Episode 695 I never thought it would happen

“What exactly do you mean when you say you want me to teach you everything?”

“It’s true. I want to change all the magic I’m learning now into spells instead of incantations.”

“It’s all hard. There’s no need for it to be that hard.”

Frankly, it’s a waste of time to change all non-offensive magic into water magic.

You can use both, so why change them all?

“I understand your feelings, but it’s a bit of a hasty decision. Just learn Flare first. It’s not too late to learn and then decide.”

“All right.”

“Should I tell you right now?

“yes.”

“good.”

Roy taught Suin on the spot. Dredd followed Suin slowly, his eyes wide open.

No, it would be more appropriate to say that it was an imitation.

Should I have just taught you fire magic first?

Maybe because I only use spells, my movements are really frustrating. It’s a bit better when I move both hands equally, but when I have to move them differently, I don’t know what to do.

Now I understand what Dread’s second brother said about having no senses.

“sorry.”

“No. But it’s better than mine. It was worse when I was learning spellcasting.”

It wasn’t meant to be comforting, but it was true. Dread’s hands at least looked softer than the iron bars.

As I do it, I think I’m getting used to it little by little.

“Let’s stop here for today. Go to your room and practice. Oh, and just in case, don’t say any start words while you practice. If you feel like it, go out to the backyard.”

“yes.”

“How should we play the game? Should we stop until we get used to it?”

“No. That match isn’t just for us.”

“Well, that’s true.”

Certainly, he himself has grown a lot through the competition. His performance has doubled in just over a month.

It’s true that you can only block it three times, but now you can block it up to six times.

When I told my two disciples to die so as not to be embarrassed, they suddenly grew taller.

I always feel this way, but it seems like there is a separate time for training, whether it’s magic or people.

Fire Endurance seems like the right time.

So what about dreads?

I don’t know.

Judging from the look in his eyes, it seems right, but I think we’ll have to wait and see for a while. As I said before, you don’t learn magic with just your eyes and muscles.

Of course, I plan to provide you with sufficient support. I also decided to get you the Strength Magic Book while I’m at it.

Actually, I should have saved you two months ago, but I was so out of it because of the ogre that I forgot.

The next day, I went straight to find Backman.

“Roy.”

“Backman. How have you been?”

“I’m always doing well.”

Backman looked at Rani and smiled. Contrary to his answer, it was a smile he hadn’t seen in quite some time.

“I guess there is some good news.”

“Yeah. I found it.”

“What are you looking for? A potion maker?”

“okay.”

Roy exclaimed lightly. He had hoped for it, but he never thought he would actually find it.

“Where did you find it?”

“You said it was in Suez. Do you know what’s surprising?”

“What is it?”

“That person was from the kingdom. She was even a woman.”

“… …Is that person’s name Ramah?”

Backman blinked his eyes stupidly when he heard the question. I was convinced when I saw that.

I never thought it would be like that, but it really is a rama.

“Do you know him?”

“yes.”

“how?”

“He was my guide when I went to Harvey.”

“How did you end up using a potion maker as your guide?”

“It’s not that the potion maker became the guide, it’s that the guide became the potion maker.”

“… … How long has it been since you came back from Harvey? About three years?”

“It hasn’t even been three years yet.”

“You made that potion in the meantime?”

“I was surprised too.”

Even if he had the Imperial Wizard’s Book, how could he learn and make potions so quickly?

Could it be that the Imperial Wizard’s book was that great?

I don’t know.

“Anyway, there are so many interesting things.”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm. Can I use your name when I contract with her?”

“Have you signed the contract yet?”

“I couldn’t. It’s not easy to meet him. If you said you knew him, I think he’d be willing to meet you.”

“Please write.”

Roy readily accepted the request. He had declined with Alcon and Lilar, but this time things were a little different.

Because it’s none other than Backman.

“Thank you.”

“What? Oh, if you’d like, could you please get me a Strength Magic Book?”

“Strength Magic Book?”

“Yes. Not the waterman, but the spellbook. It should be in the capital. You can pay later.”

“Okay.”

Backman called the person on the spot and relayed the story. Meanwhile, Roy called Rani and put her back in the hood.

“Where are you going?”

“I have to go.”

“Before you go, wait a minute. Isn’t Luna in Baron Disart’s territory right now?”

Roy sat back down instead of getting up. It was a story that required sitting down.

“Why Luna all of a sudden?”

“I’m not sure, but I’ve heard rumors that war is going to break out soon.”

“War? Is the king dead?”

“No. But that may be the reason. Rumors spread that the king was likely to die, and most of the barons prepared for war. However, Count Menes seemed to have started a little early.”

“Is Count Menes attacking Baron Dysart?”

“It’s not certain where they’ll attack. However, the prevailing opinion is that if they start a war, they’ll attack Baron Dysart. It’s well known that the two territories aren’t on good terms.”

“This is my first time hearing about it.”

I had heard of the County of Menes, but only literally.

Although it is right next to Segemor, it is honestly not a place that mercenaries would be interested in. As far as I know, the territory is small for an earldom and there are no monsters worth hunting.

“Aren’t you not interested in anything other than what interests you?”

“Isn’t that how it is? But why don’t the two of you get along?”

“Count Menes’ only daughter married Baron Dysart and died. Since then, the two estates have been enemies.”

“Why did you die?”

“I think she was sick, but what reason would it matter to Count Menes? He probably didn’t like the fact that she remarried so soon after her daughter died.”

Now that I hear it, that’s true.

