Chapter 83 – Episode 83. As Long as You Don’t Get Caught (1)
Astein didn’t like the current situation at all. It is said that there is no big problem in going back as planned, but that plan always collapsed due to unexpected variables.
There are a total of 12 blessings of the stars. As far as is known, the effect of the last 12 stars is not revealed at all, but the effect of the other 11 is widely known and not too secret.
Astein devoted his whole life to his study of this Astral Blessing.
The blessing of the stars.
What a beautiful sound
Even the name is poetic and beautiful.
The protection of the stars that grants those who receive it powers far beyond human limits.
It was no exaggeration to say that Astain’s life was under the protection of that star. To that extent, Astain was fascinated by the protection of the stars.
Some people have the protection of the stars from birth, and some people get it by accident after they are born.
In common, they could have only one blessing from the stars. A person who has more than one at once has never appeared so far.
‘Astrid… ‘
Astrid, whom I first met while working as a tutor when I was young. Looking at Astrid, Astain realized that there are many unfair things in the world.
It was not such a trivial injustice as that between nobles and commoners. The blessings of the stars that he searched for so desperately and pursued after research after study did not come down to Astain.
But for Astrid, two for this stupid bitch. It also contained two of the most optimal blessings for a general: Divinity and Divinity.
I couldn’t understand.
I couldn’t quite understand it.
At least, if Astein had been given even one divine protection, such as Shinma and Shinji, he wouldn’t have been so miserable.
However, the protection of the stars turned away from him until the end, and two of them nestled in Astrid, not him.
So, Astain made up his mind.
If you can’t have it, take it.

“Is the plan going well?”
“It’s okay.”
Vera Sien sat in front of Astain, humming her extended song. Yes, as she pressed the black demons that looked like her ball of wool, Vera Shien couldn’t stop her joyful hum.
“You look happy?”
“It’s fun. After a little while, it looks like it will become a Gomichon rather than an academy.”
“What kind of small child is that?”
Astain looked at Vera Shien and frowned at her. Sometimes Berasien would say such incomprehensible things. It’s Gyomichon. In principle, private exchanges are prohibited at this academy.
In other words, dating of the opposite sex is forbidden. Gyomichon in such a place doesn’t make sense when you think about it.
“Isn’t it okay if I don’t see you?”
“What do you mean, that?”
Boing boing, after crushing her demons for a moment, Vera Shien stretched out her index finger and put it to her mouth. And with her rather serious face, she said to Astain.
“If you don’t get caught, it’s not a school rule violation.”
“…”
“Okay?”
“… Let it be.”
Saying that there would be no point in continuing her words any longer, Astain shook her head.
“And this.”
Vera Shien took out a letter from her bosom and held it up. Even as she handed it to Astain, Vera Shien gave her a disapproving expression.
“This is what I got from that girl. Do you really have to do this?”
“What do you mean?”
Astein took her letter, held it up, and looked at the seal. Familiar sentence. She was the coat of arms of the Grand Duchess of Myterien.
“It is the coat of arms of the Grand Duchess of Myterien. It looks like you got it right. It seems to be useful, but why?”
At least it seems to be more useful than you, but Astain muttered to himself as he raised the letter knife and broke the seal.
The story of how the letter from the Grand Duchess of Mitterien ended up in Astein’s hands wasn’t too complicated. Ashley, who was eating at a restaurant under the direct control of the U-Raid Merchant, which is common in every village, took a letter out of her belongings while she looked away for a moment. It wasn’t that difficult.
And the person who stole the letter was also one of the informants belonging to the Ureid Merchant, not anyone else.
The stolen letter was delivered to Astein through Akemilla’s hands.
“Anyway, since we decided to hold hands, you’re doing your part like this. Then… Where, the contents.”
Astain took out the letter and read it slowly. The more he did, the more joy began to seep through Astain’s narrow eyes.
“What? What is written on it?”
“No, no.”
As soon as Astain finished reading the letter, she started a fire at her fingertips and burned it. Even though he didn’t even cast a chant, the instant magic burned the letter without a trace at his fingertips.
