[Stop it.]
Flame Emperor Andersen Versando refreshed the atmosphere by urging Apprentice Siren Silivian and Wind Emperor Erin Campbell.
The flame emperor sighed lightly and looked at me again.
[The second thing I want to talk about is your purpose.]
“My purpose?”
[Why are you staying at the academy of the Gerber Empire? What are you assuming?]
When the apprentice spoke, it felt like a cutie newcomer to the senior citizen center.
When the Flame Emperor spoke again, the atmosphere suddenly changed like a solemn hearing.
“I want to go to the academy well.”
[Looks like you have no intention of talking.]
“It is not a lie. It’s not like I have bad feelings for you and hide something.”
I lifted my glasses once.
[There will be no good feelings. Are you saying you’re not going to tell us now?]
Although it was in the shape of a flame, I could feel the eyes glaring at me.
“I just need to know.”
It would be better not to talk deeply. It’s not because I didn’t build trust with the original kings. It feels like they don’t trust each other in the first place.
Of course, it would be perfect if I could recruit them as the strength of the Evil God Subjugation Force, but since I was a member of this meeting anyway, the future opportunity was on my side.
It would be premature to discard all of my cards already here.
[The question is different.]
A flame agent that withdraws meekly.
The reason they invited me to the Wonwang meeting in the first place was not to go against my heart. Even if they create unnecessary conflict with me, it will only harm them.
The Flame Emperor seemed unwilling to take such a risk.
[A series of demonic appearances that have occurred since last year, the Alice Carroll case, the Dorothy Hartnova runaway case… . You are the main person who solved all of those cases. Is it safe to say that preventing all such dangers is the reason you are staying at the academy?]
‘I turned around and asked.’
I nodded.
From noble mtl dot com
Not only what the Flame Emperor said, but I had already given a strong impression of taking the side of important people against the original kings during the 「Alice Subjugation Battle」.
Showing such an ordinary humanity also strengthens the reason why I want to stay at the academy.
[Then, did you foresee all the events that have happened so far?]
“that’s right.”
[Okay.]
I don’t know what kind of thinking their brains harbored.
Seeing as I just passed by, it seemed that they had no intention of questioning me unfavorably.
[Then let’s talk about the last, third story.]
[I was about to ask.]
The wind alter ego of Wind Emperor Erin Campbell intervened.
[There is something I want to talk to you about.]
“If that’s the case, come out and talk to me.”
[…] what?]
I’ve been concerned since before.
“You are here.”
There is space behind the pillar. there you are
[Psychological insight] doesn’t work for the King of Won. Even if a person like Pungje is hiding there, I can’t help but be scared because I can’t figure out what the plan is.
That’s why it was decided that it would be safer to make Pungje appear openly when the Wonwangs were gathered.
[Haa, it seemed like that for some reason… .]
Apprentice Siren let out a laugh.
[Right.]
[Hmm.]
The Thunder Emperor Zaul and the Flame Emperor Andersen looked at me. Rather than the fact that Pungje was here, he seemed more surprised that I had noticed it.
By the way, everyone sent their clones, so the existing mana sensing ability was not displayed. He wasn’t sure that Pungje would be here, he just expected it.
Were there any conversations between them?
[That’s quite right.]
Woo woo woo.
The image of a small girl made of pale green wind disappeared.
A woman with the appearance of a girl appeared from behind a dark pillar.
Dark green hair close to black. An eye patch over one eye. Dressed like a hunter, she looked at me with mysterious eyes full of wind magic.
“I manipulated the amount of magic power weakly to the limit. I thought I hid it perfectly… . That’s great.”
The woman who spat out compliments on me was Erin Campbell.
Achel was briefly surprised because she hadn’t noticed that Pungje was here, but she quickly covered her expression.
The reason why it was level 1 was because it hid the maximum amount of mana.
‘Have you taken into account the level of mana perception of the archmage?’
I just knew because the status window popped up.
For a moment, he calmly met his eyes.
‘But since when did he hide?’
It seemed clear that I had been in this mansion before I reached the Whiteclark dukedom.
If it wasn’t for that, I’d have figured it out sooner.
‘I think I came here expecting me to come today.’
In other words, you were monitoring my movements. out of my reach.
… I felt very gloomy.
[That’s shameful, Campbell. I also wanted to meet Bingje-nim in the real world… ! It’s selfish!]
“You’re only thinking of doing unwholesome things with Bingje, pedophile.”
[Uh, don’t swear, right? It can’t be, right?]
Pungje Erin Campbell looked at the apprentice with ax eyes and sat down in the seat where the wind alter ego was.
I asked Pungje.
“Why are you here?”
“I wanted to see you again in person, and I still doubted your abilities.”
Wind Emperor Erin Campbell fiddled with the hunter’s hat on her head.
“I’ve never seen you fight. All I saw was the results you showed. What I saw was you, who had much lower magic power than expected. Even though it was a situation where there was no need to manipulate the maximum amount of mana.”
very careful Doubting a certain situation once more?
“If you have that kind of mana perception, there’s no doubt about it.”
As a result, it was misunderstood in my favor.
it goes over
“so? What are you talking about?”
“Didn’t you deal with the Demon Army recently in the wilderness of the Gerber Empire?”