“But why do you want to start a war now?”

“I told you. It seems like we started preparing for war a little early. I think the lifespan of the Fireball Scroll is probably on the line. It’s supposed to last about two years.”

“That could be the case.”

I heard rumors about the king being in critical condition two years ago, so it was about time. I never thought he would last this long.

Is this really a false rumor?

If it is a false rumor, who would spread it and why? And why doesn’t the kingdom deny it?

I don’t know.

Honestly, it didn’t really matter.

Nothing would change anyway, and that wasn’t important right now.

“Are you going?”

“I have to go.”

“I see.”

Backman nodded and bid them farewell.

It meant going home, but it seems like Segemor misunderstood it.

Well, I guess I’ll go anyway.

Actually, I’ve been worrying about this for a while now. Whether or not I should go see Luna.

It had been a long time since I had been to Segemor, and I was worried about how I was doing.

No, to be exact, I was worried that he might be too obsessed with the Solar Church.

As the stress on the Solar Church increased, so did the worry about Luna.

Even if we put aside the question of whether or not to bring him, we needed to meet and talk at least once.

As it turned out, Backman just happened to throw in a suitable excuse.

The question is whether or not to tell Florence… … .

Somehow I feel more inclined towards the latter.

Because he could have told her not to go, or asked her to bet something instead. Perhaps because he had guessed that the contract would end, Piren had been quite cold recently.

Let’s just go sneakily.

It wouldn’t take too long to get there and back anyway. And even if it was a little late, it would be over if they said they were setting up a fire mine in the forest.

The worries were short.

The next day, after eating breakfast and doubling the ogre’s ice, Roy set off for Segemor.

In good conscience, I didn’t use the sleeping bag that I received as a gift from Florence. I felt a little bad about it, and honestly, it didn’t take that long.

It seems like we arrived even faster than when we left Count Cory’s house.

“You’ve worked hard. Go and get some rest.”

Quack!

“No. If we go together, they’ll find out I came. Not towards the gate, but towards the other side… … .”

Roy, who was looking at the gate, suddenly closed his mouth.

Now I see that Nop wasn’t the problem, since he had no choice but to reveal his identity when passing through the gate anyway.

I forgot about this because I was just thinking about Pyrene.

Should I just bribe the guard?

What if I get caught?

There is no shame like this. It was before the war, so there was a possibility that the security checks would be tight.

“hmm.”

Should I just sneak over the castle?

If you look, it seems like there might be a gap… … .

“hey.”

“……what?”

“What the heck? Are you just standing in line?”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Roy took a step back with an apology. His place was taken by a man who looked to everyone like a mercenary.

He’s a mercenary.

“hey.”

“Why are you calling?”

“Do you know Luna by any chance?”

“Luna? You know.”

It was as if there was no one who didn’t know Luna. Roy nodded as if it was good.

“Then, would you go and call Luna? I’ll give you one silver as compensation. Fifty coppers now, and another fifty coppers when you bring her.”

“I don’t want to bother coming out again, so why don’t you just give it all to me now?”

“… … Okay.”

It looks like a small thing, but I doubt it would make me a silver eater. Even if it did, it would only make me a silver eater.

“here.”

“good.”

The mercenary who had taken the silver stood in line again, telling them to wait.

Only then did he feel a little relieved. Roy moved a little further away and waited for Luna to appear.

How much time has passed like that?

“Plague.”

I think I’ve been scammed.

If not, there’s no way Luna wouldn’t appear like this.

I thought it was just a silver bullet, but now that I’ve actually been scammed, I can’t help but feel worse.

I couldn’t believe that I had been scammed for more than the amount of money.

Did you think you were a criminal because you couldn’t enter the castle?

I don’t know.

Whatever the reason, I don’t think it’s forgivable that he hit me without knowing it was me.

What should I do?

After a brief moment of deliberation, Roy walked towards the castle gate.

There were ways to do this, such as waiting for a familiar face or revealing one’s name and asking another mercenary, but I didn’t feel like it.

Anyway, it was necessary to enter the castle to catch that mercenary.

Finally, Roy revealed his identity and passed through the gate, and immediately took Rani out of the hood.

“Remember that mercenary smell? I like it.”

Roy walked slowly, with Rani ahead of him. Fortunately, Rani didn’t walk very long.

“Are you here?”

Instead of answering, Rani went back into the hood. Roy checked the bar sign and went inside the building.

Sure enough, the mercenary was there. He was in the corner, giggling with the other mercenaries and fiddling with his cards.

“hey.”

“Oh. How did you get in? I thought you wouldn’t be able to get in.”

The mercenary exclaimed in admiration and offered a beer as if he was doing a favor. The mercenaries playing cards with him burst into laughter at his absurd behavior.

Except for one person.

“you.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Do you know me?”

“yes!”

“Keep your voice down. If word gets out that I’m here, they’ll think it’s all because of you.”

Roy patted the mercenary on the shoulder and brought over an empty chair.

By then, the laughter had already stopped. They quickly read the mood, wondering if they were complete beginners.

“hey.”

“……yes.”

“Give me the silver.”

The mercenary quietly took out the silver. After receiving the silver back, Roy turned his head back to the mercenary who recognized him.

“Do you know Luna? Where are you now?”

“Are you talking about Luna?”

“This guy made me say it twice. If you understood, why are you asking me again?”

“No, that’s not it… … .”

“No?”

The mercenary rolled his eyes and then opened his mouth.

“Luna, you’re in jail now.”
