then it will be so plain as if nothing happened. I'm still not sure about this either.

Finally, Milia Lambarto, a peachy-haired girl with a quirky hair ornament, said that she was about as tall or a little bit shorter than herself. There is a verse that looks at things obliquely with a half-eye that seems to sleep all the time. It's impressive to see the sky looking up often, frivolously frightening the extra sleeves.

It is said that he protected the place from the heat. Milia says, "Arkes forced me to bring her," but she's not honest, so she probably protected herself. I'm not sure why I'm being stubborn.

First of all, I called out to the person with whom I often talked.

“Mr. Luciel, I have a few questions for you.”

Risha, what's going on?

"No, niisama hasn't come today, so I was wondering if Luciel knew anything about it."

"Hmm. I don't know. I think you know Arkes better than I do."

"Ah, no, um... I have a lot of difficulties."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Luciel was delayed, and I think he thought about our family situation. I apologize for being so uncomfortable.

In turn, it was the longest-serving girl.

"Dear Charlotte,"

”Yeah... I sent you a letter of sympathy after you invited me, but it seems that I have some business I can't take off recently”

So it's not an injury, but a new spell, or maybe an object.

And the last time I heard a voice was from a girl I had recently become acquainted with.

Miriam-san...

"I don't know, Miriam. If we don't show our faces at the Magic Court in the first place, we won't have a chance to meet."

That's right.

"Damn, I can't believe you're worried about Risha." It's worse than a sloth. "

…………

At the same time, Milia gives him a bitter assessment of animals.

It seems that no one knows what he is doing.

In the midst of this, a person shows his face in the stall.

Ah, come back to life!

It was Susia Argusia who opened the door vigorously and slipped into the room.

Bathe in the cool air of the garden and smile.

This day, there is always no one to say the innocent thing, "Then I was dead", so it does not develop into a small argument.

Susia-sama, thank you for your patience.

Everyone stood up and each greeted Susia.

Meanwhile, Susia returned greetings to each one of them. This is how the "mew" part stands out, is she to be admired?

This is also a familiar sight. Susia also says, "You don't have to give a hard greeting," but it's the noble society that can't do that.

Susia walks up to me in a hurry.

"Huh? Risha, what's wrong with your face?"

"Yes... recently, niisama didn't show up at the Magic Court..."

"Have you been to the house?"

"That's still... if we can find the time, we can do something about it."

"Hmm. It's hard for Leasha to stand up for me, isn't it?"

When she talks like that, Susia gives a look that says she has come up with something good. Is that the face of a mage who made a great discovery? Or is it the face of a child who came up with a prank?

Looking at the expression strangely,

Risha, what's the rest of the lecture?

"The main thing is over... but there are about two more."

You don't have to take that, do you?

"Well... yes, that's true."

"That's why I'm taking you to Arkes' house now!"

Are you sure?

"Yeah! It's okay!" I'll take care of it! "

In other words, the Duke's power will be worn to his advantage.

Charlotte opens her mouth as the conversation comes together like that.

The expression looked like a clear wind somewhere.

Oh, Susia-sama? I have to attend the lecture properly.

"Don't worry, I've got all the lectures I need to leave." Or do you want to go too, Mr. Charlotte? Then why don't you come with me? "

"Ugh... I have a lecture I can't take off after this."

I can't go. Then I can't help it.

"Ugh, why was it after this..."

Charlotte gestures like, "Gruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."

Meanwhile, Susia turned toward Millia.

“What about Miriam? Do you want to come with me?"

"I'll stop with Miriam." Tell Arkes I'm making you feel at home. "

While saying that, Milia waved her hand at the table, like a cedar that often came out of her face.

The message is like a thank you to her.

Susia smiles.

"If Leesha asks you, you can't help but be absent. Fufufu"

…………

Susia's moody smile suddenly occurred to me.

Perhaps you've been used as an excuse for me.

"-Hahahahaha!! Phew, hahahaha!!"

A particularly excited laugh resounded in a mansion in the capital.

Nevertheless, it was a laugh as high as a mad scientist of madness could hear.

Of course, Arks Reiseft is the only one who does that.

"We did it! We did it!" I did it! I did it! "

Arks jumps into the Mansion's living room, yelling at him like that.

Noah, the butler, naturally complained openly about such unwelcome behavior.

"Dear Arks, please refrain from violent activities indoors." Even if it isn't, lately I tend to forget my taste as an aristocrat. "

"I'm never excited today." Is something wrong? ”

"Can you stay without excitement!" Finally! We've finally finished what we came for! ”

Yes, the parts just arrived from the workshop were put into the room and the device was finally completed. The question is, can you be happy with this? This was something that I was still holding back.

