Chapter 410
After leaving the imperial palace, Harriet walked quickly.
I had thought of him as a good advisor until now, but the strong sense of incongruity I felt because he showed such a different side soon turned into a terrifying sense of fear.
Although he hadn’t actually suffered anything, Harriet was able to intuit that he was an abnormal wizard after just a few conversations.
It seems to follow.
Somehow it seems so.
He keeps picking up strange sounds and saying things to himself whose intentions are unknown.
Saying that I wish I had known you earlier, feeling like I’m almost deified beyond the limit, and even nonsense that I can’t even understand at all, such as the god of the new world.
A normal wizard would never say such a thing.
Harriet is a wizard who has been on an elite course.
Being a wizard is basically the study of a genius, but there are also street wizards, and there are definitely people who learn magic from those street wizards.
They are usually lunatics and eccentrics.
Harriet heard that there were many lunatics who enjoyed torturing people who had no talent for magic by forcibly teaching them magic.
soon.
Having walked the path of an elite mage, Harriet has rarely encountered mad mages in practice. First of all, Harriet’s father was a great magician, and those who taught Harriet magic were usually clean wizards with sound thoughts.
Harriot’s madness was the first and last case of Aaron Mede, who had been making chimeras in the basement of his mansion.
So it was only natural that Lothar Dewyn, who seemed to be fine today, uttered strange noises and felt a sense of fear from an unknown source.
Of course, it wouldn’t be the legendary level villain of the evil wizard that my brother or father had told me about when I was younger than now.
However, Harriet felt in real time how frightened she was when faced with a man with immeasurable madness.
Harriet kept looking back as she walked.
Could that person be following you?
It seemed that something was obsessed with me.
If you follow me, what the hell are you going to do to me?
Her steps got faster and faster, and on the magic train back to Temple, even among the passengers, Harriet broke out in a cold sweat.
Nothing happened, but it seemed like something was about to happen.
Harriet couldn’t hide her nervousness, even though she knew that this anxiety was groundless.
Weird eyes looking at you.
When you talk about magic books, the one that shines in your eyes is desire.
Random nonsense that I can’t understand at all.
Hoping that such a lunatic sorceress wouldn’t do anything to harm her, Harriet got off the train and returned to the temple at near-running speed.
The moment she crossed the Temple Gate, Harriet felt a little relieved, but it wasn’t enough.
It was night, so the tram was cold.
Only a few students got on the tram late, so Harriet looked around in a cold sweat as she was busy with her errands.
The idea that I might get caught up in the unheard of of being targeted by a mad wizard made my blood run dry.
It will be just rain. These days, my nerves have become sensitive, so I just overreact to words that are not a big deal.
However, there was a problem with just saying no because all of the words Rossor Dewyn had heard were nothing but bizarre sounds.
In a complicated and fearful mind, Harriet finally arrived at the Royal Class dormitory stop and entered it.
and.
As soon as she returned to her sophomore dormitory, Harriet felt the fear and fear that had been engulfing her disappear in an instant.
“uh… … .”
Perhaps he had just washed up, Reinhardt, with a towel around his neck, was walking toward the lobby and our eyes met.
As always these days, Reinhardt hesitated a bit but couldn’t speak to himself.
Well, there is Reinhardt.
If it’s Reinhardt, I’m confident that he’ll do something for me.
I hate to admit it and I can’t either.
The moment I saw Reinhardt’s face, the anxiety that had been oppressing my heart disappeared like a lie.
“ah… … .”
As soon as he saw Reinhardt, his reflexes relaxed, and Harriet’s legs gave way.
– Stagger!
“Uh, hey, why are you doing this!”
And, just before Heriot collapsed, Reinhardt quickly grabbed Herriot. Supported by Reinhardt, Harriet bit his lip.
Obviously, there are many people who are stronger than Reinhardt, and there are many people who are more trustworthy than Reinhardt.
Why does this guy’s face give him such strong relief?
“Why are you in such a cold sweat… … .”
