Chapter 32.3 : Saria Academy
「But in that case, we have another problem….」
Said Sahoko. Yup, we have a more problematic question now.
「Come to think of it, Chiyuki-san. Do you think it’ll work on a powerful person who possesses all magic resistances? I mean Kuroki did have it. His magic resistance is extremely powerful」
「Yup, it’s as you say, Nao-san. Whether it’s charm magic or ruling magic, it won’t work on someone who has high magic resistance. And then, from the fact that he can survive from my strongest magic should be proof that his magic resistance is extremely high」
That’s why he wouldn’t be easily manipulated by magic.
「Then, what method is the Demon King using to manipulate him?」
I pondered hardly as I heard Rino’s question.
「Magic potion of love? What the hell is that」
Reiji asked a question.
「The one you call as love potion. I accidentally discovered the description about that potion in one book inside the library, but it seems that not even god can resist the effect of such potion」
「Then, do you mean that Kuroki is being manipulated with that magic potion?」
I shake my head to answer Shiron’se question.
Eventually, we hit the wall.
In addition, there’s still the possibility that he isn’t being manipulated by magic.
「It seems the method to release the one who is manipulated by magic also involves extremely delicate work. We need to do more investigation on this matter」
I conclude our meeting with this declaration. In the end, we can’t conclude anything unless we investigate about what kind of situation he’s currently in. And unless we understand his situation, we can’t find a way to deal with him.
「I think we should also tell Rena about this matter just in case, so she can help with our investigation. She should have more information about this matter….」
But, something or another might have happened back in the Rox kingdom, thus Rena didn’t make her appearance lately. We couldn’t expect much from her.
「Rena is… It seems something happened to her in Rox kingdom. Is she alright now?」
Reiji is worried about Rena. The expression of several people in this room turned severe upon hearing that.
I don’t know what happened. Also, there has been no explanation after her sudden withdrawal from the front lines. Everyone except for Reiji was angry at Rena.
There were so many things that I wanted to ask her the next time we meet: about what happened in Rox Kingdom or the identity of that masked man. And then, the number of people summoned by the Demon King. Whether there’s another person summoned by someone else except the Demon King and Rena.
Especially the fact if Rena knew about the Demon King could do the summoning, too.
We’re in deep trouble if the Demon King decides to keep summoning more people.
Thus, we decided to make a report to Rena about the one summoned by the Demon King. But since we couldn’t meet Rena, we had no choice but to relay our report via Nier. Thus, Nier would know about the one summoned by the Demon King.
And then, I heard the story that the Demon King wouldn’t perform another summon due to the power of the king of gods, Oudith.
When I asked why she didn’t tell us about such an important matter, it seemed that Nier was also not privy about such information.
That’s why I need to hear proper explanation from Rena by meeting her.
「But, it seems that Rena can’t meet us right now. I think we should just wait for her」
Reiji is covering for Rena.
The face of few people turned even more darker due to those words.
Reiji dotes on Rena. I’m also slightly irritated by such a fact.
「Hey, if Rena can’t make her move, let’s just go to Nargol by ourselves!」
Shirone puts forth a startling suggestion.
But, that’s an impossibility.
「Shirone-san… That’s impossible. We have to breakthrough Nargol in order to search for him. Moreover, it’ll cause a war for sure. Do you want to fight him?」
Nao is the only one amongst us who could sneak in secretly without being noticed, but it’s too dangerous for her to travel alone.
「That’s a bit too much… But… But then, let’s go to the place near Nargol」
「Well, if you’re not going to enter Nargol… But then, we might not be able to gain more accurate information」
「Just a little information is enough as long as it’s someone who understand Kuroki」 [TL: ….]
It seems Shirone couldn’t stand still without doing anything. Maybe she wanted to go there even if it’s just a bit closer.
「Speaking of which, the closest place to Nargol should be the kingdom of Veros. How about we go there?」
「Well, that place is surely the biggest kingdom within that area」
「But then, it isn’t the closest kingdom to Nargol, though?」
「Yeah, the closest one to Nargol is a kingdom called Algore. But, it is a country who caused trouble to us last time. I heard that a coup d’etat happened after we left, but I don’t know about the current situation of that kingdom」
I reply to Rino question. Algore kingdom was trying to mess with us when we went there before. The soldiers of the king were taken down by Reiji. We don’t know what happened to that kingdom later since we left immediately to enter Nargol. I heard that a coup d’etat happened after we left.
「Well, since I’m also worried about that kingdom, shall we take a look for a bit then?」
Reiji also had his share of worry. He might be the last person to be concerned with the aftermath of Algore kingdom.
「Come to think of it, the princess of Algore is quite a beauty, isn’t she?」
Nao is saying so with a wide grin on her face.
「WHAT THE! NAO!!」
Reiji’s shouting in panic.
「Rei-kun…」
「Reiji-san…」
Sahoko and Nao were pouting.
「Wait a minute, Reiji-kun… You really are….」
I had enough of this kind of attitude from him. I was sure that her name is Regena. Yup, she’s quite a beauty. Since we only stayed for a short time in Algore, there wasn’t enough time for Reiji’s evil claws to reach her.
I forgot about her until Nao reminded us.
After hearing about Regena, we couldn’t let Reiji travel to Algore.
「Come to think of it, Chiyuki-sama, What had happened when you were in Saria?」
Kaya’s words reminded me about it. I briefly told everyone about this matter before our meeting.
