Chapter 106 – Before the Storm on the Floating Island
Haha. Let’s sit down.”
“Then excuse me.”
Gold’s father Gald called me.
Actually, I called it a few days ago, but it’s training, Ashitada.
It’s already the third call today, and I couldn’t ignore it any more as I was taking care of lodging and lodging.
“What did you call for?”
Haha. I’m sorry, Lord Dre. Were we supposed to call each other only when there was something to do?”
“…?”
Gold doesn’t just meet through work.
But Gald… Well. To be honest, we’re not close friends at all.
“Now, Lord Dre. I just want you to remember this…”
“?”
“We, the Hart family, are on the side of Lord Dre. Not only my son, but me and the Hart family. We will never touch or betray Lord Dre first!”
“Ah yes…”
What’s wrong with me Or did I do something that would make Gald cold and misleading?
I couldn’t figure out why I would hear this.
“Even if another teenage family persecutes Dregon because of his hidden power, it has nothing to do with us! Yes!”
“That’s right. It has nothing to do with other families.”
Why are you anxious?
Talking as if another teenage family would touch me.
…That’s what you’re talking about.
So, is Grise more likely?
The householder even came to see me in person.
Maybe it’s a teenage family I haven’t met.
By the way, did a person like the head of a teenage family call me out because he didn’t want to fight with me?
It may be because I think of my son who shows me quite a lot of favor.
Let’s reassure you.
“I also want to have a good relationship with the Hart family. I also trust Gold-sama.”
Haha, is that so? Our family is blessed! Haha!”
It must be acting, but he seems to be genuinely willing to laugh.
Is this the acting ability of a merchant and head of a huge family?
“Oh, look at my mind. I had something to tell you.”
“Are you going to tell me?”
“You do know that there is a magic spell that disables the special power of strangers throughout the floating island, right?”
“Yes. That’s right…”
Gald narrowed his face as if it were a secret, then put a hand over his mouth and said.
“To be precise, it is not that perks are unconditionally unavailable, it is a method of limiting perks based on on-the-spot judgment by multiple people taking charge of jurisdictions.”
“…Yes?”
Gald smiled at my questionable reaction and continued.
“They are instructors, and the principal of Pryunar Academy gave them permission.”
It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, and it’s an unexpected story.
I can only guess at the point of telling this story to me.
Gald doesn’t know that I have no perks, or that I’m in an ambiguous state.
Perhaps, if there is a need to use a privilege, it would be a story to use the privilege by dismissing the person in charge of the district or by agreeing…
As expected, the only way to use the perks is to fight.
What comes to mind is the coming of the Demon King that Kaitsu warned about. Or it was about Almiraz, which the system window warned about.
While I was thinking, Gald smiled and continued.
“Actually, principal. He alone could control the entire floating island, but the reason he dared to give the authority was for the instructors’ sense of privilege and fine coordination.”
“A fine tune?”
“Why? Healing or repairing strangers have to come and use the perks, but wouldn’t it be too inefficient for each one to ask the principal for permission?”
“Yes.”
Mana suddenly gathered in Gald’s hand.
I didn’t feel any hostility, so I stared at him, and he pretended to throw something into the air.
Paaah.
Mana spread, and soon a list appeared in the air.
“This is the list of those in charge of the district.”
“…”
“I wrote it down on this ring, so please look at it whenever it’s convenient.”
Gald clears the empty list and hands over the ring to me.
Strangely, as soon as I received it, I knew how to use it.
“How to use… Uh.”
Gald was slightly surprised when I reached out into the air and made a list.
For some reason, I felt cold sweat running down my cheeks.
“You’re so tough, as expected. Haha.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Aha… That… Have you met the reporter?”
“I’m a reporter… Ah. Vice-principal?”
“Yes, that’s right. You told me you would visit Lord Dre sooner or later.”
Why do you sympathize with me?
Could it be that he came to find out that he took Frostia with him…?