Reinhardt hesitated, but carefully examined Harriet’s complexion, as if he couldn’t let it go.
The reason I feel relieved when I see Reinhardt.
Harriet seemed to know why.
that’s because he’s a bad guy
He’s a madman who will do anything to protect someone dear to him, to the point of breaking off an engagement when Charlotte’s life is in danger.
He is a bad guy who does it even though he knows that it hurts the people around him.
therefore.
If something happens to me, just like I did to Charlotte.
He said he would do it somehow, no matter what.
He’s a bad guy, he’s an unscrupulous guy.
You’ve always done something for me, so I’ll do something for you this time too.
That’s why Harriet couldn’t help but feel relieved when she saw Reinhardt.
Harriet would rather hate Reinhardt.
“hey… … . why do you do that what happened?”
I wanted to hate you
actually hate
However, she believes in Reinhardt as much as her hatred.
“I don’t know… … . Me too, I don’t know why I’m doing this… … .”
And, because I like Reinhardt more than I hate him.
“just… … . just… … . Wait a minute like this. Please stay like this for a while… … .”
“Uh, huh? uh… … . uh. Ah Okay… … .”
In the end, Harriet couldn’t hate Reinhardt more than now.
* * *
“You think it’s an illusion?”
“… … huh. Come to think of it, I was just frightened by myself and nothing happened.”
what is this
I thought it was because I got caught up in something serious, but Harriet said it wasn’t really a big deal.
“No, just… … . He keeps calling me a genius and exaggerating… … . There is such a person… … . Something. I have to say that I’m a little suspicious. Do you have any other intentions? He said something a little strange, but I think he was strange… … . What should I say? It’s just that I’m scared for nothing… … .”
“delusion?”
At my words, Harriet’s face turned red.
“uh… … . Delusion, a… … . I think… … .”
what is it
According to the Lucille style of speech, did our cutie have some kind of axeman attribute? Wouldn’t it be like that?
“It just seems like that person will be chasing and following. I’m scared… … . But now that I think about it, people are a bit strange… … . He never did anything bad to me or intentionally asked me for anything or anything… … . Wizards are all geeks in their own way… … . Come to think of it, that person isn’t that unusual, but I think I misunderstood… … .”
It’s so embarrassing that it’s cute that you even blurt out your pronunciation.
And it’s nice to be able to see this cute side without any guilt.
In the end, the research assistant he had helped so far was exaggerating himself, so he wondered if he had a strange mind, so he left his seat in surprise and ran to the temple.
I don’t know what kind of weird thing he said, but it seems like the wizards are saying strange things, not for a day or two.
by the way.
I couldn’t even do this or that, wondering if I should get away from Harriet like this, but Harriet relied on me first.
I’m glad it’s not a big deal either way. I felt like my heart was sinking because I wondered if something serious had happened.
If it’s an illusion, it’s welcome.
It’s because of an illusion that I’m able to talk like this normally.
Harriet and I are now sitting opposite each other in a restaurant.
And I met Harriet right after I washed up after sparring with Ellen.
“… … .”
“Ah, Ellen… … .”
So, it was natural for Ellen to come to the restaurant to cook something after taking a shower.
Ellen looked at Harriet and I, who were sitting across from each other, then sat next to Harriet.
As if it’s natural.
“Do you have something to eat?”
Our Dum Dum Chung asks as if his eyes are almost shining.
“I will make it for you today.”
It seems that I really like the return of this composition. Harriet looked at Ellen like that and said something with a complicated expression.
It seemed like he was laughing vaguely, and he seemed like he was about to cry vaguely.
with a complicated expression.
“I, I… … . Bae, are you hungry?”
“What are you?”
And a voice that was quite unfamiliar to hear in the A-class dormitory, even at this late hour, came from behind.
“Something like a knight telling the lord to come, is this right?”
Charlotte, arms crossed, was staring at Ellen with a nervous expression.
No, did Ellen call Charlotte?
