Chapter 126 – Invitation From the University Magic Tower
Three days later.
Deham Mansion.
Podeudeuk- Podeudeuk-
After cleaning the window, the elf took a step back and smiled softly.
Seeing the windows cleaned so cleanly that my face could be seen through, I felt proud for some reason.
Perhaps it was because she had served as a maid in the mansion for quite some time, but these days she used to feel pleasure in such petit bourgeois acts.
It took less than a second to use magic, but it gave me a strange sense of accomplishment to solve a problem using my body.
The elf, who checked every nook and cranny of the window rolling his eyes, shook his hand in satisfaction.
‘This is the end.’
Since he had done everything the chief of staff told him to do, the afternoon work was over. Now return the bucket and hand mop to the supply cabinet and free time. In other words, he could have a good time talking to Theorard.
It wasn’t clear whether Theorard would consider it a ‘fun time’, but anyway.
‘Let’s go soon…….’
The elf holding the bucket hesitated. A witch was flying on a broomstick outside the window.
Landing in the front yard on a gentle flight, the witch took out a letter from her bag her slung over her shoulder her. The witch then checked the address written on her letter her and the address written on the outside of the mailbox, and then put her letter her in the mailbox.
After finishing her chores, the witch gets back on her broomstick and flies back the way she came. The elf who was watching her behind her opened the front door and came out and headed for the mailbox.
There wasn’t any particular reason. It was because I was just wondering what letter had come.
Kiik-
When I open the mailbox, I see a letter lying there. As the elf pulled out the letter, wondering who had sent it, the elf frowned at the familiar seal.
‘Imperial University Mage Tower…….’
The spire stamped on the sealing wax sealing the letter was the seal symbolizing the university mage tower. Thanks to that, the elf couldn’t shake off his doubts.
‘Why did the University Magic Tower send a letter to Theorard?’
Did Theorard have anything to do with the University Mage Tower? As she pondered, the elf remembered the artificial rain magic she had perfected the other day.
If Roylen, a full professor at the university Mage’s Tower, reported the completion of magic to the upper level, it was a natural step for the Mage’s Tower to show interest in Theorad.
“…….”
Not a very good feeling. There’s no way the University Magic Tower invited Theo Rad with pure intentions.
But if you don’t respond to the invitation, things will get more complicated. I guess I’ll have to deliver the letter to Theorard…….
It was when the elf was examining the front and back of the letter with a blank face.
“Can’t you take a look at it?”
A sad voice comes from behind. Looking back at her, Vaynon was holding a handful of chocolates from her feet in her in one hand, raising the corners of her mouth.
How do you feel good The elf, who had been looking Bainun up and down her, replied sullenly.
“I know.”
“It’s enough to know.”
Silence for a while. Her awkwardness persists as Baynon cracks a piece of her chocolate and puts it in her mouth her.
Well well. Baynon chews the chocolate a few times in her mouth and swallows it whole. Then she cracks another piece of chocolate and puts it back into her mouth her.
The elf, who was dumbfounded by that, looked at it rather pathetically, and she handed one of her chocolates to the elf, as if Beinan would understand.
“Eat one too. There’s a lot of chocolate anyway.”
She didn’t refuse. The elf who received her chocolate suddenly felt something strange and looked up at her beannon her.
“By the way, knight. Why did you bring so many chocolates from Balgeum?”
“Yes? Ahaha!”
Baynon shakes her hand as he shrugs her shoulders and bursts out laughing at her. Tears welled up in her eyes her, as if the current situation was amusing.
“I’m not doing this because I’m a pig, so don’t get me wrong. Her grandpa kept annoying me, so I came out with everything to tease her.”
“Are you Grandpa?”
“To you, he is the chamberlain. Well, anyway, I forgot chocolate in the drawing room, and I’m telling you to stop eating, isn’t it? Bocchannim allowed me to eat as much as I wanted, but a third person nagging me would make me feel better.”
Tsk tsk. Beinen, who blatantly clicked her tongue, shrugged her shoulders once.
“So, in front of grandpa’s eyes, I brought everything in the drawing room and came out. You should be looking for me with your eyes on by now.”
“…… Isn’t that embezzlement?”
“Puh. Can I eat all of this? Don’t worry, I’ll put it back in its place once I’ve messed with Grandpa.”
Did they say that a man can never get out of his childhood his? He had nothing to say as he was playing childish pranks on people of his age.
“Ah. By the way.”
Vaynon stroked her chin with her supposedly serious expression.
“I think the young master is sick, so why don’t you take care of him while delivering the letter?”
“Yes? Master is ill?”
“It doesn’t hurt too much. Yesterday, he worked late into the night to prepare for pests and diseases that might strike the farm, then went to sleep, but when he woke up, he seemed to have caught a cold and was not feeling well.”
That’s why I didn’t see any nose plucking today. I thought you were avoiding me as usual. He was an elf who felt resentful when he thought Theorad was sick.
“Maybe it’s because my grandpa and I told him to stay in bed today, so he’s resting well, but he’ll be less bored if he has a friend to talk to. The Bocchan also likes you.”
The last word was an obvious misunderstanding. The elf calmly nodded, not wanting to hear it.
“Yes. I’ll make sure to take care of the master.”
“Thank you for that. Then I’m leaving. If grandpa finds me, tell him he didn’t see it.”
Tapping her elf on the shoulder, Vaynon took her steps toward her wall her. She seemed to have her intention of her, perhaps, that she would circle the mansion and she would enter through her back door in the backyard.
By the time Bainen had turned the corner and disappeared from her sight her, Harvey had spurred through the front door of her mansion and strode forward with a flushed face.
