Book 9: Chapter 8: Heres come your favorite flying magic. (While throwing him out the window) (2/2)
”Sure, of course. I don't blame you for your actions on the stage.”
In contrast to Glenn, who was screaming and crying, Louis had a very elegant tone. That in turn made things feel rather chilly.
”Glenn, I heard that you… often use flight magic when going to school from home.”
”*flinch* H-How did you!?”
”I heard about it when I paid my greetings to your parents a while ago. Well, I guess your magic skills must have grown a lot. Putting aside your empty head.”
”Aaaaagh! Owowowowow!”
”Have you forgotten about what you did every single day to the wall of my house when using flight magic? Hah?”
The last part ‘hah?' voiced it in a low tone, and it sounded particularly scary.
Monica backed away, watching the exchange between the master and disciple, which was very far from heartwarming.
Then, she whispered to the little bird that perched on her shoulder.
”I-I didn't know Glenn was Louis' disciple…”
”You're not aware of the master-disciple relationship between Sir Louis and Sir Glenn?”
Responding to Lynn's words with nods, Monica then realized one possibility.
”Um, did Glenn aware… of my identity?”
Monica and Glenn were both transferred to Serendia Academy at about the same time. Therefore, it was reasonable to assume that the one who'd sent Glenn to this academy was Louis.
”Did he send Glenn to enroll in this academy was to support me…?”
”If I may be so bold. Do you think that Sir Glenn is capable of supporting you behind the scenes or performing covert missions?”
”I don't think so…”
For better or for worse, Glenn Dudley is completely honest and cheerful.
”According to Sir Louis, he had made Sir Glenn enrolled in this academy to camouflage your infiltration.”
And that action had made Felix put his guard up because he think that he was a spy that Louis Miller put that spy in his surrounding. If Monica enrolled alone, he might have suspected her as Louis' spy.
That's why Louis sent Glenn to enroll in the academy at the same time as Monica.
Naturally, if his disciple, Glenn enrolled in the academy, Felix would put more attention to him, leaving Monica's enrollment less suspicious.
”In this matter, Sir Glenn doesn't know anything.”
”………”
In other words, Louis Miller used his disciple as a decoy for a top-secret mission. How heartless he can be.
”I doubt Sir Glenn can keep your identity and the mission a secret if he's aware of it. So, it's safer to leave out the information for him.”
”…I figured.”
Out of the corner of Monica's eye, Glenn, who had been tortured by Louis, was crying out ”Mrs. Miller!” to ask for help from Louis' wife, and was about to get a tongue lashing from Louis.
If Monica kept staying here, people would think Louis and her were known to each other. So she apologized to Glenn in her mind and decided to pretend to be a stranger and leave the place.
At any rate, she hoped that Glenn won't be punished that badly.
The fact Louis and Glenn were master and disciple had surprised her, but inwardly, Monica was so relieved when knowing that Glenn did not know Monica's true identity.
He did speak friendly to her was not because of her mission, but because he's that kind person he chatted so friendly with her even when he's unaware of her true identity.
You're my friend! Monica's been wondering if his words were a lie, but relieved when realized it's not.
If possible, she would like to remain friends with him.
…I'd better keep my identity secret from him.
To her own surprise, Monica found it difficult to let go of her current life.