“I am good at cooking. I will make it for you.”
“My knight doesn’t need to be particularly good at cutting that one, right?”
“You don’t have to do anything. Better than you who can do neither.”
“Is this real? How can you bet I can’t cook? Haven’t you ever seen one?”
“I would have grown up in an environment where I couldn’t do well, so of course I wouldn’t be able to do it.”
“… … okay! can not! It’s okay not to! But did you call me to get into a fight? In the middle of the night?”
“I called to cook for you, but you were the one who got into a fight. I was trying to take care of myself. They say that they are falling to the extent that they haven’t seen this before.”
“… … Who resembles the one who makes the right words unlucky?”
Ellen silently points at me with a wink.
No, he doesn’t seem like that, but he knows how to scratch people properly?
will you turn?
“and… … . Now you don’t say a word and make me angry?”
“Getting angry easily, that’s a disease.”
I see this composition occasionally these days.
Charlotte and Ellen have a different feeling than Ellen and Olivia, and they have a bad compatibility.
And Ellen, does it feel like she’s talking a lot when she’s talking to Charlotte? When she’s arguing with Olivia, she just says, what, fuck off, I don’t like it?
“Anyway, what do you want to eat?”
At Ellen’s question, Charlotte grinned.
“Beef bourguignon.”
What do we do?
Our 1st princess started paying for food?
But what followed was more spectacle.
“Only use the safe part. Originally, I like oily things, but I’m on a diet these days. and spices. Especially do not use pepper. I really hate cooks who try to hide their poor skills by beating them with spices. The wine is a red wine from Rigille… … .”
“Don’t be cheap and eat what they give you.”
Ellen spit out my thoughts and threw them away.
Of course, it was natural for Charlotte’s face to turn red when she heard those words.
“What? Poor price?! Did you just say it was worth it?”
“Facial price means face value, so it’s about face value. Because you’re pretty, I said you’re picky enough to be pretty.”
“uh… … . uh? what? what?”
“If you don’t know, eat what they give you.”
“hey! Yaw! Where does this run away!”
“I’m not running away, I’m going to the kitchen.”
Ellen went into the kitchen as if she didn’t want to hear Charlotte screaming anymore, and Charlotte started watching from behind to see if she was going to spy on her.
Harriet was watching Ellen and Charlotte’s argument with me, mouth wide open.
“hey… … . Hey… … .”
“I think I know what you mean.”
“I think you and I were like that last year… … .”
Although the context of the conversation is different, Charlotte, who is perplexed as to what she is hearing, and Ellen, who beats her up nonetheless, are the exact opposite of Harriet and I from last year.
It wasn’t the only thing similar.
-I hate carrots!
-eat.
– Really? won’t you give me
– I’m holding a knife.
-and… … . You’re really just leaving… … ?
“Reinhardt… … . I’m dizzy… … .”
Harriet heard Ellen and Charlotte’s chatter, which made her dizzy just by hearing it, and then stretched out on the table and whined.
“actually… … . I’m still not used to it.”
The conversation between the two is dizzy in a different meaning than what they are talking about.
Ellen finished the beef bourguignon and served it to us, while Charlotte crossed her arms and sneered.
“I’m sorry, but do you remember talking about dieting? What do you think I’ll eat after eleven at night? Think about it.”
okay.
you seemed like this
Charlotte is excited! Ellen stares at her Charlotte as she turns away from her food.
that.
Mouth sticking out.
“… … Well, I’m not eating.”
Charlotte looked at Ellen’s protruding mouth and eyes, and tried to ignore them, muttering quietly.
“… … .”
As if I wouldn’t eat if you didn’t eat it, Ellen was glaring at Charlotte with her mouth full.
you will be sad
If you don’t eat, you’ll be really sad.
It’s an almost coercive look.
“Ah Okay! You can’t eat it!”
Charlotte really didn’t seem to want to eat, but Ellen forced her to eat.
“… … Heung, it’s good enough to eat in moderation.”