If it was a wasteland, it was about when they subdued the Demon King.
“How do you know?”
“I heard it by hearsay.”
“huh… ?”
What do you mean?
“I don’t think you understand what I mean. the wind is free You can go anywhere. I can hear what the wind sees and hears. It is easy to notice the strange things that happen in this world.”
“I see… .”
It doesn’t make sense, but when he said it, it sounded natural.
It has to be at that level to be able to pray… . It’s tough by Wonwang standards.
“Is the battle at that time related to the subjugation of the demons at Marchen Academy?”
“If yes?”
“I want to ask because the timing is very appropriate.”
Windje Erin Campbell asked with an emotionless face.
“I noticed that the fairies have been acting unusually lately. Do you think the cause is related to demons?”
The fairy was unexpected.
<Merchen’s Magic Knight> 2nd year 2nd semester part, 「Fairy War」.
The fairies who failed to stop the iron fairy Rachneil’s plans must have been conserving their strength to stop Rachneel. It was about time.
‘They knew that fairies moved too.’
In <Merchen’s Magical Knight>, there was no relationship between the “Fairy War” and the original king.
From noble mtl dot com
Naturally, the stage of the incident was the Gerber Empire. Perhaps the original kings were just watching to see if the kingdom coped well with the “Fairy Wars”.
In other words, it was impossible to seek help from the original kings to solve a scenario like 「Fairy Wars」 comfortably.
If I seek help, I will be using the original kings for my will. There’s no way they won’t notice that fact, so it’s never going to look good.
“I don’t know the specifics either. I am not omniscient either.”
“… … .”
Poongje seemed to see through my intentions, but he sighed and leaned his back against the back of the chair.
“Sorry.”
Pungje kept his mouth shut, leaving only one word.
… …
From noble mtl dot com
Nothing special happened after that.
The invitation, not my invitation, ended with the apprentice’s teasing, the flame emperor’s few questions to understand my humanity, and the thunder emperor’s and wind’s silence.
Everyone finished their greetings and removed their self-immolation, and only me, Pungje Erin Campbell, and Achel White-Clark remained in the round table conference room.
For a while, still. Achel waited for me silently without stepping out first.
I was about to say something, but I just stood up. He wasn’t close to Pungje, and he had no intention of becoming friendly with him, so there was no need to talk further. gotta go back now
“I’ll ask you one thing.”
Then, the wind spoke.
She got up from her chair and came towards me.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Fungje silently looked up at me in front of me.
He still had an emotionless expression like a wooden doll, but there was also a subtle seriousness in his eyes flowing with wind magic.
It seemed that he was trying to reveal the real reason why he had come here.
“what is your identity?”
It’s out of the blue. What is identity… . This is a frequently asked question due to the nature of the possessor, but suddenly here?
Fengze turned his gaze to my chest.
“Other guys would have known. There is something in you that shouldn’t be there.”
“know.”
“You know?”
The story of the unknown monster with many eyes was obvious from Dorothy. I know.
I don’t know what it is. Now, all I could think of was that it was most likely related to game developer Hicks.
“If you’re going to ask what that is, give up. Because I don’t know either.”
I passed through the wind.
At that moment, Pungje said.
“That’s the result Dorothy Hartnova was trying to be when she ran amok.”
“… … .”
My feet stopped.
It is difficult to manage facial expressions. Now, I couldn’t fully think about what I had heard.
He turned his head back and stared at the back of his head.
“You should know that Dorothy Hartnova became the second person in history to have starlight magic.”
According to records, there are two holders of starlight magic.
In this world, I came to know various knowledge. It was a content that did not appear in the <Merchen’s Magic Knight> setting book.
It was impossible to cover all the knowledge and history of this world in <Merchen’s Magic Knight>.
The records of those who made contracts with fairies also had nothing to do with the scenario.
That’s why I’ve been convinced that it’s a record that doesn’t need to be mentioned in the setting book.
“The type that handles a unique power rather than the power of a common element is called a fairy. All of them are unknown beings, but among them, the mysterious one is the star fairy Stella. A fairy who handles the power of starlight.”
Wind Emperor Erin Campbell turned her head to the side, but her face was not visible.
“The first holder of starlight magic suddenly disappeared one day. At that time, natural disasters hit the world. And the cause of Dorothy Hartnova’s runaway was probably because she abused her starlight magic. What do you think this means?”
“… … .”
“Stella… It may be a baby to eat. ”
Fungje turned his head towards me, but because of her blindfold, I couldn’t see his eyes.
“It was in that context that I asked about the strange movements of the fairies.”
“… … .”
“you… , Do you like Dorothy Hartnova? As a man versus a woman.”
“huh.”
“Then, aren’t you chasing the stars as well?”
“If that’s the case, there’s no need to say more.”
A star fairy who saved Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz.
In this chess game against the evil spirits, Dorothy made a sacrifice, and it was meant to be.
In other words, there was a high possibility that Stella, who gave Dorothy strength, was involved in the chess board.
If Gear survives this journey and reaches its destination.
Maybe I would be able to meet Stella.
“I think we will meet someday.”
I left those words and moved on. Fungje didn’t talk to me anymore.
Rachel bowed her head to me. I left the basement with her.
It was time to return to Marchen Academy.
