66 Episode 62: Leaps and Pitfalls (1/2)
”Tomasoo! Let's ask!
”... can you come any quieter, Master Anis”
I call Tomas well as I open the Gana Workshop door vigorously. Tomas, who was working in the workshop, stopped his hand and looked at me. Relieved on the same Buddha top surface.
”Tomas! I need a job!
”Work?”
”Yes!”
”What am I supposed to make next?
”Tomas! I want you to come under me as a technical advisor!
”............ what?
After plenty of room, he leaked his voice like Tomas had been taken aback.
I breathe and tell him again with a full grin.
”Technical advisor!
”Wait, what are you talking about?
”Permission came out of the country to mass-produce magic inventions. So I want Tomas to officially hold the position of mentoring and expressing his opinions under me as a technical advisor.”
”............ what?
A voice like the second time I was taken aback. Did he start having headaches, put his fist down to slap him on the forehead several times, and then Tomas closed his lid tightly.
”... does that mean state business? You want me to be your technical advisor?
”Tomas is the best contributor to the development of magic. That's why Tomas is good. It's Tomas who understands my philosophy, no matter what major workshop I signed up for. So I can't think of anything but Tomas.”
”Are you nuts!? I'm a civilian, this little workshop blacksmith!? You can't possibly act as a technical advisor to me like that!!”
”I'll wear as many as I can for an assistant! If you still say you don't like Tomas, this will be your last solicitation! Tomas, give me your talent!!”
Whether you want to mass produce inventions of magic or develop them, you can't take Tomas off anymore. I don't want to take it off rather.
His strength could be amply demonstrated in the Celestial. In the future, I want Tomas on the stage of the accelerated invention of magic.
I gaze into his eyes to convey such thoughts. Tomas was opening his eyes and looking me in the eye, but soon he would stray from face to face.
”... why am I doing this for the nobles?”
”I don't know what kind of pan Tomas has in his nobility. I don't want to hear from myself anymore. But I really want Tomas' talent. I want you to see the world I see, and I want you to expand it. And it's not just for nobility. The knights who defended this country wanted power from me to protect their country and their people. He said that with inventions of magic, we could make this country better. I want to live up to that thought. That's why I need your help, Tomas.”
I don't know what I could do alone. I still remember the feeling of powerlessness that I didn't have the power I wanted. Still, I kept looking forward. I think even the force has followed me. Still, there are many things you can't do alone.
So I hope you can help me. I want you to hold hands and get up on the stage with me. That will one day revolve around and help everyone. I'm sure even Tomas gets something if he's involved in developing demonic props. Because I want it to be, and I want it to be.
For a little while, Tomas, who remained silent, groans as he scratches his head indiscriminately.
”... Seriously, what is it?
”I mean it.”
”... chip. I wish I had kicked you out without telling you anything the first time I saw you. Same thing you did back then.”
”Bye!
”Give me time! ……… think”
”Okay!... you know, Tomas. Knights also have civilian knights. If I succeed in that, my invention may spread among the people as well. I definitely want to take this chance. Because he wants Tomas to follow the same path.”
I lay my own hands on Tomas' hands. Thomas turned his gaze toward me for just a moment, but he immediately turns his back by paying his hand. This is a manifestation of Tomas' will to reject. I don't think any more conversations with him will yield a fruitful response.
Keep looking at Tomas' back and then I turn my back trying to get the workshop behind me. I heard Tomas inquiring on my back like that.
”... Dear Anis, what are you? Are you nuts? Is that just reckless? Are you the Princess of Desolation...?
”What am I? That's what I'm talking about.”
We don't look back on each other. I try to whine with my gaze straight.
”The Wizard.”
I knew there was no response from Tomas. I kept the door shut in my back and left the Gana workshop behind.
”Raini! I'm home! Sorry for the sudden, but I have business with Baron Cyan, so I'd like to interrupt Baron Cyan's house!
”Welcome back, Master Anisphere. In the meantime, let's stop once because Raini is surprised.”
”Ugh!”
With his leg back from the Gana workshop, he went straight to the outhouse, where he tried to jump out with Raini, who picked him up, and Ilia pulled his collar. Yes, my breath......! I thought my throat would crush......!
Raini, who was held by me, is moving into Ilia's hands. Raini looks at me with her eyes properly, and Ilia exhales a frightened sigh, as usual, before asking me.
”So, what happened all of a sudden?
”You said you wanted to invite Baron Cyan to verify the performance of the inventions of magic before, right? I'm going to do you that favor!
”Like I said for sure...... eh now!? let me at least put a newsletter in the house once!? Your father will graduate even if Master Anis suddenly comes!!”
”So is that, okay. Then hurry up as fast as you can! Me, I'm going back to the Knights again! I'll see you later!
That's all I say, I slip through the sides of the two of them and head inside the outhouse. Go inside your workshop and take what you need from one end back to the entrance. And jump out as it is.
He waves to Ilia, who is holding his head with Raini, who remains flat, and runs vigorously towards the royal castle with all his might.
”... what is it? That.”
”It's been a long time since you've returned that destructiveness...”