The line was so obvious that it was almost astonishing, and Harriet’s face was blushing as if she felt the emotion of seeing Charlotte like that.
“Nana… … . never again… … . Never say anything like that again… … . Excited or… … . Excited or… … .”
okay.
You’re cute enough even if you don’t say lines like that anymore.
* * *
As Ellen became Charlotte’s knight, this kind of time came to happen occasionally, and although she did not reconcile with Harriet, the four of them gathered in the Class A dormitory because of Harriet’s subtle misunderstanding.
After we ate Ellen’s cooking, we had time for tea.
Ellen and Charlotte would automatically grumble if left alone. When the two started arguing, Harriet pressed her temples and tried not to listen as much as possible.
Of course, it wasn’t just that.
“… … uh. What have I heard wrong now?”
“You’re right about increasing the efficiency of using gates.”
“No, that… … . If it’s within the warp gate area, you can move it all at once?”
“I don’t know if it will happen in practice, but in theory it works. I don’t know if you understand, but I made something with a similar design.”
Charlotte asked Harriet if the Ministry of Magic got anything he wanted from looking through the research materials, and Harriet only replied.
The story surprised me too.
Instead of using the warp gate continuously, it was improved to reach the destination by using it only once.
Of course, it won’t be a story right now. Charlotte looks at Harriet with a worried expression.
“Once what you say is true and it really is… … . Wow, I have no idea what will change.”
Charlotte seemed to have a hard time calculating the wavelength that the efficiency and simplification of using the warp gate would bring.
What about Ellen? She just tilts her head while doing it, and I can’t help but think that our paktong is the best.
If you think about it, Harriet’s discovery is also a discovery with a ripple effect on the level of a power cartridge or moonshine. It’s just that I can’t feel it because it’s a change that doesn’t exist in my expected range.
It was true that the discovery was of great help to the national interest, so Charlotte seemed to be seriously thinking about the talent of Harriet de Saintoine, the greatest genius in the history of magic.
Ellen, Harriet, and Charlotte.
The picture of the three of them talking together was unfamiliar, but it didn’t look too bad.
“What is your sister doing these days?”
The three of them were talking awkwardly as if they were close, then Ellen asked me in a low voice.
Then Charlotte and Harriet looked in my direction as if they were interested.
that… … .
There’s nothing wrong with asking me about Olivia’s current situation.
But it was strange that Ellen was curious about it.
In the end, did he begin to feel a sense of kinship with the owner of the sacred object, sharing the same fate?
Olivia never explained to me what she was going through, whether she thought it was a bad thing to talk about.
Even, there were so many days when the temple was empty that it was difficult to meet.
“I heard that you work as a heretic inquisitor… … . I don’t know the details.”
He only knows that Olivia is looking for clues to the Demonic Cult.
If I reveal that I am the Demon King, Olivia will be on my side and will keep my secret.
However, if Olivia makes such a choice, it is no different than making herself an enemy of mankind.
I’d rather Olivia be on no one’s side than risk it by being on my side. No, it’s better for Olivia to think of her demon lord as her enemy. If so, Olivia herself would not become the enemy of an unspecified majority.
It is better for Olivia to regard the disembodied demon king as an enemy than to bring Olivia to the side of the demon king and make him an enemy of mankind. Because that’s all I have to do is avoid her Olivia.
“The Heretic Inquisitor?”
Everyone was surprised because the word itself had an ominous resonance.
Although Olivia is accepted as a broken-hearted senior by the second year of the Royal Class, they do not know that Olivia Ranze is a person famous as a saint.
That’s why everyone seemed surprised that Olivia was working as a heretic inquisitor who killed and tortured people.
The engagement and the numerous changes that followed it changed the entire continental situation, and also changed our relationship.
The smallest of those little things.
The four of us got together like this in the middle of the night to talk.
It wasn’t shattered.
However, in this bizarre relationship, it seems that what was clumsily broken is clumsily attached.
I could feel a precarious little peace.
