140 Another Story: Cursed Lady Speaks Out 01 (1/2)
Magic City Anisphere.
It is a city under construction, taking the name of Anisphere Wynn Palettia, the current queen's sister-in-law, as the princess who created magic.
This story is an act in the City of Magic, where Anisphere, the Lord of the City of Magic, is no longer present.
”Huh? Can't Master Anis come back for a while?
In a somewhat grumpy voice, it was Tilty who replied to Charne, who had brought his reward from the King's Capital. Tilty is loaded with documents, and next to her, Priscilla organizes and subdivides the documents.
Tilty bought a surrogate and left while Anisphere was away. But she basically hates caged people. Work progresses extraordinarily slowly compared to anisphere on boulders.
Besides, there are documents that cannot be processed without Anisphere returning because they are only surrogates. So Tilty's job is to have Priscilla divide the documents that can be judged by her own authority, and she can only scrutinize their contents.
If there is an urgent case, Priscilla is supposed to head to Wang Capital, but so far no such documents have come around.
”Staying in the king's capital is another problem?
”No, I have to stay in Wang Capital for a while at the Magic Birthday meeting...”
”Magic Birthday...... oh, that one. Could it have been a festival to celebrate magic?
”Oh, I didn't know Master Tilty knew.”
”I don't like it, but I can hear it, if it's that big a festival.”
Priscilla comes mixed up in conversation like she teases Tilty. Tilty replies with her nose ringing, wondering if she cares about the teasing.
The festivals held in the Wang capital have grown in scale and flourished in recent years. That cut would definitely be at a festival that spread demonic props.
The festival, which made known the convenience of the magic props and performed the aerial circular dance, is still the storytelling grass of the people of the King's capital. Since then, the aerial circular dance between Anisphere and Uphilia has never been performed, but instead the Knights have become routinely seen using air bikes.
It made the people look forward to the future and invigorate it. It is the magic birthday that is expected to increase its vitality even further.
”But I thought you said that Magic Birthday was pretty much nothing to do with Anis?
”It seems that Emperor Lukeheim of the Aylene Empire would like to attend the Magic Birthday Festival. Maybe he won't be able to come back at work with the final confirmation of the Devil's Sword to be presented to the Emperor.”
”Wow, that's a pain in the ass... well, Master Anis works for you too”
Tilty sighed as she said it was bothersome. His face hidden in a thin, clear black veil still frowns at this. Charne could only reply with an ambiguous bitterness to such a Tilty appearance.
Then Tilty silences herself for a moment to think of something. And when I looked up, I shrugged like this.
”Huh. Then you can do whatever you want for a while...... Hey, Charne?
”Yes?”
”Stay with me for a while. I'm tired of paperwork.”
”Eh.”
When the sun went down and the construction of today's city was over. In one of the rooms of the city government were those gathered by Tilty. Charne, Priscilla, and Monica.
Monica usually seems to be concerned about Charne and Priscilla, who aren't really face-to-face, and she's turned her gaze several times. That makes Charne feel so uncomfortable because it's the same.
”All right, you've gathered. Then I'll start class.”
Tilty, looking over at the gathered faces, says as he slaps his hand and draws attention. Charne, who remained flushed by the strength of his push, resolutely raised his hand.
”... Um, Dear Tilty”
”What?”
”Classes, why even me and Mr. Priscilla...?
Charne also knew Tilty was doing magic tricks on Monica. But I just don't understand why you and Priscilla are involved in it.
Tilty sighs at this sight on Charne's question. And he replies with a lazy voice about how far the push went earlier.
”You didn't go to college, did you?
”Yeah, well...”
Charne went up to the royal castle as a samurai before going to the college, and Priscilla has not attended the college either. Even Monica, who was a former orphan, deserves no chance of getting an education at the Aristocratic College.
”You guys can use magic, but you're not properly educated. That's why I'm telling you to fill that hole. I'd rather be thankful.”
”Why? Regardless of Monica, it seems like it would never be an easy job for Tilty to take care of us.”
Pale Priscilla asks Tilty. I can't even tell you how adorable I am to flatter you, Tilty. I don't even know why she takes on the role of teacher, even if she hates people.
If it's still Monica, I know. Because her growth will lead to more efficient construction of magic cities. This time, both parties were wondering why Charne and Priscilla were involved.
Tilty replies to such a Priscilla inquiry with a sigh of relief.
”This is still part of the magic bureau. In the future, I will spare no effort if it leads to something for us. It's not good for me to stay halfway through you.”
”Is that half...”
”Hmm. I was just about to tap Monica into the meaning of the class, and I'm just going to tell her to wrap it up and give her a class. Shall we start there? Okay, Monica?
”Yes, sir”
Monica, whose name was called by Tilty, shook her shoulders and stared straight at Tilty.
”What is magic?
”Magic… is something that has the power of the Spirit to manifest itself in the form of magic”
”That's the point. Although there are various opinions and arguments that have arisen as a result of the various statements made by Ennis, it would be fine if the minimum perception had been achieved. Okay, next. Charne.”
”Yes, sir”
”What is magical aptitude?
”Eh, magical aptitude is the type of magic that a person can use… affinity with a compatible spirit”
”Great. So, Priscilla, can the number of magical aptitudes be increased acquired?