"I understand your pleasure, but you should really refrain from behaving like a mad wizard." People keep you at a distance. At the moment, I'm also wondering if I should take a little distance. "

"The head of the butler is lost. Like a relative of that mad scientist. Mudd was more scared of the Mage. The world is dying in one piece, isn't it? Don't let me join in such a noisy enclosure."

But, isn't that what Megas was like?

"Megas... I think so."

After talking to Kazuy like that, she calmed down a little, and Noah smiled calmly.

"Hello Arks, congratulations on completing the device."

"Thank you, and thanks to you all for your dedication and cooperation. Fufufu"

"If this is an opera, then the line that follows is," You're all done. "I'll let you die."

"For a moment, we are the pathetic people who helped us without knowing that we are the boss of evil. I'm sighing!"

"How bad do you want me to be..."

“I know you're already working hard and doing terrible things to a good butler.”

"If that's a bad thing, then all the aristocrats in the world are evil." You have a good rest, and you're working hard for that, right? "

I would be happy if you could show me your feelings with a stipend.

I could use a drink, right?

"I often say both."

Just throw up like that to the two of you who want to cheat on us.

Both of you will be enjoying yourselves and cooperating with us.

A guest came to the mansion to tell such a frivolous story.

Seo and Leasha appeared after being escorted by the servant.

"Ark Sue, I'm here to see your face."

"Brother, I'm sorry to bother you."

"You've come just in time." Whoa! Leasha's here, too! ”

Yes, yes.

All right, all right, all right.

Arks is in a good mood when they arrive.

Um, Arks.

"Niisama, what the hell is that supposed to be..."

“Well, wait a minute. First of all, it's my requirement."

They both seemed to have spoken something, but that's not the case right now.

Cut out the conversation while blocking their words.

We both have someplace to go, so let's go together first.

"It's urgent." Where are you going? "

"It's a vacant lot that has been used in recent experiments." So let's take a full look at the great invention of my century. "

When she uttered such words, Suu turned her gaze towards her, which seemed to be stinking.

"... uh, yes. 20th century invention. 20th century invention"

"Oh my God! You've already invented something like that!"

"That's true, though. It's kind of hard to say for yourself... right?"

"Ugh... look at that." Master Arx! Nice! Nice! I'll let you say it! "

“It's all right, brother, you're always nice.”

Ugh… Leasha is my only ally. Thank you.

I stroke my head with tears at Leesha, who praises me unconditionally.

Then Leesha gave a reassuring expression.

"Niisama, I'm glad you're doing well."

"I'm sorry if you were worried about me resting."

"No..."

"But don't worry, it's only for today!" I will be reborn from today! "

…………

When Risha shut up, for some reason he silently sent his gaze to the other three.

I don't know what kind of eye contact you have, but if you say the other three are such.

"... hey, isn't Arks today worse than before?"

"... please forgive me for not sleeping enough every day. If you get some sleep, it'll heal."

"...... Well, you can think of an unusual animal talking to you."

"... that's right."

The three of them are sneaking off to talk about something, but I ignore this because it's nothing to do. Leasha didn't seem to know what to do, but if she added it to the faction on the other side, it wouldn't be a bummer, so guard it up.

In any case, with those four, Arkes moves to the desired location.

It's an empty space that we've used in our experiments before. It is a land owned by the Mage Guild and is easy to use without crowds.

There were already two figures rushing in there.

Crave, who had contacted the device builder in advance, and Godwald, the mage guild leader.

Crave is in her usual uniform, and Godwald is wearing a jacket this day.

"Oh, you're here."

With two servants and a younger sister?

Suddenly, the guild leader, who had noticed Su Wu's figure on the wipe, was kneeling on the spot (first).

Then, with a terrible awe, he thanked Suu.

"This is the princess." In a good Hitachi style, I know how to worship your face and be proud of your joy. "

Godwald greets too hard or too old-fashioned. Although Suu is the daughter of the Duke's family, I wonder if someone with the power of the Guild Leader can be such a poor player - on the other hand, Suu shows a gentle smile on his face and accepts it as a normal thing.

"Guild Leader, thank you for all your hard work." If you're here, would you like to see Arkes's invention today? "

"Yes, as you said"

"Are there any problems?"

No, not at all.

Suu nodded quietly in response to Godwald's reply that there was nothing special about it.

Relaxed work feels refreshing. It's the work of the daughter of a perfectly good family. I can't help but notice that the cat's stuffed animal is fading over my head.

Then Crave called out to Godwald.

"Old man, don't you think it's not a good idea to be too explicit?"

That may be true, but you need a little more respect.

"That's why..."