“Have you not seen Bainen?”
It is more direct than usual. The elf, who had a rough understanding of the situation, pointed towards her wall.
“He walked over there.”
“Thank you for being honest. Bainen just…… !”
Harvey, who raised her arms, huffed and followed in her Beynon’s footsteps her.
Oh yeah…… If it was peaceful, it was a peaceful daily life.

“Master?”
The elf opened her door and peered inside. The room, in which antique furniture was harmoniously arranged, was delicate and classy enough to be called aristocratic.
Is it the second time today to come to Theorade’s room? Muttering, the elf looked around and moved her gaze to the bed in pursuit of Theo Rad. We see Theorard, who is breathing heavily, with her towel resting on her forehead on her.
‘Does it hurt a lot?’
It’s just that I caught a cold. It seemed that the body was weak.
The elf, who had been watching her for some time, walked towards Theorard with her letter to her.
“Master. A letter came from the university magic tower…….”
But no answer. Theorard was still breathing heavily.
The elf stopped her steps by the bed, placed her letter on the drawer and gently bent her knees. The image of Theorard in pain is captured in his red eyes.
Watching it makes me feel uncomfortable. The elf, wanting to do something for the toy not to break it, put his hand on the towel.
‘…… It’s cold.’
It looked like David had just changed the towel. If so, there’s nothing you can do about it now.
I wanted to use healing magic to get rid of my cold, but I wondered if it was too much of an overkill when it wasn’t a disease that was wandering between life and death.
‘Should I just leave?’
There’s nothing to do, so what’s the point of staying there? I had no interest in watching faces moaning in pain.
After thinking, the elf was about to stand up, but Theo Rad frowned and raised his hand.
“Do not go…”
Along with unfamiliar honorifics, the lifted hand floats in the air as if caught in a net. Theorard’s breathing quickened slightly.
“Father. Do not go…”
Maybe he’s having a nightmare about the day Wellian passed away. The drool talk was strangely realistic, so I couldn’t leave it.
The elf looked down at the struggling Theo Rad and recalled his past his.
‘Once upon a time, when I had a nightmare…….’
Theorard was standing next to him. So this is just the answer. The elf raised a slender hand and grabbed Theorad’s hand. Then, Theorard’s complexion became more comfortable.
“Father….”
With a fading voice, Theorard lightly grabbed the elf’s hand and pulled it. There was no strength in his grip, but he could tell that Theorard was relying on the other person.
‘Maybe they mistake me for my father.’
Looking at the tightly held hands, there was no sign of them falling.
Well, since Theorard lost his mother when he was very young, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his father, Wellion, raised him alone.
Wellian, who was an affectionate father, passed away from a sudden illness, so the shock must be great.
Although he has grown up and taken on the responsibilities of head of the household, Theo Rad’s feelings for his father will still remain in his childhood.
“…….”
The elf, fully understanding Theo Rad’s heart his, held his hand tightly without saying a word.

On the other hand, the Turbulent Director’s Office of Weaving.
“I… Chairman?”
Paras looked at Director Weedra with a stunned face. While she was writing her graduation thesis, she was frightened when the chairman of the board suddenly called.
However, the chairman of the board was not very interested in Paras. She puts on her new robe she recently bought and her puffy witch’s hat tucked down on her head her, above Ledra, strikes a pose as she looks in the mirror.
The pose was reminiscent of her model, but it was only there when the small Wee Ledra acted as her brainchild her.
She seemed not to be aware of it, and after a long fashion show, she looked back at Paras proudly.
“What do you think?”
“Yes? What are you talking about……”
“This is a costume that is popular among witches working in the system, how about it? I bought one for a lot of money.”
Certainly, looking at the luxurious accessories attached here and there, it seemed expensive.
However, I don’t think it fits very well. Paras, who was hesitant, eventually decided to choose ‘social life’.
“Wow, wow…… ! It suits you really well! A total superstar! No, more than that!”
“Okay? Is that enough?”
“Yes, yes…… ! Amazing, Great. Dressing up is no joke!”
“Whoops.”
Weedra’s eyebrows dance up and down. I know it’s an excessive compliment, but I hate to deny it. Weedra, who was looking at her paras her with her smirk, nodded her head in satisfaction.
“Great. Pass.”
“Yes? What?”
“I was going on a business trip to the university magic tower, and I needed an assistant. I called because I wanted to take you. You are the one who personally saw the Witch of Black Flames.”
“A college mage tower?”
Paras’s eyes widened. It’s not as good as the church, but the relationship between the university mage tower and the witch academy isn’t very good.
Because whenever there was a magical exchange, there would be frequent fights due to differences in opinion. The battle of spirits between the two proud groups was well known even to those who were not interested in magic.
But to think that the head of the academy is on a business trip to the university’s mage tower. Since she could n’t understand at all, she was wandering around, so Weedra took out a letter from her arms to her and opened it.
At the end of her long letter, the seals of the Imperial Family and the University Magic Tower were stamped.
“Okay. He wanted to talk about the Black Flame Witch at the Magic Tower. Besides, Princess Benelia wants to see me in person, too? Is there any reason not to go?”
“Hwa, did the princess ask to see you too?”
Redra, who had captured her letter her and put it in her arms her, smiled.
“Since the war with the Demon Lord is drawing near, it must be that you want to borrow a cat’s hand. We have nothing to lose, so just listen to the story and come.”
What is war again…… ? As her paras her froze, Weedra turned her around and looked into her full-length mirror her.
“You never know.”
After inspecting her own clothes her one last time, Ledra spoke her words her tearfully.
“Maybe we can meet the Black Flame Witch there.”
