Everyone left the meeting place, so I was alone.

It’s 3 o’clock now.

Hmm, maybe I’ll take a bath.

I can’t get my thoughts together, so let’s go outside the meeting place for the time being.

I lock up and go outside.

Spring in the royal capital is warm and pleasant.

As if throwing away the long winter, the people of the capital rejoice in spring.

There is a lot of greenery in the school.

In particular, the northwest side is densely forested.

There’s a path in the forest so you can take a walk.

I walk through the forest while inhaling the smells of nature to my heart’s content.

Since it’s in the royal capital, there are no monsters, but there are squirrels and rabbits, and they run away when they see me.

Yaa, it’s nice to have a walk in the woods.

A gust of wind blows, and the forest is noisy.

There were ruins in the depths of the forest.

I wonder what is this thing?

Let’s go investigate for a moment

As I get closer, it looks like the remains of a church.

“It’s the ruins of the school’s chapel,” Dulcie said as she appeared.

“Why would it be in ruins here?” I asked.

“It’s probably because no one took care of it,” Dulcie said.

How punishing.

There was no budget for the chapel in the school.

How long has it been here quietly?

The stones are covered with moss.

Maybe it has a longer history than the academy.

Let’s ask Anthony-sensei next time.

When I enter the abandoned chapel, it smells like moss.

In the back, there is a statue of the goddess in front of the decayed stained glass.

It’s covered with moss.

It’s quaint, but not too much.

I’d like to clean it up, but it’s a pretty big statue, so I don’t have the tools.

Maybe next time I’ll bring Elmer and have him blast it with water.

I kneel and put my hands together in prayer.

— Well, I’ll do something about it later, so please be patient for now.

Gogogogogogogo.

What the hell!!?

One side of the block at the foot of the goddess statue shifted downward, and the stairs came out!!

“…”

“…Makoto-sama, it’s dangerous, so please don’t try to enter.”

“Eh, because it’s a hidden staircase, it reacted to my magic, I have to enter it,” I said.

“I said it’s dangerous.”

Urusei, Dulcie.

Your master is the type of person who will enter as soon as there is a hidden staircase.

I enter the hidden staircase.

Dulcie followed behind with a sour look on her face.

It’s a very old ruin.

100 years? 200 years?

When I got off the stairs, there was a wide corridor leading to a large door.

There are no monsters in particular, so it doesn’t seem to be a dungeon.

“Light.”

The light coming in from the hidden stairs is getting weaker and it’s getting dark, so I cast my Light spell.

The ball of light moved softly, was sucked into the metal fittings attached to the wall, and the light sources in the metal fittings lit up left and right.

“A temple for Light magic?” I asked.

“Come to think of it, I heard that Bianca-sama’s mansion was here before the Magic Academy was built,” Dulcie said.

“Oh, is it Bianca-sama’s temple?” I asked. “Maybe there’s something of value still in here.”

“Makoto-sama…” Dulcie said.

Please don’t look disappointed.

If I’m not good enough, I’ll be an arrogant snob below Bianca-sama’s level.

Be careful what you do so you don’t get executed.

The large door in the back was tightly locked.

There is a palm-sized plate.

Is this a contact-type lock?

I put my hand on the plate.

It does nothing.

Just in case, I try to wrap my hand in the magical power of Light.

Gogogogogo, the door opened to the left and right.

Oh, what a big deal this is.

The room was clean and dust-free.

A crystal ball and a Japanese sword are placed on the altar before me.

Japanese sword?

The crystal ball somehow reminded me of a magic judgment formula, so I carelessly touched it.

My magic power is sucked out.

Just when I thought there was a screeching noise, a beautiful image of a middle-aged woman emerged in the air.

“Ah, ah, can you hear me? I can’t get it directly into your brain, but it’s a message from the terrifyingly distant past to Makoto-chan, ah, I’m Bianca.”

“…”

“…”

It may sound strange, but I used Light magic to manipulate space and time to make predictions, I won’t teach you how to do it, though, go figure it out for yourself~.”

“…”

“…”

I think there are going to be a lot of hard things going on for you, so but I’m your Seijo-senpai, so I’m giving you a present. Do your best and do something about those.”

You’re too casual, Bianca-sama.

I heard that she was executed for selfishness, so I imagined her to be a stricter person.

Bianca in the video waved lightly and disappeared.

“… A small sword, huh?” Dulcie asked.

“Maybe I can dual wield,” I said.

Surprisingly, the unicorn dagger is also a hindrance if it is stuck on your waist.

I picked up a small sword.

It’s lighter than I expected.

I pull it out of its scabbard and slash.

Fuwaah, it’s so beautiful that I can’t believe it’s been left here for 200 years.

I see the magical power of light flowing through the handle.

Light, the blade shines white.

“Light.”

The ball of light gently leaves it.

Oh, the amount of light will be doubled, which is convenient.

I need to learn how to use this kodachi.

I wonder if Koishi-chan will tell me.

For now, Bianca-sama, thank you very much for the kodachi.

However, foreknowledge with the space-time magic of Light?

I have some doubts as to how she would do it, but if she could have predicted it, why was Bianca-sama executed?

You’d think she’d have run away.

I have my doubts.