And, something seems to be troubling each other. Rather, it seems that neither of them knows what to do. I don't use the core words, and I am doing some kind of consultation, but what is it?

After all, Suu spoke in the guise of a gentle lady.

"Guild Leader, this is fine." Besides, I have been very helpful to Lord Tetsuroden's loyalty. "

Yes. If the princess says so, then so be it.

"Please forgive me for my rudeness."

After all, Crave is behaving towards such a superior.

As with previous celebrations, I don't understand the meaning.

When I turned my gaze to Suu in a strange manner, my half-eyes returned as if to say, "What are you looking at?"

"...... Arks, what's with those eyes?"

"I really don't know." Well, considering the personality and position, it's not an impossible story. "

If you're a duke, it's no wonder the blood of the royal family is in it. Does that have anything to do with it? I thought the National Mage was too awe-inspiring.

"You don't have to understand Arkes. Come on, you're going to do something, right? Let's do it that way, shall we?"

Princess, I'd like some time before that.

Lord Molten Iron?

“I'm sorry, sir”

Thinking that Crave had interrupted the conversation, she was lifted like a doll and taken to the corner of the clearing.

Then, the two of them talked to each other in private.

(... the princess is fine, but is Leasha okay?)

(... yes. I thought it would be okay if you shut up. It is different from the time of the magic meter)

Crave's worries are more about Joshua than about Leasha.

That's true, but Risha would never leak it if she wanted to, and Risha would be willing to help us in the first place. The invention will not leak to Joshua.

Besides, I already had a workshop and a lot of shields behind me.

Even if it's in Joshua's ear, it's already out of his control.

(...... If anything happens, please contact me immediately. I'll make sure I can move as well)

(...... Thank you again for your patience)

(... fine, the problem is mine too)

When she came to a conclusion like that, Kazuy opened her mouth.

"Well, it's fine to reveal it, but is the previous one okay?" What if it's a terrible thing? "

"This is ridiculous. What are you talking about?"

Yeah, there were signs that monsters were about to appear during the experiment.

"Huh?!? Huh?! Arks, what is that!?"

"It's all right. Rest assured." I have some idea of how long it takes for that to happen, and the solution is tiny. "

"So, that's no good!" It's a monster!? "

I guess it was because the word "monster" popped up. Suu looks terribly impatient. I know she's worried, but I've already gotten an understanding on the matter, so I didn't have a problem.

I turned my gaze to the two people who gave me permission.

Yes, I already reported it to the two adults.

One of them, Crave, said.

"It will depend on the degree." After reading the report, I don't think there will be any problems. ”

It had already been discovered that the appearance of monsters could only occur with the use of scrolls (scrolls). There is no problem if I use it once or twice.

The other, Godwald.

"It's dangerous to have artificial monsters, but the guild has already started researching curses." Perhaps this invention will also contribute to that research. "

In this case, it was found that a curse (tincture) occurs when the device is used. Permission was granted because I might be able to figure out the mechanism by which monsters emerge when the concentration of the curse (Suso) reaches a certain level.

Then, Suu accepted with a smile.

"... well, if you two are good, that's fine..."

“It's okay, I've been thinking a lot about safety. Besides, that's why I have a guild leader and an uncle."

That's why there are two of them. With two national magicians, even if a monster appeared, it wouldn't be that important.

"Mr. Arkes, you're going to solve this by making an example, aren't you?"

"No, I've already solved it." This is the curse meter I made in a hurry. "

Arkes said that and took it out of his bag, which was as big as a portable tablet, with a meter.

When it comes to the servants who saw it, they stiffen up once and start hiding again.

"... hey, senpai, butler, what's going on?" What's going on? "

"... even if I ask you, I can't read your actions."

"There, keep your tongue to yourself. Your tongue to yourself."

"Hey, Arks, maybe not."

"Hmm. As the name suggests, this is a device that measures the amount of curses around us." Don't worry about the naming. To make it easier for everyone to understand. ”

Well, it's from the name.

We can observe that.

"And niisama's making something amazing again..."

Everyone seemed quite surprised by the existence of the Curse (Suso) Meter.

I don't want you to be surprised by this, but I guess I can't help it.

I don't mind you doing that.

"Hey, Arks. Uncle has a question for you?"

"Arks Reiseft, what is that? I haven't heard anything about your product at all?"

I noticed that the adults behind me were sword-swallowed.

She's holding her arms together and carrying behind her a flame of sunlight.

I was particularly scared of the guild leader's face.

I managed to hold my breath under too much pressure and arranged my excuses.

"Yes, it was made in a hurry!" How dare you say that the report has gone back and forth! ”

"That's why you didn't say a word." I couldn't help but be told that I was losing my mind as a guardian of the workshop. "

"I'm sorry, too! Guild Leader!"

