Chapter 73 – Weapons(1)
“Do you know me?”
A maid called Elzain asked Bien.
“Oh that..”
Bien was speechless for the first time in a long time.
She couldn’t find anything to say.
As she struggled for a while, Elza asked first.
“..Do you have any problems?”
There were many problems.
Stachis went into the Nisty Mansion, saying he was going to a meeting.
There was some connection between Elsaine and the Nisthi family.
To find out, I asked if I knew Elsaine,
He knows that Elzain is one of the maids in front of her eyes.
Well then, she was wearing plain clothes and stuck next to Starchis.
I couldn’t tell who the pink-haired bitch was.
The great premise is shaken.
Did Stachis lie?
Before she could finish her thoughts, Gwyn, the butler, felt a strange current.
“..Why is that?”
He was very wary of Bien.
Instinctively, he seemed to notice that Vienne was trying to pry something out of her.
Bien hastily comes up with an excuse.
“…Ah, that… I’ve heard that name from Stachis before…”
Guin casts a suspicious glance.
But before this atmosphere develops further
Helen and Hian refreshed the atmosphere.
“Come on, how are you? I said I’d answer my questions, but I didn’t ask why I was asking that question. Stop it.”
“Bien? You should go back to your seat now.”
Hian stopped Guin,
Helen protected Bien.
At the words of the family head, Gwyn moved his gaze back to the papers.
And Bien and Elzain went back to their respective places.
Bien is again drawn into a world of her own.
She thinks
Starchis wasn’t lying.
If he wasn’t lying… Most likely he was.
The person who has pink hair and labels himself as El Jain
In reality, there is a high probability that it is not Elsaine.
He probably impersonated that maid.
She must have come to Stachis under a false name and seduced him.
He would have shaken people by using his favor.
Back.
Bien secretly grabbed the hem of her dress.
Do you think his innocence and sincerity are being trampled on?
Even Bien’s heart ached.
A strange year has come to Starchis, who has longed for love so much.
Tricked him, shook him.
Blind by Stachis, Vienne thought so.
Then, suddenly, a question that is still unanswered comes to mind.
Then why did Starchis go to the Nisty Mansion?
It is a place where a maid with the name Elza proudly resides.
The mansion is the place the pink-haired woman who introduced herself as Eljain would most like to go.
It would be the easiest place to catch Starchis’ lies.
Why did she invite Stachis to the house?
It felt stuffy, like a stone was placed on her chest.
Clearly, something else is hidden.
Until you figure it out, it will be hard to get to the truth.
But now, it was clear that Stachis’ love relationship was not normal.
I still needed more time to organize my thoughts.
****
Starchis was on his way to Lily’s house.
I was a little distraught.
The day before, she was fine until she went fishing and had a carefree time,
When she arrived at the lodging, a letter had arrived.
The letter was about the level of the sword monkey.
The news that the monster received an A-level evaluation.
Officially, Party Barefoot became a party that captured Class A monsters.
It was good until there.
What followed was from Marshall.
It was his brother’s party, Ade, who went on a mission to rescue the A-class party.
Normally, I wouldn’t have worried, but this time Russ was there.
When she thought about whether Russ would have followed the request, she had no choice but to follow.
Swordsman Monkey was rated A.
Upon receiving the A-class verdict, Russ was supposed to follow the Ade party.
When I heard the story of the inn lady, she said it was a letter that came in the morning.
It was late in the evening when Stachis received the letter,
She wondered if she would have made a comeback, and Russ wondered if she had been there without any problems, so she visited the Ade base.
…They didn’t come back.
Originally, those who return early did not return until that time.
Seira told Stachis that there are times like this to reassure him, but
Starchis could see the anxiety in her eyes.
When I visited this morning, the situation was the same.
Seira was wondering if she couldn’t fall asleep,
Her fingernails were broken.
It was rare that it took that long.
Starchis was starting to worry not only about Russ, but also about his brother.
“…After…”
In this situation, he was visiting Lily’s house.
You have to believe that you will come back well.
-Smart smart
He knocked on Lily’s door and calmed her down.
He told me that it would be difficult to feel mana in a confused mood.
There was nothing in my mind that could help.
– Udang-tang-tang!
The sound of someone moving quickly is heard in the dorm.
I was puzzled.
And jump! And the door slams open.
Lily came out and slammed the door again.
“…Sister?”
Lily, who quickly closed the dorm door and came out,
She realizes that she has been caught between Stachis and the door.
“Ah.. Um..”
Then he regained her composure and brushed her hair.
Her embarrassed expression disappears and she returns to her decadent beauty.
“Who’s inside you?”
Stachis asks.
Lily answered with a bite on her lips.
“Swing. My master is here.”
“Master?”
Lily had the opportunity to hear about her mentor several times.
Even through those few times, Lily’s impression of her teacher was able to be sorted out.
A person who has literally devoted his entire life to magic, and who will.
For him, she would do anything she could.