“Ah, of course it’s not strange. He’s kind of… Talented.”
“Talent?”
“Should I say that being a teacher is a vocation. Anyway, when you look at a brilliant gemstone, you can’t get it right unless you process it nicely. In fact, he has a great track record.”
“I hear he’s a great man.”
I’m sure we’ve talked about the ranks of wizards before.
Warlock.
Low speed.
Pleon.
Egula.
Emrepes.
As a reporter, the consensus is that he is in a position somewhere between Emrepes, which is the highest rank and honorary position, and Egula, which is the actual highest rank of magician.
The current wizard rank is Egula, but discussions are under way to raise the rank to Emrepes.
He has all kinds of authority, and his influence is so great that it is said that he is a human being that is said to be equivalent to a powerful country.
But I didn’t care because he said he was a guy, but he showed interest in me?
“I’m guessing we’ll meet to say something nice. He’s the security manager of Fryu Nar Academy and the general manager of the instructors, but he leaves most of the matters to the instructors’ discretion.”
As I looked worried, Gald hurriedly brought up the next topic.
“Oh, right. Do you know that other than that, the hero, Kaitsu, issued an official letter?”
“An official notice?”
“Yes. I asked for help from the teenage family to stop the demon king…”
After Gald said a few more stories.
From the story of Kaitsu asking for cooperation, to the story of which knights from which family are deployed and where the knights from the teenage families will patrol at the start of the festival.
The floating island is actually not a single island but a group, so it is said that if you have permission, you can disassemble the island at will.
All of them were bland stories, but there was also some good information.
The Hart family’s theater company performing in the center, the location of the street food stalls gathered from all over the world, the time of the fireworks display, the best place to go, the festival event schedule, etc…
To be honest, I was more attracted to the second half of the story than the first one.
If you take Ashita to a fun place such as a festival or performance, explain it properly, and apologize, she’ll feel better.
Besides, Ashita isn’t my girlfriend, but she would be in the mood for a date.
I bowed my head in a low position with Gald, who came out in a low position until the end, and left the room.
It wouldn’t be a favor without reason.
Maybe the teenage family, most likely Grize, is going to say something to me, and tell me how to hold on with my strength.
…Could that prudent-looking family head of Gryze really be like that?
Couldn’t it be Gald’s misfortune?
I didn’t see Leo as someone who would move so recklessly.
Beep.
“Hmm.”
The magic communicator rang.
It was a so-called smado that was given only to academy students.
It’s rubbish compared to smartphones in the original world, but in the fantasy world, it’s still a means to communicate with distant opponents without much magic.
The distance is short and the number of people who can register is small, but where is this?
Currently, only Mayal is registered on my communicator, so it is only for Mayal now.
Something is offended.
“Mayall.”
[Dreat! Did you sleep well?]
“Yes. I slept very well.”
[It’s a holiday, so you woke up early? Lol.]
It’s 8:00 in the morning now.
I answered while watching the warm sunlight penetrate the glass and linger under his feet.
“Is it early…?”
[Huh? Drett doesn’t answer at this time, right?]
Huh? I tend to wake up early. Have you ever called at this time?
It’s easy to ask.
But then, what if Mayyal gets angry because she didn’t call her even though she was awake?
Of course, I don’t think Mayal will get upset easily, but I’ll be very embarrassed if she confesses that I didn’t get it because I was just indifferent, and she gets angry like Ashita.
Humans are evolving creatures. Me too.
Let’s turn the subject.
“Where can I see you?”
[Didn’t Drett say he had business this morning? See you at the witch’s house run by Instructor Emily during lunch!]
A familiar cafe name.
I also like places where the desserts are delicious and the cats are full of loveliness.
“Okay. But…”
As she blurted out her words, May Yal quickly responded.
[Asita says she will join us for dinner!]
“That’s right.”
We had a festival together, so it’s dinner?
I don’t think there will be an easy reconciliation.
