Episode 26.9 (1/2)

A quarrel started a while earlier and is still on going even now in front of the door outside the room.

The three members of the Royal Mages came by and insisted they should go in to check since there was something amiss inside the room, while the Royal Knights' Vice Commander and two Temple Knights denied them entry, so the two sides clashed.

Apparently the Royal Knights Vice Commander, Neisan Aspell holds the highest standing among them. After him is Royal Mages Vice Commander, Roland Batt, then Temple Knight Derston Barmoa, and then Temple Knight Zahad Echika, Royal Knight Fourth Division Captain, Vice Captain and lastly the two members of the Royal Mages.

It was only natural for capable mages to be stupefied by a magic that consumed so much mana, after which they quickly rushed to the building.

However the knights protecting the door has been mandated an order directly from the Prime Minister himself to never allow anyone besides those who have the permission go in the lounge. It was something drawn up by the request of Skalabel who didn't want anyone to get in the way of his talks with Shira.

As such, they were steadfast in denying the mages' entry.

However, the mages are once again clamoring to let them in now that the magic has stopped.

Lecan asks Amamir who's still overcome with emotion.

”Sorry, but someone's making a racket outside. Could you tell them that there's nothing wrong inside and go back to their post.”

”It shall be done, Lecan-dono.”

Amamir walked up to the door and called out to the people outside.

”We've been hearing noise outside, what's going on there.”

”First Class Priest, Amamir-dono. Please excuse us. The Royal Mages wish to confirm if you are experiencing any trouble inside.”

”Hohhohhohhoho. I don't blame mages for reacting to that magic just now. But this is not a matter you guard can tread into. You're bothering Guide Skalabel. Keep it down will ya.”

”Sir.”

Now that they got confirmation that there was nothing wrong inside and no more magic being exercised. The Royal Mages members left the front door.

Lecan sighed in relief since those mages are still clueless about Eda's

.

The Royal Knights' Vice Commander unexpectedly joining the entourage may have stumped the town lord, but that ended up being useful here. Had Roland Batt been the one with the highest standing, he might have tried to force his way in.

”Skalabel. Wakey wakey now.”

Shira coated her voice with mana. Must be the so-called <Magic Word>.

Skalabel opened his eyes and moved his body.

”Ooh. Master. This is unbelievable. My body feels much better. This creaking body of mine. Ooh! My skin, it's soft. My rock-like skin. And my condition. I have never felt this good in the last 20 years. Ah, master.”

”I'm glad for you. So, Norma.”

”Yes.”

”Is he cured now?”

”He might have, but if possible, it's better if the guide could have

cast on him during the entire duration of his stay.”