She’s curious, but impatient, and she’d thought Lily would be hard to deal with.
“Why is Master suddenly here?”
“…Actually, I asked for help with hand rehabilitation.”
Starchis is in a place he doesn’t know
I am grateful to Lily for her hard work.
“… Are you here because of me?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“I should say thank you.”
Starchis puts his hand on the doorknob.
“Ah! Now, wait a minute Starchis!”
“Your sister?”
“That… You already know, but I don’t know how my master will behave.”
“…Yes.”
“That’s right, Starchis. I’m sorry, but would you like to go back today?”
Think for a moment,
Starchis judged that it was rather good.
It seemed that he would not be able to calm down anyway until Russ and Ade’s party members returned.
It seemed like it would be easier to go back to the base of the Aid Party and wait for them with Seira.
“… Is that so?”
Lily put on an apologetic look.
“… I’m sorry, really… “
“But you came because of me, so shouldn’t you say hello?”
“Ah. No way! …I really don’t know where I’m going to jump.!.”
“…Okay?”
“…Again… I’m so sorry…”
She couldn’t keep up with her
Starchis wondered why he was so sorry.
“No. Master, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Spend your time quietly. Actually, I also have concerns.”
“Yes? What’s going on?”
Starchis didn’t want to give Lily bad news about Russ or her own brother.
They will come back
The only thing that makes you feel uncomfortable is yourself.
“Later, sister. It’s okay now.”
Lily eventually realizes that her promise has been broken.
Her feelings of sorry came up again.
“…In exchange for breaking the promise, my sister will grant you a wish.”
Lily suggests.
To lighten the mood, Starchis smiled and accepted the offer.
“Ahaha, okay sister.”
If she didn’t accept it, it would make her feel even more uncomfortable.
So it’s just word of mouth.
After saying goodbye for a while,
Starchis is an Ade base,
Lily went back to her quarters.
****
Lily came back to the house.
In front of her sat her master with blue eyes engulfed in her magic.
“…Not very handsome.”
Chiri, Lily glares at her mentor.
The master withdrew the mana and restored her eyes to their original state.
“But is that missing? Child.”
The master looked at Lily with the same red eyes as Lily.
She ignored her master’s words.
It seemed that if I answered, I would only say bad things.
She didn’t want to do that to Master, who came to help her though.
“But did you even have a reason to send it back? I’ll have to see you later anyway.”
“I won’t let you meet Master until you know what he’s going to do.”
“I can do something else after you tell me.”
Once again Lily glared at her master.
The teacher burst into laughter at Lily’s eyes.
“It’s a joke, a joke.”
“…Master, it’s always hard because I don’t know where to bounce.”
“Hmm? When did I trouble you?”
“…You really don’t know, so you’re asking?”
“…”
The master pauses as if thinking for a moment, then becomes silent.
The only answer she could give was an excuse she had.
“…It’s all for the development of magic.”
“You have to decide between means and methods, Master.”
“Stop preaching.”
“Help me quit.”
“Isn’t it too easy for you to achieve your goal?”
“What am I-“
“-Then why did you want to learn hypnosis magic?”
Lily freezes for a moment and turns her head away.
Heat rises to her face.
When she asked face to face, she was ashamed.
“You forgot what happened just a few days ago and you talk so well. Why, are you ashamed to look at your face and ask?”
“…”
“…A shady fellow.”
She could not refute her master’s words.
“You were born so beautiful that you couldn’t seduce a man, so you tried to hypnotize me. It’s a waste of that beauty, child.”
“…”
“Anyway, I’m not criticizing you.”
“Yes?”
“I can do anything to achieve my goal. You must be like me in that respect.”
The master briefly cuts off the tense atmosphere that had developed with Lily.
Rather, he began to affirm her actions.
Does her teacher approve of her like that?
Lily, again, was squirming in her lust for magic.
Even though I know I shouldn’t
Memories of Stachis and Elzain constantly coming back to life.
She looks happy with a woman other than herself.
We are already close enough to meet each other.
Maybe there wasn’t much time left.
Lily’s thoughts changed over time.
If you wanted to monopolize Starches at first,
With her honest heart her, she just needed his love her for now.
Even if it’s not the first time, even if it’s the second time, he just needs to give love.
However, in reality, Lily felt that it was impossible.
Starchis walks in pure love.
If he connects with Elza, she might not even give him a glance.
Thud.
Her heart beats loudly as the thought hits her head.
One glance at oneself, not one attention
She thought she couldn’t stand it.
With her stupid head
Hypnotic magic is the fastest and surest.
… She doesn’t intend to do much.
He just looks at him and tells Starchis he likes him.
I wanted to hear and see that one word, that one look.
“…Then why did you tell me to give up?”
Let’s affirm her trying to learn hypnosis magic
Seeing Lily greedy for magic again
Master laughed out loud.
“Ahahahahahahaha!!”
Lily endured that laugh, which seemed to be sarcastic to her.
