38 Episode 38: Visit to the Ministry of Magic (2/2)

”Yes, I would like permission to view and retrieve materials stored in the Ministry of Magic.”

”What material exactly do you want?

”on the history of the founding of the Kingdom of Palletia and then the Spirit covenant”

”Ho...”

Hearing what I asked for, Lord Jiltu narrows his eyes as he strokes his jaw.

”May I ask your intentions?

”You know I can't use magic innate.”

”No, that's a nostalgic story. I remember handing Princess Anisphere some magic.... It was an unfortunate story. Come on, I thought you were careless.”

”Because you can't just look down and move on. So now I'm going to explore if I can't see the thread of the solution by examining the spiritual contract of magic origin. This is my father's mission as king.”

”As long as it takes! Surely, if the miracle of the first king dwells in Princess Anisphere, we can say that she is safe.”

Lord Jiltu nodded at me with a laugh. Is this going to be better than I thought?

”But what happens to magic if Princess Anisphere can handle magic?

Yikes.... I don't really want to be shaken right now. Miguel, who told the story, looks intrigued. I think Lang's eyes looked this way, too. You don't have to turn around.

”That's... whatever it is at the moment. It would be reasonable to maintain the status quo for a while longer than your father had given you the privilege of clarifying your spiritual contract.”

”So in the future, you think it's possible to pull a hand from magic? That's unbearable!

”Hey, Miguel. Your mouth is too much.”

Lang looks grumpy when Miguel tells him to mourn. Um, shall I keep the face of the Ministry of Magic here?

”It's something that was viewed more heretically than the original. Results are what you get. Guys, once again, we want to put our validation on the way magic works. A spiritual covenant will lead to the art of knowing the spiritual mind deeply. If so, I wonder if the existence of my magic will also be questioned as natural.”

”As long as it takes! Learn magic, hence magic! Please, Princess Anisphere, just pray for the light in her quest!

Oh, oh...

Lang's eyebrows aren't going to come back. It is a little pathetic. As far as I'm concerned, I don't want to get too excited, but hey.

However, I could only have a loving laugh and this young man named Miguel planted a sense of bad taste in me. And Lang's displeasure wasn't going to go away! How did that happen!?

”Dear Anis, may I wait outside?

”Huh? Yufi?

”There will be many valuable materials, because they are going to be eye-catching. … please return when you have the necessary materials”

”Oh, yes.”

At the end of the conversation, which seemed to cause bad air earlier, Lord Zildou and I stood in front of a library closed with heavy doors and strict keys to receive the materials.

When I tell her that I will wait outside, Anise will look at her like she missed the conjecture. I will be escorted straight into the library by Lord Zildu before exhaling. But if I don't tell you this, you're going to be distracted, Master Anis.

... and some of you seem to need me.

”Dear Uphilia,”

”Son of Count Voltaire”

”With Lang. May I have a moment, please?

”Yes, until Master Anis returns.”

That's an indication. He called out to me, who was watching over Master Anis, but was also interested in me.

”... it seems like things are going on and it hurts my heart. Do you feel any inconvenience or anything?

”No, that's not true. Recently, Anis has also changed his mind and served as a royalty.”

”Is that a spiritual covenant as a first step?... What do you say? Do you stand a view that is involved in magic and works well from Master Uphilia, who is blessed with magical talent?

To the kind of inquiry I would explore, I would stare at Lord Lang sideways and then take my gaze off. Then this sigh exhales into your shin and shakes your neck to the left and right.

”Perhaps it won't work.”

”... why is that?

”I didn't verify it, but at the moment, Master Anis is innate in his inability to use magic. Will that be fulfilled even in spiritual covenants, or can covenants be made in the first place? As an assistant, I think we should look to the worst possibilities at the same time as we wish Annis success.”

”As good as it gets... I still wonder if that attitude is great as the one raised as the next queen. I'm so sorry to hear about Algard...”

... Yep, really. I just regretted it when I thought about it. Failure to save that one must be a disgrace to me all my life and an unconsciousness that I will continue to recall.

”Even though the Chartreuse family has gone wild, the trust of both of us has fallen...”

”No. Lady Anis does not think so. Instead, it was the discord that had accumulated for so long that was the seed of the problem, and he told me that now was the time to remove that bud.”

”Really, that's delightful. If Master Anis could give magic to the Spirit, he would no longer be imprisoned by the incredible idea of magic. I wonder if that's the kind of sight you should still have as a royalty.”

... heh, really. “This is the world that Anis felt”?