"Well, maybe I was out of my mind." Be careful, damn it... "

After receiving a shocking whisper from the two of them, I regained my mind and moved on to explaining the curse (Suso) meter.

"Hmm. This is how the sound sounds when the magic power passes, but the darker the density of the surrounding curses, the louder the sound and the shaking of the needle." And when this needle touches the red part, the curse value limit -- I named it -- occurs, and the surrounding area is stained with scarlet color, and a foreshadowing phenomenon of a monster appears. "

When I explained it in such a way, Suu made a pronunciation that seemed to come with a pounding pronunciation.

"Arks, even though the magic meter maker hasn't announced yet, it would be troublesome if such a pompon were made"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No Why are you so troubled?"

"That's... I can't keep up with all the responses!"

Suu has a crushing political crush on things like "the exploitation of new lands" and "a good material to hold down Sapphire Burg's head in particular".

I didn't ask about the neighborhood.

"At the same time, I thought it might be better to announce it." I can handle it. It will, won't it? "

"There's no way you can do that."

Suu doesn't have a problem in the first place, right?

It has a lot of impact.

What kind?

"Oh, a lot of things! A lot of things!"

I've been going through a lot of things before, and I'm not sure what's going to be wrong with it at all.

Meanwhile, looking towards the elders, I saw Godwald looking at the sky with distant eyes.

"... I see. Let's do something I didn't see before."

Godwald old man, are you going to throw a round at His Majesty?

"I'm sure His Majesty will use it well." I don't know anymore. I only came to see what I made today. I don't want to think about more work. Even if it's not, there's a lot going on these days..... "

I put my hand on Crave's shoulder to tell the guild leader that I knew how she felt.

After all, there have been cases of suspicious people in the past, and I think there is more cumbersome work.

"Come on, Leasha."

“Yes, how do you use this?”

"Let the magic flow." Not a lot. Little by little, it's persistent. "

When I handed the curse meter to Risha, everyone peered into it.

When Risha sends out her magic power, the curse meter begins to emit a slight but noisy sound.

"The sound is ringing and the needle is moving. Is this red painted area a dangerous amount?"

"Hmm, that's right, Mr. Leesha. When I went to the red part, there were signs of a monster. And if it's true, then the monsters will appear after that."

After explaining how to use it to Risha, Godwald peeks in.

"How does this work?" It doesn't look like a magic meter? "

This is a mechanism that uses a curse (suso) as it is.

A curse?

I can't convey it by words alone, so I move on to the explanation while writing pictures and letters on the ground with sticks.

Yes, I learned that recently in the Magic Court, but the Curse (Suso) has a nature that makes it easy to pass magic power, right?

That's right.

"That's why we deliberately processed the inside of the glass tube to make it easy for curses (tin) to accumulate, and then deposited magic silver on both ends." In places where there are few curses, magic power propagates through the air, so the output does not increase until the sound is heard. However, the more curses (tin) enter, the easier it is to transmit magic power, so even with a small amount of magic power, the sound becomes louder... "

"... um, yeah. Sure is. Is that how you use the curse?"

Oh, I see. You think about it a lot, too.

"This also needs to be adjusted, but it has taken shape around the King's City and other places."

While Godwald and Crave were impressed, the Servants and Suu

"...... Mr. Arkes, honestly, I think this invention is better."

"I think so too." I mean, you know where these monsters come from, don't you? I could even take care of the curse in the city. Don't make such an incredible pompous thing with this kind of treatment. "

"Hey Arks, why does this kind of thing already exist in the practical stage?" What happened to the reports to all involved? This is negligence. I'm soaked! "

"You guys are a little noisy!" Today's eyeballs are over here! Over here! "

…………

…………

Suu and his servants let out a perfectly timed sigh. It's like you're talking to someone who doesn't understand. Absolutely disrespectful.

The adults are adults who have received a curse (Suso) meter from Risha to confirm their condition. The national magicians seem to be more interested in the goods they make than in complaining.

"If you ask me, it's true." I never thought of such an easy structure before..... "

"Most people think about things that change first, influenced by what they want to measure." The mindset is more flexible than ours. "

"What do you think of this?"

"Sapphireburg will want it first." Not only because of the current problems, but also because it will be possible to expand the territory of unexplored areas. "

"You may have a hard time."

I'm sure the Grand Duke will force me to do it.

I hear such conversations. I felt like I would be told to develop a device to remove the curse, but I decided not to think about it.

Suddenly, Suu asked like she remembered.

"Hey Arks, what did you make today in the first place?"

Ahhh...

--That said, I realized even more while not talking about it.