Withstood these things, Starchis told himself
Whether you mean it or not, if you whisper love once
Could withstand anything.
“Really, I don’t know if I should say that I lived like the name ‘Lily’ or not. Whoops.”
The master calms his laugh and says:
“Why didn’t you tell me, Lily. That’s because it’s a spell that puts a lot of pressure on the caster.”
As she snaps her hand, Lily’s body her stiffens.
“Now, this is just to harden you with force.”
Again, he flicked and flicked her hand her.
This time, it wasn’t a feeling of being stiff, it was a feeling of not being able to move.
Same, but subtly different.
Numerous blue fireflies bloomed around the master’s body.
“…And this, I put a simple hypnosis on you so that you can’t move your body.”
-Ugh
Lily felt the flow around her her change her depending on how much mana was used.
“Huh…Even a simple hypnosis takes so much mana. Perfect hypnosis, of course, does more. Lily, what are you trying to do by hypnotizing the boy?”
“…”
Lily was too shy to answer.
“Well, okay. Anyway, this magic is not the magic you imagine. If you want to achieve what you want, the mana you have is not enough. In particular, it is almost impossible to suggest.”
“…I don’t intend to even hint at it.”
If you make it behave in a certain way by suggesting it, it is no longer Starchis.
I didn’t want to do that to someone I love.
Her goals her were far more modest.
It’s just a fleeting moment.
“Simply put, perfect hypnosis is magic that cuts off the subject’s consciousness and makes them move like a puppet. I mean, it’s really ineffective magic.”
“… It only takes a moment.”
“Didn’t you want to be loved?”
“..Just saying I love you is enough.”
“Are you really satisfied with that?”
“…I’ll find out.”
“Well, I have no intention of teaching you.”
Suddenly the master changes his words and laughs.
“Master!”
Lily was indignant at the sudden change of her teacher after talking as if she would tell her.
“Look at this? If you don’t tell me, I’ll eat you, very.”
“I really don’t know what to do..!”
Lily’s stuffy heart turns into tears and flows out.
She doesn’t want to do this either.
She wants to be sincerely loved by him too.
Not through this lame way,
I like the way the mutual feelings have blossomed.
When her lily burst into tears, her teacher panicked and calmed her down.
“T-stop! Actually, it’s magic you can’t learn, so I can’t teach you!”
“… Sniff, huh?”
“You said it earlier. It’s a magic that can’t be used without mana.”
‘I can’t use magic?’
Lily is furious at her master’s assertion of her.
She is not the one who has been standing still.
Every five days she entered the dungeon and used new spells to hone her skills.
Lily took a step closer to her master her.
Then she raised her hand and put it to her own chest her.
“Check it out.”
Lily says.
If you were not an idiot, you could understand what it was asking you to check.
“…Phew..”
With a sigh of regret, as Lily said, the master began to check her mana pain her.
Lily looked at her master’s expression.
One second,
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
The teacher’s face, which had been frowning sadly, is changing.
The frowning expression turned into a serious one,
A serious expression with a surprised expression.
The surprised expression turned into a frown again.
Lily feels a little pleasure.
It was a feeling of being recognized.
“…You, what the hell have you been doing?”
“…It’s been a long time, Master. I wasn’t standing still.”
She is Lily, who always went into dungeons and sharpened her magic.
Last time, I hardened a monster so that it couldn’t approach and beat it unilaterally.
I made a mistake in the end, but that high level of technology is not something anyone can imitate.
She has been working hard just to get a compliment from Stachis.
“…So tell me, Master.”
Lily said that just thinking about him broke her heart.
‘Ah, Starchis.’
If he had loved himself, how much needlessness could he have hidden.
How many uglies he didn’t have to show.
She was to the point of hating herself.
Everything is my fault
It could have been done if you had the courage to do it once.
It was a gamble I should have taken even if I was prepared to walk away from him.
You are paying the price for not doing so.
“…Lily, I’m worried. Again, this magic is burdensome.”
“It’s okay even if it’s a big burden.”
“Why?”
“…Without Starches… I think I’ll go crazy anyway.”
The master muttered to himself while looking at Lily.
“…Okay. The other person is also a virgin anyway, so hypnosis would work better. I get it, then-“
“-Yes?”
Lily doubts her ears her.
“What did you just say?”
An important word that passed unnoticed as if it were a simple word.
Before I knew it, Lily was holding both of her master’s shoulders.
Unbeknownst to her, mana flowed from her body and her surroundings her shuddered.
“Gee, calm down, Lily. Why are you reacting so violently?”
“Master, what did you just say?”
“… Didn’t you know? If you’re a virgin, hypnosis works better. Actually, you’re a virgin who’s never hugged a man, so even the simple hypnosis from earlier works well-“
“-No no. That’s not it.”
Lily asked, her eyes widening.
“Is Starchis a virgin?”
The teacher answered Lily’s question while feeling puzzled.
“…That child? Are you a virgin?”