I inadvertently deepen my grin at the emotions that have emerged from the bottom of my mind.

”Incredible thought, is it”

”Yep. That's what I think. There is no denying the use of magic, per se. But the theory that speaks of it… I thought it was just a little bit of a rush.”

”Are you talking about the theory of the occurrence of demonic stones from the occurrence of spiritual stones?

”Yep. Referring to Spirit Stone, the gift of the Spirit, as the carcass of the Spirit...... I thought it was very blasphemous. Not to mention that the Demon Stone is what the Spirit has degenerated, etc.”

”You don't deny it until it's useful, do you?

”Yep. Even acknowledging the usefulness of magic itself, I think many people find it difficult to accept the idea that leads them there. I was concerned about that. And the royal family.”

”Sure... I'm out of line, too”

”Lord Uphilia, too! No, I've been worried about you, too. I was wondering if Princess Anisphere might be distraught...”

... Yeah, he said he was sick. Because I've always been heartbroken about it.

”Now, I'm here. Be sure to show Princess Anisphere the right way. My loyalty to the royal family and to my country remains unchanged.”

”Ooh......! That's comforting. Please, then, as a member of the Ministry of Magic, this Lang will also help.”

”Yeah, thanks”

Take my hand and stare at Lang mouthing on the back of his hand, and I smile back.

Plus, Lang and Smile were where they were returning, but the voice that broke in there sounded.

”Lang, why don't you come inside and help me out? Just Grandpa, you're gonna have a hard time taking out the materials, aren't you?

”... Miguel”

”Look, I'm only helping. Wouldn't it taste good to go inside?”

”Hmm! I know! Let's just say son of the Marquis family, letting outsiders in is a bad outing! You're still forgiven for being such a Zildou, don't bother to look too big.”

”I know. Look, he said come on.”

While I'm just a little surprised by the attitude I don't think of as a very Marquis son, I see Lang enter the library with an abominable distortion of his face.

I clean my hands by dropping Lang off in the back and then calling on the Spirit of Water to float the water polo in the universe.

”... unexpectedly Eggy, Master Uphilia”

”What is it about? Just, yeah. I thought it was a little dirty.”

Wipe your hands in the water polo, then squeal your fingers and mist the water polo to turn it off.

... All this, I resent you. Dear Algard, I frown at the discomfort that makes the back of my stomach heavier.

”Oh, I'm scared! Or would you rather thank me? I stopped oiling the fire.”

”What is it about? I thought I heard something very informative.”

”You really look just like your father. Ha ha, keep the parents and children together!

You don't feel bad to be told you look like your father. The road is different, people, it's a respected back. You want to start lining up your shoulders someday.

Well. I'm observing a man named Miguel who broke into the story again. Somewhere without a grasp, you get the impression of a cloud. If you can never be alert, you're the one who sounds the alarm behind my brain.

”Is that me, on guard?

”I don't see a position, in the sense that”

”Neutrality. Neither. I'm just here to identify you. He's gray. It's not white, it's not black, it's gonna be both.”

He said he's not an enemy or an ally, he'll be an enemy or an ally.

... Is this the Graphite family policy? What is inconspicuous is that you refrain from being conspicuous? Close your eyes and look at Miguel.

”Don't worry, your father and father are not your enemies.”

You didn't even say ”you're on our side,” did you?

”... Nice. Yeah, well, people who can interact like this are really great.”

Keep staring at Miguel with your arms together and nodding away from your gaze.

”If I were to reduce it, I wonder if I'd find out if I could use magic anytime.”

”... ugh!

”Are you unconscious? Is Prince Algard's divorce still ringing? It's tough not to realize if you don't point it out, you should fix it, huh?

Sure, I was expensive enough to shoot magic anytime. Being pointed out made me aware, so it is easy to calm down. However, the problem is that I was taken into account, and the bitterness spreads.

At the same time, my vigilance for Miguel and at the same time my interest boiled. Perhaps he is also quite a magical hand-worker. Didn't I ever hear your name because you're lying down...?

”Hopefully, we'll continue to have a good relationship? Dear Uphilia,”

”Yeah, this way. Lord Miguel.”

That's how I got my hands on Miguel. He looked just a little unexpected, Miguel, but he immediately responded to my handshake. A handshake to the point of contact is immediately released and a handkerchief is offered.

”It was wet, so use it if you like”

”Thank you for your concern. Can I wash it and give it back?

”Now, please keep it until the next opportunity. We are always looking forward to returning it.”

Yeah, when there's next time, sure. That's how we smiled at each other.