“Rather than that, I’m curious because it’s called Gyomichon. The Crown Prince and his wretch… No, Astrid. Is there anything else besides these two?”
“Yes. What was its name I heard you’re Astrid’s younger sister.”
“I don’t know.”
When Astain was a tutor, Astrid was alone in the Grand Duchess of Mitterien. She says she has a sister now, but Astrid says her biological mother died after giving birth to her, so Grand Duke Myterien must have heard of her cage, or maybe adopted her, but I’ve never heard of her being given a cage. If not, she is probably the latter.
“Anyway, there’s him and him, Southern blacks.”
“You mean Cadet Violet. Aren’t southern blacks a bit harsh?”
“My skin is so what? Anyway, are they both like that?”
For some reason Astain was annoyed. It seemed that she had come to the academy to fall in love, and her brother and sister were in an uproar. And that Astain didn’t like it at all.
“By the way, Astain.”
There was a popping sound, and her ball of wool made a strange sound as the demon was placed under Vera Sien’s elbow.
“That girl named Akemilla. Do you have any use for it? They were asking me to take over the distribution network in Einhafen or something. Is that even possible?”
“Is that possible, that? Can you see the emperor with both eyes open?”
Astain smirked and scratched the back of her nose.
“But what if I make a promise like that?”
“It doesn’t matter, does it? It was a promise that we would be able to take over the distribution network, so we just have to keep that.”
Vera Shien pressed her demon’s belly again and looked at Astain with her dubious eyes.
Akemilla Ureid.
In Vera Shien’s eyes, she was pretty good-looking, but that was all she was. She’s got a good brain, but she’s only good at theory and pretty useless otherwise. She is not superior in strength, nor does she have the charisma to win over others.
She was not a character with something special to stand above others. Besides, her ambition to take over the distribution network was good, but if she monopolizes it, she doesn’t seem to think that the emperor won’t stay still, she’s a girl with a screw somewhere.
That was Veracien’s evaluation of Akhemilla.
“I didn’t promise to do that while the country was in good shape. Wouldn’t it be okay to do Even if it is a territory that is 1/100 of the size of the country now, if I can monopolize the distribution network there, I will have kept my promise.”
“Ugh… I will have to look at the contract again.”
Veracien shook his head excitedly.
“What contract do you mean?”
Astain turned a smiley gaze over Veracian. Vera Shien looked at Astain for a while, then, as if not interested, pressed the ball of wool on the belly of the demon.
“It’s a contract with you. I’ll have to look closely to see if there’s any catch-up clause.”
*
“Tower?”
“Yes.”
“A top, a top… “
‘Do you have any suggestions?’
【I don’t know much about the tower. I’m not interested in that.]
If Astrid didn’t know, it really didn’t look like the original tower.
When I listened to Ashley’s confidant about the purpose of coming here, I noticed something strange.
The sudden appearance of the tower and the story that it was growing were not without doubt. The tower isn’t a living being, and it could have been expanded, but looking around it, no matter how barbaric people say, it’s not an environment that can do that.
“If I had my sister, I would have done dialysis, but she can’t come here. It seems that your father is also thinking of borrowing magic power.”
“Well, it could be. It’s okay if you use magic well.”
There was no reply from Ashley. Even though she said it nonchalantly, she didn’t answer it, so something was wrong with her, so Astrid looked back at Ashley.
“No, it’s a bit strange that my sister is okay with using magic well.”
“Why?”
“I wondered if I was the older sister who gave a long speech about magic and that only little students use it. Hey, the power of real love is amazing.”
“What, what?!”
Astrid was visibly embarrassed. It wasn’t that I didn’t understand what Ashley was saying all of a sudden, so I was even more embarrassed.
“As expected, since Your Highness is a sorcery knight, it seems that his perception of magic has changed. It’s amazing, the power of love.”
“Hey, hey! Don’t be ridiculous, you!?”
“What is good is not good. Hey, i’m jealous When will spring come to me?”
“You and I are here too!”
There was a need to change plans. Astrid made up her mind at this moment to actively cooperate with Violet.