She hung up her smart sword and this time went to the front door.
There, there was an angel waiting with his hands folded.
Maid outfit Lena!
“The preparations are complete, sir.”
The moderation of the greeting showed a precociousness that could hardly have been thought of as an age that had just entered school.
The Hart Street maids had tipped me off.
While you’ve been away from me for over two weeks, you’ve tried to learn etiquette, knowledge, and housekeeping in general, and you’ve achieved great results, so look forward to it.
The maids’ eyes were filled with pride and love for Lena.
Truly, he is a well-loved child.
It’s amazing, Lena.
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes, teacher.”
As promised yesterday, we decided to go to the festival after stopping by Pryunar Academy.
Lena refused, saying that the academy alone was an honor, but she couldn’t break my stubbornness.
I moved to the floating island by the route I was used to.
It was quite enjoyable to see Lena, her eyes shining bright, even if she did not express the magical sight of the warp gate and the floating island she had never seen before.
After walking slowly and looking around the floating island to her heart’s content, she came to Pryu Nar Academy.
“This is Pryunar Academy…!!”
“…”
What Lena was looking at was the same as the one I saw last time.
He was thinking of one magical engineering campus as the entire academy.
Cute
“Lena.”
“Yes, teacher.”
I hugged Lena’s waist as she answered confidently.
Oh… He carefully hugged Lena, who groaned, with one side of her supporting her thigh and the other holding her back, holding her tight in her arms.
“Sir. Other people may misunderstand.”
An adult cool reaction to this situation. I don’t know what kind of education I received, but I wanted to embarrass you a little…
Good night. I will destroy that maturity.
Fluffy.
Reminds me of my body
“…! Teacher. Magic?!”
“I can only rise to the top, though.”
I learned it not for convenient movement, but to examine the surrounding situation.
You won’t know until later, but that’s all for now.
It floats up and rises without rest.
The ground became smaller and the wind blew harder and harder.
Even so, Lena, who is not intimidated and stands firm, is fucking amazing.
As for me, I was a bit scared even though I was a caster…
At that time.
Keying.
I got a strange feeling in my stomach.
A feeling similar to that experienced when arriving at the gates of the capital for the first time.
I think it’s probably detection magic, but is it possible that the use of floating magic is prohibited…?
…
I can see it soon and go down quickly.
I hurriedly climbed upwards.
Meanwhile, Lena realized her intentions.
“Whoaaaaa…!”
Finally, a childlike exclamation came out.
Her eyes are down to the ground.
It contained the entire Prunar Academy.
…So did I.
Come to think of it, it was also the first time I saw the whole academy.
In addition to each campus of magic and combat, there are quite a few large buildings that are difficult to describe as small.
That’s supposed to be a dormitory… That’s Grandpa Blut’s and the Igula’s lab. Then what is it?
What about that old-fashioned palace-like mansion?
That mansion stood out because it was quite a heterogeneous building style among the many unusual buildings of the Fryunar Academy.
I wonder if Lena thought the same, she looked at me and carefully asked a question.
“Sir. What purpose is the palace for?”
“…”
“Teacher…?”
Now that I’m talking about it, I want Lena to be comfortable with me.
However, after wearing the maid uniform, instead of being comfortable, she is becoming more and more polite.
It’s not a bad thing to be polite… But it hurts my heart to be respectful.
It’s like treating others!
But if this is a life skill that Lena has acquired to make herself a place to be, then this dad will accept…
That moment.
I got a very weak feeling, and I immediately opened my eyes sharply and looked behind me.
There is something huge and transparent behind it.
Soon after, a voice came out.
“That palace is my home.”
“…”
Although she is silent, Lena can feel the surprise.
It’s worth it, aside from the fact that the voice was heard in the empty air, this place is far from the sky.
“Who are you.”
“You’re sharper than I’ve ever seen before? Talent and hard work are the icing on the cake.”