I never heard Raini and Ilia talking like that.
Run, run. Just run as hard as you can. My heart beats and my breath goes up. But even that was comfortable and kicked the ground with momentum.
What arrived was a knight's practice area. I try to jump in towards the knights who were doing the archery there and land.
”Duh!?, Princess Anisphere!? What are you doing!?”
”Oh man! I'm sorry, this! Can you give it to the Knights Commander? Tell him you can let him go. Because this is all we have now!
”This is... what, this is Mana Blade that Master Anisphere used...?
”Yes! That's all I have now, so use it alternately, whether someone wins or not, until I give it to the Knights Commander! Of which, we'll have all the numbers! Oh, I'd be so glad to hear your thoughts on using them in the report if you like!
”Oh, hey!? Princess Anisphere!?”
”'Cause I'm going next! Sorry!”
I asked Tomas to become a technical adviser. I asked Baron Cyan to tell Raini that he wanted to invite me as a demon prop performance tester. Mana Blade came to the Knights for what she could put out in the current inventory.
I will sort out the cases I did with my fingerprints. The next thing you need to do is secure the Spirit Stone. I have some build-up, too, but that's not enough. You can't even buy up the spiritual stones of the market because there are people's lives.
Then can you accommodate the spiritual stones stored in the royal castle? Since that is within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, the next place to go shall be designated as the Ministry of Magic.
(I guess I'll see how Uffi is at last)
I haven't had a moment to talk to Yufi slowly because I'm moving to spread the word about the magic props. He had a face that didn't seem particularly problematic, but maybe he just didn't say anything because it was about Yufi.
I can't do anything for you to solve the problems of the Ministry of Magic. If there's anything I can do, I'd rather not get my hands on Yuffi's problem unless Yuffi wants it.... I might get a little impatient.
(I hope you're doing well.)
Stop running to the boulder where you came in front of the Ministry of Magic. Even you're in a position to inspire the Ministry of Magic, so you don't have to caress your nerves inadvertently, do you?
When I go straight into the Ministry of Magic building, I gather the gaze of the people who were inside. Hino, I think someone leaked a frightened voice. Who!? Who just reacted with such disrespect!?
Others are looking at me with their voices lurking. This is obviously not welcome. No, I'm not asking you to welcome me because I'm here all of a sudden!? I won't take anything and eat it!?
”Princess Anisphere!
”Hmm?... Oh, Marion!
It was Marion who spoke to me in that. Marion comes to my side on a small run. Then he smiles with a troubled bitterness and flaunts his shoulder.
”... you can often show your face to the Ministry of Magic without an appointment, you are”
”'Cause I was in a hurry? Lord Zildu has a favor to ask...”
”Were you... But don't imitate bad for your heart. But even now, the Ministry of Magic is tingling.”
Marion reminds me to pay attention as I dive into my voice and whisper.... Yeah, is that so magic ministry not good air?
When I had my doubts from that thought, Marion looked complicated. I think it says on my face, ”Give me a break.”
”... I wonder what the fuss is, are you again?
”Oh, Count Voltaire's son?
”... I don't mind Lang. With all due respect, Princess Anisphere. Would you mind behaving a little more as a royal, no, heir to your blood? Because the field will be confused by pranks.”
Laughing only at his face, Lang approaching, wrapped around an obviously grumpy aura. It's reprimand jumping out of your mouth. I flatter myself with it.
”I'm sorry about that. I'm just in a hurry, I want to talk to you as soon as I can...”
”Just because you're in a hurry doesn't mean it's okay to lose your respect as a royalty, does it? Why can't you learn something called shame?
... the words that I should have been able to flush usually came to my mind for some reason. Bum, and I think I heard something hang up.
”... you want that from me now? Mostly the Ministry of Magic didn't like me to be king, did it? This is a great opportunity to banish me from the royal family, isn't it? Then you should just say it, right? No magic of disqualifying royalty.”
I think the air in the field has cooled off at once. Lang's smile disappeared, and his face was all at once drawn to it.
... Shit. I've been cold on my head since I said that. My spine gets cold at once. I accidentally got blood on my head and my mouth slipped. He's the one I shouldn't totally say. This!
Even Marion is quietly shaking his head left and right. Can't you do any more? Yeah, there's something to tell you, Marion! I don't think it tastes good either!
”Hey...! What do you think, such as being told that?!?”
”... Ah, Princess Anisphere! Please calm down, Lang too!
Marion's breaking in between and trying to contain it, but I'm sorry. I'm a little upset! I'm so sorry! I also shut my mouth on the boulder.
The air is completely chilled out. This is disgusting. It was too fatal a rudeness. Right now, at least it wasn't a good dialogue I said in the Ministry of Magic. Ahhh, what do we do!?
”... What the hell is all this noise?
And the sound of it sounded good.
It was Yufi who threw a stone at the nervous air whilst sounding his shoes. Unexpectedly I pull my cheeks too. Ya suck......!
Yufi's mad! Totally against me!
”No, the, uh...”
”... anise”
I inadvertently stretch my spine. Yufi's eyes are staring at me with jito eyes...