“…”
It is clearly an old voice, but the way it speaks is strangely reminiscent of a young person. That too…
…Are you mistaken?
“Sissha.”
Any thought that was about to come to mind was interrupted by the old man’s pain, and something transparent revealed its outline.
That’s huge…
“Fish?”
“Hmm? It’s the first time you’ve heard of a shallow language, are you Dre-kun?”
He is a grandfather with a crooked back that looks like he might collapse at any moment.
He used a cane and had gray hair and lots of wrinkles.
However, those strangely shaped eyes and powerful energy were telling me that he was not the culprit.
…No, he appeared from the sky with a fish the size of a house, but he must not be the culprit.
“Isn’t it too beautiful to be called a fish?”
I understand what you are saying.
Overall, it has the shape of a fish, but its eyes are sharply slit, a jewel is embedded in its forehead, and its body emits a white light that even feels sacred.
In addition, it was scattering powder containing magical power.
Honestly, I think I would have believed it even if it was a holy water somewhere.
But.
“It’s beautiful, but it still looks like a fish.”
Haha. It’s hard for Seongsu.”
…Is it really holy water?
It’s not the Five Great Gods… Is it? It seems that there are many types of sacred animals besides the five divine beasts.
“By the way, you’re so close, how did you take a good look at the overall outline?”
“…”
As he said, the fish was right in front of my nose.
No one with normal vision would have been able to tell what form this holy water took.
I am a sharp person
“Did you feel it?”
“Who are you?”
I asked again.
Ready to launch at any time.
“He’s the one in charge of the academy’s sky. Did you come back because there was something that got caught?”
“…Ah.”
Head of the academy.
It is a story of an employee like me.
“Excuse me. I wanted to see the ground for a moment…”
“I understand. Normally, if I confirm that I am not an intruder, I will just pass by, but I am curious because I am resolute even though it is clear that I have grasped my detection magic.”
“Aha…”
It was only a few tens of seconds ago, but where the hell did he detect that and bring such a monster?
“Excuse me, what is your title?”
“Umm… There are several, but if I had to pick the most famous ones, there would be two.”
“…”
“One is a lecturer like you, and the title of the other is, Vice Principal. That’s what they’re called.”
Also. Was the principal teacher.
Finally, seeing your face.
“…You’re a journalist…!!”
“Hey, are you a reporter?!”
Lena exclaims and blushes…?!
Lena…?
This daddy got pretty cool by training his body, right?
Even though I didn’t even compliment you, how could you do that to a grandpa like that…?
The impression that I had met the best person in this world disappeared in an instant, and I felt sorry for Lena…
But. Reporter Lee narrowed the distance.
It’s not on my side, but on Lena’s side.
“Vice principal?”
I pulled Lena toward me, vigilantly.
“Huh… This is…”
Immediately after a voice full of interest and lust. The reporter’s face contorted.
It was a smile, but to be honest, to me, it was just bizarre, as if the doll imitated human laughter.
“…”
Maybe Lena had the same impression, but she was speechless for a moment.
“…Ah, excuse me. I’ve seen brightly shining talents.”
“…Field?”
“Hmm? Don’t you know?”
Reporter Yire’s eyes were not on me, but on Lena.
“Yes. I’d better hide it for now. At least until the festival is over.”
“What else is that…”
“This festival is going to be very violent. Heh heh heh.”
“…”
Hmm. It has been concluded.
Bad mood grandpa.
Blut Halbuji is a normal human being with a rough temper, but he is a race that should not be involved.
In the future, avoid it if possible.
Pyororong!
…?
…
…
…?
Sir?
Isn’t it? I heard the notification window scaring me to think that it was the person I thought it was.
[Tteok-tteok simulation activated!]
No, no.
It’s not real. Fuck you bastard
It’s been a while since I wanted to appear, so what the hell is it?
Whether I did it or not, the tteok-tteok simulation produced shocking results.
…By the way, I’m normal.
Really.
